THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. THURSDAY. MAY 12, 1910, SIXtt MILES OF ROADS SEEN IN TWO HOURS. State Geologist McGallie a Visitor Here. Pleased With the Roads and Prosperity Seen on Every Hand. lion. S. AV. McCallie, chief of the state bureau of geology, was a prom inent visitor in Ainertcui Monday coining here especially to examine tire good roads of Sumter county, the ma terial used In their construction and other points of interest to be embod ied in a publication soon to be issued. And what he saw here pleased him beyond expectation. Forty miles of completed roadway was shown Prof. McCallie in a little run of two hours, while he was also offered the opportunity of seeing the convicts engaged in road construction. Commissioner of Agriculture T. G Hudson essayed the role of ho3t gen ial, and with his handsome touring car accompanied Prof. McCallie in a trip which took the party over a wide scope of Sumter extending from tho western to the southern and eastern boundaries. Near Pleasant Grove church the party was shown the method of actual road building by Supt. Christian. Tne road from that point to Huntington l« being converted iiuo a line highway, and Prof. McCallie was interested in the method of road building, with the over evident view to permanency. A demonstration of the split-log drag, thy simple, but effective imple ment tired to level and resurface tho roads after a heavy rain, likewise In terest! d tho visitors, i From this point, nine miles east of Ameri-us, the party speeded over to Plains, nineteen miles away, conclud ing the tour of Inspection with a spin down the Smlthvllle road in order that Prof. McCallie might see'not on ly the fine roads but the farms and big orchards in that part of Sumte'. The fine farms, the splendid crops and the big peach orchards, together with the magnificent roads, created ,t most favorable impression. Thoroughly capable of appreciating such Improvements as were shown him, and contrasting Sumter's roads with those in other portions of Geor gia and the South, Prof. McCallie spoke In highest praise of the work already done here and expressed the Ittpe that Sumter would continue the Igood work. I Numerous photographs of .fine Stretches of roadway were made by Prof. McCallie to be used in Issuing Aibe publication he is preparing. Don’t Leia Customer Lose His fl/Soneyin Vour Ginnery A grower believes in his ginner, just the same as a ginner believes in the men with whom he docs business. A gimier does not purposely fail to give his customers, the growers, the servi e they ought to get There is another side. No ginner can afford to put in any but a IMunger System outfit. It is the ginnery with a profit-producing record. It does better work, more work and with less power. All Continental machinery is built from material best suited for the purposes intended, and reduces breakages to a minimum. That removes big repair bills and avoids loss of time. With the Muneer System outfit a ginner can give growers the best sample in hi3 com munity, and do it at a smaller operating cost than any other mak& of cotton ginning machinery. Four out of five ginners know it now. Mungcr System outfit* permit choice of Mnnger, Pratt, Wlnshlp. Smith or Eagle Gins, complete line of cotton- working machinery. Including Engine and Boilers.

Americua people who attended the monster flah fry and picnic at Bell's Mill, near Preston, on Thursday, dined at a table where six hundred pounds of beautiful trout, bream and perch constituted the piece de resistance, with chicken p'e as a chaser. This old mill is one of the famous fishing resorts of this section and the fish are so plentiful there that they fre quently flop out on the banks of the pond and greedily attack the fisher man's bait gourd. At tho picnic there Thursday the fish hit finely, and when the alarm was sounded -for dinner nearly six hundred pounds had been caught 'and cooked. Five hundred people dined there, and when all had thus partaken twelve t baskets full— of bones—const tuted the appetizing wreck upon the snowy cloth. Notice of Application For Guardian ship.
