Miss Americas can beat any of the
lightning fingered ladies of the stage
as a quick-change artist. On SUNDAY
she was wearing her brightest sum-
mer garments, and on Monday morn
ing she awoke shivering in furs.
Sunday was warm enough day in
spite of a drizzling rain. Lee street
bellies and their beaus sat in the oil
poarch swing that has done service
this many years. But then came the
cold blast Belle and Beau were driv-

Pickering fire throw shadows on the
wall Poor father was forced to
phone the coal man to hurry up that
load and the little brother was pressed
into service trying to get the old
antequated furnace to work.
Today is colder than yesterday, and
frost has fallen. The women who
Were wearing light lingerie on the
street last week are now wearing the
winter coat-suits, with high shoes and
heavy furs
But though the sudden news of the
change was disagreeable, it has been
wonderful help to business. Merch-
ants had been complaining a goo1
deal that nobody was buying fall
clothes, and, indeed, as long as Indian
Summer persisted nobody felt the need
of fall garments. Truth to tell yes.

PROSPECT GOOD
IN SUMTER FOR
NEXT Big CROP
FARMERS ARE BUSY ALREADY
High Prices the Incentive
for Big Work

That the Americas territory Will
produce another large cotton crop
next year is forecasted in prepare
tons now being made by the farmers
OF Sumter and surrounding counties.
High priced cotton this fall is one in
centive, while the seemingly assured
advent of the boil weevil here within
two years, or by 1915, will impel many
to try for one more bumper cotton
crop.
After 1914, they figure, the average
must of necessity, be reduced, hence
the incentive to plant largely of the
great staple next year.
Thirteen cents cotton this fall has
put many of the farmers here in bet
ter circumstances than they have been
in several years, and already there is
an appreciative demand for farming
lands. The mule market here is also
a busy scene daily, and several ca
leads of the Missouri and Kentucky
warblers have been sold in Americas.
Now that frost has appeared and an
end put to cotton growing, farmers
will begin planting oats for the next
year, and large acreage will be
planted in Sumter.

Of general interest in Americas is
the order issued yesterday for a civil

At present all of the carriers in the
Americas office, with one single excep-
ton, are negroes, and the result of
the forthcoming examination may

NOTHING To LATEST
FRANK SENSATION

Atlanta, Oct. 21-The old fable of
the bitter bitten" may be enacted ii
the effort of l. W. Fisher to connect
J. c. Shirley, the Atlanta merchant,
with the Phagan case.
Shirley has not been arrested, and
will not be arrested, as nobody now
believes Fishers story; but Fisher
may be arrested at any moment on a
warrant for criminal libel that the
Shirleys are thinking of swearing out
Neither the city police nor the at
torneys for Leo NJ Frank now attach
the slightest credence to any part Of
Fishers story. The only mystery left
t. explain is why Fisher should have
Matched the lie and why he should
have picked out Shirley as the victim
of it.
Fishers own wife and sister do not
attach any belief to his story, and
they have explained that he is err
ratio, drunkard, and has once been
tried for lunacy.
Whether Fisher cooked up the story
on Shirley to satisfy some old grudge,
or whether it is simply the raving of
drunkard or a lunatic, The police
have not been able to determine.
1t appears pretty likely at this
writing, however, that something will
happen to Fisher as the result of his
story. The police still have him under
surveillance, and even if the Shirley 5
fail to prosecute him it is possible that
another lunacy writ will be issued.

It is only now that the great legal

that of Dohcrty's. with the action of

the question. Jerome is still busy on
the case in behalf of the state of New

very little or no difficulty will he cX-

The present charge is one of n Grim

than that of an ordinary application
for cxtradition but in this respect n
very peculiar condition arises. If Thaw
