AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1903.
The Sickest Man is Not Always in Bed.
The meanest'kind of sickness is^Just to be able
to attend to duties and yet not feel equal to the task.
The eternal grind keeps many In the traces who
ought to be in bed.
A thorough course of Johnson’s Chill and Fever
Tonic would give a new lease on life to such people.
It tones up the the whole digestive apparatus. Puts
the Liver in the best condition possible. Gives a
splendid appetite. Renews strength and restores
vitality.
Office of J. R. LABSITER.
Hexdsonville, S. C., Sept. 2,1S96.
Mr. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Go.
Dear Sir:—Some years ago I operated a float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly Changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem
ber there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson’s Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine a trial. I procured it, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at onee given the Tonic.
In a short time every one of the one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson’s Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. R. LASSITER.

“We condemn them aa Republican*
for the part which they have taken In
carrying out their unholy aUlance and
wicked agreement with our enemies In
the election of a powerful and inflU'
♦etlal Democratic leader to the Unit
ed States senate, who, with all hit
great abilities and experience will for
six years exert them against the pol
Iclct of our president, Theodore Roose
velt, and who will strenuously endeav
or to embarrass, hinder and obstruct
all Republican measures coming to
fore the American senate.**
Mr. Stewart, who was one of the
most unyielding In tbe anti-Wolcott
leaders In the light. Is credited with
being the spokesman of tbe admini
stration In Colorado and Mr. Goudy
was the principal opponent- of ex-Sen-
ator Wolcott among the candidates In

ACTING IN PERFECT HARMONY.
No Misunderstanding Between Ger
many and England.
London. Jan. 27.—The following
statement was authorised by the Ger
man embassy here:
’There Is not tbe slightest truth in
tbs report of a misunderstanding be
tween England and Germany in regard
to Venesuela. Both governments con
tinue to act In perfect harmony and
will simultaneously withdraw the
blockade at tha earliest possible mo
ment. It Is to be regretted that the
house of commons Is not In session
as a question In the houso would
doubtless reveal the perfect under
standing which exists between the two
countries. Thore has been no dis
approval of anything expressed by the
British government regarding Ger
many’s conduct of affairs in connec
tion with Venezuela. No dato has
yet boen settled upon for raising the
blockade, but It wll 1 cease just as soon
as the representatives of the powers
reach a final agreement with Mr. Bow-
The feeling expressed In the
press here and reflected in the cable
dispatches from New York that Eng
land finds the German alliance em
barrassing, Is In no way confirmed by
the government’s attitude.”

POWERS CONSENT
TO RAISE BLOCKADE
Agreement With Bowen Is
Only Awaited
LARATIONS ARE EXCHANGED
Mammoth Enterprise Near Americus Is
Assured.
BAOLEY-GOBER ORCHARD CO.
Will Plant Half Million Peach Trees Here. Now Town
Will Spring Up in Sumter. Capital of $100,000 Will
Be Invested in Fruit Culture Here. A Great In
dustry Thus Established.
Within a very short time what wiil be the largest singlo peach
orchard Id Georgia, if not in tbe entire oountry, will blossom, into
beauty in;thu suburbs ol Americus, sod the realm of Queen Elberta
will thus be extended over this region, One thousand acres uf .fine
lendjis to be time utilized st onoe; two thousand a-res additional aro
available, and a naif million peach trees will ere long pour a golden
harvest into the coffers of the enterprising .men at the head of this
movement.
And Ameriene will thne become, in due time, one of the principal
trait eenters of Georgia, as the planting of this mammoth orebard here
will induce an immense increase in that industry.
And the men behind the movement? who are they? is, primarily, a
question of great interest tn this connection.
Prominent among those interested Is Mr. H. Clay Bsgloy, |of At
lanta, Mr. N. A. Bay, of Amerleus and Judge George F. Gober, tho lat
ter being already the largest individual fruit grower ia the Istete end
one of the most successful, his msgnifioent orchards in north Georgia
being known tbrongbont the halt belt aa well as in the markets of the
north>nd west, whence hundreds of carloads have been shipped in re
cent years.
Quite recently Judge Gober wsa invited to oome to Amerions to la-
speet the lends of tbe Bsgley plantation, and to delighted was he at the
broad expanse of level red lend—thousand* of seres—Ihet bo end Mr.
Bsgley were not loog upon resohlng e bnsines* agreement.
The result of this has been the formaiion of the Bsgley-Gober Or
chard Oo. with e capital stook of one hundred thousand dollars, one
fourth of which has boon actually paid la.
Tbe laud has been esrefnlly examined and snyalized by experts,
andjia pronounced nnsnrpaased in adaptability tor fruit culturo, This
fsot was known slresdy, however, for Ospt. Bsgley has long grown
peaches most eneoesafally on his plantation here.
In the management of thie mammoth enterprise, whlob promises so
mncli for this section of Georgis, Mr. N. A. Rtv, one of tbs foremost
end most saecessfnl planters of Georgia, nod who Is direotly interested
in this new company, will look after tbe culture and maintonanoo of
the orchard, Mr. Bsgley will take care of its fioaneial interests, while
Judge Gober will lead hie effort* end experience in marketing the pro
ducts. In this respeot he has been signally eneeessfnl in the manage.;
ment of his large orchards in north Georgia.
Well known and ezperleneed orchard men will bo employed by the
oompsny to look after the trees and the aotnel work of production of
trait.
Tbe lands to be thne ntilized are portions of the large Bsgley plan
tation, tbe former Bey plantation, and the Livingston place. AU of this
lies in a compact body 8,000 seres in ares, as level ta a floor and highly
prodnetive withal. In feet, there ia no finer farming lands in ail south
Georgia.
Mr, Bsgley was here yesterday, and elated to the Times-ltecorder
that the company had already let the contract for the planting of two
hundred thousand peach trees of selected varieties, and that three
hundred thouiand trees additional wonld be planted ate later date.
Orders for these trees have reeently been placed with tbe most reliable
nurseries in Georgia. ,
And e bnsy community will, in time, spring up about this immense
orchard.
Tbe < cntral of Georgis Railway to Mseon, as well as soother hoe to
Colombo- and Birmingham ran direetly through this great plantation,
thus affording tbs company exeelltn’- shipping facilities.
A regular station will be established and additional traeks put in at
wbatia now 8tewart’s Oroaslog and tbs name will be changed to "Bag-
ley” in honor of Mr. n O. Bsgley. A station agent will be pul in
charge, and both an express end telegraph • file* establish el in tbe new
town of Begley,
Tbe Bsgley-Gober Giber Orebard Co. alio propose patting np s large
refrigerating plant for tbe ielng of oars of frair, and later a canning fac
tory will be erected, ai it ie proposed to otUii* every portion of tho
prodnel of thie mammoth orebard. This enterprise mesne not ouly
tho investment of 8100,000 of eepitel here, bat the impetu* that will be
given frail enltnre in Bnmter county will result in even larger benefits.
It will transform an erstwhile ootton plantation into one of the most
magnificent peach orebard* tn tbe state ot Georgia, and others will plant
trees as well.
Mr. Bagley states that his company will tlao build a largo publio gin
nery and grist mill at the town of Bsgley. The ginning plant will bo
equipped with font 70 saw gins that cau lam oat forty hales ootton dai
ly. This plant, Mr. Bagley says, will be^eady for operation before the
next cotton crop matures.
