PLENTY FROM TIME BEFORE
Old Parishioner Found Way to Cling
to His Original Position About
Miracle.

One Sunday morning a certain
young pastor in his first charge an
nounced nervously:
Il will take for my text the words,
And they fed five men with five thou
sand loaves of bread and two thou
sand fishes.'"
At this misquotation an old par
ishioner from his seat in the amen
corner said audibly:
That's no miracle could do 1t
myself"
The young preacher said nothing at
the time, but the next Sunday he an
nounced the same text again. This
time he got 1t right:
And they fed five thousand men on
five loaves of bread and two fishes" "
He waited moment and then, lean
ing over the pulpit and looking at the
amen corner, he said:
And could you do that, too. Mr..
SMITH"
"Of course l could" Mr.. Smith re.
piled.
And how could you do it?" said
the preacher.

successful issue in the fighting on the
Turkish peninsula was brighter. The
renewed attempt against the Turkish
positions. which apparently is in full
swing. seems to be a concerted one.
Attacks are being made at the tip of
the peninsula along the Krithia road,

Sari Bair, where an important crest
has been occupied, according to Gen.

ACID PHOSPHATE

PING TIME BEGINS

The Americus plant of the Interna-
tional Agricultural Corporation, man
ufacturers of acid phosphate, and of
which Mr.. Roy G. Parker is local
manager, has closed its manufactur-
ing period for the current year and
will shut down for an indefinite time.
The Americus plant has turned out
more than 10000 tons acid phosphate
annually, but the output this season is
far short of that figure, owing to the
shortage of the potash supply used in
manufacturing acid, and which is OBJ
tanned in Germany.
Ordinarily, potash sells here for $40
per ton, but as a result of the German
war and closing of her commerce, the
price scared to $3.50 per ton, and none
of the commodity is to be had even at
that figure. The Americus plant en-
ploys large force and is one of the
city's important industrial enterprises.

Out on the Americus-S -Smithville
highway, four miles from the city, is
one of the finest fields of tobacco in
Sumter county, where the plant is ex-
tensively cultivated and grows to per-
fection. This field of ten acres is upon
the farm of r. r. Rogers, and is the
admiration of hundreds who pass that
way daily. The tobacco plants have
already attained a growth of four to
five feet. and will yet attain a greater
height before the fine crop is harvest
ed. The field is clean of grass and
weeds, while laborers pick over the
stalks daily to prevent any attack
upon the part of tobacco worms To-
bacco has long been profitably grown
in Sumter county, where even the
orange and banana of the tropics re-
spond to generous soil and climate.
