TO SELL IHE SALVAGE
HERE ON MONDAY
Sealed Bids for Damaged
Cotton.
The partly burned and damaged cot
ton bales saved from the compress
fire here will be sold to the highest
and best bidder next Monday, 17th,
at the Americus yards of the com
press company, and bidding upon this
valuable lot of cotton promises to
be sharp. In all there are probably
250 or 300 bales in the salvage, and
this will be sold for account of the
insurance companies carrying risks.
The salvage cotton has been put in
merchantable shape, and-under com
petitive bids wil doubtless bring a
fair price, thus reducing the grand
total of losses considerably. It is
understood that buyers from Atlanta,
Savanah, Macon, Columbus, Montgom
ery and even from milling towns in
Texas will come to Americus to sub
mit bids upon this valuable lot of
cotton when sold on the 17th inst.
EDUCATIONAL TRAIN
STARTS ON TRIP
Six Weeks Tour, At Amer
icus March 6.
Yesterday morning the educational
thain of the State College of Agricul
ture started on a six week’s trip
through Georgia. Its itinerary in
cludes 150 stops. Americus is reach
ed on March 6, the train being due
here at 1 p. m. The first stop yester
day was at Commerce. Maysville, Lula,
Cornelia and Bowersville were also
included in the .day's run. Gov. Smith
will accompany the train for a few
days. Commissioner Hudson of the
Agricultural Department, will travel
a part of the way on the train, as
will also school Commissioner Pound.
As heretofore stated in these col
umns, the object of the trip is to
offer to farmers over the state an
opportunity to hear experts lecture
on the best methods of farming.
Among the topics to be discussed will
be seed selection, mixing and apply
ing fertilizers; feeding and handling
of farm live stock; of orchards, gar
dens and truck patches; insects and
fungi attacking cotton and other
farm crops and means of combatting
same; value and character of agricul
tural education; better methods of
handling and utilizing cotton seed and
cotton seed by-products, and the man
agement of farm lands. The speakers
will answer any questions which may
Ije asked by his audience.
The special train will be composed
of a long baggage car for exhibit
purposes and two passenger coaches
for lecture rooms. As the lecturer
talks he will illustrate his points by
examples from actual growth. Sev
eral hundred thousand copies of ex
tracts from the speeches will be
distributed among the “students.”
This will be a great help, as the
farmers will not have to trust entire
ly to memory for the improvements
suggested by the lecturers.
ENTERTAINED
LADIES’ GLIB
Mrs. Lee Allen Starts Se
ries Delightfully.
One of the most delightful affairs
of the past week was given on Fri
day afternoon by Mrs. Leg Allen at
her home on College street. It was
the initial entertainment of the La
dies Social Club, and a large number
of guests were received by Mrs. Al
len, who was attired in an artistic
gown of cream voile and lace.
The parlors and halls of this hos
pitable home were brilliantly lighted
and palms, ferns and daffodils —those
sweet harbingers of Spring—were ev
ery where used in graceful profusion.
After an interesting geographical
game a delicious salad course was
served.
Those who enjoyed Mrs. Allen’s
charming hospitality were: Mesdames
W. D. Bailey, R. L. Bivins, D. M. Bo

LARGE VOTE 15 GIVEN
IN FAVOR OF TAX
Sumter school district held an elec
tion Monday on the question of local
taxation for school purposes, and the
result was very largely in favor of
the measure, the Vote standing 4 to 1
in favor of the local taxation and ad
ditional school facilities. Under the
law each district, by vote, can levy
an additional tax for school purposes,
and the Sumter district thus takes this
progressive step for additional edu
cational advantages and will, no doubt
be followed by other districts in the
county.

