There is a division of sentiment as

with Robbins at the time of the shoot

The defense attempted to prove that
from the distance where it was alleged

shots were fired, that 1t would have
been impossible to identify anybody.

be secured asking the Governor to com

COMMITTEE HAS
MADE DECISION.
Gives Macon The State Fair
Again.
LET SUMTER MAKE AN EXHIBIT
Executive Committee Met Yesterday
and After Full Deliberation Voted for
Macon as the Place for Holding
State Fair Next Fall.

Americus congratulates Macon and
the state at large upon the fact that the
State Fair this year Will again be held
in that city; Georgia's Central City"
in fact, and eminently the place for her
annual exhibitions. Such was the de-
cislon of the executive committee yes
t9rday.
And that it will meet with enthusi-
astic approval throughout the state
goes without the saying.
Capt. John A. Cobb returned to
Americus yesterday from Macon, where
he attended the meeting of the execu.
tive committee of the State Fair Asso-
citation which has just made the award
of the fair,
While Captain Cobb is quite enthus-
iastio at the prospect for the next fair,
he belle 'es that it will even surpass
in completeness and general magnIfi-
cence the occasion of last year, which
was by long odds the biggest and best
state fair that Georgia has ever Wit
messed.
And Macon did as much to make it q
success as did all other agencies COM
bined
Her citizens entered with greatest
enthusiasm into the enterprise, giving
their time, money and energies towards
making it a success, and the result was
a truly magnificent exposition of Geor-
gia's resources and products, such as
had never before been put together.
And what Macon did upon that oc-
casion she will do again, and have the
cooperation of the entire state. This
promises to be year of greatest pros
perity with the farmers, and they will
make a grand display in Macon next
fall of products of the farm.
Let Sumter county fall in line early
with the other counties making special
exhibits.

SELLING THEM BY TRAINLoADs.
Creosote Mills Want All They Can
Procure And VIII Pay Good Prices.
Americus Should Utilize And Not
Ship Pineknots Away

The man who heretofore has brought
wagon load OF pineknots to Americus
and sold them for dollar as fuel can
soon sell the same commodity by
weight and command a higher price
for it. For, be it said, pineknots are
going to be pineknots.
And this fact is brought forclbly to
the front in the establishment of creo-
sote mills in this section of the state,
an enterprise the Times-Recorder
hopes Will be established here.
But in the meanwhile other markets
are after all our pineknots.-
Cotton fields hereabout which now
abound in fat pine stumps have an in
creased value, for the mills have an
eye upon all of them and will pay high
prices. Already agents are coming
this way for the purpose of buying
these pine stumps by the carload.
And the price offered is SO per ton
delivered aboard the cars.
There are thousands of tons of fat
pine stumps here, and the man who
will Dig them up for creosote mills can
make more money than in planting
cotton even at 1917 cents.
The half dozen mills in south Geor-
gia u;il 70 these fat pine stumps in
making high grade turpentine and
creosote, and after wards selling the
residue for fueL Several days ago an
agent for one of the companies tried to
interest parties here in plant.
His company offered to put up half
the capital stock, but Amerlcus fell
down on the suggestion to put up the
other half. But other towns have them,
and are now in the market to purchase
our surplus stumps.
