Americus Will be Tobacco
Market.
The success attending the growing
of tobacco near Americus this year,
though upon a small and experimen
tal scale, has encouraged others to
that end and a much larger acreage
will be planted next spring. Mr. Sven-
denbory made an excellent crop
this year on his little farm one mile
west of the city and Becured good
prices for It right here In Americus
the buyer going to his barn to In
spect and purchase It. Mr. E. J. Me-
Gehee, who Is interested In tobacco,
has leased a farm on Brooklyn
Heights and will plant five or ten
acres In tobacco next spring. Mr.
McGehee will go about the business
systematically, building rrames for
the proper shading of the plant dur
ing Its gfowth. Considerable expense
Is thus entailed In the growing of i
crop, but prices will warrant the out
lay. Americus has a well established
cigar factory which uses large
quantities of selected leaf tobacco In
the manufacture of flue cigars. At
present the factory buys Its tobacco
in Cuba, Florida, and Connecticut, but
If It Is demonstrated that as good to
bacco leaf can be grown In Sumter
county a line market is already at
hand for the output of several farms
right here at home.

Ofllclal orders have been given abol
Ishing the Third and Fourth Reg!
ments of State troops, but while this
is true, technically, the same number
of companies will remain In service,
though the formation of the troops
will be upon a different basis.
The Americus Light Infantry, as a
company of the Fourth Regiment, will
now be Included with the Columbus
and Albany companies as the First
Battalion, instead.
There are now forty-four Infantry
companies, eight troops of cavalry,
and two batteries of light artillery In
the service of the State. All of these
will remain but the regimental head
quarters for three will be abolished,
with a consequeuta! saving of several
thousand dollars to Georgia.
In speaking of the order General
Scott said:
"For years Georgia has tried to
keep up too many troops on too little
money. We had to do this In order to
equip the troops properly. Every
company in the State will be taken
care of, and expense of maintaining
headquarters will be reduced.”
The State war department is now
receiving from Georgia and the Unit
ed States government about $97,000 a
year which goes to support and equip
the national guard of Georgia.

The Seaboard Railway freight and
passenger depot, at DeSoto, one large
structure, was burned at an early
hour yesterday morning together with
the greater part of the freight stored
there. The building was well aflame
ere the fire was discovered, and con
sequently but little could be saved.
Stored In the freight department was
large lot of miscellaneous freight
and many bnrrels of whiskey for the
holiday trade, and nearly all of this
was destroyed. Several telegraph
poles were burned, thus cutting off
wire connection with Americus. For
tunately there was no cotton on the
yard at the time, as Is usually the
case at small towns, and burned
cotton bales are not added, therefore,
the other losses. DeSoto has no
fire protection and the depot fell a
prey to the flames. The loss will to
tal several thousand dollars.

’’The convention was a profitable
one for Georgia,” said Capt. Frank P.
Mitchell yesterday. "The attendance
was large, out of a possible 127, the
number present being 120.
“This remarkable proportion was
due to the desire of the postmasters
to meet the officials of the Postofflcc
Department, particularly First As
sistant Postmaster General Hitch
cock. This official has the appointing]
power and also looks after the matter
of salaries.
"It was a source of regr-t to all
that Mr. Hitchcock was unable to be