Vacant Lots .for Building
Being Sold.
ltTiile the sale of residence proper
ty here in Americus is of daily oc
currence the demand for vacant lots,
upon which new. dwellings will go
up immediately, is just as great. Num
erous sales of desirable vacant pro
perties are renprted, while several of
the realty dealers here have other
orders filed for such investments.
Quite recently the sale of a desirable
tract 80 by 200 feet, corner Furlow
and Hancock streets, to Mr. S. L.
Sills for $1250 was reported, and upon
this lot he will erect two pretty dwell
ings at once. Messrs. Allen & Crock
ett, realty agents, who
sold the Sills lot, sold another desir
able vacant corner almost oposite to
Mr. L. A. Morgan, who will build a
residence there.
GOING TO ATTEND THE

Calvary Church of Americus, will

COMIC OPERA THAT
REALLY WAS
“Mayor of Tokio” Pleased
Large Audience.
On rare occasions Americus theater
goers have the pleasure of witness
ing a really first class opera. Last
night was one of them. Though the
clouds wept copiously most of the j
day, the large crowd which found
shelter in Glover’s Opera House last 1
night, found the evening a modley of
laughter and song.
“The Mayor of Tokio,” needs no
recommendation, having won almost
unstinted praise in the l&rge cities.
The plot is a little more tangible than
the ordinary musical comedy, thus
giving continuity to the various dev
elopments.
John L. Kearney, as Marcus Orlando
Kidder, the head of a stranded opera
company, was the piece de resistance.
His best song was "Foolishness,” and
with his foolish sideplay, it might
be called the feature of the musical
selections. It was funny enough to
keep the audience i na laughing mood
for the rest of the evening. “Cheer
up Everybody,” also proved a favor
ite. “I Like You.” gave an opportunity
to work in more horse play. “ A
Comic Capsule” was another applause
getter. The songs and his manner
of rendering them were delightfully
humorous.
As Mayor of Tokio, Will H. White
ma<ie good. Miss Mavehew as the
American heiress and Miss Tilson as
the daughter of the mayor, did their
parts well.
The chorus girls, whether as Maids
of Honor, Dancing Girls, Yatching
Girls or Geisha Girls made a hit with
the audienec. Their chorus singing
was above the average, the various
songs being rendered with enthu
siasm.
MR. SPEER WILL OFFER
AGAIN FOR OFFICE
As Receiver Tax Returns
in Sumter.
Mr. W. R. Speer, Sumter’s efficient
and capable receiver of tax returns
and now filling his first term in that
office, is a candidate for re-election,
and that he will be given a cordial
support goes without saying. Mr.
Speer is an old Confederate veteran,
mid no braver soldier followed the
flag of the South. While too infirm to
do manual labor he is well qualified
for a discharge of the duties of the
office he seeks, and to which he was
elected by such flattering vote. For
this he thanks his friends, and asks
them to rally to his support in the
primary in April.

