JURY DECLARED HEY3 GUILTY
ftii But Recommended a Misdemeanor
Punishment.
1 M Guilty, was the verdict rendered by
® the jury in the ease of the State versus
HE.L Heys, charged with embezzie-
* 1 .*i meat, bnt this verdict was greatly
tempered by the recommendation of a
C i misdemeanor punishment
1 Instead of imprisonment, it may
diV. f mean a lighter punishment in the pay-
i.' 1 ’ ment of a tine by the defendant.
j. This case, which has aroused much
! H interest on account of the prominence
of the parties involved in the prosecu
tion and defense, was concluded at 5
. o’clock yesterday.
i The taking of testimony was finished
the afternoon previous, aud at the
opening of the court yesterday the
argument of counesl was begun, This
consumed the day, practically, the case
going to the jury about 1 o'clock.
Sir. James R. Williams opened for
J jpp the defense in a very able argument
S[ and was followed by Messrs 1 Unlock
and Fort for the state. Sir. Joseph
B. Hudson, for the defense, had the
conclusion.
After deliberating an hour the jury
returned a verdict of guilty, recom-
. , mending a misdemeanor punishment,
S This mny mean imprisonment not ex-
: ceeding a term of twelve months, or
• U-M six months in jail, or a fine not exceed-
t; ing $1,200, it being in the discretion of
i; Uj e court to impose, at his discretion,
any part of the punishment.
And the limit was given by the court
in this instance.
Judge Littlejohn imposed n sentenco
of twelve months imprisonment, or a
fine of one thousand dollars. A 1 ".
Hoys attorneys at once gave notice of
;a motion for a new trial, which will be
;heard shortly.
And thus endod for the present a cel
ebrated case in Americus.

THE AMERICAS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JUNE 21. 1901.
THREE ADDITIONAL
RODTES SDRVEYED,
Congressman Lewis Is Covering The
County.
MAKES TOTAL OF SEVEN LINES.
Through Efforts of Mr. Lewis The
Postoffice Authorities Have Author
ized Establishment of Complete
Service in Sumter.
Sumter county will Boon be abreast
of any in the state and ahead of a hun
dred others in the completeness of her
rural mail route service. Every por
tion thereof from the northern to the
sontbern limits and from Plains to
Flint river will have a regular daily
mail.
Seven instead of four rural routes
will traverse the county.
Nearly a year ago, through the ef
forts of Congressman K. 15. Lewis,
four routes of from twenty-five to thir
ty five miles each were established,
leading out from Americns.
It was then believed that this ser
vice would very nearly cover the coun
ty, or the more densely populated por
tions thereof, bnt so well pleased were
the farmers thus served with a daily
mail that those in other seotions lees
fortunate wanted a mail ronte also.
Recently Mr. Lewis made a trip to
Washington for the purpose of seeing
'what could be done.
If more routes coaid be had he want
ed to get them.
Mr. Lewis was promised that In
spector Arnold would come to Ameri
cas and study out the situation. He
came, aud with Postmaster S. A.
Smith has just completed a tour of
the county where a bettor servioo is
wanted, and promises ns three addi
tional routes.
This information will bit gratifying
to thoso who resido along tho three
proposed mail lines.
One of these will,traverse tho Friend
ship section, another that below Sum-
tor City and eastward back to Ameri
cas, while the third one will ;nake a
complete circnit of The Plains.
These three additional lines will
give Samter as many rural routes as
any county in Georgia has, and more
than a largo majority of them, and the
hundreds of peoplo thus served will
doubtless appreciate the efforts of Mr,
Lewis and Postmaster Smith in their
behalf.
Mr. Arnold thinks tho new routes
will be accepted and established as
soon as the necessary details can be
completed.

HONORED THEIR FAIR VISITORS.
Misses Ferry Entertain at Their Ele

Social Americns enjoyed many very-
elegant entertainments tho past week
which, on account of the commence
ment exorcises was one of nnasnal
gaiety, and prominent among others
was that given by Misses Ora and Ira
Perry at their beautifal Lee street
home.
The occasion was in honor of their
fair visitors, Misses May and Bessie
Qoinney, of Waynesboro.
The Perry home, with its decora
tions and myriad lights, was a scene of
beanty indeed which was greatly en
hanced by the presence of fair yonng
girls of surpassing lovlincss.
Mr. and Mrs. Terry, ever gracions
as hosts, assisted the young ladles in
the entertainment of their half hun
dred gnests, there being twenty-five
couples present. Unique puzzles in
American history interested the hap
py throng from nine nntil ten o'clock.
Shortly before eleven a delicious
menu of icis was served.
The Misses Perry, who are number
ed among the fairest of the season's
debutantes here, were the recipients
of many compliments upon the success
of their entertainment, and certainly
social Americas can recall none more
thoroughly enjoyed.
Their gnests, the Misses Quinney,
have been the recipients of manv dis
tinguished attentions daring their
pleaeant visit of a week here.

