cities and towns of the state have

reported, so far, by any county, is
that of Wilcox. There the property
owners will have to pay SIS on each
$1,000 This, with the state rate of
S., will make total of $40 per 81 900.
This is due largely to the fact that
Wilcox lost much of its territory in
the formation of new counties.

TRANSFER OF PLANT
DELAYED FOR TIME
Necessitated By Death of Mr..
Harold.

The contemplated transfer of the
plant of the Americas Illuminating &
Power Co., to the newly organized Am
CIRCUS Railway and Light Co., will
necessarily be delayed for a few
days as the result of the death of Mr.
U. B. Harold yesterday. The trans
fer was to have been effected yester-
day afternoon, when proceedings were
brought to a sudden and unexpected
halt for the reason stated. The de-
lay, however, will be of short dura-

doubtless be effected in a few days.

COTTON MILL
FOR AMERICUS
Time Seems Ripe for Location of
Gone Here.

One of the most profitable meet
ings of the Board of Trade has held
in some time was that of last night.
There was an excellent attendance
of members. After the usual ordi-
nary business letter was read from
a party in Roanoke relative to the
establishment of a cotton mill in
Americas.
This lead to an interesting dis
custom in which several engaged, re-
lating their own personal experiences,
or what they knew of the success
achieved by cotton mills at other
points.
The general opinion was that the
time was ripe for the establishment
of mill in Americas, either entirely
by local capital or by local capital
affiliated with outside capital.
There is no doubt that a mill here
could be made equally as profitable
an investment as those at other
Georgia towns. Conditions here are
equally as favorable as elsewhere.
1t is probable that the dicussion
of this matter will eventually result
and perhaps in the not far future
in the building of a mill in Americas.
Further correspondence will be held
with the Roanoke party and it will
probably be arranged for him to
come here if his plan commends it
self to the business men of the COM
munity
