Americus Lost Little Fruit For Lack of Cars. Number Came Sunday and the Situation Was Relieved, Immense relief was afforded in the Americus n/each orchards Sunday morning when the fruit shippers look ed out and beheld in their freight yards all the refrigerator cars needed for immediate purposes. The cars came Saturday nigi.ii and relieved the sit uation here. Os course, much loss resulted from not being able to get the cars Satur day, a 3 a great deal of fruit packet for shipping Saturday night was ren dered useless. While little actual work w\as done in the packing houses here Sunday, it. was a case of “the oxe in the ditch, ’ and could the laborers have been em ployed Sunday for love or money the packing houses would have been akin to hives of industry. At Port Valley the situation was likewise relieved Sunday by the plac ing of cars, and while the loss the’’e was enormous it really was less than anticipated. The situation there and at Marshallville on Saturday was a great deal worse than in Americus. Here, all of the orchards, except the Bagley-Ray Co., have finished ship ping and quit work. Thus far a total of 221 carloads have been shipped from Americus. The Ware-Progress Co. has shipped C7 oars, the Raymond Co., 50 cars, the Carolina Realty Co., 20 cars, L. M. Hansford 4 cars and the Bagley-Ray Co., up to yesterday at noon, had shop ped 70 carloads. Titjs gives a total of 221 carloads to this date. The Bagley-Ray Co. is yet in the! very midst of the shipping season, and will ship many additional cars of the finest Elbertas this week and early next week. Prices continue good, net ling the growers about $1 per crate over all expenses. Americus growers! are highly pleased. Some of the prettiest fruit grown in many years lias been gathered from \ he Americus orchards, and little dis- 1 ficulty has been experienced in mar-j keting. CLOTHING TO ORDER. Mr. ('.

(HAS. L. ANSLEY.. UPON COTTON RESTS INFLUENCE OF NATION Maintains Nation’s Credit in World Commerce. •Washington, D. C., July IS.—From official sources running back to IS7O, the *)So(utliern Commercial Congress has co-related statistics that show tlie dependence of the nation upon cotton in maintaining the credit of the Unit ed States in world commerce. The total value of all exports from 171)0 to June 30, 1909, has been $47,- 991,224,405. The total balance in fa for of the United States during this period has been $6,436,114,566. The total value of raw cotton exported dur ing thie same time has be<m $13,598,- 353,086. These figures are for raw cot ton alone and at low valuation. They leave out of consideartion manufac tured cotton and cotton seed products. Tlie purpose of the compilation is to lift eolton subjects, enemies, and cul tural methods out of consideration as solely Southern interests and give to them their rightful place as national, for without cotton the nation would ap pear a debtor, instead of a creditor, •on th<3 world’s balance sheets to the extent of $7,1)00,000,000.

JULY 19, 1910 BIG ENGINE ON STREET OBJECT Os INTEREST City Streets Are Worked Better, Now. The first demon the city’s big motor engine for street work here was given yesterday, and the celerity with which the red dirt was turned co the sun, the knolls and hills in the streets cut down and the gullies fill ed up, evidenced it a pearl without price. The engine is one of great power, and not only pulls the gang scraper used in chaping up the streets, hue can be utilized for other purposes. t’.Jje street department has used six mules for pulling.the scraper, and these can be put at other work now, as the motor will supply all the pulling power required, and even more. This new equipment cost the city $3,000, and demonstrations made in other cities proves its efficiency and usefrPness in street work. The first demonstration was made yesterday out , on I lan old avenue, where the road is rough and the grass unusually rank. A party of Turner county citizens , will come to Americus today to see the operation of the motor, as similar , equipment will be purchased by that county for road work, if they are pleased therewith.

T.,oin.iovilie, Ga,, July IS.—Tham aav.ilo 0, Americus 1. For eleven innings did the locals anu the Americus lads battle for su premacy in the presence of nearly tl. i( e thousand enthusiastic fans lucre 'afternoon and the vicitors took the hardest earned victory of the sea son. Perryman was on the slab for the local outfit, and Wilson did the sending for Americus, and both delivered th'e gods in a nea.; package. Thirteen of the visitors were fanned by the mighty Perryman, while seventeen of the locals failed to connect with Wil son’s benders. Thomasville garner'd five hits off his delivery, however, and “Perry” was touched up for seven safeties. The game developed the nearly equal strength of the two teams, and but for the adeptness of the Americus bunch as “mud-larks,” the result might have been different. Th'e dia mond was muddy and slippery, and this proved a decided disadvantage to the locals. Fast playing marked the opening innings of the game, and not until the eleventh did either side register a tally, when Americus secured the winning run on two bunched doubles by Donaldson and Wilson. The locals tried hard to overcome this lead in their half and would have succeeded but for the fast work ot McGregor and Donaldson, wh'o gath ered in a long drive out in deep left.

RIDDING YOUNG GIRL IU ABSOLUTELY IRRELIGIOUS So Says l>r. G. Stanley Hall in Recent Address. Greeley, Col., July 18.—-Girls of 16 are absolutely irreligious, said Dr. Stanley Hall, president and professor of psychology at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., lecturing at the summer school here, yesterday. Hence it is, he continued, they are devoted to rats, puffs, psyche knots, fudge, giggles and other ephemeral things. “.The budding girl is as baffling a problem as the soul of a woman,” said Dr. Hall, “and the world now knows that instead of no soul at all, woman lias one, two, three or even tour more than man. "'The young girl is absolutely irre ligious in her na'.ure. She is myopic, seeing the immediate present, where as a boy looks into the future. Her life is all emotion, and for that reason a certain religious fervor is likely to appeal to her. She should be protect ed from professional religionists,” And many a coming man neglects to' arrive. NUMBER 167. GOME TO AMERICUS TO INSPECT THE FIELD. ' Carolina Firm May Locate Office Here.
