the residence section and the erection
OF public buildings such as the post

ing and the numerous beautiful resi-
dences. Another thing worthy of men
ton and a credit to Americas or any
other city in the South, is the Windsor
hotel, costing over 100000 and its
splendid service.
I consider the morals of Americas
above the average town OF like size,
and as to the people here, will say l
have never met a more cordial or hos
pitable people anywhere. l am well
pleased with my new abode and would
advise those who may be interested
in the selection of home, where they
may spend their lives amid agreeable
conditions of climate, health and So
cial surroundings and where the fruits
Of their labor may be most abundant,
to locate in Americas, Sumter county,

Gentlemen: Greely's advice to the
young man was GO West" Champ
Clark said, Go South, young man, go
South" but the latest revision is:
Young man, go to Sumter County,
Georgia" 1t was not the advice of
that able statesman and national fig
ure, Champ Clark, that caused me to
leave my "Old Kentucky Home" some
four years ago and cast my lot with
the good people of this section of the
South, but it was the fame of her ex-
cellent climate and the cheapness of
her farm lands that attracted nv at

as inches high, one stalk every three
feet. A person should be guided by
the same factors that he would be in
the spacing of the rows.
Cotton should be gathered as rapidly
as it opens, just so it is not green and
damp. The lint is much prettier
and the price is considerably influence
ed by this factor.
After it has been gathered it should
be carefully housed in dry place, be-
ing careful not to allow it to pass
through a heat for the fiber is weak
ened thereby and the price of the sta
pie lowered in consequence.
It is well to allow the cotton to re-
main housed for some time before
ginning as the lint seems to be strong
err and longer when so cared for.

in my opinion, no section offers better
advantages and opportunities than
those of Sumter County, Georgia, all
thini s being considered. The lands
in most states, Kentucky, for instance,
where farm lands average around 500
per acre. are so high the farmer can
not realize a reasonable interest on
his investment, and the man of mod
crate means is not able to pay the
high price for it.
While there has been a considerable
advance in the price of farm lands in
this section since my locating here,
consider them very reasonable at the
present price, and in my opinion, they
will continue to enhance in value. 1t
is natural to believe that lands which
respond to proper farming and in a
climate which will permit as many as
three crops to grow year on the same
land. will continue to advance in price.
In my opinion we need more small
white farmers who will diversity their
crops and devote more attention to
etocl raising If this is done the far

list in this section of the South.
l have observed with interest the
rapid progress with which the fine
highways have been constructed
throughout this county. In riding over
these fine roads, l can hardly realize
they are the same rough, narrow and
crooked roads to be seen in this sec
ton only two or three years ago. The
roads in this county are now superior
to the Kentucky pixies.
Before closing my letter, wish to
mention the great Improvement and
progress in the city of Amerious since
my residence here. Those of most
Importance are the paving of the busi-
ness streets, the twelve miles of new
sewerage, the $4,000 expended in the
betterment and extension of the water
works, the fine sidewalks throughout

the same time have his farm double

change in the farming in this section

native farmers and those locating in
this section are exchanging new ideas
with each other.
1t is the opinion of those not famil-
lar with this section that it is very low
and sickly, but this is a mistaken idea,
as there is a natural drainage and the
health is excellent The writer has
had splendid health, he having had to
take only one dose of medicine during
his four years of abode here The
pure artesian water found here ac-
counts largely, presume, for the good
health of this section. The splendid
climate nthis section is also to be
emphasized, although those who have
always lived here do not appreciate
this good feature as they should. l

The amount OF tax voluntarily paid

was approximately s26,300,000. Field
Investigators checking the returns

amount was far below the sum actu-

the methods said to have been used
in returning minimum taxes was to
