Board of Trade Working to Build Up Sumter and
Americus.
IT MUST HAVE PERMANENT SECRETARY T(L PUSH THE WORK
The general feeling among the members of the Americus Board of Trade
Is that, to secure the very test results, that organization should have a
permanent secretary, with a permanent office.
By perlnanent secretary is meant a man who can and will devote hts
entire time to the work of lhe organization, to advertising Americus and
Sumter county, to securing Immigrants for the farm lands,, and home seek
ers and workers for the city, to attracting the attention of capitalists to this
city as a place for Investment, and especially of directing attention of
manufacturers to Americus as a point having many advantages for various
industries.
Unfortunately the Board of Trade lacks funds for this purpose. To get
a competent permanent secretary would require a salary of at least $1,500
Tor the first ./ear, with an understanding that if the Incumbent made good
tlie salary wjutd be raised to say $1,800 the second year. Good* men are
not cheap meir. No one but a good man would be worth the havlqg.
There are less than one hundred members of the Board of Trade at this
time. If each one paid Ills dues promptly the total resources of the organi
zation would oe hardly over a thousand dollars a year. There are many
men In Americus who are not yet members of the Board who could easily
afford the small amount of $1 00 a month and become partners In the work of
building up the city. There is no reason why there should not be at least
one hundred and fifty members. At $1 a month this would give an Income of
$1,800 a year." An office could probably be secured In the city hall, rent
free, and the nermanent secretary would be an assured fact
Every citizen in Americus who can possibly spare $1.00 a month should
join hands with the Board t.f Trade. If each man would do his share
•Vmerlcus would have 15,000 people in less than five years'from now.
It has been suggested and the suggestion does not seem Improper, that
the city and county might each help In the work. The Board of Trade
works as much for Sumter county as a whole, as for Americus. One of Its
(Irent purposes is to develop the county, to bring intelligent, reliable, pro
gressive farmers Into the county from other parts of the state, and from
the North and the West. It realizes that Americus must depend to a great
extent on the development of Sumter county outside of the city for its
own development. Working In this way for the .good of the county there
is apparently no reason why the county should not assist It In some small
way. An'appropriation of $25 a month from the county, or $300 a year,
would he of material assistance. The county would get tt back ten times
over every year in advertising and the results that flow from Intelligent
publicity of Us advantages and opportunities. Americus, too, pays the vast
bulk of the county taxes and as a mere matter of equity It Is but Just that
the county should assist a patriotic, public spirited body having absolutely
no other purpose In view than the advancement of city and county interests.
While the city’s finances are perhaps not In the best condition possible,
owing to the reduction of^rovenues resulting from prohibition, It would
>,eem that It, too, could make a small monthly appropriation to the Board
/•/ Trade, under the head of advertising. If the city and the county would
each give $25 a month, It would soon be possible to have a permanent sec
retary, to have an office equipped and supplied with literature, and to have
Americus and Sumter county heralded to the world In etery direction.
Such a permanent secretary would soon be in touch with people In
every part of the country who are seeking homes, seeking farms, seeking,
sites for factories. He would become a powerful agency In the onward march
of Sumter and Americus.
Cannot our city fathers and our county commissioners see their way to
ao this much for thp upbuilding of city and county. Let them give the matter
careful consideration. It Is but a very small sum of money—$25 a month
from each, yet It would do an enormous amount of good to both city and
county.
DEATH OF MRS. TUCKER
RECENTLY AT LESLIE
Mrs. Margaret Elizabeth Tucker,
relict of John H. Tucker, and daugh
ter* of Amos Smith, died recently at
Leslie. The mother was the daugh
ter of Elizabeth and Arnold Godwin,
pioneer citizens of Sumter.
She was born September 11, 1836,
married John O. Tucker, November
1856.
Her husband died In the Confeder
ate service in 1863. He was a mem
ber of the 15th Georgia Regiment;
leaving with her four small- chlld-
These Bhe reared to the best of
her ability, faithfully and well, illus
trating the ‘principles taught her by
her own parents In the fear of God.
There are three sons and one
daughter, all married except one
son; who has remained with bis mo-
She was a member of the Methodist
church to which she was ever loyal
and faithful.
$100.00 paid by Dr. Shoop for any
recent case of Grippe or acute cold
that a 25 cent box of Preventics will
not break. How Is this for am offer?
The Doctor’s supreme confidence In
these little Candy Cold Tablets—Pre
ventics—is certainly complete. It’s
a $100, against 25 cents—pretty big
odds. And Preventics, remember,
contain no quinine, no laxative, noth
ing harsh nor sickening. Pneumonia
would never appear If early colds
were always broken. Safe and sure
for feverish children. $8 Preventics

COLLEGE IN AMERICUS
GETS FIRST MONEY
The Agricultural College In Ameri
cus has just received from the State
Its first appropriation of $2,000, which
goes for the maintenance of that in
stitution. Checks for $2,000 each
were mailed In Atlanta Friday foe
the seven district colleges now open
to students, this amount being only
a part of the annual sum each school
Is to receive from the State. The
seven schools are located at States
boro In the First congressional dis
trict,- at Tifton in the Second, at
AmericuB In the Third, at Monroe In
the Fifth, at Powder Springs In the
Seventh, at Carrollton In the Fourth
and at Madison In the Eighth district
The other four district schools In
the Sixth. Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh
districts are not yet open for busi
ness, but as soon as they are the sum
of $2,000 each will be ready for
them. The money going to the agrl
cultural schopls comes from the
sale of tags.
