\VF.fiTON, March 4.—The club met
again last Friday night. Your rt
porter baa come to the conclusion
that It Is time that the dub be ex
posed. It may be that some faw of
its members, un account ot the long
standing of their membership,
would care but little for Its expos
ure. But, gentlemen, think of the
influence you are wielding In jour
town. Is it beneficial to jour sons
your younger brothers, or your
neighbor.)? Is there any good
whatever to he derived from these
meetings? No gentlemen should
participate in any social gathering
where they would not > be willing
for their wives and daughters to
accompany them. Your readers
may hear more in reference to the
club later on. In the meantime it
is sincerely hoped that a more
healthy influence may be exerted
in our community.

Don’t Americus grow ?
AU over the country the people
have beard of our city, and oar
great advantages.
Mr. 8. R. Robeson, of Chatta
nooga, Is one of the number and
arrived here yesterday to take a
look at Americus.
He Is the propriotor of a large
broom factory neaj Chattanooga,
but wauts to move, aud that was
his business here.
He arrived yesterday afternoon
from Macon, and left last night for
his home.
Ho was on a tour of inspection of
Georgia cities, saw Americus aud
was satisfied.
A Recorder reporter saw him,
and found that like all others be
was thunderstruok at the manifold
attractions of our city. In answer
to a question ho said:
“Yes, l am here on a tour of in
spection, and may say right here
that I am satisfied that this i s the
best oity I can find.
“As you have said, my business
is to find a place where I think a
broom factory will pay. I have
been running one near Chattanooga
for some time, but for various rea
sons have been anxious to change.
Not having any particular place lu
mind, I first went to Rome, which
is a thriving little city, but didn’t
quite suit me. Atlanta I found a
little crowded. From there I went
to Athens, then to Macon ai>d then
here. I found some points of ob
jection at all these places, but what
I have seen of your city pleases me
Immensely.
'Of course I have not thoroughly
investigated, but have seen enough
to convince me, and instead of
going to some other places I had In
mind, will go back home to-night.
Within o’month I will return, and
then see what arrangements I can
make for land, etc. I am sure
Americus Is the city I have been
looking for, and Is the best place
for Its size I have seen. The peo
ple have the jpet up and git’ whieh
makes a town grow.”
Mr. Robeson further stated that
his factory wbb a large one, and he
Intended to increase It’s capacity.
Americus has many manufacto
ries, and the number is constantly
being added to. Such as this new
one are the kind that help greatly
In a city’s forward march. Small
enterprises and factories of various
sorts do a great deal, and Mr.
Robeson will be gladly welcomed^
by all.
