death RATE LOWER

Henry Hamilton. Paris Walkers
efficient assistant, says the death
rate during the months OF June and
July OF each year is generally lower
than any other time in tho year.
This seems strange rs the weather
daring this period Is usually very
warm and hard TO bear He also
said the infant mortality has greatly
decreased during the summer period.
This IL due largely to increased medi-
cal knowledge and sanitation.
People are rapidly learning how to
properly take care sof themselves
which was less true number oil

STORES OF LOCAL PEOPLE
PRAISING GLOBE TONIC
What One of Our Prominent
Business Men iSSayiDg

Scores of people from surrounding
towns and country are helping 10
swell the crowds that are buying the
truly wonderful medicine that has
done so much good for 50 many people
of Americas and vicinity. Many pep
pie have reported complete cures or
great benefits, and many of them have
suffered for years before taking Globe
Tonic. Its remarkable soothing, heal
ing and tonic properties seem to ben
eft every one from the start. Many of
our most popular and reliable citizens
are enthusiastically praising the great
medicine. One of our prominent bust
ness men told the reporter of this ar
ticle that while he did not want his
name published Globe Tonic has prov
ed a great blessing to him. He said:
81 have used but one bottle of Globe
Tonic, but it has done me so much good
that l would have more if had to pay
s. a bottle for it. | was bloated very
much, but that has all gone down
was very nervous and had severe rheu-
matte pains in different parts of my
body, but the pains have ceased and ]
am no longer nervous. I shall keep GA
taking Tonic until l know the cure
| is permanent" We invite you to
call at 528 Cototon avenue, unde"
the Sumter hoteD, and get free sam
pies of this wonderful health giving
medicine. If you cannot call, We sell
the regular 81 size bottles for Csc,

|EXCEPTIO nal OAT CROP
ON JUDGE HIXON'S PLACE
Is Probably the Best in the
County

To Judge j. A. Hixon, of Americas,
is accorded the honor of having pro-
duced probably the best crop of oats,
acreage considered, in Sumter county
this year, the yield being probably
eighty bushels per acre, according 70
the estimate of Mr.. Thomas G. Hudson
former commissioner of agriculture
and other practical farmers who went
over Judge Hixon's fifty acre oat field
just before the grain was cut.
The crop has not yet been threshed
out, but Mr.. Hudson stated yesterday
that he was sure it would yield eighty
bushels per acre, or a total of 1000
bushels, as he had seldom seen finer
oats.
If the estimate is true, this is, indeed,
an excellent yield, as the average yield
of oats per acre is thirty to fifty bush
els, according to seasons, and the
amount of fertilizer used, while sixty
bushels per acre is considered eXcep-
tionally good, though many Sumter
county farms have produced from fifty
| to sixty bushels oats to the acre this
year, where seasons were favorable.
At 50 cents per bushel Judge Hixon
has crop already made that beats
raising cotton.

SENTIMENT IS GROWING
FOR PRISON reform
Some Legislators Declare
Their Intentions

Atlanta, Ga, June Fulton coun-
tvs representative in the approach.
ing assembly will unanimously favor
the request of the Prison Association
of Georgia for the appointment of a
commission to look into penal condi-
tons in Georgia, and suggest what
ever reforms and improvements may
be needed along practical and conser-
vative lines. r.a
Representative Jno. Y. Smith has al
ready been quoted as heartily in favor
of the measure; Representative R. ..
Cochran has promised that he will
give it his support, and Representa-
tive R. B. Blackburn has given the
following interview on the subject:
Unless some unforeseen complica-
ton arises, l shall be glad to vote for
the creation of such commission |
can see no harm that will come to 4,
and on the other hand, it is quite pos
sible that great good may result.
think such a commission should be
given the power to investigate the
penal system thoroughly and instruct
ed to report back to the legislature.
1T seems to me that this is con.
sentative and intelligent way and
possibly the best way to get reliable
and uncolored information on prison
condition in Georgia.
81 am in favor of treating convicts
in a humane way, at all times consist
ent with safety to the state. If there
is any inhuman punishment being in
ficted on conyicts in Georgia, or u
taey are being subjected to any inhu-
man or unnecessarily cruel treatment,
such conditions should be taken cog
nizance of by the legislature, and cor
rected so far as possible.
Personally l think that the ulti-
mate solution of the, convict question
in Georgia will be the creation of a
central penitentiary. However, / am
net prepared to say that the time is
yet approaching for that solution. IN
the meantime, think the penal lava
we have should be enforced humane

NEGROES ONLY TAUGHT
MANUAL TRAINING

Quitman Ga, June Tt has been
matter of some surprise to many
citizens here to learn that only schools
in Brooks county which have modern
manual training are several of the
best schools for negroes For two
years this work has been going on In
these negro schools and as the negroes
and whites keep very much to them
selves in all school or social affairs,
the white people were unaware of this
feature in the colored schools.
Attention was attracted to it by the
remarkable display made by the Sim
mons Hill negro school at its closing.
This display consisted of really beauti-
full examples of handicraft, embroid-
cry, plain sewing, knitting, basketry.
In addition to these crafts, domestic
science is taught, cooking, house
work etc.
This school is in the best negro com
munity in the county, one where the
negroes own their own farms and are
prosperous. They are good country
people and good citizens, and most of
them have substantial bank accounts.
They subscribe money and supplement
the school term provided for by the
state fund, having a school Of seven or
eight months instead OF six. The in
dustrial teacher is provided for out of
the fund left by Philadelphia woman
to provide industrial teaching for the
rural negro schools of the south. She
is to work for the entire county, but
has organized classes in only few Of
the schools.
County supt. Mccall is very muck
pleased with the effect of this work
among the negroes.
