UTILE CITY Til BUILD
A GREAT COTTON MILL
Amerlcus is several times greater
than Claxton, a plucky little town or
the Seaboard Railway to the cast of
us. but Claxton has more hustle, In
one respect and will soon have a big
cotton mill capitalized at *100,000. One
of Claxton'a citizens has recently se- 1
cared an option on about forty acres'
of land in West Claxton between the
Seaboard Air Une and R. and G.
railways for the location of the fac
tory. He Bays he is acting for North
Georgia capitalists and the mill will
be built. He expects the promoters
to arrive In a few days to look over
the site and complete the deal.
The asaured Increase in the convict
force here two weeks hence, when
thirty felony convicts will come to
Sumter county April 1 as Its pro
rata from the State, renders necessary
an increase In road equipment, camp
outfit and the purchase of additional
mules.
And the county commissioners are
busy to that end.
Twenty or twenty-five more mules
will be needed, besides wagons and
camp equipment, which must be
bought. i
Commissioners Bolton and Webb,
acting as a purchasing committee, sue- 1
ceeded yesterday In securing twelve*
good mules, and are In the market for
a dozen others. The county will then
own about 95 mules, having 70 now.
A hundred mules. In round numbers-
and a hundred convicts, means that
Sumter county Is going In for road
Improvement.
Bny Equipment at Albany
learning that Cruger ft Pace, con
vict lesaees at Albany, would sell a
number of good mules Commissioners
Bolton and Webb went there and made
extensive purchases, buying a dozen
mules, six wagons, besides a complete
outfit of kitchen camp furniture.
Three carloads of hay was also In
cluded In the purchase.
The twelve mules bought are strong,
serviceable animals and already well
fitted for the work required on the
roads of Sumter.
This number gives the county
total of elghty-two good mules, but
others still ore needed and the com-
mlisteners will buy another dozen
next Tuesday if they are to be had
here, otherwise the committee will go
to Atlanta to buy.
Equipment of every kind will be
ready for the additional force of thirty
convicts, which will he sent to Sum
ter In April.
Must Clothe the Convicts.
When the convict lessee turn felony
prisoners over to various counties for
road work under the new law on
April I, the latter must be fully
clothed in new suite of stripes, hate
and shoes. Instructions to this ef
fect have been given by the prison
commission.
The Instructions were called forth
by the stand taken by contractors to
the effect that they were not due to
deliver any clothing when they deliver
tbelr convicts, unices said clothing
was paid for.
You had better bring clothes
along,” wrote one firm of lessee ■ -hr'
words to that effect, to the county of
ficials who are to take their men. "for
when our contracts expire, we Intend
stripping the men of clothes anil
turning them over to you without a
stitch."

Spring Millinery
I announce to the ladles of Amerlcus and vicinity that I have opened a
tlrst-claae, modern and up-to-date millinery business on Umar street, noxt
door to Neon BucbananSs. Sly lines of hats and millinery are the hand
somest ever shown In Amerlcus. and prices are most reasonable.
I >vlll have my spring opening on Wednesday, March 2-ith, and 'nvlta
all thr ladles to attend.
At recent prevailing prices, nine
cents, the cotton stocks In Amerlcus
warehouses have been greatly deplet
ed and comparatively little is now up- 1
on the local market. And the same
conditions exist in other towns In the
Amerlcus territory. Reports from the
surrounding country Indicate that cot
ton has been sold up closer this year
than ever before, the result being that
there Is very little left in the country
around. A few of the more Independ
ent farmers have a few bales, but as
a general thing there Is very little left.
