THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1891. Shoes for Young! Shoes for Old! Shoes for Rich! Shoes for Poor! LOOK VALUABLE INVENTION. MR. J.l. HATFIELD OF CORDELE AS AN INVENTOR. An Indicator to be Used at Saw Mills That H ill Prevent Confusion and 8a' Time and Labor—Something About the Useful Device. 'AT YOUR SHOES! -THE— Great American eagle’ SHOE STORE, 119 Forsyth St. Has just what you want. Mr. J. I. Hatfield, a practical saw mil man formerly of Commissioner, Ga., but now of Cordele, seeing tbe necessity of some device for assisting the sawyer in I giving signs to tbe setter of head blocks, I etc., studied out aud had patented tbe | following described invention: [ This invention lias for its object the provisions of a simply constructed and effective indicating dovice, having a series of keys to be manipulated by the sawyer which operates a corresponding series of properly marked indicator plates to raise or otherwise exhibt one or more of them at a time to indicate to tbe bead block setter bow much to set Will fl.j, t) tile head blocks for tho resultant cut or HEW Jllr I width of timber. Heretofore it lias been usual to call the required set, which amid tho noise of tlio machinery it is difficult to hear, and is often misunderstood. Or to indicate it by motions of tho fingers, which is not reliable, and is open to possibility of frequent mistakes by the sawyer and misunderstanding by the head block setter. In case of an inexperienced hand having the setting of the head blocks in charge it is very liable to re sult in mistakes and blunders, and when a mistake of this sort is made it is never discovered until the cut of tiio saw is made and often not till the whole stick is sawed, thus resulting in the loss of much lumber. Hut witli an Indicator, such as tho accompanying cut shows: ,1 "A Sweeping Reduction ■will be made’ on all Foot-Wear purchased of us iu tbe (Mext 30 Days I In this Sweeping Sacrifice Sale nnpreceedented bargains will bo offered on all LOW CUT SUM MER SHOES, andjwe expect that tbe announcement of this salo will (( We are not after room as most merchants would say—but are AF TER MONEY—room we have enough—but are SHORT ON MONEY.

THE NAME- TIE V AIMS K SHOE STORE. THE PLACE:— 119 Forsyth St., AMERICUS, GA. N. B.—No goods charged at theso ent prices, bnt will be charg ed at our regular prices. Bifejffai JOHN.R. SHAW. No mistakes can bo made by reason of insufficient or indistinct directions, as the plain and exact figures are marked both upon the keys and upon the indi cator plates. No mistakes can arise ex cept from tbe carelessness or indiffer ence of either the sawyer or head-block setter, or both, and this is not likely to occur. The using of this indicator does away with the use of an extra hand or two frequently, and it greatly facilitates the cutting of lumber. The operation of tbe device is plain. By pressing on the key lever to which the indicator bar is attached, the desired number will be exhibited in plain view to thead-block setter. If a set of a whole number and a fraction is wanted, tho sawyer presses down both of the dosirod keys at the same time. And in pressing one or more of the key levers it releases the indicator plates of tho preceding sets. This invention was patented May 5 of this year, and is being manufactured by tho Cordele machine shops for tho pur pose of ’being introduced. Several of them aro being used by different saw mills in this section, and are giving en tire satisfaction. They are doing all that is claimed for them. As Mr. Ilat- fied has other inventions on hand which are occupying liis time in developing, he offers tb sell tho patent right to manu facture and sell this valuablo invention. Manufacturers or others who would like to get hold of a good selling and pretlta- blo invention, would do well to corre spond w ith the patentee, Mr. J. I. Hat field, Cordele, Ga. i Mr. Hatfield acted wisely in having this invention manufactured by the Cor- delo machine shop. The substantial and perfect manner in which this machine is executed, re flects great credit on an institution of Cordele which is supplying a long felt want in this rapidly developing pine re gion of Georgia. Inventors, mill men, and others needing any manufacturing done would find it to their interest to sec what advantages the Cordele ma chine shop offers before sending it off to have dono. This shop is prepared to do all kinds of manufacturing from a steam engine down to a bracket. Ever since it was started a few months ago, they liavo been kept quite busy aud it is increas- ng in popularity and Usefulness every day. Besides supplying tho large de mand at home for its products, it is fill ing frequent orders from the surround ing country and along tho various rail road lines leading out from Cordele. As specimens of its work, which may be seen in. Cordele any day, I would mention the iron front of tho “racket store,” tho beautiful columns and other iron work in Ihe “Suwanee Hotel” and the roan holes for tho sowers. The following list contains some of the many things which they aro prepar ed to supply promptly and cheaply as can bo had elsewhere: All kinds of iron and brass castings, steam pipes aud fit tings, globe, check and angle valves, beltings, Barry’s circular saws, Mintcr’s saw tools, dressed lumber, moulding and brackets. , .. Special attention is given to plumbing. This concern has ample capita! on which to operate, bat its phenomenal success is doe to the first-class men men who are connected with it and whose names are a guarantee of satisfaction nnd success In their respective depart ments. Mr. R. G. Tomlin, the presi dent, is known far and \yide as one of the most enterprising and successful developers of Southwest Georgia. Some of the good fruits of his labor can be seen along the line of the Georgia Southern railroad, where he operated during tho early success of the Macon Construction Company. Mr. R. C. Harris, secretary, treasurer and general manager, is a thorough ma chinist, having been emp’oyed for a number of years in the machine shops of the Central railroad and as an engineer. Besides being a practical, successful business man he is a pleasant and high toned gentleman. It would have been a difficult matter to have found a more suitable man to manage such a business. Mr. B. F. Cawley, foreman of the ma chine shop, is one of the best known machinists of Macon. Cordele is proud to claim this Christian gentleman and his delightful family as citizens of Cor dele. Mr. R. N. Porter, an experienced and skillful mechanic of Columbus, is in charge of the fourdry. The pattern maker is Mr. C. T. Pea cock, formerly of Macon. The splendid work turned out is due in a great meas ure to his superior skill in designing and making patterns for the shop. Mr. B. F. Windham is at the head of the wood working department where ho keeps thing moving like clock work. A visit to this plant would bo quite interesting to persons who have* not seen it.

