1AB0R CONDITIONS
BETTER ON FARMS
Hon. T. G. Hudson Reads
Conditions Officially.
That labor conditions are better on
Georgia farms titan for some years
past, Is the opinion of Hon. T. 14. Hud
son/Commissioner of Agriculture. He
bases hts belief on the fact that no
-complaints of any consequence have
Ibeen received by the department thus
far, whereas, at the same time last
.. year reports of difficulties in securing
. tabor were numerous.
' "Labor conditions are better on the
5: arms of Georgia than they have been
An -many years,” said Commissioner
-Hudson in discussing the matter.
' "Thus far we have received little
If Any complaint, which Is some-
-thing unusual. During the past three
. or four years we have had on file at
fc.thto time of the year appeals from
•■every section of Georgia. Some of
the compllants were to the effect
. that labor could not be had at any
T price, and Jn other cases it was on
-account of the exhorbltant price ask-
-ekl.
"Form labor will be lower by 20
'•per cent this year than last, In my
.opinion. The gain In available labor
ers will be even larger. In South
Georgia, where farmers have been
-having bo much trouble In obtaining
> hands, labor is now comparatively
.plentiful. In Southwest Georgia there
-are a few immigrants recently ar
rived. Favorable reports are being
received from these men as farm
laborers.
"The improved conditions are due
: to the prohibition law and the shut-
‘ tlng down of many saw mills on ac
count of the easing up In the demand
lor lumber, and on account of the
cutting out of the timber In places.
The. present seapon should be a good
«ae for farmers, especially In South
- Georgia."
TRAIN IN AMERICUS ON
THE SIXTH OP MARCH
Hornes at Noon. Remains
One Hour.
As the Times-Recorder announced
several days ago, the “agricultural
- train" conveying exhibits and expert
’ lecturers of the State Agricultural
Co’lloge, will reach Americus at 12
'o'clock, noon, on Friday, March 6th.
The special train will arrive over
3he Central Railway and the "farm
ers school on wheels" will remain
here one nnd a half hours, during
vilich time the public is invited to
visit the car and set the exhibits. Front
Americus the train goes to EtlaviUe,
arriving there at 2 p. m. Other towns
visited ;in this locality will bc'Oglef
. thifrpc on March 5tH at 8 a. m;'Smith-
-vIllw,Mttrch"5th at 10 a. m; Dawsfen

At 10 a. in, the train coming thon'ee
to Americus'. The train will reaqjh
more than 150 towns, nnd take. one
- month In so doing. It is the purpose
• of this train to confer upon the fanif-
ers ot Georgia many useful and ’ Im
portant facts regarding agriculture,'
' The baggage car will be filled with
.exhibits. Two passenger coaches will
he used as lecture rooms. Five
steps will be made each day, each
me being In length an hour and
hi halt.
ACREAGE IN COTTON IS
GOING TO BE LESS
Sales
of Fertilizer Will
Fall Short.
Americus fertilizer dealers are not
selling the quantity of' guano this
year sold during the past season, a
fact which Indicates a decreased cot
ton acreage In Sumter and this sec
tion generally. According to the
estimates made by the fertilizer man
ufacturers, the cotton crop of Geor
gia will bo from 15 to 20 per cent
less in 1908 than in 1907. It Is also
stated that there will be a- propor
tionate reduction In the amount of
cotton planted In all other sections of
the South. A reduced acreage would
mean a correspondingly smaller crop,
other things being equal, and this
would mean an increased price, pro
vided the demand was the same. Re
duced acreage has been the cry of the
farmers' organizations for some time,
and from what the fertilizer manu
facturers say, It will be realized as
a result of present conditions. For
the period embraced In the first twen
ty days of Janudry, a tremendous
slump Is Indicated in the sale ot fer
tilizers for this year as compared with
last.
AMERICUS MAN OWNS A
REAL BIG GOLD MINE
Thinks a Fortune There in
Reach.
Mr. James H. Rodgers has returned
to Americus from Haralson county. In
the north Georgia mountains, where
he has been recently to look after
bis realty Interests. The Times-Re
corder told six months ago of the
valuable gold deposits found upon the
Rogers lands there, which only await
ed capital and development. Mr.
Rogers owns a tract of forty acres,
nnd undoubtedly there Is gold • In
considerable quantities found there.
Upon returning here he exhibited a
small handful of yellow nuggets,
which he washed out ot surface dirt
in the most primitive manner. Mr.
Rogers expects capitalists to visit his
land a month hence, and a few days
ago made a trip to bis mountain pos
sessions to prepare for the coming.
He says gold abounds in that region
and is to be found at a depth of two
to four feet In small quantities, with
probably a large vein at a greater
depth.

