WILL MEET IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA, May 13.—The annual
meeting of the Southern Commercial
Teachers Association will be held
here in November, according to an

ker, secretary-treasurer of the or

NEW GARBAGE DISPOSAL
PLAN BEING CONSIDERED
COLUMBUS, May 13.—A survey
is being made in Columbus in ccn
nection with a proposed new method
of handling garbage. B. H. Welton,
of the Highway Tractor Company,
of Edgerton, Wis., is in the city,
and made an inspection yesterday
with Homer Cornett, who is tin
charge of garbage disposal here.
The company, which Mr. Welton
represents, has installed in a num
ber of cities the tractor-trailor
method. Under that plan the garb
age is collected daily in various sec
tions of the city and placed in trail
ers, the vehicles being taken to a
point where a garbage train hauled
by- a tractor, passes. They are then
connected to the train and taken
to the city dump. This plan, it is
stated, saves long hauls from vari
ous sections of the city by each
garbage wagon.

balance $19,563.73, according to the
report.
It was pointed out that the audi
tors’ report shows, in addition to
the results of the year 1923, figures
for the first three months of 1921
pertaining, to state funds .for the
previous year.
Disbursements for the year end
ed December 31, 1923, and three
months ended March 31, 1924, for
the general office and eleven road
divisions was reported as $1,764.-
582.07. Road construction for the
general office and eleven divisions
was reported as $539,660.67.
On January 1, 1924 there were
102 active projects, fifteen <f
ich were bridge projects, and
667.3 miles of road under construc
tion, according to the report. Os
the 102 projects, fifty-four are be

part by the county forces in which
the projects are located.
In connection with the report, it
was stated that “the state highway
department recently located office
and shop at East Point and the
iand, building and equipment arc all
paid for and deed for iand on rec

The report added: “The mainten
ance force throughout the state have
been supplied with suitable and ef
ficient equipment, ail of which has
been paid for. In addition to the
regular maintenance section forces
and equipment, there has been eslab
lished twenty-seven heavy outfits
capable of making heavy better
ments. Eighteen reconstruction out
fits have been fully equipped and
are at work rebuilding roads. These
roads are being straightened, grad
ed, drained, widened, scarified, and
soil adde where needed. These out
fits will reconstruct four or five,
hundred miles of roads this year. Ar
ter being rebuilt they will be al
most as good as federal aid pro
jects. All old obligations of the
state highway- department have bet i.
paid and the department is out of
debt.”

