AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 1, 1907
ANOTHER BIGRANT HERE.
Americus to Have Still Another Large Fertilizer Man*
ufactory.
Americus, which is fast becoming
the centre of the fertilizer manufac
turing and cotton oil industry, is to
have still another large plant, the fifth
one of the kind here. A company
backed with ample capital will erect
the plant.
Information to this effect was given
out yesterday, although details are
withheld until organization is effected
and charter secured.
Americus and Columbus fertilizer
men are back of the enterprise.
The plant will be located upon the
site of the old cotton compress at the
foot of Spring street, with frontage on
both the Seaboard and Central Rail
ways, thus affording excellent trans
portation facilities in the shipment
of products of the mill.
Adequate buildings are already at
hand and with little expense can be
MANY GUESTS AT PARTY
ENJOY HALLOWEEN
Evening is Delightful One
For AIL
Prof. McNeil entertained at a very
delightful' Hallowe’en party last even
ing in honor of his assistants, Miss
Lula Matthews, and Miss Lily Reese.
The parlors were decorated with
autumn leaves, many “devils” mask,,
and jack’o-lanterns.
The guests were seated upon cush
ions on the floor. Many and lively
were the scenes and lively were the
games played, as each one tried to
fathom the future and read what was
written there.
Walnut shell boats were sailed up
on the mighty deep only to be cap
sized at the interesting moment.
The young men were particularly
unfortunate in ducking for apples,
but more successful 1 in “blowing out
candles.”
But whether or not they read the
future, ail had a splendid time, and
returned many thanks to the genial
Professor for a jolly evening. Punch
and a salad course was served dur
ing the evening.
Those present were: Misses Fay
Williams, Emmie Morgan, Florence
Niles, Margaret Buchanan, Madge
McAfee, Alice Boyd, Chloe Little

AMERICUS DELEGATES
RETURN YESTERDAY
From Meeting of Masonic
Grand Lodge.
Americus’ Masonic representatives,
delegates from Americus No 13,
Council No. 95 and Furlow No. 224 of
Plains who attended the session of
the Grand Lodge of the State in Ma
con this week, returned here yester
day, delighted with their trip and the
royal entertainment accorded them.
The attendance of Masons exceeded
twelve hundred, the largest in the
history of the Grand Lodge, but all
were well taken care of by hospitable
Macon. In the election of officers Mr.
Thomas H. Jeffries 'of Atlanta suc
ceeds Grand Master Meyerhardt, who
for many years has occupied that re
sponsible position. The new grand
master, Mr Jeffries, accepted the
choice of his Masonic brothers with
a short address, in which he thanked
them for the honor conferred upon
him and pledged himself to serve the
order to the very best of his ability.
He.is one of the best known Masons
in Georgia and all feel the greatest
confidence in him and expect to see
his administration also prove a bene
ficent one for the Masonry of Geor
gia.

remodeled and made ready for the
machinery.
Operations to this end will begin
at once, it is said.
Americus men closely identified
with the fertilizer trade, as are those
of Columbus associated with them,
will organize the company and manu
facture fertilizer on a large scale,
being prepared for the next season's
trade.
Americus now has the great plant
of the Americus Oil Co., that of the
Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co., the
extensive new plant of the Tennessee
Chemical Co., and the large plant
of the Farmers Oil Co., representing
a vast amount of capital.
The fifth mill will be fully equipped
with modern machinery, and thus
adds another to our lengthy list of
industries.
MONUMENT TO WIRZ
AT ANDERSONVILLE
Chapter Has Decided on
Site There.
Americus does not get the Wirz
monument, which, instead, w’ll be er
ected at Andersonville, where, as
commandant ut the Federal prison
with its forty-five thousand
occupants, he performed zealously
the work assigned him.
Such was the decision of the con
vention of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy yesterday.
Americus bid for the monument up
on the plea that, located here, it would
not engender the bitterness of the
North which its presence at Ander
sonville will 1 arouse.
The decision as to location was
reached yesterday morning.
Commander H. T. Davenport, of
Camp Sumter, 642, U. C. V. sent the
following telegram yesterday morning
to the U. D. C. convention.
Americus, Ga., Oct. 31.—Mrs. A. B.
Hull, president, U. D C.
“Ladies of the convention, United
Daughters of the Confederacy; Lo
cate the Wirz monument in Americus,
where loving hands will care for it
and brave hearts will defend it from
the hand of desecration.”
H. T. Davenport, Commander.
For Camp Sumter 642, U. C. V.
Capt. Davenport, like many others,
believed that Americus rather than
Andersonville, should be the site of
the monument, but the Daughters
have willed it otherwise.
The purpose of the monument, aside
from perpetuating the memory of
a valiant Confederate soldier, will
refute the vile slanders and calum
nies hurled at him by fanatics in the
North respecting the treatment of
prisoners.
To this end the U. D. C. wished the
monument l o stand at Andersonville,
a silent sentinel, where the thousands
who come from the North to visit the
National Cemetery may read in let
ters of bronze the refutation of their
misrepresentation.
Contracts for the monument was
awarded to Clark’s Monumental
Works, of Americus. It will be erect
ed by the National U. I). C., and will
cost, completed, about $3,000.

SCHOONER'S CREW
EATEN BY SAVAGES
Eorty Members of the Au
thur Sewall,
PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 31.
—(Special)—Forty men, the officers
and crew of the American clipper
ship Arthur Sewall, it is believed
were killed and eaten by Cannibals,
natives of the islands near Terra del
Feugo, after they had left their
sinking vessel. This is the inference
drawn from the disapperance of the
ship and men by shipping men in
this city.
The Sewall, one of the best known
sailing vessels in the American mer
chant marine, left this port seven
months ago bound for Seattle, byway
of stormy Cape Horn, with a cargo
of coal for the use of the navy on the
Pacific coast. Most of the crew
were foreigners.

tjof reached the Maritime Exchange
yesterday, it was believed that the
Sewall, with her master, Captain Gaf
fery, and her crew had gone to the
bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. But
on August 23 the captain of the
Fridtjot reports his men sighted a
derelict near Cane Horn, half way
along the coast of Noir Island to
Cape Pillar. It was the wreck of a
four-masted, square-rigged ship, tal
lying in every detail with the descrip
tion of the Sewall. Only the top
masts were above water, and the
toys were set.
The Fridtjof’s captain cruised about
in the hope of finding some trace of
the crew. Closer inspection of the
wreck convinced him that the vessel
had been wrecked several months be
fore his discovery. The sailors, heav
ily armed, were willing to explore
the interior, but the captain forbade
this.
