MAJ. FUNKHOUSER AND THE MORALS SQUAD
GET INTO HOT WATER 4

GET INTO +
Trouble appears to be coming in
punches to the morals squad. The
discharge of Investigator ]. E. Steele
was a blow to Major FunkhOuser. 1t
leaked out that Chief Gleason fired
the majors most industrious stool
pigeon right over the majors head
after hearing the charges that Steele
had shaken down a woman of the I'M
derworld.
Another influence that brought
about the ousting of Steele was the
complaint of relative Of Jack BrOss
Lloyd, young son of the late Henry
Demarest Lloyd and brother OF Will
liam Bross Lloyd.
The circumstances were these:
Jack Bross Lloyd, while in the proc
ess of Sowing his wild oats" met
and married a young woman of the
redlight district.
The marriage did not make a hit
with his family. 1t soon became
known that they were seeking an an,
nulment. But they could get nothing
on the girl.
According to the story, Steele went
to the office Of the attorney for the
family. There he is charged with
having made this proposition:
"In my position as an investigator
for the morals squad 1 can get the
goods on this woman. Just a little
raid. An arrest and a court fine and
it will be a cinch for the divorce
court"
But it so happened that the stool
nigeon had misiudged the character
of the family. While they wanted
divorce they didn't want to frame up
on the girl.
1t is that story that is supposed to
have reached Gleason's ears imme-
diately after Mrs. Violet Phipps had
gone to States Atty Hoyne and
charged that to prevent her arrest

OLIVER IS PUSHING
CLUB WORK AMONG
THE BOYS AND GIRLS

| Sumter county not having anyone
particularly to push the club work
among the boysa nd girls this year has
only small club of seventeen young
farmers enrolled. Sumter county IS
proud of these young men who had
vim enough to undertake the effert
even without some one to encourage
item personally from time to time.
This club of seventeen will meet
with ]. g. Oliver, the new demonstra-
ton agent for Sumter and the Thirl
agricultural school district at the
Chamber Of Commerce, Saturday, Oc-
tober 16, to hold their annual contest.
Mr.. Oliver is very anxious that every
one of this seventeen meet him at
that time, and any others who will.
He states that while he is interested
i'll helping all he can the older farm
ers Of his territory, yet his best e.
forts are reserved for the boys ard
girls, and he is now visiting the
schools OF the county and organizing
the club for another year. Every boy
between the ages of ten and twenty
one is eligible to enter and every one
should be interested enough to make
tt effort and not be satisfied with Just
seventeen for the number for 1916.
Mr.. oliver says nothing short of
hundred is going to satisfy him, and
that he is already lining them up.
There are three clubs for the boys.
The one-acre corn club for the boy
who feels that one acre is all that he
cares to manage. The Four-Crop club
for the boys who will agree to take
three acres of land and grow four
crops, one to corn, one to cotton. and
one to oats, which is to be followed
with peas. Then the other club is the
one that helps to turn some of these
crops into a finished product which
always yields the greatest profit.
Mr. Oliver states that no boy VIII
be accepted in the Pig club unless he
belongs to either the one-acre Corn
club or the Four Crop club, because
it is thought best to have each one
grow a part of his own feed.
Now, here is the big offer. Mr. w.
E. Brown, of Americas, through the
influence of E. H. Hyman, secretary
manager of the Chamber of Commerce,
and Mr.. oliver, has agreed to give
twenty-five thoroughbred Duroc-Jer-
sey pigs to the first twenty-five boys
in the county who will agree to JOIN
the Four-Crop club, have three acres
of land and grow four crops on It
next year, and who will agree to gle
him back two pigs out of the first
litter of pigs, so that in 1917 he may
have two pigs for the boys from each
of these twenty-five. That is GER
tainly fair offer, and the boys ought
to run over. themselves getting to it.
So write j. G. Oliver, Americas, at
once, and begin to get your three
acres in shape. 1t is now time to put
in oats.
These are by no means all the mem
bers wanted in these two clubs, just
starter. Any others wanting to join

corn, or with the three acres to the
four crops, Mr.. oliver will help them
get thoroughbred pig as cheap as
possible. He says they can be had at
not to exceed ten dollars at eight to
ten weeks old.
In other counties banks are lending
boys who really mean business the
money to buy their pigs. Sumter
county has as liberal banks as other
counties.

PLANS To BEAUT|FY.
NATION | CEMETERY.

The Chamber of Commerce should
have decorated car to act as an es-
cort over the trip south of Americas.
and it should go all the way through.
This would be good advertising and
would show the towns south of here
that We were still as much alive as to
the worth of the Dixie Highway as W.
We're a few months ago.
If the commissioners should go back
and praise the country through which
they passed, and the hospitality the
people along the highway extended to
them, stating all this in their reporf.
Americas would get as much benefit
if not more than any other city from
Macon to Tallahassee.
The National Cemetery at Ander-
sonville should be one Of the sights
that would impress them as a place
of note along the highway.
Some years ago there was a pro-
ject started to clear the woods in
front of the National Cemetery, bnc
for some reason or other this matter
was never carried out. President Carr
S. Glover, of the Chamber of COM
merce, will take this matter up at
once with the new custodian of the
cemetery and work the matter out.
When this is done the highway will,
pass through real park in front of
the National Cemetery. At the tim
it was taken up several years ago, it
has been understood that the United
States government gave permission to
clear the grounds down to the road
way from the entrance to the ceme-
terry.
]. B. Pound, of Jacksonville, Fla, |
has written Secretary-Manager Hy-
man the following:
Being one of the original original
ors of the Dixie Highway from Chicago
to Miami, am exceedingly anxious
that the official visit of the commits
sioners to this section of the South
shall be in the nature of an ovation.
Il regard this movement as one OF
the greatest for the interest of the |
South that has ever been undertaken
If the report that is made by the COM |
mission is favorable, this will be fol- |
lowed by thousands and thousands Of
tourists in automobiles this winter.
'You are undoubtedly aware of the
great advantage of having tourists !
come through your county in an auto
mobile rather than by railway. Com
ing through on ire highway they are
enabled to see the country and its
beauty and value.
why not get busy, get up a num-
Der of cars and join this party and
come with them all the way to jack
sonville with your cars placarded with
banners advertising your city?

at the Hotel Seminole and we shall be
very glad to see representative from
your city here with them"
