Ameficus farmers have a valuable
service at their command which many
Of them said they wanted, but which
they have hardly yet begun to use. 1t
is service that should be valuable
to Sumter county, and one that un-
,doubtedly will be made valuable, as
soon as tae farmers become ac-
custolaed to it. 1t is the sweet po-
tato curing plant of w. c. Carter
located on the site of the old saw
yer Machine shops on East FufloW
street, on the Seaboard track.
Mr.. Carter during the past summer
built a curing house with capacity
Of 10000 bushels, capable OF curing
and turning out that many potatoes
about every 10 days. In a season,
utilized to capacity, it could handle
an immense quantity Of potatoes. Up
to date only G00 bushels have been
cured by Mr.. Carter, but he mas re-
ceived 1000 bushels within the last
few days and will shortly make an
otner rdh. he coming OF ffosI -
moving many farmers to dig their
potatoes after they had delayed long
en- than they should, and better re-
ceipts are now expected for time.
However, the general crop Is snort
this year, as a result of the long
drcueth of the summer and fail, and
that is believed the chief reason the
curing plant has not been III great
demand up to this time.
Mr.. Carter cures potatoes on
basis of either cash or shares. lie ac-
cepts them at a rate of 25 cents a
bushel or one-fourth. The Snare
basis has been more popular up to
this time, owing to the poor demand
Just now in the market. The demand
is expected to grow, however, as the
season progresses, and then the cash
basis will probably be preferred by
most farmers.
A. c. Guy In Charge.
The plant is in charge OF A. G.
Guy, we'll known Americus young
man, who as a carpenter supefih-
tended the construction of the plant

thorough detail. And he takes pride
in showing visitors what is being
done and what can be done.
The building is Of refrigerator con
str1ction Throughout The walls are
double sealed inside and out, with
roofing paper on both inner and out

When the green potatoes are
brought in after being carefully Gull

holding bushel each. These are
piled regularly in tiers, with aisles
at intervals. In the center of the
compartment, which holds about S.

SCHLEY WOMEN
LOSE ELECTION;
TONDEE BEATEN
j. II. Holloway Wins For Tax
Receiver In Spirited Special
Race
MEN RESENT PETTICOAT
IN POLITICS, COMBINE
Reative of Mrs. Rainey, Who
Withdrew, Defeated; Prom
ised Her Part Of Profits

ELLAVILLE, Nov. l6,-There is
woe among the good women Of Schley
county as result of their first eZ-
perience in politics. Going solidly TO
the polls in Tuesdays special elec-
ton to fill the vacancy in the office
of tax receiver, they found the men
of the community largely framed up
against them, and they lost, their cam
didate being defeated by 10 votes out
of SAP cast.
An interesting story surrounds the
election race. A few weeks ago A,
s. Rainey, highly respected citizen
and tax receiver for many years,
died. A special election was called
to fill the vacancy and his widow an
nounced, she beirg the first woman
ever to announce fer office in the
county. The women of the county
were interested in public affairs,
some so or 40, pledged themselves
solidly tc her support.
But number of the men OF the
community appeared to resent the
appearance of a petticoat in politics,
viewing it as an encroachment upon
their long-held prerogative, and sew
eral men prepared TO announce
against her. However, it dawned
upon them that, with the strength
known to be behind her in the COM
munity, she could easily dispose of a
divided field, and caucus of the
opposition was held. AS result, it
was decided that j. H. Holloway
should make the race against Mrs.
Rainey and attempt to insure the
perpetuation cf man il office. hesi-
tating, under the circumstances, to
make a fight which threatened to be-
come bitter, Mrs. Rainey at once
withdrew, and in her place 7. G. Ton
dee "a relative, announced, passing
the word around that he would divide
the proceeds of the office with the
widow of the late incumbent who had
Just Withdrawn from the race. And
sc the race developed until election
day. SF
The women vcted in full strength,
and it was said not female vote
went for Mr. Holloway and not a wo-
man registered failed to cast her bal
lot. The voting went ON all day,
with the interest at high pitch, al
though there was nothing but the
best of order, and it was with breath
less Interest that the result of the
counting Of the votes was awaitee.
Finally the announcement game: J.
Il. Holloway, 176; T. 9. Tondee, 1865.
The women had lost.
But we are not discouraged" one
woman said afterward. "Instead, we
have gotten thoroughly interested in
politics, and you may watch out for
the women next time. We will be
better organized and we have learned
something about the game of politics
from the men who beat US this
| time.''
The first woman in the history Of
Schley county to cast vote was Mrs.
H. J. Williams, this being the first
election in which women have ever
participated in this county. A num-
Der of women voted Immediately af-
ter Mrs. Williams.

grees and kept there uniformly day
and night for ten days, which period
completes the drying out. 1t is then
dropped to refrigeration temperature
of from AS to IS degrees and kept
there until the potatoe% are disposed
Of or moved.
- Keep Ind cfinitely.
The low temperature is easily
handled by cooling from ventilation
at night and keeping .al openings
closed during the warmer parts OF
the day, no ice being required and
a dry refrigeration obtained, The
potatoes lose about 5 pounds IN
weight during the drying process,
and when cooled will keep indefinite
ly, ii is said.
These compartments have a floor
space Of 20x40 feet, and there are
four of them. On the lot is ample
space for tripling the size of The car
ing house without crowding. Plat
f5rm space at present will permit of
loading two cars at the same time.
"A lGaJuEe OF lile PlailI GpouI Wil1SlA
little has been said up to now is that
it can be used as successfully for
curing onions and Irish potatoes as
for sweet potatoes. These two pro
ducts, which produce well here, have
been little plarted in the past be-
cause of losses from .rotting. They
may now be cured and marketed at
good profit. One farmer stated a
few days ago that he intended to go
in fer Irish potatoes next year be-
cause of the availability of the cur
ing house, stating that he raised a
fine cron last year and would have
made big money had not he expert
enced heavy rotting. Onion culture,
if started now, can be made profit
able next year by the use of the stor-
age house.
Mr. Garter is operating his cur
ing plant so as TO turn out nothing
but Standardized products, and there
fore accepts nothing but the genuine
Porto Rico yams, and only carefully
culled and graded potatoes. When
cured they mako a product that may
h" shipped anywhere and which when
tried on any table will bring repeat
ed demand.
