Congressman Crisp
PraisesP Paved Roads

Congressman Charles Il. Crisp ar
rived home today from trip 70 Porto
Rico, where he was one of the con-
gressional committee appointed to
visit the islands on national business.
81 have had most pleasant trip,
and muchly needed rest" Con-
gressman Crisp said to The Times
Recorder. 1--WE travelled over those
splendid paved roads, some of them
built by the old Spaniards and some
of them built by our own government,
at As and so miles an hour. Uncle Joe
Cannon was one of the party, as hale
and hearty AMI vigorous as any ere
of us. Though s. years Old, he
would run-and mean r-u-n-around
the decks of the. steamer. One OF the
members of the party held his hat
shoulder high, and invited Uncle Joe
to try and kick it. Uncle Joe kicked.
The hat was minus its crown. Hes a
wonderfully preserved old man. We
were dined and given receptions daily
while on the little island, being one
day at a coffee plantation up in the
mountains, and another down on the
beach of the Caribbean"

BIG live STOCK
CORPORATION TO
DEVELOP TRACT
SOUTH OF HERE
Virginia Stockmen viii be Associated
in New Enterprise Now Seek
ing incorporation

A petition for incorporation of the
Hale Brothers Live Stock Company,
just filed in Sumter Superior court
indicates that the live stock industry
in this section is about to experience
a new impetus. Already live stock has
come to be recognized as one of the
leading money crops in Sumter and
surrounding counties but this is the
first instance, in recent years, where
in such large corporation has been
formed for the sole purpose of de-
veloping the industry in this section.
The incorporators named in the pc
tition are H. c. Hale, of Huntington,
W. Va; j. P. Hale, of Spring Valley,
Va, and c. M. Hale, of Americus, and
the capital stock named in the petition
for incorporation is $75,000.s T. o.
Marshall is attorney for the incorpor-
ators, and the petition states that 10
per cent of the capital stock has al
ready been paid in.
c. NJ. Hale, one of the ineorporators
was asked concerning the intentions
of the company this morning. He sta
ted that although it would be some
time before the new industry actually
gets into operation here, but that his
brothers with whom he is associated,
in the enterprise, have already pur-
chased tract of $40 acres situated
on the Dixie Highway, miles south
of Americus, in the vicinity of Sum-
ter, and that this will be the site of
the farm, when it is stocked with hogs
and cattle about January 1. In addi-
ton, the promoters of the enterprise
have secured an option on about 200
acres adjoining their tract and this
land, in all probability, will soon be
added to that already owned by the
corporation.
1t is the purpose of the corporation
to fatten hogs and cattle for the mar
ket, as well as engage in the business
of breeding and raising blooded live
stock, the raising of nuts and general
farming, producing on their farm all
necessary feedstuffs, etc, used in the
conduct of the business. J. p Hales,
who is an experienced stockman, hav-
ing been engaged in this business du-
ring many years, will be the active
manager of the business, and will
div de his time at the beginning be-
tween the farm here and similar
enterprise in which he is interested
in Virginia.

PRISONERS CLAUSE
MODEL FOR FUTURE

Should there be future wars, the
agreement as TO prisoners treatment
between America and Germany reach
cd the day of the armistice will prob
ably serve as a model.
This agreement provided among other
things for exchange Of prisoners after
one years time had been served pre-
cluded the iIl-treatment of any cap
tives; ordered that unmuzzled dogs
should not be used to guard prison
camps or TO pursue escaped prisoners.
One significant point OF the agree
ment, made public last night for the
first time, was that prisoners should
be housed and fed on a. basis Of equal
ity with soldiers of the country in
which they were interned.
