MACHINERY IS BEING
INSTALLED AT PLANT
Fifth Factory in AmeriCuS
Being Pushed.

Building operations at the new
plant of the Americas Home-Mixture
Guano Company, were well under way
yesterday morning, and the vicinity
of the old cotton compress on Spring
street will soon be transformed into
a busy hive of industry.
Buildings are being renovated and
enlarged new structures erected
where needed, and the plant put in
condition for an early beginning of
the manufacture of fertilizer.
And thus the fifth big fertilizer fac
tory for Americus will soon be fully
established.
Mr.. Roy L. Parker will be general
manager for the new company, and
already has entered upon his duties
there. Mr.. Parker has had experience
in this line, and the new company is
fortunate in securing his services in
that capacity.
An order was placed yesterday for
a 32-horse power gas engine for the
mixing department. All other ma
chinery required has been ordered,
and it is expected to have the new
plant ready and fully equipped for
operating within thirty days.
This new and fifth factory will be
as large as any of the others here
and employ a large force during the
manufacturing season.

COMMITTEE is BUYING
SUPPLIES FOR SCHOOL
Meeting Held in AmeriCuS
Monday.

The purchasing committee for the
Third District Agricultural school
met in Americus Monday to consider
bids for school supplies and made
purchases generally. Messrs. Heard
and Bivins of the board of trustees,
with members of the local committee,
were thus engaged a great part of the
day. AS the school is without dining
hall and kitchen, which are included
in plans of the girls dormitory not
yet erected, the committee yesterday
contracted with Mr.. John w. Shiver
to erect temporary apartments for
this purpose. The plan contemplates
a neat cottage, dining hall and kitch-
en- combined, which may be utilized
for other purposes at a later date
when the girls dormitory, with its
regular dining hall and kitchen, is
built. The cottage will be a neat
frame building, covered with ruber-
old roofing. The committee yestr-
day bought mules and farm wagons,
and also inspected desks and other
school supplies. A great many arti-
cles remain to be bought, and it will
be necessary for the committee to
hold another meeting very soon to
complete the list
