S. C. Parrott to Succeed
Pres. Hanson.
It was known In Americus several
days ago that Mr. Sam C. Parrott bad
succeeded President C. O. Hanson of
the Atlantic Compress Co., but not
until yesterday was the announce
ment made from Atlanta, hcadquar-
ters of the company.
President Hanson was recently ap-
liointed receiver for the Gulf Com
press Co., and this fact may have had
something to do with his retirement
from the Atlantic Co
The latter company operates the
Americus compress, under lease, and
Its affairs are of Interest In local
cotton circles.
The Atlantic company Is one of the
best known organizations of Its kind
in the south. It operates through
Georgia and Alabama. Mr. Hanson
had been president of It since Its
formation which occurred In 1902.
The change by which Mr. Parrott
succeeded Mr. Hanson became effec
tive June 23. The former Is now In
fulll charge of the company.
Few southern men are better
known than Mr. Parrptt. He has al
ways taken a prominent part In de
velopment of every sort. He, togeth
er with Ills brother, Geo. S.’Parrott,
and Governor Hoke Smith, built the
Piedmont hotel.

RACE TIPSTERS
BARRED FROM MAILS
Staggering Blow Delt by
Postoffice.
New York, June 27.—(Special)—
"Within the last few days the postal
authorities have dealt a hard blow
lo tlie professional race horse tipsters,
who fur years have been reaping
golden harvest from the credulous
thousands who have been gullible
enough to pay their money for what
has been advertised as "sure" winner
tips". Most of them have been put
out of business. A few are still hang
ing on, staggering against the greatest
handicap which could have been given
them—a denial of the use of the
mails.
Fifty fraud orders have been Is
sued, and fifty names of well-known
tipsters have been posted on the
blacklist of the PoBt Office Depart
ment. Hundreds of thousands of
letters addressed to these tipsters
have been seized, and the best known
notified that they can never again
use the malls. One tipster has gone
to jail, and most of the others are
casting about for other lines of
work.
Tipsters Heaped Harvest
There is no set of men Identified
with horse racing who have reaped
richer harvest than these professional
tipsters. For many years they oper
ated undisturbed. Their system was
simple enough. It consisted of ad
vertising In Borne of the sporting
newspapers that they could give
a tip on a “sure winner” In one of
the races for the day. The price
charged for the Information ranged
all the way from $1 to $5.
Th patrons of these men numbered
tens of thousands. They bad few
steady patrons, for the so-called In
formation they sold was not of a na
ture to Inspire continued confidence.
But their advertising was alluring—
very. High-priced writers were em
ployed to compose advertisements to
attract the "pltcers."
Although the general plan of ad
vertising was the same with all the
men engaged In the tipping game
their Individual methods varied. Some
of the tipsters said they had a handi
capping bureau, “the most expensive
in the. world,” through which they
were in a position Invariably to pick
the winner of a race in advance.
Others said in their advertisements
that they had a system of beating the
bookmakers which could not fall, and
all that was necessary was for the
reader to send la by mall.
Sample “Ad”
Here is a sample of the advertise
ments used to catch suckers: .

They advise the prospective purchaser
of their tips to send money by mes
senger or telegraph It at the expense
of the tipster. It is expensive, this
telegraphing money, but it Is the only
way they have left.

