Irving Brady came up yesterday
from Sanford, Fla., to spend a few
days with relatives in Americas, his
boyhood home and which he loves
best—next to Sanford. Mr, Brady
was raised up here on a thousand
acre cotton plantation, but he now
lives on a thirteen acre "truck patch”
which yields more money. His prin
cipal crops are early, lettuce and
tomatoes, and from these he is realiz
ing rich results. On six acres of
celery he has already sold six thou
sand crates, supplying the Americus
market to a large extent, among
others. It costs about $350 per acre
to market his celery crop, Mr. Brady
says, but as it nets him $1.75 to $2.50
per crate, with 1,000 crates per acre
the average yield, the amount of
profit is evident. Then he gets four
crops a year from the same land,
rotated in celery, lettuce, tomatoes and
hay. His tomato crop Is now. being
marketed and will pay handsomely
as did the others.
Nothing adds so much to
the attractiveness of a pretty
home as does pretty matting,
and the season approaches
when the sitting room, the
parlor and sleeping rooms as
well should be given their
new spiring dressing. From
the standpoint of attractive
ness and sanitation, nothing
equals matting as a floor cov-

Local Officials Make Valu-
ble Suggestions.,
COMES TO AMERICUS IN
CUSTODY OF OFFICER
Arrested on Warrant Charg
ing Forgery.
As the result of a conference yes
terday between J. E. Hightower, of
the Central of Georgia ;■ H. P. Ever
ett, of the Seaboard, and J. M. Tobin,
local manager for the Atlantic Com
press Company, an unanimous decis
ion was reached as to the best meth
od for marking cotton. The conclus
ions reached will be forwarded to
Atlanta, and, along with suggestions
from a number of cotton shipping
points, will be submitted to a Joint
conference of railroad and compress
men to be held at a date and place to
be fixed later.
At yesterday’s meeting the views of
a number of railroad and compress
men\werc at hand, and in some in
stance met the full approval of the
three gentlemen named. But a most
important amendment was suggested,
and one which, from the standpoint of
a layman, would seem to be likely to
be adopted.
The trouble sought to be remedied
is that arising from the losses of
bales of cotton from consignments,
usually by the tearing -away of the
mark, or by its becoming illegible
from abrasion. Railroads handling
cotton have been very much annoyed
in the past, a lot of cotton checking
up short in one shipment, while an
other would show a surplus. The
marks being illegible, the extra cot
ton was placed in the "old hosssale”
by the road holding it, while the
road which first handled the ship
ment was forced to make good the
lost bale or bales.
To remedy this trouble; which 1b
widespread and expensive during the
season, at some conferences already
held at other points similar .to that of
yesterday, it has been suggested that
a Btrlp of cloth be attached to the
bale extending the full length, and
held by each tie. On this strip it is
proposed to place the mark, shipper
and destination sixteen times. Thus
as long as even one tie remained on
the bale there would be at least one
direction. These strips can be printed
very rapidly.
But the conference yesterday went
a step farther, the suggesion being
made that each compress be number
ed, and that this number be stamped
sixteen times on, the strip of cloth.
This number would enable the agent
to Instantly ascertain the compress
at which the bale was first handled.
The agent could then wire the com
press of the surplus bale, or bales,
and the compress could then Inform
him it the bale had been billed, and
to what point. It could then be re-
billed to Its proper destination. Or
in case the bale had strayed into a
shipment, it could bp returned to
the compress or held for instructions.
It was the belief of the gentlemen
at the conference that this compress
number would greatly facilitate the
indeutification and disposal of any
surplus bales. The other points cov
ered at similar meetings were heart
ily endorsed, but the recommendation
named will be sent in for considera
tion. ,

Epigrams From Joe Brown
That Brown still leads Smith in
Sumter and this section is reflected
daily in the poll of any casual gath
ering of voters. Approach any par
ty of a half dozen, or a dozen, voters
In Americus, in office, store or upon
the business streets and three-furths
of the,number, if not even a still
greater percentage, will be outspoken
for Brown. An Americus man return
ing from Cordele yesterday reported
here a poll of the train on tho trip
down to Cordele the afternoon be
fore. There were twenty-tour voters
abroad, and a poll of these showed 21
for Brown and three tor Smith. If
this ratio is maintained until election
