WAGON LOAD OF MELONS
BRING GLOBULES OF JOY.
Tempting Fruit Still a Luxury in
Amerkns.
Think of watermelons, the delicious,
deliriously delightful bomhs of glad
summer, available to the hungry here
on October Ist. This was the pleasing
situation here yesterday when a whole
wagon load of the joy promoters were
put on sale at Buchanan’s. And the
sale was equal in impetuous uncurb
ed strenuosity to an embroidery or
remnant sale. From Brooklyn Heights
to Leeton level the unfed flocked to
the melon feast, and the pyramid of
' juicy cubes was quickly decimated.
I The spectacle of a citizen wrapped in
j winter overcoat, diving into the juicy
depths of a ripe summer watermelon,
only demonstrated the possibilities of
this Garden of Eden from a fruit
standpoint
Maybe Teddy will claim the North

FIGHTING FOR REFORM
THROUGH PARTY UNITY.
Reformers Work Difercntly in East
From the Westerners.
Albany, Sept. 30.—Governor Hughes
of New York and Governor Fort of
New Jersey are fighting along similar
■ lines in their effort for political re
form, particularly in relation to pri
maries. The principle of direct pri
maries for which they stand is in
marked contrast with that which has
characterized the Western movement
In the West parties have been destroy
ed and political anarchy has resulted,
in which individualism has taken the
place of party organization, and in
which bosses maintain a supremacy
as menacing to popular rights as that
of machine bosses, by reason of finan
cial resources, by virtue of personal
magnetism, or by a cleverness in po
litical demagoguery which sways pub
lic opinion. Governor Hughes works
along different lines. He believes in
organized effort. He believes in party
unity, in party solidarity of the right
sort. He applies to politics the truth
that in union there is strength and
believes that only in well ordered
carefully formulated and defined
party policy can sound public senti
ment achieve its purpose and true de
mocracy find its best expression in
representative government.
ALL EUROPE IS NOW
MAD OVER AIRSHIPS.
New York, Sept. 30.—“A1l Europe is
airship mad. Every automobile fac
tory in France has added an aero
plane department to its equipment
and is building either complete ma
chines or engines for aerial propul
sion. It's amazing.”
Jeferson De Mont Thompson, who
went to Rheims to represent the Aero
Club of America during the recent
aviation week, thus summarized the
foreign aerial situation when he ar
rived from Europe.
I have this day engaged the services
of Mr. Duncan, of the plumbing firm

will still continue to keep up the re

Managers of Americus hashworks
are alarmed over the advance in the
price of prunes, while the poor board
er rejoiced therein.
October finds Americus merchants
in the midst of the finest fall trade
in years as the result of 'good crops
and 13 cents cotton.
“In my house I am king,” thunders
an after-dinner speaker. Whether he
was a bachelor or a widower the ar*
tide did not state.
An Americus man has refused a
cash offer of $55,000 for his plantation.
Just now the farmer is the gent with
the fat roll.
October, the ideal month of Indian
summer, is ushered in today, but
there is no rose without a thorn, for
the bill collector comes, too.
The beautiful oak in front of the
new postoffice Is to be cut down in
order that visitors in the city may lo
cate the building.
Americus is ahead by 4,000 bales of
any of the other interior cotton mar
kets in Georgia. And she is ahead in
other respects, too.
Americus winds up another mouth
without a fire. Thus far the fire
losses in Americus since January l
will not amount to S3OO.
The crowded condition of the opera
house at the Jefferson engagement
again emphasizes the crying need of
a better theatre here.
Some Americus dollars are wagered
on the result of the hot race for mayor
of Macon, between Miller and Moore
in tomorrow’s election.
The city assessors have completed
their work for the current year, and
through their efforts increased prop

It has been a slaughter of the black
hosts at the court house this week,
and the ambulance is busy hauling

COTTON PICKER WOULD
GREATLY INCREASE CROP.
lint Price’s Announcement Doesn’t
Insure » Succesful Picker.
New Orleans, Sept. 30.—T0 the Na
tional Association of Cotton Manufac
turers, Theodore H. Price announces
the invention of a cotton picker. If
it is, as alleged, thoroughly practical?
It is an invention of Incalculable
value.
In 51 years covered by the seasons
of 1808-59 the American cotton crop
increased 2,748 per cent. In the last
285 per cent. The increase In pro- .
28.5 per cent. The increase In pro
duction with sTave labor was nearly
ten times as great as the increase with
free labor. The emancipated negro
does not work well In'the dbtton field.
Decrease in the efficiency of his labor
has been so marked that importation
of Southern European laborers to re
place him is being tried. The mechan
ical picker seems likely to solve a
bothersome labor problem. If it meets
requirements, we may expect tremen
dous expansion in American cotton
production. The soil Is ready, but
labor has been lacking.
