INTEREST IN THE ENCAMPMENT
Americas Will Put Forth Effort to
Get It.

The fact that the Fourth Regiment
is to go into camp at some point in
this immediate section, as announced
in Sundays Times Recorder, creates
considerable local interest and, In all
probability, Americus will make a
strong effort to induce the military au-
thorities to locate the camp here. Ex-
cellent grounds and all the necessary ia
cilities will be provided. It is an
end to be desired, and a united and de-
termined effort to secure the encamp-
ment should be made. 1t would GER
tainly instill new life into the commu-
nifty and be source of much social
pleasure besides.

FARMERS BUSY WORKING NOW
Preparations For Another Crop Are
Being Made.

Mighty few farmers came to Ameri-
Gus Yesterday and a majority of them
will be conspicuous by their absence
for some time now, Beautiful wealth
or facilitates work on plantations, and
this is going forward at great rate.
Farmers are having no trouble what
ever in securing all the labor needed,
but this does not mean that there will
be any increase this year in the acreage
as compared with last year. The un-
usually high price of provisions, with
the rather low price paid for cotton
this season, will cause the farmers to
exercise great caution in laying out
their cotton crop,

MIX ARTEsIAN AND PETROLEUM
Albany Is Elated at Discovery of Oil
There.

Americus' enterprising neighbor,
Albany, is naturally eIated just now
over the opinion of the state chemist
which declares the liquid flowing from
one of her new wells to be petroleum.
The we'll was bored for water, but this
is strongly impregnated with oil and
the Albanians are beside themselves
with joy, as well they may be. The
we'll is now nearly thousand feet in
depth and will be carried down sever
al hundred feet further if necessary.
The city authorities are after water
and not oil, but if the we'll now being
bored does not solve the oil question
finally, it is highly probable that a
stock company will be organized to
sink another we'll in quest of the pc
troleum of which so abundant traces
have been found.
