WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 7, 1924 AMERICUS INTERESTEO 111 EH TIETON Party Planning to Go From Here to Secure Route From Columbus to Sea I Americus is interested in secur ing the central and southern branches of the “C to Sea’ Highway which is soon to -be located, and which will extend from Columbus to the Sea at Brunswick. The high way is to be mapped upon three routes, the northern, which will go via Ellaville, Montezutna and Fitz gerald ; the central, planned to go via Ellaville, Americas, Vienna and and the southern, which |Bhiay go via Cusseta, Dawson and Al- but which Americus business men plan to have routed through here via Smithville, Leesburg and Albany. That at least the central route of this new Highway will oe located so as to pass through Americus Uas ■ already been decided, but. the lo cation of the southern route is yet to be definitely made, and this will be one of the big issues discussed at a meeting called for May 16th at Tifton. Henry P. Everett, secre tary of the Chamber of Commerce, has addressed a letter to all mem bers of that body asking all who can to make the trip to Tifton on that date, and it is expected that Ameri cus and Sumter county will be well represented at the meeting. Among those wh 0 have already pledged to go are Neil A Ray, chair man of the board of county com missioners, George 0. Marshall H. P. Everett and several others have indicated they will go along with these. The trip from Americus will be made in automobiles, and the party will go nd areturn the same day. GEORGIA TOBACCO CROP MAY BE SAVED t VALDOSTA, May 7.—J.'E. Webb says that tobacco crops injured or apparently killed by the storm last week, may be saved if the growers will go over their fields with hoes and chop off the stalk at the sur face of the ground. Sucker spring ing from the ropt, provided the root is sound, will make as good tobacco as the £u;st st,aj.w- From the sec tion south of Valdosta come reports of dimage to tobacco as well as other crops. Some farmers are in clined to the idea that the crops were whipped to death by the high wind and sand, while others think the damage was caused by some quality in the' wind that , Ur-wept the fields.

The other eye was alert in the pic ture, people who bore het names of the people I know in the play, but did not look like them. That’s an odd sensation, I can tell you—to see the same situations ap proaching other people that you have felt aproaching you! For me t 0 sit silent and inac tive in that theater was like miss* ing my cue. When the orchestra fin ished the overture and started the introductory music, I felt exactly as I do before the curtani goes up. I was just as excited, just as nerv ous. The village of Gavrillac, where the play and the picture begin, did not look familiar to me, but the chateau where Andre-Louis Jived with his foster father and his fos ter father’s niece, Aline, was exact ly as I had pictured it. In the picture, in the novel, and in the play Andre-Louis is repre sented as a boyish philosopher, a Hamlet who was forced into action only because of his heart —his love first for his friend, the Abbe, then his love for his humanity. On the screen this reluctance of the man of thought to become the man of action is clearly indicat ed in scenes that tell what happened between the events that form our first act and those which are our second—the episode of his speech to the mob at Rennes. The picture shows splendidly I think, Andre- Louis rtying to get action indirct ly by appealing to the Magistrate in he Hall of Justice to act against the powerful Marquis who has kill ed Andre’s friend, th'e Abbe. When the Magistrate refuses Andre goes into the Square and there sees ths young orator who is addressing the mob shot down. Andre is lift ed to the dead orator’s place and arouses the mob to action, —Sidney Biackner.

HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, May 7.—The Democrats already are crowing over “the presidential victory of 1924.” In partisan Democratic circles, the. battle is all over—so far as re sult? are concerned—except the de tail of counting the ballots. So cocy are the party’s “lead ers” over the ‘'certainty” of success that new stationery just ordered for use at Democratic headquarters bears no printed return card, no address—just the picture, in blood red ink, of a crowing rooster, neck arched, wings flapping, proclaiming victory. This, when not only the presiden tial and vice presidential candidates are wholly matters of speculation, but even the temporary chairman for the convention has not been de cided on! * * * Finis James Garrett of Dresden, Tenn., stands well up on the list of possible keynoters of the Demo cratic convention, however. Garrett, although only 48, is one of the seniors of Congress, in point of service. This session he com pletes 20 years in the lower house, during which time he has proven one of the steadiest, most consistent workers on he Democratic side. As one of the four Democratic mem bers of the Rules Commift.ee he is one of his prtya’s legislative' strate- ■■ . .. ... .■ . A slender, sallow southerner, is be, actually rivaling, Nick Long worth, Republican leader in the House, in point of baldness, but hiding the barren expanse of his cranial dome with,a -thin, thatch of long hair from one side, carefully combed upward and across the top. A good speaker, of the fiery, dra matic, type, Garrett doubtless could get the Democratic delegates away to a spectacular, hip-hip-hooray start. How they Would finish, well, that would be the lookout of the permanent chairman. . But if they want him to finish the job, he could do that too.'For that’s his name—Finis! * ♦ » Had he not committed himself definitely to he McAdoo candidacy, Pat Harrison of Mississippi probably would have been picked to call the convention to order. Pat is his party’s prize elephant baiter, and it is the G. 0. P. ele phant that must be trapped if the Democratic donkey is to have the range of he White House grounds these next four years. Pat’s spears of satire and ridicule pierce more deeply through the thick hide of Old Guard Republican ism than all the harpoons of abuse j that are hurled by his henchmen. A few phrases by him, a pointed question or two, often is sufficient to start an anrgy trumpeting by Sentea Republican that will last through a whole afternoon. 3 3 3 Whether as officials of the con vention or just as delegates, Demo- WALKER’S ‘The Store of Quality and Service.” THURSDAY SPECIALS 32 inch Verlan Tissues and Gilbrae Drawn Cloth, newest patterns and colorings.

From Robinson of Arkansas, party leader in the Senate, to Ferris of Michigan and Fletcher of Florida, who art seldom heard from exceptfj on roll calls, they’re looking forward 'to the convention and the campaign with an optimism and faith in the ultimate outcome that defies all rules of rhyme or reason. They are even convinced that out of the bloody battle, which all agree must be waged at New York before a leader for the campaign is chosen, the party will emerge in “perfect harmony,” without animosities, with no groups nursing grouch over black eyes and bruises, with a united spirit and will to win that will be invincilble! Convention hostilities, in fact, are counted on to deepen campaign unity. Which should prove that as op timists, -Democrats lead the world! REWARD OFFERED FOR TWO MISSING NEGROES EATONTON, May 7.Governor Walker has offered a- reward of SIOO each, for arrest of and evi dence to convict Will Allen and Jess Buchanan, who are said to be implicated in the killing of C. Har wood. The shooting occurred early in February nad the men'left' the county immediately. R. S.

JUDGE MAKES ERRONEOUS PREDICTION REGARDING LAWYER “About one clean shirt is all I thought he would ever wear.

County Agent Tells Simple Method For Protecting Birds Kept By Poultrymen Now that warm weather is com ing, according to George O. Mar shall, county farm demonstration agent, Sumter poultry raisers, un less the poultry house and yards are kept in a sanitary condition, will have trouble with mites, lice, or other poultry diseasb. A prepentive is always better than cure and if the nests are thoroughly cleaned, the old straw burned and the inside of nest house sprayed with kero sene, it will-save much worry and annoyance later, says Marshall. One of the simplest methods for keeping down lice is to provide a box of ashes in the poultry house where the birds can wallow, he says. Sodium floride may be bought at any drug store. Apply a small pinch below the vent and undqr each wing. Do not allow sodium floride to get in a cut or scratch. Mites live in cracks and crevices nbout the roost dropping IbbarL, nest, etc. The mite goes to the hen for its fill of blood and then leaves. The best treatment is to clean out house and spray thoroughly With kerosene oil, crude oil, or a very , strong disinfectant. It is not neces -1 sary to treat the hen, but special care should be given abou the roost, nest, and dropping boards. If mites are numerous it will be advisable to spray twice about a week apart. Whitewash will aid in controlling .mites. DR.

A heaping plate of delicious biscuits, a light wholesome cake, or a pan of golden yellow muffins all ready to serve in the time it takes to prepare coffee! | "I use self-rising flour because it is much more economical in every way. It requires less lard and takes less time to bake with it—all the rising ingredients have already been mixed,” writes Mrs. J. of Leland, Louisiana. Self-rising flour provides a new way to make old familiar dishes wholesome and tempting. Baking experts recom mend it heartily. For high food value it is excelled by no other flour. Try it—test it. Ask your grocer for self rising flour that carries the Blue Shield on the bag. It complies fully with alt pure food laws. FOLLOW THESE FIVE RULES For Making Perfect Biscuits with Self-Rising Flour. (1) See that your oven is hot; (2)Always use sweet milk or cold water; (3) Never add baking powder, soda or salt; (4) Use good shorten ing—lard, vegetable fat or butter; (5) Make soft dough •—'bake quickly.