Old Members Not Candb
dates Again.
Neither Representative James Tay
lor or Representative W ,W. Dykes,
Sumter's two able members of the
House, will be candidates again for
the honor at the forthcoming elec
tion, and the voters of the county
will name others In their stead.
Both gentlemen have announced that
they would not aspire to the office
again, although It Is quite certain
that the county would gladly honor
them thusly.
However, neither will be a candi
date for the legislature this time.
Mr. Dykes, as Is well understood^
will be a candidate for the office of
solicitor-general of the Southwestern
circuit at the forthcoming primary,
his formal announcement being with
held until the executive committee
has taken action.
Solicitor-General Frank A. Hooper,
by the way one of the ablest prosecu
ting attorneys In Georgia and for
many years the efficient Incumbent
of that office, will not be a candidate
again.
And this fact insures a spirited race
for the vacancy.
Sumter, of the six counties com
prising the Southwestern circuit, will
name the solicitor.
Mr. James R. Williams is a candl
date for the office of solicitor-general,
and he and Mr. Dykes will thus meas
ure swords in the political arena. The
race will be confined to these two
gentlemen, as It is well understood
there will be no others.
Mr. Dykes is serving his .first term
as a member of the House. Mr. Tay
lor has served two terms, practical
ly, having been first elected to a
vacancy, while at the last primary he
was elected by a large plurality for
the full term.
Both gentlemen made excellent re
cords In the recent Assembly, and the
voters of Sumter would gladly ac
cord them the honor again.
Other aspirants for the office will
develop quickly when the executive
committee assembles on February 8th
and calls the primary election (or all
county officers, members of the legis
lature, etc., as several names have
been suggested already.
And the legislative race is going
to add a great deal of interest to an
already lively campaign.
Quick climatic changes try strong

REALTY 18 HOLDING UP
WELL IN AMERIGUS
No Sacrifice of Property
Expected.
"Americus realty Is holding up well,
and not a few sales at satisfactory
prices are being effected.” said Mr.
I.ee Allen, of Allen& Crockett, yes
terday, In reply to Inquiry upon the
part of the Times-Recorder. "There
Is no >reasdn In the world why any
one should sacrifice property,” con
tinued Mr. Allen, “and I expect .to
see a gradual and substantial im
provement in conditions here. It Is
the best asset one can possibly pos
sess, and well situated realty al
ways produces a satisfactory and as
sured Income upon the Investment.”
And the opinion of Mr. Allen is that
of other level-headed citizens here.
Americus Is going steadily upon the
up grade, and the building of the elec
tric railway this summer will give
her a wonderful impetus forward.
Good property here always brings
the price; a price which is steadily
and constantly growing.
BUNCH OP JAGS SMALL
When the Funnel Club held for.'i'
here in Americus last year the bunch
of jags exhibited in police court
every Monday morning, nnd other
mornings as well, insured a session
of an hour and poured a pint of sil
ver dollars Into the exchequer. But
there’s nothing doing now, jagetically'
or financially, and the police, court
room on Monday mornings looks like
a deserted Sunday School. Yester

Prohibition That Prohibits.
(Washington Port.) i
Without the enactment of 'Senator
Tillman’s bill to prohibit-the Issuance
of internal revenue license to retail
liquor in prohibition communities,
every legally “dry" district' will be
thoroughly “wet’* for all practical
purposes to the toper with the price.
As the law now la, the proprietor
of a blind tiger, with a Federal 11-
" '—»w
cense framed and hanging on the wait
snaps his Ungers a.t the State con
stable, and piles his trade In deflanco
and contempt of the State law; but
deprive film of his Federal license,
and he will close the tiger and either
quit h!« trade sr turn bootlegger. One
blind tiger will do more mischief than
twenty bootleggers. The tiger has
a barrel in stock; the boot a bottle.
The Tillman hill will work more
effectively to make prohibition pro
hibit than any other measure yet pro-
