the backing of the president.
1t was hoped that with the outlining
of definite program congressman
would stop absenting themselves from

difficulty in getting quorum and in
transacting business. Once congress
knows that definite program is to be
enacted before adjournment the presi-

SUhTER'S CROPS

FARMERS ASSERT
PROSPECT FINEST in YEARS
Cotton and Corn Improved
By Recent Rains

Never in the history of Sumter coun-
ty has the crop prospect at the advent
of July as favorable as at this season,
and with continued propitious weather
during the growing period, the fall
harvest should prove a record breaker.
This is true as to the main crop-cot-
ton-and equally true as regards corn.
sugar cane, hay, potatoes and, in fact,
all of the smaller crops, which just
now are in the very pink of condi
ton.
Sumter county is, indeed, garden"
was the comment yesterday of an Amer
icus man who recently had toured ev-
cry portion of it. Il have never seen
finer crops growing, and ap rosperous
fall season is assured
The cotton crop is indeed magnifi-
cent, not in few localities, but ali
over the county, the recent rains gave
it an impetus, and with former deep
plowing and thorough cultivation it
promises great results. The fields are
free of grass and the crops have only
to grow, with nothing to hinder. Corn
has revived from the rains of last
week, which came at the crucial mo
ment, and an excellent corn crop is
now assured.
Never has there been such large
acreage sown in peas after oats, and
this insures a magnificent hay crop.
Every farm has it's wide field of hay
growing-peavines and grass, or So
ghum, and thousands of tons will o.:
harvested.
The assurance of magnificent crop
promises good business conditions in
Americus in the fell. Merchants are
optimistic and will go to the north and
buy goods accordingly The only
black spot ON the fair field of promise
is the wreck of the national bank here
five months ago, which took from cir
culation hundreds of thousands of dol
lars of the peoples money, compare :
lively little of which it seems they will
get back, ever.
But even such black eye and dead
ly bodp blow as this will not put
Americas out of the game of progress
Her indeftigable workers will rally
and come back in time, despite such
vicissitude.
