Mr.. J. G. Oliver has been appointed
farm demonstrator for Sumter county
by ]. Phil Campbell, state agent of the
United States agricultural demonstra
tion department. Mr.. Oliver is one
of the best posted demonstrators in the
state, and it was upon a recommends
tion of Secretary Manager Hyman, of
the Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce, that his SER
vices were made available for Sumter
county
Mr.. Oliver was located at Macon fo"
about five years, and his coming to
Sumter county will be the better for
the service in Bibb county, where h.
and Secretary Hyman were CLOSELY
connected in demonstration work.
Mr.. Oliver had abandoned the work
OF demonstrating about two years ago,
and during that time had been gen.
eral manager of one of the larges.
plantations in Georgia, located at Rey~
nolds.
Knowing Sumter county and its peo
pie as well as he did, and with tho
assurance that the county COMMISSION.
ers and the Chamber of Commerce
would pull together to assist him in
the work, was an extra inducement to
get him to accept the position, wher
it was rendered to him.
Sumter county farmers can we'll
feel proud of the fact that Mr.. Oliver
is to be. demonstrator, for they can
now know that Sumter has one of tn,
very best men in the service, and his
opinions can be relied upon. Mr.. OH
yer has opened his Office in the Cham
Der of Commerce quarters, where he
can be found, when he is in the city
He will be on hand every Saturday t.
confer with the farmers who call and
desire information on any phase Of

Christians are poor advertisement
for the gospel. TIE revival music in
itself is enough to draw the great
throngs which nightly crowd the build

surprised to find the music of such
fine quality. There is less religious
rag-time than is usually associated
with revival meetings. 1t is no valid
objection to the revival music that it
is so thoroughly entertaining. The
people seem to sing. not as a religious
duty, but for the sheer joy of singing.
The songs of this meeting will live
and continue to carry the gospel mes

Arthur Moore built his remarkable
sermon last night around the story oe
the rich young ruler who went away
from Christ. Taking as his text, "He
Went Away" he pointed out the fall
lacy of hoping for perfect success, per-

any other means than complete sur

the futility of any life that is lacking
in that which comes alone from Je-

Passenger train service on the Sea-

cry is to be increased by the resumu.
ton of schedules of trains Nos. 13 and
IA, II the request made of the Georgia
railroad commission by citizens OF
Montgomery and every town between
the Alabama capital city and Americus
Is favorably considered, as there is
every reason to believe will be the re-
suit. Petitions to this end are now
being very largely signed by merchants
all along the line.
The effort to have this train ser.
vice restored will come through the
Americus Chamber of Commerce.
where all petitions will be filed short
ly and transmitted to the railway CON-
mission.
The Seaboard railway authorities
promised the commission a year ago.
when permission was granted to dis.
continue trains 13 and ID between
Americus and Montgomery because or
the financial conditions then existing.
that this service would be restored and
through trains resumed Just as soon
as business and traffic conditions
would warrant.
An era of better times is now at
hand; the railway is doing an enor.
nous passenger and freight business
again, and patrons along the line now
demand that the promise made a wear
ago be carried out in wood faith.
To this end petitions addressed to
the Georgia railway commission are
being circulated now IN Montgomery
and all towns along the Seaboard OF
the Alabama side; also in Lumpkir
Richland, Preston, Plains and Ameri.
Gus. These petitions will be consoli.
dated at the Americus Chamber of
Commerce and sent to the railroad
commission at the next meeting oe
that body. In view of the company's
promise to resume service. it is be-
lieved that the commission will so di
rect.
Since the trains, 13 and IA were dis
continued between Montgomery and
Americus' the Seapoard authorities
asked permission to cut them out also
between Americus and Helena, ninety
miles east of this city, but this re-
quest was turned down by the CON-
mission, and trains 13 and ID are still
being operated between Americas and
Savannah. 1t is now desired to sim
ply extend this daily service to Mont
gomery, restoring former service.
The fact that the Seaboard is now
doing very largely increased busi-
ness is highly gratifying, and this vol
ume Of traffic will be greatly increas-
ed when these through trasu eched
ules are resumed.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-British troops
in the vicinity of Loos continued today
battering away against the third Ger
man line, while the French are main
tanning their vigorous offensive in the
Champagne country Important pro-
gress has been made by both armies.
In the region of the forest of the
Argonne where the German launched
a counter offensive two days ago the
attacks have lost much of their vigor
and the Teutons have been unable to
make any headway against Gen. Joff
res army. No changes of magnitude
are shown as a result of today's fight
ing, but the continuous engagement
attaches Importance to the assertion
that the Allies offensive is not to be
relaxed until a more determined effort
to rout the Germans has been exc
cuted. The short breathing spell fol-
lowing the inauguration of offensive
operations has been followed by the
hardest pressure and the German po-
sitions weakened during the initial
engagements were today utterly shat
tered by the Allies infantry rushes.
Field Marshal Sir John French to
day telegraphed the Lord Mayor of
London thanking that official for his
message of good WILL the telegram be-
ing interpreted here to mean that no
halt in the Allies movement against
the Germans in Belgium and northern
France is in contemplation.
In the eastern theatre of operations
the tide of battle has not been so fav
orable to the Allies. Russian armies
in the south of Poland have agian re-
treated across the Stry and Lutzk has
fallen into the hands of the Austrians
after a sharp encounter during which
superior adtillery equipment enabled
the Teutons to force back the Cars
hosts. Heavy losses are said to have
been sustained by the Austrians dur
ing this engagement.
Further north in Courland and the
Baltic provinces, Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg has launched another.
great movement against the Russian
fortress Dvinsk, but the progress made
is unknown. The Russian censor de
clines to permit news from the Baltic
theatre of operations to pass, and
much secrecy surrounds troop move
ments in that region.
