COUNTY BOARD
RESCINDS ORDER
TO HALT WORK
Action Taken After A
Session And Hearing
Engineer

The board of county commission
ers of Sumter county, in regular
monthly session at the court house
today, rescinded their action of ten.
days ago when they ordered the paw
ing program interrupted on Novem-
ber L and all employees of the paw
ing department discharged. The ac-
ton of the board followed a long
session, at which the subject was
discussed at considerable length.
District Engineer w. G. Caye, the
state representative in charge Of all
federal aid highway work in this con
gressional district, was before the
board for some time. He not only
informed the board that the move
would prove economy, but that un-
less the work was resumed within 30
days it would result in the loss of the
$4,000 federal aid money allotted
to Sumter county and which was to
have been expended upon the next
project to be undertaken, the five
mile project on the Smithville road
leading out of Americus. He was
questioned as to whether the money
might not be available until the first
VI tHS year, UuI ne lHIOImeu Int
board that other counties in this dis
trict were crying for federal money
and ready to spend it, and that un-
less Sumter county went ahead with
preparations to use it at once it
would be allotted elsewhere. En-
gineer Caye conveyed a message to
the board from State Highway En-
gineer w. R. Neel, which is under
stood to have been of the same inn
port.
1t was stated this afternoon by
County Engineer John Ansley that a
statement would be made public
shortly giving final figures on
county's first project, that on the
Dixie Highway east of the cit
which has lust been COMPLETED.

VOTE ANYHOW, IS
WORD TO WOMEN
Mrs. McLendon Tells All
Georgia Women 1t Is
Their Right

ATLANTA, Nov. despite the
fact that no provision has been made
In this state for women to vote in
the national election tomorrow under
the nineteenth amendment to the
constitution, Mrs. Mary l.. McLen
don, one of the pioneer suffragists Of
Georgia, is advising them to "iust go
to the polls and vote"
Mrs. McLendon, who is president
of the Georgia Woman's Suffrage
association, organized in 1890, and
one of the most prominent equal suf-
frage workers of the South, explain
ed in an interview that she has done
her best to find safe official way by
which the women might exercise
their rights according to the federal
constitution, but added that all her
efforts had been in vain.
"Just go to the polls and VOTE"
is her advice. 81 have conferred
with Attorney General B. A. Den
ny, and in few concise words he
told me. The laws concerning reg
istration do not apply to women, but
only to men. Go to the polls No
vember 2 and offer to vote. If the
managers say you have not regis
tered, tell them you'll register right
now; that you have not been permit
ted to register although you have
applied to register. If they refuse
you, the election can be invalidated.
No state action by executive or leg
islature is necessary to perfect the
rights of women as electors. The
nineteenth federal amendement is
above the laws any state

TWO OIL MILLS
HERE SHUT DOWN
Unstable Condition Of
Market Is Given AS
Cause

The plant of the Americas Oil
company and the Farmers Cotton
Oil company shut down Saturday for
an indefinite period, it was announc-
ed today, as result of the demoral-
lied condition of the cotton seed pro-
ducts market Between 12O and lao
men, all colored, were thrown out of
work temporarily as a result. 1t was
stated that the mills may be closed
only a week, and it may be for a
month, depending entirely upon how
the market moves. Buying of seed
at the market price will continue.
eve have been running full ca
pacity, "a hour shifts, daily, during
September and October" said R. l..
McMath, of the Americas Oil COM
pany, "and have had sufficient seed
to crush, but the market for our pro
ducts has become so uncertain that
it has been found Improbable to op,
crate at the present. We have had
a number of cases of seed meal be-
ing sold at current prices, and when
delivered the market would be off
SO or 81 a ton and the shipment
would be refused and we would have
to take it back, resulting in serious
losses to us. So we decided to shut
down temporarily until the market
became a bit more stabilized and we
can tell what to depend upon. We
hope not to be closed long"
The norma yearly crush of the
two mills here combined is about
$4,000 tons of cotton, and the sea
son about months of the year.
Numerous oil mills elsewhere IN
the state closed 2 or three weeks
ago.

