Ladle* Expected.

Maj. W. L. Glessner, President of the

proposed excursion of the Association to
the northwest, and they are such as
promlso to inako this the most onjoyable
trip, both aa to pleasuro and Informa
tion, ever yet taken by tho Association.
Tlio only drawback to tho excursion is
tbo fact that there will be no ladies on
the excursion, tho railroads having re
fused transportation for thorn. This re
fusal no doubt arisos from the fact that
in previous years some of the members
of the press havo abused their privileges
by takiug along ladies who wore not
members of their families.
The details of tho trip, as arranged,
arc as follows:
Tho Association mcots In A Manta next

will board one of tlio elegant stoamors of
the Lako Michigan and Lake Suporior

ontiro length of Lnko Michigan, arriving

tho 22il.
Mackinac is tho finest summer resort in
tho north, and its fame lias been sung in

tions and natural beauty. Tho party

will again take a steamer and sail down
throngh Detroit River into Lako. Erie,

giving the Georgia boys opportunity to
set foot on Her Majesty’s soil. The fa
mous Peloo club house, on Sheridan
Point, is on this island, and the party
will boontertained at lunch at this club
house. After loavingPelcea run will ho

PrestrUnt Hsrrolil done to Baltimore to
Ut the Contract for Gas Works.
Yesterday the incorporators of tlie
company which is to* furnish Amerieus
with gas met, accepted its charter which
was recently granted, and perfected on
organization by electing this board of
■directors: U. B. Ilarrold, J. B. Felder,
H. K. Johnson, W. E. Murphey, leaving
one vacancy to bo filled by a Baltimore
capitalist.
The directors elected Mr. U. B. Har
row president and Mr. W. E. Murphey
secretary and treasurer.
Strictly a business one was tbo meet
ing and no time was lost in parleying.
It was agreed by all that no time should
be lost In providing Amorlcus with a
better article of gas than she has ever
hal before, at the earliest possible min
ute.
As lias been stated in Tub Times-Rk-
connEP., bids havo been received in Bal
timore for tho construction of Amori-
cus’ now gas plant. Tho directors yes
terday drew up all tho papers necessary
for tho letting of the contract and yes
terday afternoon President Harrold left
for Baltlmoro to act In conjunction with
tho Baltimore director and the engineers
who drew tlie plans in opening the bids
and letting the contract. Hr. Harrold
was accompanied by his wife.
As soon as possiblo after tho contract
is let work on tho plant will bo com
menced and it will he pushed night and
day until the contract Is carried out.
When tho now works is finished Ameri-
cus will havo tlio best gas known and
more than enough of It to supply tlie de
mand. The now tank will be sixty feet
in diameter, lacking jnst fifteen feet of
being threo times as large as tho old
Tlie earlier the company is able to
furnish gas the better suited the people
of Americas will bo.
The gas Is surely coming.

IIarmonv Alliance, May 20.—It is
sad for us to give up a brother that has
lived through tlio day of usefulness al-
lotod to man. But It Is shockingly sad
for it youthful brother who is barely In
tho prime of manhood to be summoned
from our midst. Brotbor Peal was but
a short time a member of tho alliance,
but was a truo and faithful member of
the order. Ifo was a Christian gentle
man, a dutiful son and a loving brother,
and In all of his dealings with bis fel
low man showed hls'Cliristlan character.
Therefore, bo It

Crops Damaged by Babbits.
In some portions of Schley county the
crops are being besieged by rabbits.
Yoatorday a well known planter who
lives near LaCrosso was in Amerieus
looking for a number of dogs which he
wanted to socure to run tho rabbits
which are feasting on his crops.
He reported that tho rabbits gather in
his field in large numbers nnd eat down
the corn and other crops so badly that
ho will reap no harvest at all unless he
can stop them, A party wil! go out
from the city in a fow days to havo a
day’s sport ridding the fields of tho
nimble pests.
The Entertainment Postponed.
Much to the gratification of the many
who could not havo attended on account
of the inclement weather, bad it boon
hold last evonlng as was Intended, - the
entertainment for the benefit of tho li
brary was postponed by the manage
ment. The people of Amerieus will ap
preciate tide, and they will show their
appreciation by greeting thoeo who
take part In the entertainment to-night
with tho largest audience ever assem
bled in Glover’s opera lioufe.
Go out to night, enjoy yourself, and
help tho library.
The Bridge la Xfeagar.
The middle bridge In the turnpike
across Muckalee crook was In dangor of
being washed sway yesterday. Street
Overseer Italford pat his hands to work
on It and saved it, but It Is unsafe and
elsewhere notice is given that passing
over it will not be allowed after 12
o’clock to-day until Saturday.
As it Is now the bridge is unsafe,so It
was decided by those In authority to
have travel over it to oeaie for awhile
so that it could be placed In • secure
condition.
Going Into Now Quarters.
To-day the Americas National Build
ing and Loan Association will move into
its new quarters in tho Johnson 4k Ilar

handsomest In Amerieus.
Owing to tho pressing demands of his
other business, Mr. Lott Warren has re

