SUMfEK, A FIVE MILLION DOLLAR
AGRICULTURAL GOUNfY.
That was a grand showing tbat was
made for Sumter county In the Tlmes-
Recorder yesterday. It was shown In'
dlsputably tbat the crops of this coun
ty for the current year will approach
four and a halt millions of dollars In
-value , some even claim that they will
be nearer five millions of dollars. And
equally as Important as the total
showing Is the fact that these millions
■f dollars of agriculural wealth taken
from the fertile fields surrounding the
elty of America -i caii.e not from tot-
ton alone, but represented a diversifi
cation of crops, and particularly the
expansion of what arc generally
ferred to as food crops, oats, corn and
**y- • "i-coa
The acreage given up to these three
great subordinate crops this year was
fee greatest In the history of the coun
ts-. Barns to-day are filled to ‘over-
•owing with corn and oats and hay.
Wever before In the history of the
•ounty bare there been such abundant
•applies. As a result the farmers of
the coupty will be saved the necessity
•t sending many thousands of dollars
hito the west for supplies of this char-
actcr to carry them through the winter
and the spring. They will be living at
home, as never before. This year there
.has been a practical exemplification of
the value of not carrying all one's
eggs In one basket. As a result the
farmers have killed two birds with one
stone. They have sold their cotton at
the highest average prices In many
years, and they have to their credit
large crops of high priced corn and
eats and hay. The money received
from the cotton crop has accordingly
been free money to a larger extent
than In probably a decade or two. On
many farms there la-today ample corn
to- carry; alt th^ stock over all of next
Ss ?S ar even lit a single acre was not put
tj£graln next season.
. -tDebts have been settled up this fall,
and will continue to be paid during the
winter, to a greater extent tban In
years past More money, in all likeli
hood, will also be carried over Into
1810, guanteelng a better spring trade
tban usual, and keeping, the currents
of business more active than ordinary
at that time of the year. While It is
not possible that there will be sucb
high prices for cotton next year as
have prevailed this fall and winter, it
Is still easily within the power of the
fanners of Sumter to keep themselves
In a highly prosperous state. If they
will continue the policy of raising
large crops of corn, oats, hoy, and oth
er supplies for home consumption,
there Is hardly any likellhood of their
Vver going back Into the old fashioned
Slbhghs of the past. Pulled out on
high dry ground by this season's op
erations, as many of them have been,
A&ei by a probable condition of gen
eral prosperity In the country at large
for the next two or three years, aby-
way. It would seem that the outlook
for the progressive farmers of Sum
ter county could not be brighter.' And
with fortune smiling so brightly upon
them, and with a united people work
ing harmoniously In Amerlcus, wbo
can bring forward a single reason why
this city should not see In 1910 and the
two or three succeeding years a period
of unusual activity and progress and
of prosperity to every business Inter
est In It
There Is no holding back a county
that Is already turning out agricul
tural products to the value of nearly
five millions of dollars. Every year
finds the agriculture of Sumter more
and more scientific In Its nature, flndH
the planters using more fertilizers and
producing greater crops. Who knows
hut that, with the county settling up
steadily with Intelligent white farmers
and tbe new spirit abroad among all
farmers. It will not be possible a few
jears hence to write that the agricul
tural products of Sumter county, bless
ed of all Georgia counties, have reach
ed and passed the seven or tbe eight
million dollar mark.
Sf-
Tliat’s a fuanv report that comes
from Atlanta, that the copy of his
lust message that ex-Gov. Smith Is
Rending out to the voters of tbe stato
is a different document from the one
he sent to tbe legislature.
It appears that Attorney General
Hart, since the message was sent to
the legislature, has done something
that is not especially Incense to the
nostrils of the former governor. Ac
cordingly all complimentary refer
ences to that worthy state official
have been carefully blue penciled from
the copy of the message now being
circulated through the state.
Attorney General Hart now knows
what it Is to feel the righteous wrath
and be brought under the condemna
tion of the ex-governor.
And then the reference to the au
diting of the state treasurer's books
by Richardson Is likewise omitted.
Since tbat expert accountant made his
report to Gov. Brown on the state of
the treasury he seems to have fallen
from the high esteem In which he was
formerly held and the blue pencil has
ruthlessly stricken all allusions to his
service under tbe Smith administra
tion.
But this is not the first time the
voters of Georgia have been treated to
an expurgated edition of the views
of the former governor. Indeed, blue
penciling former opinions seems to
have become a favorite pastime with
that estimable gentleman.

The great John Robinson circus and
mammoth menagerie, ever a favorite
In Amerlcus, comes again on Monday
next, the only circus here this season
and In excellence surpassed by none
other. And thousands will greet the
big circus, as always, for the public
depends upon the reliability of this
colossal show.
There is an abundance of merry
making clowns, while each and every
act is worthy of Individual commenda
tion, some being of such novel and
extraordinary character as to deserve
special mention, among which are the
riding seals.
These wonderful creatures perform
a series of marvelous acts. They ride
on bareback horses, play ball, juggle
and balance objects while riding on
the hooka of fleet horses. This may
seem incredible, yet nevertheless
may. be witnessed at each perform
ance. .,
Among the acta tbat deserve com
ment Is that of the Three Castelloa In
their horseback riding horizontal bar
performance, aad the strong man,
Warren Lincoln Travis, whose feats,
showing the wonderful muscular pow
er of the bnman frame, both aston
ish and amaze the beholders.
The elephants dance, waltz and per
form various feats subject to the mas
ter mind of their trainer, are pro
nounced to be the best performing
herd ever seen in this section. An
admirable feature Is the six-horse
act. |
The riding, driving and managing of
six horses by Gordon Orton Is a most
wonderful display of equestrian dar
ing. In fact, every act presented :S
of tho highest order of excellence aad
skill after Ra kind.
The menagerie Is one of the largest
In Its makeup ever brought Into this
section.
An Amerlcus man who sold cotton

service of quality. We supply more than merely
clothes at a price. They’re.
