Shackles of steel were fastene upond

Just how long any of them will remain

mere matter of guesswork but they
will at least be carried out and put to
work. And many others will follow
as forty were given fines or chaingang

doubtless pay out. Bill Frazier, who
escaped recently and was captured in

another flying looloo bird shot and

DRAWING OF Y. M. G. A. BUILDING
AmeriCuS viii Indeed Have Handsome
Structure.

The Times -Reeordertold yesterday of
the expected early receipt of plans for
the $25, 900 Y. M. G. A. building, with
a drawing of same when completed.
The big picture was received Yesterday,
and is well calculated to delight every
citizen of Americus interested therein.
1t represeets a massive four story
structure, of handsome design and or
namen1al withal. While the COM

NEVER IN YEARS WAS
TRADE JUST AS GOOD.
Plenty of Business is Of
fered.
EASTER RUSH IS PHENOMENAL.
AmeriCuS Merchants Literally Over.
whelmed Yesterday Business
Was the Best Since the
Christmas Holidays.
EASTER RUSH is PHENOMENAL.

But for the fervid temperature yes
terday anyone might easily have inn
agined himself swamped in vortex OF
Christmas shoppers, for the crowded
streets, with inextricabIe mass of teams
| and struggling thousands of people,
gave it that appearance.
st has been the busiest day since the
| Christmas holidays said tired retail
grocer TO the Times Recorder late last
night.
Not man in my store has been to
dinner today" said a leading clothier
and gents furnisher. AS you see it
now, so has the store been since early
this morning"
And the appearance then was as if a
storm had struck it. Dozens of Gus
toners clamored to be waited upon,
while half dozen statesmen worked
like Trojans to meet the demand upon
them. All about them the stock lay in
semi-confusion.
1t was the day before Easter, and the
people wanted the goods.
And piles of shoes, hats, clothing and
gents furnishings, either piled up in the
store or being sent out, told eloquently
the story.
And in all lines of business here in
busy, hustling, growing Americus con-
ditiOns were the same.
Drygoods men, grocers, shoe dealers,
supply dealers, hardware men-all told
last night of the best days business
marking the first quarter of 1907. More
business was done in this one day than
in whole week only few years ago.
This statement cannot be disputed; it
is self evident
And it proves that Americus is more
than ever the commercial metropolis Of
southern Georgia. From twenty coun-
ties come people to buy here yesterday.
They came with the coin and were
given welcome. Why not allow these
conditions to continue?
Americus is the greatest city in Geor-
gia south of Macon, and her growth is
rivaled by none other, Help her grow.
Make every day of the six busy day,
such as yesterday.

say that ian ounce of prevention Is
worth a pound of cure" is putting 1t
very mildly, for when the San Jose
scale, for example, is once introduced
into nursery, 1t is sure to be the cause
of very erious losss and inconvience.
/ emphasize the matter at this time
so that all interested parties will
have ample time to make requests
for inspection along the line referred
to above, If they so desire.
The practice of planting out "left-
over" stock that has been received
from other sources should certainly
be discontinued, for there is no telling
where it may have originated, and 1t
may contain infested trees whicn will
be the source of much trouble and
annoyance later on A case of this
kind has come to light quite recently
and l, therefore, sound note of
warning, for it is not too late to de-
stroy "left.over" stock even though
it has been "lined out" in the nursery
row.
AS pointed out in the beginning, the
law makes provision for the control
of dangerously injurious insect pests
and plant diseases, and we shall always
be glad to receive specimens and
reports of injury, and on receiving
petition for inspection we shall do
all in our power to assist in bringing
any given pest or disease under con-
troll
Copies of the law, and the publica-
tions of this department in accordance
Herewith, are available for distribu-
tion and will be sent, free of charge,
on application.
