THE 4.MERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1900
CANNIRIIS ARE COINING CASH
Plants in Georgia are Running on
Full Time.
The abumlant fruit crop this year
presents a goldeu opportunity for turn- j g 0 ^j er jj 0 y 8 Eojoy Encampment at

ing tbo surplus peaches, pears, plums,
vegetables, etc , into cash, and the
great regret is that some individual
or company in Americns has not taken
advantage of it, made money thereby
and at the same time given employ*
ment to others here needing it.
It is an opportunity that is not af
forded every year.
Americns’ thrifty neighbor, Fort
“Valley, has three extensive canneries,
and they are kept running fnll time,
day and night, in order to keep up
with the work on hand.
These three canneries, established
at small coBt, afford employment to
five hundred people. The product of
these home industries will be shipped
to the northern markets, though much
of it, as in years past, will be shipped
to Americns merchants and sold in this
market.
For it is a lamentable fact that Amer
icas depends largely upon Fort Valley
for the canned fruits consumed here,
despite the fact that we, too, are in
the fruit belt.
We consume many things of this
kind but manufacture nothing.
Tons upon tons of fruit and vegeta
bles are going to waste here because
there is no demand for it. What one
wants to eat can be procured for a few
cents; it cannot all be shipped at a
profit,'and consequently the greater
: portion of the fruit and vegetable crops
is allowed to go to waste, or else is fed
| to the bogs.
i A whole wagon load of fine pears
were dumped out here a day or two
ago. The owner was not offered a
penny for the lot and didn't caro to
' haul them back home.
' In the Fort Valley canneries the out
put is .S,000 cans per day. Peaches, it
is said, constitute three fourths of the
material canned, though tomatoes and
berries are canned in large quantities.
[j All of this kind of truck can be had in
", Americns in the greatest abundance
and at trifling cost.
Shall we always continue to buy, and
manufacture nothing that we consume?

Light Infantry the Toast of Many
Visitors Upon the Island. Great
Sport and Little Hard Work. Break
Camps Wednesday.
From all acconnts tne members of
the Americas Light Infantry are hav
ing all kinds of a good time down
where the wavelets of the blue Atlantio
kiss the white sands of Cumberland,
and will be sorry indeed when the
order is given next Wednesday night
to break camp and march homeward.
Two of the soldier boys, John Ed.
Chapman and Lawson Speer, have re
turned already, being obliged to come
back to business, and both give glow
ing accounts of the encampment. The
Fourth Georgia is a splendid regiment
and the Light Infantry is one of the
crack companies composing it. There
is little work required of the men,
and lots of spare time is afforded for
turtle hunting, flirting or snrf-bathing.
All of the boys are sunburned and
shedding their skins by degrees. There
will be a regimental dress parade at 4
o’clock this afternoon, and those here
who witnessed such occasions when
the New Y'ork and Massachusetts regi
ments were in Americas can picture
the boys of the Fourth Georgia in a
like scene today. The Fourth will
break camp Wednesday night, the
Light Infantry arriving at home the
afternoon following. It has been the
greatest encampment onr company has
ever attended.

Fine Attractions Being Secured For
Next Season.
Americus theatre-goers are going to
see many fine plays when tho season
opens up here early in September.
Fnrlow & Jones, lessees of the opera
house, have already booked a number
of fine attractions, though tho list is
as yet far from complete. Many of the
best ore yet to be given dates.
The best attractions in years are on
;c Southern circuit this season.
And all of the best of these that can
be secured are promised Americus
play-goers during the season.
The theatre will be put in excellent
shape before the coming of the first
attraction. Just what company will
open the season is not yet known,
several are to be heard from.
Among these is The Little Minister,
The Christian and two other fine at
tractions which may be booked.
There will be a number of good plays
here during September, though the
earliest booking so far is that of At
Fields Minstrels in Ootober. The list
to dote shows the following:
For Ootober, A1 G. Fields Minstrels
and CrestoD Clarke.
For November we have Hillyer’s
Minstrels, Hoyt’s “A Milk White
Flag" and Quo Vadis, a great play.
December bookings include W. R.
Palmer, three nights, and Harry
Ward’s Big Minstrels, besides the new
play '‘Other Peoples Money," and
Hoyt's Comedy Co., for a week’s stand.
“The Devil’s Auction" will probably
be a fall attraction also.
The January list includes What Hap
pened to Jones, Secret Service, Other
Peoples Business, Sun’s Minstrels,
Why Smith Left Homo and several
others qnite as well known.
Hermann, the great magician, is also
no the post-holiday list, along with
The Man from Mexico. ”
The new management will strive to
please in the selection of good plays,
and hope to be sustained by the
theatre-going public. The season
promises to be an unusually good, one.
BROWN SEEKING HIS BROTHER
Whom he Was Informed Was Jailed
in Americus.
Thcro arrived here yesterday from
Savour oh a Mr. Brown, who came as a
good Samaritan to relieve the distress
of his brother. Going to the court
house Mr. Drown exhibited a letter
written from Americns and bearing the
signature of his brother, stating that
the latter was in iail hero under sen
tence of twelve months in the ebain-
gang or a fine of $100, Tho writer
modestly requested that this mere bag
atelle be remitted, that the fine might
be paid. Instead of sending tbo “long
green” Mr. Brown came in person,
having the 8100 attached to his vest
pocket, but was dumfouuded when in-
formed that Brown frere’ was not in
the coop here and had not been; more
over, that all the Browns in town were
present or accounted for, and not one
of them had been in hock for 8100,
Mr. Brown of Savannah is much non
plussed and marvels at the audacity of
some practical joker, probably of tho
tribe of Smith or Jones, who has thus
given him a useless chase of 300 miles
to relieve the supposed distress of bis
prodigal brother.

LOUNGERS SAVE THE COUNTRY.
But Entire Crowd Couldn't Raise
Thirty Cents.
The usual coterie of courthouse
loungers occupied chairs in the cool
corridors of the temple yesterdoy, and
in lengthy and heated discussions sat
isfactorily disposed of tho Presidential
campaign and brought about a conclu
sion of hostilities in China. Many
other grave quoBtions were settled by
these statesmen out of a job, but when
a farmer approached and offered to sell
them a peck of luscious grapes for 00
cents it was ascertained that the entire
party of nine conld muster but a quar
ter. The grapo man went his wav and
sold the fruit to brace of thrifty mes
senger boys lor the casb, while the
nine philosophers either dozed in tbeir
chairs or saved the country over again.
PLEASANT TRIP IN PROSPECT.

thcro will go to New York on business.
Tbeir next point will be Lake Cham
plain and Saratoga, going thence to
tho White Mountains for a stay of
some length. A more delightful trip
could scarcely be imagined, as tho
greater portion of the heated term will
be spent at these pleasant resorts.

NEILL TELLS THEM THE TRUTH
Recent Jump in Cotton Result of His
Report.
It is said that the jump of thirty-five
to forty points in the cotton market a
day or two ago was due to a report of
the crop conditions made by Henry M,
Neill, who for once is dealing in facts.
In a report to the English trade he
says the fields in many sections of the
cotton belt havo been abandoned, and
that the outlook for a big crop is any
thing but promising. The fact that be
has taken this stand at this time tends
to confirm many previous reports from
the belt of damage to the plant. The
effect of a report of ihls sort in Liver
pool was to create much uneasiness
among the boarUh element, and a big
jump in prices resulted. But at the
same time Li Hung Neill will bear the
closest scrutiny until the crops are
marketed and sold.
