(Scribner’s Magazine.)
A vast new land, half wakened to the
wonder
Os mighty strength; great level
plains that hold
Unmeasured wealth; and the prophet
ic thunder
Os triumphs yet untold.
A land of eager hearts and kindly
faces, 'l
Lit by the glory of a new-born day;
Where every eye seeks the far distant
places
Os an untraveled way.
Oh, generous land! Oh mighty in
spiration
~ That floods the morning of the world
to be!
Thy peonle are the builders of a na
tion,
Lofty, benignant, free.
Yet, as a trivial word, a star's clear
gleaming,
‘ A bird’s sweet song, a sunset fading
fast.
There comes a longing for the home
land, dreaming
Upon its sacred past.
A land of dear, remembered faces,
moving
Through happy days that had to
have an end;
Each stream is a companion known
and loving,
-o And every hill a friend.
I ’
A longing to behold the mountains
rearing
Their great, gaunt heads; and once
again to be
Upon the barren, wind-swept head
land, hearing
The surges of the sea.
—Henry Adams Bellows.

There are still some conventions that
Aiave not been held in Americus. We
must keep going after them until we
get them.
When it comes to offering induce
ments for June-time conventions there
is no city of its size in the South that
can excel Americus.
Lowndes county is scrapping over
the stock law. The idea of any live,
intelligent, progressive community let
ting stock run at large!
Help to make the new railroad pro
ject a success. It means much to
the future development of the city’s
business in every department.
The South Carolina Society ought to
lie reaching out this fall to bring more
citizens in from the Palmetto State
Sumter county will welcome them.
It isn’t every city of the size of
this that can afford to reach out fo r
convention after convention. Americus
i>- somewhat in a class by itself in this
respect, it has the goods and is will
ing to show them.
• “No one ever saw Underwood's cheek
unduly flushed.” says a writer in Har
per’s Weekly. But as a candidate he’s
a "royal flush,” just the same. There
*e none of the ‘four-flusher” about 1
Fun, though. He’s a good one to'
draw to, and the party would do well
k 1c take him up as its standard-bearer.'
COL. “BILL” DODSON, PLANTER,
SUMTER COUNTY.
An exchange, from whose clipping
we accidentally omitted the credit,
declares in effect that, judging from
reports, the halcyon life must be that
of a planter in Sumter county, with
land vlues going up steadily as an ad
dition to the profits of the year's work.
The writer had the right idea of it
The halcyon life of the day undoubt
edly is that lead by the successful
planter of Sumter county, the man
who owns his own farm, who knows
how to farm, and who believes in get
ting the good things out of life along
with the labor.
To him all things are possible.
Broad, level highways reach from his
door to the city, and to all other
parts of the county, telephones con
nect him with his neighbors, and with
the markets, autos make trips to town
a sheer delight, health and strengtli
and good living are his, and the end
of the season, as the editorial com
menter intimates, generally finds his
bank balances larger, or his posses
sions of land broader. Really he ’s
the man to be envied, occupying a
position far superior in its ease, its
independence, its comforts, its pleas
ii-es, to that of the merchant or the
professional man in town.
The city folks realize this, too. Take
our well known townsman, Col. “Bill’
Dodson, for instance. The story they
tell of him exemplifies the standing
of the Sumter county planter at home
and abroad.
Col. Dodson went to New York a
couple of summers ago, combining
business and pleasure in the proper
doses, homeopathic as to the former,
and very liberally “old school” as to
the latter.
Entering the Waldorf-Astoria to
register the clerk obsequiously turned
the register to the gentleman from
Georgia.
There was not a moment’s pause. As
the clerk glanced at the name and ad
dress he brightened up and his hand
went out to grasp that of the colonel.
There, in his biggest chirography,
stood out this magic “open sesame”:
“Col. William A. Dodson, Planter,
Sumter County, Georgia."
“Show the gentleman from Georgia
to Suite 23,” said the clerk in his
most czar-like tone to the uniforme i
minion, and then, tu "ning to the Sum
terite, remarked: “Vl 1 a private stt
| ting room, bedroom and bath be suf
ficient, colonel? We are somewhat
I crowded."
The “planter from Sumter” county
was equal to the occasion.
I “Yes; oh, yes, if that is all that >.s
, open.”
Never was a man more sedulously
I waited upon—so the story goes—than
| the planter from Sumter. It was a
tribute to the power of the three
words, “Planter,” “Sumter,” and
“Georgia,” a winning combination
wherever men are intelligent and
| posted.
j Yes, to be a Sumter county planter
| : s to enjoy a halcvon-like life. Every
day to such a lucky man is like a day
| in his first honeymoon,
And as Col. “Bill” is said to have
afterwards remarked, “It’s a pleasure
to pay the bill, with a smile on your
fare, to know that the world recog
nizes the standing of a planter in this
most favored of God's favored coun
ties.”
What would Teddy do to Taft if the
situation were reversed and Teddy
was engineer in charge of the steam
j roller?
The Atlanta gubernatorial commit
tee of the Smith faction, several ex
changes intimate, are now looking for
another sacrificial lamb.
As Josephus Daniels, of North Caro
jlina, views it, Democracy must put up
| a progressive to combat either Taft,
the conservative, or Roosevelt, the
erratic.
The Savannah Press is kind enough
to intimate that the men who told Torn
j Hudson to “mortgage his little farm ’
I had in mind the recent “tremendous
jumps in values of Sumter county
farms.” Maybe it was that way.
Americus is growing right along, but
that is not sufficient. We want it to
grow more rapidly and on a substan
tial basis. The new railroad would
help materially in that direction.
The public somehow', refuses to
warm up over the gubernatorial race.
It is but a few w'eeks before the pri
mary, but the people are not ripping
their skirts or losing any sleep over
the candidates.
The canning clubs of Georgia re
cently had a convention at Athens.
I’v the way, is there a canning club in
Sumter? With our opportunity here
to raise all kinds of vegetables and
small fruits for canning purposes ev
ery girl who expects to become a
housewife—and w’hich one doesn't—
ought to understand the art of can
ng.
Gov. Brown ought to institute suit
in the Tallulah Falls case. He can
not fall behind the attorney general’.*
decision, it clearly left the way open
for a suit. That would hold the mat
ter up until the legislature had an
opportunity to act. The people of
Georgia might not be unwilling to pay
a proper price for the falls, not ex
tortionate, of course, but a reasonable
valuation by appraisement.
Roosevelt’s bluff didn't go dowm. Ev
en his own committeemen could not
but acknowledge that many of the con
tests were a farce, with no legs to
stand on. The feeling is that Roose
velt hurt his candidacy by resorting
to them.
Huckleberries are coming in freely
now. Watermelons are reaching their
most perfect stage. Peaches and
cream loom up for a month to come.
The girls are wearing their prettiest
and looking their sweetest. Life is
worth the living in old Sumter.
“Jimmy” Garfield says the conven
tion will undo the “raw work” of the
national committee. But as Taft prom
ises to control the convention as a
result of the “raw w’ork,” it is hard
to see where Garfield’s claim comes
in.
A scarcity of fishing poles is re
ported at Valdosta. This is serious.
The good old summer time without
fishing poles is almost equal to an ab
sence of blackberries or a shortage
in the melon supply.
The Valdosta Times says, “Tom
Hudson is being applauded all over
the state for his refusal to make him
self a burnt offering to the cause with
out being given even a smell of the
barbecue sauce.”
Now arises a scientist who declares
the human race is petering out be
cause it is raised on a bottle. Does
he mean the bottle of infancy, or the
one that cones with a bird later on?
LILLIAN AT HER

