men WILL WORK FOR FUND
L. G. Council Will Head Army That
Will Go After $4,000 to Pay Off
Debt, Repair Building, Construct q
Swimming Poo, and Pay Expenses Of
One Years Maintenance

Plans for the whirlwind campaign
that is to be conducted to open the
Americas Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, will be perfected at meetin.;
to be held this afternoon at the Wind
sor hotel at $3.50 o'clock. The meet
ing will be held in the private parlors
of the hotel, and the men who have
been chosen to carry on the campaign
are expected to be on hand. Anyone
interested in the movement is invited
to be present
The campaign to reopen the build
ing will be conducted by method that
has never been known to fail The or
ganization will be perfected along
military lines. One hundred and fifty
men will give the better part of their
time for the five days to the campaign.
L. G. Council has been selected tt
head the army that will go out for
funds. Under him will be two sub
chaiFmen. Each of these two men have
direct control of the teams of work
ers. Each of these two men have
appointed seven captains to work un-
der them and each of these captains
will head a committee of ten men that
will go after the men of the city for

Thursday night with big banquet at
the A. l.. l. armory The committees
will meet each day at noon at the ar

been deemed wise to go after enough
money to pay off all Indebtedness Oh
the building, putt in good repair, con-
strNct an up-to-date swimming pool,
and pay the maintenance expenses of
the first year The executive commit
tee has decided to go after $4,000 in
five days. $4,000 each day is the sum
they are going to raise. This amount
added to $4,000 already pledged, will
pay off all Indebtedness.
The plan that will be used has never
been known to fail, and the men be-
hind the move are confident that it will
succeed in Americas. Several weeks
ago the Albany Y M. c. A. was saved
by just this method, and the Americas
people are going to show that the slo-
gan that ends with the cash to back
'em up" is true in Americas.

AMERICUS AND MAKES A CARE

FINDS BUSINESS MEN
IN BEST OF SPIRITS
Says Americas and Sumter County Are
Blessed With Natural Resources
That Make 1t An Ideal Place in
Which to Live

The southeastern states are ente :
ing what promises to be one of the
most satisfactory business years in
their history" said w. c. Woodall, Of
the Industrial Index, who spent yes
terday in Americas.
Farmers, merchants, bankers and
business men generally are in fine spir-
| it's he continued, and the general
feo.lng is that the year now beginning
Will lie Gle of the best in the history Of
the south Georgia has just marketed
the second LARGEST cotton crop it has
ever grown, and it is estimated that,
on account of the good prices, it
brought more money to this state than
any other cotton crop ever produced.
1t is true that a great deal of this
money went to pay debts brought over
from the previous year, but even at
this, the settling of obligations pro-
duces a fine feeling and makes for
better basic business conditions. Liqui-
dation on broad lines was the order oe
the day throughout this section OF the
country, and as result the general
feeling in the southeast is infinitely
better than it was a year ago. When
debt is paid both the person dis
charging the obligation and the one
who receives the money feels good,
hence it is not surprising that bust
ness and farming circles are in sucn
good humor over the situation.
"A fine start is being made on the
1914 farming operations, as is well IL
Illustrated by the situation in Sumter
and adjoining counties. A great deal
of land was broken before Christmas,
and this was a great blowing week
throughout Georgia A well-postei
gentleman said today that more land
has been ploughed in Sumter up to this
date than any year he had ever known
with the exception of 1911, when all
land in this county usually cultivated
had been broken by February l.
"One great factor in the prosperity
of Georgia farmers this year-and all
our wealth comes out of the soil, after
all-is the fact that the states feed
stuff bill will be greatly cut down.
Georgia raised great corn, oat AMI
hay crops last year The hay crop was
the largest ever produced in Ahis state,
think. Georgia's stock feed bill last
year was tremendous-that was where
much Of our cotton money went to-
but it will be greatly cut down this
year ! was talking yesterday TO a
representative of large company
which makes mixed feed for stock and
he was complaining that sales in this
state are much lighter than they were
year ago
"As walked the streets of Amerl-
Gus today, all flooded with glorious
sunshine could not help thinking OF
what wonderful climate we have
here in the south, continued Mr.,
Woodall, DEPRESSING from business con-
ditions 1T is probably true that more
consistent winter weather would be
better for our health. but that does not
prevent us from enjoying to the utmost
such pretty springlike days as these,
Iset right down in the heart Of winter.
