SEVENTY FOUR CAR LOADS.
Thst Is Th. Amount of Salt Purcbs.eu
By ono Americas Firm.
Americus does nothing by halves,
Neither does any of the firms or
corporations doing business here.
When they onoe enter into any'
thing it is with utmost confidence
in the enterprise and to have noth
ing undone which will lead to suc
cess.
The cohsolidation of the whole'
sale grocery firms of Glover A La
nier and P. C. Clegg A Co. was
brought about by a desire on their
part to be able to undersell any
other city which might seek to en
ter our territory, and to give Amer
icus exclusive control, by reason of
her lower prices, over the wholesale
grocery business of Southwest
Georgia.
It was readily perceived by the
members ot the firms that this
could only be done by buying In
large quantities. Hence the con'
solldation.
One of the largest salt trades of
the season was made yeaterday by
the Americus Grocery Company—
the new corporation. They pur
chased at Now York twelve thou
sand bags of salt. To convey this
-alt to Savaunah they found It nec
essary to charter the three-masted
■ailing schooner, "Annie Ratchet-
-ler,” and she Is now ship'
plug her cargo at New York. To
transport this immense quantity
of salt from Savannah to Americus
"ill require seventy-four cars, and
arrangements are now being per
fected with the S. A. M. officials to
furnish the cars. This will make
three heavy trains loaded with salt
to the single firm, which will roll
mto Americus within tho next
Month.
. The Americus grocery company
| s buying all of their supplies In
team load quantities. Recently
"'ey received fifteen thousand
jacks, the contents of two thousand
"arreiH of flour. Their warehouses
*te now filled up with other staple
goods, purchased lu like quantities.

THE IRON WORKS.
Tbs First Moulding will Probably be
Done Next Week.
The engine will etart to-day.
Listen this morning for the shrill
whistle of the Americus Iron
Works, which will denote that the
plant is almost ready to begin work
Late yesterday evening the last
work on the smokestack ot the
boiler ot ihe Iron works was com'
pleted. Mr.E.F. Lanier announced
that this morning steam would be
started for the first time In the
boiler.
Tbe three structures composing
the iron works are almost entirely
completed. A force of machinists
brought from West Point are now
at work placing In position the
uarlous machines, which have been
shipped from the West Point
shops.
The moulding room is completed
and work can be begun here as soon
as the sand arrives. A car load haB
been shipped and is expected to ar
rive by Saturday. Here the first
work must bo done. In one corner
stands the Iron cupalo In which the
molten iron Is held. It is
capable of holding a charge of
four tons at one time, and It
can be re-charged as the work pro'
greases. A large orane stands lu
the center rf the room which dan'
gle the heavy ladles. This allows
large quantities of the melted iron
to be conveyed quickly and safely
to any part of the mould-ng room
The wood working department la
not yet under cover, but work is
rapidly progressing.
While It Is probable that tbe first
moulding will be done early next
week, it will be a fortnight before
the iron works are in active opera
tlon.

CARS AND LOCOMOTIVES.
Costs of Them Reduced by Use of Ma
chinery In Manufacture.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle.
A gentleman of this city who has
had occasion to investigate the mat
ter, states that freight cars never
were so cheap as at present. In
lots ot fifty or more, 30-ton cars,
strongly built and having all the
Improvements, can be had for $450
each, and, he continued, “if you
want them handsomely painted and
varnished, with your name in guilt
letters on each side, you can get
them for $500 each. In fact freight
cars are so cheap that it does not
repay to remodel old light-burden
cars, and last year the Reading
Railroad Company mado a bonfire
of fifty of Us old pattern cars. Lo
comotives are also very cheap, a
machine of the best kind, that dur-
the war would havo cost from $25,-
000 to 30,000, can now be built pro
fitably for $8,000 to $7,000. When
asked as to the cause of this cheap
ness of cars he said it was due part
ly to the low cost of material, but
more largely to the introduction of
labor-aavlug machinery. All the
cars nre built to gauge, and when a
big order is received everything is
gotten out by machinery, and about
the only hand work required is the
bolting of the different parts to
gether.

