TROOPS TO LEAVE

AMERICUS AGAIN
A BASING POINT
Board of Trade Wins Fer
tilizer Fight.
Vigorous efforts on behalf of the
Board of Trade to have Americus re-
instated as a basing poinf in the fer
tilizer world, were yesterday crowned
with success. The raise which has
been made will, be rescinded, and the
former schedule will be restored in
a few day's.
This most welcomed Information
was conveyed in a telegram from the
Atlanta office of the Vlrgtnia-Carollna
Chemical Company, and received yes
terday afternoon by the Board of
Trade. Thus has been, saved to the
farmers of Sumter and adjoining
counties more than $10,000. The
credit of this coup belongs solely to
the Board of Trade, which started the
movement'for a reduction and carried
It to a successful conclusion.
Last Thursday night the matter of
an Increase In price for fertilizers
Was brought before the Board of
Trade. Americus has been for many
years a basing (Mint, but this year the
fertilizer companies had decided to
withdraw this rating, and put Amer
icus on a different basis ag a shipping
point, which would Increase the cost
of fertilizers to planters many thous
ands of dollars.
As soon Ss the situation was stated,
the fight was taken up. A committee
consisting of President Allen and
Messrs. Josey and Carter were ap
pointed to formulate a protest. On
Monday these protests were mailed to
representatives of the leading com
panies represented here. ‘ ’
In the meantime Pres. Allen en
listed the services of Hon. T. Q. Hud
son, an Americus man, and Col. Hud
son readily agreed to render all laid
possible to the Board of Trade. His
efforts were also weighty and con
tributed to the speedy solution of
the difficulty,
Sumter county farmers will doubt
less appreciate the effective work of
the Board of Trade, In fighting a bat
tle which was largely for their bene
fit, and saving them from an Increase
In expenses which would have fallen
heavily on them.
The following Is the message re
ceived and which tells the glad tid
ings:
Board of Trade, Americus, Ga.
After consulting with Mr. T. O. Hud
son In Teference to Americus being
reinstated as a basing point, we have
consulted with other manufacturers
at interest and they all readily agree
to the proposition and Americus will
be restored to Its former position on
Jan. 1, and will be used as a basing
