HOW TO BUILD
UP A TOWN
Mr. Betjeman to Give Good
Talk Tuesday Night.
One of the most important public
meetings ever held In Amerlcus will
be that at the City Hall on next
Tuesday night, when Mr. Betjeman,
secretary of the Albany Board of
Trade, and well known as a worker
for the upbuilding of Georgia, will
address the business men and citi
zens generally of Amerlcus on "How
to Build Up a Town.”
Mr. Betjeman made a decided im
pression by his speech at the recent
dinner of the Amerlcus Board of
Trade. He showed plainly that he
had studied the problems of town
promotion and understood what were
the obstacles In the way of building
up small cities and how best to over
come them. •
After the dinner Mr. Betjeman was
requested by some Amerlcus business
men to come to Amerlcus and give
a public talk on the matter of the
development of public spirit and the
expansion of a city industrially and
otherwise. He readily consented and
Tuesday next was arranged as the
date for the address.
Mr. Betjeman has done a fine work
for Albany. He has been a powerful
factor In enthusing the people of
that city, in stimulating them to
efforts that are bringing rich results,
and in so presenting the claims of
Albany to the world that its growth
in every direction has been accelerat
ed. Last year, It is stated, Albany’s
population, by actual count. Increas
ed over 1,000, and of these it is stated
that fully 400 additions were due to
the efforts put forth by the Board
of Trade to draw settlers and secure
new enterprises.
Albany Is moving ahead In magnifi
cent shape. Its business men stand as
a solid body for everything that will
tend to build up the city. Mr. Betje
man will probably tell of the work
that has been done there and in other
Southern cities along the same lines.
Amerlcus will get the benefit of his
investigations and advice.
The meeting should be largely at
tended. Every business man and
every citizen who earns a livelihood
here, and who feels an Interest In
the future welfare of the city should
show by his presence that he en
dorses a movement that seeks to
build up Amerlcus. The talk will
undoubtedly be a thoroughly enjoy
able and profitable one to all pres
ent.

'roperty of Harrold Bros.
Leased for 5 Years.
Roberts Bros., who are to put up
the new peach cannery, yesterday
closed a deal with Harrold Bros, for
a lease for a term of years on the
old cooper shop and a tract of land
at the corner of the firm’s wood yard,
back of their cotton warehouse, the
property being continguous to the
Central tracks. The deal was closed
by Mr. J. O. Langrall, representative
of Roberts Bros.
Besides putting the old building
In first class condition, a shed 50 by
100 feet is to be built at once for the
accommodation of the canning ma
chinery and for a working place for
the big force. On the property are
a number of cedar trees and under
these the peelers will also work in
fair weather. On the trackage avail
able three or four cars can be placed.
The present frame structure will
be used for storage and in boxing and
labeling the cans. The firm will do
business here under the name of the
Amerlcus Canning Company.
Machinery will be started to Amer
lcus from Baltimore within the next
few days, and will arrive in the
course of two or three weeks. The
shipment will include boilers, can
ning'machinery and tin cans. .
The plant will be ready for opera
tion by June 10 and will continue for
five or six weeks, or as long as peach
es are offered In sufficient quantities
to justify keeping open.
Mr. Langrall left last night for
Baltimore, having completed all ar
rangements.
• We are satisfied with the outlook,”
said Mr. Langrall yesterday. "This
is the first year that Amerlcus will
have a large output, and we are right
on the spot to take advantage Of the
opportunity. I was pleased with my
trip through the peach orchards near
Amerlcus. Another year will be even
beter than this first year. We will
turn loose quite a sum for peaches
which could hardly jje utilized In any
other way. We have canneries at
Ft. Valley, but expect to make' our
Amerlcus plant one of the best in the
South. Locating in a large town we
will be able to command labor read
ily, we believe, which Is a great con
sideration. We expect to do a big
business here.”
Everybody thinks he is a great hero
to bear up under his troubles the
way he does.—N. Y. PresB.
FARMER IS KILLED BY
A BOLT OF UGHTNIN6
News reached Amerlcus yesterday
of the killing of a Mr. Andrews, a
prominent former residing north of
Oglethorpe, the evening before by a
lightning bolt Mr. Andrews and two
negro farm hands had taken refuge
from the storm under a tree in the
field. The tree was riven by the
holt and Mr. Andrews and one of the
negroes killed outright, while the
other negro will probably die from
injuries received.
MUST RELIEVE
THE PEACH TREES
Surplus Fruit to be Picked
From Small Trees.
So heavily burdened are the peach
trees of this section with fruit that
it will probably be necessary to
pluck considerable of the small green
fruit from the two and three year old
trees, bo as to save them from dam
age and enable them to produce a
reasonable amount of good fruit of
marketable size and quality.
Naturally It means considerable ex.
pense to go over a large orchard and
eliminate a considerable proportion of
the fruit on the younger trees in this
way, but nature has been so prodigal
with her favors this year that it will
prQbably be necessary to relieve the
branches on many thousands of trees
from their surplus burden.
On the older trees, said a peach
grower yesterday, "this will not be
necessary. As the kernal begins to
harden in the peaches on them ma
ture comes to the relief of the trees
and we have what we call the 'May
drop,’ the trees getting rid of the
surplus fruit by shedding them In that
month. This is a very wise provis
ion, as otherwise the branches would
either be broken down by the too
great weight of the fruit, or the fruit
would 'be poorly developed.”
Seldom are peach trees so overload
ed with fruit as they are In this terri
tory this year. Small branches are
brought to town bearing peaches so
close together that they can hardly
be separated. If all of the peaches
now on the trees could be brought to
maturity the crop would be tremen
clous.

