Americas May Thus Secure Fertilizer
Plant.
Not a Tery great many years ago,
when the citizens of Americas began
investing largely in manufacturing en
terprises, a fertilizer plant was includ
ed among others. It wae a home in
Nuptials of Mrs. Cobb and Mr. Sims
last Evening.
An occasion of much interest in Am*
ericus was the marriage of Mrs. Amoret
G. Cobb anil Mr. Samuel R. Sims,
which occurred at 8:39 o’clock last
evening at Furlow Lawn Baptist

Americas men, and always paid good
dividends.
In fact, no other enterprise here at
tained such satisfactory results, and in
a few years the stock more than doub
led in value.
At a later date, however, the control
passod into other hands.
It is now quits evident that if Ameri-
cue is ever to have a fertilizer plant our
people must “go back to first princi
ples" and build it, as they did beforo.
There is plenty of money here seeking
profitable investment. Why not build
a fertilizer plant. -
It seems a fallacy to hopo that the
concern owning the remnant of the
once fine plant here wili ever rebuild
it. Promises are easily made, cost
nothing and are not binding.
Next season the farmers of Sumter
will buy guano made in Albany.
Unless, of course, they help thorn-
selves as suggested, or buy their goods
from agents outside the trust. There
are several of those here, and there will
be others.
The Times-Recorder believes that a
capital stock of $50,000 can bo raised
here for a fertilizer plant. The farmers
will subscribe liberally tberoto. Put
tho shares at $10 each and make it a
popular enterprise, in which all can
invest.
Let it be strictly a home enterprise,
managed wholly by home people, and
everyone will work for its success.

tives and immediate friends of the
young couple.
The marriage rites were solemnized
by tho pastor, Rev. R. L. Bivins.
No young people here were more
generally esteemed, and their wide
popularity rendered the occasion one
of interest to many friends here as in
other cities of the state.
No formal invitations were issued,
but at the appointed hour, aooompani-
ed by immediate friends juid relatives
only, the young couple drove to the
churob where Rev. R. L. Bivins await
ed to receive their marriage vows. It
was a quiet but very pretty wedding
withal.
The bride is a young woman of
beauty and culture, with a host of
friends to wish her every happiness in
life. Mr. Sims is a sterling young
business man and deservedly popular
here.
After the ceremony at the church the
bridal party returned to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor,1 whero
they will reside for the present and
where many friends had assembled to
extend their congratulations. A tempt
ing menu was served at ten o’clock.
A number of very handsome wedding
gifts attested the popularity of the
brido and groom.
BARBECUE A GREAT OCCASION.

There-
Americas’ fortunate few who attend

or two since ore at homo again and de

For obvious reasons the professional
politicians who usually crowd in upon
such occasions were conspicuously ab
sent at this Mossy Dell feaBt, and only

The cue was arranged by the Lee
county friends and neighbors of Hon.
Phil Cook, secretary of state, who in
vited several Atlanta friends to be his
guests. Thoso gatherings aro ar
ranged annually, and are always most
enjoyable. An Amerious guest de

BABY’S BUSINESS
A healthy baby is comfort-
able; and thatjs enough for a
baby. His business in life is
to grow. r
Aside from acute diseases,
his food is the cause of most
of his troubles. But Scott’s
emulsion of cod-liver oil deliv
ers him from it.
He isn’t sick; only a little
hitch, somewhere, in his ma
chine for turning food into
growth.
. It is a great thing to do, for
a baby, to help him over a hitch
with mere food—the emulsion
is food that has the tact to get
there.
The tact to get there is med
icine.

Cupid Had a Round With a Dusky
Brace.
When a black couple from the conn
try walked into the courthouse at noon
yesterday and planked down (k dollar,
the loungers outside filed in as one
man to hear sentence passed and eeo
the usual osoulatory explosion. The
bride was of the hue of a black cat
wallowed in charcoal, and the mos
quito net worn as a bridal veil but
served to heighten her eolor. The
groom only had enough money to buy
the license, and Justice Ansley
would’nt credit him for 'the marriage
fee. But bis prospective mother-in-
law standing by, and who already had
accumulated a look that meant war
next week, volunteered to put up the
collateral rather than see the festivi
ties sawed off. Judge Analeyf pocket-
cd the “wheel” threw out his tobacco,
celled time and tied tho knot as some
400 people surged about the matrimo
nial gallows. The wedded pair “sa
luted" the kiss sounding like a muf
fled fire alarm, and then started down
the warpath of life together with the
mother-in-law well up on the firing
line and ready for trouble.
Philadelphia, May 18 —Contrary to
expectation, th» Presbyterian general
assembly did not discuss ihe report of
the committee on revision, which was
today presented to the commissioners.
A minority report was also laid before
the assembly, and it is probable that the
quesliou will not come up for considera
tion until next Thursday. It will -at
least be delayed until subjeots of more
personal interest aro out of the way.
Today’s session wa, cnlleti to order at
9:30 by Moderator Minton, and after tho
usual devotional exercises reports of
special committees were presented. Ap
pended to the report of the twentieth
centnry fund committee were a number
of resolutions which the assembly were
asked to adopt. They were:
••That tho general ussembly calls upon
every churoh iu the denomination still
burdened with indebtedness, aud thus
hindered from giving its full share to
missions and benevolence, to take steps
under the inspiration of this movement
to remove this indebtedness wtthiu tho

Capt. John A. Cobb, one of the moat
extensive and successful farmers of
Sumttr county, told the Times-Ke-
eorder yesterday that the wheat crop,
now about ready to bo harvested, was
perhaps the largest in acreage os well
as the best ho bad ever seen grow in
this section.
There will be buscuit in plenty in
Sumter this summer.
Not in years has such a large num-
U,/ of farmers planted wheat, the
fields ranging from the five acre
“patch” to tho hundred acre field of
the farmer who believes in raising his
supplies.
Copt. Cobb planted twenty acres in
wheat for forage and ie now entting
this crop. Horses and stock general
ly eat it ravenously, and as it comes
off three to four weeks earlier than
oats it supplies stoek until the latter
crop ia harvested and also prevents r

Capt. Cobb has traveled extensive
