Somewhere or other an earthquake

Savannah is trying to get into Sac
Francisco’s class, all because a lone
Jap has entered the night school.
That city will have a hard time to
make an international incident of the
affair.
With more eagerness than on her
first trip, the coming of the Lusitania,
which sailed from Liverpool Friday
witti $10,000,000 in gold aboard, will
be watched. A real cry of joy
will go up if the ship smashes all
previous records.
Virginias navy, which is trying
to suppress illicit taking of oys

by the oyster pirates of the Chesa
peake Bay. Here's a chance for the
Pacific fleet to get in a little work
before they start. ♦
Over in Kankakee, 111., a bill has
been filed to restrain the high school
boys from playing football, an attor
ney claiming that the statute prohib

about eleven kinds of fights all go
ing on at once, according to the at
torney’s idea.
In the case of the discovery that
fever was transmitted by mosquitoes,

it is stated that the natives of East

Students of the North Carolina
State College were invited by the!
college President to settle their
class diffeernces by a mass fight.
In tlie scrimmage on the campus four j
noses were broken, countless eyes
blackened and other bruises inflict-1
ed The senior class adopted resolu-1
lions condemning the fights as bru- j
tat. Even tie old style of hazing
has its advantages, as doubtless the !
President has found out.

almost; equally fast. * automobile * a
Pennsylvania coroner’s jury cen
sured the town councilmen for letting
the train run so fast through their
town. Most people will concede that
a train has a right to run faster than
an automobile. An automobile is
liable to fly up and tiit a pedestrian at
any time .while the trains are only I
to be found at certain places and
not always there.
Col. C. P. Goodyear, Brunswick’s
prophet, in a recent issue of the Jour
nil, says in regard to his city’s fu
ture: “There is no reason why we
should talk of a possible future of a
hundred thousand people. The limit
for now ought not to be put at less
than a half million in the first half
of the Twentieth century.” Without!
attempting to detract from the glor
ious future of one of Georgia's sea
ports, we cannot help but be lost in
admiration, and also at a loss to
guess what brand produces such
exquisite dreams.
ANOTHER BIG OK VI.
Another large transfer of Sumter
county real estate has been made by
which the Huguenln plantation pass
! es into the hands of Gainesville capi
, talists. This is one of the very finest
! plantations in the state, the deal in
i volving a quarter of a million dol
lars.
; Just a week before that the Time -
Recorder announced the sale of the
DeSoto plantation, which is to be cut
!| up into smaller farms to suit the
purchaser.
1 Each of these deals has attracted
! renewed attention to the splendid
farming lands of Sumter county. N:
county in South Georgia has riche'
land or finer farming opportune* -s
than this county. Cotton, sugar cane
and corn are staples which en.*.:i
the planters, while truck farming is
also a most profitable form of indus
try for those who do not possess *.*.-
larger tracts.
With the largest county seat town
in South Georgia as a consumer and
market place, the attractiveness of
Sumter county is greatly enhanced as
I a place of residence and as a money
making farming community.
Any impartial observer will agree
that Sumter county is the garden spot
of South Georgia, which Is equiva
lent to saying of the whole South.
With a tide of immigration of farm
ers into the districts, w hich will make
all these blossom and bring
forth an increasing wealth for the pro
ducers, the future of Sumter as of the
most attractive farming spot in the
South it assured. Sumter county
calls most alluringly to prospective
investors.

CAPITAL OF NEW PLANT
WILL BE $50,000
Americas and Columbus to
Unite.
The Times-Recorder three days
ago told of the proposed organiza
tion of a company composed of Am
ericus and Columbus capitalists who !
would shortly erect in this city a
large fertilizer manufacturing plant,!
the fifth for Americus.
All details of the new enterprise j
are now completed.
Work will begin shortly, and the
product of the new company, capital
ized at $50,000, will be ready for the !
next season's trade*
The Home-Mixture Guana Co., of
Columbus, in conjunction with Mes
srs. L. G. Council, Thomas and Frank I
Harrold, will launch the new sac-1
tory. This will be the eighth large
plant in which the Home Mixture
; Co. is interested.
All the details have been com
; pleted for the opening of the plant
!at Americus. For the present no j
| building will be erected, the old j
| compress shed here, having been se- j
! cured and which will be used bv the !
i
new company.
One of the Americus men interested!
- therein will head the company and j
j will be in active charge of the en- j
j terprise. It is announced that the |
new plant will have its products
ready for the next season's busi-!
i ness.
'the Home-Mixture brand is one!
of the most popular fertilizers sold j
in this entire section.
The Americas plant is the eighth ■
in the chain. The Home Mixture j
i Co and the new Americus plant wi’l \
be separate and distinct corporations
j —the Columbus company simpiv be- |
ing one of the stockriders in tin
new corporation.
There are already quite i number
i of smaller Home-Mixture guano |
■ factories in this section, plants hav

i Lumpkin, and other towns for the j
convenience of patrons.

OSCAR FIGMAN IN “THE
LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR”!
Plot of Play at Opera
House Nov. 9.
Mr. Oscar Figman who is to ap
j pear at Glover's Opera House on
I Saturday night, November 9th, j will
I be seen in “The Lightning Conduc
tor," a comedy adapted by Harry B.
I Smith from the novel of the same
name by C. N. and A. M. Williamson,
j “The Lightning Conductor” is not a
] lightning road agent of the happy
' days before the war, as might be
supposed, nor an idealized Marconi?
: Nothing so prosaic. He is a gen- !
tleman chaffeur touring France in a)
, mo,tor car. He runs across Miss Molly
Randolph, an American heiress who
is doing likewise and through a series
J of adventures, more or less laugh
j able, they come to travel in the
same car, he as a saihried chaffeur
; under the unromantic name of James
I Brown and she as his employer. That
I she falls in love with so humble a j
person as a “mecanlcien" is a terrible j
: shock to the pride of the young
j woman as she has a proper respect
i for herself and exalted matrimonial
| aspirations.
The unique adventures they have!
j together furnish no small part of j
the comedy, and Mr. Figman is par- j
j ticulariy happy in the role of John i
j Winston.

ROOSEVELT AN ISSUE*
IN TUESDAYS ELECTION
1C leveland Will Be Big.
j gest Test.
WASHINGTON, D G, Nov. 2.
(Special)—Washington officials, from
j Roosevelt down, are niani
j festing a very lively interest in Tues
day's elections, and the result iu
! many plfices will be looked upon as
j straws showing the direction of the
j political wind.
Particular interest attaches to
| the judicial and legislative contests
in New Y’ork state, the municipal el
ection in Cleveland and the guberna
torial race in New Jersey. In all of
these struggles for political suprem
acy the popularity of President Roose
velt enters as a factor, and if the
result should be largely against the
Republican candidates, it will un
, doubtedly be considered, in the anti-
Roosevelt camps, as an evidence of
the waning of the Rooseveltian prin
; j ciples and policies.
| Six states, two in the South, two
,' in the East and two in New England,
, will elect governors tomorrow. At
the present time four of these states
—Kentucky, Mississippi, Maryland and
Rhode Island —have Democratic gov
ernors, and two —Massachusetts and
, New Jersey—have Republican chief
executives.
The personality of President Roose
velt will figure to a greater extent
in the mayoralty election in Cleveland
than in any other political contest
of this year. In openly advocating
the defeat of Tom L. Johnson, the
preesnt chief executive of the Ohio
metropolis, President Roosevelt has
done a very unusual thing, and the
j result of the struggle between John-
I son and Burton may have an import
-11 ant bearing on next year's presiden
| tial campaign.
