The Bell School, besides many other things,
holds the unique position of being the representative
Faelten school of the South. The head of thw
school is located in Americus, Ga., with branches
in Albany, Montezuma, Cordele and Buena Vista,
with a faculty of seven teachers and an enrollment of
two hundred and fifty pupils.
Miss Annie May Bell, the director of the school,
is already known to music-appreciating Georgia.
Like most musicians, she has back of her a long line
of teachers. Her training began under graduates of
Conservatories of New. England and Cincinnati
After her course under Mary Pinney, Miss Beli
took the normal course at the Faelten School of Bos
ton, and has been said, here is the representative
Faelten School of the South. Miss Bell feels that
the greater part of her success is due to this system.
The work is not known to every one and a word of
explanation will not be amiss. The distinguishing
features of this system are not to be found in any
peculiar hand position or finger treatment, but rather
in the thoroughness with which the pupil’s general
musical proficiency is promoted. Concentrated at
tention, positive knowledge, intelligent ear, reliable
%
memory, fluency in sight reading and artistic piano
forte playing are developed simultaneously. It is
the logical system of transportation for beginners, and
when it can be said that in two months time a be
ginner class averaging nine years of age can be in a
lecital playing an emsemble and that in any key
called for, further comment is unnecessary.

“Calomel is of'en dangerous and

Dodson’s Liver-Tone is personally

relief in every case of sluggishness,
you have only to ask for your money

Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant

A PERIOD OF GREAT PROSPERITY
HAS DAWNED FOR SUMTER COUNTY
✓
Ample Crops Insure Good Returns to the Farmer —Lotion Crop is Better Than
Expected and With Excellent Prices Paid for it Debis Are Being Cancelled
While Bosiness Booms—Americas Merchants Optimistic.
At the Beginning of no other fall]
season in recent years has the business '
outlook in Americus appeared so i
•bright, or have Americus merchants,
warehousemen, bankers and business
men generally been more optimistic
regarding trade conditions. The feel
ing prevalent is that of absolute con
lidence; a faith backed up by abundant
crops and excellent prices for the
great staple—cotton—a condition
!
which always insures prosperity in
every line of business.
The business season really opened a
little in advance of the usual perioi.
and with cotton bringing $75 per ba! >
mere than was expected when the cr.>: I
was being cultivated, it is not surpr - •
ing that business conditions in th- '
"Gate City cf South Georgia” should In
the best. <

Go through the business district;
enter the banks and stores—each one |
a busy hive oi busy people, and the j
effect of good times in Americus is
everywhere in evidence. Farmers an

lections are ' excellent; iro clouded

counter.
Eight thousand bales of cotton,
bringing an average price of $62 per
bale, or an aggregate amount of a half
million dollars, have been sold in
Americus already and the procee is
devoted to the cancellation of the
year’s accounts and in the purchase
of goods. Thrice eight thousand bales
yet remain to be marketed within the
next ninety days—and another $1,500,-
000.000 or even more, will be circulat
ed in Americus.

ENSEMBLE CLASS WORK
I Talk about Americus and Prosper
ity. The two are united indissolubly.
The Times-Recorder, which modestly J
asserts its claim as a factor in, and j
exponent of, the prosperity of this
section, sought yesterday the expres- '
sion of opinion of a number of prom- 1
! . |
inent business men regarding condi
tions as they exist and the outlook for '
the fall season.
Mr. Carroll J. Clark, president of
I |
.the board of trade, who makes it
his business to keep tab on conditions, ’
t
locally and throughout other sections,
s firm in the opinion that south Geor
gia, as well as all of Georgia, is going I
j to enjoy a prosperous fall and winter
: -eason. Crop conditions and business
generally, according to his views, will
nake the next six months a period oi
inusual activity, with plenty of money
i
• hroughout the state.
Mr. Frank Lanier, president of the
! Americus Grocery Co., thinks the
business season will be one of the ve-y
best. With a good average cotton crop
practically assured, and better prices
for the staple than expected; with
business conditions throughout the
south seemingly satisfactory, the flood
tide of prosperity is flowing this wav.
Crawford Wheatley, representative
from Sumter county in the general as
sembly and vice president cf the Com
mercial City Bank, declares tnat tn?
crop failures elsewhere has simply
been the salvation of the farmers of
the Atlantic states. Had low prices
for cotton obtained here our farmers
could, only with utmost difficulty, sur
vived disaster. With cotton selling at
12 1-2 cents, however, $lO per bale
more than expected, they are alread
lapidly paying off their obligations to
; the banks and supply dealers fully a
1 month before'their notes are due.
“The prospect is certainly bright as
I view it,” said R. J. Perry, capital. st
and retired merchant. “I believe our
1 far'mers are going to pull out 'of th;
kinks this fall if cotton prices continue
good. It is an ill wind that blows no
goed, and the misfortune that has be
fallen the farmers of Texas has cer-
I
tainly proved the salvation of the
! farmers of Georgia. I look for a per
iod of great and unexpected prosperity
fc>r the business interests generally.’
Mayor M. M. Lowrey, who- is also
cashier of the Americus National bank
as well as the city’s chief executive,
believes that a period of great pros
perity for this section is at hand.
Bank collections are good and business
in every line is feeling the beneficial
effects cf high priced cotton.
"The crop situation in Texas and the
southwest, while a calamity to that
section, will prove the salvation cf
Georgia and the Carolinas.’’ said L. G.
I
Council, banker and warehouseman, I
while discussing conditions today. “ \
large cotton crop would have brought
calamity and ruin to our farmers here.
As it is, our cotton crop is a normal
one, good prices are being paid for
cotton, and an era of unexampled pros
perity for Georgia is at hand.”
W. E. Brown, general produce deal
'er in grain and farm supplies, declares'
that collections during the week have
been surprisingly good. “If our farm
ers continue to sell cotton at precail
ing prices," Mr. Brown said, “Sumter
county will be in a most prosperous
condition, as reflected in the fact that

j Thomas Harrold, senior member of
the house of Harrold Brothers, cotton
( worehousemen and supply dealers, : s
optimistic regarding present condi
tions. "High prices for.. cotton, ten
dollars or more per bale than expect
ed, is going to put Sumter's farmers
| upon the road to prosperity,” said
Mr. Harrold. “They are very sensibly
I
selling their cotton as fast as it is

situation from the Georgia viewpoint
is certainly most satisfactory.”

When the work under Faelten was completed
Miss Bell studied under Joseffy. Her next course
was with the celebrated concert artist Augusta Cott
low, under whom she studied both in New’ Yok
end Berlin.
Realizing that in attaining along any line one must
conquer oneself, Miss Bell and her teachers made
the giving of lessons cnaracter building. Each child
is a psychological problem to be reached. One hears
rk thing of stupidity and lack of talent in the Bed
School.
In the full course for graduation, students study in
connection with musical history, contemporaneous
history, literature and arts. This is to give them a
broader mental grasp. Miss Bell wishes to make her
graduates cultured w'omen and not musical automa
tons. The regular lines of theory, harmony, analy
sis and musical form, normal training, etc., are car
ried on simultaneously.
Along with the other w’ork of the school hers has
been the pioneer work of bringing fine artists to this
vicinity. Against tremendous odds and great dis
couragements some of the world’s best artists hav.-
been brought here, and let me add, enjoyed, too.
The people of our Southwest need to be aroused
as to what is in their midst; they need to rtfHize the
opportunities brought to their doors, the bfcst and
most advanced ideas in piano teaching given them a‘
a nominal cost.