No one needs to lie told to try to cure

be told of a means of cure which will
be thorough and lasting. I)r. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is a medi
cine which call be confidently relied
on to cure diseases of the organs of
respiration. It cures obstinate, deep-
seated coughs, bronchitis and bleeding
of tlie lungs. It cures when nothing
else will cure, and the local physician
says: "There is nothing more that we
can do."
There is no alcohol in "Golden Med
ical Discovery," and it is absolutely free
from opium, cocaine and all other nar
cotics.
The dealer, tempted by the little more
profit paid by less meritorious medicines,
will sometimes try and sell a substitute
when the " Discovery " is asked for. No
substitute medicine will satisfy the sick
like "Golden Medical Discovery." It
always helps. It almost always cures.

GEORGIA PEACH CROP
S03IE VAl.UAULK SUGGESTIONS
TO nil. GROWER OK THE
LI C lOUS FRUIT.
GRADING AND PACKING
Method Practiced In Large Georgia
Orchard—The Necessity of a
Canning Factory.
June 1st, 11)01.
JUNE TALK OF THE COMMISSIONER.
As tho peach crop has become one of
tho most important in Georgia, and as
some peach-growers iu our state are new
at this business, some hints on this sub
ject may porve heipful to many. The
condition in which peaches reach the
market aud their adaptability for tbe
fruit trade depend largely upon the
manner in which they are graded and
packed. In some orchards no special
preparations are made beforehand, aud
there is no special organization for the
work. Unskilled hands do the packing
aud through carelessness ia the selec
tion a few peaches, perhaps but slightly
tainted, find their way into the crates,
with the result that the whole mass be
comes infected and the fruit rejected by
the dealers is thrown back upon the
hands of the shipper. Then we hear
the complaint that there is no money in
peaches. But Providence has never yet
bestowed a gift upon a people for the
handling of which there could not be
found some intelligent and hence suc
cessful method.
The orchards of Georgia have attrac
ted such wide attention throughout the
United States that we fiud them fre
quently mentioned iu periodicals de
voted to funning aud horticulture even
iu the distant north.
In the American Agriculturist, pub
lished in Springfield, Mass., and in New
York and Chicago, Professor W. G.
Johnson thus describes the method
practiced iu the orchards of J. II. Hal e
of Georgia.
“The fruit is sorted into three grades
and placed in long canvas trays arranged
iu compartments iu frout of the worker,
about one foot above the center of the
table, with the packers on the opposite
side. Tho peaches are classified into
throe grades aud then packed into car
riers of six baskets each. About 100
peaches of extra large size are packed iu
a carrier. The No. 1 size usually re
quires from 120 to 150, while No. 2 takes
from 190 to 210. Peaches below this
size are, as a rule, uot placed in carriers.
Tho fruit is carefully graded by experts,
many of them being orange packers
from Florida. Every peach must bo up
to standard size, without blemish aud in
perfect stuge of ripeness before being
placed iu a basket. The general fore
man of the packing shed keeps a very
careful watch over all tho fruit packed,
aud before the lid is nailed on a crate an
expert makes a full inspection, being
sure that every peach is up to standard.
If a single peach is found containing u
bruise or a blemish of any kind, the en
tire crate is returned to the packer and
as a penalty must be repacked.
“The fruit is haudled mostly by white
men and women, and expert packers
can put up from 80 to 100 carriers pet
day, the number depending largely upon
the variety and amount of fruit- being
packed. Some experts pack from 175 to
200 carriers a day, each person handling
from 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of fruit, in
addition to removing the baskets and
middle tray of each carrier.”
Every well equipped orchard should
have uot only its packing house, but
also its canning factory, where the
peaches not selected for shipping not
reserved for home consumption cau be
put up iu cans and thus preserved until
required for fall aud winter use at the
home or for sale iu all the cities and
towns, where there is always a demand
for such goods.
None of the fruit should be wasted,
bat the peaches not shipped or canned
or consumed at homo while fresh from
the trees should bo carefully dried and
stored away, for future use. For this
the evaporator is in many respects supe
rior to the old method. The fruit thus
dried looks whiter and cleaner and finds
a readier sale than that dried by the
sun, though some prefer the latter.
Among the famous orchards of Geor
gia aro those of Messrs. Humph, Stubbs,
Gobcr and Miller.
Save the Farm Manure.
The most important problem with
horse manure is to prevent it from
leaching. Some haul it to the field at
once and spread it. Daring the crop
season, while the growing plants al
ready have all the fertilizers needed for
them, this manure can be profitably
used by spreading it upon the meadows
aud pastures. In spreading manure
when the fields are bare it must bo sc
placed that rain will not leach out the
