In answer to the direct question
whether there should be central re-

number Of reserve associations, with
out central reserve, the bankers re-
piled:
an our opinion, one central re-
serve association with the branches
would best serve our present neces-
stiles. Failing that, Il small number
of regional reserve associations, also

The commission does not favor the

When Work on New Roof is
Finished

The task of replacing the roof upon
the burned portion of the Windsor

there several weeks ago, is now well
under way and will be completed with
in two months AS the fire occurred
upon the fifth floor of the building the
work of getting heavy timbers and
other material to such height IS
considerable, and requires much time.
The addition to be made to the
building will be very similar to the
portion destroyed by fire and harmon
ize with the general architectural lines
of the hotel. The designs include five
large sample rooms, freight elevators
being used in lifting the trunks Of
travelling men to that portion of the
building set aside as display rooms.

YESTERDAY WAS
SCORCHER FUR
PEOPLE HERE
MERCURY AGAIN ABOVE 100
Still No Relief in Weather
Prediction

Again yesterday the people of AM
ericus passed through a day. which for
the sizzling temperature experienced
has had few equals this year In fact,
if there is any truth in the cumulative
effect of heat, yesterday was about ths
worst of the three scorchers which
have been turned loose here recently.
Yesterday the mercury again went
above the hundred mark There was
but little difference, in fact only one
degree, between yesterdays tempecI-
ture and that of the day before. Tues
day the mercury went to 102 Gnstead
of 1903 as enormously statedl. Wine
yesterdays maximum was 101. So
yesterday was very close second in
the heat race 1t would take am ex-
pert to tell the difference from the way
one felt as it was about the same to
the average individual.
With Sundays temperature at 90,
the heat record here recently has beel
soaring to head off that of the Sahara
Desert. And it's getting mighty dry,
too, to continue the simile of the des-
ert No hope is held out in the wealth
er forecast for tomorrow, which reads

right now to saying that the sun wiz
shine like bazes, and that the weather

Large Crowds viii Greet
Baseball Game

Americus will have most lively
Fourth of July from the plans that
are being discussed here in that par
ticular by the Board of Trade an1
the business men of the city.
According to the schedule of the
Empire State League there will be
only one game of ball played in An
ericus on the Fourth of July, though
the local fans in the past have been a
little bit spoiled by having two games
on the Glorious Fourth. AS the one
game is to be with Cordele, however
that will help to make up for the loss
of the other game Record crowds a"e
expected to come to Americus to see
the afternoon game, as the morning
game will be played in Cordele.
In addition to the baseball game
there will be many other attractions
as in the past Altogether these things
will serve to make the coming Fourth
about the liveliest that has ever hap
pcned in this section of Georgia That
will be the purpose of the Board Of
Trade, which will likely receive gen
erous support from all the business
men of the city, as this is the only hol-
iday between now and Thanksgiving.

SUMTER FARMER SETS
NEIGHDORS GOOD EXAMPLE
Mr.. Israel Makes Farming
Pay

MIR. George Israel, one of Sumter'5
substantial farmers, residing in the
district near the Sumter
Terrell county line, was in Americu5
Wednesday upon business, and re-
ported crop conditions excellent in his
immediate locality, which is among
the best agricultural section of south
Georgia. Mr.. Israel operates ten
plows, and makes cotton a surplus
crop.
He cultivates only twenty-five acres
to the plow for cotton and corn, and
in addition raises an abundance Of
hay, oats, grain and other supplies, to-
gether with meat and bread sufficient
for the operation of his farm and a
surplus to sell. Greater prosperity is
not to be seen in any other agricul-
tural section of southwest Georgia
than in this portion Of the Seventeenth
district of Sumter county.

LOCALS ROMPED AWAY WITH
LAST GAME OF The SERIES
VadOsta Pitchers We're Helpless Against Heavy SlUggGIS
Of the Local TGam Who Won the Game by the UD-
usually OnC-SidGd Score Of ID to 6.

