E-68 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.
