American golfers have been laughed
at abroad for the reason that most of
us keep a card on every round OF the
links. The English call this pad and
pencil golf and have almost as much
fun with 1t as when ridiculing Ameri-

It is an open question whether the
American plan OF holing out nearly
every putt does not afford more val
liable practice at a most interesting
stage Of the game. Having followed i'm

PLAY FOR NOVICES

"crack" first. BY a slight stretch of
the imagination a match between aver
age players can be brought to a test as
to which of them cracks wider. Get
on the green in the fewest number OF
strokes you can and as near to the pm
as Won can. Then govern your putting
according to the state of the match. IL
on the first green, play safe for your par
or DOGGY, unless it is obvious that you
must stab for the cup in order to save
half.
Later in the match you must take
chances with your puts or play them
safe, according to the play OF the hole
and state of the match. Golf matches
between average players and buffers are
so DELIGHTFULLY."- uncertain that the man
who can play straight on the pin and
go down in two puts with considerable
regularity is more dependable to back

SUICIDE
TO STARVATION
Working Girl Tired Of Going
Hungry

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 20.-Social wei
fare workers were interested today
in the fate of Selma Petersen, a 49,
year-old girl, ebployed in "a cloth
ing factory, who committed suicide
after she had lived for six months
on meals which food experts had
said were sufficient to sustain life.
Her reason for her act was given in
e note as follows
Wages too low Life not worm
living"
In a notebook she had set down
her weekly expenditure, showing that
meals, room rent, car fare and laun-
cay took 1925 of her So wages
There were entries which stated that
Ter daily diet consisted of the fol-
lowing:
For breakfast, coffee and rolls; for
nner, beef stew and milk and rice
tudding; for supper, fruit, sala l,
graham crackers and milk
Shortly before the girl died she re-
sa:ued consciousness. To a physl-
can she said:
Doctor, did you ever live for six
mcnths on 20-cent dinners?"
The menu in the girls diary was
submitted to an expert on food
values, who asserted it contained all
of the elements necessary to support
life.

LOCAL COMPANY
WOULD enlarge
SUPPLY SYSTEM
LARGER mains ARE NEEDED
To Supply Gas Consumers in
Suburbs

To the end of serving more satisfac-
torily the very large number of pat
rons in the suburban districts, and
particularly out in the rapidly growing
southside section, the local gas COM
pany has under consideration the ex-
tension of the system of gas conduits
i'll that direction.
The use of gas, especially for fuel
purposes and manufacturing is in
creasing rapidly, and while some Of
the mains were replaced year or two
ago it has Seen demonstrated already
that larger supply pipes are needed to
meet present requirements.
This is true in the near-in residence
sections as well as out in the su-
burbs.
The company expects at no distant
date to lay another large ten-inch
main in the direction of the Southsiie
traversing Forrest street to College,
along College to Lee, and out Lee to
the city limits. This addition would
meet all requirements for many
years.
From this principal main smaller
pipes would supply consumers in
other sections, and the demand would
be met all along the line. Fuel gas
is an essential, and with an enlarge
ment of its mains the company would
secure many new patrons.
Just at this time, however, with
legal proceedings pending the COM
pany does not feel authorized to make
these extensive and costly additions,
although it assuredly will be done
eventually. Americus is growing rap
idly, and such utilities must be af-
forded where the demand is SO great.
Judge Littlejohn will, on Thursday
next, hear the petition for injunction
instituted by the mayor and council o.:
Americus versus the Americus Power
Co., to the end of preventing con-
solidation of interests of the two local
corporations.

AWAITING Plan OF LAWYERS
Hearing in FxtraditiOn Case

Concord, N. H., Sept. 20-Plans of
the defense in the extradition pro-
ceedings against Harry K Thaw were
completed this morning and awaited
tie approval of the Matteawan fugi-
tlve's mother and sister, who with the
latter's husband, George Lauder Car

Thaw was anxious to explain to his
family his reasons for placing HI;

working in complete harmony with
former Governor Stone, of Pennsyl-
vania, the personal representative o.

Reports that Governor Felker was
inclined to give Thaw his liberty ami
leave the final disposition of the case
to the federal courts, finds no support
in a statement from the executive to-
day in which he said he would ap-
proach the extradition proceedings on
Tuesday with a perfectly open mind.
His only determination was, he said,
that justice should be done.
Thaw slept later than usual this
morning, and when he appeared at
breakfast, he was in the best of spir-
it's. He said he was ready for an

AMERICUS MILLS
BUY COTTONSEED
AT HIGH PRICES
FARMERS SELLING READILY
Seed Bring $40 Per Ton
Readily

The Americus oil mills are laying in
large supplies of cotton seed just now,
and find little difficulty in getting all
they want at current prices, $40 per
ton. Not few farmers are selling at
least a portion of their seed supply,
and scores of wagons thus loaded come
to Americus daily.
While this is true of many farmers
others here prefer to keep their cotton
seed for home-manufactured fertilizer,
and are not tempted by the excellent
price offered.
Mill men here state that 500 per ton
is full price for seed just now, as the
product is green and recent rains add
very largely to the weight of load of
cotton seed In large quantities thev
are very apt to become heated, and
spoil.
At current prices, the seed from &
bale of Sumter county cotton is worm
just ten dollars, a product which, III
former years, was absolutely thrown
away. This, added to the value of a
cotton bale at current prices, 13 cents,
or $65 per bale, makes the actual
worth of a bale SIS.
AS Americus receives $4,000 bales
wagon cotton every season, the value
of this great staple crop, including
seed at current prices is $2,625, 900. AT
ter all, cotton is the king crop"