Pittsburg, Pa., June 13.—Lillian Rus

yesterday in a hotel to Alexander P.
Moore, editor of the Pittsburg Leader.
Only relatives and intimate friends of
the couple attended. Mrs. Moore, who
is here with a theatrical company, left
at midnight for the East, and about
the same time Mr. Moore started for
Chicago to attend the republican con
vention.
Nat Goodwin was among those who

THEY’RE NOT LIKE THAT
IN THESE MODERN DAYS
Boston, Mass., June 13.-—Aa pair of
shoes in possesion of James O’Sulli
van, an India street marchant, have
been lying around since the spring
of 1859. They are still serviceable,
though out of fashion and look good
for another century or so of wear.
The shoes were actually worn for two
years steadily in England, and then
saw service in Australia, where thev
were in use off and on, for some eigh
teen years. Afterward, when Mr.
O’Sullivan came to America, he used
them in the work on the Ashland dam,
where he was a construction foreman.
ELBERTA PEACH CROP
IS SOLD FOR BIG SI M
Augusta, Ga„ June 13.—The largest
single deal ever made for peaches in
this section of the south was that
closed by R. C. Berckmans & Brother,
in which the entire yield of the May
field orchards is sold to a Newark, N
J., firm, as the fruit stands on the
trees, for a minimum price of $75,000
and a maximum price og SIOO,OOO.
Shipments will begin next week ami
are expected to go beyond 100 car
loads.
MAN 76 STEALS LOVE OF

