.RUMOR IS RIFE AS
TO THAT new MILL,

MANY REPORTS UPON SUBJECT

Proposes to Enter This Field and
viii Build Large Plant In Amerlcus.
Ground Option Is Secured.

If Americas does not have a second
large fertilizer plant here at no distant
day there is nothing in the signs of
the times. Two weeks ago the Times
Recorder announced that representa-
tive of the Armour Fertilizer Works
had bought options upon large and
valuable tract of land here, and this
with the view of building a factory.
Since that time the report has been
neither denied or affirmed, but indica-
tions quite recently point directly to
the correctness of the rumor. A large
manufacturer of builders supplies, IN
Americus yesterday, stated that he
was given positive assurance in Allan
ia the day before that this company
had fully determined to locate q large
plant in Americas. The building site
upon which an option is now held is on
the Seaboard Railway, just beyond the
shops, and is finely adapted to manu-
featuring purposes. 1t would not be a
matter of surprise if The TlmesRe-
order is authorized very soon to make
the positive statement that the Armour
Fertilizer Works will erect a nam

COAL TO ADVANTAGE.
Best Method For Using Fuel and Con-
Stunning Smoke.

Amerlcus people who, since the
strike ended will burn coal instead of
sitting in the sun to keep warm should,
nevertheless, use this fuel to the best
advantage and get the most good for
their money. An expert here declares
that If users of soft coal will follow
these directions they will burn more
smoke and less coal for a given amout
of heat. Never throw fresh coal on a
live fire; push the live fire back and
drop the fresh coal in front, a few shov-
elfuls at time. This is the principle
that all successful stokers work on. 1t
Will cost nothing to try it.

Mon Adams Made Attempt to Get a
Knife.
Monroe Adams, the double murderer
confined in the Americus Jail for shoot
ing down his wife and daughter in
cold blood, will have to exercise great
shrewdness if he eludes the vigilance
of Sheriff Bell and Deputy Gatewood
and jabs knife blade into his jugular.
Adams is desperate character, and the
belief obtains that he will take his life
if an opportunity is given him. Several
times recently he has attempted to get
a knife on the pretext of sharpening
pencil which, when examined by Sher-
if Bel, had a needle point already.
Adams, it is said, fully believes that
he is going to be hanged, and might
cheat the gallows if he could.
