81, 100 APPROPRIATED
TO BUILD NEW SCHOOL
Julius Rosenwald Fund Manag-
ers Set Aside Funds for Me-
gro School at Sumter

The managers of the Julius Ros-
enwald fund for school building
have just awarded $1100 to help
build an industrial school for ne
gro children at Sumter, in this
county.
The money is given on condi-
tion that the people of Sumter's
school district supplement the same
to an amount sufficient to build an
adequate building for industrial
work and provide 5 to 10 acres of
land for work additional. The gov
ernment will pay fve-eights of sal
ary of male and female teachers
and the pupils must devote from
so to so per cent of their time
in school to purely industrial work.
Col j. E. D. Shipp, chairman of
the board of education, is giving
much thought and time to the bet
terment of the county's negro
schools at this time, and with the
completion of this new school at
Sumter the county will have four
large, well taught industrial schools
for negroes that will not be ex-
celled.

SUMTER OATS CROP
DAMAGED Is PERCENT
Total Loss VIII Run Between
Fifty and Sixty Thousand
Bushel. Expert Estimates

The oats crops of Sumter county
has been damaged approximately
% per cent, according to George o.
Marshall, county farm demonstra-
tion agent Mr.. Marshall has made
an extensive tour around the county
since the beginning of the wet sen
son, now apparently about to end,
and his estimate is based upon Oh
servations during this trip. Rye has
also been hard hit By the wet spell,
Mr.. Marshall states, bat practically
all of the wheat yield was saved,
due to early harvesting.
Many hundreds of acres planted
to oats and rye, ne says, have been
beaten down to the ground by nces-
cant and continued rains. with the
grcin in full head ana ready fer cut
ting when the showers began. This
is now so far gone that cutting is
impossible and the only value this
crop has is represented by the guam
tity of roughage farmers will be
able to save, through turning their
stock upon these fields, and the fer
tilizing value of the stalks that will
be turned under in preparation for
other crops, which is not inconsid-
cradle.
The total oats yield was estimat-
ed by Mr.. Marshall before the be-
ginning of the wet spell at approx
imately 250,000 bushels over the
entire county, and the loss of '25
per cent means that Sumter farm
ers have actually lost, as a result
of recent downpours, approximately
10000 to 10000 bushels of oats,
having a market value of $4,000,
hit most Of which would have been
used for feeding purposes had they
been gathered.

ALBANY FANS WANT
AMERICUS IN GAME

ALBANY, Ca, June 5-With
baseball funds already raised in
Albany, Dawson and Arlington,
these three south Georgia cities are
seeking fourth city in their neigh
borhood to join them in baseball
loop. They do not propose to have
an organized league or to play each
other exclusively, but they want
an even number Of clubs so that
each can always be assured of
games. Americus is expected to be
the fourth city, as an effort will be

HOMER WOODS, NEGRO.
KILLED BY OFFICER
WORTHY IN ALL
Burglar Fled as Officer Ap-
preached, Refusing to Heed
Command to Halt
WAS ENTERING SHERLoCKs
Circumstances Indicate Dead
Negro One of Gang That
Watched Officers

Homer Woods, negro was killed
this morning shortly after midnight
by Police Lieutenant John Worthy,
the killing occurring in the alley
parallel with Cotton avenue behind
the Americus Vulcanizing Works.
Officer Worthy was alone at the
time, but Policeman Omar Bass
came uN about the time he reached
Woods body, having been attracted
by the shots.
According to the best informa-
ton obtainable this morning Wor-
thy surprised Woods in the act of
entering Sherlock's store through a
hide door opening into what is
known as Sherlock's alley. The ne
gro was called upon to halt, ac-
cording to information furnished a
reporter, but refused to do this. He
was pursued by the officer who
fired, killing Woods instantly, it is
said, though this could not be def
nitely confirmed.
Shortly before the killing Off
Ger Ross had passed the scene of
the attempted burglary, examining
the doors there, but found no evi-
dence Of any effort to force an
entrance, and little earlier an
other officer had passed there as
well. Lieut.. Worthy had been to the
Central depot and was walking back
to the city business district alone
when he surprised Woods at work,
and this has led to the belief that
the negro had one or more associ-
ates who watched for the officers
and notified him when it was
thcNght all of these We're safely
accounted for in other parts Of the
city.

The Speed Cop

The speed cop rides his motor
cycle, his costly shield upon his
breast, pursuing James or Pete or
Michael, who knocks the statutes
galley west. In rain and shine and
in the blizzard he chases Jones or
Smith or Brown; the motion lacer-
atAs his gizzard and turns his liver
upside down. And after chasing
some offender, at sixty-seven miles
an hour, and running his best sus-
pender, he's feeling grim and peeved
and sour. He overtakes the nutty
speeder, and says, You're pinched,
and you'll be fined; of all speed
demons you're the leader-you leave
chain lightning far behind" Then
if the speeder keeps his senses he
will be gracious and polite; he will
not add to his offenses by cussing
that official wight. He'll say, "Oh,
copper, | am sorry | gave you such
beastly race; | know ! shouldn't
push my lorry at such a fierce and
frightful pace. l hate to see you
tired and sweating, l see my work
was raw and coarse; hereafter I'll
not be forgetting the laws you
splendidly enforce" The cop ex-
poets show of passion, how of
language hot and blue, and when
you answer in meek fashion, he
looks with kindly eye on you. And
it may chance that he will mutter,
You must go slower when you
ride; just let your henry up and
flutter-this time, | guess I'll let
you slide"