SEABORN TO HEAD
PROHIBITION TICKET
Story Handed Out by llli-
noise Leader. ^
CHICAGO, ILL., April 14.—(Spe
cial.)—Tho Record-Herald says: Sea-
bon Wright of Georgia will be the
nominee of the National Prohibition
part for President of the United States
at the convention' to be held In Co
lumbus, Ohio, July 15.
This was announced yesterday by
Alonzo Wilson, chairman of the Illi
nois Prohibition state committee, who
conferred with the Georgia legisla
tor while the latter was in Chicago a
few days ago.
The prospective nominee has been
a Democrat for many years, for twen
ty years a Democratic member of the
Georgia legislature. It was he who
drafted the Georgia prohibition law
and led the fight which resulted in
Its adoption.
“I am tired of being ruled by Tam
many and the Liberty League of
Chicago,” Is the message which
Wright sent out to the Prohibition
party leaders of the country after his
success in conducting the prohibition
fight In Georgia.
“By that,” said Chairman Wilson,
•Mr. Wright meant that New York and
Chicago rule the Democratic party of
the nation. New York is controlled
by Tammany, the Democrats of Chi
cago are ruled -by the liberty leagues.
Chicago Democrats control Illinois
Democracy. New York Democrats
control the Democracy of the state of
New York, and New York and Illinois
hold the governing power In the na
tional Democratic party.
"Mr. Wright will undoubtedly be
chosen as the nominee of the Prohi
bition party for President of the
United States. He Is a Democrat, a
Prohibition Democrat, and will poll
the largest vote ever polled by a
Prohibition presidential candidate in
the history of tills country.
“His great achievement in the State
of Georgia for the cause of prohibi
tion makes him tho leader of the
party, and his work will be recog
nized by the party.”

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night "and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, wheft un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter Is left In the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms—
pain in the back, headache, rheuma
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir
regular heart debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits In the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filter- right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
M. T. Myers, living at 101 Lamar
street, Amerlcus, Ga., says: “I have
used Doan’s Kidney Pills and have
no hesitancy in recommending them.
They relieved me of a pain in my
back and regulated the action of
my kidneys. I know Doan’s Pills to
be a very reliable remedy and do
not hesitate to endorse them to
others suffering from kidney trouble
in any form, I procured them at
Dodson's Pharmacy.”