ammonia and other valuable materials.
If the manure cannot be taken to the
fields, a shed should be built in close
proximity to the stable and so construct
ed that the rains will uot fall through
it, aud under this shed the manure
should be placed from day to day.
Manure from cattle can be treated in
the same way, though the matter of
keeping it from leaching is not so im
perative, as it does uot heat so readily,
being known as cold manure. For this
reason it should uot be used for hot bed?
and cold frames.
Where beef cattle are stall-fed and in
a lot or around a straw stack, when the
animals have been sent to market, the
manure cau be put upon a spreader and
distributed over the fields. Some of these
spreaders will distribute tbe finest com
mercial fertilizer or tbe coarsest lot ma
nure filled with unrotted straw and fod
der. Tho work dono by the spreader is
far better than that done by hand.
Concerning Sugar Cane.
Iu a compilation of the comparative
value of field crops made by the Florida i
Experiment Station, Lake City. Florida,
it is shown that sugar cane is by far the
most productive crop for that state, and
that the next best paying crop is pea-
■ uts. Such also is the case on such
South Georgia lands as produce only
ooe bale of cotton io three acres, nine
and a half bushels of corn aud nine of
oats to tho acre, Bur there are large
stretches of very fertilo laud iu Mi idle
and South Georgia which produ v a
bale of cotton to the acre, from tweuiy-
five to thirty bushels of corn and oats to
the acre, and 300 bush*-!* of potatoes.
On lands of this sort there is uot such
a marked superiority of sugar caue over
other crops. But with skillful manage
ment it holds its own with the best of
them, aud is superior to most of them.
Therefore we conclude that sugar caue
is a great wealth produciug crop aud
that its cultivatiou will add greatly to
the prosperity of tho farmers of South
ern Georgia as well as of our seaports,
Savannah aud Bruuswick. These cities
will need a large growth of the syrup
and sugar industries to take the place
of the lumber aud uaval stores business
which must grow less in proportion as
the great pine forests are exhausted.
This may seem to mauy a worn out
theme, but the Department of Agricul
ture, realiziug the supreme importance
of this great crop to the farmers of all
South Georgia, feels that it will be ex
cused for keeping this subject before the
minds of those most interested.
There are some very encouraging in
dications of growth in the syrup and
sugar industries. One of these is the
fact mentioned by Colonel L O. Wade,
land and industrial agent of the South
ern railway, that iu Appling county,
where two years ago only 100 acres were
planted iu sugar caue, there are now
1,500 acres devoted to it. Another is
that a company of Illinois capitalists,
believing that Georgia cau produce as
good sugar as Louisiana, has purchased
over 50,000 acres of timber laud in
Clinch county, intending to saw out the
lumber, aud, after the laud is sufficient
ly cleared, to build largo sugar mills
and plant thousands of acres iu cane.
Ono of the most indefatigable workers
in this cause is Captain D. G. Purse of
Savannah, and his efforts are heartily
seconded by that liberal-minded journal,
the “Louisiana Planter and Sugar
Manufacturer,” which gives encourage-
mout to every scheme for the upbuilding
of the entire South. We are glad to see
that other journals besides thoso of
Georgia are taking an interest iu what
so much pertains to the welfare of our
State.
Tne establishment of a sugar experi
ment station in the cane belt which was
recommended by the Bruuswick con
vention has met with strong endorse
ment by tho Brunswick Board of Trade,
which offers to furnish 500 acres for
that purpose, and by the Macon Cham
ber of Commerce which also urges upon
the Georgia legislature the passage of a
law for preventing the adulteration of
Georgia syrup.
This department is exceedingly anx
ious to see Georgia come to tho frout in
the sugar industry, without reluxiug
any of her zeal for the other crops that
huve been worth so much to her iu the
past. Georgia already takes high rank
uniting her southern sisters iu both ag
riculture aud manufactures. Wo wish
to see her in the front rank iu the
growth of every product for which her
soil is adapted. Nature has liberally
endowed her, and every true sou of tlie
state desires that she should make the
best use of her opportunities.
Oats for ft* oruge.
The value of well-cured oat hay for
all kiuds of farm stock, especially for
dairy cows and sheep, is well kuowu.
Some prefer to cut the oats for hay just
as they are beginning to bloom, while
with some varieties it may be better tc
begin a little earlier, with others a little
later. It is better to leave the stubbles
at least three or four inches long. The
treatment after cutting should be about
the same as that for hay. Oat hay cau

FOUR KILLED AT CROSSING.
Engineer Did Not Have Clear View
of the Track.
Flint, Mich., June 14.—The Pere

aclear view of the track. Major Buck-
iugnam drove directly in front of the
traiu, which was traveling at high
speed. The pilot of tlie engine was
broken by the force of the collision and
the bodies of two of the ladies terribly