Baltimore, June 13.—A verdict of
$1,500 has been returned here against
Eugene H. Brown, 76 years old, for
alienating the affections of Mrs. Mar
garet Willie, 36 years old. Brown
will pay the verdict, and says the fun

OEOKOIt PEACHES AHE
NOW GOING NORTH
The Movement is Now at Its
Height
Atlanta, Ga„ June 13.—The Georgia
peach is flying northward this week.
The movement has almost reached its
height and the railways between At
lanta and the east are being taxed to
handle the enormous shipments.
Special trains, operated on passen
ger schedules and cutting the time
from Atlanta to New York to 26 hours,
are carrying the cars of iced fruit.
The peaches, by car lots, are coming
to Atlanta daily, and the yards are
busier than at any time in the past
year, making up fast trains for east
bound traffic. Atlanta is the concen
tration point for ail fruit from south
Georgia points, and most of the work
is done at night when the daily busi
ness i.s out of the way.
Ehe Central of Georgia and other
railway, anticipating a big crop, have
been preparing for weeks, moving
empty cars southward and storing
them in yards, enlarging the ice plant
at Inman yards, Atlanta, and arrang
ing schedules that will cause no de
lay in the transmission of the perish
able freight. It is believed that there
will be an ample supply of cars this
season, even for the phenomenal crop
expected.
The ice plant at Inman yards had
been enlarged and overhauled. Tracks
and platforms have been extended to
permit the handling of 24 cars at one
time, and only 15 minutes is required
to ice this number properly. The dou
ble tracking of the Southern railway
is expected to be completed this week,
! giving the road great facilities for the
rush fruit season.
BREATHITT’S BRAVE MEN HIDE
WHILE WOMEN TILL THE SOIL
Lexington, Ky., .Tune 13.—Failure to
arrest the assassins of Ed Callahan,
famous feud leader in the Breathitt
< ounty clan war, and manifestations
of increasing bitter feeling between
the Callahans and the Smith-Deaton-
Johnson clans since the murder give
rise to apprehension of a renewal of
the feud and farmers in the Long
Creek section of Breathitt are afraid to
till their fields. Women and children
are planting and cultivating the crops.
Callahan was shot from ambush
when he inadvertently appeared at
the window in his store. Once before
he was shot and wounded in the same
manner, that time having gone to the
porch. A stockade was built from his
house to the store and for a year he
had kept out of view. Callahans
trouble with the Deatons arose
through his separation from his first
wife who was a Deaton.

♦ THE STORE WHICH STOOD ♦

♦ ♦
♦ Within a week there has passed ♦
♦ away in Aurora, 111., the proprie- ♦
♦ tor of “the store which stood 4
4 still.” To be sure the sign above ♦
♦ the door did not carry this phrase ♦
♦ but it might have been there. *
4 Personally, this merchant was a ♦
♦ likeable man. Engaging in busi- 4
♦ ness in the late fifties he was ex- ♦
♦ ceedingly prosperous for about ♦
♦ ten years, and from then on his ♦
♦ became “the store which stood *

4- While other stores adopted new 4
4 methods and new firms came into 4
♦ being he clung to the old and 4
♦ was satisfied to care for what ♦
4 business came to him through 4
♦ friends, while mere shops became ♦
4 large establishments on all sides 4
♦ of him. 4
4 One of his competitors worked ♦
4 for him as a boy. When he went 4
4 into business he made a contract ♦
♦ with The Beacon to run an ad- 4
4 vertisement each week. He used 4
4 this space to tell about his little 4
♦ store. As his business grew his ♦
4 advertising appropriation was in- 4
♦ creased, and it was not long un- 4
4 til his former employer was no ♦

4 if a week or two ago you had 4

4 hoopskirt, several styles would ♦
4 have been placed before you for 4
4 choice. If your great-grand- 4
4 mother had expressed a wish for 4
4 Paisley shawl, you would have ♦
4 found it there, along with candle 4
4 snuffers, haircloth, nubias and 4
4 mitts in the “store which stood 4
4 still.” ♦
4 There are a few siores in Amer- 4
4 ieus which are running the risk 4
4 of standing still. Their proprie- 4
♦ tors can scarcely persuade them- 4
♦ selves that Times-Recorder read- 4
4 ers do really read “store news” <

4 therefrom. 4
4 Even though a store stands still 4

4 Americus are buying advertised t
4 merchandise. 4
