MADE GOOD
PROGRESS AGAINST WIND

Friedrichshafen, July Count
Zeppelin's airship this week stood
brilliantly the longest and most
searching test it has yet undergone.
1t remained in the air for ga hours,
attaining an average speed of "a 1-2
miles an hour throughout, although
for a short period the speed reach
ed SO IL miles, the highest yet ac-
complished. The airship carried
fourteen passengers.
The wireless apparatus successful
ly underwent severe experiments,
working without a hitch during the
entire period. Count Zeppelin came
here from Dresden to supervise the
tests.
The balloon left the floating shed
short ly before noon and was towed
a mile by motorboat. Then, utilized
only it's dynamic force and without
casting out any ballast, it ascended
slowly and majestically to an alti
tude of 1000 feet.
1t started off toward Constance at
full speed and then turned in the
direction of Romans Horn, in Switz-
erland, where it went through a long
series of maneuvers, all the appara-
tus working to the utmost satisfac-
ton.
1t then made a descent to the sur
face of the water and communicated
with the accompanying motorboat.
1t rose again and proceeded to Ror-
schach, at the other end of the lake,
propelled by the full force of the
engines. against rather brisk wind.

Status of Present Bond.

Some explanation was made as to
the status of the present bond given
by the company Owing to the fact
that the new company proposed ito
operate a gas plant, and as a charter
for street railway could not en-
brace this feature, it followed that
the company could not give a bond to
do something beyond its power. A
bill is now before the lower house on
final reading, having already passed
the senate, which grants this right,
and it was expected that in a few
days the bill will become law. The
company can then file bond in due
form. Mayor Hawkins also stated the
difficulty, and was of the opinion that
the trouble could be obviated as soon
as the bill became a law
Alderman Allen wanted to know if
an extension of time in making the
bond did not carry with it the extern
sion Of the completion of the con-
tract, and was informed that it did
Mayor Hawkins asked how long an
extension was wanted Mr.. Dodson
said that the bond would be prepared
Immediately after the bill became
law. In the event of it failing, which
did not seem hardly possible, a per-
sonal bond would be furnished.
Mr.. Dodson declared that his com
pany was in dead earnest about the
street railway part of the contract.
1t was stated that a shipment of new
machinery valued at $38 900 had been
received on yesterday He said that
the representatives of the Disston es-
tate who were here week ago, would
arrive in Philadelphia Saturday
morning, but as that was a holiday,
no steps could be taken before Mon
day, The time set by them for taking
over the gas and light plants was
July 15
Mayor Hawkins, in reply to ques-
ton by Mr.. Allen, stated that he
thought that the City Council could
extend the limit
1t was finally decided to let the
whole matter of the bond and the ex-
tension of time to complete the CON
tract go on the table, presumably to
be taken up at the next meeting
which is July 16.
1t was moved that the City Attor
ney be instructed to prepare such
documents as might be necessary for
the new bond, which would also CON
tain the time limit for the completion
of the work.

SHIPPING OF FRUIT Is
ABOUT AIITS HEIGHT
AmeriCuS is Marketing The
Peaches.

Americus fruit growers are exceed
ingly busy this week. In fact, the
fruit-shipping season is at its
height just at this time and carloads
of Elbertas leave Americus daily
for the markets of the East. Can
teloupes in carload lots are also be-
ing shipped from this point
Within another week, the bulk of
business will be over.
The figures. show that Georgia is
shipping wonderful peach, melon
and canteloupe crop.
The prices this year have not been
so high as they were last year, when
yet the aggregate received for the
crop thus far this year has been
by far the greatest ever paid the
growers since the inception of the
business some years ago.
On the whole, considering the
great crop that has been made and
the financial condition Of the country
generally, the prices received have
been highly satisfactory.
The growers have given employ
ment and are still employing thou
sands of persons in gathering and
packing the fruit who would not
otherwise have been employed at
all at this time.
The result is that thousands of
dollars are finding their way into
circulation; homes are being made
happier and added comforts have
been secured that but for Georgia's
blushing and luscious Elbertas, her
splendid melons and her tasteful
canteloupes would not have been
realized
Thus far the Central Railway has
handled about 1000 cars peaches, 200
cars canteIoupes and $50 cars water
melons.

Word was passed around among the

the Vice Presidency on the Bryan

booming Lieut.. Gov. Chanler. Mack
says that there will be an immediate
conference when the delegates from
New York arrive.
1t is the general opinion among
such leaders of the party that are
now here that if Judge Gray will de-
clare his willingness to accept the
second place on the ticket he can
have it. Josiah Marvel of Whining
ton, Delaware, the manager Of the
Gaay Presidential campaign, who
arrived in Denver tonight, will not
however, give his consent. He insists
that the Delaware man is a candidate
for first place, and when it has been

it will be ample time to place him
in the running for secondary position

PLANS OF SEABOARD A
MATTER OF INTEREST
Probable That Williams is
to Control.

In Americus it is rumored that the
purchase OF the stock of the Seaboard
Air Line railroad, now in receivers
hands, by John Shelton Williams and
friendly interests, the reorganization
OF the railroad and the election of
Williams as president are the events
scheduled to take place in the next
eight months, according to reports
from reliable sources.
No official confirmation has been
made of the rumor, but advices from
those who are in position to know
add credence to the opinion.
1T has been believed for some
time that the Seaboard would be re-
organized within the next eight or
ten months. Later advices, however.
say that the reorganization is sched-
uled to take place between now and
January 81
1t is thought by that time the re-
ceivers will have been able to clean
up the business transactions, so that
the road can be put up for sale
Although John Shelton Williams
gave up the majority of his stock
when the road was taken out of his
control, at the same time, it is said
that he owns large majority of the
bonds issued on the road, and that he.
and those associated with him, will
be able to secure the controlling in
terests in the road when it is placed
on sale.
If Williams secures the Seaboard
it is believed that the company will
be entirely reorganized
Mr.. John Shelton Williams will
either be president Of the new com
apny or chairman of its board of di-
rectors. This being true, the road
will be operated by Williams and the
new stockholders, and will prevent
the possible taking over of the road
by the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railroad, or any other line. as
has been rumored
Americus knows nothing of the
roads affairs beyond the published
reports from other points where in
formation is obtainable.

CRUDE OIL ON COUNTY

Sumter's progressive neighbor,
Dougherty county, is going to use
crude oil on the macadam roads of

of limestone rock. The only objec-
