a BETTER PRICE FOR COTTON
Is Assured IF Our Farmers Will Only
Organize.

What interests the farmers of Sum
ter county and merchants of Americus
more than anything else just now is
the price the growing crop of cotton
will bring next fall.
It is q question of vital Importance to
all classes of our people.
In union there is strength, and o
united effort upon the part of oar far
mers, merchants and bankers, as rro-
posed by the Cotton Growers Protect
i've Association, will come nearer at
tanning the desired end than anything
that has yet been suggested upon this
important line.
But how can it best be done? What
must the farmers and merchants do to
protect themselves?
In the main, by leniency shown the
farmer IN the handling and sale of his
cotton, that it may not be dumped up
on the market at once and gobbled up
by greedy foreign spinners.
Plans to this end have already been
outlined and meet with universal ia
vor among merchants and bankers.
And these plans will be explained in
full to our farmers who may not under
stand them thoroughly at public
meeting to be held here on goth.
The meeting will be addressed by
President Pope Brown, of the State
Agricultural Society, and President
Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton
Growers Protective Association.
AS announced in the Tlmes-Record-
er last week, these gentlemen have
been invited to address the farmers of
this section at Americas on July Goth,
and have accepted. They will then
explain fully the plans suggested for
the advantageous sale of our cotton
crop.
And every farmer is cordially invited
to come and hear them
This movement is important to every
business interest, and the time to or
ganize is while cotton is bringing a
good figure, when it is easier to regu-
late things than TO wait until another
big crop is made and a period of lower
prices sets IN.

When some of the engines now in

again they will scarcely be recognized
in their beautiful new dress of paint

in immense figures on the tender,
while upon the flange just above is the

sHOT CRAPs FOR RIPE MELON.
Spirited Game With the Bones Play
ed Yesterday.

Perhaps the most intensely interest
ing and exciting game of craps eyer
played in Americus was that between
four negro bone tossers yesterday,
with a juicy watermelon for a stake.
Four nickels were thus invested and
the melon split open that the tempt
ing sight might inspire the players to
greater efforts. The face of each was
study in black as he rolled the dice
and counted the result, and Mckinley
& Co, never displayed more intense
anxiety over the Chinese question.
When the game ended the winner buri-
ed his face in one half of the melon
while wrapping both arms about the
remaining half to thorn off, the less
lucky players.

Oscar Bivins has never read the sto-

FOUND MILLIONS OF PEACHES.
President Egan of Central Says Crop
is Abundant.


Nearly carload of peaches grown in
the vicinity of Americas went forward
yesterday via the Central. In fact, the
best Elbertas are just coming to
market. and many fine specimens were
shown here yesterday. At shipping
points above Americas the season will
reach it's height this week. President
John M. Egan, of the Central Railroad,
who was in Americus last Saturday
looking after the fruit crop along this
line of road, has just returned to Sa-
vannah. He says the damage from
rains has been overestimated and that
there will be literally millions of bask-
cts of Georgia Elbertas marketed. The
climax of the season will be reached
during the pr esent week. Daily ship
ments now number upwards of eighty
carloads over the Central. On this line
there are now more than 2,100, 900
peach trees in bearing, many of them
loaded with fruit till the limbs are al
most breaking. In addition there are
100000 plum trees bearing finer plums
than those of California. Half mill
lion new peach trees were planted this
year and will become producers two
years hence.
