sali he saw no improperly in

mree public in Germany, and
added that the President was
under no obligation to present the
treaty conditions to the Senate, as
II was not treaty that would
eventually be signed, changes and
amendments now being under
consideration.
But Lodge and Borah had the
draft submitted TO Germany

cleared up the partisan fog by
stating that 1t was unwise to dis
tribute copies OF only the Allied

DIXIE AIR Line

ATLANTA, July 14-According
to information contained in a letter
to the chamber of commerce from
Carl Fisher, of Indianapolis, we'll
known good roads enthusiast, direct
air line is to be established from Chi
cago to Miami, Fla. The Atlanta
chamber of commerce is asked to
take a part in perfecting plans for
the route. and organization work will
begin Immediately.
The route will be called the Dixie
Airline, and if the matter comes to
successful close, will be the first
long distance airplane route in the
United States.
1t is the belief of those who have
the plans in charge that if COM
mercial pursuits are to be influenced
by air transportation, landing fields
and routes must be laid out at once.
The south, and especially Georgia,
is happily situated in this respect.
There are several landing places al
ready laid out for the convenience of
the fliers. The one in Atlanta, Can
dler field, near Hapeville, is one of
the best in the south. Macon has do
mated Central City park as landing
site for the ships. Thomasville has

have been fortunate in having good
labor and plenty of it. We have fer
tilized for results and it now looks as
if we have succeeded"
Through acre after acre of cotton
we traversed. If the boil weevil has
arrived at the Ansley place, its evil
dence could not be found. Mr.. Ans
ley's manager stated that probably
the weevil would appear, "but give us
a couple more weeks and we'll have
him beat to a frazzle," he said.
Back off the roads, down on the
creek bank, the cotton and corn on
the Ansley place is just as good as on
the roads. Every field is clean of
grass, the crops have a good healthy
color that shows vitality and ability to
stand adverse weather conditions.
In the stables the reporter was
shown 80 or 40 of the finest head of
of mules to be found in any barn.
Round, slick, healthy, well fed and
well kept, these mules looked equa,
to any task.
If there is better corn or better
cotton in Sumter county-in any
county-the writer would like to see
it.
What is being accomplished out on
the Ansley plantation can be accom-
plished all over Sumter county. The
vast potentialities of this section are
beyond Imagination. 1t seems that
Sumter, with her cotton and corn, her
fruits and live stock, is to be one Of
the most prosperous counties in the
Southeast-and that means the
world.

Nowhere, not even in the corn

many stalks were found with six and
seven ears formed or rapidly form

and have been named as suitable
places for landing field.
The climatic conditions in the
south make it the logical section for
year-around flying and judged from
every viewpoint, commercial aviation
has a bright future in the southland.
One feature that should have a
decided influence on aviation in
Georgia is the location of the flying
field at Americas The ships enroute
would have the opportunity of using
this post as base of supplies.
Great interest was shown in At
lanta when the plans were made pub
lie. Several business men have ex-
pressed themselves as enthusiastic
over the matter, and definite action
on the proposal will be taken at an
early date.

county, and one of the county's sturdy
citizens, met tragic death last Thurs
day night at the hands of his nephew,
Furman Abercrombie, who shot his
uncle under peculiar circumstances.
The shooting occurred at the home of
Furman Abercrombie's mother, widow
Of the late Frank Abercrombie, and,
according to the testimony Of witnesses
et the coroner's inquest Friday after
noon, 1t took place between midnight
and 1 o'clock Friday morning 1t
seems that Magistrate Abercrombie had
spent some time Thursday night at a
country store in the community and Is
supposed to have been on his way
home when he tsopped at the residence
Of Mrs. Frank Abercrombie. A
Younger brother of Furman Aoer-
cyombie, sleeping in an upstairs room,
was aroused by some strange noisc
and went to his brothers room on the
lower floor and awoke him, telling
him that something was disturbing
the quiet of the night. Furman got
his gun and about this time he saw
a figure of man through side room
window. He called to know who 1t
was. Getting no reply, he ordered the
individual to get away. Receiving no
response to this, the young man fired
and the man fell dead in his tracks,
shot through the head with a charge
Of small sized shot. After calling an
other kinsman, who lives nearby, an
investigation revealed the identity Of
o. good citizen whose strange conduct
cost him his death. 1t was suggested
that possibly he called by the Aber-
crombie home to play a joke on the
boys by giving them little scare.
There was no misunderstanding be-
tween the two families, according to
witnesses. Magistrate AbeEcrombie
was "a years old and had held office
for eight or ten years. He Is survived
by eight children.
