There has been considerable talk In

WILLIAM LUTTE
Patents a Flexible Harrow.

About eighteen months ago William
Lutte, one of our successful farmers
made application for patent on a Hex
ible sectional harrow and on Wednes-
day Of this week received his patent.
The harrow is 70 roade as to permit
perfectly free movement of tho teeth
up or down to follow the surface Of the
ground over which it is being drawn.
There is an iron bar ACROSS the front
and also across the reslr end of the sec
ton and the teeth are fastened to .
sectional iron framework and these
small sections are united by chains.
a section weighs abosit l50 lbs and
the teeth are so set that it can easily
be adjusted for deep or shallow work.
The plan Of the harrow seems to be
all right and there is certainly good rea
son TO believe that 1t will be success.
Any farmer of course knows the de-
mand for a flexible harrow in order to
do good work on une ven ground and we
believe that William Lutte has the hsr-
row to meet this der aand.
Mr.. Lutte deserve much credit for
the plan Of his invcn tion. He was in
earlier life engaged for n number Of
years in work in m achine shop and Of
course the knowledge secured during
those years came in good play when he
began work on his harrow. He Is
worthy man and as we believe. has pat
ented useful machine snd We hope to
SEQ him enjoy the profit that is due to
the man who has accom- 'lished a work
of this kind.

Jim CROW" CAR CASE
IN SUPREME COURT
Highest Tribunal Hears Liti-
CATION in Morris Appeal

Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-Proba
bly, the most novel Jim Grow" car
case ever before the supreme court Of
the United States reached it today,
when the Alabama and Vicksburg Rail-
road Co. filed an appeal from the yer-
dict of the Mississippi court which
awarded Miss Pearl Morris $4,000 for
distress of mind and body, caused by
being required to occupy berth in a
Pullman car in which three negro men
occupied berths. The Supreme court
of Mississippi reduced the damages to
1000.
No case of this nature has ever been
considered by the supreme court. The
case is attracting attention because the
Mississippi courts have interpreted
the Jim Grow" law of that state as
applicable to interstate commerce as
well as to intrastate travel.
They justify the law on the
ground that the Jim Grow" law was
enacted to preserve order by separat-
ing the two races, and disturbance is
as likely to occur upon an interstate
train as upon a local train.
Another point which the case may
serve as a precedent in case of af-
firmance is that state "Jim Grow" laws
securing separate accommodations on
passenger trains, means that separate
Pullman cars must be furnished as
we'll as separate passenger" cars.
In the case brought to the court to-
day, Miss Morris boarded the train,
and upon entering the Pullman she
observed the presence there of three
negro men. She at once demanded
sparate accommodations which were
refused. She boarded the train at
vicksburg for New York.

ROOT WANTS TO
AMEND CANAL ACT
introduces Bill in the Sen
ate

Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-Sena.
tor Root today introduced a bill TO-
amend the Panama act to eliminate
the provision exempting American
coastwise ships from the payment Of
tolls. The bill is expected to reopen
the entire jurisdiction of Panama
tolls, now at issue with Great Britain
and to pave the way for new dis
cussion in the senate.
Senator Root gave notice that ha
would speak January 21 in support OF
his bill, and it is understood that
number of other senators will fol-
low him with speeches, both for and
against the proposed repeal
Many members of the senate de-
clared recently that they favored
meeting Great Britain's objections to-
the canal law by repeating the frS&
toll provision rather than submit the
whole subject to arbitration on tho
question of the right of the Unitaa
States to grant passage to American
owned ships. Senator Root opposed
the free toll provision when the act
was passed last summer and sinca
then has favored either arbitration
or the striking out of the clause.

INDICATIONS
ARE GOOD FOR
PEACH CROP
TOO EARLY 70 FORETELL
What Kind Of Crop Will be
Had

While it is rather early in the season
to figure upon the prospect of peacl
crop this year, it is none the less en-
couraging to the large orchard own
ers in the Americus territory to know
that conditions thus far have been
favorable, and the trees are in excel
lent condition at this time. Fruit grow
ers state that there has been enough
cold weather this winter to prevent
premature swelling of peach buds, and
if this condition continues until the
danger period is passed in March, an
other good peach crop is promised.
Despite the cutting down recently of
the great Bagley orchard of 100000
trees, there remain more than 100000
fine bearing peach trees in the half
dozen orchards near Americus, and
with these trees in good condition the
yield here will be large, provided the
crop conditions are favorable.
Americus fruit growers shipped
nearly 800 carloads of peaches last
seaeon to Eastern markets, besides the
many cars sold to local canneries, and
while cash results were not as good
as expected, the outturn this year may
be better.

