THE DISTRICT FAIR.

A body of enterprising and promin-
ent citizens joined Thursday in a
City-wide movement as Roundup
Day" for the Third Agricultural Dis
trict Fair. They rounded up the sub
scriptions for the enterprise which as
sures it's success. The movement
plainly demonstrated the wonderful
work which can be accomplished by a
systematic and persistent-united eff
fort in a common cause for the best
interest of city, county and state.
The merits of the Third Agricultural
District Fair are undenied. The results
to be accomplished are assured. 1t
only remains for Americas and Sumter
county to display the same keen in
terest in the fair which eighteen other
counties in the agricultural district
have done.
Columns after columns Of publicity
matter have appeared in the newspa-
pers of the state about the Third Ag
ricultural District Fair to be held in
Americas, Sumter county, Georgia, in
October That helps-it pays to ad-
vertise.
The people who subscribed to the
stock in the fair did not throw away
their money. They did not give in the
sense which common actions bespeaks.
Although the dividends which the
stockholders will possibly draw on
their stock may be insignificant Off the
first year, the wonderful dividends
which they will draw on the advertis-
ing will be great.
Theer is certain to be a fair, and it
remains for every good and boosting
citizen of this county and district to
assure its success.
Say good word for the fair.

WILSON-THE MAN.

Has the average reader of the news
coming from the scenes of the Ameri-
can-Mexican border where United
States troops have crossed, stopped to
consider the wonderful action display
ed by Woodrow Wilson, as president of
the United States, when he ordered the
expedition one week ago today.
Not as some people with authority
would have done-he exercised it only
to the limit which common sense die =.
tated. President Wilson decided the
grave question and gave the order to
capture Villa dead or alive" After
tlose words which will forever form
pages in history, he turned the entire
affair over to the officials whose bust
ness it is to handle such affairs. 1t
became the duty of the general staff
and the war department to map out all
.,lans for the expedition.
Official Washington wisely placed
the campaign in the hands of Major
General Fred Funston, whose ability TO
cope with such situations, is we'll
known. They did not hamper him
with volumes of orders from Washing
ton. The war department told him
that his orders were to proceed into
Mexico and capture Villa-the means
whereby this could be done would be
provided on his orders.
Truly, it's a business and business
sense was demonstrated. When there
Is trouble in the air, people want office
ers versed in their own school of af.
fairs to handle these matters-and not
kid-gloved politicians, who do not
know the difference between a AZ CEN
timetre gun and a Mexican hot tomato.
Wilson is in the chair-his hand
guides the destiny of our nation, leav
ing the result always in keeping with
the highest ideals of American patro-
tism and duty.

BATTLE OF VERDUN.

If the news dispatches emanating
from both sides of the conflict are to be
taken as fairly accurate, the Germans
have made miserable failure of their
dive for Verdun. They have accom-
plished nothing in the way of perman-
ent advantage.
If the ultimate result of the battle
becomes no more definite in the matter
Of German victory than il is today,
then the drive on verdun will go down
in history as one of the monumental
struggles for the war and ranking next
in its failure to the drive towards Par
is in the early stages of the war.
The French have prepared them
selves for the worst in every battle.
They were better prepared for the war
than any nation, although not so much
SO as the Germans. If it had not been
the spontaneous and quick action of
the French in the early days of the
war the entire Belgium and French
coast would be in the hands of the
Teutons, and Great Britain would be
sorely menaced.
The exploits of the French have been
extraordinary. They have won the
plaudits of the entire world. and next
to the heroic soldier of Belgium, will
receive the highest praise in the his
tory of the war as written.
The Verdun drive has every tendency
towards failure, the new day dawns for
.he success of the allies.

THE TIN CAN MENACE.

Who would have thought that the
tin can is a menace to the public
health?
The expert malaria Investigators of
the U. S. Public Health Service have
found, however, that discarded tin
cans containing rain water are breed
ing places for the mosquito which IS
the sole agent in spreading malaria. A
hole in the bottom of the empty can
might have resulted in the saving of a
human life. Certainly it would have
assisted in preventing facilitating i'll,
ness. Empty tin cans have no business
about the premises anyway, but if we
must so decorate our back yards, let's
see to it that the can has hole in the
bottom.

TO PUT FREIGHT
 UNCLAIMED INTO OUTSIDE STORAGE
RaiIroad Will Get Shipments
 Of Property to Expedite
 Deliveries.

The New England accumulation 5oint conference at New York heard today that unclaimed and rejected freight to the extent of 250 tons, has been the cause of less than carload lot congestion in this city.
 Vice President James c. Humphries of the Boston & Albany Railroad, in vestigator for the conference. has been In Bridgeport for several days mak- ing inquiry into actual conditions here.
 He made arrangements whereby the large mass Of freight that has accumu- lated on the floors of the local railroad wareh houses will be stored outside of railroad property and orders will be issued to- the New Haven road 1ike-a wise to store all unclain1ed or rejected shipments after six days notifca ton.
 The inquiry has shown that carload lot shipments are being delivered rap idly and with the action now taken on less than carload lots the situation should rapidly clear up here. Tn fact. 1t is Indicated urfofncia11y that all specifically local embargoes may be removed from Bridgeport early next week. MT. Humphries left for New York city last night.
 At the Chamber of Commerce of fees it is reported that the recent embargoes on Bridgeport have not been felt to any great extent in enis city and that no serious complaint from manufacturers or merchants has been lodged with that body by reason of the railroads ruling.
 Harry H. DeIoss. president Of the Handy & Harmon Co, has been ap- pointed chairman of the new educa- tionaI committee of the Chamber of Commerce which is soon expected to take some radical steps in the matter of provocational education for foreign speaking residents and others.

Rentpayers Become Home Owners as Result of New
 England Co.'s. Campaign

The rent payers of Bridgeport are seeking investment in land and houses to get away from the payment of rent and the increased rents now existing in Bridgeport One real estate con- cern whose operations have extended over 35 cities, and who have done mil lions aof dollars worth of business in the last 20 years became large inves- tors in this city during theg last 15 days and had the courage to spend thousands of dollars in advertising the merits Of Bridgeport and bringing the wage searner face to face with the necessity of buying land some day to build a home. It only goes to prove that if you have got anything and want to sell it yoN have got to adver-. Not in some corner of the paper with hardly any expense but in nagnani- nous way, using plenty of printers ink and plenty of space to bring to the sight of the readers of this paper that there is such a thing existing and that. such a bargain is present and you must advertise and claim their atten- tion, and if we had considerable more of corporations or real estate com panies along the lines of the New Eng land Development company we would have 30 per cent of the people of Bridgeport buying homes or lots or plots that lie vacant and dormant in the city of Bridgeport.
 There never was time in the his- tory of this city when the time has been so opportune as a field of invest ment than 1t is at the present time, and the most imprudent business man with keen foresight realizes that Bridgeport real estate must go ahead, 1t cannot go back and there is not a lot or plot within the limits of this city but what can be increased from 25 to 50 per cent, and yet. not be as high in values as cities of less 1mpor- tance, whose manufacturing interests, banking interests and business inter- ests are in any way unequal to the tcty of Bridgeport so therefore there should be no hesitancy in residents of this city investing in their own home, instead of placing their money else- where in channels that cannot receive their personal attention.
 We believe from casual observa- ation that there is 800 acres of land within the limits of the city of Bridge port that has been undeveloped, and upon which there should be homes, providing for at least 9, 900 to 30,000 people who are today crying for places Co live in, places to buy, and places to invest In, and we hope that before the nIoso ef the summer season greater
