standing the fact that experiment at
ter experiment by competent authOri-
ties has demonstrated that a ton OF
seed has a half less fertiliZing value
than a ton of meal That is, he gets
in one ton of meal all the fertilizer
that two tons of seed contain Now,
a ton of meal cost him about $22;
two tons of seed will pay for this
meal and leave him So to spend on
his family.
That eight dollars represents his
profit the seed contains in oil if he
has them manufactured, but which
is a total loss if used raw on the
lands, as the oil itself has no fer
tilizer value whatsoever. By using
the raw seed he also loses his in
terest in the linters, which amounts
to a considerable sum and is shared
with him by the mills buying them.
1t is very doubtful if the bulls, which
in connection with the meal after the
oil has been extracted, furnish a
superior stock food or do lands any
good.
The oil mill industry, therefore,
in taking the raw seed and working
UP the various elements found in
them, so as to fit each for varied
and special use in acceptable form,
simply reduces the problem of dis
posing of seed to the best advantage
to a matter of absolute certainty,
based upon both practical tests and
scientific research.
Values of Meal and HuIls.
Cotton seed meal, which is more
valuable than linseed meal for feed
ing stock, heads the list now of
American feedstuffs The cattle
raisers of the West regard it as hav-
ing double the food value of wheat
bran or brewers grain at about halt
the cost. Coarse wheat bran, which
is said to possess about one-third the
value of meal, costs about as much
Corn meal also costs more, yet i

Hardware buyers should always

fore laying in their 1907 hardware,
such as tinware, stoves, oils, colors
and buggies, wagons and harness.
The tasteful and artistic designs of
their stoves surpass any that we have
ever seen in this territory, anu they
will appeal to all good housewives
because beside being a decided Orna-
ment to the kitchen they never fail
to cook and draw. These stoves have
been built by people having both a
lifetime experience in stovemaking
and adequate facilities for turning
out the best work. They cost no
more than stoves of far less value.

WORK RAPIDLY PROGRESSING
Situated on Lamar Street, Two
Doors East Of the Southern
Corner of Jackson and OPP
posite the Windsor. This
New Building Occupies a
Location of Greatest Promi-
nence-Credit to Americas.

The average Americas man when
abroad is secure in his faith that
whatever statements he may make
about his home town during his alb
sence will be amply supported by
facts before his footsteps awake the
echo of Cotton avenue again.
A story told as early as 1890,
which has since been very frequent
ly retold, is to the effect that one
of our most optimistic citizens who
was kept out of the city by an en-
gagement that would permit of no
frequent returns had his surprise
and establishment aroused to the
highest pitch because of the, fame
of Americas never having reached
his transient place Of abode, and
he set about the task, in so far as
lay within the scope of his ability,
of correcting the condition of affairs,
depending upon his memory and
imagination.
AS fitting climax to the wonder
ment of his auditors, as he supposed,
he told of a great hotel, covering
an entire square, with an alleged
height of three floors and containing
over 100 rooms.
On his return soon after imagine
his surprise and chagrin when his
eyes beheld not only one but two
hotels, one of four stories with 200
rooms and another of two stories
an equal number of
rooms He Wept!
Big Furniture Building.
A project on foot at the present
time we'll calculated to cause those
of our absent ones to weep because
they haven't a sufficiently cOmpre-
hensive grasp of@athe development
now going on to properly portray
the enterprise and spirit of our peo-
pie is the new building being erected
on Lamar street opposite the i'm
posing Windsor hotel by the Allison
Furniture Company for their mann
moth stock of goods.
Every man residing in Sumter
county or in fact, the whole vast
territory known as Southwest Geor
gia, should be directly and vitality in
terested in any of the many projects
by Americas which tend to build up
the commercial Importance and ex-
tend the industrial fame of our sec
ton. To do so is nothing more than
a plain matter of business, which

reservations and guarantees mean

One thing that our merchants
and Board of Trade ought to consid-
er and arrange for is the matter of
amusements for the people who come
here to trade. Also railroad rates.
We ought to have low railroad rates
in effect to Americas at least some
of the time, and advertise these and
get the people of our territory in
the habit of coming here Nothing
could be of more Importance than
this unless it is the matter of MAX

CAREER OF BANK OF SOUTHWESTERN GA,
With Capital of 100000 and Large Surplus of the
Strongest Banks in Georgia.

