new RULES ARE
MADE FOR COTTON
SEED SHIPPERS

New orders just issued covering the
shipment of cotton seed, and designed
to prevent damage thereto, have just
been issued by the food administra-
ton. These new orders, which must
be executed by all concerned are as
follows:
In order to prevent further con-
gestion and to conserve the food and
feed value in cotton seed and prevent
the loss of same caused by damage
the cooperation of every dealer, gin
ner, shipper and producer in carrying
out the following orders is hereby re-
CURED:
ID Cottonseed dealers, ginners
and individuals are forbidden to load
cars before they have an order for
the carload of cottonseed.
20 Shippers of cottonseed are for
hidden to ship seed to any crusher or
dealer who has not ordered or Dough,
such seed from the shipper.
81 Ginners dealers and individu-
ais are forbidden to store or leave
cottonseed where they will be expos
ed to the weather, or to store them
in such manner as will result in loss
of food and feed value through heat
ing.
Complaints have come in from q
number of places that the ginners,
dealers and producers are continuing
to rush their seed to the market in
such manner as has already caused
mills who are unable to handle seed
to avoid loss in food and feed value
and a continuance of same will result
in further loss to the country of the
food and feed value of cottonseed, and
the lint for munition purposes, that
it so badly needed.
The publication of these orders in
the press of the State may be consid-
cred by the ginners and cottOnseed
dealers in the State of Georgia as of
fetal notice, and are effective imme-
diately.

THE Finding of Mary" is from the
pen of Hale Hamilton, of "Get-Rich-
Quick Wallingford" fame, the popular
player who appears opposite Miss AL
lison in THE Winning of Beatrice, .
and with Viola Dana in Opportunity. "
AS Mr. Hamilton wrote ''The Finding
Of Mary" while he was appearing on
the dramatic stage, he naturally wrote
it originally in play form, but before
he had an opportunity to produce it
he became identified with the screen
and changed it to suit the require
ments of the camera.

CHRYSANTHEMUM CLUB.

The Chrysanthemum club will meet
tomorrow afternoon at four O'Clock
with Mrs. Ernest Statham at her home
on Church street. The purpose OF
the meeting is to determine whether
the club shall abandon the annual
show on account of the prevalence of
influenza. The flowers are at the
height of beauty and freshness and
another week will show a diminution
of their glory. 1t will be distinct
loss to Americas to miss the show
which has given pleasure follower
loovers for several years, but it is
quite probable that in the interest OF
public health the members may de-
eide not to hold it this year.

WITHHOLD NAMES
Of BOND sLACKERS
SAYS COMMITTEE
ISSUE STATEMENT THAT MANY
CITIZENS WOULD BE DONE AN
NJUSTICE.-THINK THAT con-
SCIENCE Is ENOUGH PUNISH
MENT FOR THEM.

The committee which had charge
of the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign
for the Americas division of Sumter
County is very much gratified over the
final results of the campaign and every
member of the committee feels that
the patriotic people of Americas and
Sumter County as whole have once
more demonstrated to the world that
this county shall never appear in the
Stacker list. While it is true that
there are some individual slackers in
the city and county, the determination
and liberality of the loyal ones has
always been sufficient to overcome
the Stacker element.
The committee had determined to
publish the names of all subscriptions
to the Fourth Liberty Loan, giving in
formation as to the amount subscrib-
ed, etc., but in view of the fact that
many Americas and Sumter County
people found it niece ,sary to place
their subscriptions through other
channels than the local banks, ii has
not been possible to compile an absO
lutely authentic list of subscribers
here; therefore, it has been decided
by the committee that in the publica-
ton of such list the names of many
loyal citizens who have subscribed lib
orally would not appear AS an illus
tration, the situation as regards a
large number of railroad employees
here may be cited. The employees OF
the Seaboard Air Line and Central of
Georfia railways who make Ameri-
Gus their headquarters have always
responded literally to every call made
by the Government and recently sub
scribed over $4,000 to the Fourth
Liberty Loan; however, practically all
of these subscriptions are handled
through the home offices of the rail
roads and by them are credited to the
Sumter County quota
While the publication of an Honor
Roll giving list of subscribers might
grove interesting, the committee feels
that those who did not subscribe in
keepipg with their means will find
their conscience whip of sufficient
punishment without the necessity OF
further publicity.

REPORTS OF MARKETS C0TTON--GRAIN-LIVESTOCE.

Active positions sold from l35 to l4S points above last nights close, equal to about $6 to S7 bale and more and representing practically S15 bale advance since Thursday morn ing.
 The market opened strong and 31 to 79 points higher with the except ion of August which opened 20 points lower and advanced with little react ion throughout the entire session.
 Heavy western, Liverpool, southern and spot house buying were features of the upturn, the short interest show ing good deal of alarm over the character of weather news as well as the very favorable reports concern ing the progress of the Allies and a cable stating that Lancanshire cotton mills are to be permitted to run more hours weekly and to use increased machinery.
 Most of the short scare, however, was attributed to the very unfavor able news including an entire absence of rain in the southwest and very heavy rains throughout the eastern belt
 The market showed only slight re- actions in the final hour and closed strong with the entire list from 65 to 133 points net higher. Fall river sales of print cloths for the week were 100000 pieces against 12O,OOO last year and curtailment 12O,OoO compared with 30O,Ooo year ago.
