ISRAEL DELIGHTS
IN SUCCESS WITH
HIS CURING PLANT

The complete success of cold stor-
age houses for curing meats has been
attested by G. w. Israel, Jr., a pros
porous farmer of the Seventeenth dis
tlict.
Mr.. Israel was in Americas today
and with enthusiastic zeal told of the
success of the arrangement which was
recommended by the national depart
ment of agriculture. He was interest
ed in the construction of his curing
house by County Demonstration J. G.
Oliver, who is delighted with the sue
cess.
Mr.. Israel killed forty hogs at his
first slaughter and in few days kill.
ed seventeen more. After three weeks
an examination shows that the curing
process is successful, and that Sum-
ter county can have home-cured, fresh
meat instead Of going to the western
markets.
The cold storage plant was Guilt at a
cost of about $4,000, and in view of its
splendid success, the cost is mini
mum.
There are at least eight similar
plants which have been or are being
constructed, which proves the interest
created in this feature of farm work in
Sumter county recently.

SAM D. FULLER IS
DEAD FROM Gun
SHOT ON SATURDAY

Mr.. Samuel d. Fuller, who was ac-
cidentally shot Saturday afternoon at
Reca, small station near Savannah,
while out hunting with a friend, died
at noon Wednesday from the ill7effects
Of the gunshot wound.
Mr.. Fuller was 25 years of age, and
had been a conductor with the Sea-
board Air Line railway for seven years.
For good while he has made his
headquarters in Americus, being at the
home of Mrs. Hollis Hurley.
During his residence in the city he
made many acquaintances who are
grieved to learn of his death. He was
a man of excellent habits and widely
known and loved in railroad circles.
MIR. Fuller is survived by his par
ents, Rev. and Mrs. o. d. Fuller, of
Abbeville, and three brothers and sis
ters.
The remains were brought from Sa-
vannah Wednesday afternoon, arriving
at his home in Abbeville, Wednesday
night. The funeral services and inter
ment will be held at Abbeville Thurs
day morning.
Since the accident Saturday after
noon much fear had been entertained
for the life of Mr. Fuller, because of
the serious wound. He was operated
on Monday and during Tuesday re-
gained consciousness, but slowly the
seriousness of the wound began to sap
lis life, and many friends are sorry to
learn of his death.

Becomes
Factor in The
Election

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 5.-The negro
has again become political factor in
Atlanta. Many of them voted in the
recall election, and their votes and
influence were sought both by the re-
call and the anti-recall campaigners.
The negroes did not constitute any
thing like a balance of power, but
were enough of them to make their
votes interesting.
The first appearance of the negro
on the scene in the present purely To-
cal fight was when it was discovered
that many of the citizens who had
signed the recall petition We're negroes
Subsequently other negroes became
active against the recall, and then a
split occurred similar to that which
divided white voters. Influential ne.
gro business men, including the editor
of the negro paper, '"Tlhe Independent -
worked hard against the recall, while
many negro preachers and others de-
Tended it with equal warmth.

Cambridge Is
Kicking For
MedS In Arny

CAMBRIDGE. England, Jan. s.
Cambridge has poured her wealth OF
young manhood into the British army
and navy without stint, and with the
exception of the medical school, the
various colleges of the university are
only being continued so that thous-
and year old record may not be brok-
en-.
And now the integrity of the med =
ical school is being threatened by the
Lord Derby recruiting plan, but the
authorities of the university will make
a bitter fight before they consent to
this college being denuded of it's stud
ents.
The fight is being led by Doctor
Arthur Everett Shipley, who is we'll
known in the United States where he
holds a Princeton degree, and where
ite spends much of the time that he
can spare from his duties as master
of Christ College. Discussing the ef-
forts to attract recruits from the stu
Gent body of the Cambridge medical
school, DR.. Shipley said to a CORES
pendent of The Associated Press:
eve must not only continue to sup
ply the army with surgeons and doc
tors, but we must never lose sight of
the necessity of a careful conserva-
ton of our civilized population. Eng
land is already short of odctors, and
since it is by no means impossible
that a great epidemic might succeed
this war, it can be seen that, instead
Of urging medical students to enlist,
every effort should be made to keep
them at their studies"
No action has yet been taken by
the recruiting department on the pro-
test of the Cambridge authorities.

ton of Mr.. Thos. J. Locke, Jr., of this
city, sample bale of Johnson grass
was sent to Messrs. Sandbach Parker
and Co., of Demara, British Guiana
s. A., with the request that they
show it to their customers, calling at
tention to the difference in cost OF
johnson grass and Timothy, and
suggesting that car of johnson
grass be ordered to test its relative
feeding value. A copy of Prof
Lloyd's brief on the relative feedine
values of the different hays was alsc
sent them. Mr.. Carter has just re
ceived the following letter in answer
