CRISP RECEIVED
DELEGATIONS OF
VISITORS MONDAY
FRIENDS OF CANDIDATES
For POStOffiCG Places Called
Upon Him Here

Although Congressman Charles r.
Crisp had not designated Monday as
an official reception day, the several
delegation of citizens from other ci--
les in the district called upon him
here would have INDICATED as much.
In fact, it was one of the busiest days
Mr.. Crisp has had since his return
from Washington ten days ago.
For the time Mr., Crisp deemed it ex-
pedient to establish temporary head
quarters at the Windsor hotel, as l.
was more convenient for his callers 10
confer there with him, as they did
throughout the afternoon.
Quite large delegation of citizens
of Ellaville came down to confer with
Congressman Crisp regarding the post
office appointment there, while from
Montezuma and Ashburn came friends
of aspirants for office, who presented
to Mr.. Crisp the claims and qualifica-
tons of each. 1t was a busy day for
the new congressman.
Mr.. Crisp received each delegation
with his usual cordially and gave at
tentive hearing to their endorsements
of various aspirants for office. He will
return early this week to Washing
ton, as congress convenes on Monday
next, 7th.

CROP PROSPECT
IN SUMTER NOT
FLATTERING ONE
RAINS RETARD ALL WORK
Conditions Not Good as April
| Last Year

AS the result of long continued
rains, the farmers of Sumter declare
that conditions at present are not s.
good as on April 1st last year. While
rapid progress was made in field prep
Grafton during February and early u
March, all this labor has been lost by
the heavy rains recently which washed
the fields and packed the ploughed
lands.
AS compared with 1912, the amount
of blowing is very much the same, the
percentage, possibly, being a little il
favor of 1912. At the same time in
1911, the lands were practically all IN
an excellent condition of preparation
at least rs per cent more work having
been done than either this spring or
the spring of 1912.
Another great drawback now is tho
great temporary damage that has been
done to the lands by the heavy rains,
ill many instances making it practical
ly impossible at his late date to re-
pair the lands sufficiently this year for
planting.
The hauling of fertilizers this spring
has been lighter even than in the
spring of 1912, whether this is on &C
count of the almost incessant rains, or
the Encouragement of the farmer, re-
mains to be seen, for a few days of
good weather may make quite a differ
ence in this item.
The farmers are even more discour-
aged than they were last year, saying
that at this late day to put in only a
normal crop means poor and hurried
work which can result in nothing but
a short crop.
