The directors of the Americas Ma
tional bank have been busy day and
night for the last week going over the
affairs of the unfortunate bank. AMI
devising ways and means to relieve
the situation.
The Times-Recorder is reliably in
formed that a plan has been agreed
upon that will pay off every depositor
and creditor of the bank the day it is
put into execution:
However, it is impossible to consum-
mate the proposed deal until the gov.
eminent completes it's audit of the
banks financial condition, and gives its
assent to the plan proposed. The ex-
ecution of the plan proposed by the
directors and stockholders of this
bank would be a benediction and a
blessing to this entire community, and
the general public would rise up and
call blessed the person or institution
that makes possible such a happy adj
iustment of this unhappy and hurtful
situation.
1t is belived that Receiver Dunlap,
who seems to be a most capable and
Through gentleman. will carry FOR
ward the work of auditing the banks
affairs with all reasonable dispatch,
and that the bank officials will soon
know the exact status of the assets and
liabilities.
In the meantime the public can only
wait and be patient.

BAHNSEN KILLS

SIXTY TWO COWS ARE KILLED
WagiDg Campaign in Interest
of Public

DR.. Peter F. Bahnsen, state veter-
marian, is spending day at his home
in Americas. Just now DR.. Bahnsen,
in interest of the public health, is
waging vigorous campaign to the
end of clearing the dairy herds of
COWS affected with tuberculosis. The
campaign will be waged throughout
the year, if it requires such time to
rid the dairy herds of infected COWS.
II is regarded as an important step,
Safeguarding health.
Sixty-two blooded COWS, belonging
to dairy herds in Green county, were
Filled the past week under orders is
ed by DR.. Bahnsen. All of them
were found diseased.
One dairyman bought eighteen
mich cows in Indiana about a year
ago, paying prices ranging from 800
to $3.50 each. But fourteen out of the
eighteen were condemned and slaugh-
tered Friday afternoon. In the herd
were about 100 Georgia-raised cows.
Occupying the same stables with the
Indiana product, and only three OF
these were condemned.
IF the dairyman had notified us
when they received this shipment
said DR.. Bahnsen, land had us apply
the tuberculen tests, this dairyman
might have been saved this heavy
loss AS it is, he will lose about 81,
0c0 on his investment If dairymen
Duyirg COWS out of the state would
always notify us in time, so we could
make the tests at once, we might
save them money and trouble.
AS it is, l don't see how this man
can recover anything.
"Of course, the loss of these cows
fails heavily On the dairyman, but we
must conserve the public health which
is far more important than any indi-
viduals prosperity. We shall con-
tinue the work all over the state I'M
til the tuberculen cows are weeded
out"

COLD PROVES AN ADVANTAGE
Large Fields of Oats Are Not Hurt
Harvest of Half Million Bushels EX.
pected by Farmers

Farmers in Americas yesterday
voiced the opinion that the prevail
ing cold weather will prove Of adj
vantage to crops and peach orchards
alike. While nothing but the great
cat fields and a few vegetables could
be affected now, there is no indica
ton of damage to either. Fields Of
oats in Sumter are most luXuriant
and a crop of half million bushels
is counted upon if conditions continue
favorable until the June harvest. Rs
ports from the country districts show
that very little damage was done to
the farming lands by the recent heavy
rains. In some fields the ground was
heavily packed and the soil will re-
quire to me loosened up again, but as
there were no crops planted yet the
injury was comparatively light.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 14.-Sena-

The Georgia senator had been i'll a

was thought he had fractured a rib

high temperature set in. Later eX-
aminations and x-ray photographs
disclosed, however, an affection of the
kidneys, the exact nature Of which t
was impossible to determine, was the
cause.
Two days ago the senator was TAX
en- to hospital, where he got along
favorably, and with a recession in
temperature thoughts of an operation
were abandoned
News Of Senator Bacon's death so
startled the enate that members
scarcely could credit the first infor-
nation which was -ent to the cloak

man, who got the first word, soon
verified it and communicated it to his
colleagues. He immediately drew a

LARGEST farm
IN SUMTER co.
OFFERED FOR SALE
"A Big COTTON PLANTATION
Formally Largest Peach Or
ChaFd in World

Interest in Americas attaches to the
proposed sale of the ]. D. Whittle plan
tation, located within two miles of
Americus and considered probably the
finest plantation in Sumter by virtue
of it's $500 broad acres, fine soil and
near proximity to Americas, and the
record made there in recent years IA
the production of bumper crops of
cotton, grain, melons and hay.
This magnificent estate is the former
H. c. Bagley farm, and until recently
was the site of the greatest peach
orchard in the world, containing as 1t
did a quarter million bearing trees
of select varieties. The Bagley farm
of $500 acres was purchased four
years ago by J. D, White, a wealthy
South Carolinan, for $4,000. Pr
ferring to devote his lands to other
crops, Mr. Whittle destroyed the mag
nifcent orchard, cutting down the
100000 peach trees which thus de-
stroyed a valuable asset and at the
same time eliminated one of the fine
show places of Sumter county.
But the place is still very valuable
as a cotton and grain producing farm.
Last year crop of probably $50 bales
of cotton; $1,000 bushels oats and sew
eral hundred tons of hay was grown
there, besides corn and other products.
The farm, it is generally understood
cleared $4,000 last year
And now it is to be sold for the ben
eft of the heirs, and will pass into
other hands. 4 syndicate of South
Carolinians wants it, as do Americas
investors, and the fine old farm vii
bring a good price when sold. The
sac will be made privately by Hon T.
A. Hixon, of Americas, administrator
of the White estate.
Sixty-tour mules and horses and far.
ming utensils worth a fortune will be
sold along with the fine old White
place.

Last week the ladies of the Hospital
association got busy and collected over
$500 for the hospital fund. This to-
gsther with the money already collect.
ed brings the total up to $5,50165. All
of which represents actual cash that
has been paid into the treasury of the
association.
The ladies of the association are
anxious to have the building completed
and ready for occupancy within the
next month. 1t is also a fond hope of
theirs to have the building paid for
when it is completed. It's up to the
men of the city to help them realize
their hopes. An up-to-date hospital
building such as the ladies of the as
sociation are building for Americas is
credit to a city. The building that
they are erecting would do justice to
city three times the size of Ameri-
Gus.
In building such large and modern
structure the ladies of the association
are showing their faith in the future
of Americus They believe that she
will be a city of 10000 long before
1920" and they are building to accom-
modate city even larger than thar.
One who has not yet seen the new hos
pital building cannot realize the beau
ty of the structure and how near COM
pleted it is. 1t seems as though the
workmen must be working day and
night, the building is going up so rap
idly.
And it takes funds to build such a
structure The women Of Americas
y undertaken a Herculean task.

the city to help them out.

whether a patron of his Office could
send a two-year-old child by parcel
post from Twin Falls, Idaho, to Stral-

The postmaster was greatly puzzled
because he could find nothing in thu
regulations covering such case. So
he referred it to the postoffice de-
partment
1t was the first time the authorities
here had been asked to rule upon the
question and it caused a mild sensa-
ton.
A hurried consultation of officials
resulted and after reference to the
parcel post regulations it was decid-
ed that the Oklahoma postmaster was
right, that there was nothing in them
covering such a case. Second Assist
ant Postmaster General Stewart, then
decided that all human beings and live
animals are barred from the mails.
