WILSON IS
ASSURED
BEST ERA
IS COMING

WASHINGTON Nov 14-The Unit
ed States is facing a periood oof pos
sibly the greatest prosperity in it's
historOy.
That is the opinion conveyed to the
White House by the Big business men
who have been shaping the national
war policy. The first few weeks will
be the hardest, according to these
men. during which time industry will
be compelled to readjust itself to new
conditions brought about by the sud
den ending of the war Afterward,
they say, there will be work for every
man. woman and child now working,
as well as for the millions of soldiers
and sailors who soon will be return
ing to private life.
These men, who speak authoratively,
point out that enormous construction
programs have been delayed for near
ly two years on account of war nee
essities having first place, and that
now these will all go forward. The
shipping program will open the mar
ket of South America to this country
on the lines planned three years ago
They declaEe there is hardly
single factoB in the United States,
eveen those erected especially for
war work, . pat cannot easily be con-
verted to peace time basis.
A number ofpusiness men who have
conferred with the president recently
say that tn country is in better po-
sition to expand than any nation ever
was before in the history of the
world The Federal reserve system
will check unwarranted imitation and
stabilize business generally.
The War Industries and War Ex-
port boards will be made into peace
time organization. There is a grow
ing sentiment to have the war labor
board continued and given increased
powers, and there is some indication
that II may be used as nucleus for
the creatioon of a supreme court for
labor.

NEGROES BEH|ND
IN FUND QUOTA;
PLAN MEETINGS

A concerted effort to put the ne
groes of Sumter county over the top
with their quota in the United War
Work Fund campaign is to be made
next Sunday, according to plans now
being formulated under the direction
of Judge r. L. Maynard, chairman of
the campaign for the county.
The drive for funds has been COM
pleted in the city, with the quota
more than reached, and in the county
the white population will complete
their drive by Saturday. The work of
organization abong the negroes, how
ever, has not been up to expectations,
and it is planned to hold meetings
Sunday in every one Of the nine dis
tricts of the county for the purpose
of interesting the col0red citizens in
the movement and receiving contri-
buttons 1t is not doubted that with
small amount of explaining of the
purposes of the campaign the colored
people will meet their quota easily. A
number Of Americus citizens will
make the trip to the country districts
to address the colored meetings.
Final reports on the drive in the
27th district, which includes the city
of Americus, shows that S11,8S9.45
has been raised, this including the
contributions by the school children
and negroes. The last figures from
the entire county give total of s16,-
900.
Judge Maynard has received a tele-
gram from Ely r. Galloway. state
ehairman, eongratulating Sumter
Icounty on going over the top, and
stating that Georgia continues to lead
the entire south in the drive.

to arrange to provide for the large
number of troops who will probably
be kept abroad for some time, and f.

Mr.. Crisp is optimistic regarding the
prospects for harmony in congress

BODY CAuGH1
IN MACHINERY;
TORN TO BITS

]. w. Adams, aged sixty years, and
miller at Councils. mill for the last
year, met death in the machinery of
the mill late yesterday afternoon
The accident occurred while the
aged miller was alone in the build
ing, and his body was not found un-
til sometime afterwards. The first
person TO learn OF the affair was a
negro, who entering the mill building
to have some corn ground, saw the
body of Mr. Adams lying upon the
floor, badly mangled. Becoming
frightened at the sight, the negro
ran from the building and told others
of his discovery. Shortly afterward
Mrs, Adams, who lives near the mill,
came into the building and succeeded
in shuttingsnff the power I'M doing
that ait way necessary for her TO pass
the mangled remains of her husband
How the accident occurred is i'm
known. as the shaft upon which Ad-
ans was caught and literally beaten
to death was perfectly round, with
no projecting part of any description.
1t is believed that some part Of his
clothing, being torn, became entang-
led in the machinery when he attempt
ed to shut off the power after grind
ing some corn, and that he was quick
ly killed, being hurled with great
force against the solid walls of the
mill building.
When found parts of the body were
scattered about the room. The re-
mains we're brought to the establish
ment of the Americus Undertaking
Co. and prepared for burial by Nat
LeMaster. They were sent this af-
ternoon to Leverettes Station, in
Schley county, for burial.
Mr.. Adams came to Americus about
a year ago from Leyerette's Station.
and had since been miller at the
plant where he was killed. He is
survived by his wife, who made her
home with him at the mill; one
daughter, Mrs ]. w. Goss, Of Lever
cites Station, and one sister, Mrs. l..

pears almost to have put the blind
tiger. the auto speeder and the loafiug
negro out of business in the city. A
comparison of the reports made By
Chief Johnson for the months of July

three divisions and $1.450 less fines
assessed.
The July resort showed cases made
as follows, 26 lettering, 40 arto Law vi

fines for July totalled s1,S64. and for
October $414.50.
One of the immediate results of the
crusade against loiterers has been to
drive the shiftless negro to the cot
ton field or some other useful form Of
occupation.
