Clerk ]. A. Pinkston, of the Sum-
ter county board of commissioners,
has forwarded to Secretary of State
Phil Cook the report of mileage for
Sumter county in order that the coun-
ty may receive their pro rata share of
the road fund secured by tile automo-
bile license tags.
The report showed that Sumter had
.312 miles of public road in 1915, and
spent $5S,9O71S on her roads. Only
266 cars were returned for taxation in
1915 as against 366 up to May 1st, 1916
The people of the county are delight
ed that Sumter is obeying the new lie
eDse tag law and will receive her
part of the fund without a legal con-
test.

CROPS PROMISING
IN THIS SECTION

Despite the dry weather and ex-
IRENE lack Of moisture in the earth
crops around Americas are PROMISING.
Cotton while small, in most places a
good stand has been secured and are
clean and in a condition for rapid
growth when the rain comes. Corn is
likewise small, but notwithstanding the
lang dry spell, is still green and
thrifty and if the rain comes any
time soon will not have suffered to any
great extent from lack of moisture.
The farmers have diligently applied
themselves during the time so favora-
BILE to the cultivation of their crops, so
that as a rule they are all in fine con-
dition, clear of grass and ready to well
come the rain when it shall have
come.
The farmers are harvesting their
oats and while the crop is not abund-
ant still the yield is fair and they
are being harvested in fine shape
Other and minor crops, such as wheat.
Iaftermelons, peanuts, ETC., are in as
good conditions as could be expected
considering the dry weather.
Sumter boasts of some as fine farms
as the country affords, and her farm
ers are among the very BEST hence,
no matter what the conditions are,
crops here are always the equal if
lot the best of any to be found.

IDEAS of Judge Speer's receivership and
ordered the receivers appointed by
Judge Speer to turn over the estate
t., the temporary administrators ap-
pointed by the ordinary of Oglethorpe
county.
The effect of this order was to re-
r,oye the estate from the jurisdiction
Of the United States district court for
the Southern district of Georgia, over
which Judge Speer presides, and re-
store it to the jurisdiction of the
Georgia courts, where the litigation
originated.
The order of the court of appeals is
effective pending a full hearing of the
case at the regular term of the court
of appeals next fall. In other words,
it is similar in effect to a temporary
restraining order issued by the judge
oi a superior court.

ATLANTA, Ca, May 13.-The decis-

of apeals setting aside Judge Emory
Speer's rece.vership of the multi-mil-
lionaire James A. Smiths estate, which
decision was rendered Friday, came as
complete surprise to all the lawyers

Judge Speer's receivership to be set
aside, were not hopeful of securing a
decision favorable to their side of the
case. Atlanta newspapers, interpret

VETERANS AND THE
VISITORS TO LEAVE
FOR THE REUNIONS

On next Tuesday the United Confed-
crate Veterans Association will meet
in Birmingham, Ala. This may be the
last reunion of the Confederate forces
that battled four years in behalf OF
the South. The opinion is very strong
ly expressed among those in close
touch with the situation and the senti-
ment prevailing among the old fight
ers, that this is the last time they will
ever try and get together as body.
No pronouncement comes from
headquarters in regard to the general
policy of the commander on this vital
subject, but it is expected the matter
will come up for consideration at the
approaching session and it is expected
motion will be made to abolish the
annual gathering of the old veterans.
|
The reason for this is that a great
many of the old soldiers are in too
feeble a condition to permit of their
travelling so far as some have to in
order to reach these conventions, be-
sides the members are growing so
| few, and further that the veterans
themselves had grown weary of having
to attend and the failure of allied org
anizations to live up to their part of
tie annual meetings.
The meeting this year will be a
memorable one. Large numbers will
attend from all over the South. A
splendid program has been arranged
for the entertainment of the heroes of
the sixties. Americas will be we'll
represented, both by the Confederate
veterans and the Sons of Veterans as
well as the Daughters of the Confed
eracy.
1t is not known exactly how many
will attend, Camp Sumter however,
will in all probability attend as
whole, Gen. H. T. Davenport, Com
mander Of Georgia division, will head
the delegation from this city. Among
those who will attend from here so
far as is known are:
Mrs. Frank Harold, matron of
honor; Mrs. c. o. Niles, chaperon, Miss
