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.

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. In Hemarr of John G. Teal. 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.

O. A. Herndon, h. A. Walters, G. U. Hizo, Committee. 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.

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 rold building. Tlio rooms which tho as sociation’s offices aro to occupy are the handsomest In Amerieus. Owing to tho pressing demands of his other business, Mr. Lott Warren has re igned his position as secretary and treasurer. Hr. T. K. Alien will succeed 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 mentioned in The Times-Recordeb yes terday will ho tho beginning of, what President l’olk calls his “educational campaign.” Tho programme is to have northern speakers address southern au diences and southern speakers go north and west Tho Georgia campaign will bo vigor ous. It will bo opened by tho meeting hero. President Polk will he here him self, as will Sockless Jorry Simpson, Gen. J. B. Weaver of Iowa and tlio other spoakors montloned yostorday.' 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 tako a prominont part in tlio rallies. A largo crowil will surely gather In Amorlcus on July 14. Court Has Adjourned. Yesterday In Sumter superior court was devoted to civil business. By 2 o’clock every case on the docket had keen sounded and disposed of In some way. About that time the grand jury filed in and submitted Its presentments, which were read an ordered published. Then Judge Fort dismissed tho jurors and declared the court adjourned until June 22, when he will hear motions, after wbloh it wlU close for the term. This Is Judge Fort's last time on the bench In Sumter county. hin Thoncht Him Crazy. Cranberry Perry, tho boy who was caughtstealing sausages outof W. B, Mayo’s market Sunday was tried In tho superior court. There was no doubt as to his guilt but on it being proven that he is crazy and on account of bis ago the acting solicitor general allowed a ver dict to be taken in the boy's favor. 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. Given Their Position. Col. C. M.
