DECLARES THAT
SUMTER IS THE
BANNER SECTION
MOST PROSPEROUS Seen
Opinion Of N0rthGrnGr On
Conditions

Prominent among the visitors III
Americas yesterday was Mr.. H. o
Reeve, superintendent of the farms
loan department of the Mutual Bene-
fit Life Insurance Co., of Newark, n.
J. Mr.. Reeve has visited Americas Of
times before in connection with his
extensive business, and has many
friends here who always extend to him
g cordial welcome.
Quite recently Mr.. Reeve has ira, :
eled over Indiana, Ohio, Kansas and
other states of the central west, where
drouth played havoc with the corn
crop this year and finds a pleasing
contrast in the green cotton fields of
south Georgia.
when the value of your land is con-
sidered and compared with the higher
priced lands of the west, they are the
most productive l have seen any,
where said Mr. Reeve. "The lands
here produce abundant crops as one
may see upon any of the well-tilled
farms here, and I consider south Geor-
gia the banner section"
Mr.. Reeve is an enthusiast on the
subject of good roads, and upon prev
ious visits to Americas has motored
over many miles of our highways and
has never failed to sound the praises
of the Good Roads County of the
South"
81 regret to see that your fine roads
are being neglected to an extent" said
this close observer of local conditions
"They are not as smooth as they
should be, and give evidence of the
| lack of attention, which, if not correct
ed. will result in their rapid deteriora-
ton. Sumter county must preserve
| her fine roads in any event"
The company represented by Mr.
Reeve does very extentive business
here through the Empire Loan anG
Trust Co., the headquarters of whicr
are in Americas.

COTTON MARKET
remains STEADY

New York, Sept. 11.--With cables
better than due and rains in he
southwest heavy enough to suggest
possible damage, there was a re-
newal of bull support at the opening
of the cotton market this morning.
First prices were s to 13 points
higher, but this advance met reaiZ-
ing, and the market soon reacted 10
about the closing figures of last
night with the trend nervous.
Extremely heavy precipitation was
reported at Galveston, and private
wires claimed that open cotton was
being beaten out and that the mois-
IRE would be of little benefit to the
ultimate crop unless it should be fol-
lowed by a sudden fal and an UNI
usually late winter.
The market was more or less un-
settled later in the morning, and
fluctuations were irregular. Offer
ings, however, were readily taken on
backs, and prices at midday were
s to 10 points net higher.

MENAGERIE CAR
PREPARED FOR
EXTENDED TOUR
CENTRAL HAS EQUIPPED CAR
For Exhibiting Fine Stock at
County Fair

The Central railroad "menageria
coach the exhibit car used in thu
transportation of horses, pigs and
various and sundry live stock for ex
hibition purposes-in charge of Mr..
Troy G. Chastain, the agriculturalist of
the railroad, will again this year make
ar extended tour covering the better
portion of the fall months.
The plan of furnishing exhibits 10
fall fairs in Georgia, Alabama an l
other states trayersed by the Central
railway was inaugurated last year
1t has been demonstrated that the
plan exerts a beneficial influence in
the line Of agricultural and live stock
raising, and it is expected that the
plans to be pursued of exhibiting stock
and commodities raised on the test
farms of the Central will greatly in
crease interest in the study of agri-
cultural pursuits in the rural CON-
munities.
Mr.. ]. F. Jackson, agricultural agent
of the Central says that the Cent? II
is forced this year to operate the
"menagerie car"-so termed from the
fact that live stock in the form Of
Percheron horses, mares, prize pigs,
etc, is cared for in the CARLY reason
of the requests made to the Central
to have exhibits at various fairs and
festivals.
The special car used in transport
ing the animals and exhibits will
leave Montgomery on September 29th
and will visit Columbus, Augusta
Americas, Atlanta and numerous
smaller cities and towns before wind
ing up the travel on December first al
Atlanta, where pretentious exhibit
will be made in connection with the
state corn club show.

tween 80 and % per cent. of total
capacity.
The fabricating shops2booked orders

URGES Y-OWNED
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Gov. Dunno, of illinois, in In
auguraI, Attacks Private
Corporations.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Feb. 3.-Imme-
diate enactment of legislation giving
all cities the right to build or buy
and to operate their public utilities,
and an amendment to the constitu-
ton to gain the initiative and refer
endum, were recommended among
other things by Governor Edward F.
Dunno in his inaugural to the Legis-
lature today.
Governor Dunno says that most
cities may not be ready as yet
to operate other than water works,
TO carry out the plan of municipal
ownership, cities should@be empow-
cred to issue bonds subject to refer
endum and reasonable safeguards.
IF such rights are given, says the
governor, "it will force private cor
porations now furnishing these utili-
ties to give decent service at decent
rates or face the alternative of public
ownership. Important as it is to give
cities the right to manage their own
public utilities, it is also important
to give to State and local bodies large
powers of regulation of the public
utilities that remain in private
hands"
1.-The governor also recommends
that the necessary legislative steps
be taken to amend the article of the
constitution which provides that the
assembly shall have no power to pro-
pose amendments to more than one
article of the constitution at the
same session. Governor Dunno says
an amendment providing the initia-
tive and referendum should first be
proposed after which proposed
amendments relating to revenue and
taxation should be considered.
Another recommendation is the rat
ification of amendment for popular
election of United states senators.

Commissioner Creel caused a COM

WORKERS Go ON STRIKE

NEW YORK, Feb. Slight thou
sand men have gone on strike at the
collieries of the Delaware. Gacka-
wanna and Western railroad. The
strikers are trying to force the mine
workers who are not members of the
United Mine Workers of America, TO
join the union, though the agreement
between the operators and mine
workers last May states that the
workers shall not refuse to work
with non-members of the union.
When this was called to the atten-
ton of e. r. Loomis, vice-president
of the Lackawanna railroad, he said:
This state of affairs emphasizes
better than anything I could say the
hopelessness of trying to enter into
any contractual relations with or
ganized labor"
