THE MILITARYMAY DISBAND
Outlook is Ominous for the Light Infantry-Company
In Need of Help.
After January Ist, three months
hence, the Americus Light Infantry
may be but a memory unless some
thing is done in the interim to bols
ter up the company. It is in need
of assistance, and unless this is given
it will the board.
Several of the Georgia command?
are in the same unfortunate plight,
but the Light Infantry, financially, is
in worse condition than any.
The company has no source of rev
enue, except what is paid by the mem
bers as dues. It is in debt more than
S2OO and the monthly dues are nec
esarily applied to current expen
ses.
This old debt, as much as any
thing else discourages the men.
Captain Van Riper, whose personal
efforts, to a great extent, keeps the
command up to its present stand
ard, has made a statement to Board
of Trade and asked the appointment
of a committee from that body to se
cure aid for the company.
If this cannot be done, Capt. Van
Riper thinks the outlook for a longer
maintenance of the organization any
thing than roseate.
In all probability he will tender
his resignation in January.
On that date the new government
MANY SPINNERS IN MEETING
Discuss Matters of Vital Interest to Cotton Manu
facturing,
ATLANTA, October B.—With dele
gates present representing every phase
of the coton industry ,froni the time
it leaves the planter’s hand to the
time the product, woven into fabrics,
is sent to markets of the world, and
including representatives of many for
eign countries, 'the International Con
ference of Cotton Spinners and Grow
ers held its second day’s session today
at the capitol.
More than 500 delegates were pres
ent, nearly a hundred of these rep
resenting the great mils of Germany,
Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain
and Portugal, with an aggregate
wealth of farm lands, coton crop and
mills of nearly four billions of dol
lars.
IRON DEPOSIT !S VALUABLE
Americus Man Is Assured of Great Wealth Covering
His Broad Acres.
Iron ore in greatest abundance
covers many broad acres on the Snid
er plantation, six miles from Ameri
cus, and is found in quantities upon
other lands in that locality as- well.
The ore has been tested by the State
chemist, who pronounces it very val
uable, containing 50 per cent of pure
metallic iron.
Mr. Snider is very much elated
over the result of the test made of the
ore, which is found in abundance on
his farm.
Some time since he brought a wag
on load of the ore to Americus, not
knowing fully what it was, though
satisfied that it was iron ore, as were
all others who examined it.
The ore is black, and large frag
ments of it, weighing from 10 to 100
pounds, cover Mr. Snider’s fields in
every direction and is under the sur
face as well. For longe years he
has grown cotton over his iron dep
osits, little suspecting the values of
his possessions.
Col. W. T. Lane suggested send
ing particles of the ore to the de
partment of agriculture for exami
nation, and he has received the fol
lowing statement from Commissioner

miltary laws become effective, re
quiring a minimum enlistment of 58
men in each company, or nearly dou
ble the present A. L. I. enlistment.
Few companies in the State service
can enlist 58 men, unless there is a
combination among them.
On this point it may be stated that
conditions in Albany are almost as
bad as in Americus, at least from
the standpoint of military interest.
The Albany company owes no debts,
but the enlistment, it is said, is far
from what it should be.
The Guards as well as the Light
Infantry need bolstering.
The Albany council appropriates
$450 annually to the support of its
military company, while an equal
amount is raised from the sale of
jury exemptions—a nucleus of S9OO.
An Albany officer high in authority
suggests the consolidation of the Am
ericus and Albany commands after
January Ist as the best means of
retaining them in the service. This
suggestion meets with favor here as
well, and the course may be adopted.
Something should he done by citi
zens of both towns to keep up the
military commands. Once out of com
mission, it would be difficult, if not
impossible, to restore them.
During the sessions questions of
the greatest importance to grower
and spinner alike will be taken up for
discussion and action, and it is hop
ed that this meeting will result in a
better understanding between the
men who produce cotton and those
who weave the staple into fabrics.
That this will result was indicated
by the talk of many of the delgeates
after the addresses at today’s ses
sion, in which the great losses to
spiners by reason of poor methods of
handling and shipping the raw pro
duct were shown and the great sav
ing that would be effected to both
grower and spinner if more system
and more care were used in the initial
handling of the products of the fields.

Hon. W. T.. Lane, Americus, Ga.
Dear Sir—Your letter received. 1
immediately inquired about the samp
les of iron ore sent in by you and
both Dr. McCandless rnd Prof. Mc-
Call ie stated that this ore contained
60 per cent, of Oxide of Iron or from
45 to 50 per cent, metallic iron.
Prof McCallie, who has had a
great deal of experience with ores of
this character, states that this is un
questionably very valuable, provided
you have it in sufficient quanity to
make it profitable to work.
Now, it would seem that the best
thing would he to have some one to
make an examination to find out the
quantity of ore you have, and if you
desire I will undertake to have a
man go to your place and make the
examination for you. Let me here
from you. Yours truly,
T. G. HUDSON.
As this ore is here in greatest
abundance, thousands of tons, no
doubt, Mr. Snider will have a good
thing in his ore deposits and will
proceed to develop them.