Yesterdays game was walk-aWay
tJr the locals, who hit the Valdosta
pitchers to a fare you-wen. A total OF
twenty hits, netting fourteen runs,
were garnered from the delivery of
Gentry Tillman and Franks, who
successfully faced Manager Kuhlman' S
slugging crew. Wolfe, who twirled for
the locals, was touched up for twelve
safeties.
Valdosta lost the game in the first
inning, when Gentry was touched u
for four hits, triple and three dou-
bes, which netted three runs TIL
man succeeded Gentry but Jared lit
tie better Manager Jordan evidently
saw that the game was lost, as he did
not sacrifice Winges or cellars to stop
the slugging of the locals, who were
hitting the ball in a manner that WAS
not to be denied
Manager Kuhlman starred for the
locals in fielding, having made great
stop of a grOunder over second that
looked like safety until the runner
was thrown out at first At the bat the
entire home team starred, as every
man on the team secured at least one
hit. The fans who were present in
one of the largest crowds seen at a
ball game here this season cheered
the locals as they swatted the ball
to all corners of the lot.
With the air-tight ball the locals
have been playing lately, the series Id
Cordele, which opens this afternoon,
should show some of the, most hotly
contested baseball turned loose in the
Empire State League this season.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Municipal Bond Election.

Indications are that from now on,
until certain conditions change, munich
palities will have no difficulty in dis
posing at good terms of any reasonable
amounts OF bonds where the eity's fl
nances are in good condition. 1t was
to be anticipated that this would be the
case for two or three reasons. One is
the governmental Encouragement of in
yestments in railroads tsome of the fav-
orite railroad securities have depre-
eiated from Is to rs per cent. during
the past year,; another the possible
ity that there will come into more gen.
cral practice the approach to the single
tax on real estate which has been in
troduced in number OF cities This
causes investors to look about for some
other favorable security, and municipal
bonds seem to be safe, if not particu-
larly remunerative.. Another act of the
federal government has added to the
attfactiyeness of municipal bonds, in
that the income tax law provides that
incomes from state and municipal
bonds are exempt from tax and no
declarations are required with respect
to interest or coupons therefrom.
That these acts of the federal govern
ment have resulted in driving capital
from other investments and attracting
it to municipal bonds has been very evil
dent during the past three months.
For instance, Baltimore's bonds have
advanced in value nearly per cent
since June, New York City's bonds
about 4 per cent. The dealers in mu-
nicipal bonds are rapidly selling out
their stock, and the first few months
Of 1914 viii probably see demand for
bonds such as has not been
experienced for several years. 1t looks
as though February and March will be
favorable times for munich
palities to raise FUNDS in this way

THE EDUCATIONAL REPORT.

The Times is sending out with to-
days issue supplement containing the
report and recommendations of the Car
negie Foundation to the Vermont state
commission authorized by the leg
islature to investigate the education
al system in Vermont. The matter un-
der consideration is of so great i'm
portance to the people of the state and
the recommendations are of such a
sweeping nature that the closest at.
tention of the public is directed toward
the report. The reports are being dis
tributed throughout the state through
the agency of the newspapers, in order
to give the widest possible publicity
Therefore, it is hoped that the supple
ment will be preserved and that its text
will be read with care. From it is like.
ly to develop one of Vermont's most i'm
portant questions during the next few
years, and Vermonters, particularly the
voters, should have knowledge of the
findings of the commission.

dwelling. Marching up to the steps OF
the house and without waiting for an
introduction, the president delivered him
self of these sentences to the surprised
housewife:
"Your house is on fire, but do not be
alarmed. These gentlemen here point
ing to the chauffeurs and the secret serv-
ice mem will put it out if you will show
them how to get to the attic"
Thereupon, their chieftain having ex-
planned at some length just why they
were intruding on the quiet and peace
of the Pass Christian household, the gen
tlemen gathered themselves together,
assembled the stairs to the attic and at
tackled the angry, deyouring flames with
such consummate skill that ere long
the last glowing sparks were sent sput-
ting into charred blackness. Then the
volunteer firemen descended mot mere
ly went DOWN the stairs and express
ing their regrets, no doubt, at the intru-
sion, entered their automobiles and pro-
ceeded on their way, conscious of having
done good deed.
