The Nlacon Telegraph In its Sunday
Issue carried a long story of the
growth and prosperity of Americus
and Sumter county. Tills information
was especially requested by the Tele
graph. It was supplied by Mr.
Moran, of the Tlmes-Itecordcr’s staff.
The story is as follows:
Americus—many industrial and
building activities have featured dc
velopment In Americus and Sumter
county so far this year, and prospects
are bright for a continuation ot the
excellent conditions now being enjoy-
Amcrlcus is tile heart of an es
scntiully agricultural country, and Its
■••hole prosperity Is based upon this In
dustry. Duiling the past year tlieio
has been organized here the Farm
Produhts Company of which J. Ralston
Cargill la manager, and other officers
are prominent business men, the stock
being owned principally by local
wholesale distributors of the products
manufactured. This concern bas al
ready proven a potent factor In agrt
cultural development, besides adding
a substantial sum to the weekly pay-
rool of the city.
Another industrial development In
volving the oxpendlture of approx
imately $60,000 in this community is
the Installation of duplicate machinery
by the Americus Lighting Company,
and improvements which are now un
der way In their gas plant Superin
tendent Joseph A. Johnson states that
when the improvements are com
pleted, Amorlcug will have a plant
sufficient for all local needs during
years to come, the company having
Installed machinery sufficient to sup
ply current to numerous small Indus
tries which will undoubtedly spring
up here. Electric power is used in
Americus by many small concerns, the
rafe here for Industrial purposes be
ing unusually low.
Streets Are Paved.
Under the administration of Mayor
I. G. Council, Loe street, the principal
thoroughfare of Americus, has been
paved with concrete practically Its
entire length, and portions of Church
Taylor and Brown streets havo also
been paved with this material. The
work was commenced Just a year ago,
and all of the paving projects except
one are now complete.
Twelve thousand dollars was ex
pended by . the Central railroad in the
construction of the passenger depot
at Americus, and the Seabonrd Air
Line, seized with the same Bplrit of
progressiveness, erected a handsome
train shed, and added much needed
facilities to Its passenger terminals at
The Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical College of which J. M. Col
lum Is spcrlntcndeut, and Crawfonf
Wheatley, treasurer, has added anoth
er handsome building to those already
standing upon its campus, at a cost u
$40,000. This structure, known as the
administration building, replaces an
old building destroyed several months
ago. it was built partly with funds
appropriated by the legislature of
of Americus. These buildings were
used during the winter season by a
circus which wintered here, and in
cidentally distributed about $100,000
through its employyes In this commun
ity. Next year these buildings will
house the first great district fair to
be given here.
One of the handsomest business
buildings erected In Americus this
year Is the Itylander building on west
Lamar street. This structure of brick
and steel is three stories high, and
adapted to the uses of a modern gar
age. Arthur Itylander, president of
the Americus Automobile Company,
gave the contract for this building.
About $75,000 is invested In this struc
ture, which Is modern In all it a der
tails, and its handsome appearance la
frequently commented upon hundreds
of tourists who visit this town.
Another municipal improvement in
stalled during the year was the Game-
well Are alarm system, which has Just
been completed and the additon of a
combination motor chemical engine
and truck to the Americus Flro Pc-
parment.
H'hurchcs Are Improved.
Central Baptist church, of whicn
Rev. George F. Brown is pastor, has
been completely rebuilt, and a new
pipe organ installed at a coat
twenty-five thousand dollars, whte
Lee Street Methodist church installed
a handsome new pipe organ costing
approximately $5,000. Calvary Eplco-
pal church, of which Rev. James B.
Lawrence is pastor, has determined
to erect a new edifice on their Leo
street lot, and already much of the
building material has been placed on
the ground. This structure when
completed will represent an invest
ment of $15,000.
Real estate has been active, and

the raising of live stock. G. O. Mar
shall. who is directing the demonstra
tion work in this county, has secured
(orders for a solid carload of Perch
eron mares, which will be brought
1 here and distributed among Sumter
farmers for breeding purposes. Al
ready there are three or four stallions
of thi s breed in the county. These
sturdy animals thrive exceedingly well
in this section. W. G. Turpin & Co.
have recently gone into the livestock
business, and are encouraging the
raising of blooded animals here. Half
a dozen carloads of Hereford heifers
have been sold by them.
Farmers sold much cotton this fall
which they held during two years,
receiving good prices. They have not
only paid off practically all of their
debts, but have invested largely H
sales at $81 a ton were recorded.
The Arles plantattion, the “show
