NO I'LL Wind this
FOR COAL DEALERS
Cold Weather Causes Steady
Demand for Fuel

Americus coal dealers have cut a
June melon unexpectedly as the result
of the prevailing cold weather as
much to their qualification, there has
been constant demand for coal dur
ing the past few days, and stocks are
much depleted.
In fact, there was but a small sup
ply on hand in the local yards, as
fall shipments have not begun to ar
rive, and the prevailing cold weather
afforded dealers an opportunity to rake
out their bins and rake in the dollars.
From every yard there went out yes
terday small quantities of coal, most
ly in half ton or dollar orders, as the
hope is expressed that the cold wealth
er will pass with today, and consum-
ers can hereafter buy ice instead.

ADMISSION AT SAVOY IS
REDUCED TO s CENTS
While Service Will Continue
Excellent

Five cents to all, adults and children
alike, is now the price of admission at
The Savoy theatre. This reduction in
the price is effective today and will
interest the many patrons of that pop
ular picture place. From this date
The Savoy will have no connection
with the opera house, but will con-
tinue to run only licensed films, as
heretofore, presenting the best to be
had in moving pictures, and at only five
cents admission. The hours will also
remain the same as heretofore, 2:30 to
1890 p. m.

WEATHER TO BE
BETTER IS The
PROMISE MADE
WARNER and FAIR TODAY
If Prediction Made Yesterday
Comes to Pass

Once more you may store away your
overcoats and winter wraps, according
to the prediction of the weather mah
for it will be fair and warmer today
In fact, the weather man by his pre-
diction yesterday gives hope that there
will be ideal weather for the ball game
this afternoon.
Yesterdays temperature, while not
quite as high as that of the day before,
ranged very close to the 60 degree
mark, which is some cold for June.
When the cold drizzle ceased to fall
yesterday, that helped matters some,
too. Today the weather should be de-
cent and we'll behaved again, if the
weather man is not Joking
Many an overcoat and raincoat was
pressed into service yesterday, and it
was a very usual sight to see men AMI
ladies wearing them both yesterday
and last night. Wearing overcoats for
sold in June is a novelty here, but it
was a popular diversion yesterday,
adding several degrees to the comfort
of many sensitive persons who were
forced to face a December blizzard n
June 1t takes all sorts of weather %
make up summer, so it is said. Now
that the freeze is over, we may all
proceed to go on vacation with the
assurance that only pleasant days are
ahead.

RECENT RAINS
should AID
WATERMELONS
CROP PROBABLY Be HELPED
By Rains and Approaching
Warm Weather

The recent rains have proven bene-
fetal to the large melon crop of Sum
ter county, and while the cold weather
of the past few days has retarded the
growth of the vines to some extent the
check put upon them will be tempo
rary only, and returning sunshine viii
rapidly bring the crop towards matur-
ity. The acreage in watermelons in
the Andersonville district of Sumter
makes the crop an important one COM
mercially, as generally from fifty TO
sixty carloads of melons are shipped
from that point to the north and west,
and usually at fair prices.
Approximately 1900 acres are plant
ed in watermelons alone, and growers
had hoped for excellent results until
the long drouth of seven or eight
weeks came upon that section. Rain
has brought needed relief, however,
and the vines are taking on new
growth, with the promise of melons
two weeks hence.
The cantaloupe crop has heretofore
been an important one in the Americus
territory, with shipments of about thir-
ty carloads annually, but none have
been planted this year for shipment
The crop last year was entirely de-
stroyed by worms just as it ripenel
and not carload was shipped from
Americus.
In the Valdosta territory the canta-
loupe crop this year is fine one, and
excellent prices are anticipated by the
growers as already the fruit is selling
at 81 per crate there The Georgia
cantaloupe is unexcelled for flavor an
general excellence, and local growers
regret not having planted this year
Watermelons in carload lots are al
ready being shipped through Americus
from South Georgia points, but the To-
cal crop will not move yet for proba-
bly, two weeks.

Highly commendatory were the re-
marks made by Judge T. A. Littlejohn
to the members of the grand jury OF
Sumter county at the close of the l.
ties of that jury yesterday afternoon
when the presentments of the jury
had been returned to the court. Judge
Littlejohn said that the grand jury had
accomplished much in the performance
of its duties as required by the law
and that great commentator was due
to its members.
q know how difficult it is to secure
evidence sufficient for the returning Of
a true bill in many cases." said Judge
Littlejohn in showing his understand
ing of the difficulties under which the
grand jury labored. There are more
good men than bad men, and there are
more men who want to see the law
enforced than there are those who do
not wish it enforced But the trouble
is that each one of these good citi-
zens wants some other man to enforca
the law.
''Laboring under such difficulties, the
grand jurors of county deserve tn,
sympathy and support of every law
abiding citizen. Theirs is a duty that
is difficult to perform, but it is just as
necessary as it is difficult Every good
citizen should realize more fully the
responsibility that rests upon him OF
aiding the grand jury in the enforce
ment of the law. In view of the many
difficulties you have met, gentlemen of
the grand jury, think your work has
been exceptionally faithful and effec-
tive. You deserve the highest COM
mendatien and approval of the people
of Sumter county"
The presentments of the grand jury
are as follows:
