TRAINS OPERATED
THROUGH AMERICUS.
Coast Line Has Lease with
Central.
OPERATE TRAINS THROUGH ATLANTA
Such the Report Coming from the
Capital---AtlantiC Coast Line to
Run Trains from Albany
Over Central,

Atlantic Coast Line trains are to be
operated through Americus over the
lines of the Central between Albany
and Atlanta, Such is the interesting
report coming from the capital city. In
an authorized statement, 7. NJ. Emer-
son, president rof the Atlantic Coast
Line sytem, says that his road has
completed arrangements with the Cen:
trail of Georgia system whereby the
Coast Line VIII secure entrance into
Atlanta by way of Albany and Macon.
This announcement was out in state
ment which explained the sale Of the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah road to
the Seaboard Air Line system. When
the arrangement will go into effect is
not known here, but it will prove to be
one of the most important changes in
the railroad and traffic situation that
has taken place in Georgia in many
months. President Emerson explained
that the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
was bought in order to get into Atlanta
over the track of the Central. The Ma
con, Dublin and Savannah was then
sold to the Seaboard. This permits an
almost complete crystalization of all
the Atlantic Coast Line interests in
Georgia.

SOUTHERN CUTS OUT CIGARETTES.
Paper Suckers Will Not Be Employed
LOnqer.

Business men everywhere, with the
possible exception of Americus, are
waging relentless war upon the cigar
ette fiend, who is to be barred from en-
ployment, Railroads, express COM
panies and corporations generally are
refusing to employ men with no more
brains than to puff cigarettes. Propri-
etors of stores and offices will not have
them, and the cigarette puffer must re-
form or get out. The Southern Rail
way has just issued an edict against
this class of fiends, and all officials
and employees of the Southern, from
the president down to the call boys
and light tenders, must forswear the
pleasure of cigarettes. This is tho
edict that is reported to have gone
forth from the officials, and employees
must choose between their positions
and cigarettes. All branches of the
system will be affected, so it is said,
and future applicants will have direct
questions put to them as to whether
they smoke or not.

the mission Of the Seaboard represen-

that Americus should have a place in
the publication if it was possible to
obtain it.
kilograms were sent by him calling
the attention of Mess. Bates and Leslie
to the importance of this point in its
relation to the Seaboard system. and
to the desire of the business interests
here that Americus be included among
the places to be visited by them
1t is highly probable that President
Shefield's work in this direction will
bear fruit and that Americus will not
be overlooked by the publicity depart
ment of the Seaboard. 1t is probable
that letters will be sent to the repre-
sentatves of the system further stres-
sing the claims of this citv and extend
ing them pressing invitation to come
here at their earliest opportunity.
Americus should lose no opportunity
to keep itself before the world.

The forms of affidavit that each

settled that each commissioned officer
will give five per cent. of his claim to
defray the expenses of the disburse-

IN REALM OF COTTON

Valued at $500 Arrives

HER SUBJECTS HERE in SUMTER.

Eighteen hundred dollars represents
the value of carload of cotton seed
received in Amerious Yesterday by Mr..
w. c. Carter, the highest price ever
paid for ear of seed here. But the
seed possess quality, hence the value
placed upon them.
The seed are the celebrated Flora
dora" variety and came direct from the
farm OF the originator, l.. A. Stoney
Mr.. Carter represents other farmers
here and The seed are sold already.
And fortune awaits those who plant
thiz variety of cotton.
For several seasons past Mr. Carter
and other farmers of Sumter have
planted Floradora cotton with results
highly satisfactory. The cost of cult
vation is no greater than that of the
ordinary short staple cotton, while the
price is almost double
Mr.. Carter sold his Floradora cotton
in the Americus market this season at
23 cents per pound while short staple
cotton was bringing ten and eleven
cents. And, too, the yield per acre of
Floradora is greater than of the short
staple kind.
This is strong argument, quite
naturally, in its favor.
The carload of selected seed received
yesterday by Mr.. Carter will be suffi-
cIent TO plant l.500 acres, insuring a
yield of about l.200 to l.5OO bales. The
difference in prices between this varie-
ty and short staple means in additional
$4,000, at least.
Under these circumstances ii is no
wonder that our progressive planters,
using improved methods, will use i'm
proved seed as We'll

LET'S 60 AFTER THIS PLANT
Cigar Company Seeking LOCatiOn--Why Not Try to Get
1t for AmeriCuS?

Here is chance, for instance. to get
a cigar factory located in Americus.
The Santa Clara Cigar Manufactur-
ing Company, of Jesup, having decided
to enlarge its facilities for the manufac-
ture of cigars, has concluded to look
about for better location.
Waycross and several other south
Georgia towns are making efforts to
induce the company to locate in them.
Americas is not among those who
are at work on this line. There is no
reason why it should not be. This
cigar factory is but one of number OF
industries that are seeking locations.
Americus must get in the swim. We
must go after the industries, or we will
not get them.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-03-29

Is Americus going after industries or
not?
That is the question that must be de-
cided in the near future.
If this city is to become more of a
manufacturing point it will be neces-
sary for it to do what other cities large
and small, in Georgia are doing, keep
an eye open for every factory that is
seeking a change of location, and
every company that is organized to go
into the manufacturing line, present
the claims OF Americus to them and
use every endeavor to secure their To-
cation here.
This will be, or should be, peculiarly
the work of the Board of Trade.
1t is the most important work that
trade organization can undertake.

The suggestion is made that the
Spanish American war veterans of
Americus and adjacent country, whose
claims on the fund soon to be distrlbu-
ted are very small individually, with
the exception of an officer or two, trans
fer their claims to the Wirz monument
fund.
Some of the claims are for a sum less
than dollar, some for but a dollar or
two. None of the privates will receive
ough of this back pay money to
seriously distress him if he she uld
hand it over to the laudable purpose
indicated above.
In the aggregate the various sums
would make substantial addition 20

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great change q
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
a million women have found health and
happiness in the use of Dr. Perce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t makes weak wom-

Explosion by Music.

One of the most dangerous of all ex- ploslves is q black powder called iodide of nitrogen. When 1t is dry the slight pst touch will often cause it to explode with great violence. There appears to I,e a certain rate of vibration which this compound cannot resist. In ex- periments to determine the cause of it's extreme explOsiyeness some damp iodIde of nitrogen was rubbed on the strings of a bass viol. It Is known that the strings of such an instrument will vibratc when those of a similar instrument having an equal tension are played upon. In this case, after the explosive had become thoroughly dry upon the strings. another bass vioI was brought near and the strings sounded 1t q certain note the iOdide of nitro gen on the prepared instrument ex- plOded. It was found that the explo- sion occurred only when a rate of vi- bratiOn of sixty a second was com muuicated to the prepared strings.
