JOLT is GIVEN GROWER
OF WEED IN GEORGIA
Promised 40 Gents. Offer
ed Eight Gents.

Tobacco growers, like cotton grow
ers, have their troubles, and just
now, from reports emanating from
the tobacco regions in south Georgia,
these troubles are multiplying. An
Americus man who spent several
days there recently states that the
tobacco growers are greatly exercis-
ed in the Unexpected horizontal de-
cline in price of their product, as
fixed by the wealthy buyers, and it
would not be surprising if real trouble
resulted. According to the statement
made the Americus man, the tobacco
growers were promised at planting
time the fair price of forty cents per
pound for their tobacco. Now, how
ever, that the time for delivery of
the goods is at hand they are told
that eight cents instead of forty cents
will be paid. The tobacco cannot be
held, as in the case of cotton, and
the farmers must act quickly if their
rights are to be protected 1t is said
that in one instance, recently, this
was done at the point of gun, the
tobacco farmer thus demanding the
forty cents price promised instead of
the eight cents offered And as he
got it, the supposition is that the
other growers will stand pat for
their claims as well.

notification comes that the conditions
of membership have been complied
with and the applicants are fully ELI
gible for admission organization can
not be perfected. In the meantime
the question of the name for the chap
ter is up for discussion and it is prob
able that several will be suggested at
the meeting to-day. Generally it is
sought to give local significance to
each chapter by naming it after some
local revolutionary celebrity Wheth-
er there is any prominent figure of
this section of Georgia who will be
honored in this way remains to be
seen. 1t is probable that half doz-
EN- names will be presented and an
animated debate as to their claims for
perpetuation in this way will result.

Just as fast as carpenters can

grand stand at the driving park will
be pushed forward this week Con-
tractor c. G. Hall has the building
contract, fact which insures results

ings will be completed within the
contract time. Every day now the
club receives letters from horsemen
in Georgia and other states asking
information regarding the first series
of races here, dated for September
23rd and oath, and the occasion will
attract a great crowd to Americus. In
few days how the official program
will be issued, containing the several
events arranged for the two days and
the amount of purses placed upon the
races. 1t is expected that several
tests of speed will be made upon the
track this week, with a real lively
sprint arranged for Monday next
Every day now horsemen go to the
park to test the speed of their horses
on the finest track in the state.

Quoted an ice cream, soda water and

Mr.. Brown stated yesterday, in reply
to inquiry regarding his assets and
liabilities, that if his stock and fix
lures brought even as much as fifty
cents in the dollar Of its value, there
would be an amount sufficient to
meet the liabilities. He has not yet
matured plans for the future but has
three engagements in other cities

BOAST OF LARGE CROP
COST HIM IHt DRINKS


The coterie of near" farmers who
infest the courthouse corridor was
engaged yesterday in discussion of
crop results, when one of the county
officials was quoted by Clerk Allen
with the statement that he had al
ready gathered eleven bales from a
twelve acre patch" and so far had
picked only around the edges, while
the centre looked like snowbank.
Despite protests, based upon the au-
thority quoted, the crowd arose as
one man and escorted the near farm
err to Dodson's, where the cost of the
drinks cut a hole in one of those
eleven bales, whether real or imag-
mary.

TO MOVE OLD BUILDING
TODAY TO NEW SITE
Library Will be Carried to
Church Yard.

The old library building will be re-
moved today from the site it has oc-
cupied for more than a quarter cen
tury to the churchyard of the Presby-
terian church The city council has
granted permission for the removal
of the building along Jackson street
which will thus be blockaded for
probably three or four hours. 1t was
greatly desired by the purchasers of
the building, the Presbyterian church
people, to bring it across in the rear
of the, Christian Science church, thus
obviating the necessity of blocking the
street. This would have made the
cost of removal a great deal less, but
the price demanded by the owners of
the building intervening was deemed
too high, and it will be carried along
jackson street instead. AS stated, the
Presbyterian congregation will fit up
the old library as a Sunday school
annex

CHAPTERS VOTE THIS
WEEK ON WIRZ SITE
TO Refer Question to Sd
vannah Convention.

