6 THE AMERICA'S DAILY T1MES-REC0RDER: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1391. LAST OF THE SEASON. THEAMERICUS BARBECUE CLUBON ITS LAST INNING. The Wind Up of 1801-A Km.t of Hoe nml Oratory— Uv.rj body Happy—The Porker aud "Trimming*" Enjnyv.l Hugely— Tlmnk. to the 8. A. M. Hoy*. Tbo genuine, old fashioned southtru hog barbecue la a n nelly to even many a man who has lived in the south for years. It is a social reunion and feast peculiar to our people, and one that is not often enjoyed outside of Georgia For seven years the Americas barbe cue Club has observed this old-t custom of social entertainment, and during this period the club has had th honor of entertaining some of the most eminent men in the land. On these monthly festal occasions all differences, political and otherwise, arc buried, and harmony and good fellow ship prevail. In short, all the guests and members of the club meet on the dead level of common humanity, and north erner and southerner exchange senti ments of sympathy which are delightful to listen to for the time being and en couraging for all time to come. While the entertainments in the past of the Amcricua Barbecue Club hare always been delightful, yet the wind-up of the season of 1801 yesterday was con spicuously enjoyable. In the first place the bog and “trimmings” were all that the fancy of the moat exacting epicure could Imagino, and the “wet goods” filled the bill to overflowing. After full justice was done to the solids and fluids, and everybody felt mellow and happy, Col. E. O. Simmons was persuaded to come to the front and explain to the club what excuse he had for being alive. Col. Simmons stepped forward, and in a very able and interesting speech told the club that he was glad to be alive and to be with them on all such occa sions. For his part, be could not under stand how any man conld ever wish to die while the Amerlcus Barbecue Club was dispensing such hospitality and good cheer among their fellow men. He hoped that the club would continue In well-doing while hog meat grew in -Georgia. Hon. William if. Qawkes was the # next offender arraigned at the bar of the Club. This gentleman made an able and,elo quent defense. He claimed that he was on the grounds of the club, not only to devour bis share of the succulent porker and to imbibe the exhilarating German elixir, bnt to tender a vote of thanks to the S. A. M. boys who had ao magnifi cently contributed to the happiness of the occasion. His only regret was that there were not more of the & A. If. boys present to enjoy the festivities. In •conclusion he moved a vote of thanks to the donors of the feast Ur. Hawkes was acquitted of any guilty intention to do the dead bog any bodily barm, but was bound over to answer the German elixir charge before the tame tribunal next April. The next victim was an Itinerant ven der of ancient history and Muekalee lore. Ur. U. U. Folsom was dragged to the front by the chief of police, who baa him In charge while he remains In this vicinity. This defendsst belongs to the tribe known as “Scribes,” and distantly related to the “.Pharisees" of old. On taking the stand Mr. Folsom declared that ho was innocent; that be didn't know the first thing about how the bog got there, or who roasted the animal; and that be never took a drink of Ger man beer In hts life—that It was too mild a dose for bis educated appetite. If he drank at all, ho wanted something that be could fcol all the way through his anatomy. The jury, In the case of Ur. Folsom, brought in a verdict of “lying in the first degree,” and for the next six months the Atlanta Journal will have to jog along as best It can without the ser vices of one of Its ablest correspondents. Chief of Police Lingo will receive Ur. Folsom's mall until his friends come for ward and pay his flue. Then came Dr. W. P. Burt, Ur. J. C. Roney, Ur. J. W. Bulla, Ur. H. T. Davenport, and others, all of whom had some excuse to offer for being caught on the grounds. But the toughest case was that of Dan Borum, the chorister of the club, who disappeared before the formal closing of the services. This entirely uulooked for action on the part of Mr. Borum threw the club Into a fit, and without the slightest hesitancy the aforesaid Daniel was fined five dollars. The singers of the club then favored the assemblage with a few choice selec tions, after which tlio Amerlcus Barbe cue Club adjourned for tbe year 1801. At the close of tbe festivities,it was re marked by a gentleman present that the S.A. M. railroad boys wound up the pres ent barbecue year in good shape, but that the alliance members would discount them in e*ery way when they opened up the season of 1892. The thanks of every man who has en joyed the hospitalities of the club dur ing the present season are on record, and to each member feelings of gratitude were freely expressed in the good old saying—“May you all live long and pros per!” COTTON CONVENTION. Georgia Grower* H ill Meet anti I>l*eu.