Mrs. Lee heard or thought she heard

ity of affording a market for Other
crops than cotton. T. B. Hooks, fol
instance, has installed out on the Sea.
board Railroad on his farm a feed
mixing plant where he will soon be
putting out two or three brands OF
mixed feeds that will be the equal Of
any that can be found anywhere. He
has authorized us to say that he will
be in the market for all such crops as
corn, hay oats, velvet beans from
which he proposes to make the mixed
feeds according to the latest feed stan
dards thus affording market for such
crops to supply his demands.
Another instance of the business
mans interest is shown by a gentle
man who wishes his name withheld
for the present but guarantees that
he means to get going pretty soon an
establishment to be known as a Far
mer's Exchange. This will be place
where farmer can bring anything
that can be grown on the farm and find
a market price When this is done it
will not be necessary to have any more
preaching about diversifcation of
crops. The farmer will take care of
that if he can have central place
where he knows he can carry his pro-
ducts and realize the cash for them
the same as he can from cotton.
But these are not all, G. w. Riley of
the Farmers Cotton Oil Company has
us to state that his company
is Grady to pay the market price at all
times for peanuts from which he pro-
poses to make oil and peanut cake.
Peanuts at fifty cents per bushel will
afford as good cash crop for some of
our acres as cotton. The price on to-
days market is from sixty-five to sew
enty cents per bushel The little
Spanish peanut and the old fashioned
Georgia peanut are twoo good varieties
for this purpose, and on a small acre
age would be a good crop for this
year since Mr.. Riley assures us of q
market.

DECATUR COUNTY To
HAVE PACKING PLANT

CAMBRIDGE, Ga, Feb. 12.-Plans
for the completion of a modern pack
ing plant for southwest Georgia, are
being perfected. Those in close touch
with the situation state that the plant
will be ready for operation by Novem-
her first of this year.
Recently at meeting called by the
Board of Trade many prominent farm
ers and business men discussed the
coming of the boil weevil and hit on
the erection of packing plant of a
method of successfully fighting the
pest. A committee of twenty prom
trent citizens was appointed to push
the matter, Dr. ]. D. Chason, of this
city was appointed chairman, AMI
Quimby Melton, secretary.
This committee of twenty has adopt
ed prospectus that calls for plant
that will kill 500 hogs and rs head of
cattle a day. Such a plant will cost
i'll the neighborhood of $150,000. An
application for charter will be
sought in a few days. The capital
stock of the plant will be 100000 with
the privilege of increasing it to ST.
100000 later if necessary.
The committee in charge of the tenn
porary organization has been working
hard gathering information and max
ing preliminary arrangements. A
great amount of their work has nee
essarily been ION the quiet" but the
public will be given details shortly.
Interest is at a fever heat and it is
Believed it will be easy to raise the
capital stock among the business men
ard farmers of this section of the
state, cambridge, Decatur county,
and southwest Georgia will have a
modern packing plant ready for oper-
alton in the early fall.

To
Be Stopped
On Streets

ATLANTA, Feb. 12.-The suffra-
gettes of Atlanta, who are making a
fight to obtain the vote in municipal
elections, may be denied the right to
speak on the streets any more as the
result of the crowds obstructing traf-
fic on the first night the ladies tried to
talk politics in the open air from the
tonneaus of automobiles.
Under the Atlanta city ordinance on
the subject, the mayor has the right
to deny permit to speak on the streets
to any person he chooses, and no one
has a right to speak on the streets
without such a permit.
The suffragettes may follow the
example of the socialists and the Anti
Slaton crowds of last year, and dc
their speaking from the steps of the
capitol.

AMER|CUs SCHOOLS
ARE COMPL |MENT' D

DR.. ]. R. Statham received Saturday,
in answer to letter regarding the
entrance requirements to the Univers-
ity of Georgia, a letter from W. D.
Hooper, chairman of the Entrance
Examination Committee, highly COM
plimentary to the school system of
Americas and to the superintendent of
schools, Prof. ], E. Mathis.
Mr.. Hooper, in his letter, stated that
the High school of the city v a sranked
in the highest possible grade and that
the high curriculum of the school pro-
vided the students enough units to
enable the graduates to enter any col
lege in the state without examinations.
This rank is as high as even the
schools of Atlanta and the fact that
Americas enjoys equal rank with At
lanta in this respect is source Of
gratitude to the patrons of the Amerl-
Gus High school.
Mr.. Hooper stated in his letter that
he was confident Superintendent
Mathis would do all in his province to
help any young man of Americas in
the school-room and in later life. And
that he knew Mr.. Mathis was fully
qualified to prescribe any special
course of study to the young man not
able to pursue the regular academic
course.
This praise of the local schools and
especially from man who is in init
mate touch daily with every school in
the state, should be very much appre-
ciated by the citizens of Americas.

Preparing Reception For
The Visitor--M. Boil WeeuH

1t is recognized that large acreage
viii be put in cotton in this section this
year. Many feel that this is perhaps
the last year that cotton can be grown
here without damage from boil weevil,
ard regardless Of all preaching about
diversifcation of crops there will be a
large acreage to cotton this year. The
past history of the weevil shows tire
is danger in this sort of practice, par
ticulary if it is not definitely arrang-
ed to be sure that sufficient feed
stuffs are not grown this year for
next eyar's use. Farmers say that
they are goinug to be sure to do this,
it remains to be seen.
In some of the counties to the west
of us the farmers realize that this year
considerable damage will be done 10
teh cotton crop. The weevil owing to
the August gale last year, has caught
them not as nearly prepared for the
situation as they might have been. and
as consequence they are now having
to make all the adjustments at once.
With hurry there usually goes some
waste. We hope our neighbors may
be able to prevent this, yet there is
the danger.
So regardless of a big acreage to
cotton it is noticeable that the farmers
o. Sumter county are growing grazing
crops for hogs, and these crops are
arranged in fields so as to furnish
twelve months grazing rather than
two or three months in the fall of the
year. Crops for hogs is not ala
strenuous campaign is being waged to
control cholera, keep off lice and keep
out worms. Besides this many have
either put in cold storage rooms for
curing the meat or will do so before
another season When specifications
are followed these rooms will cure the
meat. If the meat is grown and cured
there will be corn for bread. With
meat and bread grown at home for
farm labor panic conditions are less
likely to occur and cotton can be
grown with boil weevil.
But our business men, for the most
