SUGAR CIVESOUT
HERE And NOT A
POUND in SIGHT
No Relief Before First Of
Year, Word Of Big
Rehners

Americus, the state and the nation
are practically sugarless. And there
in no immediate relief in sight. In
fact, it was stated Saturday that the
refners of this district had indicated
it would be late in December or early
in January before shipments of su-
gar could be resumed. Americas re-
tailers are all either entirely out of
sugar or practically so. And there
is not pound IN the wholesale
houses here.
"We have 1,O55 barrels ordered, .
said Frank Lanier, Of the Ameri-
Gus Grocery Company, Saturday,
"and will not be able to get even
a barrel of it. / received letter
from our dealer in Savannah today,
saying it would be impossible to
complete our contract, and that there
would be no more sugar before late
December or January, when the LOU
isiana crop begins coming. 1t looks
like the people would have to go
without sugar entirely for awhile.
We will be unable to get any of the
best sugar from the west, because
the government regulations will not
allow it to be shipped out of that
territory"
Government control of the sugar
industry is given as the cause of the
shortage. While the price which the
refiners could pay to the Cuban
growers for raw sugar is limited.
European interests are on the ground
buying up the supply at higher
prices. And in the meantime deal
ers, both wholesale and retail, have
been little interested in the approach
ing shortage, the wholesalers being
limited profit of 35 cents per 100
pounds and the retailer to one cent
a pound, each sustaining any losses
that might be met in handling the
product in any way.
Government control will end Jan
uary /.

a membc1' o. the Geet Sugar Manu-

'There is world shortage of su-

highest price they can get.

nearly 2 1-2 million tons of sugar,
half of its yearly consumption. Also

"The United States government

be had can keep the price from sky
rocketing."

OPENING DAY OF
SUMTER FAIR TO
Be WEDDINCDAY
Speculation Keen On
Identity Of Couple
Minister Don t Know

Thursday, October 16, the opening
/ day of the Sumter county fair, will
be the day Of the public wedding, it
was announced yesterday by Secre-
tary Perkins. But that was as far
as he would go except to say the
hour would be given out later. There
was not a word or a hint about the
indentity of the couple, except this:
The last names of the bride-elect and
the groom begin with the same letter
of the alphabet
Which was just another "teaser"
for the hundreds of curious ladies
young and old of the community
who are positively dying" to know
who the couple are. One woman
was given this clue to the identity of
the couple Saturday morning spent
the remainder of the day searching
the city and telephone directories,
but without stumbling upon anything
that looked like satisfactory solu-
tion of the mystery.
Rev. Silas Johnson, pastor of the
Lee Street Methodist church, who has
agreed to tie the knot, is among
these who does not know who the
couple are, but he was speculating
nightly Saturday, for he had heard
that one of them was a Methodist
and the other a Baptist. This, how
ever, was only rumor, and couldn't
be verified. The minister will be in
formed of the identity of the pair
when he is introduced to them Just
before the wedding party mounts
the platform at the fair for the eere-
mony.
last evening 2n additional list of
donations for the couple was an
nounced as follows:
