THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. THURSDAY. JUNE 16, im m “LAND OF PROM ISt” CHARMS VISITORS Sumter Considered a Ver itable tden. Farmers of South Caro lina Buy Lands in This Section, ' 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 Iriem! Mr. Moore thus tells the story of Sumter county and the wonderful undeveloped resources: SLIMIER 10 HARVEST A BIG VIEED 0E CORN Crop This Tear Will Be Immense. 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 yields per acre n Sumte'-, it set the 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 Application for n Bank -Charter. 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. Munger System Outfit 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.