MEETS NEXT TIME
IN AMERIGUS
F £. B. Lewis is perhaps the
me.' ■ pular public man before the
p-.- • Jf this State today. A gentle-
n .• j ,rom another congressional dis
trict was in. Cordele some weeks ago
and asked the question: “What makes
Mr. Lewis so popular?" One of the
old timers who was raised in the
neighborhood with Mr. Lewis re
marked: "Well, I have known. Lige
Lewis all of my life: he and I are
near the same age, and there has nev
er been a time in his-life a time that
he wasn't as polite, to a poor man and
as kind to a poor woman as he would
have been to the richest man In the
neighborhood; he didn't have to wait
until he went Into politics to know
how to treat people; besides this he
Is an up-to-date business man and
financier, and the people of this
district want a business man in Con
gress; he is sane, safe, conservative
and able; this sir,” said the old tim
er, "is the secret of his popularity.”
It is a matter of fact that fully
nine out of ten of the people who
have known Mr. Lewis all of his life
feel the same as this man does about
him.—Cordele Rambler.

PEACH GROP IS KILLED
NORTH OF ATLANTA
All
Orchards in Valleys
Wiped Out.
GEN. EVANS A VISITOR
HERE FOR AN HOUR
A prominent visitor in Americus
yesterday, for an hour or two, was
General Clement A. Evans, who was
greeted warmly by many of the Con
federate veterans and other friends
who had the pleasure of meeting him.
General Evans was en route to his
old jiome near Lumpkin, in Stewart
county, where he goes to spend a
few days among the scenes of his
boyhood days, and the friends of anid
lang syne.
A man can get worked up over
any political question unless he un
derstands It—N. Y. Press.
While Americus peach orchards,
big orchards containing trees by the
hundreds of thousands, are in splen
did condition and promise an abun
dant yield, the orchards of north
Georgia are in bad condition as the
result of the recent cold there, the
valley orchards being severely in
jured, if not killed outright
All of the peach crop in the valley
lands of Northern Georgia has been
killed by the cold of the past ten
days. There is hardly a peach left
and this constitutes 20 per cent of
the peach crop In the area named. The
crop on the hillsides and mountains
la not damaged.
Such is the opinion of State Euto-
molgtst E. L. Worsham, as given out
yesterday to the press.
This condition prevails in North
east Georgia, and to my own knowl
edge in Northwest Georgia as far up
as Dalton. Of course there wil be
plenty of fruit left, but the man with
only valley orchards suffers com
plete loss. The crop Bouth of Atlan
ta has not been damaged.
Within the week, cool nights have
prevailed, and In the section north
of Atlanta there were heavy frost
formations !n lowlands.
Curiously enough, now that the
peach crop of South Georgia is con
sidered safe, almost beyond a doubt,
the peach growers are complaining
at the prospect of low prices.
So thick is the young fruit on the
trees that it is already bending the
branches, though the peaches are not
I larger than small marbles. The trees,
as a rule, hare more fruit than they
ca npoeslbly carry to maturity, and
much of it will have to be pulled off to
lighten them.'
It is considered that the danger
point has been passed so far as frost
is concerned, and the next danger
point is the questlou of marketing the
crop successfully.
It is said the only thing that could
materially affect the South Georgia
crop now is excessive rains) which
would cause tho fruit to rot on the
trees.
To overcome the prospect of low
prices which stares the growers In
the face It has been suggested -that
they deceive upon some plan
for advantageous marketing of the
crop. One suggestion is that only
high class fruit be shipped, the culls
being turned over to canneries.
A system of marketing which will
prevent the glutting of any particular
market Is also under consideration.
But there is no doubt about the
fact that the fruit growers have
escaped from one problem only to be
confronted by another and not of any
mean proportions, either.