plan which looks forward many
years to a greatly increased popu-
lation; inauguration of a legal aid
bureau for the benefit of those
who cannot afford to pay for legal
counsel; loan sharks driven out Of
town; establishment of free en-
ployment bureau, which secures
jobs for upwards of 10000 persons
annually; empty lots turned into
garden spots; workhouse prison
ers given outside work, in some
cases being allowed to take jobs in
factories; provisions for school
nurses and physicians; food milk,
market, abattoir, restaurant, gro
Gerry, hotel, soda fountain, and con-
fectionary inspection; eight-hour
day established for city employees;
red light district abolished; work
ing out and passage of building
code, the first Dayton ever had;
establishment of cooperative pub
lie health nursing.
To what are these results due:
The answer to this question, ac-
cording to the city manager, is to
be found in the fact that under the
citv manager plan, Dayton is un-
hampered by politicians attempt
ing to hold down the jobs of ex-
uerts, that the business of Dayton
now is transacted in just the same
way that any other efficient busl-
ness organization conducts It's al
fairs. :.
Just as Dayton has selected its
own citv manager Waite and
Rarlow-not because of political
mil. but because the commission
ers believed them capable of head
ing a big business cooperation
+, is what cities are fundamentally
so they have selected their as
sistants without respect TO thelr
political qualifications:
The city manager plan as IN Ell
feet in Dayton calls for a commls-
sion of five, elected at large on a
non-nartisan ballot. This commls-
SION has the power to select city
manager from any place in the
limited States at any salary II
deems advisable. The city man
aoer once appointed, has author1-
ty to select his assistants. Inc
manager is under the supervisor
of the commission just as the gen
oral manager of a business corp
oration is under the supervision Oh
the board of directors.
Five Departments.
Under the city charter the al

These departments are: Law, RI

counter claims, with flashes of old
time political enthusiasm, marked the
conclusion of the campaign In the
states of the central west today. Mys-
terry as to the tide of the tremendous
woman vote was reflected in many
eleventh-hour discussions of the gen.
eral situation. Reports from various
states indicated that in practically all
districts unusual steps had been
taken to guard against fraud and
curb quickly any attempts to intlml-
date women voters. In many dis
tricts the usual number of poll work
ers will be doubled or trebled.

NEW YORK, Nov. with the
opening Of the polls less than "a
hours away, both Republican and
Democratic headquarters early today
took up the stride which will carry
them in the final scene of the con
test either to victory or to defeat.
"Cox and Roosevelt will win," de-
cleared Democratic Chairman White.
The Republican chairman, Hays,
translated his expectation into fig
ures, expressing his conviction that
Harding would have no less than
360-probably 395 electoral votes
out of a possibility of 531. The
number required to elect is 266.
Interest in the last day centered
in the final desperate attempt to
bring over the doubtful" states with
their large electoral votes to deliv-
er, or to save the United States SEN
ators in other doubtful states where
the electoral vote is not large enough
to be indispensable. The salient
point of the states in the first cate
Agory is Ohio, while the outstanding
case of the second class is Nevada
Other states where the eleventh
hour contest is intense, with both
parties sanguine of success, are Ari-
iona, Kentucky, Maryland, New
Mexico, Tennessee, North CaRolina
and Oklahoma. All these, as well
as Ohio, are claimed by both Demo
Gratis and Republicans.
Second only in interest to the
outcome of the voting is, What will
the women do?" Leaders of both
the major parties disclaim possession
of advance information on what Is
to be expected of the new class Of
voters exercising the franchise in all
states for the first time.

fired upon and riddled with bullets
an automobile containing Sheriff j.
L. Scoggins and three deputies, who
had narrow escapes from being kill
ed in the fusillade. Ten negroes
are in the Montgomery county Jail
charged with arson, and other arrests
are expected to follow.
The fires broke out simultaneously
and reign of terror ensued among
the families of the white farmers,
who began telephoning the, sheriff. 5
office for assistance. Responding
promptly, Sheriff Scoggins, with
four deputies, set out for the scene
in an automible, which was fired up
on from the roadside as it approach
ed the locality. The sheriff's posse
had narrow escapes from death and
only saved themselves by jumping
from the car on the opposite side of
the road from whence the shots came
and falling to their knees. Using
the automobile as a shield they kill
ed tow of the negroes and eff
fected the capture of ten others.
A hurried telephone call the coun-
ty jail and polio e department
brought reinforcements and a drag
net was quickly spread about the
locality, but only two other suspects
were thereafter arrested during
Sunday. A strong guard of depu-
ties patroled the affected scene last
night. The governors office has
not as yet been officially notified
of the outbreak and it is not expect
ed that troops will be called out.
The outbreak occurred on the
farms of J. 7. Davis and M. S. Hol-
ton, white farmers, but the negroes
killed and arrested are tenants and
laborers for the most part on an ad-
joining farm, and no motive is as
cribed for the attacks.