Through smoked glasses hundreds
of residents of Americus watched the
eclipse, taking observations from
time to time. While an annular eclipse
is no rarity, the one of Sunday was
visable In Americus more consplc-
ulously than any for years.
Besides the eclipse, astronomers
were interested In the fact that Mer-
cury, Venus, Mars, Neputune and
Jupiter were visible, nestling closely
together In the west shortly after sun
set. This grouping will not occur
again in hundreds of years. The star
Arcturus was also under observation,
that star having been coming directly
towards the earth for ages at the rate
of more than 300,001) miles a second.
PRETTY GIRLS PACK
CRATES OF ELBERTAS
Busy Scene at Big Orchard
Here.
The city will make addition to
present waterworks equipment
once in the purchase of a new
compressor at a cost of $2,550,
city to be re-lmbursed therefor when
Its contract with the Americus Rail
way and Light Co., shall begin.
Such was the action of the City
Council at a special meeting called
yesterday morning
Contract for the new air compressor
has been made with the Ingersoll
Rand Co., through Its representative
here, and it will be installed within
ten to fifteen days.
This action upon the part of the
City Council provides against any
emergency, and Insures an abun
dant water supply. At the same time
the city gets the use of the new air
compressor for Indefinite, time, and
at practically no cost.
While the city makes the purchase,
when the machine la sold after the
Installation of the new wtaerworks
system the company pays to the city
the amount of difference In the cost
and sale price.
The city, therefore, will be at little
If any expense whatever in the pur
chase of the machine.
The new compressor is an absolute
and Immediate necessity, as the old
one now used In pumping the city's
water supply may fail at any hour.
The council took this fact Into consid
eration In making the new purchase
yesterday.
Should the old machine fall today
the situation would be most Bertous,
but It Is hoped that It will work for a
while longer.
At least until the new machine Is
Installed.
With the new machine the water
supply will again be sufficient for all
purposes, and when the Railway and
Light Co., installs Its new electric
system a few months hence the com
pressor just purchased can still be
sold for a good price.
And the difference will be made
£ood to the city by the company hav
ing the water pumping contract.
Along with the coming of the
Fourth, parents are worried over
the possibilities of fatalities from
the use of fireworks and firearms,
When It Is stated that 732 death have
occurred in the last five years
this country from Injuries following
the explosion of blank cartridges only,
the magnitude of the danger Is seen.
Tetanus, or ps It Is more commonly
known, lockjaw, Is generally due to
powder burns. The disease is catsed
by a bacillus or germ that exists abun
dantly in street dirt, especially In
and around stables. As long as
is exposed to the air the germs are
Inactive, but when forced under the
skin or burled In the flesh, as -In the
wounds from percussion caps, blank
cartridges, rusty nails, and the like,
thus excluding the air, the germ
gets busy and the most virulent poison
known Is produced, resulting In lock
jaw.
iWounds of the kind named should
be thoroughly cleansed at once and
given prompt attention by a physi
cian.
"While the fireworks are not such a
feature on the Fourth as In more
northern states, there is always a good
deal of the use of firearms, both of
the blank and real cartridge variety.
Especially In the former is there op
portunity for the deadly tetanus to

‘‘Peach versus peach" is the battle
merrily waged' this week out at the
big packing house of the Bagley or
chard, where nimble fingers of dain
ty maidens are defty packing the
rich, golden fruit into crates for
shipment, and doing It to perfection.
The scene Is a novel one here
where peaches are being shipped the
first season, and the pretty girls
are enjoying it to the utmost.
Their services were needed, and
they were equal to the emergency.
The company wanted scores
girls to pack the small baskets and
crates. The work Is pleasant
well as profitable, and representatives
of the social set are as busy at the
packing house today as ever at
card party,
Monday several farm wagons
were sent in by previous agreement,
and a full score of pretty girls went
out to the orchard where they were
put to work amid the great piles of
luscious Elbertaa placed In the pock
ing house and awaiting them.
As fair and luscious as the juiciest
of peaches, the pretty packers went
merrily at It.
With deft fingers they neatly pack
the carriers, six to the crate, and
when one is filled up (the crate, not
the girl) It la an object of admiration
Indeed. The company pays them well
and many pretty maidens will thus
make pin money.
Those who went out yesterday were
well pleased with their task, and early
this morning many other pretty pack
ers will go out In the company's wa
gons.

New York, June 29.—(Special)—An
Insight into the policy of secrecy
maintaining by the Standard Oil
Company and its many subsidiaries
In the various branches of the busi
ness was gained yesterday by Frank
B. Kellogg, the Government’s law
yer, In the suit seeking to dissolve the
Standard under the Sherman anti
trust law.
It came out during the testimony
before Special Examiner Franklin
Ferriss in the Custom House that
some of the secrets of the Standard
are guarded even from Its own most
trusted employes, and that remarka
ble means of protection are used to
conceal certain secrets from the men
whose duties are closely allied to
the departments in which the secrets
exist
One secret In question developed
yesterday was the method of concot-
Ing the lubricating oil made by the
Galena-Signal Company. C. C. Stein-
brenner, general manager of the
Galena, was taken In hand by Mr.
Kellogg In an effort to learn how
Galena-Signal oils are made.
"I do not know how the oils are
made,” said Mr. Stelnbrenner. “It
Is a secret process. We are never
allowed to enter the compounding de
partment at Franklin, Penn.”
Mr. Stelnbrenner said that the
secret of the compound was known
to George C. Miller, a nephew of the
Galena-Signal’s President, Gen. Char,
les Miller, and that no one was al
lowed to know tho secret prepara
tion.
"It Is an absolute secret,” he said.
Mr. Kellogg then asked Mr, Stein,
brenner how much crude oil was
used In the manufacture of the Gal
ena’s yearly output of 600,000 bar
rels of oil.
“I do not know,” said Mr. Steinbren-
ner.
"Well, you have been a pretty good
guesser alt along as to your com
pany's affairs suppose you guess now,'
suggested Mr. Kellogg.
But before the witness could ans

sel for the Standard, Interrupted, and
