GRADY BOWEN SOLO
TO HIGHER LEAGUE

Grady Bowen, the best little guard
ian of the hot station on a diamond
has been sold by Americus, and will
desert the Muckalee uniform for one
of another league. Grady has been
sold by Americus to the Topeka Kan
sas team and will leave Sunday for his
new berth.
Bowen is corking good third sacker
and the Kansas club showed consider
able Judgment in buying the chap.
Grady will make them valuable man
and it's cinch that the fans of To-
peka will be just as foolish about Gra-
dy after he has been with them a few
days as the Americus fans are.
Topeka is in the Western league,
and the step from the Georgia State to
it is long one. The Western league
is a Class "a" organization and it is
some boost for Grady to be bought by
this fast bunch.
While the directors of the club re-
gret to see Bowen leave Americas still
the price that the western club set on
him was attractive enough to make up
for the loss. This sale is the first Of
"a series that are sure to be made b :
the Muckalees during the season. E.
cry man in a Muckalee uniform looks
good enough for faster league, and
the scouts are seemingly aware of it.

EQUALIzERS YET
BUSILY ENGAGED
WITH TAX BOOKS
SUMTER TO SHOW INCREASE
When The Work is Done
Next Week

Sumter county's board of tax equal
izers. Messrs. E. T. Mathis, Frank Will
son and C. C. Hawkins, have not yet
completed the task of passing upon
and equalizing the returns of property
for taxation, and it will be several days
yet, Receiver Howell said yesterday
before the equalizers finish the job
and give hack the revised returns to
/ Receiver Howell's Office for final entry
upon the tax digest.
Sumter is going to show up hand
somely in the way of increased valua-
tions as the result of the work of the
equalizers, and while the total in
crease can only be guessed at right
now it is quite likely that the increas-
ed valuations will amount to several
hundred thousand dollars.
The total property returns in Sum-
ter county last year were about ST.
100000. This year the sum total of
property values may go to $7,5OO,OO9
or possibly to s8,0O0,OOO.
Many Georgia counties have already
sent in their tax digests and all of
them show magnificent increase in
valuations as a result of the work of
their board of equalizers in bringing
up true values of property, Some of
the smaller counties, even, show an
increase of a million dollars each This
means the equal payment Of taxes by
all and corresponding decrease in the
tax rate.
With property values increased this
year the rate in Sumter, though not
burdensome, may be reduced to an ex
tent by the board of county commits
sioners when the rate is assessed in
the fall.

ASK ASSISTANCE
FOR SUFFERERS
OF SALEM FIRE

Washington, D. c., July 3.-Pres-
ident Wilson sent a special message
to congress today, urging immediate
appropriation of 100000 for the re-
lief of those made homeless and desti
tute in the Salem, Mass, fire. He
enclosed a telegram from Governor
Walsh saying that 5000 families
were in need.
The presidents message was as fol-
lows:
The governor of Massachusetts
has sent me the following telegram:
"The Salem fund is increasing
slowly. The expense of rehabilitation
will be enormous, as 5000 families are
homeless, are without work. If the
national government could appropriate
100000, it would assist greatly. ]
am informed that the actional the na-
tional government at the time of the
San Francisco disaster, furnished a
precedent Can anything in the way
of substantial contribution from the
national government be obtained?'
"In view of the great number q
homeless and destitute in Salem,
very earnestly urge the immediate
appropriation by congress of $780,
900, as requested By the governor, to
be expended under the direction of
the secretary of war"

LONDON TO CELEBRATE
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

London, July 3.-Americans in Ed
rope will celebrate the Glorious
Fourth in the usual way, the leading
residents gathering at the American
embassy for the annual reception.
London is crowded with visitors, but
they are not lingering very long. The
hotel managers are complaining that
the militant suffragettes are hurting
their business greatly because guests
are always apprehensive of danger, ow-
ing to the activity of the suffragettes.
There is an unusually large number
of weekend and yachting parties on
the social calendar of Americans.
OF course, no recognition of inde-
pendence day is taken by the Eng
fish, especially, and it is an evidence
of the good feeling between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain that the
English dailies no longer criticise
Americans for observing the day on
British territory.

AMERICUS SHORT
SUFFERING like
RAINLESS CITIES
RECENT MAY DRfEST EYER
Average Less Than Three
FourthS Of Inch

