CELEBRATION
FAVORED FOR
GOOD ROADS
ON COMPLETION OF LINK
Between Sumter and Macon
Counties

The completion of the Ogiethorpe-
Americus link in the Andersonville-
Thomasville highway the final link in
that two hundred mile chain of fine
roads, should be made the occasion of
"a public demonstration; fraternal
reunion of the people of Sumter and
Macon countless" said Mr.. Frank Shelf
field yesterday. Mr.. Sheffield is chair
man of the Sumter county board Of
commissioners and most enthusiastic
good roads advocate. To his efforts
are largely due the fine system of
roads in Sumter, and in this section.
Il think the people of Sumter should
make visit to our good friends in
'Oglethorpe and Montezuma; spend the
day with them in going over their
towns and good roads, and then exact
ing of them a promise to pay Americas
a visit in return. "The eight mile
link between Oglethorpe and Ander-
.sonville was completed only a few
days ago." continued MIR. Sheffield,
and 1 think the plan 1 suggest will
be good one, as formal opening oc-
casion. We have enough automobiles
in Sumter to carry large number of
people there, and favor the trip"

A "WAR GOVERNOR"

Atlanta, Feb. 18.-Governor Brown
ray have felt himself a war time"
governor for a little while yesterday
for he was engaged in the martial oc>
cdpation of directing the movement OF
heavy artillery.

time by j. o. Cochran, president of
the Atlanta park board. The order
was for the return to the capitol OF
the two brass cannon in Grant park,
which the adjutant general tried to get
back from the city and failed last yea.
The cannon are claimed by the state

partment as loan from General John
B. Gordon, according to the records at

SUMTER FARMERS EXPECT
VERY LARGE OAT CROP
Conditions Now Are Most
Favorable

If Sumter county farmers do not
harvest in June one of the greatest oat
crops they have ever produced they
will be disappointed, as at this time all
indications point to a bumper yield. In
the first place the acreage is larger
than last season, while the planting
period was much more favorable this
year, farmers having planted the great
bulk of the crop in October and No
vember.
The oat crop in Sumter, under fav-
orable conditions, usually exceeds
100000 bushels, estimated, and is a
very valuable one for the farmers, fill
ing their barns with feedstuffs at a
tine when most needed Just now the
fields are green with the growing crop,
and as the acreage is larger this year
than last yield of a quarter million
bushels, under favorable conditions,
would not be surprising.

Will REVISE
COURSES IN
THE SCHOOLS
TO MODERNIzE The SYSTEM
Teachers to Report at Next
Meeting

In order that the courses of study
in the local schools may be modern
lied there will be a general revision
of the curricula. Especially will this
be true in the grammar school, where
there seems to be more need of it than
elsewhere. The High School curric-
ulum embraces a fewer number of stu
dies than the grammar grades, conse-
quently these studies have been super
vised in this particular more closely.
At the meeting of teachers held
yesterday afternoon, it was decided
that each teacher should be asked to
suggest revision of studies for the
grade. In this way consensus of
opinion may be secured from the vari-
GUS teachers for the final discussion
and revision of studies.
The reports of the teachers will be
made at the teachers meeting that will
be held two weeks hence. Another
matter that the teachers will be asked
to give their opinions on will be
methods of promotion. Both of these
important school topics will be dis
cussed at the next meeting.

medals will serve very greatly in stim-
ulating interest in these two branches
in school work, as we'll as serving to

ISSUE
OF ROAD BONDS
Will BE CARRIED
SO THINKS Mr.. R. ]. PERRY
Interview Given to the Times
Recorder

with such a full registration for the
election ON March 4th and the general
interest manifested in the proposition
to improve the bridges and culverts
throughout the county and to make
hese improvements lasting and perma-
ment, l believe fully that the voters OF
the county will indorse the PROPOSE
ton to issue bonds for that purpose"
said Mr.. r. ]. Perry yesterday, while
discussing the forthcoming bond issue.
Sumter county cannot get along
without the issuing of bonds any long
er. 1t is not only the best PROPOSE
ton from a material standpoint, but it
will tend to reduce the tax rate as nov
paid, rather than increase it. l heart
lily favor the bond issue, and hope that
it will go through successfully"
Mr.. Perry is one of Sumter's best
known citizens, successful business
man and one of the largest taxpayers
in the county. He has studied condi-
tions here thoroughly, and from his
knowledge of county affairs he is con-
vinced that the proposed bond iss"e
is best. And in his judgment the pep
pie have confidence.
with an iron bridge over every
stream, and each culvert built of con-
crete, Sumters roads will be moe
than ever the best in the state said
Mr.. Perry. "The work will be perma-
nent, and when once finished will re-
quire no repairs"
Mr.. Perry cited, as an example, the
wooden bridge over Sweetwater creek,
which had to be rebuilt entirely three
times within nine years at cost of
about $40O each time, or a total Of
$1,000. This sum would be about tue
cost of an iron bridge, which would
last lifetime, Mr.. Perry said. zone
great trouble encountered in building
wooden bridges now is the fact that
good timber can no longer be procured.
With the poor timber now used the life
of a bridge is about four years during
which time the bridge requires con-
stant repairing.
One of the arguments used by the
few opponents of the bond measure is