In the banking circles of Georgia
the financial institutions of Ameri-
Gus take high rank, both for sub
Stant1al conditions and for progress
slVe methods. This is due to the
prosperous conditions prevailing and
TO the very able management in
charge. The aggregate banking cap
1tal is nearly 100000, while the
deposits average a million, sometimes
exceed that amount. This is a good
showing for Americas and the people
or Sumter county, and indicates the
ability of our people to finance enter
prises and take care of the produc-
ton and distribution of our crops.
It shows also that we are wealth
producers and have a territOry~-of
splendid possibilities, full of many
resources, the continued development
OF which means even better things
for the future.
Career of the Bank of Southwestern
Georgia.
Probably none of the banks of
Americas has exerted a more potent
live, white-hot influence in the de-
velOpment of our banking facilities
and commercial greatness than the
Bank of Southwestern Georgia, the
president of which is A. w. Smith,
in whose well-known reputation in
the banking and business circles of
South Georgia, Americas takes Just
pride. The banks achievements.
too, are not less due to the bust
ness foresight and acumen of the
men with whom Mr. Smith has
chosen as his associates, among them
G. M. Eldrige, the well-known drug
glst who is the vice-president and
one of the banks most active Off
Gals, and N. M. Dudley, the popular
cashier
The bank has capital of $780,
600 and a very large surplus. 1t
has also one of the largest reserve
funds of any bank in this territory
Being able to extend every accommo-
dation consistent with safe banking
and having the confidence of a large
number of the most substantial peo-
pie, it was never in more prosperous
condition than today, having found it
necessary to establish a branch at
Ellaville to accommodate a large
class of patrons in that territory. 1t
| is understood that the officers con-
template the construction of a hand
some building at Ellaville as the
permanent home of this branch The
same progressive, business-like meth
DDS practiced at the home bank,
which has made many friends for
the institution here, are practiced in
the conduct of the new bank, and
the success of the new venture is
most promising, in fact, reaSsuring.
The building and fixtures of the
Bank of Southwestern Georgia are
modelled after a pattern designed es-
pecially for convenience, comfort,
etc, and are all that could be desired
to properly equip a bank for first
class work. Each man connected
with the institution has enjoyed
special training in the banking bust
ness and many years of practical eX-
perience 1t merits the confidence
of the people and the large patron
age accorded it. No more worthy
in the state.

An cSd Animal Community.

An Cad Animal Community.
Natural enemies of the animal world
are sometimes found living together in
extraordinary communities. j. q. Mil
lais in volume on animals quotes this
experience of an observer: con one oc-
casian when ferreting bolted fox,
eat. stoat and several rabbits and
rats ont of the same earth The fox
bolted first, after giving the ferret a
nip across the back, from the effects of
which it died an hour later. Next came
the stoat and then the cat, both of
which ] shot. Then followed the rab-
bits and rats promiscuously. 1t was a
large burrow on the bank of deep,
dry watercourse and often held fox
when ! ferreted it afterWard.

touches the prosperity OF the country
as a whole, and the individual profit
of every man, whether he be la
borer, mechanic, farmer, merchant
or millionaire.
This new building by the Allison
Company adds another handsome
and costly structure to the already
large number of valuable business
houses in the city, and indicates that
the spirit which first breathed art
and culture through superior skill
and workmanship into Americas, as
reflected by our magnificent resi-
dences, hotels, churches, etc, is not
dead nor sleeping, but fully alive,
active, pulsating and quickening the
life and energy of our industrial
nature.
1t will be a three-story brick
building S0x80 feet, second in ap-
pearance to few buildings of it's cost
anywhere, sufficiently cOmmOdiOus to
form the nucleus of accOmmOda-
tions for one of the growing bust
nesses of the city, in the exploitation
of which Americas takes a pardona-
BILE pride.
The first and third floors and a
part of the second will be devoted
exclusively to the mammoth furni-
ture stock, including a large assort-
ment of china, crOckery and glass
ware 1t will house the largest stock
of furniture and kindred lines ever
brought to Americas. A special
feature will be made of the cele-
brated line of Macey-Wernicke book
cases, for which the company is sole
agent: also of Stearns & Fosters
mattresses.
What Mr.. Allison Says.
I'm going into our new building, ;"
said Mr.. A. w. Allison, secretary and
treasurer. 1--WE will be better equip
ped than ever to carry out our motto,
The best goods for the least money.
Our building has been especially de-
signed and constructed for furn1-
ture store, and we will still continue
to make the furnishing OF homes

We have confidence in the future OF
Americas. and confidently expect the
property now being constructed to
Sfadd to it's material well-being future
growth AS the city grows so we
hope to do.
