' As the Children of Israel were
shown the ‘ Promised Land," and fat
tened upon the products thereof, so do
itte scores of South Carolinans coming
ti;o Sumter view this land of promise In
isvhlch they propose to cast the r lots,
as have many who have already pro
ceeded them here and are delighteJ
■with conditions and surroundings.
All who come here are agreeably
surprised and they not only become
residents and land owners lustanter, corn,
hut advise their friends at home to ilo
likewise.
Last week Mr. C. F. Moore of Che
raw, S. C., spent several days looking
over Sumter county wh le planning to
faring a party of nearly one hundred
Calolinans to Americus on June 27th
Conditions were even better than he
had supposed.
In a letter to a South Carolina

of Sumter county and the wonderful
undeveloped resources:

When the Tlmes-Recorder a few
weeks ago offered, through' the llber-
erality of Americus merchants, hanc 1 -
S'ime cash prizes lor tip. hast corn

pace for the greatest corn crop, it
now seems, that this good ocunty ha3
ever produced.
Scores of enterprising farmers en
tered tbe contest In friendly rivalry
and went to work determined to win
one of the prizes.
This, however, was not the main In
centive for a bumper corn crop. The
farmers here have long realized the
wisdom of producing their food crops,
and have planted a vast acreage in

The Gin that saves Power
S The Munger Cotton Gin
ning Outfit can be run with
from five to fifteen horse
power less than any other
system on the market of the
same capacity. That means
that it costs less to operate a
Munger System-and it pro
duces a better sample, too.
—power means steam
—steam means coal
—coal means money
The Munger Outfit el
evator has a continuous
instead of an intermittent suc
tion, so it may be operated by
a smaller fan. It is here that
considerable saving in horse
power is secured.
Best Country Ever Visited.
Americus. Ga., May 31, 1910.
Hon. R. L Freeman. *
Bennettsville. S. C.
You will see from tbe heading of
this letter that I am still at Americus,
Ga., again prospecting. 1 was down
here a few weeks ago, and made some
investments that look so good to me
■that 1 find It hard to keep away. I
have traveled quite a lot, and have
•seen all of the best farming lands 'n
the South, and have often said that I
thoug. 't the finest farming lands and
the most fertile soil was In the Red
River valley of Lousiana.
I think they are better even than
those of the Mississippi Delta, but In
Sumter county, Ga., I think will take
the blue ribbon as being the finest cot
ton sol! and most fertile farms I have
•ever seen, and at one-fourth the value
of Marlboro county lands.
Th>c soli Is a red chocolate color
---with small dark pebbles running all
'through the soil; and the public roads
-the finest I ever saw, wide and
aioely graded, and In fact, every road
Clan boulevard. Sumter county, Ga„ Is
-.known all over the south as being the
pioneer in road building, ond In hav
ing the finest roads In Georgia.
They are built so wide and tbe
(grade so small that automobile -driv
ing is quite a pleasure.'I am simply
charmed with what I have’BGen in the
tway of farms.
The land lies almost level, dra'nage
4s perfect, the largest fields I ever saw,
wtnd the finest homes with all the mod
ern improvements. Sumter is one of
the first and oldest settled counties In
‘Georg a and for that reason the larg-
■ ost percentage of land Is in cultivation,
-with cheap labor—much cheaper than
-In South Carolina.'
Americas a Thriving City.
Americus is a beautiful city of 10,000
-inhabitants, with a modern hotel, fine
schools, churches, etc., and a compress
"that last year packed 60,000 bales of
« cotton. Just think of two mutes bring-
Sing.10 bales of cotton to town on a
' wagon, and you can appreciate what I
Rave said about Sumter county's good
-roads. I find quite a number of South
(Carolina people here.
-At Plains, 10 miles from Americus,
va small village on the S. A. L. Ry„ are
mostly South Carolina people who are
-doing well and making money.
fl was very much struck with the
~ lands around' Plains—very fine red
s chocolate soil, large fields In which
.*• twenty-five to fifty mules are often
seen at work In one field. I was In
formed. however, that very little of
•his laud was for sake for the reason
that it had been bought several years
ago and settled by South Carolina peo
ple who know how to appreciate fine
-Hands and hold on to their possessions
Fertility of Sumter Lands.
Why any of this land is for sale, and
at the price I am at a loss to under-
utand! They simply don't know what
t: they have. The land fesre is more ter-
: tDe, and will produce more than Marl
boro county at one-fourth the value.
* Front a farming investment, some of
lb's land will double in value soon—
as soon as the public can see them—
and I wls-i I had money enough, for t
.would buy the whole county.
I am more pleased than ever with
the investment made a few weeks ago,
and have just closed a .hid for another
One rarm. This county is 70 miles
south of Macon; and we are very much
impressed with the earliness of all
crops and vegetation. Cotton here is
the way, here are located the finest and
''twice as large as that at Lome, and
Out from Americus, where the
"good roads" radiate In every direc
tion, are to be seen fields of waving
corn, not patches of grain, but great
fields of it—thousands upon thousands
of acres of green corn, which even
now assures an abundant harvest.
Sumter county farmers have just
stored :n their barns an oat crop of
a quarter million bushels, raised this
spring.
• Two hundred and fifty thousand
bushels of oats. A bumper crop for
Georgia's banner county.
And close upon tbls will come a
corn crop equally as large—or much
larger—for the corn acreage here is
vastly larger than that planted In
oats. The recent rains have given
and the greatest crop ever grown
and the greatest crop ever gaown
here is assured.
Many farmers will contest for the
prizes' above referred to as the best
yield from an acre, and many yields
of 90 to 100 bushels or more, is ex
pected.
The Munger Outfit, with
its continuous suction, is the
only one in which the exhaust
from the fan can be used for
handling the seed, when it is
conveyed any great distance.

TERRIBLE CROUP
One Who Knows Recommends
Remedy to Anxious' Mothers.
Ary little boy, who Is four years old,
has suffered a lot with croup. On sev
eral occasions we thought he was
gone.
After trying all the old time reme
dies and most of the new, I came
home one night at midnight, and my
wife said, "The boy has tk<e croup
again—suppose you get a bottle of
Hyomel.’’ "More junk,” I said, “but
we will circulate our money so they
all will get some.”
I hastened to an all night drug store,
brought It home. In fire -minutes he
was breathing easier. In fifteen min
utes he was sound asleep. It broke the
croup so quickly It scared me.
Anyone wishing to cure the croup of
a child I hooe will give Hyomel a trial
Wishing you the best of success,
which you surely deserve, I remain,
Jos. E. Clark, 201 6th St. S. E„ Wash
ington, D. C„ Oct. 7, 1909.
Hyomel is a remarkably effective
remedy In case of croup and It should
be In every home where there is
croupy child. Full Instructions how
to cure croup comes w Ith each outfit.
Complete Hyomel outfit including In
haler costs U-00 at druggists every
where and Dodson's Pharmacy. It Is
guaranteed to cure catarrh, coughs,
colds and sore throat.
