! SIDE IIGH rs ON PROGRESSIVE
! AGRICULTURE IN THIS SECTION
Jffhe progressive character of agri
culture in Sumter county is shown
in so many ways that it is difficult to
enumerate them all. Improted ma
chinery of very latest designs, has
been introduced on many farms. Lead
ing planters of the county, in several
instances, have dropped the mule to
as great an extent as possible in their
plowing, and the gasoline traction en
gine is not an infrequent sight in
some cf the great fields that are being
turned up preparatory to the planting
of cotton or corn or oats. As time
passes, the power engine will more
and more succeed mule power on
large plantations in this section.
Deep plowing i§ being resorted to
more and more in Sumter county and
•the heavy disc plows that are being
used necessitate the traction engine
or the use of four or five mules to a

plow as motive power. The old sys
tem of scratching the surface is fast
passing away. Now eight to ten
inch deep plowing is coming into
vogue, especially among the farmers
of a progressive type. The large disc
plows that are being brought into the
county are among the finest manufac
tured and other new implements of
agricuture introduced in the past
few years are in keeping with them.
More attention is also being paid to
stock, and a number cf valuable, reg
istered animals, representing consid
erable outlays of money, are now to
be found in Sumter. This applies notj
only to cattle, but to horses, hogs and
ether lines. For breeding purposes
it is recognized that the best is the
cheapest, and that the original ex
penditure is well compensated for it;
the improvement of stock generally.

This section is favored with an
abundance of pure water. Numerous
howing streams are to be L:
every section, while clear, sparkling
springs abound in nearly all parts of
the region. The annual rainfall is
sufficient and well distributed, nor is
J Southwest Georgia ever affected with
severe drouths. Owing to the mild cli
mate it is an easy matter for the far
, mer to have a complete system of wa
terworks when so desired. The cli
mate is more uniform than the cli
; mate of the North and West and the
extremely hbt and cold weather of
■ other sections is seldom experienced.
It is a climate that' tends to give health
and long life to all kinds of stock.

SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother no Donbt Pre
vents Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—" I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months,” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, “and
was down in bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctijr told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. I thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
I tool: eleven bottles, and now 1 am able
to do all oi my work and my own
washing.
1 think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture'of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you. for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.

The Sumter County corn club, with
David Wicker, superintendent of farm
demonstration for the countv, at its

in the employ of the national govern
ment as a demonstrator for several
years. He has accomplished a lot in

by him.
ATLANTA POLICEMEN
MUST BE COURTEOUS
Atlanta, Sept. 15.—The theory, new
to Atlanta, that, a policeman on duty
is not a boss of creation but a public
servant who must be polite to the
people who employ him, is embodied Ir
the plan announced by Chief Beavers
of establishing a night school cf et’-
ctuette beginning tomorrow night.
The police force will be divided in
to three school divisions, or platoons,
and all the men will be required to
attend. The principal object is to
make the patrolmen courteous instead
ot gruff and overbearing.

k Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach th®
diseased portion of the ear. There is only on*
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution
: ai remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed
1 condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
j Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
I it is entirely closed Deafness Is tbfe result, and
! unless the inflammation can be taken out and
i this tube restored to Its normal condition, hear-
I lng will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
1 ten are caused bv Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

THE NEW WINDSOR
HOTEL IS MODEL
Popular Hotel Pleases Every
Visitor to City
The Windsor Hotel is the finest hos
t lry in any town of 20,000 people sou. j
of the Mason and Dixon line. It i->
modern in every respect. Traveling
men state freely that it is unexcelled
in Georgia.
The building occupied by the hotel
takes up half a block in the principal
part of town. It is five stories high
and is a masterpiece of architecture.
The hotel maintains its own light
' I
ing plant and refrigerating system. It
has a private artesian well that fur
nishes a continuous stream of clear
water to the hotel.
The cuisine of the hotel is the best. |
A first class chef is in charge of the
kitchen. Old fashioned southern cook-j
i
ng and mod rn Frenchy dishes can |
both be secured. Traveling men say
i uat the new Windsor has the largest j
and test sample room in the state. It
:s on the top floor and is cool in the
summer and warm in the winter. There
U plenty of floor space for all. The
sample rooms have been re-built with
:n the past few months. They were
damaged by fire last spring and now
*
they are in better shape than ever.

AMERILUS WILL BE TERMINUS
Americus, Tilton and Atlantic
to Traverse Rich Ter
ritory
Americus is soon to have a third
-ailroad. The preliminary survey •.<
the Americus, Tifton and Atlantic has
been completed and actual construc
tion work will be begun and pushed
forward as rapidly as possible within
the next six months.
fThis road will run from Americus
to Tifton and will pass through <
territory so far untraveled by rail
roads. Americus will be the term
inus of one end of the line and Tifto.i
will be the other, ft is tlje purpose of
those behind the movement to extend
the line to Brunswick as soon as prac
tical.
The territory that will be travers >d
by the new road is rich in natural re
sources. Productive farm lands and
forests of timber will furnish as much
freight as the road can handle. Several
towns will be touched by the road. Ai
Ashburn connections will be made
with the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida.
All arrangements as to financing the
project have been completed according
to reports and in a short while it i 3
expected that Americas will hear the
whistles cf another road.

♦ CORN AND VELVET BEANS ♦
♦ FOLLOWS OAT CROP. *•
I planted corn and velvet beans on
very poor land —land like the negro’s
horse that had been worked and work
ed and not fed.
I planted this land in oats October
thirtieth and harvested them May
thirtieth. The yield was forty-six
bushels per acre. I planted the corn
and beans June fourth. I estimate the
corn yields at twent-eight bushels and
the beans were simply immense. Very
respectfully, M. B. COUNCIL.

Are you tired of eking out au exis
tence? Weil come over into Sumter
and buy a farm. It will pay for itself
and before you know it you’ll be inde
pendent.