MEMORIAL DAY WILL BE
OBSERVED ON SUNDAY
Many Cities to Adhere to
That Date.
While in Americus the subject of
Memorial Day exercises may not have
been entirely disposed of by the Mem
orial Society and U. D. C. respecting
the exact date of observance, other
cities have already determined upon
April 26th, the day always thus hon
ored, despite the fact that it falls
upon Sunday this year. This point
will be disposed of very soon, as
will the complete arrangement of
Memorial Day program. Quite a num
ber of veterans, believe that Memorial
Day can be as appropriately observed
on Sunday as any other day, and that
in fact, Sunday is really the best day
for the exercises commemorating the
death of those men who gave up their
lives for the Confederate gray.
HAND OF SYMPATHY IS
GIVEN BY WAYCROSS
In Burning of the Compress
Here.
Americus will witness this week the
beginning of work in the erection of
a new, more modern and larger com
press than that destroyed by fire
a . few days ago, and within four
months or before the next cotton crop
is ready, the new compress will be
likewise.
Entirely new and modern machin
ery will be installed, and the new
press will l'ar excel the old plant
recently destroyed.
Commenting upon the fire the
Waycross Journal has the following:
Americus has gone through with
an experience similar to that which
befell our city in October. On Sun
day night the Atlantic Compress Com
pany’s plant was by fire,
the loss reaching something like
$125,000.
Waycross knows, better than any
other town in the state, probably, how
to sympathize with Americus in her
misfortune.
Here in Waycross we know the
sickening anxiety entailed by such a
loss and therefore understand the sit
uation hi our sister city. But the
parallel® between the two cities goes
further.
It is announced that in Americus, as
was the case in our own city, the
rebuilding of the plant will be com
menced as soon as the fires die down
at the ruins of the former compress.
Waycross congratulates Americus
on her pluck and determination and
can make no better wish than that
the work of rebuilding may bring out
the energy, good-will and harmony
of the business men of that city as
was the case with Waycross in her
hour of need and distress.
Our work of rebuilding has proved
in the highest degree successful and
we wish the same good fortune for
our neighbor.
OUR SAUSAGE IS STILL
A MAITER OF MYSTERY
No Report by Col. Hudson
As Yet.
“The Mystery of the Sausage, or who
found the Collar” is a subject for
revelation at the hands of Commis
sioner Tom Hudson of the Agricul
tural Department, who just at pres
ent is turning the Xrays of his office
upon this wonderful compound. Just
what turned the attention of the vigi
lant commissioner to Americus sau
sage is as much a mystery as the sau
sage itself. A day or two ago the lo
cal representative of the Pure Food
department was ordered forthwith to
send a shipment of sausage, such as
is compounded here, to the agricul
tural department. The message did
not state whether Com. Hudson pro
posed giving a supper to his brother
statehouse officials wherein the sau
sage would be the piece de resistance,
or whether it was to be dissected and
its fundamental principles laid bare
to the world. Com. Hudson knows
there’s nothing better than country
sausage, hence the supper theory is
advanced rather than an exploring
expedition within the casing of that,
great Georgia compound. But the
sausage has been sent to his de
partment, and the verdict is eagerly
awaited here.
COMMENTS ON THE
WIRZ MONUMENT
(Savanah Press)
The Press is glad to know that the
proposed inscription for the Wirz
merely a suggestion from the
merely a suggestion from thorn the
sub-committee, and not a decision to
have this exact epitaph on the monu
ment.
The Press has opposed the adop
tion of anything bitter at this time,
because we did not wish to follow the
example of some of the Northern
states which have written unseemly
and unfortunate sentences upon the
Andersonville monuments.
The Augusta Herald does not take
the view of the Savannah Press and
endorses the inscription already re
ported from the Savannah Commit
tee. The Herald says:
The Daughters of the Confeder
acy have chosen the right inscrip
tion. When the inscription on those
other monuments at Anderson
ville, while are based on the false
charge to which Major Wirz was
made the vicarious vietim, are
changed, then will it be proper to
adopt the suggestion of The Press.
So long as these remain, truth
should stand to refute error on the
monument of a gallant soldier and

a manly man, who was unjustly
executed, and whose memory is
being maligned.
The Atlanta Constitution after first
explaining that the proposed epitaph
has not been finally passed upon,
adds:
Yet, when an inscription is to
he chosen for the Wirz monument,-
we believe that one can be select
ed that will be more pacific and
less provocative than that sug
gested, and at the same time do
full justice to the fidelity and
achievements of the man whose
memory is to be honored.
On the same line the Augusta
Chronicle has this to say:
We heartily applaud the Wirz
monument and believe in the
right the Daughters of the Confed
eracy have to show that the
South believes him a martyr and
deserving of the high honors we
pay to our revered dead, and we
do not doubt the truth of the in
scription that has aroused so
much antagonism in the North,
but we doubt the expediency of
having his monument the
location for a display of rancor,
however called for it be. The
time is unpropitious for it and
the place selected improper. We
say this with the kindliest feel
ings in the world for the object
and are pleased to note, from the
published opinions in other promi
nent Southern newspapers, that
our view is widespread.
We have no doubt that when the
final inscription is decided upon the
Wirz monument will contain words
which will preserve the truth of his
tory and at the same time not revive
the acerbity of the late war.
