AMERICUS TIMES- REOOR HER
FARM JUMPED 250 PER
GEN I IN 12 YEARS
Yielded Owner Handsome
Revenue Every Year.
A jump in value of 250 per cent in
twelve years, or twenty per cent a
year, much the increase coming in'
the last two or three years because it
is on a good road of up-to-date con
struction, that is what is shown by a
farm sale made by Mr. W. L. English
yesterday.
The farm in question is located over
in Terrell county, near Bronwood.
There are 202 acres in the tract and
Mr. English sold it yesterday to Mr.
E. C. Webb, for $35 an acre, or $7,070.
Twelve years ago Mr. English
bought the place for $2,000. Since
then he has had it continuously rented
at twelve bales of cotton a year, so
that he has drawn a handsome revenue
from the purchase. And now, as stat
ed, he has disposed of it at the further
tremendous increment of 250 per
cent.
It is unnecessary to state that Mr.
English is a warm advocate of good
roads. He knows from personal ex
perience, both as a land owner, and as
a real estate agent, what it means to
have a good road running by a farm.
The increase in value, he says, is im
mediate, great and constantly increas
ing.
SAYS FEY. DAVENPORT
TOOK THE BIGHT VIEW
His Speech. Though, Lost Him the
Division rommandership.
(Savannah Press.)
General Davenport of Americus
probably lost his election as division
commander on account of one speech
he made during the proceedings, and
yet a good many people thought, and
still think, that he was right. General
Davenport was of the opinion that if
the state didn’t have the money then
the Confederate Veterans ought not to
ask for a service pension, holding that
the fighting in the war was simply in
line of duty. Judge John Maddox of
Rome thought differently. He said the
people of the state had passed the am
endment to the constitution, and the
,:agfetlature should obey their wishes.

HIGH PRICE OF COTTON
LIKELY TO CONTINUE
Belief in Fifteen Cents
Still Holds.
While the big majority of Americus’
cotton men are “bullish” on the mar
ket there are others who anticipate
an October decline, due to expected
heavy receipts at ports and the
threat made by many mill owners
to close down their plants because of
the prevailing high prices of cotton.
The mill people assert that they
cannot pay 12 1-2 or 13 cents for cot
ton to manufacture, when there is no
increase in the sale price of cotton
goods in proportion.
A bet to the effect that cotton
would drop one cent a pound within
a month was made yesterday between
a "bull” and a “bear” here.
The prevailing belief here is that
cotton will go as high as 15 cents a
pound before the end of the season.
The highest price the staple is ex
pected to bring is looked for during
the next month or two.
Georgia is fortunate in having a
fine cotton crop, although in some
states the crop has been off in some
respects. Georgia is in the lead and
the comparison of what farmers are
getting for their crop with last year's
figures will give some idea of the rea
son.
The high price of cotton caused am
advance in all products. In two weeks
the advance has been 20 per cent,
and it will be more later on. There
is free buying of cotton ogods in antic
ipation of the increase. Without mak
ing an advance over old prices the
mills could not keep going.
In other goods there is an increase,
owing to the demand. This is true in
wool materials.
Hoarseness in a child subject to
croup is a sure indication of the ap

■ YE STAFFE OF LIFE
Bread and Meat Go High
With Cotton.
While Americus people felicitate in
the general upheaval of cotton prices,
they might observe the fact that gro
ceries and human provender generally
have been given a grand hoist as well.
A dollar buys less now than it did a
month ago, while the appetites of the
unfed are just as fierce.
Whether or not “life is worth the
living the experiment is just as ex
pensive. If you doubt it, try it.
Lard jumped last w r eek from 15
cents to 17 cents. The butter and
cheese prices remain the same.
Eggsa re selling at 30 cents a dozen.
The place to be thankful in this in
stance is because the price is no high
er. But the ham that many like with
eggs has advanced. During last week
the best mild cured ham jumped from
17 cents to 20 cents.
Rice is costing the retailers more
because of the storm along the Gulf
coast. No advance- in the price that
consumers pay is anticipated just at
present.
The only line on holiday prices ob
tainable is that on oranges. The in
dications of an immense crop in Flor
ida makes cheaper oranges a certainty
for certain periods of the season. Ba
nanas retail at 20 cents a dozen, and
no change is expected.
Fall vegetables are coming in mar
ket since the recent rains, and these
help out considerably. But in meats,
beef, pork and like substantials, to
say nothing of the advance in flour
prices, there is little to cheer the
buyer. Chickens are still too high
even to make soup of the feathers.
The man on the farm is certainly
ahead of the man in town, who buys
everything he consumes.
The pleasant purgative effect expe
rienced by all who use Chamberlain’s
Stomach and Liver Tablets and the
healthy condition of the body and
mind which they create, makes one
feel joyful. Sold by all dealers.

