SUMTER'S PART
RURAL MILEAGE
EXCEEDED SBOO
Sumt# county will receive from the
state treasury this week the goodly
sum of $876 this being our portion
of the automobile tax money collected
by the state and which fund of very
nearly SIOO,OOO Is to be distributed
among the 148 counties in pruportion
to rural mileage of each county. Sum
ter boasts 395 miles on her rural mail
routes, and is thus entitled to $876,
the distribution being $2.22 per mile.!
In the 148 counties of the state there !
are 41,696 miles of rural mail routes,
which is not far from the estimate
I made some weeks ago. To these 148
counties the sum of $92,739.58 will
be distributed by Treasurer Speer.
Each, county will receive payment
on a basis of $2.22 per mile, so it will j
be comparatively easy for any county
to take the rural route mileage in the
county and figure out how much will
be due.
Carroll county leads the state in
the number of miles, 688, with Cobb a
close second, with 667. Laurens has
664 and Gwinnett 618. Hhese are the
only counties in the 600 class, but
there are many with 500 or more.
Fannin and Mclntosh will not re.
ceive a cent, as neither has a mile of
rural route. Glynn has only 44, Charl
ton 54, Dade 58. Ten counties have
less than 100 miles.
Bibb will receive $469.32, and has
754 machines registered ;Richmond
gets $451.52 and has 667 machines
registered; Carroll will receive sl,-
525.80, and has 179 machines regis
tered; Fulton will get $453.75 and has
close to 4,000 machines registered.
Other South Georgia counties with
the number of rural routse follow:
Sumter county, 395 miles; Crisp,
240; Lee, 182; Macon, 248; Macon,
282; Randolph, 415; Stewart, 250;
Schley, 121; Webster, 159; Dougherty,
152; Houston, 416; Dooly, 403.

WEBSTEfiIOTED
FOR COURTHOUSE
BONDSSATHRDAY
Sumter’s progressive neighbor,
Webster county, in the election held
Saturday for bonds for erection of a
new courthouse, carried the measure
through by a handsome plurality and
the new and modern courthouse build
ing will take the place of the one re
cently destroyed by fire. In the elec
tion for or against the bond issue 281
votes were cast for bonds and only
three votes contra. The issue will be
in the sum of $15,000, the bonds ex
tending over a period of twenty years
with six per cent, interest, thus ren
dering them an absolutely safe and
very desirable investment. This
amount, $15,000, v?ith the $3,000 insur
ance upon the burned building, will
insure to Webster cocnty a modern
brick courthouse, plans for which are
being prepared already.

OESTROfS PLANT
WILLIAMS FARM
GINNERY AND BARN BURNED—
FORTY BALES COTTON AND
SEED DESTROYED
Another disastrous ginbouse fire,
the second one within a day and en
tailing heavy financia’ loss, wiped out
the ginhouse and barns on the fine
1 farm of Mr. W. J. Williamson, five
miles west of Amerieus, at an early
hour Sunday morning. Besides the
I ginning plant, a valuable one, forty
| bales cotton and a large quantity of
cotton seed were burned, together with
the guns and all equipment.
The fire quickly spread to the large
barn near at hand which was likewise
destroyed, with all of the corn, hay,
oats and other feedstuff. The hand
some residence, fortunately, was not
1 burned.
1 The fire was undoubtedly of incen-
diary origin and one suspected party
e has since been arrested and jailed
L here. The loss, aggregating several
l ’ thousand dollars, falls heavily upon
Mr. Williamson as he had no insurance
upon either buildings or cotton. Only
a few days before he had insured his
dwelling, but did not deem it neces
sary to insure the ginning plant.
Mr. Williamson bought the farm
|| from Mr. E. L. Bell, who, by strange
' coincidence, lost his own ginnery
by fire the day before, entailing heavy
loss with very little insurance,

Strength and Twenty-four
j Pounds by Taking Vinol.
Corinth, Mis 3.: —“I am a city tax
' collector and seventy-four years of age.
i I was in a weak, run-down condition so
| that I became exhausted by every little
I exertion. My druggist told me about
I Vinol, and I decided to take it. In a
| week I noticed considerable improve-
I ment; I continued its use and now I
have gained twenty pounds in weight,
| and feel much stronger. I consider
j Vinol a fine tonic to create strength for
j old people.”—J. A. PRICE, Corinth,
| Miss.
As one grows old their organs act
I more slowly and less effectually than in
. ! youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges
-5 j tion weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
. and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener
1 and body builder for old folks because
-! it creates a good healthy appetite,
, strengthens digestion, enriches the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
and invigorates feeble, run-down, nerv
ous and aged people, and if it does not do
all we say, we will pay back your
money.
