While the election of tho next pres

in the “good old summer time” ot

orable to the success of South Geor
gia’s candidate, Hon. J. 'E. Sheppard,
of AmericUs.
Col. Sheppard and his friends
throughout the state have 'been con
ducting a quiet but aggressive .cam

of the next Senate has been commun
icated with directly, and the report
that has been mado is in every way
satisfactory.
Several of tho senators-elect haw
declined to commit themselves posi

Taft to Appoint One High
er Than Ever Before
On Saturday, November 5, at tho
court house, if one of the court rooms
can be secured for that purpose, and, H
not, then the City Hall, a corn exhibit
will be held, to give the farmers of
Sumter county an opportunity to sho-.v
to tie public what they havo done l.i
the way of producing fine corn this
season and to compete for cash prizes
that are offered to thoso bringing io
the exhibit the finest ears. At the same
time farmers are requested to display
the best of talr crop of potatoes, or
the finest stalks of cotton they have
on hand.
Promoted By thc College.
The corn exhibit contest Is one of
the outgrowths of the work of the
Third District Agricultural College
Prof. G. V. CunninghSn, the progres
sive teacher of agriculture there,. co,v
with the race narrowed down, as deems,
almost inevitable, to Sheppard and

will be with the Sumter county man.
A number of senators have practi
cally pledged themselves to Col. iShcp T

men ears of corn for seed.
Rifles of the Contest.
This dpes not mean that tto .men
who present the ten largest ears jf I °f;
corn will win the prizes offered, but
will bo awarded according to the rules
of corn judging. Farmery with sma’l
ears are as likely to win as those with
Cargo ears if their points of excellence
arc better than those of the larger
type. This is not to ho construed as
menaning large cars are not eligible
to entry. Any corn Is eligible to ent*-y
regardless of variety or sizo.
The following arc the rules ot 'the
contest:
1. Tho corn entcrefi must be grown
by the firmer entering it.
2. No person wiH be' allowed to ou
ter more than ten ears.
3. The awarder of the prizes miwt
be an expert in corn Judging and will
know no contestants.
It Is hoped that you will come and
bring some corn, as pou not only stand
• good dance to win one of the priz
es, but It will afford the farmers of
the county an opportunity to see' each
others corn nnd to learn something of
the merits of seed selection and thc
points to be considered in thc selec
tion. It is hoped that you win bring
