AMERICUS IRON WORKS
ISA BIO FIRM AND DO AN AMOUNT
OF WORK
Which Would Surprise Aoyone Who l>oes
Not Know the Extent of Their Plant and
Capacity For Operation—A Peporter'
Visit to the Works.
Yesterday a Timks-Rkcohdkii reporter
took In the Americus Iron Works, and
although the time was unpropitlous for
anything like an adequate critorlan by
which to go for an Insight into the Im
mense business done by this factory, yet
to the uninitiated the hum of machinery
and tae busy army of mechanics would
look like an over-crowding of work.
They are doing muoh, but have capacity
for more.
There are few people in Americus,
comparatively speaking, who realize the
importance and magnitude of this Indus
try. There are no parts of building
Iron that they cannot cast, and steam
engines can bo entirely reproduced, ns is
evidenced by the number which they
now have on hand for repairs and re
modelling.
The foundry connected with the es
tablishment 1b one of full completeness
in all its details, and with the assistance
of an unexcelled pattern-maker, castings
from blind fastenings to 100 liorse-pow
er fly wheels can bo made. Their blast
furnace Is one of groat capacity, and
when at its full beat tho interior us
viewed through the isingglass peep
hole on one side is painfully suggestive
of what impenitent sinners may expect
after a career of earthly iniquity.
Mr. Jas. Lanier, whether from natural
geniality or rushing business, wears a
perpetual and inviting smile and seems
to take as a personal favor tho privilege
of showing visitors over tho extensive
works over which lie has tho super
vision.

THU BAPTIST CIIUBCH
ToBs Speedily Finished—Contractors Be
gun Work Yesterday.
This will bo good nows to many
Americus people. The boautiful ohurch
is suroly going to be completed. The
contractors began work yesterday and
knowing onos say no more delays. This
house of worship will be an ornament to
the city, and a thing of joy to the good
people who have so long been without a
church, if
Dr, Campbell, the faithful and much
loved pastor, has been untiring In his
efforts to keep Ids people together dur
ing the long period that they have had
to worship In halls, borrowed churches,
and in a tent with only the canopy of
Heaven for a shelter. Well has he suc
ceeded and without dtBsent an elegant
Baptist church has been erected and
will ho consecrated with its people In
love and harmony with each other.
Thus the labors of a wise ounsellor of
God have been crowned with success.
The building committee will call this
week on all subscribers who have given
tbelr notes which are now about due
and earnestly beg all to he prepared to
pay promptly.
Mr. Randall Pope, tho retired drug
gist of Madison, Fla., says (Dec. 3, 1880)
he regards P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke
Root and Potassium) as the best alter
ative on the market, and that he has
seen moro beneficial results from the
uso of it than any other blood medicine.

Times-Recorder: 1 am glad to see
that you appreciate my efforts to adver
tise my county at tho exposition. It re
quires no little energy on my part to do

welcomed.

Suppressing' the Press.
The arrest of two editors for printing
nn extract from another paper question
ing the validity of the anti-lottery law is
certainly carrying things pretty high in
this land of free speech and liberal
government.
The Post has no objection to the
stamping out of tho lottery companies,
but the line should bo drawn, it thinks,
at that point where irresponsible under
lings of the government attempt to
stamp out the press.
On this line the Atlanta Constitution
says that “this policy will not work. If
lotteries cannot be destroyed without
also destroying tho freedom of the press,
the people will be in favor of letting the
lotteries alone. Wo cannot affort to
yield our right to speak and publish fair
criticisms of public measures. If we
yield tho right in one instance wo may
oxpect to be forcod to keep silence
whenever it suits the government to de
mand it. Fortunately it is no easy mat
ter to bulldoze the newspapers of
America. The menace of fino and im
prisonment will intimidate very few.
Xo mattor what federal officials may
hold, the newspaper men of the country
will not change tlielr conviction that an
honest criticism or discussion of tho
provisions contained in the anti-lottery
law cannot with any show of justice be
held to be a violation of that law. If
they are mistaken in this belief, then
tho law will have to be repealed or
modified. In tills republic the govern
ment cannot array itself against the
tho press and baro the support of the
people.”
