THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. ^FRIDAY, APRIL 3. 1908.
It is wonderfully
convenient to do
kitchen work on a
stove that’s ready
at the instant wanted,
and out of the way the
moment you’re done.
Such a stove is the New
Perfection Wick Blue
Flame Oil Cook-Stove.
By using it you avoid the
continuous overpowering
heat of a coal fire and cook
with comfort, even in dog-
days. The
Put This Stove in
Your Kitchen
_ NEW PERFECTION
Wick Blue Flame OB Cook-Stove
is so constructed that it cannot add perceptibly to the heat of
a room; the flame being directed up a retaining chimney to
the stove top where it is needed for cooking. 'You can
see that a stove tending out heat in but me di
rection would be preferable on a, hot day to
a stove radiating heat in all directions. The
“New Perfection’’ keeps a kitchen uniformly
comfortable. Three s'zes, fully warranted.

QUITE A LARGE FORGE
LAID OFF AT SHOPS
The machinists, blacksmiths, boiler
makers and other employes laid off
at the Americus shops of the Sea
board Railway on Monday last may
return to work with the company, if
they will go to Jacksonville and ac
cept work In* the shops there.
Such was the statement made yes
terday by some of the men.
This statement would Beem to sub
stantiate the claim made recently
that the company's new shops in
Jacksonville were to be built up at
the- expense of the Americus shops
and other plants, (rom whence work
men are to be withdrawn.
ljjmploje^thus laid off will be taken
back and transferred to the big
shops, at Jacksonville, If they are
willing to go there.
There Is evidently plenty of work
at Jacksonville, and It Is said there
Is no lack of It in Americus.
The men laid off here can get a
Job at Jacksonville all right
The employes laid off here Monday
are as follows.
Machinists, Audley Shipley, H.
Quarterman. J. W. Whittle, Dudley
Gatewood, Jr., C. C. Persons, T.
Cook, J. L. Adams, H. B. Allen, R.
H. Horton. M. Brackman. Black
smiths, Will Arrington, Will Lang
ford, Boilermaker, B. M. Craddock.,
Besides these “unlucky thirteen"
several helpera In various depart
ments were discharged.
It Is not believed that all of these
men will leave Americus, even to’
accept their old Jobs back In a new
field. One of them declared positively
yesterday that he would not go, and
others whose homes and families arc
here will decide likewise.
They are anxious for work, but not
upon snch conditions.

fair
Ten machinists, a number of boiler
makers and helpers In other deO^rt-
ments, probably twenty or more, al
together, were laid off yesterday aft
ernoon at the Americus Bhops of the
Seaboard Railway, thus reducing
forces here.
This action was probably unexpect
ed, as It had not been discussed here
previously.
It was not announced whether the
laying off of this number of employes
was temporary, to the end of reducing
operating expenses, or whether It was
permanent.
The latter theory is the generally
accepted one, as it Is understood that
a great deal of heavy repair work
done heretofore at ^ the Americus
shops would, In future, be turned to
the Seaboard's new shops at Jackson-
vllle.
Forces at the Savannah Bhops will
be reduced as well.
This material reduction of forces
here is very generally regretted, not
only among employes but among bus
iness men as well.
MONEY IS GOMING FOR
VETS IN FEW DAYS
Capt. John 'A. Cobb of the court of
ordinary, than whom no -one haa ever
guarded with more Interest and soli
citude the Interests of the Confederate
veterans and those, entitled to pen
sions, sent forward this morning the
certified list of veterans and widows
of Sumter county who are thus en
titled to pensions. This is required
by state law, and as soon as the list
is verified by Commissioner Lindsey
the money for tho veterans Is for
warded. The second quarterly pay
ment is to be made within the next
week or ten days, or by April 10th,
which will be two months earlier than
was expected. Sumter county's pen
sioners will receive about $1,825 as
their next quarterly payment, and
Captain Cobb will pay them as soon
as the money la received, which will
be before-April 10th, quite likely.
Not Banning on Noise
(Valdosta Times.)
The Augusta Herald wants Joseph
M. Brown to “make a noise like a
candidate," but Mr. Brown Is not
running on the amount of noise he
can make. If the Governor had made
less -noise about the size of the cot
ton crop last summer the cotton
growers of Georgia might have been
better off. We have bod quite enough
noise to last some time.
If 1,500 voters register for the
April primary, as seems probable, the
nimble candidate will have the time
of his life seeing them all.
Americus will assert her claim
this summer as the fruit centre of
southwest Georgia, alike lor peaches,
canteloupes and watermelons.
The lineup in Sumter for Joe
Brown lengthens dally, and the num
ber of hts supporters here will run
Into a big majority by June 4th.

Farmers in the city yesterday talk

Ketuilers.
Sirs.
Americus people who bought tick
ets to Atlanta yesterday paid 2 cents
more for the pasteboard than on the
day before, while passengers to Mont
gomery rode for 72 cents less than
the old rate. There was a general
revision of passenger rates yester
day, and travel from Americus Is
higher to some points and less to
others. For Instance; the rate Am
ericus to Atlanta Is now $3.98 In
stead of $3.96, the former rate; to
Savannah a ticket costa $4.95 instead
of $4.96, a saving of a. whole cent
To Macon, Augusta. Columbus,. Al
bany and other stations on the Cen
tral Railway the rate Is the same;
while to Montgomery a saying of 72
cents Is effected, and to Eufaula the
fare is 35 cents less, these points be
ing outside the state. To all points
In south Georgia touched by/* - the
Atlantic Coast Line Railway the
rates were advanced yesterday.
HORSE WAS KILLED BY
BULLET FROM A RIFLE
Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Shipley are
deploring the loss of a valuable Shet
land pony which was killed by an
accidental rifle allot at their home on
Lee street; a dumb victim to the omni
present and death-dealing parlor rifle.
The little son of a neighbor was “the
man behind the gun" in this .distress
ing episode, and In quest of game fir
ed his rifle at an English sparrow
which,, like his brethren, bears a
charmed life. The sparrow escaped,
but not so with the horse, which was
in the line of fire, and the ball enter
ed the side of the pretty pony, death
resulting In a day or two from the
wound.