declared that there are today move
farm mortgages on the books o;.
Sumter county than ever before.
“But, gentlemen, we have at last
found a plan to pay off those m< rt
gages; a plan that if followed, will
produce a maximum crop of cotton
in this county under any weather
conditions that may prevail,” said
Judge Hixon
“It comes from the highest au
thorities. It has been tested and
it works. I have tested it and it
w-orked right here for me. This
plan will make a crop this year in
this county if followed
“Last year we got about one-third
of a crop, roughly $2,000,000. It
is a simple matter of mathematics
to figure what a maximum crop
would bring. We lost last year sl,-
000,000. If you gentlemen do what
our committee ask you to 10, that
is provide this loa~n fund of $20,-
000, I am satisfied that in the' next
10 days we will add $2,000,000 to
the value of our 1924 cotton crop.
Is that worth going after? Could
we use it here this fall,”
The speaker stated that the com
mittee had carefully gone int 0 the
cost of poisoning in the county
that the total cost will be SIBO,-
000; that one-third of the farmers,
maybe less, but to be safe that one
third could not procure poison.
Therefore the loan fund is abso
lutely essential, he said.
The speaker again cited results
accomplished in Carroll county,
where 10,000 hales were added to
the crop by following the plan
being, used in Sumter. He al o
spoke of a farm in Calhoun, where
before the boll weevil came pro
duced 160 to 175 bales a year.
“Last year under the plan we arc
using, this farm picked 200 bales,
and they had as much and more ra ! n
than we bad here in Sumter,” the
Judge declared.
J. D. Hooks, speaking at some
length on the necessity of immed
iate and quick work, said that Sum
ter county cotton is farther advanc
ed than any he had seen and hq
has just returned from a trip that
covered several states
Cotton is like peaches, it can not
Ibe produced without poison and
early poisoning at that,” said Mr.
Hooks. ‘To wait for 10 per cent
infestation is to lose your crop.
Suppose we peach men waited for
10 per cent infestation. We would
not sell a bushel of peaches. Our
farmers must realize that t 0 get the
■weevil, we roust get him now, at
the very beginning. The wa y to
stop a hen from laying eggs is to
cutt off her head. The way to
stop the weevil is to get her before
she lays any eggs.”
A resolution, offered by Rotarian
Fess Mathis, second by Evan Mathis
president of the Kiwanis club, ex
pressed confidence in the commit
tee and its plans and pledged the
aid and sympathy of the civic clubs.
Declaring that this fight is the
affair of every business man in
Americus because hiss success t'tis
fall depends on the 1924 cotton crop
,Lovelace Eve said the meeting last
night was not a representative one
and definite action wa spostponed
for tonight, Tuesday, at 7:30 p . in.
ALL MILITIA DISTRICT
COMMITTEES MEET
At the courthouse Tuesday morn
ing, reresentatives from. every
district were present, to from a
permanent organization and to hear
Mr. J. C. Maness, who returned to
carry on this morning on the cam
paign.
Judge J. A. Rixon was elected
permanent chairman and the plans
of the district committees were be
ing perfected during the noon
hour.
Mr. Maness was greatly delighted
at the attendance of the morningf
meeting, where both bankers and i
farmers gatheed for a consultation,
“I am back here to help you dirt
farmers grow cotton said Mr Manes
“and to grow a normal crop too
not a half cop. W ith a normal
crop you can pay your debts to the
merchants and to the bankers.
Without a normal crop this year I
do not know what will happen to
you. But I do know that if you
are broke now, that with a poor
crop this year, you’ll have lots of
company this fall. The interest of
the merchant and the banker is
tied up in your crop, and a normal
crop this year will be salvation of
all.
“Now listen to rtie and get this
straight. I know what 1 am saying
for 1 have tested and studied this
plan along with many other men
for many years. Here’s what I
want you to know—
“By the proper use of calcium
arsenate, with proper cultural meth
ods, you can make a normal crop
of cotton in Sumter county this
year. This plan has not failed in
any county in the state.
“A man is just as safe in putting
his money in cotton now as he ever
was, provided the farmer follows
the plan w& outline.
$2,000,000 THE STAKE
IN CAMPAIGN
v “But you must begin now. The
next ten to fifteen days will abso
lutely determine the size of your
crop this year. Fifteen days at the
outside, is all the time you have.
After that will be too late. You
have $2,000,000 at stake. Is it
worth going after. You know
whether you need, it, 1 do not. You
know what shape your farmers
merchants and bankers are in. I
do not. But Ido know that there’s
$2,000,000 in the balance.
“If you merchants, bankers and
farmers idle around until cotton is
fruited, well, you’d best stop now,
save your time and efforts. To wait
for 10 per cent infestation is sim
ple suicide. Would you wait until
10 per cent of' your barn had burn
ed before you stated to put out the
fire? Well, the same thing is true
of the weevil. After he gets a
10 per cent start, you can’t stop
him. No body has. That’s why you
lost out last year and that’s why
lots of other counties laughed at
you last year,” said Mr. Maness.
Here the speaker outlined his
plan, which will be published in
full tomorrow. Pamphlets will be
printed and distributed free by this
paper, giving the plan in detail and
in simple language. Mr. Maness
and George O. Marshall are at work
on the copy to day.
Some one asked Mr. Maness
when a farmer could go fishing
during the growing season. “I’ll
tell you farmers,” he said. “ When
you see tjre boll weevil with a pole
over his shoulder and a bucket of
bait in his hand, then is the time
and only time you can afford to
go fishing until after the poisoning
season is passed.”
Frank Sheffield, president of
the Bank of Commerce, was the
next speaker. “Mr. Maness,” he
said, “you have given me more en
couragement than I have ever had
before. Your speech is a message
of assurance. I am glad to hear you
say we ar? broke, f have felt that
until we are broke that we would
not change our farming methods.
BANKERS BACKING
CAMPAIGN TO LIMIT
“As a banker I agree with you
and your plan. I believe in early
poisoning. The banks will do their
part in this campaign; they will
do all in their power to supply the
necessary equipment to the farm
er who determines to follow your
plan.
“Os course, the bank is a trustee.
The money in its vaults belongs
to his depositors. Customers must
be reasonable, remembering that
the depositor must b e protected.
“To your farmers, I say don’t
put all your money into one crop.
The farmer who does is like the
banker who let one man have all
his money. If he fails, the mon
ey’s gone.”
L. G. Council, president of the
Planters Bank, said he thought he
