THE B088 BARBECUE.
AS Hays' Springs, September «.
There is no finer section of farm
ing country in Southwest Georgia
than tho “red levels” in the south
western portion of Sumter county,
and no moro intelligent, prosper
ous and hospitable people on the face
of tho globe than the farmers of
that section. It was little wonder,
then, that the announcement of a
barbecue to be given by those peo
ple drew together a largo concourse
of people at Mays’ Springs on
Thursday of last week, for they
knew that there would be a table
spread with an abundance of the
substantials and luxuries of life,
and that no pains would be spared
to make all feel at home.
Of course the editor of the Re-
cobukk nnd his family were on
hand, for he has been too long in
too business to neglect such an
opportunity of providing for him
self and family a square meal. We
put this in because it is a stock
joke and no notice of a barbecue, is
complete without it. Not that edi
tors don't live as well as any one
in the land, or are any hungrier than
other people; but because it is a
popular superstition, and if we
didn’t pretend that we wero con
tinually on the verge of starvation
our subscribers would never think
of paying tiieir subscriptions.
Now that our presence there is sat
isfactorily explained, let ns pro
ceed to describe the barbecue.
The barbecue was held in a beau
tiful shady grove, where a stand
and scats had been erected, and
near by, from under the roots of
two large white oak trees bubbled
forth two bold streams of clear,
cool water, sufficient to quench the
thirst ot thousands or turn a mill
wheel. We have rarely seen a
more beautiful place to hold a pic
nic, and we hope Capt. Mays will
reserve it for that purpose until
the railroad is built, when it would
make a splendid summer resort.
A committee was in waiting to
Amerlcus was well represented,
both in number and character.
The candidates were represented
by Judge Crisp for Congress, J.
N. Hudson for Senator, W. M.
Hawkes for Representative, and W.
H. Cobb for Sheriff.
The success of the occasion was
largely due to the untiring efforts
of Capt. Mays and his son Doug-
las, Messrs. Thomas, Market, Dav
enport and Rhodes, who wero
always ready with a pleasant word
am) willing attention for all.
As this barbecue was given to
celebrate the location of the A, P.
A L. railroad through that section,
we hope next year to attend one in
the same place in celebration of the
completion of the road.

welcome the guests and see that
they were properly card for, and
that committee performed their
duty well.
About 'ten o’clock Capt. Mays
called the audience together around
the speaker’s stand and bid them
welcome to tho hospitalities of the
people of that section, and at his
suggestion Prof. C. H. Wooten, of
Amcricus was made master of cer
emonies. In a neat little speech
he introduced Hon. W. M. Hawkes,
who, notwithstanding ids plea of
not feeling well, acquitted himself
as ho always does—with credit to
himself and pleasure to his hearers.
Hon. C. F. Crisp was next intro
duced and in an able manner dis
cussed the political questions of
tho day. Judge Crisp is a clear
and forciblo speaker, with a most
pleasant delivery, and his speech
was attentively listened to by all-
Ho was followed by Judge W. A.
Hawkins in a brief, timely and
witty address.
Then followed the dinner, and
here the descriptive power of tho
pencil weakens, for a well-cooked,
finely seasoned barbecued shoat or
kid is something to be appreciated,
not to be analyzed. Although
there were about GOO people pres
ent there was plenty for all and to
spare. Tbe.-e were about thirty
carcasses cooked, and about one-
third of them were left uncarvcd.
It was the unanimous opinion of
those present that they had never
tasted finer cooked and seasoned
meat, the credit of which is due to
Mr. Rhodes, who superintended
the barbecuing. The long tables
were not only well filled with
meals, but with all other articles
that could tempt the appetite. It
was in vaiu that the most deter
mined assaults were made upon
the viands, constant reinforcement
of supplies kept the table full, and
even those veteran trenchermen,
Messrs. John R. Shaw, C. T. Fur-
low, Judge IMsbury and Capt. A.
C. Bell were compelled to abandon
the fight and beat a retreat.
The dinner over, the afternoon
was spent In pleasant social con
verse, the renewal of old acquaint
ance and the recital of roininisceo-
cea. A more pleasant and social
gathering we have never seen. All
seemed to enjoy themselves to the
utmost, and there was not a single
unpleasant occurrence to mar the
harmony of tho occasion.
