To BUY HOGS AND
MARKET PRODUCE
IN THIS SECTION

Two heavy licks at the boil weevil in
o day, is not bad for Americas and
Sumter county--but that's it.
The announcement is made that
George Adams and Grey Tillman, with
the ice plant in this city, are ready to
buy at market prices, dressed and un-
dressed hogs. For the dressed, these
gentlemen say that they will give the
best price that the market demands,
and for the undressed they promise
the same good service.
The feature Of the value of the en-
terprise of the two prominent Ameri-
Gus young men is that they will buy
from one hog to car load and more
lots. Their connections in disposing
of the meats allow magnificent new
market for Americus.
Pens are being constructed for the
undressed hogs which may be bought,
and excellent facilities have been pro.
yided by Messrs. Adams and Tillman
for their new business.
So the farmers of Sumter county see
the living evidence of what the busi-
ness men are doing to help them meet
the boil weevil situation, and the far
mers can only do their part.
At the post0ffice.
The Americus postoffice announces
the planning of market for home
products, and this feature will prove
very attractive.
Postmaster d. F. Davenport has AL
ready arranged marketing plan, go
ing hand in hand with parcel post de-
livery, and it attracted attention
throughout the nation, especially
among large farm journals.
The following statement was made
by Postmaster Davenport today, which
deserves the consideration and imme-
diate attention Of the people:
In view of the spreading of the boil
weevil into this section. it is consid.
cred of vast Importance that local
business men, bankers and farmers all
join hands in locating buyers for any
produce that Sumter county mas to
offer.
The plan is so well thought of that
columns have been written about it
approving the method in such old
journals as the Country Gentleman,
The Manufacturers Record and 9TH
ers.
Call at the Americas postoffice and

UNCLE SAM SEARCH
FOR ENEMY BASE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 1S.-
Admiral Mayo, commanding the Allan
tic fleet, notified the navy department.
today that he had ordered a survey
of the whole New England coast to in
vestigate reports that an unnamed bell
ligerent ship had established its base
there, and that wireless plants are be-
ing operated there in violation of
American neutrality.
Secretary Daniels, before whom the
report was laid this morning, imme-
diately approved the plan, and every
assistance will be given Admiral Mayo
in the effort to complete the survey,
which is to be made unusually thor
ough, in view of recent submarine OPP
erations in these waters.
In announcing Admiral Mayo's ac-
ton Secretary Daniels stated several
destroyers had already been dispatched
from Newport northward. Naval au-
thorities, however, placed little cre-
dence in the reports that neutrality
violations are being practiced by the
belligerents in the United States.

POLICE WARN ABOUT
AN NT|-SPITT|NG LAW

Chief Olin Johnson, of the police de-
partment, requested the Times-Re-
corder to remind the people of this
city that an anti-spitting ordinance is
on the law books of the city, and that
the statute will be strictly enforced
Under orders to the policemen. Moth
ing is worse in city than dirt, and
by this little thoughtfulness the city
can be made one of cleanliness. In
view of the warning given the people
on the subject, it is expected that the
recorders court will have no leniency
on those who are hailed into court for
violation of the anti-spitting law.
The crusade is on, and together
with speeders, they might as well be
mindful of the arm of the law.
Alderman Horton mentioned the
anti-spitting ordinance at the last
meeting of the city council and urged
its obeyance

SENTENCE
5TABB|NG T.BOSH

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 13.-G. K. Va
son, doorkeeper of the Georgia house
of representatives who was convicted
yesterday of stabbing Thomas r. Eel
der, was today sentenced in Superior
court to serve one year in the chain
gang, six months in Jail and to pay a
fine of one thousand dollars.
Vason was arrested following an at
tack on Fielder in hallway of the
Kimball House, the allegation being
set up that the difficulty was the re-
suit of political differences. Fielder
was for time thought to have been
dangerously injured, but subsequently
recovered. The case attracted much
attention because of its political as
pect, much interest being eyinced in
tie trial of Vason.
Judge Hill, in imposing sentence
upon Vason stated the jury in return
ing a verdict of guilty of stabbing"
showed leniency of unusual degree,
and the court, therefore, imposed the
maximum punishment allowed under
the statute for this offense 1t is
probable the case will be appealed.

CRUISERS HANGING
OFF THE us. COAST

BOSTON, Oct. 13.-A fleet of for
eign cruisers and destroyers were
stationed off the American coast out
side the three-mile limit last night, ac-
cording to Capt. Linderoos, of the
Russian steamer Hesperus, which ar
rived at daylight from Huelva Spain.
The skipper of the Hesperus told
the harbor pilots bringing his vessel
up the bay that number of these
warships passed him off Cape Sable
Wednesday, headed southwest in the
direction of New York. Waterfront
authorities here express the opinion
that the warships are British destroy
ers sent to these waters to convoy
merchantmen, as precaution
against further submarine raids on
shipping in American waters.
