Forsyth street and Windsor avenue. is
now one of the most frequented in
the city

no end to it. Sumter county is an
automobilist's paradise through the
fact not only of its goods roads, but
because of an average of three hun
dred days in the year affording excel
lent opportunity to use a car to adj
vantage. An automobile is here the
daily means of transportation twelve
months in the year, there being no

expect a constantly increasing num-
Der of winter visitors of this class.
Stop-over privileges have already
been granted to Americas in this con-
nection, and from the cordial recep-
ton given to its request by the rail
road officials there is reason to ex-
pect that it will become an advertised
tourist point in the near future. One
great factor in producing this result
is the Windsor Hotel, recognized as
one of the best equipped and best
hotels of the state, an illus
tration of which appears on another
page. This hotel has been entirely

there are sights pleasing to the Wis

Socially speaking, life in Americas
leaves little to be desired
A warm-hearted, hospitable. demo-
cratic people, possessed of culture
and enjoying the advantages that
come with condition of general
prosperity, they have for years given
to Americas an enviable reputation
for congenial, wholesome, social life.
Nowhere, in all likelihood, is there
a more general commingling of the
people in social functions. Charac-
ter and refinement are the open Sc
sames.
The agencies for social enjoyment
have very much expanded in recent
years, owing to the wider diffusion
of wealth and the increasing means
for enjoyment of material blessings.
Five years ago there were but one
hundred automobiles in Americas
Today there are over thousand So
numerous and so classy" are the
cars that Americas has won recogni-
ton as the automobile centre of
Southwest Georgia. 1t is claimed that
the percentage of cars here to the
white population is greater than in
any other Georgia city. And their
number is steadily increasing.
Good roads such as radiate in all
directions from the city. have, Of

in the development of the automobile

SAYS RISK IS EXAGGERATED
Official Of Explosive Factory Denies
That Occupation Is as Danger
GUS as Is Generally Believed.

In a paper read before a medical
association In the east, DR.. w. G. Hud-
son, medical director of E. /. DUPONT
de Nemours & Co., manufacturers OF
explosives, recently made some In
teresting statements concerning the
risks connected with the manufacture
Of powerful explosives. He asserted
that the dangers of that industry were
greatly exaggerated. AS a matter OF
fact, railroading shows much higher
injury and death rates than the manu-
facture Of explosives. OF the acci'
dents which occur in explosive fac
tories only small percentage are ac-
tually caused by explosives. Four
fifths Of the accidents are due to care
lessness or negligence Of employees
who disregard the precautions neces'
sary wherever men are working with
tools and machinery. By increasing
the share Of work done by machinery
and reducing the number Of workers
in proportion to the increased use OF
mechanical appliances, the manufac-
turers of explosives are striving to
diminish the hazards connected with
their business, says Popular Science
Monthly.

BARGE Whistle Calls Birds.

A striking example Of wildbird In
telligence has been observed on the
Panama canal In connection with the
underwater blasting that Is carried on
there. A barge has been especially
equipped for drilling blast holes below
the water and depositing charges In
them. When blast is ready the craft
moves off to a safe distance. and be-
fore setting off the dynamite the barge
whistle Is blown several times to warn
all vessels In the vicinity. Instantly
numbers Of wild birds may be seen
coming from all directions, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. the reason
being they have learned that many
dead and stunned fish rise to the sur
face of the water following each ex-
plosion. To them this particular
whistle Is like a dinner gong. More
remarkable still, they readily distin-
guish between this whistle and others.
Canal workmen and natives also share
in the harvest.

Why He Would Not Build.

1t is in a Jewish legend that Methu-
selah declined at the age of six hun
dred or so to go to the trouble of build
ing house because the Lord answered
his question as to how much longer
he had to live, and the patriarch de-
cided that three hundred years was
too short a time to warrant him in
making the exertion. Undoubtedly
Methuselah preferred his tent and was
ready to grasp at any excuse for stick
ing to 1t.

NAVY EVER ON THE ALERT
Case Of Carelessness at Sea Is Thing
That Commanders Punish With
Necessary Severity.

With not light showing the trans
ports plowed the Atlantic, bringing
American soldiers to France, writes a
naval officer In the Saturday Evening
Post. LoOkouts high and low, under
navy discipline, searched the seas for
hostile periscOpes. The convoy, the
apex Of which was big cruiser, was
Invisible in the black night. The Wig
ilance of the navy training protected
the soldiers, sleeping with their life
belts on.
Suddenly out shot bright light on
the leading TRANSPORT; a merchant sail
or, one Jesus Fernandez Mendoza, a
Spanish fireman, flashed an electric
torch, fumbling about the deck. The
light could be seen for miles. Instant
ly a navy lookout reported the occur
renee to the navy officer in charge OF
the ship. A sharp command, scuf-
fle on deck, a bluejacket kicking the
torch overheard stayed the Spaniard's
desire to fOndle an electric fiashlight
In the submarine zone. Five days SOL
itary confinement ended the lesson.
Showing a light on a man-o'-war at
night In time of war is court-martial
offense; even lighting cigarette or
having matches. The navy command
er, in absolute charge, enforces mill
tary discipline on a merchant vessel
carrying troops and Furnishes the
guilty.
Because of the navy, criminal care
lessness and conduct involving the
safety of thousands Of men came to
naught and possible catastrophe was
averted. The navy was in command.