The Birmingham News contains
the following in regard to the pro
posed extension of the S. A. M.
road iutq.the mineral region of Ala
bama:
The Savaunah, Americus A Mont
gomery railroad will be extended to
the mineral regions of Alabama,
which, of course, means It will come
to Birmingham.
Chief Engineer R. E. Hardaway
was in tbe city this morning enroute
from Americus, Ga. A News repor
ter met Capt. Hardaway and had a
pleasant chat with him,In the coarse
of which he elicited some informa
tion concerning tbe Savannah,
Americus A Montgomery which
will be of Interest to Birmingham
people. Capt. Hardaway said: “It
may be considered a fact that tbe
Savannah, Americus A Montgom
ery has an eye on Birmingham. Of
course, with the present trafflo ar
rangements now existing between
that road and the Central, whieh
are very close, a good amount of
Birmingham and North Alabama
freight goes over the Savannah,
Amerlcua A Montgomery to Savan
nah, but our people Intend to have
a line of their own Into the min
eral region of Alabama In
the near future. No active steps
have been taken In that direction
yet that I am at liberty to speak of,
as the attention of the construction
department of the road Is at present
devoted to the building of the ex
tension to Montgomery. All tbe
surveys on the Montgomery exten
sion have been made! terminal fa
cilities purchaied and tbe contracts
let three days ago. A new construc
tion company which has been
formed to build the road, have
the contract, but I am not at liberty
to say who is behind the company.
The Savapnah, Amarlcus A Mont
gomery is after freight from the
mia<>ra] regions, and will build in
order to get it.”
“The proposed Birmingham or
North Alabama extension will not
be built until the Montgomery ex
tension is finished, will It ?” asked
the reporter.
“The Montgomery extension will
not interfere. Railroad* work very
quietly and as soon as all arrange
meats,such as an assurance that the
road can gel enough freight to pay
it, securing of terminal facilities,
right of way, etc., tbe road will be
built to the mineral district. It is
the policy of our line to make no
surveys or do nothing until all Is
ready and everything Is a certainty
It sufficient inducements are offered
the line will be built.”
The 8. A. A M. Is a live, progress'
Ive road, backed by plenty of money
and brains, and Its extension to the
mineral regions of Alabama may
wetl be regarded as a certainty

BY NIGHT.
Bow Amarlcus Appear* to ■
On > Train
Americus by night.
The view of our city as one ap
proaches it by night over the Cen
tral railroad Is one ot tbe prettiest
sights in Southwest Georgia.
Our oity presenta itself to great
advantage to the traveler, and pre
sents the best appearance by far of
any town In Southwest Georgia.
The first view of Americus given
to the traveller approaching from
the North Is the sudden enrollment
of a number ot twinkling electric
lights. High above all can be seen
the commanding light on the coun
ty court house.
The lights are scattered over a
large area. They appear and dis-
appear like the twinkling stare.
One moment naught can be seen
by tbe traveller but the light on
the cou rt house. Tbe next moment
ae the train rushes past tbe bill
whloh temporarily prevented tbe
view, dozens of glaring lights burst
forth.
The train draws rapidly nearer.
Tbe lights have changed their post
tlon. The courthouse light, Instead
of appearing to tbe front, glim
mers from a distance. But few
ot the piercing electric lights can
be seen, those at the foot of Jack-
son street, Lee street, and on Brook'
lyn Heights, being the most com
•piouons.
It would almost seem to the travel
er that the city bad been passed,
but a short distance further and the
train Is whirled Into the depot. The
dazzling glare of a number of lights
break suddenly forth, and several
street care can be seen, while in the
distance tbe brilliantly lighted
electric plant looms up.
Traveling men comment on all
sides upon the fine appearance
which Americus' makes from the
train. Not another oity can equal
it, either in extent or beauty.
Flesh a mass of disease, eonditibu

Every Orchard In tha Country More or
Liu Affected.
The Quitman Press says that
blight has fastened Its deadly grip
upon the magnificent LeConte pear
orchards iu Brooks county, and
adds:
From every direction the unwel
come n?ws reaches us that the
leaves are dying—turning black,
and that, in some lnslauces, tbe
fruit is withering.
Every orchard we have heard
from Is more or less affected, aud
the disease Is not confined to the
fruit stems and tender sprouts.
We have a large limb, taken from
the lower part ot a ’ nine-year-
old tree, and the fruit on it
withered. The limb began dying
at the trunk of tha tree, and tor
about ten lnohes the wood is dead,
while from there to the top, a dis
tance ot about six feet, the leaves
■how signs of gradual decay, and
tbe fruit,which is two-third* grown,
Is shriveled up.
Of course no one can tell to what
extent this blight will Injure the
trees, but the outlook just now is
gloomy.
Suffering with pain iu tbe back is
inexcuBeable when same can be
promptly relieved by Lamar's Ex
tract and Bucbn and Juniper.
