EE-FOURTKS OF CROP
IN SUMTER IS PICKED

Probably three fourths of the cotton
crop of Sumter has been picked and
ginned and since yesterdays frost put
the kibosh on any prospect of a top
crop the farmers will not be long in
getting out what remains in the fields.
Of this cotton picked a very small per
cent. has yet been sold, though even
with the low prices of the week there
seems more disposition to sell than
was the case some time ago. good
many complaints are being heard of
damaged cotton from the neglect Of
some of the growers to properly house
that they have picked, some of them
simply piling it up and leaving it
where it is exposed to all sorts of
weather. The cotton that has been
picked and properly housed is of very
fine quality, but that which has not
been taken care of as it should have
been, is very poor and will be worth
very little, as the owner will find out
when he comes to dispose of it.

AMERICUS GIVES
GENEROUSLY To
LOCAL HOSPITAL

The Americas and Sumter County
Hospital is to receive material assist
ance at the hands of the city council
i the payment of the annual contri-
button of 5000 which has been deferred
for several months. A committee from
the Hospital association appeared be-
fore council in meeting last night and
explained the pressing financial needs
of that worthy institution, which is
doing such a noble work for the city,
county and vicinity.
The result was the adoption of a
resolution ordering the payment Of
the annual contribution of 5000, and
a warrant for that sum will be issued
the ladies at once by Clerk Weaver,
upon order of the council.
Inasmuch as the city had contribut-
ed recently in the matter of bond is
sue of $4,000 for the completion OF
the hospital building, the annual con-
tribution Of $500, which has been
made in recent years, was held up for
the time. Now, however, that the in
stitution is in such pressing need OF
other financial assistance the council
will again resume the payment of its
5000 contribution under is former
agreement.
This generous gift, with the contri-
button of the county will go towards
placing the hospital upon better fl
nancial basis. Recently there have
been very few pay patients there,
which fact has served to reduce the
income of the hospital considerably

GEORGIA IS OPENING HER GATES .
TO FAMILIES OF STRICKEN BELGIANS
Lands For Cultivation Offered Thrifty People
Counties Are
Inviting This to Come Here.

Offers to furnish forty more families
of Belgian farmers with sufficient
funds to maintain them for one year
have been made by two Savannah
bankers, one of whom also offered to
let twenty families have lands free.
These bankers are Mills B. Lane, pres
ident of the Citizens and Southern
Bank, and William F. McCauley, pres
ident of the Savannah Bank and Trust
Company.
The Belgian is an intensive farmer.
He is trucker and in his own country
seldom farms large acreages. The ma
jority of the farms in Belgium are
of only few acres and yet the farm
ers work it every day in the year,
and none Of the land is idle. He
makes an excellent living and besides
furnishes many of the markets of Eu-
rope with a large percentage of the
truck products consumed.

In Americas, as in many south
Georgia cities, the movement inaugu-
rated to induce Belgian settlers to
come to Georgia is discussed with
great interest. Boards of trade are
communicating with the Belgian min
lister at Washington, and it seems an
assured fact that thousands of these
homeless but thrifty people will be
brought to the South and given a pew
start in life. Sumter county could
with advantage locate some Of them on
her spare lands.
The Savannah board of trade is in
terested in the plan to provide homes
in Chatham county for refugee farm
ers and announced yesterday the APP
pointment of a committee to cooper
ate with the statewide Belgian refugee
committee which has been organized
for the purpose Of caring for refugees
coming from Belgium to Georgia.

Their food consists almost entirely of
insects which prey upon vegetation, as
the boil weevil, or the human form di-

This report says that the migration
of the bull-bat is one of the most won

on the Alaskan Yukon and fly across
the United States to their winter home
in the Argentine Republic, South
