AMERICUS. GA., JAN. II, 1907
Americas is getting “good and
ready” now to let out a few tacks
and grow as never before.
The pare food law is folly in
effect. Read the label and then
eaf as though yon really enjoyed it.
Pat something aside every pav
day. There may be squally times
ahead and now is the time to pre
pare for them.
The “negro assailant” seems to
Roarish about as well amid the
drifted Northern snows as here in
the Sunny South.
The almost total failure of the
pass crop this year is tending to
reduce the deatn record on the
railroads. Fewer people are riding.
Now a scientist declares rubber
can be made from wheat. He is
probably some married man who
tried to eat his wife’s first blscnit.
Birningham gets the sab-treasury
plum. Savannah, Macon and, of
course, Atlanta, wanted it, but
the hustling Alabana metropolis is
a winner.

NO ATTEMPT AT CONCEALMENT
Senator Bailey says he never at
tempted to conceal the fact that
he borrowed money from H. Clay
Pierce. He asserts that he de
clined an offer of 950,000 a year to
become Mr. Pierce’s personal at
torney. He says: “Ihave borrowed
hundreds of thousands of dollars
from Mr. Pierce, and I told the
people time and again when the
Tennessee bankruptcy cases were
beiDg talked about that I not only
had that transaction, but many
others, with Mr. Pierce. I once
went to hlm to borrow 9156,000.1
knew of some securities I could
buy by which I could make a few
thousand dollars. Mr. Pierce told
me that he did not have that
amount at hand, but he went to
bank and went my security. I
paid the money back and I made
several .thousand dollars on the
deal.” There is no reason why
United States Senator should not

CABINET CHANGES.
The Americas weather forecasters
who predicted a .long and severe
winter are now going in shirt
sleeve and looking longingly for
the coming of the ice wagon.
“Georgia is in for a great year
of prosperity, when the ring of the
dollar will be the silver tenor to
that of the bells of hope.” Thus
cheerily sings the Constitution.
From Atlanta to the sea, the
Seaboard Railway is going to
become a monster factor in the
development of the state. The
connecting links are last being
forced now.
And now Bishop Candler is after
the Sunday trains and Sunday
newspaoers. He might come to
Americas aud take a hunch in the
grandjurical crusade on ice wagons
and funerals.
Atlanta now stands for high
license and the elimination of
dives. The council very properly
overrode Mayor Woodward's veto
of the high license bill and there
will be no prohibition contest.
Uncle Lon and Harvie J. like
Ajax of old, are defying the light
ning by courting libel suits at the
hands of the cotton exchange. The
Georgia boys are quite willing for
a showdown at the courthouse
with the sharks.
The country in general will, or
should, hail with delight the
order jnst issned which sends all
the negro soldTersXnow in the
United States to the Philippines
for duty. The [monkey woods is
the place for them.

The session of tbo city council to
night will be an important one inas
much as that body will, In all probabil
ity, take definite action regarding tbe
two propositions submitted a week ago
relative to franchises covering an elec
tric plant and street railway.
Two separate companies have thus
submitted propositions to tbe council
fully setting forth the terms upon
which they are willing to make large
investments in Amerlcus.
These propositions have been fully
investigated by that body.
And at the meeting tonight, In all
probability, a decision will be arrived
at and definite action taken. Aa tho
propositions carry the construction
an electric railway and Installation
a modern electric plant, they are all
important.
And citizens ofAmericns are anxious
that these utilities bo secured as soon
as possible, and upon tlio most advan
tagoous terms. It Is an opportunity
thaf cannot be permitted to pass.
At tbe meeting ot the Board'of Trade
on Tuesday night the subfect was dis
cusssed at great length and the follow
ing resolution adopted.
Rkhoi.vku; thatit Is to the Interest
of Amerlcus that an early and definite
contract lie made for lighting, at the
same time securing a system of street
railway in the city, and that the city
council be furnished a copy of this
resolution."
At tbe meeting of the Board of Trade
representatives of the companies mak-
Ing propositions for city lighting and
the construction of an electric railway,
now before tho council, addressed the
Board at length in advocacy of their
respective claims.
In conclusion, a vote was taken as to
tbe views of members regarding tho
operation and ownership of tbe electric
and gas lighting plants Jointly or sepa
rately, resulting in 10 for separate
ownership and 4 for joint ownership
and operatoin. “ '
Doubtless a large delegation of inter,
ested citizens will attend the meeting
of council tonight.

STRIOE THE SOUTH IS MAKING
This is part ot what the South
did in 1906, according to the Balti
more Manufacturers’ Record:.Built
3,055 miles of railroads. Produced
93,00fi,000,000 on its farms. Dug
84,000,000 tons of coal from its
mines. Cut at least 13,000,000,000
feet of lumber. Gave 9700,000,000
worth of merchandise to American
export trade. Manufactured 92,-
000,000,000 worth of goods in iron
and steel and wood and leather and
cotton and wool and other mater
ials. Added 92,650,000,000 to the
value of its real wealth.
Tbe location of the agricultural
college demands rapid iruusit in
that direction, and greater electri
cal power than now afforded.
Americus must keep pace in the
march of progress in this respect.
The festive Filipino will uow

Americus’ suburban property
will quadruple in value in a year
by the construction of the proposed
electric railway. Gentlemen of the
city council, get busy.
That electric plant and street
railway proposition is np to the
council tonight. The growth of
Americus demands these utilities,
and the people want them now.
Mr. Williams Tells of HIs Success On
This Lina.
Mr. K. .S.*WUliam», ono of Sumter's
successful fanners, luis made a remark,
able showing as to the result* ofhls
season's work. Ho raised eighty bush
els of oats to the acre on several acres,
each acre netting him a substantial
profit. He raised 132 bogs during the
season, 100 of which he killed and sold,
and the baa shipped to Atlanta and
sold there three carloads of sweet po
tatoes. Mr. Williams says he plants
cotton only as a aide Issue and finds a
great deal more money In farming this
way than he does In making that his
principal crop.