Whether or not there shall be stay
of judgment in the matter of placing
the Wirz monument at Andersonville
will be decided within the present
week. The letters sent out by Mrs. J.
E. Mathis, President of the Americus
Chapter and chairman Of the Site
Committee, to each of the ninety-four
Chapters in the state, will be acted
upon at the September meetings,
which in the great majority of in
stances will he held tomorrow, Thurs
day or Friday.
Enclosed with the letters were re-
turn envelopes addressed to the Exec
utive Committe and a return postcard
addressed to Mrs Mathis. The lat
rte was for the purpose of let
ting the result be known here at
the earliest moment, so that the State
Committee can square it's actions
thereby.
The letters ask that the various
chapters request the Executive Com
mittee to postpone the date of unveil-
ing, which is set for Oct. 81, until the
Savannah convention can again con-
slider the matter ol locating the mon
ument at Andersonville. Members of
the Site Committee are fully convinc-
ed that it will be an irretrievable mis-
take to place the monument at Ander-
sonville, and that Americas is the
proper place for it's location, being
the nearest available point
Early next week it is expected that
the action of the various chapters on
the suggestion will be known. If it is
favorable to the arguments in the let
ters, then the matter will be up to the
Savannah convention, which meets
the latter part of October.
Entertainment has been arranged
for at the Windsor for the ladies who
attend the unveiling, whether it is
on Oct. 81 or in November.

COTTON RECEIPTS FOR
AUGUST 1888 BALES
Nearly Double Last Year
But Only Fraction More
Valuable.

Receipts of new cotton up TO Sept.
/, the beginning of the season of 1908
8, were just a round dozen shy of g.
O0O-in other words 1888 bales. This
compares with receipts last season up
to the same time of 1880 bales or
only little over half of the present
receipts.
AS has been known for some time,
the present season is what is toined
a forward one, the bolls having been
brought to maturity at a compar-
atiyely early date. The hot sun which
shone upon the cotton fields few
weeks ago is bearing it's feecy fruit
But the higher price prevailing at
this time last year makes the differ
ence in values between the receipts to
Sept. l this year and last year much
smaller than appears on the face of
the returns Th bales have been
worth about $40 less than last year
While good middling last year was
bringing 13 cents, on yesterday it was
a slow seller at shade below 8
cents. Allowing for this inequality,
the value of the bales marketed thus
far are about one-sixtt greater than
those received at the same time last
year, or a difference something over
$4,000.
During last week the rains greatly
interfered with the picking and had
the weather been bright the receipts
would doubtless have been consider
ably increased. The greater part of
the new cotton has been sold, grow
ers manifesting little disposition to
hold
The receipts to Sept. ] for the past
years have been: 1903, 1856; 1904, g.
175; 1905, 5000; 1906. 90S 1907, l.
$50; 1908, 2,9SS
1t has been suggested that the sec
ond picking will be later than might
have been expected from the forward
ness of the receipts, l6a heat having
forwarded the bolls at the top, lcav-
ing the lower ones to develop more
slowly. Last year receipts were heavy
shortly after the first-the 5000 mark
being passed on Sept. 7,--,and it is
possible that in a few weeks the diff
ference in receipts will be narrowed
materially In case this is borne out,
the yield for this section would be
about what it was last season.

DIVISION OF ORDER IS
FORMED IN AMERICUS
Organized With a Member
ship of 29.

With twenty mine charter members,
Americus Division No. 538, Order of
Railway Conductors, was organized
Sunday morning at a we'll attended
meeting of the conductors of the Fifth
division o of the Seaboard Railway,
held at Pythian Castle
And this membership is expected to
be increased largely, as many of the
knights of the punch were necessarily
absent, being away on their regular
runs on the road
The exercises of organization were
interesting throughout
Deputy President A. N. Kendrick,
representing the Grand Lodge of the
o. r. c., organized the new division
here, assisted by T. W. Evans of Di-
vision 180, of Atlanta; A. w. Staley,
r. Flournoy, S. r. Johnson and G. M.
Bragg, of Division 123 of Macon.
Mr.. E. L. Guerry of Division 313,
Tuczon Arizona, and member of
the old division here years ago, as
sisted in the ceremonials.
The election of officers of the new
division resulted as follows:
H. NJ. Stokes, chief conductor; G..
w. Poole, assistant chief; H. c..
Turner, secretary and treasurer; w.
E. Wood, senior conductor; G. E.
Ellison, junior conductor; ]. l..
Wise, inside sentinel; w. c. Guest,
outside sentinel.
These officers will serve during the
remainder of the current year
As stated heretofore, the conductors
of the Fifth division of the Seaboard
have for several years past been un-
der jurisdiction of the Savannah di-
vision, but as Americus is the home
and layover point for many of them
a new division here was desired
The new division, No. 53S, is organ
lied under most favorable auspices,
and is promised a long and useful
career. Regular meetings will be
held on the second and fourth Sun
days in each month, at the Pythian
Temple here.
The many friends of the gallant
knights of the bellcord will wish for
them and their new division long life
and prosperity.