Americus, like practically all Geor.
gia cities, was in the dry streak" dur
ing May, and is still in a powdery con-
dition for that matter Only two rains
fell here during the month, while the
average rainfall at sixty-eight Georgia
stations, was less than three-fourth OF
an inch. If a dry" May insures good
crop, as the legend goes, Sumter's crop
will be bumper.
A glance at the precipitation tables
from April 21st to the end of May will
give the best idea of the extent and
severity of the drouth.
Only three stations, Clayton, Glenn
vile and Quitman, received as much as
? inches during May, while there were
six scattered regions in which the total
rainfall was less than a quarter of an
inch, an amount hardly sufficient to
wet the surface of the soil.
The smallest amounts received were
Waynesboro 0, st. George trace, Hawk
insville 0.02 inch The greatest month
ly total was 2.99 inches at Quitman, of
which 202 inches fell in "a hours on
the 26th.
At many stations the total amounts
are the least on record for May, as
indicated below.
Atlanta receives O.3O inch, the least
in forty-seven years.
Dahlonega received 0.6S inch, the
least in thirty years.
Elberton received O.4S in, the least
in twenty-four years.
Gainesville received 0.2O inch, the
least in forty-one years.
Athens received oil inch, the least
least in thirty-four years.
Toccoa received 0.1S inch, the least
in thirty-six years.
Augusta received 0.06 inch, the least
in forty-six years.
Griffin received O.37 inch, the least
in thirty-six years.
Macon received 0.45 inch, the least
in forty-seven years
At some stations the amounts re-
ceived during May, 1914, were the
smallest received during any month of
the year, as for example at Augusta
since 1869; at Adairsville since 1890;
at Athens since 1886; at Hawkinsville
since 1892; Waynesboro also has a
record of inch in September, 1887.

McCrory school book bill, providing
that the state shall experiment with
the matter of publishing its own &C
1 cord, which lasted an hour and threa-
quarters in the house, drew some hot
talk from Representative Grover e.

baby" member of the house. Mr.. Ed
mondson hurled charges of corruption
and graft against certain members of
the house, without calling names, but
there was little doubt as to whom his
shots were aimed at.
With sharp references to the part
'the book trust plays in influencing
legislation in Georgia" Mr.. Edmond
son charged that members of the
house have been hired to work
against the McCrory school book bill
and to prevent it becoming a law. He
said that on the floor of the house last
year the member from Marion had ad
mitted he was working for book con
cern. Mr.. Edmondson called it the
trust" Discussing the charge, MI
Edmondson said:
There is no doubt that members Ct
this house are working in the inter
ests of the book trust. 1 cannot put
my finger on the book concerns that
are paying them, but l know that they
get paid by some one. They are not
fighting this bill because they do not
think it is a good bill, but because
they have been told to fight it by the
men who hire them"

bill were Shuptrine, of Chatham and

favored the measure were McCror :,

TWO CANDIDATES
SENATORSnIP, IN
The Thirteenth
M'CRORY and ROYAL BUSY
SChley viii Select One OF
These Two

Americas voters and those of the
county-at-large are interested in the
selection of the next state senator from
this, the Thirteenth district, and are
waiting upon Schley county to select
the standard bearer. This senatorial
district is composed of the counties o.
Sumter Macon and Schley, and under
the time-honored rotation plan it is
Schleys time to nominate the nexz
senator for the Thirteenth district.
The Thirteenth district is at present
represented by Senator Richardson, OF
Macon county, a we'll known citizen CT
Montezuma. Sumter, two years hence,
will name the senator
From over in Schley comes the inter
esting announcement that Mr.. Charles
R. McCrory and Mr.. ]. T. Royal, both
VI IDSm T6SluSulS VI Ll1dN1lIS, al z Scn-
didates for the senatorial toga, and one
of them will be selected to succeed
Senator Richardson. Mr.. McCrory is
in the general assembly at present as
the representative of Schley, and
very able one. His long fight for bet
ter and cheaper school books is still
progressing.
Schley, like Sumter, seems to be
short on house material. While she
has two candidates for the senate, no
one there has announced for the lower
branch of the legislature. Sumter has
one aspirant in the field, and there will,
assuredly, be others in a very short
time, as the election date, August 10Th,
is not very far off.

THREE COUNTIES
PLANNING GREAT
ROADS BUILDING
The PAGE SET BY SUMTER
Taken Up By Other South
Georgia Counties

Sumter county's fine roads continue
to prove an incentive for the people of
other south Georgia counties to get in
to the better roads" class and Ameri-
Gus will soon become more than ever
the center of a network of fine roads
leading to every section of Georgia.
Sumter's six hundred miles of good
roads is a pace setter that other coun-
ties cannot fail to notice.
Yesterday the county commissioners
and representative citizens Of Musco-
gee, Chattahoochee and Stewart coun-
ties met and let their money talk in
behalf of a good road from Columbus
to Lumpkin, via Cusseta and Buena
Vista Chattahoochee county commits
sioners agreed to appropriate $4,000
and to raise $4,000 by private subscrip-
tion.
Stewart county, which is now build
ing a section of the proposed road,
agreed to appropriate $4,000 more.
Three thousand five hundred dollars
will be raised for the cause in Musco-
gee county.
The proposed road will not be link
in the Savannah Columbus highway,
but S. c. Miller one of the Chatta-
hoochee county representatives de
clared that he favored the building OF
road from Cusseta to the Marion
county line, also at a cost of $4,000.
This would improve one of the sections
of the Savannah Columbus highway
seriously needing attention.
