BUDGET SYSTEM
STRONGLY URGED
By Taft in Message to Con-
gfGSS

Washington, D. c., Feb. 27.-Presi-
dent Taft has sent to congress his
much discussed budget" message. He
recommended the adoption of bud
get system of regulating proposed
expenditures to expected revenues,
and he declared that congress
would be greatly benefited by hav-
ing before it such a statement be-
fore it began the annual grind upon
appropriation bills.
The United States, the president
wrote, was the only great nation in the
world which did not use the budget
system, and in consequence it may be
said to be without plan or program. >
He indicated that owing to the late day
at which he was able to transmit his
message he expected little legisla-
ton On the topic from the present
congress.
Some of the advantages pointed out
by the president were:
A means of locating responsibility
for estimates in keeping with reven-
ues.
A means of allowing congress to
see how much gross it will have to
spend before it begins appropriating
for each department or detail of gov
eminent machinery.
Because it would furnish congress
and the public with ready reference
to reports and detailed records of ac-
counts.
Because it would produce an ade-
quate organization for assembling
and classifying information to be
used in telling the country what has
been done, and of the governments
future needs.
To aid in working with we'll de-
fined purpose in many bureaus, hith-
erto organized, but directed under an
inconsistent and iIl-defned nroeram
To cancel the nations debt, through
a sinking fund, and to eliminate the
deficit, which is slowly growing.

HOUR AGREEMENT
NOT STRICTLY OBSERVED
Some Merchants Keeping
Open Later

While the six o'clock agreement has
been effective in Americas since Sep
TENDER under a fixed schedule, some Of
the business houses apparently have
forgotten the agreement then entered
into, and, perhaps, inadvertently, re-
main open beyond that hour. Other
merchants have called attention to the
matter, and with the beginning of the
new month the rule will, no doubt, be
more rigidly observed by all interested
The agreement entered into general
ly by Americas merchants to close
their doors at o'clock the year roun
son, except during the holiday sea-
son, Saturdays and railway paydays,
is an excellent one, and has been found
to operate adyantageously among all.
The season of summer is coming GA
apace, when the volume of business is
not very great, and all the business
houses will gladly avail themselves OF
the privilege afforded under the C
o'clock closing agreement.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

hereby announce myself candi-
date for Sheriff of Sumter county to
hll the unexpired term of W. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ca, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested us to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners inn
portant enough for some one to be on
duty there all the time. Therefore, we
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr.. J.
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

CROWDED FREIGHT YARDS
SHOW TRAFFIC'S GROWTH
Both Central and SGabOdFd
Busy

That the volume of freight traffic mos
ing to and from Americas is much
greater this season than usual is ev;.
denced in the busy appearance of the
freight yards here in the making up
of trains and handling of crews en-
ployed. Both the Central and Sea-
board yards are almost continually
crowded, and the need of additional
space and several miles of additional
tracks is apparent, as it is difficult at
times to handle the volume of business
with such facilities as now afforded.
The Central railway has recently in
stalled an additional yard engine and
crew here, and this one, too, is kept
busy in handling trains. Preparations
are being made for the building of
several additional tracks there, as n,
times the yard is congested with trains
and schedules thereby deranged. Such
conditions evidence the increase in
business done here by both lines and
reflects the commercial growth of the
city.
