•WHISKEY DID IT” CARVED
OX GRAVE OF DRIXKER.
The magnifllcent roads of Sumter,
leading out from Americus In every
direction, have been complimented
throughout Georgia ns the best in the
state south of Atlanta, or anywhere out
side of Atlanta's own county, to an
ext nt to cause Sumterians to blush
with modest pride.
Tile good roads—and they are really
good—even gound commendation In
Albany, an unexpected source ,to be
sure. A recent issue of tho Herald
contains the following laudatory ar
ticle upon the good roads of Sumter
county.
"An Albany citizen recently rode in
an automobile over the splended road
Sumter county built a year ago, be
tween Smithville and Americus, this
morning expressed wonder at thi
splendid condition of that niagnlli
cent highway.
"The road was built by the late It.
T. Christian, superintendent of roads
of Sumter, and has been kept in 'ts
excellent condition by the use of that
simple yet wonderfully effective ap
pliance, the split-log drag.
“I wish the Dougherty county com
missioners would adopt tho split-log
drag in working the roads of Dougi-
erty" said this gentleman.
That road between Smithville and
Americus is as smooth, or even
smoother, than Broad street's paving
or vitrified brick. It is kept in that
condition at little expense by the use
of the split-log drag.
“It is tho custom of the Sumter au
thorities to drag the roads once a
week. One negro driver, with a two-
horse team and a split-log drag, cov
ers fifteen miles of road a day. By
going over the roads once a week, this
simple outfit keeps ninety miles of
road in splendid condition.
"The split-log drag works on a very
simplo principle. It cuts down the
high places in tho road and fills up
the low places.
"The drag also packs the earth, and
a road on which a split-log drag is
used gets- better and better the older
it gets, Instead of worse as i3 the case
where tho drag is not used.
“I wish the Dougherty county au
thorities would try tho split-lag drag
as an experiment.
"It would also be fine on our city
streets. If the local authorities
would take a rido over tho Sumter
county rond of which I speak, they
could not fail to appreciate the won
derful and cheap appliance, the split-
log drag."
MILLS IN AMERIGUS AT
HEIGH F Of SEASON
Plants Here Rushed With
Orders.
Americus fertilizer plants—and
there are live largo ones here—are at
the height of a very busy season just
now and all are rushed with orders
for cottonseed meal or commercial
fertilizers. For the demand this
year is going to be considerable
even though the accreage planted in
cotton is not Increased to great ex
tent.
Many farm wagons loaded with
cotton seed were upon the streets
here yesterday, the seed being ex
changed for cotton seed meal at the
mills.
This meal is very extensively used
as a fertilizer for both corn and cot
ton. and with fine results.
Predictions at Col. Tom Hudson’s
department of agriculture indicate a
consumption of about S00.000 tons of
commercial fertilizers during the cur
rent season, which is somewhere
round about what Georgia used last
year.
Til's means an expenditure of ap
proximately $10,00,000 by Georgia’s
planters alone for fertilizers.
Year by year planters who have
learned a thing or two, are putting
more of it under corn and other pro
ducts and proportionately less under
cotton. In other words, they are di
versifying the crops and a large per
centage of the annual consumption of
fertilizers is going under other crops
than cotton.
There are about 10,000,000 acres of
ground in Georgia under cultivation
for all products.
BUSY TIMES IN VOTING
THIS YEAR IN SUMTER
Americus Will See Plenty
Elections.
An attack of the grip Is often fol
lowed by a persistent cough, which to
many proves a great annoyance.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been extensively used and with good
success for the relief and cure of this
cough. Many cases have been cured
after all other remedies had failed.

Americus voters will soon hear the
merrimeutal boot of the able candi
date who will swoop here from the
mountains of Atlanta and the back
districts as well in the hunt for of
fice. For It is “election year"
Georgia, and every place from gover
nor to coroner must he filled again.
The entire batch; governor, cou
gressman, legislators and county of
ficers—all must be elected again dur
ing the good year 1910.
And the able voter of Sumter will
he on the watchtower.
The election of members of tho
legislature and county officers will
command the greatest attontipn here,
and 11 an early primary is called by
the executive committee the boys who
want the Jobs will soon bo around
hand-shaking the voters, jollying the
mothers and kissing the babies.
Already several counties are ar
ranging for early primaries—many-aa
early as April and May, and Sumter
will get into the game soon along
with the others.
Tax Collector I. B. Small calls at
tention to the fact that man)' voters
here are not yet registered. He is
anxious that voters qualify them
selves to take part in the elections
which will be held during 1910, and
they cannot do so if they neglect
register before the books close a few
weeks hence.
Under the new registration law the
lists close to voters six months before
an election instead of twenty days as
heretofore.
Long before the campaign opens
and Interest in the candidates stimu
lates the voters the registration books
will be closed, and the voter who
does not put ills name on the books
through a stern sense of duty now
will be deprived of the right of exer
cising his franchise.

The old wooden rookery next the

yesterday with a light on its shingle
roof, but It was “the light that failed"
as usual. As usual, the blaze was
put out and the old shack remains.
Time and again it has caught fire, hut
In every instance nothing happens to

duty and the old landmark stands.
Doubtless hundreds would have re
joiced yesterday to see t burn, but It

A Safeguard to Children.
"Our two children of six and eight
years havo been since Infancy sub
ject to colds and croup. About threo
years ago I started to use Foley's
Honey and Tar, and it lias never fail
ed to provent and cure these troubles.
It is the only medicine I can get the
children to take without a row.” The

of thousands of other users of Foloy’s

colds and croup, and prevents bron
chitis and pneumonia.. Sold by all

When a girl says that, she has no
use for a certain young man it usually
means that he haa no time for her.
What makes a nmn want to take a
