BIG FAIR IN FALL,
Ilenty of Idle Stor. Boom for New
Comers Here.
If anyone desires to come to Ameri.
ons to engage in business they need not
hesitate for fear of being unable to
get a vacant store, for, while dwelling
booses are scaroe there are not less
than eighteen large and'desirable brick
bnsiness houses here without tenants,
some of which have been vacant sever
al years. These stores ropresentan in
vestment of perhaps 355,000, at an
average estimate of 30,000 each though
several of them cost a great deal more.
Of these sixteen empty stores two are
in the Allen House blook, three in the
Windsor Hotel block, two, worth
$4,000 cacb, on Jackson street, four
on Lamar, three on Cotton Avenue,
one in the Thomas block and three on
Lee within a hundred yards of the
courthouse. Beveral others, includ
ing two handsome bank buildings out
of business, are occupied as offices at
nominal rent simply to have them kept
open at all. Never before in the his
tory of the town, perhaps, have there
been so many vacant stores here, ltents
are cheap, and it is hoped that all of
these deserted stores will soon be oc
cupied again.
All Were Saved.

misery from Bronchitis," writes J. H.

Americus is now in line with other
progressive cities of the state that pro
pose having fairs this fall, and the ar
rangements completed so far would
indicate that the Southwest Georgia
metropolis would pull off an entertain
ment the e<i°al of the best.
The Elks have taken hold of the pro
ject and will push it to success, as they
do everything.
The eubjeot has been discussed for
some time, and on yesterday the an
nouncement was made that the fair
was a go. Aud it will be an oocasion
long to remember.

Bold Case Near Americus Beported
Yesterday.
A Mr. Bead, residing several miles
north of Americus, came to the vi'y
yesterday and reported to Sheriff Bell
the fact that he had been held up by
two negroes tbo night before, and that
in escaping from them he was tired
upon ten or a dozen times.
The holdup occurred on the road
leading towards Andereonville.
While the supposed bandits go‘
nothing in the way of valuables, Mr,
Read’s life was endangered by the
fusilade of bullets and the negroes
will be held for assault with intent to
murder,
Mr. Read, it is said, was driving
along in his buggy when suddenly one
of the negroes pinioned his feet while
the other attempted to climb into the
rig. Mr. Road had no weapon, and
for a time it seemed that he was at the
mercy of his assailauts.
The struggle between the meu iu
the buggy frightened the horse and
caused him to leap forward. This ac
tion saved the owner.
Both negroes were thrown aside aud
Mr. Read was freed unexpectedly.
He took advantage of the opportunity
to escape dud left the scene, but not

Textile Workers’ Union Quits Fight
Against the Mills.
Fall River, Mass., Aug. 7.—The big
strike of the cotton mill operatives at
Augusta, Ga., which was lopked upon
Manu,a< * urere and Deaie « m the following H i g h-
eiared oft by the executive commRtee Grade Pianos and Organs:
of that body. The committee met **
here and received the announcement
that the strike In the John C. King
mills In Augusta, Ga„ had ended Aug.
1. It waa shown that the mills had
secured so much help that It waa im
possible for the strikers to win. Thl,
action ends one of the hardest fought
battles known In the textile industry
between labor unions and mill own
ers in the south.
These operatives went on strike last
April for a 10 per cent advance In
wages. The United Textile Workers,
which had been formed but a short
time before, directed the strike
through its qfllclalsInFallRIver. See
retary Hibbert established supply do
pots In various parts of Augusta and
operatives In Georgia and the south
ern part of North Carolina went out
on strike through sympathy. The
sympathetic strikers afterwards re
turned to work. Something like $100,-
000 In all was sent to the strikers from
all over the country.
Members of the committee say that
while the operatlv.es have lost the
strike, trade unionism In the south
has received a strong Impetus.