SUPPORT TO
BE GIVEN
TO DAVANT
EIGHT OF HIS TICKET chosen
To Serve as Aldermen With
Him

Savannah, Ca, Jan. 16.-Capt. R. T.
Davant and eight of his twelve can
didates for aldermen were elected in
yesterdays city election.
Capt. Davants majority over Capt
George P. Walker was 364 votes He
was defeated by Mayor Tiedeman two
years ago by 298 votes.
The Walker aldermen elected were
Maj. w. w. Williamson, Capt. George
B. Elton, H B Grimshaw and Her
bert L. Keyton The last two are
now aldermen. They defeated J. A.
Logan, R. D. Charlton, Robert Fech-
ner and Jacob Gazan
Perhaps never in the history of Sa-
Sannah politics had such intense in
terest in the outcome been sustained
from the opening of the polls to the
counting of the ballots. Although
some of the Walker leaders conceded
the defeat of their mayoralty candidate
within an hour after the polls closed,
hundreds of the faithful remained
around the courthouse hopeful to the
last that the final returns might turn
the tide of victory in their favor.
SO close was the vote for some OF
the aldermanic candidates that their
fate was in the balance until the very
last ballot had been counted Returns
from the last box of the last district
changed the result as far as two me.---
bers of the board of aldermen were
concerned. 1t was pretty generally BE-
lieved during the day that Capt. Davant
would have a majority of 500, and tina;
he would carry his entire board to VIC
tory with him, and this belief was veri-
fed by the result.
The total number of ballots cast was
5,76S, Recorder John E. Schwarz, who
was unopposed for reelection, receiv
ed 5,661 of them. Hissname was or
both ballots.
W. ]. Pierpont led the Davant ticket
with 1921 votes. Next to him wa:
w. H. Wright, E. A. M. Schroeder
DR.. John w Daniel ard John E Fol
followed in the order named.
Capt. Walker carried the First dis
trict by Is votes, and the Fourth dis
trict by $50 votes,

FADED PAPER
HAS RECORD
OF EVENTS
THAT OCCURRED HERE IN 1862.
Mrs. Bolton Owns Copy Of
Old Newspaper

Mrs. J. F. Bolton, of Americus. pos
sesses an interesting relic of tho
early sixties in a copy of the old SUM
ter Republican of January 31st, 1862,
now nearly fifty-one years old. The
paper, a small three column single
sheet. no larger than pocket hand
kerchief, was published by Charles W.
Hancock, who established it here in
1854 and who conducted it many years
thereafter, and in enlarged form, as
one eff the influential newspapers os
pioneer days in Southwestern Geor-
gin
The lttle copy, SO carefully pres@rv
cd y IArs. Bolton was gotten ou. un-
der the generally distressing circum-
stances incident to the civil war, as
paper " as as scarce here as were mary
articles of daily consumption. The
faded copy contains some interest
war news, among other items tile ap-
pearance of federal troops about Sa-
vannah, and the fear occasioned in that
city when seventeen of the enemy'q
war vessels appeared in Warsaw sound
near Tybee.
Another item of local interest an
nounces the return from Virginia, on
furlough, of Captain A. S. Cults, after
the battle of Draneville, Va, in which
his command, the Sumter Light Ar
tillery, had taken conspicuous and
gallant part.
The legal sales are interesting.
while among the small number Of
advertisements carried appear the
names of A. D. Bruce, bookseller, Doc
tors Hardwick & Lamar, DR.. H. C. Bai-
ley and DR.. T. E. Smith, all we'll known
physicians; S. Daniels Co, furniture
dealers; Johnson & Harold, grocers;
Worrill & Hawkins, attorneys, all e
whom have long since passed away.
Mrs. Bolton values the old paper high
ly, as IT is probably the only copy OF
that perio1 in existence.

COUNTY FAIR
FOR SUMTER
THIS FALL
EARLY START is DESIRED
Premium List Should Be
Gotten Up

A county fair for Sumter county
this fall is very much desired and a
determined effort will be made to get
things under way so that the county
may enjoy this much needed exhibit
ton of it's resources and achievements
agriculturally and industrially.
Heretofore there has been much said
about a county fair in Sumter. Every
year The Times-Recorder has revived
the subject, only to see it meet with a
little interest and then fade away into
oblivion soon. But there are men here
interested in the success of the county
fair who say that it will be made a
genuine success this year. They will
undertake the work in that spirit.
1t is we'll for the premium list 0f
the fair to be raised as early in the
year as possible Then the farmers Of
the county will have an opportunity
to look after the many phases of agri-
cultural products that are to be dis
played at the fair. Corn contests, live
stock contests, exhibits of preserves
and other canned goods and all the
many food products that the county af-
fords should be shown at their best.

will be general in the South, the United
Daughters of the Confederacy in Geor-
gia will celebrate the day in each OF
the numerous chapters of that orgal
ization in the state.
A general program has been arrang,
ed for the chapters of the organization,

for the services is the Methodist
church. The services, however, will be
held at 300 o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time the crosses of honor viii
be delivered to all veterans who have
applied for them.
The local chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy have made point
of having a general program arrang-
ed for the occasion, the only difference
in the order of exercises being that
local speakers in each place handle
the same topics that are outlined in
the general program. This will lead
to a completeness and uniformity Of
exercises that is desirable.
Among the veterans to whom crosses
of honor will be awarded at the meet
ing are Messrs. Charles L. Ansley, Sr,
Lee G. Council, J. E. Gyles, ]. B. Hol-
ley, Charles D. Morris, Mrs Mamie
Myers Cato and Mrs Laura Bosworth
