ANNUAL cue AT RYLAEDER
FARM is Much ENJOYED
BOuDtGOuSSpFead For Friends
And HELP Alike

The annual barbecue dinner at the
Rylander farm near Americas is an
occasion ever anticipated with keenes-
interest by fortunate ones attending,
and that of yesterday was no excep-
ton to the established rule prevailing.
Rain at the noon hour, perhaps, de-
tered some from attending, certain
ly to their disappointment, while those
who braved the elements and answer
ed the rolI-call enjoyed it to the full
est extent
1t was, indeed, royal spread and
one rejecting the magnificent crops
and boundless prosperity of this Geor-
gia plantation, under the able superi1-
tendency of Mr. Frank Barker, the
genial bacheloric host who with Mr..
Arthur Rylander, babe all welcome to
the home where skirts are an I'M
known quantity.
In appreciation of the work of the
half hundred colored farm laborers,
these with their friends, were RECALLED
with a sumptuous dinner in the oak
grove in front of the dwelling, and
the manner in which they went after
that barbecue was an inspiration to
the onlooker, who expected to do like
wise when his time came later.
At long tables upon the verandah,
Mr.. Barker's and Mr. Rylander's half
hundred guests constituted picture
of an idealistic Eveless Eden, as they
tested the delicious cue and equally
condiments. Every cue din
ner there is always voted "the best"
and that yesterday was heart-winner
One who could not enjoy such a SUI
perb repast is hardly human, and fit |
only fort reason, strategem and spoils.
Amid such surroundings, picturing
prosperity such as exists only on a
Sumter county plantation like the Ry-
lander farm, one forgets life's cares
and dwells for an hour only in realm
of beatific and perfect bliss.

GEORGIA TAX RATE
WILL Be LOWERED

Atlatna, Ga, Aug. THE Georgia
tax rate will be lowered this year.
Just how much canot now be stated
for all the returns are not yet in but
from the showing made by the new tax
equalization law reduction is as
sured.
Governor Slaton addressed a letter
to Comptroller General Wright asking
his opinion as to whether the rate
could be cut below the five mills limit
In reply, Mr.. Wright wrote that the
tax digests now received by Judge Hart
indicates an increase of about $751;
100000 over last years assessments,
and in view of the fact that the legis-
lature is being economical on appro-
priations, the rate probably can be
reduced. Just how much, he could not
definitely say.

COTTON ARRIVE
BECAUSE Of WAR
LITTLE COTTON COMING IN
Less Than Dozen Bales In
August

Americas warehouses had received
twenty-five bales new cotton up to
August 1st-a week ago-and the
outlook was most suspicious. 1t was
expected that a hundred bales would
have been received during the cur
rent week, as the feecy is opening
rapidly ON the farms, but in the alb
sence of a stable market, because Of
the European war situation, farmers,
apparently are not going to rush their
bales to town in any hurry.
This condition prevails all over the
South to the great detriment of bust
ness generally But the situation is
going to improve soon.
A resolution has been introduced in
the House by Representative Craw-
ford Wheatley, of Sumter, memorial
izing the Georgia representatives to
do al in their power to assist the
farmers to market their cotton during
the European war.
A fight was made on the resolution
by Mr.. Wohlwender, of Muscogee, who
said that the measure was useless as
congress was now doing all that was
possible to have the cotton marketed.
The resolution was adopted by vote
Of 81 to SO.
Englands participation in the Euro
pean war holds ray of encourage
ment that the contest will be soon
ended, and that England will be able
to patrol the seas with her mighty
