Strong Delegation from

Interesting Discussion at
Board of Trade Meet
ing Last Night.
A committee of twenty six represen
tative citizens of Waycross, Oakfield,
Doles. IrtvInvlHe and Ashburn arrived
in the city yesterday afternoon halt 1
of them coming In automobiles, bavins
as their purpose a conference with the
Amerleua Board of Trade relative to
the construction of it road that would
connect Amerlcus and Ashburn, there
being a road projected from Ashburn
miles from the Albany Northern roa.1.
President latnler thought that If
each community look the matter up,
get the rights of way and showed what
It was willing to subscribe that the
road could probably be built.
Several of the visitors stated Hint
the people through the section It was
proposed to run the road would be
found enthusiastic and willing to co
operate to as great an extent as possi
ble.
Mr. A. W. Smith stated that from
what he knew and learned of the coun
try It was proposed to traverse the
SUMTER’S TIME TO
NAME THE SENATOR
friends Seek to Have J.
J. Wilson Make Race.
It Is Sumter county's time to name
the senator from this senatorial dis
trlct.
Every three years Suntfe- has It
"bailee to be represented In the state
eaate. The three counties of the die
trlct, Sumter, Macon and Schley take
turns at naming the representative In
he ttpiier house of the state legisla
'ire. It seems a long time between
drinks, but It rolls around eventually
l is year It Is up to Sumter to
.....c..., honor cne cf Its leading citizen' by
road would open up"a Am‘section ami ll , lm to t1 ’® Senatojtbamber to
prove a business developer.
Mr. W. \V. Uantbden of Waycross, be
lieved that If Amerlcus and Ashburn
were connected by the proposed roid
that the matter of extending the road
on to the sea via Waycross would be
quite easy, several smell roads being
in existence that could be connected
up. He outlined several routes that
were open from Ocllla to Waycross
and thence to St. Mary, a great na
tural sea port with the distance largo-
to Irwinvllle, twenty miles further
on toward the coast, the general Idea | | y covered by existing
being to start a movement toward the | Mr . A N . Walker iUff#it#d u>at
union of a number of small roads that steps be taken to raise funds for n
wottW eventually reach the sea at j survey. Others endorsed this.
Sir. O. Morgan Eldrldge believed

The Visiting Delegations.
In the party were the following rep
resentative citizens:
Waycross—C. M. Sweat. W. W.
Latnbden.
OnkflelJ—W. J. Hall, J. E. Campbell,
lades—c. T. Amason.
irwinvllle—J. B. Clements.
Ashburn—J. N. Raines. A. Isaac. M.

that the cost of holding from here -o
the river would be small per mile. Mr.
Betts gave Ills views on the country
»nd the cost of a road. He believed
that exclusive of the bridge a road
could be built In readiness for opera
tion trout Amerlcus to Ashburn at
$7000 a mile.
Mr. Evans stated that If the road
were built from Amerlcus to Ashburn
rate. W. T. Williams. W. F. Jenkins. ■ It was possible that the Interest of
J II. Bozeman W A. Murray J. U; , he A. B. & A. might be aroused la

as the guests of the Amerlcus Board Eldrldge. Ue Allen and Crawford

East night at 8 oclock the commit*, with the representatives from Oalt-
ns.-lst in law making for Georgia.
The other two counties take no
hand In the contest, their function be
ing merely to confirm whatever Sum
ter does.
Politicians have ulready begun to
discuss the possibilities and probabil
ities along this line. So one, though
Is as yet an avowed candidate. There
may be, when the final throw down
conies, but one man in the field
there may bo two or three contes
tants for the prize. The fact that the
senator lias to be absent from home
and his business affairs for so long a
time each of the two years acts as a
deterrent on mqny who would like the
honor but shrink from the work and
the sacrifice Involved.
Friends of Mr. Jarrett Wilson are
desirous that he aspire to the senator-
ship. Mr. Wilson was a member of
the House four years ago, and made
very faithful and efficient representa
tive. giving unstinted attention to the
deities entrusted to hint and ably rep
resenting the Interests of the senato
rial district and of the state. Mr.
Wilson has not become a candidate as
yet. although considerable pressure is
being brought to bear upon him from
friends all over the county. ,

the visitors laboring under the im
pression that the other Would have In
readiness mid present some definite
plans at tho meeting while a3 a matter
of fact, neither had gone that far. B it

such a road will be thoroughly In-

nite plans may be in readiness to pre
sent at some future Joint meeting.

Miss Evans is a beautiful and ac
complished girl, a g.-aduato ot Bre
nau college, and by her charming per

Mr. and Mrs. Stewart left for At
lanta and after spending several days
there, will be at home to their friends
With }3t,932.48 In cash to Its cred
it In bank, the county school system In
Sumter is amply prepared to toko care
of the education of the youth here
for a /long time to come, even though
this amount was not augmented each
year through the generosity of tho
state school department.
And to Supt. W. 8. Moore, Sumtor's
very efficient school commissioner, Is
due a great deal of credit for this
very healthful and gratifying ftate of
affairs.
With this splendid amount on hand
$31,932.48 and probably only $14,000
to be expended this year In .the pay
ment or teachers salaries, there will
still be left at the end of the year a
surplus of $21,000, unless other wise
expended.
On January 1st 8umter's school
board had cash on hand and to Its
credit with the state school commis
sioner the sum of $14,724.28 Sumter's
portion of the state appropriation for
1910 la $18,108.20. a total of $32,832.48
There Is also In bank here the sum
of $2,100.
Thus, tho Sumter county school
board has at Its disposal this year
the round sum of $34,932.48.
The salary list In Sumter, for the
sixty schools operated, Is about $2,000
monthly for the seven .mouths term,
thus deducting $14,000 and leaving
nearly $21,000 In the treasury.
What other county In the state can
make a better financial showing than
does old Sumter?
Several years ago Supt. Moore and
tho county board of education accu
mulated a small amount In excess of
salaries, and to this they have added
little each year. By tho use of this
fund Sumter's teachers are always
paid their salaries when due, while
other teachers wait.
No county In tho stnto ever pay
its teachers as promptly as Sumter, an
shown by the records.
During the past year the county
board expended $1,400 upon Its ichopl
buildings, and will spend other money
likewiso during 1910. Tho county
owns many cf Its beet rn- larg
school buildings, mali.talnfaa sixty
schools, of which 23 are for white pu
pils and 37 for colored.
All of the schools are well attended
and In flourishing condition.
During the term of office of Supt.
Moore, the county bos erected twenty
three new school houses In various
localities, besides having greatly Im
proved others. All of the teachers are
efflcent and the schools have attained
a high standard of excellence—sur
passed by none others.
The next payment of teachers will
be on February J9lh and all teachers
rendering reports will receive their
pay checks promptly.
The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerousbecause so decep-
" tive. Many sudden
deaths are caused
by it—heart dis
ease, pneumonia,
heart failure or
apoplexy are often
the result of kid
ney. disease,
kidney trouble
allowed to ad vance
tliekidney-poison-
, cd blood will at
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh
the bladder, brick-duet or sediment
the urine, head eclie, back ache, lame
hack, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness. or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
treatment of the kid-
I corrects inability to
scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often throngb
the day, and to get np many timeadnrini;
the night. The mild and immediate effec
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
‘to highest be-
is soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root it pleasant to take and is
sold by alt druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and a book that tells all
about it, both tent free by mail. Address,

erous offer in this paper. Don’t make
r.ny mistake, but remember the name,
Swamp-Root,.and don't let a dealer self