At a meeting ofthc directors of
the Americtis, Preston and Dump-
kin Railroad, held on Friday, it
was deoided to build the road oa
tho narrow gnage plan. Tho argu
ment in favor of making this change
is that the cost of construction is
so much less that by using the
present subscriptions and bond
ing the road for a small amount
the road can be built and equipped
by tlie stockholders, who will then
own and control the road ; while
to build a standard gunge road
would necessitate giving tiie con
trol of it to the Central or some
other road. As a narrow guage
road will accommodate all tho
traffic likely to pass over a road
through that section, it was deem
ed best that its control should re
main in the hands ot the people
along the line. Wo believe the di
rectors have acted wisely, and
their action will be endorsed by
the poopie. Wc understand that
an effort will be immediately made
to build a narrow guage road from
Americus to Vienna. The people
of Dooly are extremely anxious to
secure railroad communication and
they have promised liberal sub
scriptions. Such a road would
certainly be a benefit to Amcricus,
and to the Central road as a feeder,
as at present tiie great bulk of the
Dooly trade goes to Hawkinsville
and is carried over the K. T. V. A
G.road.

There is nothing that adds more
to the prosperity and growth of a
city than its home manufactories,
and it should be the pride of every
oitizeu to encourage the building
np of such industrial institutions
by giving them their patronage
and saying a good word for them.
Snob a deserving institution is
the carriage manufactory of Oliver
A Oliver, in this city. Beginning
in a small way, they have gradual
ly built up a business the extent of
whleh few of our citizens are
aware, und we doubt not they would
be surprised at its magnitude if
they were to visit the manufactory,
They have built up this business,
in the face of great competition
and opposition, by doing good
work and letting it speak for itself.
Their motto has been to prodttoo
the best class of work and sell it at
as low a price as good work can be
sold for. In this manner they have
built np a reputation that extends
over the State, and they arc con.
elantly in receipt oforaors from
abroad.
A few days ago wc visitod
their faotory and made
ful inspection of their methods.
VVe found in their store rooms
largo quantities of seasoned hint
her of all kinds and dimen
sions. The lumber they have cut
to order'; it is then carefully nsaor
ted, dried in the shade and kept at
ail times under shoiter. In tills
way they socure the very be9t ma
terial for wagon axles, beds and
buggy bodies. They also buy di
rect from the manufacturers large
stooks of carriage wheels, shafts,
tongues, trimmings, ornaments,
oto.. selecting only the best and
latest. As they subscribe for all
the periodical literature in their,.
line of business, they are enabled
to keep up with tho times—adopt
all the latest improvements and
styles. They carry this through
even tho smallest details, and it is
for tills reason that their work is
good in every part.
In every department of the
workshops, from the forge to tho
finishing work,arc found eareful and
skillful workmen who thorough
ly understand their business, as
they must to work in this estab
lishment Every piece of work is
carefully inspected before it is al
lowed to go into a buggy, All
through the shops we found bug
gies in the various stages of con
struction. No work is hurried
through, yet the work is so kept
np that a buggy can at any timo
bo turned out to order on short
notice.
One of the specialties of this
establishment is the building of a
shifting seat buggy, so arranged as
to be converted from a single to a
double scat buggy in a few sec
onds, and when so arranged, so
perfect are its proportions, the
weight being equalized upon the
springs, so that there is no heavy
weight on the hind # end os in all
other shifting double scats, it would
be thought that the scats were sta
tionary and It was expressly con
structed for a double seat. When
arranged for a single seat, there is
no sign of the other scat. These
buggies arc made with tho Dexter
Queea spring, and Oliver A Oliver
were the first manufacturers to
build a double scat upon these
springs, lit the ware-room wc
notioed one ot these buggies which
had been made for Mr. J. R. Boyd,
of Leary, Oa. Messrs. B. P. Hol
lis and P. F. Brown, of this city,
arc also usi ug them.
As an evidence of the easy rid
ing quality of the buggies manu
factured by Oliver A Oliver, we
mention an incident that occurred
a few days ago. Two parlies
started Irom this city for Magnolia
Springs, carrying their lunch with
them. One of them rode in one of
Oliver’s buggies, and the other in
a buggy of some other manu
facture. On arriving at the
Springs, the party that were rid
ing in the Oliver buggy round
their Inncb basket as neat as when
they started, the dishes and jelly
tumblers were all intact and every
thing as it should be. The party
who rodo in the other buggy were
not so fortunate, for they found
tbefr Jelly and pickles mixed up
together, their dishes cracked and
tilings generally in a mixed con
dition. The moral of this anec
dote and this article is, when yon
want a good bnggy goto Oliver A
Oliver for It.
