Gus this morning for the North, we'll
pleased with what they saw of the
"Gem City of Southwest Georgia"
during their few hours of stay in the
city yesterday.
Without an exception when asked
for their candid opinion as to the city
they expressed the belief that Americus
enjoyed many advantages that should
ensure Its future growth, that it pre-
sented every appearance of ofsubstantial
wealth, business prosperity, and pro-
gressiveness of spirit; that it appeared
to offer good opportunities for invest
ment, and that from what they had
personally seen and learned of the city
they carried away a most favorable i'm
preston of it and it's people.
This morning at an early hour the
visitors left Americus en- route for
home. Through the courtesy of Direc-
tor Harold, of the Central, arrange
ments were made for their car to be
attached to a freight as far as Ander-
sonville, in order that they might en-
joy an opportunity to spend few hours
going over the national cemetery there.
After that their car will be joined to
the regular passenger train for Macon.

appearance of Americus and did not
hesitate to so express themselves.
After allowing the party time in
which to rest the committee again met
them at the Windsor Hotel at 9 O'Clock
last night and introduced them to
number of local business men. At $3.50
a dinner was served in the main
dining room, at which about forty

enjoyable affair. The menu was an ex-
cellent one. At its conclusion toasts
were responded to as follows:

Interested d in Light and Power Plants.
The Southern Public Service Corpor-

stockholders, was organized for invest
ment purposes in the South along the
line of public lighting and power COM
panies, and holds considerable invest
ments in plants of this kind. - -
The objectof the visit here. was to
make personal investigation of Amer
icus as a field for future inves tments
of this character. Under the contract
recently entered into between the City
of Americus and Mr.. Dodson there is a
fine. e.opening here for investment in both
the lighting and power field, in con-
junction with a street railroad that
must eventually, in growing city like
Americus, become highly profitable
franchise.
While it cannot be predicted what the
action of the investors will be, they

Liked Americus Spirit.

Zone thing that liked about Amer
icus'' said President Cassell, was the
fact that its people, and especially its
business men,. seem to be working to-
gether in unity, in absolute harmony,
for the upbuild!ng of the city. We saw
plenty of evidences of progress. Amer
lcus is city that people can feel proud
of. 1t is really surprising to find such
well built, handsome, progressive
town with population of but 10000.
We did not expect to find the city that
we did find wheu we arrived. Ameri-
Gus is evidently destined to gS ahead"

Standard OBS Defense

New York, Oct II An gu lined o.
the defense to he msde by the Standard
Oil Company 10 the government suit tC
dissolve the hundred million-dollars cor
poratioD, tie first authentic statement,
was given TO the Uoiied Press today by
one of the chief lawyers representing
the Rockefeller interests. In the first
place The government vii be asked this
brand new riddle: "What is mono
polyg' Then quickly will follow a
demsnd to know "whesher it is possible
to combine things that already are parts
If the same whole
The company will ask, what is a mono

cent. or 70 per cent that constitutes o
monopoly They charge Us with being
a monopoly, bu, we can't find out what
that is. How cap they prove we are
something hat never has been de6net?'
The company says their dictionary
says "a molopOy is the exclus-
i've right, power or privilege OF en-
gigiOg ia a particular trsffi ; or business
or the resulting absolute posessiou or
control " The other part OF the defense
is bss d upon the assertion that the
Standard Oil combination was formed
eight years before the Sherman ami
trust law went into force in 1890. The
law ia not retroactive The Standard says
It did not pretend to effect combinations
made previous to lis ebeciment.
Standard Oil makes this explanation
"When the various oil companies were
combined under lrus' agreement OF 1892,
the laws of the laud permitted it. The
business was centralized. When the
Sherman law was enacted the Standard
Oil business vas a single concern and is
yet II has combined with nothing ex.
cept itself" In the reorganization of
1899 when the capital stock of the
Standard Oh Company of New jersey
was raised f,om $4,000, 900 TO $780,

SOCIALISM is menacing English it,

loving: Abolition Of the monarchy,

establishment Of STATE pawnshops, es-
tablishment of State restaurants, public
ownership OF the drink trs fic, free State
insurance against sickness and accident,
abolition of standing armies, abolition
Of coar;t-marlial. In the new pamphlet
the socialists admit that they are

and urge it to the mr't They
appeal TO workiugmen 10 carry on
ths war "by making h'm' Ives mas
tiers OF their own country and OF all

Dealing with the army they sllege that
