Sumter oonnty farmers will save more meat this winter then for a number of years past. That’s the real road to prosperity. Now that Americas has bsen success fully worked by the mailbox swindler, we will be marked victims for all the other fakirs. “Hello, Amerious; this is Lumpkin” I The Times Reeordtryesterday morn ing undertook to waru our citizens . 7 against the “p-jvate mailbox swindle” I? . mornin * tha assignment made be the first message to come should it he attempted here, but the ^ *** ° eorei “ • Conference tor warning came too la'e Not a few peo Judges. Montgomery has been ill for a day or two, tbe result of a fall sus tained recently. His condition is now -juito feeble. But three weeks of the old year re main. Americas has done much this year, and is going to make even greater strides in 1903. Not a few of “the boys” are picking ont oity j obj for next year. But what the Connoil it going to do about it re mains to be seen. Pie who resd the note of warning knew they were the victims of a sharper. for, veiily, the sleek rascal had already worked the town. The press dispatches told of the com ing of a man to Rome who fraudulent ly took orders for letter boxes, repre- seating himself as a poslofflee employe sent ont by the department He pocketed tbe cash for tbe imagi nary boxes, which, he said, would bo forwarded right away. Thinking that the rascal might in- olnde Americus iu his itinerary the Times Reorder published the warn ing, only to learu yesterday from sur prised citizsns that he had been here but a few days before and thoroughly cleaned up this dead easy town in taking ‘ orders ’’ No one knows just bow many doz Tbe tnrk that ran tbe Thanksgiving gauntlet is now figuring on a Christ mas escape. Ths big birds were never so plentiful here. Than Americus there was not a more orderly city iu Georgia yesterday. Thousands of people here, and not an arrest for disorder. Fireman Pope Skelton, who has bsen with the looal department for a number of years, has resigned therefrom to en gage in otber business. Americas peoplo who travel will hai with pleasure the establishment of a Bleeping car service.on this division of the Central next Suuday. People from a half dozen towns near . Americas were shopping hero yester day. Americas merchants who adver tise are selling the goods. Already those shoppers known as lookers end t-omebsckers aro inspecting Christmas goods end having the more saleable artioles set aside. Within the past week two families from other states have secured farms near Amerlons and will engage in dairying and trnQk raising. With tbe adjournment of the grand jury this week those absentees who J>,ve been visiting relatives in the K’ondike can return home. The passage in the house.of the Americas police commission bill was the subject of very general disousslon apon the streets here yesterday. Albany’s postoffloe mnddlo was set tled yesterday by tbe appointment «f young Mr. Btimbsrry, son of the former postmaster, to tbatoffioe. In superior court yesterday Demos Martin, a negro, was oonvloted of as eanlt to rape. Nearly tbe entire day was consumed in trying the ease. Foreman Walter Gnerry of the fire department, was granted a ten days vaoatton by connoil last night. He will apend it vary delightfully, too. eas of people were fleeced. The fellow was well dressed and of bnsiness-liko appearance. He had regularly printed receipts, which he gave to those ordering “boxes” in oamplianoj with the “governmental order Ladies, found alone at their homer, were his easiest viotims. To these he stated that the •‘govern- ment” hai just issued an order that every residence in Amerions mast be provided with a door letter box at onoe. The price wbb 50 oenb; he merely col lected tbe fee, while a looal carpenter would soon pat ap the boxes. Lee street, Taylor, College, Jackson, Cbnrcb—in faot, the whole town was well fleeced. Borne day oar people will learn to be ware of snch front doorfrandr, but that day baa not yet dawned.