TWO PARCELS OF LAND
SELL FOR ROUND SUM
Thirty-Six Dollars Acre
Was Paid.
Thirty-six dollars per acre for or
dinary farm land ten miles from
Americus and which, a few years ago,
might have been bought for one
fourth the price, was paid yesterday
in front of the court house for a part
of the old Jim Parker farm.
One hundred acres was thus sold at
executor’s sale at $36 to C. N. Bailey,
while 65 acres went to Pony Carey at
the flat price of $1,200.
Good roads and high-priced cotton
thus boosted values.
It was public sales day, and farmers
hungry for land crowded the front of
the temple. They had the money—l 3
cents cotton money—and were anx
ious to sw-ap their dollars for just a
little more dirt.
The land thus sold at $36 per acre
w r as returned for taxes a few months
ago at $S per acre.
Another record sale made was that
of 200 acres In the Sixteenth district,
twelve miles south of Americus—but
on one of Sumter’s good roads. It
was a part of the Barwick lands, and
was bid in by J. L. Chambliss for
Green Perry at $6,075.
Thirty dollars per acre was thus
paid for this 200-acre tract. Thirteen
cents cotton and good roads combin
ed are working wonders in land val
ues.
JUMPED OFF MOVING TRAIN';
FINED IN POLICE COURT.
Damper Put on Young Men YVho
Would Be Gallant.
It cost two Americus young men
$5, or $2.50 each, to assist two ladies
aboard a Central railway train here
and getting off again after the train
was in motion. The young men as
sisting the ladies had each carried
a suit case into the coach, but prob
ably lingered too long in bidding
adieu to the ladies, as the train had
started to move away when they hur
riedly alighted. A vigilant cop saw
them, and under the city ordinance
prohibiting anyone boarding or jump
ing from moving trains here they
were fined $2.50 each in police court.
It is in time of sudden mishap or ac
cident that Chamberlain’s Liniment
can be relied upon to take the place
of the family doctor, who cannot el
ways be found at the moment. Then
it Is that Chamberlain’s L'nlment is
never found wasting. In cases of
spraiQS, cnta, wounds and bruises
Chamberlain’s Liniment takes out the
soreness and drives away the pain.

HANSON DENIES STORY
OF RESIGNATION.
Rumor Placed W. A. Winhurn at Head
of Centra 1.
Atlanta, Oct. s.—Persistent rumors
that Maj. J. F. Hanson, president of
the Central of Georgia Railay, had'
tendered his resignation to the direc
tors of that road, effective Nov. 1,
brought forth an emphatic denial
from the major. It was said that
official announcement of Maj. Han
son’s resignation would be made on
Wednesday of this week and that he
would be succeeded as head of the
road by Vice-President William A.
Winburn of Savannah.
“There is not a word of trutli in the
rumor," said Maj. Hanson, "and I
would be glad to have you say that
the thought of resigning had not en
tered my head.”
Maj. Hanson has been connected
with the Central of Georgia Railway
for twenty-odd years, was chairman
of the board of directors for several
years and since 1903 has served as
president of the road. Recently he
was made defendant in a suit for di
vorce filed by his wife, Mrs. Cora Lee
Hanson, in which a prominent society
woman of New r York city is named.
