Jfessrs. A. S. Cutts and J. A. McDon
ald, Sumter’s able representative! In the
.general assembly, came down from At
lanta yesterday to spend the Sabbsth
with their families here. They will re
turn to their duties to-morrow evening.
Detective Bill Jones, the holy terror of
evildoer*in Georgia, was in the city
yesterday on matters of business. No
one knows whence he comes or whither
he goes, bnt certain It Is he gete there
all the same when hla services are need
ed to hunt up violators of the law.
Thjfestlve watermelon la a drug on
th^market tn .Americus. Dozens of
wagons loaded with the finest speci
mens of this delicious fruit thronged
the streets yesterday, but ten and fif
teen cents was about the best prices that
could be obtained, while many fine ones
went for a nickel.
Notwithstanding the bard times and
the general dullness In all branches of
business, the S., A. & U. rood seems to
have about all It can do in the way of
freight shipments. The road’s business
is holding up remarkably well, and men
and machines are kept as busy now ss at
any season of the year.
The machinery at the new Ice factory
it now working all right, and the works
are running on full time day and night
This factory has a daily capacity of
eighteen tons, which, with the output of
the "old reliable" Americus Ice Works
will serve to keep things In a frigid state
while the heated Jerm it upon us.
A slight change in schedule on the
Southwestern division of the Central
goes Into effect to-night. Hereafter the
train from Macon will arrive at Ameri
cus at 10:33 p. m., Instead of 0*6 as be
fore, making a dlffercnco of just one
hour. There Is no change In the sched
ule of the north bound morning train.

blook to one of the handsome new store
rooms in the Hotel Alhambra, now near

shortly for the northern markets, where
he will purchase a large and select stock
for his new store.
The mid-summer heat seems to have
a depressing effect upon the delightful
meetings of “The Club,” which have
proved auoh a source of pleasure to lit
erary and social Americus. Many of
the members are absent, enjoying the
ocean brehzea and mountain air, but
can’t The Club get a quorum—what aay
you President Speer?
Tax Receiver Mize is still busily en
gaged getting the returns already made
in proper shape. There will be little If
any falling off In the figures of last year,
notwithstanding the increase over the
year previous was more than a million
dollars, ss Receiver Mize keeps both eyes
wide open and sees to it that all prop
erty is returned for taxes at a just and
fair valuation.
A lodge of Odd Fellows will be or
ganized In Americus on Tuesday eve
ning next. The ceremonies promise to
be quite Interesting, and will be partic
ipated in by the ,Columbos lodge, and
perhaps lodges from other cities as well.
The Americus lodge will have more
than forty charter members, which num
ber will be rapidly Increased as the
order is a very popular one.
A few dayi ago the Central road car
ried a train of bananas from Savannah
to Atlanta, a distance of 290 miles In
twelve hours. In ten mlnutei after the
arrival of the train in Atlanta the cars
were In the Western A Atlantic yard,
This Is regarded by railroad men a re
markable run, os the train had to
change engines and crews at Macon and
make several stops along the line.

a notion to do so again, they are stt 11 at

The Manufacturers’ Record of July 25
says;
Shrewd financiers who recognize the
foot that the time to make Investments
Is during periods of depression caused
by monetary stringency, and who also
appreciate the facts that this country
has not stopped growing, and that in
dustrial development, Instead of being
overdone, Is still In its Infancy, as com
pared with what the future will show,
are qnletly laying their plans for im
portant operatives. Their wisdom will
be seen when activity returns, for then
their enterprises will be all ready
to take advantage of prosper
ous times. The movements
of capitalists In this direction
are Illustrated by reports In the Manu
facturers’ Record of the purchase for Im
mediate development of 25,000 acres of
iron and timber land near New Castle,
Va., at an advance of 200 per cent, over
the price which It sold for last Septem,
her; the decision of the owners of about
70,000 acres near the same place to com'
mcnco Its active development and to
construct a ten-milo railroad for this
purpose; the sale of 6,000 acres of Iron
ore property near Fredericksburg, Va.
the purchase of the Columbia (8. C.)
canal for 6200,000 by New England capl
toilets, who will utilize Its great water
power by building cotton mills, eto.; the
purchase of 000 acres of land near Balti
more by Pittsburg manufacturers, who
will build a manufacturing town; the fait
organization of a 63,500,000 company at
New Birmingham,Tex.,composed largely
of English capitalists Interested In Mid-
dletborough, Ky., to build an iron-mak
ing town; the organization of a 61,000,000
mining company to operate at Llano, the
groat Bessemer ore center of Texas,
These are a few of the big things re
ported for tho week that indicate the
tendency of capitalist! to be on the look
out for good Investments despite finan
cial stringency.
Among other enterprises reported in
this week’s Issue of the Manufacturers’
Record is a 61,000,000 salt oompany in
Kentucky; a cotton mill at Charlotte,
N. C.; an 639,000 contract for water
works engines at Savannah; an 630,000
rolling mill and cotton tie company at
Dcqlson, Texas; a 6300,000 sale of phos
phate land in Florida; an increase of
6500,000 in the capital stock of gas and
water works company at Macon, tia., for
enlargements; a 6500,000 phosphate
company in Florida; a 650,000 woolen
mill oompany In Texas and a
6100,000 lumber company in the same
State; a 6200,000ooal oompany in West
Virginia; a 679,000 Improvement com-
a n ■ mA . exnmn
company In West Virginia; a 6100,000
improvement company in Manchester,
Va., one of 650,000 in Basaio City, Va.,
and one of 640,000 in Louisville, Ky.;
625,000 waterworks in Brunswick, Md.;
a 620,000 cottonseed-mill company in
Texas; large fire-brick works in South
Carolina, Ac. For a mid-summer week,
with Europe and America puzzled over
financial matters, this summary shows a
really remarkable degree of activity In
Southern development, and Indicates
what may be expected this fall and win
ter with a return of confidence to the
business world.
A Pleasant Occasion.
Prominent among the many delight
ful social events of the past week was
the entertainment on Thursday evening
at Leeton park, tendered by Miss Eula
Coker in honor of her friend, Miss Annie
Dozier, one of Dawson's fairest and most
popular young ladies
Notice,
The patrons of The Times-Recgrdeb
are urged to pay promptly the bills
which are now due for subscription, ad
vertising and job work for the past
month. A newspaper has to pay lta
labor the cash weekly, aud on the first
of the month It Is necessary for all its
bills to be promptly collected.
The current expenses of Tue Times-
Recorder establishment are about 650
per day, which must be paid every
Monday without fall or delay.
We are therefore compelled to press
collections; and while the small bills
that some owe may cause them to re
gard the matter as insignificant, these
small accounts aggregate several thou
sand dollars, which we are compelled to
collect promptly to meet our obligations.
A newspaper can't run a week with-
\ out money; so come up to the captain's
At an early hour tho merry party rode v,ffl C o and settle.

Envelopes! Envelopes!!
We have just received a big job lot of
manllla envelopes of fine quality, that
were bought at a bargain, and we can
print them for you with card, eto., cheap

white, and are good enough for all busi
ness purposes, and are much cheaper.
