SURE TO GET THAT
BIG MILL IN TIME.
Americus to Get a Second
Factory.
A BUILDING SITE IS INSPECTED
While No Positive Assurance is Given
By The Projectors It is Reasonably
Certainly That The Armour Works
Will Build Hero.
That Americus will 1 have a second
large fertilizer plant is now reasonably
assured. The Times-ltecorder, speak'
ing advisedly, has said so already, and
just at present the prospect of scouring
this large industry is brighter than
ever before.
Positive assnranco has not been
given, it is true, but ail indications
point that way.
For some time it has been very gen
erally known that the Armour Ferti
lizer Works contemplated ereoting
large fertilizer plant in Americas
daring the curront year.
This company does a very exteneive
baeiness throngbout this immediate
section, among others, but at present
nearest manufacturing plant is in
Atlanta, and local freight rates ou
goods to this point is the great obstacle
the way.
By manufacturing fertilizers ngbt
here upon the field the company
would be put upon an equal baBis
with others in competing for baeiness,
hence the purpose to bnild.
Mr. A. B, Carpenter, of Chicago, one
the chief officials of the Armonr
Fertilizer Works, with Capt. Dwight
Roberts, commercial representative,
were in the city yesterday, coming
ere upon important business.
These gentlemen, though thorough
' conversant with the local situation
already talked with several prominent
baeiness men of the city and county,
during tho afternoon took a look
at'several very desirable and available
Hiding sites hero.
The oonolnsions reached by them
be made known later.
The advantages possessed by Amen-
is, both as a manufacturing and dis
tributing point, is well recognized,
ad there is na better or more desira-
lo point iu Georgia for the location of
fertilizer plant, or any other large
industry for that matter.
Should the Armonr Works build
here, aB now seems most probable, the
plant wilt be completed daring the
summer and will be ready to begin
operations for the next season,
will I

Throe .Hundred Bales Taken From
Stock Here.
Tho largest sale of cotton mado here
in several weeks was that of two lots
aggregating 304 bales and sold by Mr.
L. G, Council yesterday to O. J. White
& Co., of this city. The Bagley lot of
257 bales was bonghtby the firm as was
the Barrow lot of 47 bales, making a
total of 304 bales. The round price of
8 cents was paid for the cotton, and the
salewas considered an advantageous
one. This shipment of 304 bales will
cat qnite a large slice from stocks in
Americus.

was very steady. January closed at
8.02, March at 8.06 and May at 8.70.

The conrts will, at last, have to de-
oide the question of eupremaoy be
tween the old board of police commis
sioners and the new board recently
elected under the city charter amend
ment. The old board proposes to hold
on instead of resigning office.
Such was the decision reached after
a meeting held yesterday at the office
of Chairman Ferry,
Mr. Fcry was seen after the meet
ing adjourned, and stated that his
board was willing for the courts to
pass upon the matter and decide the
question of jurisdiction.
The matter of resigning was dis
cussed at some length, Mr. Ferry
said, but it was the desire of the
board to bold on until the oourtB tried
the Issue. If the old board had any
rights, nnder snch decision, they pro
pose to Btand by them.
And now the issue is on between
the two police boards.
The Times-Becarder has told already
of the formal installation of the now
board, recently elected, on Saturday
night last; and organization of that
body for business.
The new board proposed to take
charge of the police department Tues
day morning, bat deferred action until
today, pending the result farther
conference on the snbject. It wsb
thought that the matter might reach
some kind of adjustment.
It now remains to be seen what next
the two boards will do towards assert
ing authority.
And also which one of the boards
the police department will recognize
as having authority in directing the
police force of the city.
It ib not improbable that one board
or the other will take legal steps this
morning, although this is a matter of
conjecture only. Bat certain it ie the
vexed question is one whioh the conrts
alone can determine, and the sooner
done the better.
The situation is an unusual as well
as embarassing one, and the people of
Americas will be glad to have it
quickly settled.
