WITH A fine FAIR
SUMTER WILL NOT LAG AGAIN
SHOULD HAVE A COUNTY
FAIR NEXT FALL.

If Americas had a big fair this fall
exhibiting the agricultural resources
of the county and the industrial devel-
opment of the city and county alike,
attracting here, as such an exhibition
would, thousands of interested visit
ors from every section of the state
if Americas only had done this, think
what an advantage it would be to the
commercial interests of the city, and
to the general development and pros
perity of the county-at-large She
could, and should, have done it.
Many south Georgia counties, not as
rich and productive as Sumter, are
having county fairs, and each will reap
ten-fold benefit therefrom. Down at
Valdosta great county fair opens it's
gates next Tuesday and invites the
state to come.
Electricians, carpenters and other
workers are hustling about the fair
grounds and everywhere are scenes of
work. The efforts of the workers
are transforming the gaunt, bare
buildings and unattractive grounds
into modern wonderland and it now
begins to look as though the fair will
far surpass anything ever shown in
that section of the state.
Local merchants are putting up
their display booths. They are pre-
pairing booths that would do credit
to a much larger and more preten-
tious fair, but the idea all along has
been to make the Georgia-Florida fair
the BIGGEST thing of it's kind in either
North Florida or South Georgia, and
they are working to this end.
The fair association workers are
preparing the buildings for the recep-
ton of the various exhibits. Already
the number of exhibits is far beyond
the expectations of those in charge Of
the work and they are daily pouring
in. The fair opens Tuesday. 1t prom
Uses to be gathering ever before
equalled.
Suppose this story could be written
of Sumter county fair? 1t could, if
only our people willed it so.
Sumter is going to raise next year
the largest number of diversified crops
in its history, and an agricultural dis
play next fall of our field crops of
corn, hay, wheat and other products
would prove in inspiration to all here
and an advertisement to the world of
the great resources of the banner south
Georgia county Sumter has, in years
agone, held splendid county fairs. Will
she do it again next fall?

LONDON, Oct. 24.-Thirty-two Ger
man girls who had been living in Eng
land and who were taken recently from
this country back to Germany by Miss
Daisy Pork, of San Francisco, were all
in favor of Great Britain in the war,
until they reached their own country.
Equally notable is the fact that twenty
English girls who had been living in
Germany for some time prior to the
outbreak of hostilities, and who re-
Gently were brought back home, were
all in favor of the enemy of their
country until they reached home SOIL
The German girls showed burst of
their old-time feeling soon after they
set foot in the fatherland. They almost

finer grades continue the prices quoted,
but there is woeful lack of demand
for cotton even at these low values.
Three points of the situation are now
of paramount interest, namely, the
holding of this years surplus, the re-
duction of next years acreage and the
re-opening of the futures exchanges.
1t now seems that the exchanges may
be expected to reopen in a few weeks.
Trading will be on the lew basis, and
although some of the chronic kickers
are finding fault with the new regula-
tons, made to conform with the fed
eral law nobody looks for any serious
difficulty.

great service. Hats off to Governor
Sheppard"
Rev. Robt. L. Bivins, of Americas
was reelected to the position of mod
orator, and Rev. T. NJ. Galloway, OF
Dawson, was elected clerk. Mr.. ]. L.
Wells, of Smithville, was reelected
treasurer.
Three invitations were extended for
the next meeting of the Association,
Furlow Lawn, Americas, and Hebron
church, near Sumter, and the First
Church of Bronwood. On account of
the fact that the last four sessions
have been held in Sumter, Rev. r. L.
Bivins, who is pastor of Furlow Lawn
and Hebron churches, withdrew their
invitations in favor of Bronwood. The
next session, in October of next year,
will be held, therefore at Bronwood.
1t is the opinion of all present that
the meeting at Plains will ever be re-
membered as one of the greatest this
Association of Baptists has ever held.

ON THE BATTLE LINE, via Paris,
Oct. 24.-The scenes behind the bat
tie lines denote the characteristics of
the various nations engaged. The
French soldiers are very gay, singing
when they return from the trenches
and always seeking to learn the news
from any arrival from the rear. They
gather branches from the bushes to
make fires on which they boil their
soup and coffee.
The Belgians are somewhat the
same in character, but the recent dam
age to so many cities Of Belgium has
rendered them rather gloomy, though
they are still full of fight and sure of
eventual victory.

The recent session of Friendship
Baptist Association at Plains was one
of the most largely attended sessions
this association has ever had. 1t is es-
timated that between fifteen hundred
and two thousand were present on
"Wednesday. The hospitality of the
good people of Plains was seemingly
unlimited, for all the vast concourse
had plenty and to spare of as fine pro-
visions as could have been possible. In
fact the Plains people measured up to
all the requirements of Georgia and
Sumter county hospitality. Nuff sed. 4
The Introductory Sermon by Rev. T.
NJ. Galloway, of Dawson, was eminent
ly appropriate and most helpful withal.
1t made strong appeal and seemed to
set the key for the whole association,
and all felt that the whole session with
all it's discussions and sermons would
be on very high plain.
The sermon of Rev. Thos. Greer, on
Tuesday night; that of DR.. Lansing
Burrows at II o'clock Wednesday
morning, and that of Rev. w. L. Gull
bertson in the Lutheran church at the
same hour, and also that of Rev. H. L.
Crumbley at night, were upon the
same exalted key. AS those present
listened to these splendid discourses
all forgot for the time the war in Eu-
rope with it's distressing depression in
this country, we forgot the heated To-
cal political situation in Americas
in fact they forgot all else as the truly
'"sat together in heavenly places in the
Lord"
Splendid reports were made on mis-
sions, temperance education, orphans
home work, etc. Noteworthy speeches
on these great subjects were delivered
by Brethren Arnold, Burrows, Daven-
port, Britton, Norton, Hill, Locke and
others too numerous to mention.
Perhaps the one most notable feature
of the whole session was the report
and speech on Temperance by Hon. J.
E. Sheppard on Wednesday morning.
In most eloquent and forceful way
Sumter's legislator drove some clinch-
ing arguments against the lniquitous
traffic in liquor with its damning eff
fects on body mind and soul. This
speech stamps Mr.. Sheppard as a
statesman, rather than time-servins
politician, and delegates found them
selves looking forward to the time
when such a man should preside over
the affairs of Georgia. man as well

loyal to their own country when at
Flushing they saw the pitiable plight

Germany, and it required entreating
letters from their parents to move
them. Even then they left their Ger
