ANOTHER INDUSTRY
ASSURED AMERICAS.
Company to Organize With Ample
Capital
TO ESTABLISH A BIG INDUSTRY.
De Soto Fruit, Agricultural and
Manufacturing Co.-W1Il Raise
Fruits, Can Same For Market and
Build Factories Here.

The Times-Recorder yesterday pub
lished the application for charter of
the ''De Soto Fruit, Agricultural and
Manufacturing Company which pro-
poses to add another to our list of in
dustries and do much towards the de-
Yelopment of the county's agricultural
resources.
The company will have a capital
stock of 100000 with privilege of in
creasing same to 100000.
The incorporators are Messrs. g. B.
Duffey, of Worcester, Mass, T, B.
clement, of Fairbault, Mimi, Fl. o.
Clement, of Moultrie, Ca, Charles e.
Smith and E. L. Smith, of De Soto,
and Judge Joseph A. AnsIey, OF
Americus, Ga.
The business of the proposed COM
panY will be the raising of fruits and
vegetables on very large scale, and
the erection and operation of a eau
ming factory at Americus, wherein the
surplus of the vegetable farms and or.
chards will be canned for market.
It is just such an enterprise as
Americas has long needed.
But aside from raising fruits and
fruit trees, and canning, the company
proposes to launch forth upon a more
extended scale.
1t is the intention of the incorpora-
tors, as set forth IN the petition for
charter, to erect a cotton factory and
an oil mill as we'll. And in this or
ganization may be solved the problem,
long confronting Americus, of secur-
ing that big cotton factory.
A cotton warehouse is likewise con-
templated, and the company will do a
large business IN the handling of cot
ton and the manufacture and sale of
fertilizers.
And this oil mill will stay out of the
trust, too, most likely.
Several of the incorporators are men
of considerable wealth, it is said, ana
have had experience in the line of
business they propose to follow here.
They will invest largely in Sumter
comfy, and will do much for the de-
velopment of this section.
The Times Recorder halls with
pleasure the prospect of such valua-
BILE industry here.

EGAN BOUGHT STONE BALLAST.
Mended His Road and Helped the
Farmers.

1.-The railroad officers of Georgia were
the topic of discussion yesterday in 6
group of prominent Atlanta men in
the Kimball House, says the Atlantis
Constitution of yesterday.
DO You know, said one of them,
4 have never known a railroad man
more welded to the interests of his
road and patrons of it as President
John M. Egan of the Central of Geor.
gia Railway Company? He is always
on the alert for some plan by which
the road and its patrons will be bene.
fted.'
"As an illustration of this he quoted
the following example:
" The road, he began, 'is constant
ly in need of ballast here and there
along its bed, rock, of course, being
preferred for the purpose.
In one of his trips over the road Mr..
Egan Fsaw the need of ballast at Ger.
tain point, and the thought occurred
to him that by offering to pay the
jewellers along the route for hauling
rock from their farms to the track he
not only would secure the always nee.
essary ballast, but would put the far
mers in the way of making extra mon
ey from time to time.
''The offer was made to the farmers
to pay so much per cubic foot for rock
hauled from their land and piled UP
beside the rails.
The result was that rainy days and
days when crops were idle were de-
voted to gathering up these stones by
many of the farmers who live near the
Centrals route and taking them to the
tracks, where they were piled up,
measured and the farmers paid. This
is the explanation of many huge piles
of rocks standing along the Central
tracks between Atlanta and Savannah.
''Mr. Egan's plan served a threefold
purpose; it got the ballast for the road,
gave the farmer employment and i'm
proved the farms by removing the
stones that clog the earth. This is but
one of the many unique, and always
effective plans that has sprung from
the mind of the Centrals chief execu.
tive"