Came As Mild Surprise To
Friends

The marriage of Miss Willie Rutl-
erford and Mr.. Eugene A. Hawkins

ed Only few intimate friends were

hat of becoming shade She is one Of

FULLY APPROVED
THE ATTITUDE
OF AMERICA
i'm DEALING WITH MEXICO
Policy As Outlined Generally
Endorsed

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 1S.-Secre>
tary Knox told President Taft and
the cabinet today that notwithstand-
ing all the herce fighting in the City
of Mexico for the last eight days
there had been no infraction of the
rules of civilized warfare or of the
principles of international law as
would warrant any interference BY
the United States.
The responsiveness of both Presi-
dent Madero and General Diaz to the
suggestions of Ambassador Wilson in
his capacity as dean of the diplomatic
corps have been so complete and SAL
isfactory as to justify officials in their
opinion for the strictly neutral atti-
tude observed by the United States.
1t was stated yesterday that the
federal batteries that threatened
to draw the fire of the rebels upon
the legation quarters were promptly
removed by General Huerta upon the
request of the American ambassador.
The largest powers and freedom Of
movement have been given to NJ.
Wilson in extending aid to Americans
and others within the fighting lines.
Apparently the policy adopted by
the United States in dealing with the
Mexican situation has met with the
unqualified approval of the European
powers. During the last week Sec
retary Knox has talked with several
of the ambassadors.
In no instance has there been a dis.
position to criticise the administration
for not intervening. It was declared
by administration officials today that
there was no consistency between the
entertainment of this purpose of nom
Intervention and the steady progress
Of the movements and concentration of
ships, soldiers and marines for the
last "a hours, and that these meas
Ures are not designed to meet exist,
irg conditions in Mexico, but only to
guard against the possibility of ua-
expected and graver conditions that
might place the safety of foreigners
in Mexico quite beyond the ability
of the defacto government of the
country to insure.
1t is expected that a further de-
velopment in the program of pre-
paredness, there will be additional
orders issued for the preparation for
transportation of at least two more
cavalry regiments now in Texas, and
several companies of coast artillery
intended to be used as infantry in
the first stages of an expedition, and
later as garrisons for any fortifica>
ton that might have to be occupied.
The four battleships of the Atlantic
feet under repair in the Atlantic
coast navy yards are expected to fol-
low the Connecticut, which sailed
early this morning from New York
for Guantanamo. This will give Rear
Admiral Badger fifteen battleships
at that point without the four ships
he has already sent to the gulf coast
of Mexico. When these vessels have
taken aboard the $1,000 marines
starting today from League Island
the commander-in-chie will be in a
position to meet any possible demani
on the naval forces, either afoat or
ashore at short notice.

MYSTERIES of Rheumatism
Practically Solved
Action in The Tissues OF Remarkable Antidote


rheumatism is often the effect of some
other blood affliction that has left its i'm
press in the joints, muscles and mucous
coverings of the body. 1t works into the
tissue cells. those tiny, little bodies in
which nutrition goes on. And it is here
that most remarkab bic medicine known
as S. S. S. does it's most active and most
effective work.
Its action is marvellous. Be6-ridden
rheumatics get on their feet as if by
magic. That cold, clammy sensation that
made you hug a red hot stove is gone in
a twinkling. That eXcruciating pain that
made feather lay as heavy ton of
coal on the skin is gone. You get up and
dance with glee.
Your rheumatism is enthusiastically!
It is an actual logical fact, that Swift's
Sure Specific Pushes your blood, gives
your entire blood circulation a fine
thorough bath. 1t just naturally and in a
twinkling irrigates every atom in your
