If Anyone Will Put In Necessary
Equipment—Excellent Opportunity
For Small Investment- Americus
8hould Have Just Such Plant,
Americas will have a fruit canning
plant in operation within a few weeks
if some fellow with faith and three or
fonr hundred dollars will join a citizen
here who has plenty of faith, land and
lumber, and is willing to invest all in
a factory.
Only the man who will buy the need
ed equipment is to be fonnd.
Sunday’s Timcs-Recorder told of the
phenomenal snooess of the frnit and
vegetable eannery in Fort Valley. A
oitizen who read it was impressed
with the statements made.
Yesterday he told the Times-Re-
border that he was willing to invest in
a eannery hero if someone would join
in with him. He has a splendid fao-
tory site on the railroad front, right in
the city, and ail the lumber that will
be required in putting up buildings.
This is half the battle won, if we can
win the balance.
It will require some 8350 to $500 to
eqnip a plant with machinery. If
someone will iarnish this amount, let

OOOKFIOHTINGIS ILLEGAL
Bo Deolared Hy Attorney General—I*
Is Likely, However, That Violation,
of Law Will Be Winked at By tbn
Local Authorities.
Sam Juan, P. R., May 14.—Attorney
General Harlan bos decided that cook-
fighting is illegal; so aboat the only
amusement of the Porto Ricans is to bo
taken from them.
In May a general order was issued
whioh officially approved tbe regula--
tions of the local society for the preven
tion of ornelty to animals.
One of these regulations prohibited
cook-fighting, but the order was never
enforoed. The attornoy general, on be
ing asked to decide whether the gen
eral ordor of the military authorities
wns still law, held that it rnfcat be con
sidered ns a general police rognlation,
to bo enforced as are other laws. The
penalty provided is heavy.
Hough mi the Sports.
Sports are entirely lacking in Porto
Rico. The small boys are just begin
ning to know about baseball and in a
few years that game may become popu
lar, but to deny tho people of the coun
try cock-fighting is to take from them
thoir principal recreation.
Chief of Police Fetohersnid yesterday
that he was in favor of oock-flghting
and did not intend to hunt for cockpits.
Any pit against which a complaint
might be made would be raided, bnt no
wholesale arrests would lollow. The
chief evidently goes on the principle
that a custom of 800 yoars oannot be
aprootod in a day.
"Three things, drinking, gambling
