AMAZED AT MRS. SULZER
Journal Des Debats Says That Her
statement Sublime
paris Cable to n. Y. Sum-

paris Cable to n Y. Sum-
attracted SO much attention in the
French press as the impeachment o.
Gov. Sulzer of New York. The interest
in the affair, which was great from the
beginning, has increased tenfold since
the declaration of Mrs. Sulzer that she
handled some of the campaign contri-
buttons, and specialized in stocks with :
out the knowledge of her husband.
The Journal des Debats, in com
menting on the latter phase of the at
fair says:
What is extraordinary in Mrs. Sui
zers revelations is the attitude of this
American wife. Her husband seems to
be in fair way to succumb, but she
shows no disdain for a man who will
possibly be overcome tomorrow. What
is more, she defends him by showing
that she knows what she is talking
about. She prepares a detailed repol t
of the stock transactions in which cam
paign funds were employed.
This news deserves attention, as 1t
shows a revolution in American con-
jugal life. Hitherto our conception of
the husband has been that of a bread
winner, money maker, and a check
signer, happy in the fact that he was
able to- supply his wife with money %
rain dollars in Europe, while we
thought that she ignored the origin of
the dollars, and often was almost un,
able to say what her husbands profes
sion was.
eve must now renounce this preju-
dice before Mrs. Suffers detailed state
ment. Such accountantlike precision
would be affecting anywhere, but il
New York it is sublime"

Isn't this an array that any agricul-
tural community should be glad to
have visit it? Every man in the num-
Der is an expert. Every one of these
hen has specialized in agricultural
work in it's most vital and important
phases. They know what they are go
ing to talk about not by chance ac-
quaintance but by years of scientific
and practical study. This is an oppor-
tunity that the farmers of this county
and section should not be slow to take
advantage. Every farmer in this sec
ton who can get away from his work
should attend this meeting. Though
the name Alfalfa Day has been given
to the meeting, it will be a general
meeting in behalf of the advancement
of agriculture in this section. The
cordial cooperation of the Seaboard
and the Central in the way of giving
reduced fares to all within a 100mile
radius of Americas will arouse addi-
tional interest This meeting should
be made a thorough success. Let the
farmers of Sumter county prepare to
come to it and to be benefited.

DRIED CANTELOUPE NOW

CLOS Angeles Dispatch to ~ Y World)
With the perfection of experiments

the world another luscious dried fruit
the dried cantaloupe. They will
turn into profit some of the millions OF
small cantaloupes left in the fields ev-
cry year. Thomas D. Mccall, of the Ell
Centre, accidentally discovered the
fine qualities of the dried article. Nc
Call had dumped a great heap of can
taloupes to one side, several breaking
open. These dried, and threw out
such a fine aroma that Mccall was
attracted, and tasted them. They were
excellent, and now cantaoupe growers
are drying all of their small melons.
The dried variety is said to have a
much finer flavor than the fresh fruit.

GET READY FOR GOOD TINES

Unless all signs fail Georgia is in
for remarkably prosperous fall and
winter.
Reports from every part of the state
indicate splendid crop conditions, ano
the effect is already felt in the quick
ening of trade.
ASK the average banker, whose duty
it is to keep in close touch with local
business, and he will tell you tnat
from every report that reaches him
the outlook is exceedingly PROMISING
Ask the jobbing merchant and he
will tell you that he gets the same re
ports from the country merchants the
state over
Ask the manufacturer and he will
tell you that the situation approx
mates that of two years ago, and al
ready he is increasing his output fol
the winters business.
Ask the farmer himself, and he will
tell you that unless something serious
happens between now and the harvest
time-and the harvest season is now
here-he hopes to do "tolerably well
this year And when a farmer tells
you that it may be regarded as a
somewhat superlative expression, TO:
generally speaking, the farmer is not
in the habit of "bulling" crop condi
tons or of taking too bright view 81
harvest surroundings. He has worked
like a horse all the year to get what
is in sight, and he very naturally re-
grets that it is not a little more than
whatever it is. And human nature,
generally takes about the same view,
But this is going to be another
farmers year!
Things came his way two years ago,
and then there was slump, and that
slump, as bad as it seemed at the time.
was not without its good effect It
caused him to pause and to take an
inventory. He seteadied his gait and
went at this years crop with the de-
termination to get a maximum result
at a minimum expense. He cut of
here and there. and the upshot of it all
was that he faces the harvest this
year with the satisfaction of knowing
that in many respects this has been
the most economical crop, raised il
Georgia during the past ten years.
Whether, therefore, the crop is as
large this year as 1t was two years
ago, the net profit will undoubtedly be
greater, for the bumper crop of two
years ago was one of the most expens-
i've crops ever produced in Georgia.
So get ready for good times this fall
Business is already Opening up"
And when the fall is fairly here and
the crops are in and the money which
is to pay for them is on its way
through the channels of trade, we
may expect to find every branch of
trade and industry in full response.
Mark our prediction-good times are
in store for Georgia, and the next few
years should bring the state the rich
est returns on record.
