PEACHES IN PLENTY IS
PROSPECT IN SUMTER
Orchards in the Americns
Territory.
Four hundred thousand bearing
peachtrees in the orchards within a 1
three mile radius of Americus, and !
among the best in the magnificent ’
peach belt of south Georgia, promise ;
excellent results this year. Every tree,
is in the pink of condition and gives
promise of hearing a fine crop.
Such are the gratifying reports si>. /
en the Times-Recorder by ,xv
men, several of whom w^T’•
‘cus yesterday. ‘ i
Captain C. W. Raymond, proprietor
of the Raymond orchard here, states
that his trees are in the pink of con
dition and the outlook altogether
promising. There are one hundred
thousand trees in his orchard.
The same gratifying reports are
made concerning the Ware-Progress
orchard of one hundred thousand
trees, adjoining the Raymond orchard
and in full trim.
These two orchards are among the
handsomest in Georgia and are reach
ed by the Americus-Smithville road,
the finest highway in South Georgia,
while the Central Railway passes
through both orchards, thus facili
tating shipping arrangements during
the busy fruit season.
The Wardell orchard of 25,000 trees
as well as the Hansford orchard near)
it are in excellent trim, each promis
ing a good peach crop.
The Bagley-Ray orchard of two hun
dred thousand fine bearing trees and
within two miles of the city limits is
being put in trim for the anticipated
good crop. Supt. Scott states that the
outlook for an abundant yield of
peaches this season was never better
in February.
A large force is employed there
keeping the trees in order.
The Bagley-Ray orchard shipped
about fifty cars of peaches last year,
despite the short crop, besides sup
plying a large quantity of fruit to
the canning factory here.
This season the company will de
vote all energy and attention to the
peach orchard, cutting out canteloupes
and watermelons, of which large crops
were grown last season. Attention to
200,000 peach trees will keep the en
tire forces busy, while net results may
aso be increased.
Several thousand trees have been
killed here recently by the San Jose
scale, the destructive insect that plays
upon them, hut orchard men are fight
ing it successfully.

j which automobilists are driving their
I machines around the city, in defiance

.. that occurred on Jackson street when
\ an auto containing four met* went
i plunging along at the rate of fully
forty n iles an hour, utterly regardless
of a little child that was crossing the
thoroughfare. He insisted that if some
thing was not done to check it some
child or adult would lose its life.
“If a police officer were to spend a
while trying to catch violators of this
law on Jackson street he would soon
arrest a half dozen” said the aider
man. “If he doesn’t make a number
of cases I will pay the city for the
time he has lost.”
The alderman insisted that condi
tions were getting worse and that the
speed limit was a dead letter. He
insisted that it was the duty of the
police to pay especial attention to this
class of offenders and make cases
against them regardless as to who
they were. Unless this is done a life
j will he lost and then the hue and
cry would go up that would put a
stop to-it, hut that would not bring
back the dead.
Nothing was done further in the
matter.

RAY NAMED FOR VACANCY

ben presented Governor Brown by
many friends here, who urge his ap

Brown will doubtless make the ap
pointment today.
ings that represent a much greater
outlay of money. For a city of 15-
000 peojjle the building is regarded
as a model, and it is not unlikely
that it will attract considerable atten
tion from cities that may he said to
be relatively in the same class as
Americus.
COUNCIL DID NOTHING
WITH BAGGAGE LAW.
City Attorney Will Report
as to Rights.
Council did nothing last night with
the ordinance to regulate the conduct
of the baggage express business of the
city.
The ordinance came up on its sec
ond reading and the blanks in it were
filled in, hut after .that it was referred
to the City Attorney for a report as
to tht* city’s right to regulate the busi
ness in the manner proposed.
The ordinance in question provides
that any one carying on a baggage ex
press business in Americus shall
maintain an office in the business sec
tion, with a competent man in charge,
open al lday and night, with a tele
phone, and receive and deliver bag
gage at all hours promptly. Failure
to do this means a fine of $2 to $lO or
5 to 10 days on the streets.
Alderman Bolton thought that it
savored of class legislation and ex
pressed the belief that the city could
not regulate the business in such a
way.
Alderman Allen said that at first
blush he had felt the same way, hut
on investigation he had reached the
conclusion that the city had a right
to protect the regular baggage express
business and the interests of the pub
lic in this way. A license of S2OO ! s
required and a bond is taken for the
protection of the public entrusting
business to such a concern. He be
lieved thatthe interests of the city
would be promoted by insisting,
through such an ordinance, on any
one engaging in the business giving a
proper service day and night.
Mayor Felder did not believe such
an ordinance could be enforced. The
state gave the old veteran a license
to carry on a business and he did not
think the city could adopt regulations
that would destrict hinL i nthe exer
cise of that right. •
Mr. Loving was permitted to make
a statement. Mr. Loving stated that
there was already an ordinance re
quiring concerns licensed by the city
to call for and deliver promptly any
'baggage at such prices as were set
forth, and that a bond was required
by the city to protect the customer
from loss of or damage tothe baggage.
If the city favored good service, and
desired to insure good service to its
own citizens and to the traveling pub
lic visiting Americus, it should go fur
ther and insist that all engaged in the
business give such a satisfactory serv
ice. If this were not to be done, but
some were allowed to carry on a cut
throat business, simply doing business*
in the day time and avoiding it at
nights, then he insisted the city
should strike out the other ordi
nances. It was either a case of the
city insisting on good service from all
alike or permitting all to run business
as they saw fit, which would not he
satisfactory i nthe end to the public.
Mr. Loving insisted that the sole idea
was to ensure good service by a pro
tective measure. Those who would
not live up to it would not give good
service, those who did would.
