, Mr. Roger, is preparing to plant as
extensively ns conditions will per
mit of his new variety the coming sea
son and the entire county will watch
the results with more than ordinary
interest. Arrangements will be made
to secure an exhibit from Mr. Rogers
at the Sumter County Fair, In order
that the planters generally may sec
and study tbe results of bis experi
ments.
The entertainment by -The South
erners" at Miss Bell's Studio, under
the auspices and for. the benellt of the
Hospital Association, on next Monday
night, promises to be one of the most
delightful evenings that those attend
ing have experienced this season.
“The Southerners" come highly rec
ommended. Their program is popu-
lsr In Its variety and hus never fail
ed to appeal to large audience, wher
ever they have gone. Vocal and In
strumental music, recitations and Im
personations together make up a pro
gram that gives pleasure from the
start to the finish.
It Is believed a large audience will
greet the gifted trio on Monday night
and that the Hospital Association will
have a gratifying addition to its treas
ury as a result
The suggestion has been made, it
appears to be an exceptionally good
one, and it will be considered and
passed on by the Board of Trade at
it. smeeeting on next Tuesday night,
that two great sign boards be erected
by that organization, one at each of
the railway depots, containing appro
priate matter advertising Americus
and Sumter county.
The idea is to have the boards not
less than thirty feet long each, and
probably ten feet In Jepth, bo that
the lettering on them may be large
and easily read b ytravelers.
On each board would be given Ba-
llent facts concerning the city and
county, fact, that will Impress the
traveler reading them, and perhaps
lead him to make further Inquiries
which will be answered through
Board of Trade.
Remembering the large number of
people who pass through the city ev
ery day on the Central and Seaboard
it is apparent that such an advertise
ment would reach a veritable host.
It Is believed that no difficulty
would be secured In securing from
each of the roads the right to erect a
board on its right of way. The work
would be done In a neat manner and
the hoards made sufficiently strong lo
resist anything except a West Indian
cyclone.
The suggestion appears to meet
with a favorable reception whenever
It is mentioned and It Is quite proba
ble that the Board of Trade will en
dorse It next Tuesday night and order
the boards erected.

New York, January 17.—Dr. Fred-
erack A. Cook recently got this letter
from Rear Admiral W. 8. Schley, U. S.
N., president of the (Arctic club, under
whose auspice, Dr. Cook made his ex
peditlon to the north:
"Dear Dr. Cook: I thank you very
much for your kind letter, and l would
assure you that I have never varied in
the belief that you and .Civil Engineer
Peary reached the pole. After reading
the published accounts dally and crit
ically. ot both claimants, I was forced
to the conclusion from their striking
similarity that each of yon was the eye
nominated a fourth time and that he
shall never be elected president of
the United StateB."
But Mr. Bell warned his hearers
that If they were seeking a harmony
which might bring about further dem
ocratic success, they must not contln-
... a policy which omitted Air. Bryan
from consideration as leader In the
party councils. Mr. Bell declared that
the affections of millions still were
witness of the other's success.
"Without collusion It would have
been impossible to have written
counts so similar, and yet in view of
the ungracious controversy that has
occurred since that view would he fra
posslblo to imagine.
"While I have never believed that
either of you got within a pin-point of
the pole. I have steadfastly hold that
both got as near the goal as was pos
sible to ascertain considering the im-
centered on Mr. Bryan and that his. perfections of the Instruments used
views must be given the most serious an<J thn p eraonB j errors of Individuals
