AMERICUS TIMES-RECOR! >ER 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 rum, Will Carter, Wellborne Clarke,, R. E. Cato, O. P. Gilbert, C. C. Haw kins, M. S. Holliday, V. A. Hunting ton, Mrs. Lee, R. L. Manyard, A. G. Miller, George Bacot, Jas.

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.

AMERICUS. GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY I M 908. \ REALTY OF EVERY KIND IS STILL IN DEMAND 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 MEETING Os DIOCESE Americus Will be Repre sented There. Calvary Church of Americus, will be represented today in the meeting of the Diocese of Georgia, which assembles at Augusta for the pur pose of electing a bishop. The session will be attended by representatives of all Episcopal churches in southern Georgia,, and the result of the sel ection of a bishop to preside over this diocese will be attended with much interest. Rev. James B. Lawrence, rector of Calvary church, left yester day for Augusta, to attend the ses sion as ministerial representative, while Messrs. John A. Cobb, G. M. Eldridge and Thomas Harrold are the parish delegates appointed by the church to attend the meeting. TO BUILD TWO-STORY RESIDENCE ON LEE For Mr. C. J. Shehan by Contractor Hall. Contractor G. C. Hall has just clos ed a contract with Mr. E. J. Shehan for the building of a handsome two story residence on Lee street. The materials are being placed on the ground and work will begin at once. ; It is expected that the house will be ready for occupancy within the next sixty days. It will be occupied by Mr. Shehan as a residence. The house being built for Mr. A. C. Crockett on Brooklyn Heights by Mr. Hall will be ready for occupancy next week. 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. ~ y W V 1 M you cannot be handsome, be as hand ¥ | * ¥ ¥ J * some as you can.

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 ~iilT ' ' jt' *L y.

DODSON PHARMACY The IfexaK Store 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.
