The Sumter men were told yes
terday that the trucks given the
county by the national government
have been shipped. They also heard
that the counties were not getting
more than one-half the number of
trucks applied for. But Americas has
been designated as a distributing
center and a large number of trucks
will be sent here for distribution.
Certainly the county commissioners
can find a way to get Sumter's needs
out of this train load of trucks, and
it was suggested that Sumter pick F.
w. DIS or White trucks. The engin-
GERS say these two makes are the
best
Judge Hixon says he expects to do
nothing, henceforth, but farm a lit
tie and spend the balance of his time
seeing that Sumter's roads are built,
built quickly, built like the people
have been promised they would be
built, and built so that the county will
get one hundred cents for every dol

COUNTIES AWAIT
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF FEDERAL AID

ATLANTA, July 18-(SpeciaD -
Announcement was expected this af-
ternoon by the State Highway com.
mission of the aportionnen. os fed
eral aid funds to the vari ~ caun-
ties applying for it.
Everybody and his neighbor was in
Atlanta yesterday, most of them bent
on getting some of this federal aid
money. Only 100000 to give out
and more than $18,O00,060 applied
for.
When time was called at ID o'clock
by the commission, in its offices in
the capitol-it's still here, Macon
hasn't run off with it at this writing
men were packed into the offices
like sardines. The fortGnates had
seats. The big crowd was standing,
few on the floor, the balance on
tables, chairs, cabinets, etc.
Of Sumter's delegation, one only
got a look-in. Judge Maynard break
tasted at sun-up and entered the
capitol with the janitofs and scrub
women. He said yesterday that he'd
be on time. And he was. He had an
upholstered chair and was prepared
to stay until another dawn.
Facts and Fiction Flow
All day long the oratory flowed.
Facts (and fiction) were put forth by
members of each delegation as TO
why that particular county should
have all it wanted. Some Of those del
egations seemed to think that to him
who talked longest and loudest would
come the greatest share of this ia
NOUS gift money,
Sumter had been on the ground for
two days and knew wnere 1t stood
or thought it did, and aid not worry
about what others said and did. Reli-
able information received last Tues
day showed that Sumter was slated
for just about enough of this appor-
tionment to pay travelling expenses
for it's delegation. All over $4,000
or $4,000 that was to be awarded
could be counted clearly as pickup
thanks to the persistent work of
Judge Hixon and Judge Maynard. All
day and all night they besieged the If
fees. of the commission, of the state
engineer and of the federal engineer.
Watch for Willie.
Judge Hixon and I4ovelace Eve,
who was the advance agent for the
two Sumter judges, spent Thursday
in an investigation OF the paving
known as "Willite'--get that name
into your head, you'll hear a lot
about "Willite" in the naxt few
months. 1t surely looks to be the
thing for Sumter. And Willie is an
accident.
About forty years ago a man nam
ed Willis laid some sheet asphalt mix
ed with sand on Fifth avene in New
York. 1t stayed. A few years ago
New York decided to tear up this
forty-year-old stuff and put down
else. The harder they tried |
to pry it out the tighter it stuck. En-
gineers became curious and sent for
Mr.. Willis. He could no. explain what
was holding the old stuff. Examina-
ton and chemical analysis showed,
however, that sulphate Of copper had
become mixed in with this sheet as
phalt and this had precerved it for
these years past.
New York and New Jersey began |
laying the new paving, using sulphate
of copper. Today it is the most pop
ular paving known n that section Ne
are told.

COTTON BOARD
PLANNING FIGHT
ON OPPOSITION

ATLANTA, July Isl. Skottowe
Wannamaker, of St. Matthews, S. c.,
president of the American Cotton
association, upon written request
from a number of the members of
the board of directors, today issued
call for meeting of the board of
directors Of the American Cotton as
ISOLATION to be held in Atlanta, at the
Chamber of Commerce, on July 2, at
10 a. M, to remain in session
through July "a. Other officers of
the association are Vice President
John T. Scott, of Houston, Tex, and
Secretary W. C. Barrickman, of Dali
las, Tex. Commissioner of Agricul-
ture ]. ]. Brown, of the Georgia
state agricultural department, is d.
rector for Georgia.
This meeting is e0lled for the pur-
pose of completing the plans for the
permanent organization of the Amer
lean Cotton association. IN addition
to this, the board will consider the
plans of opposition winch are being
put into effect throughout the cotton
belt. This opposition comes from peo-
pie outside of the South, and it is
said, is backed by powerful money in
terests.
This opposing force has a plan for
an organization of a world cotton
association, to include farmers, mer-
chants, bankers and also spinners-
both New England and foreign spin
ners. They state that this associa-
ton would be along IKE line of
profit-sharing organization, and that
it will prove very beneficial both to
the producer and the manufacturer.
Regarding these conditions, Presi-
dent Wannamaker says:
"The American Cotton association
cannot see it in this light. The &C
ton of the opposition has caused
them to sit up and take notice. Great
interests are being employed for the
purpose of pushing forward the plans
of the opposition. The New England
and foreign spinner is already thor
oughly organized, and they have al
ways opposed the best interests of the
producer, and fought down the price
of cotton regardless of how low it
was.
"Their movement today, it is
thought, is due to the fact that the
American Cotton association has
brought about wonderful changes for
the better throughout the entire
South, They realize that cotton will
never again under their administra-
ton be sold below the cost of pro-
duction, that the spinner realizes that !
the organization of the American Cot |
ton association means that there will |
really be proft-sharing, and that the !
producer will get price for his cot
ton above the cost of production.
"a battle royal is on. No quarter
will be asked or given. We can or
ganize and manage our own affairs
outside interference"
President Wannamaker points out
that plan being advanced by those
opposed to the organization of the
American Cotton association to offer
a price this fall for next years crop
that will induce the planting of an
enormous acreage in cotton, so as to
re-establish the depleted SURPRISES of
raw cotton, so as to have club with
which to beat down prices, force dis
tressed cotton upon the market and
buy at starvation prices.

Where the Banjo Came From.

The modern banjo was introduced
into England from the United States,
to which country it was probably
taken by the African slaves, who
originally obtained the idea from In
dia. The unmusical name "banjo"
seems to have been derived from
"banya," the name of a Senegambian
instrument of the guitar species.

Another Wool Ship,uent

Sheep, the scavengers of the farm
are being found by growing number
OF farmers in Hamilton county to- bt
highly profitable source of income
A car load OF wool shipped during tht
past week paid its owners the sum OF
50, ,232.
OF this amount, $1,5A went to 7
Earl Smith, who resides about ter
miles south of the city. 1t represents
the clip from 343 sheep for one yeaI
and the sum for which it was sold Il
a additional profit outside Of the lamf
crop. The sheep were pastured or
eighty acres of timber land, which
would have otherwise proved mprOfita
BILE.
In the interest Of sheep raising, il
Is said that sheep will eat 600 out OF
the 500 varieties Of weeds which grow
in Iowa. Many farmers are shipping
In western lambs in the fall of the yeal
and pasturing them in the corn fields
which they clean of weeds.
COmpa risOns show that sheep wiz
make pound Of gain on from six te
eight pounds Of feeds; hog pound
Of gain on from four to five pounds Of
feeds, but that it takes from twelve te
fourteen pounds Of feed to make one
pound Of beef. Undoubtedly pork and
beef will cOntinne to be Hamilton coun-
tys biggest production, but few sheer
will keep the farm clean and prove a
source of considerable income as we'll
