RUMORS OF EFFORT
TO SWIPE TAG TAX
And Leave Agricultural Col
lege PenniIeSS.

Fearful lest the 10 cents tag tax
which now goes to the support of the
agricultural colleges be taken away.
Prof. B. e. White of the Third District
Agricultural College, has asked that a
special meeting of the Board of Trade
be called for Monday night to take ac-
tion on the possibility named. 1t will
be asked that a representative be sent
from Americus to the legislature to
make before the proper committee an
emphatic protest against the elimina-
tion of this fund when the occasion
arises.
Prof. White has learned that there
is bill introduced, or about to be in
troduced, seeking to turn this 10 cents
per ton tax on fertilizers into the COM
mon school fund In view of the un-
favorable vote on the proposition to
increase the tag tax, it is feared that
there is danger of the agricultural
schools being deprived of the little
they now have.
President Collum, of the Third Dis
trict Agricultural College, is out of
the city, and in view of the develop
ments of Wednesday Prof White does
not want any chance overlooked to
block any such legislation.

FIRST BALE OF COTTON
Is NEAR AL~HAND
AmeriCuS to Receive a July
Bale.

Americus, in all probability. will
receive a July bale of cotton; the
first one to arrive prior to August in
many years, if not the first one ever
marketed here in July 1t was stated
here yesterday that one progressive
farmer near the city had a half bale
cotton picked out already, and ex-
pected to get a sufficient quantity
within a week to make a full July
bale. AS rule Americus gets her
first bale between August 8 and 18th,
and if one is received this season in
July it will break the record. Not
in years has the cotton crop of this
section been more promising than at
present and if favorable conditions
continue Americus is sure of her
usual $4,000 bales for the season of
190S-O9.

DEAL IS A CERTAINTY
NOW, 1T is THOUGHT
Believed Will Be COnSun-
mated Today.

The deal having in view the pur-
chase of the plant of the Americus
Light and Power Co., by the new Am
ericus Railway and Light Co., long
pending will be consummated today
in Philadelphia, where parties inter
ested are now in conference.
Such was the gratifying announce
ment reaching Americus yesterday.
The parties, interested have been
very carefully looking into all details
of the transaction for two or three
days, and final conference is to be
had this morning.
And the belief expressed by those
interested is that the success of the
enterprise seems assured.
Messrs. Thomas Harold, w. A.
Dodson and A. n Walker havf been
in Philadelphia for several days upon
business connected with the financing
of the enterprise, Mr.. Harold repres-
enting the owners of the electric plant
here in the sale of that property
1t is a transaction of considerable
magnitude, involving as it does the
payment of more than $4,000, and,
very naturally, it cannot be effected
hastily
But that it will be done seemed as
sured yesterday.
Capitalists there who are expected
to supply the finances required in the
building of the new power plant and
electric street railway in Americus,
have requested another conference to-
day, which will likely result in the
success of the enterprise
And the news that will come to Am
ericus today is expected to be of a
nature altogether pleasing.

 Senator McCarren declared that the action of the convention in depriving the Senatorial districts of the rightsSof naming their own State committeeman was a bigh-handed outrage He said:
 There will be a general conference of Democratic leaders within week or so in this city to take such action as w.ll make known a united opposi- tton to the indefensible action of those in control of the recent convention in disfranchfsing the Democratic voters up State. know that representatives from at least thirty-ff five counties are out in opposition to this action or the convention.