A LARGE COTTON FACTORY PRACTI
CALLY IN THE GRASP
Of Amorlcus, and as Snmtsr's Proud Capi
tal Is Not Slow to Take Hold of a Good
Thing Sha May bo Expected to Pluck
This Plum.
Amerieus may have a cotton factory.
Indeed a Timer-Recorder reporter
was Informed yesterday that it Is quite
likely she will have one.
It will be recalled that last year the
allianoemen of this section of the state
formed what was familiarly known as
tlio Alliance Cotton Bagging Factory
Association, tho avowed purpose of
which was to erect a cotton bagging fac
tory in Amerieus.
A site was selocted, and socurod, hut
forsomo reason satisfactory to thoso
who had the matter In charge the pro
posed factory never materialized. The
requisite amount of stock was taken,
and a considerable fimount of money, if
the reporter was rightly informed, was
paid in.
But the alliance -whipped its fight—
juto bagging jumped down to a price as
tonishingly low when compared with
tho prices whiob had been asked for it
before that organization took up the
fight against the juto monopoly. The
result was that there was no uso for the
cotton bagging factory.
During the early spring Maj. A. Ran
dall, of Griffin, a faotory builder of much
experience, suggested to somo of the
officers and directors of tho company
which was to erect tho bagging factory
the idea of erecting instead a regular
cotton factory, for the manufacture of
cotton cloth of all kinds, in the way of
homespuns and shirtings. Since then
these men have been considering Maj.
Randall’s suggestion.
The result is that thoy have about de
cided to adopt it
Amerieus offers a fine field for such
a factory, and the good ,tl|at it would
accomplish for tho farmer is apparent
to a casual observer. Ho could sell his
cotton at a better prico, get his clothes
cheaper and at tho samo time get his
pro rata of the profits of the foetory,
which, under othor circumstances ho
would actually pay out to someone else.
Amerieus has an extensive territory
which she could supply with cloth, and
cousorrative men think that the
proposed factory would pay from tho
start
So groat is Maj. Randall’s confidonco
In the success a cotton faotory would
meet with in Amerieus that be has of
fered to take a good big bloek of the
stock himself. There will bo no trouble
about getting any other portion of the
stock wldeh the alliancemen may not
want taken right here in Amerieus.
It is proposed to start a factory with a
capital of (50,000.
This sum, properly expended, as It
certainly would be by the men who had
the management of tho proposed cotton
bagging factory in chargo, assisted by
Maj. Randall, who has hod much expe
rience In getting factories ready for
work, would secure for Amerieus a fao
tory the suporior of many In tho state.
That would moan more people, more
trade for Amerieus merchants, more cot
ton for Amerieus and more money In the
pockets of the farmers of this section,
for they could sell cotton at odvancod
prices and also get a share In the
factory’s earnings If tlioy owned any
stock—and most of them have taken
stock In the company which It Is pro
posed to merge Into the factory company.
This matter Is being talked and favor
ably commented upon, and *t Is likely
that some fire will follow in the wake of
so much smoke.
A meeting of those interested will no
doubt bo called fur an early date to con
sider this matter. Maj. Randall will
address tho meeting, and state his
plans. The chances are greatly In favor
of those plans being acted upon.
That means tho cotton factory.
A cotton faotory will mean any num
ber of other manufactories, and an In
crease in her manufactories will mean
such prosperity for Amerieus as she has
never seen before. And Tun Times-Ux-
cordeh Is glad to say,—
The cotton factory Is almost assured
Tim Rally In Americas the Beginning of
Polk’s ’’Educational Campaign."
Tho grand allianco rally which was

President l’olk calls his “educational

J. B. Weaver of Iowa and tlio other

Senator Poitcr is also to bo here.
From Amorlcus ho will go to Montgom
ery nnd Birmingham, Ala. Tho othor
speakers will go to Atlanta, Athons and
ltomo In tho order named. Col. Living
ston has boon assigned to duty In Flor
ida and Mississippi, running through
this month and July, but ho will got off
long enough to lie present at tho Amer
icas rally.
Ia an interview recontly had Col. Polk-
has practically admitted that a now
party movement was probahlo, as ho did
not holiovo tho noxt congress wonld
afford tlio roliof tlio wago-workors of tho
land would insist upon. It is thought
by somo who aro not exactly behind tlie
sconos that thoso rallios will havo a
hearing on that matter, but that is de
nied by tlio fuct that Col. Livingston,
who spoko out against tho third party
wliilo at tho St. Louis convontlon, is to

A largo crowil will surely gather In
Amorlcus on July 14.

Wanted For Murder.
Charles Glass, a negro who is well
known In Americas, Is wanted at Indian
Springs for murder.
ne went there with another negro
named Lewis Ivey to secure work as
waiters at the Wigwam. A day or so
after they got there QIobs showed up at
the hotel without Ivey who, he said, ho
was searching for. Several days had
passed when a negro who was fishing in
the creek near by eaught Ivey’s body on
bis hook and pulled |t ashore. Tlicro
was a ballet bole through tho head.
It is thought Glass killed him for the
purpose of robbery. A bench warrant
was takon charging Gloss with murder,
but he had two days start of it and was
away.