* rite Crop. It has been arranged for the cotton growers of Georgia to liolil a convention in Atlanta next Monday. The convention grew out of resolut adopted by the Farmers’ Alliance, in coin).linnet, with which the foil,tv call has been promulgated: To the President of stata Alliances, Statu Guinns, state Agricultural Socio ties, and other Agricultural Associations: in pursuance of a resolution adopted by I the State Alliance ef South Carolina, Georgia, anti other states, a convention | of delegates from all state organizations Interested in the cultivation rtf cotton, its manufacture and sale,is hereby called to meet in Atlanta on Tuesday, tlio I4tli inst. We expect every agricultural state or ganization to send delegates, colored as well as w hite. Every question connected with tbe cotton crop of the south will be under discussion. Como one, come all. I- F. Livingston, Georgia. R J. Sledge, Tennessee. W. H. Duncan, South Carolina. Andy Garfin, Florida. The convention will bo attended by delegates from every county In the state, and will have for Its object the adoption of a general plan to advance the value of cotton. Florida Phosphate. Capt. Thus. M. Allen has just returned from Florida, where lie has largo phos phate interests. Capt. Allen Is manager of agencies for the Americus National Building and Loan Association, and while on a visit to Florida, in the inter- est of his association, about two months ago, be was so favorably Impressed with the phosphate business that he decided to Invest In some lauds In that section, and with Messrs. E. Taylor and W. P. Wallis made large purchases. His last trip to the land of flowers and phosphates was to more thoroughly test the value of tbe deposits ou the lands which he bad purchased. He made thorough examination and la highly pleased with the results. He has al ready been offered a handsome profit, reaching Into the thousands, on his In- vestments, but is so fully satisfied of Its value that he will hold it for a yet lar ger advance. Success to the captain and hla associates. FREE DELIVERY.

U. road Is located at Lumpkin, by name the “Brooks House,” presided over by Hiss Willie Brooks, one of the most popular ladles of tbe traveling publlo to southwest Georgia. The table la supplied with the beat ths markets afford, and no one who enters there but reiterates' the praise that has gone abroad In connection with the Brooks House. Sample rooms for the accommodation of the traveling evan gelist la a special feature of this house. It Is the travelers’ home In every sense of the word, and those who visit Lump kin and do not stop at the Brooks House know not what they miss. Called to Alabama. Yesterday morning Ur. L. F. Oakley, of the firm of Beall A Oakley, received a telegram from bl* wife, who it visiting ber old home, Columbia, Ala., that hla little daughter was very sick, and to come at once. Ur. Oakley left on the af ternoon train, aeeompanied by Dr. George J. Miller, who goes to attend the little sufferer. Tiie Tiues-Recod- dek hopes that tbe little one may soon recover. representing t’ :rvice, lias been in cek looking into in general, and whether we are entitled to a free deliv ery in particular. It is gratifying to bo able to report that Mr. Bulla is satisfied tiiat Americus is ontitlcd to all the advantages accruing to a post-office business which lias reached the financial receipts specified by law. Not only in point of business is Americus entitled to these postal advan tages, but oar increase of population in tbo past few years has something to do with the matter. The annual postal receipts at this point are far in excess of #10,000, and our population is not far from the same figures. Consequently, as soon as pos sible, say about the middle of October, our people will be enjoying the free de livery system, with twenty-six street mall boxes, and one at each depot and one at tbe new hotel. To serve this free delivery of mail matter four carriers will be required, and the city will be divided into four districts. An engineer lias drawn a map of the city, and the mail boxes will be located at tbe most advantageous and conven ient points. Of course it will take some time to arrange all the details of the work and get thing! into working order, but it is safe to predict that the 15th of next month will see four of our citizens wear ing tbe postal uniform of Uncle Sam and delivering mall matter at our doors morning and evening. Ur. Bulla makes a most favorable re port of the condition of our post-office, and speaks very highly of the efficiency of our postmaster. All of which la not only very pleasant to our postoffice officials, but to the en tire community. This may be considered as one of the best evidences of the growth and pros perity of the city we live in. May we oontlnue-to grow and) prosper, is the wish of The Tiues-Recordeb. THE BASEBALL WORLD.
