There will be no great celebration at
the laying of the corner stone of the
Third District Agricultural College.
Instead of that there will be an even
greater celebration than was con-
templated for the corner stone laying,
but it will take place when the college
is completed and in readiness for the
grand work that is before it.
The opening of the college is to be
made the occasion for a gathering of
the people of the entire Third Congress
sional district. Speakers Of prominence,
representing the State and National
governments will be on hand, the pro-
gram will be one that will be attractive
in every feature, and the college will
begin its history under the most
auspicious circumstances.
This was the conclusion reached, at
the joint meeting of the committees
representing the County Commission
ers, City Council and Americas Board
of Trade, at the court house yesterday
afternoon.
Those present were Messrs
ThOma, Rayand Chambliss, re-
presenting the County Commits
sloners; Aldermen Childers, Bo-
rum and Furlow, of the City Coun-
ell, and Mess. Sheffield, Clark and
Gamble, of the Board of Trade.
President Frank Sheffield, of the
Board of Trade was called to the chair,
md Mr.. II. Chllders was made secre-
tary.
A general discussion showed that
those present were unanimous in the
opinion that it would be impossible to
have a thoroughly successful celebra-

The increase in the number of
patients sent from Americus to the
State Asylum may be commensurate
only with the rapid increase in popula-
ton, but 1t is fact that the number
thus sent away has grown very rapidly
within recent years.
The commitment of Lucy Walker,
a negress, by the court of ordinary yes
terday made total of seven sent up
from here since January 1st.
This is a most unusual record, when
it is understood that in past years
half dozen commitments to the asylum

the new company has sold one hundred
carloads of this gravel, twenty carloads
being purchased by the contractors for
use at the Third District Agricultural
College in Americus. Another order
for 1000 carloads has just been placed
with an Alabama town for street paw
ing purposes. The company has been
duly chartered as the Alabama Sand
and Gravel Co., of which Mr.. F. B.
Arthur is secretary and treasurer. The
material with which Jackson street, in
Americus, is paved came from that To-
cality, which is evidence of it's fine

Most of these patients are coIOred,
though there are some whites.
The records in the court of ordinary
show that during last year thirteen
persons were sent to the Insane Asylum
from Sumter. To these may be added
the seven sent up since january 1st

OF the thirteen sent last year four
were whites and nine colored. The
seven sent this year are all negroes

rapid increase in insanity here?
