wheat ever grown in this district. On
two acres the yield was exceptional,
much Of the grain measuring from 5
to 6 feet in height, every kernel being
fully matured. The variety is Jones

this climate. Mr.. Ross makes a con-

AMER|CUS SEEKS
EASTERN TIME

A movement has been started
through the Americas and Sumte,'
County Chamber of Commerce to
have Americas and Sumter county
changed from Central to Eastern time
through a modification of the new
interstate commerce zone SYSTEM
which will go into effect January i.
By this new schedule Macon and
Thomasville will be changed to East
ern time, which is an hour ahead Of
the present time used at Macon, while
Atlanta, Americas and Albany will
remain in Central time. All of these
cities are on the time zone boundary
line.
AT meeting of the Commissioners
OF the Chamber of Commerce yester-
day afternoon it was decided to CO.
operate with the Atlanta Chamber,
which is also waging fight to have
Atlanta placed in the Eastern zone.
The movement so far as it has cry3-
tailed in Atlanta and other parts Of
the state, is to have the Eastern zone
boundary moved to the western bound
airy of the state, so that all of the
territory easst of the Chattahoochee
river to the point where it leaves
the state line, and west of the 85th
meridian from the river northward,
will be included in the Eastern time
zone.
Secretary Perkins, of the local
chamber, sent telegrams this morn
ing to the Atlanta Chamber and TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission
LCtifying them of the acton taken
here The Interstate commission was
also asked to make the change in the
zone boundary, provided it is practic-
able.
In Atlanta the movement has as
sumed formidable proportions. The
Atlanta city council will take up the
matter formally next Monday, and the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce will
&c on record officially tbs afternoon.
The plans has the backing of Mayor
Gambler and mony other officials and
business men of the capital city.
In Americas the merchants appear
to be solidly behind the proposal for
the change. Moving up of the time
one hour would put the city on the
same schedule employed under the
daylight saving plan, which was very
popular here and abandoned with
great reluctance. 1t is poi out
that the change would greatly unity
activities between the country and
the city. The farmers observe sun
time in all their farm work, as do
almost all of the negro labOrers.
Business men further say that with
Macon living an hour ahead Of Amer
icus, great inconvenience will result
in the commercial relations be; ' 'ali
the two cities, the bulk of Americas
business being done through that
city.
Albany, which is in the same pre-
dicament as Americas through the
coming of the standard time, has vt
taken no action in the matter, as the
city is under an absolute public gath
ering ban because Of influenza. Sent
iment is said to be favorable there,
however, for joining the movement to
be placed in the Eastern time belt,
and action, as soon as public meet
ings again are pernitC-n is
expected.