Ruta baga, red top and all other va rieties of turnip Beed for fall and sum mer planting s Dr. Eldkicoe Maj. W. L. Glessner is a World’s Fair exhibit enthusiast. In reply to a ques tion from a reporter as to whether ho thought the general assembly would make a appropriation for such a purpose he said: “Yes, but not such an appropriation as was asked for by tho convention call ed by Governor Northern, nor so large a one as ought to,be made. I think that convention made a mistake in asking for so large a sum, for it gave the peo ple an idea that a piece of extravagance was to be indulged In. Neither do I think the convention mado it clear that an appropriation for such a purpose could be constitutionally made. “For theso reasons I find many mem bers opposed to an appropriation who would be glad to have an exhibit made at Chicago, and some of them have of fered to make liberal contributions to ward making such an exhibit. “I think that with $25,000 judiciously expended an exhibt can bo made that will fairly represent all tho resources and industries of Georgia in such a man ner as will attract general attention, is not alone in a separate state exhibit that Georgia should be represented. There will bo general departments of agriculture, horticulture, manufactures, minerals, forestry, etc., and in all these departments Georgia could bo represent ed at little cost. Many individuals would gladly contribute articles for compete tion iu these various departments. C “As showing how tho state could be well represented at very little expense, let mo givo you ono instance. A few days ago the commissioner of agricnl ture of this state received a letter from tbe chief of the forestry division of the World’s Fair, stating that it was his in tention to erect a building for that di vision to bo composed of woods from tbe several states of the union, and he requested that Georgia send him the trunks of three different trees that would best represent her lumber inter ests. The cost of sending these three tree trunks would be comparatively small—I think the railroads would transport them free—and Georgia wouh} thus have a representation in tho build ing, but Colonel Nesbitt has neither the money nor the authority to procure the trees and have them properly shipped, and unless something is done Georgia will be unrepresented in ono of her greatest resources. “As to the manner of securing tho nec essary funds for making an exhibit I think tho legislature should make an appropriation to the department pf agri culture for that purpose. If the legisla ture fce\s that the state should not fur nish the full amount, let them appropri ate $10,000 or $15,000, which would give the sta.o sanction to the exhibit, and serve os a nucleus fund. With the nucleus I tliind the balanco could bo secured from tbe railroads, manufact urers, lumber associations, land and mineral companies, towns and individu als. I do not think tliero can bo. found any constitutional objection to making this appropriation through tho depart ment of agriculture, and certainly no more appropriate channel could be found. If it is constitutional to levy taxes for tho support of the agricultural department, and it unquestionably is, it is also constitutional to authorize it to make exhibits of tho natural rpsources of tho state at such place and under such restrictions as the general assembly may deem to tho best interests of tho people. It is merely conferring addi tional powers upon an institution al ready constitutional In existence—a question of policy and not of law. “While Georgia is porhapsas weli, if not better known, than any of tho south ern states, tho people abroad have no conception of her natural and undevel oped wealth; in fact, It Is not go ing too far to say that very fow persons at home realize it. Tho impetus such an exhibition would give to the introduc tion of foreign capital and to the devel opment of our state is beyond calcula tion. Knowing, zys I do, the largo benefi cial results that have resulted to other states from making exhibits of their re sources at these great expositions, I feel extremely anxious that Georgia should improve this, tho greatest op portunity offered. 'Georgia has tho rep utation of being one of the most liberal and progressive of the southern states, and I cannot but feel that her represen tatives will maintain that reputation by aiding her citizens to make a creditable showing at the World's fair.” JAS.
