Third prize, $25 cash. Tho contest will bo conducted as such contests generally are. Every farmer In Sumter county is Invited to enter for the prizes. Judges will be appointed who, at the harvesting time, will call at the plantations where corn has been grown for the contest and supervise the gathering of the crop on the acre set aside for the test. Witnesses will be on hand to substan tiate the statements that are made as to the yield. The heaviest yields get the prizes. In return the planters winning the prizes are expected to give the public generally tho benefit of the system used by them in cultivating the crop, the quantity of fertilizers used on the acre In question, etc. Mr. J. W. Hightower took the mat ter up yesterday and made a personal canvass. The result was that Inside of two or three hours the entire amount needed in cash, $175, had been sub scribed, as follows: Tlmes-Recorder $25.00 W. B. Mitchell 5.00 Luther Hawkins 5.00 G. A. Turpin 5.00 Harrold Bros 5.00 Americus Grocery Company .... 5.00 Hugh Mize 5.00 Mitt Edwards 5.00 a committee from the City Council, will appear before the Board with request that It make a donation the Americus hospital of $500 for tho year 1910. While, of course, no one has any authority to speak In advance of tho action of the County Commissioners ns to what that body will do, there Is every reason to belluve tho desired ap proprlatlon will be made and the hos pital put Into excellent shape for tho current year. Two weeks ago the ladles appeared before the Board of Trade and that or ganization donated $100. At the laat meeting of the City Council they pre sented their plea to that body and an appropriation of $500 was the resale. If the County Commissioners make the appioprlation that will be requested of them, $500, the managers of the Ins:! tutlon will have $1,100 toward the $3,- COO that Is required to properly oper ate the hospital. The remainder of that amount, $2,500, will be secured from pay patients and from the efforts of the ladles In bazars and other mon ey making plans. There Is no public work that has *o enlisted the sympathy and support of the women of Americus as the hos pital. From the time It was trans ferred to their charge they have been Indefatigable In their efforts to sus tain It properly, to maintain it at i high degree of efllclency, and to In* prove It In every way possible. In deed, it Is probably no exaggeration to Tho Kind Ton Unvo Always Bought, and which has boen in ttso for over SO years, has borne tho slgnaturo of > and has been mado under his per sonal supervision since Us Infancy.

The prises are sufficiently large to awaken attention and lead to a large number of entries. There Is appsrent- ly no reason why Sumter county on a contest like this should not turn out 125 to 150 bushels on the winning acres. As corn promises to keep around the dollar mark the results will be decidedly profitable all around. If the corn contest Is tho success that Is anticipated It Is probable that next year a number of prises will be offered along other lines. Those making the contributions will appoint Judges and otherwise com plete the details for the contest as the occasion arises. Home Office, Raleigh, N. C. Jos. G. Brown, Pres., P. D. Gould, Jr., 1st.
