Buying Clothes
CHEAP!
Any time you buy a Hart Schaff

your clothes money economically,
but when you get a chance to buy
these famous clothes at less than
the regular price, you ought to lay
in a stock of them.
This is the time when we are get
ting ready for fall business; it’s the
time when you are ready for sum
mer clothes; we want to clean off
out shelves, and its your chance.
The prices we are making on
summer suits would almost make
you think the weather was cold;
you know it isn’t, and we know
these clothes are using room and
money that we need.
Come in while the stock is well
assorted; you’ll be amazed at the
values offered you.

AMERICUS TIMES -RECORDER
FINE REPORT OF CHIEF
IS MADE TO COUNCIL
Covering the Fiscal Year
Just Ended.
Except One Large Fire
Beyond Control Loss
is Light Past Year.
But for the conflagration in No
vember last, which swept away the
plant of the Americns Construction
Co., entailing a loss of probably $50,-
000 or SOO,OOO, tbe total fire losses in
Americas for the fiscal year ending
July Ist would have been at the min
imum figure.
Chief McArthur has just filed with
the city council his annual report for
the twelve months ending July Ist,
and it. is a good one, as usual.
Fire losses were held down to the
minimum, except in the conflagration
mentioned, a fire which no human
lmwer could have averted.
In this, the eighteenth annual re
port of the Americus fire department,
Chief McArthur reports a total of
eighty-five fire alarms for the year.
Os this number 25 were for burning
grass, which resulted in no loss what
ever.
Defective stove flues fired six kitch
ns; exploding gas stoves, six; care
lessness with lamps, four, while ash
pits caused five fires.
The other alarms were the result of
trivial causes and generally amounted
to nothing.
The value of the property thus en
dangered by fire was $398,515, while
the insurance thereupon amounted to
$175,000. The actual fire losses were
$61,922, of which amount probably
$50,000 was upon the burned lumber
yards and mill.
This lire occurred late at night and
the blaze, fanned by high winds, had
enveloped the plant long before the
alarm was sounded.
The efficiency of the department was
demonstrated in confining the flames
there.
The total cost of maintaining the de
partment for the fiscal year was $6,-
748. of which amount $4,907.50 was
the salary account for the chief and
five men. The cost of feeding four
horses for the year was $555, while
the cost of a new horse was $360.
A detailed statement of every item
of expenditure was attached to the re
port, which is full, complete and sat
isfactory.

SHIPPING ISiGOING ON
STILL AT ORCHARDS
Movement May Continue in
Next Week.
At the Bagley-Ray Orchard Co.’s
packing house the shipping season
still continues, though not to the ex
tent of a week ago. Many cars of
fine Elbertas are still to be handled
there and the total shipments from
Americus may yet reach 250 cars, or
more than at first expected.
The peach movement will not be
finished before the end of next week,
it is said by railroad men.
It was calculated that Thursday
would finish the rush period, but nov,
it develops that the Fort Valley sec
tion will be a busy place until the
end of the n-xt week at least*
The movement* i? well on n.rvv, bu:

there will oa hundreds of cars uis

crops will lie ihe largest in the Thom

From the Americus territory a dozen
carloads of cantaloupes and probably
one hundred cars watermelons have
been shipped away already and ex
cellent prices obtained therefor.
IRRIGATION SAVES (ROUS
IN NORTHWESTERN DAKOTA
Washington, D. C., July 22. —Farm-
ers in Western North Dakota began
to realize during the latter part of last
month the benefits which hay could
receive from the irrigation projects
in their territory. Owing to the higu
temperature and scorching winds
which swept over the state late in June
and early in this mouth, unripened
crops were practically burned up, so
that many will not lie worth harvest
ing, and the best yield that can be
expected on dry land will not be with
in 50 per cent, of normal, according to
the Reclamation Service.
But the dry weather caused the Re
clamation Service to be besieged witn
requests for water. In spite of the
ieavy demand the service by more
than doubling the force of men and by
working the power and pumping ma
chinery at full capacity, with a limit
ed amount of coal, furnished good head
of water in practically all cases where
water was asked for, so that irrigat
ed crops are reported now to be in
excellent condition.

7 Negroes Shot Down—
-5 Dean in Tracks and
2 Fatally Wounded.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Elliott, Miss., July 22.—Five negroes
were killed and two others mortally
wounded here when the seven, taking
with! Deputy Sheriff Sid Cauley,
whr> was endeavoring to take them
into custody on a minor charge, ad
vanced on the officer with weapons and
with the avowed intention of ‘cut
ting him down.”
Bearing a warrant charging th?
seven with assault, Cauley and two cit
izens deputized by Mm to assist, went
to the home of Henry Beck, a colored
farmer, near Elliott. As the posse
approached the negroes ceased their
work in the field, and grabbing pitch
forks and other tools, made for the
deputy.
Cauley, however, opened fire with
two revolvers before the belligerents
came within striking distance and be
fore the others of the posse had re
gained their wits, five of the attack
ing party were dead and the remaind
er wounded. The deputy surrendered,
hut was released to appear for formal
hearing tomorrow.
Several days ago an attempt was
made to effect tbe capture of the ne

tics to those of today.

New Departure in Orchards
Reported.
With) peaches hanging from the
trees, and no way to utilize them ere
they decay, it was said yesterday that
at the Bagley-Ray orchard -inany wa
gon loads of peaches would be plough
ed under as fertilizer in order to get
rid of the decaying vegetable matter
and at the same time utilize it to an
extent. The peaches cannot be sbip
peci on account of car scarcity, and
while given away largely to people
who came for them, the ploughing in
process is probably deemed the best
way to get rid of the surplus crop
which' cannot be shipped away.

THE CHAMPS TAKE
f THE SECOND GAME.
■ Americus and Albany Still
Tied in Games.
Those who Gave been loudly ac
claiming that the Americus ball team
was not in Albany’s class had their
reputation as prophets shattered yes
terday, for the Champs “came back.”
After the last man had grounded out
to John Wheatley a look at the score
board revealed the fact that the
Champs had crossed tbe rubber five
times, while the Albanians had push
ed only two across.
Tlie visitors scored two in the first
on Wofford’s two-bagger and singles
by Newkirk, Holden and Colby. Things
looked blue for the locals until Vi
bert singled, went to second on Don
alson’s sacrifice and to third on Lo
key’s muff of thrown ball. Peddy
walked, and then Cooper, of home-run
fame, singled to left, which, assisted
by an error, brought Vibert and Ped
dy across.
In the seventh Hooks hit one to
second that was too hot to handle;
Wolfe singled, Hooks going to third.
Robinson, runnig for Wolfe, was out,
Colby to Brooks, but Colby dropped
the ball on the return, allowing Hooks
to score.
In the eighth, after Donalson had
been caught trying to stretch a single,
Peddy singled to right, Wilson was hit
and on a wild throw of third basemau,
both scored.
Neither team played star ball, al
though there was individual plays of
the highest class. Vibert, Peddy and
Cooper fiielded nicely. Wilson caught
a pretty one in center, Wheatley rob
bed Lokey of a bit by a one-handed
stab after leaping several feet into
the air. Wolf pitched good ball after
tlie first inning.
Brooks fielded best for the visitors.
Albany’s playing, as a whole, was not
characterized by the snap of the pre
ceding afternoon.
