TO FORWARD PROTEST
TO LEGISLATURE
Against Juggling With Agri.
College Funds.

For the purpose of taking steps to
combat any effort which may be made
to divert the 10 cent tag tax from
the agricultural colleges to the public
school fund, a meeting of the Broad
of Trade Committee on City, County
and State Development will meet in
called session tomorrow afternoon at
4 o'clock at the Office of President
Allen The members of this commit
tee are: Messrs. Thos. Harold, J. j.
Holiday, d. r. Andrews and CraW-
ford Wheatley.
The alarm has been occasiOned by
the action of the Agricultural Com
mittee of the Senate, which in a re-
port against the proposde increase in
fertilizer tax, took occasion to say
that the majority of the committee be-
lieved that the 10 cents now diverted
to the agricultural colleges should
go to the common school fund. This
of course was merely an opinion, and
it is not believed that it is concurred
in by even majority of the senate,
not to mention the house.
The remarks of the committee are
of Importance only as showing the
disposition of some of the senators.
Unless prompt steps are taken it is
regarded as possible that some sena-
tor might introduce such bill. A
stitch in time is regarded as the
proper way to nip any such pro-
ceeding.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
WILL OPEN ON SEPT. |
President COIIum Outlines
the Situation.

President J. NJ. Collum of the Third
District Agricultural School, assures
Americus that this chool will open
Sept. /, on time, and urges that stu
dents send in their applications as
soon as possible
Moreover, Prof Collum expects that
direct appropriation may be made
for the schools, believing that the
farmers resent even an apparent tax
being placed on them in the advance
OF the tag tax rate as proposed, but
even if the appropriation is not made.
the Americus school will run.
Two ways are suggested by Prof.
Collum to raise the money for the
direct appropriation to the schools.
One is tax of $25 on dealers in
near beer" and the second is a
change in the method of coal oil in
specting which would save the salar-
les of many inspectors
President Collum has prepared the
following statement for the Times

TRAINMEN OF SKILL TO
FILL ALL POSITIONS
Bill Meeting With General
Favor.

Railway men in Americus, as else
where in the state, are well pleased
with the bill just passed by the Leg
islature and signed yesterday by the
governor, which prohibits the employ
ment of inexperienced men as rail
way engineers.
Railway men in particular, and the
travelling public in general, will be
interested to learn that Governor
Hoke Smith has signed a bill pro-
hibiting the employment of inexper-
fenced men as railway engineers.
The bill was introduced in the
house by Mr.. Tiff, of Dougherty, and
was strongly urged by the Brother
hood of Railway Engineers.
1t provides that a man must have
had three years of actual, bona-tide
experience as a fireman or engineer
on a railway locomotive or four
wears in a railway machine shop be-
fore he may be entrusted with the
responsibility of a regular engineer.
A violation of the law is subject
10 punishment as a misdemeanor in
any county of the state wherein the
violation may occur.

FINISHING UP WORK AT
PLANT IN AMERICUS
Season Here is Successful
Throughout.

At the warehouse and packing house
of Roberts Bros, in Americus, forces
have been employed during the past
week in packing for shipment the
hundreds of tons of fine peaches
packed here during the season re-
Gently closed, and one of great sue
cess.
More than a half million cans peach
es were thus put up at the Americus
cannery.
The fruit was of three of four
grades, from the pie peach to the fin
est selected table fruit, all put up
with great care and making an at
tractive package.
Just now the forces employed are
putting the sealed cans in cases of
two dozen and preparing them fol
shipment to the markets of the Uni
ted States And in hundreds of cities
canned peaches Made in Americus"
will be consumed
For every can and crate bears the
legend "Americus and Fort Valley"
the peach centres
The work of shipping the product
of the local factory will be completed
this week, quite likely, and then the
management will go north to take care
of the peach crops of Virginia, Mary
land and New Jersey, just now ripen-
ing.
Later in the season the vegetble
crops of Maryland, especially toma-
toes, okra, and corn will command all
attention
Results at the Americus factory
have doubtless been quite satisfac-
tory, and with another good peach
crop next season the output here may
be much larger than this season. this
being the company's first experience
in south Georgia
The plant was a profitable enter
prise for the city as well, with it's
payrolls and the market supplied the
peach growers.

MERCHANTS GO NORTH
FOR FALL PURCHASES
Several GOing to Markets
Already.

Americus merchants are preparing
to leave for the Eastern markets to
purchase fall stocks, and with sucn
fattering prospect of fine crops and
resultant fall trade they will buy
literally of all lines carried here.
Just as this time the crop prospect
is indeed fattering, and as cotton in
the south is the backbone of business
the merchants will buy accordingly.
Mr. S. E. Warlick of Pinkston & Co.,
goes tomorrow, as does Mr.. Ed Wilson
of Leslie. Messrs. Ross Dean and R.
S. Oliver of Plains and Mr.. A. Cohen
and son, Sam of this city, were among
those going yesterday. Other mer-
chants will go this week and next,
and by August 18th a score of them
will be busily engaged in the north
selecting fall stocks.

FIRST STEPS TO
A CIVIC LEAGUE
Board of Trade Committee
Will Get Busy.

One subject up for consideration at
tomorrow's meeting of the Board of
Trade committee on city, county and
state development, will be the pro-
ject of improving and beautifying the
city. The committee has been called
to consider matters connected with
the agricultural college, but will also
take up the question of improving and
adorning the city.
At a recent meeting of the Board
of Trade it was agreed that steps
should be taken to further beautitS
Americus. After some discussion it
was agreed that the matter should be
referred to the committee named with
the recommendation that efforts be
made to enlist the assistance of the
ladies in the move. Owing to the
absence from the city of some of the
members of the committee nothing has
been done. 1t is expected that active
steps will be taken at the meeting
tomorrow afternoon looking to the
launching of the Improvement work.

An Appropriation Possible

while there are only about 20 days
of the session remaining, there is am
pie time to tack on a direct appropria-
ton to the general appropriation bill
that has not yet come up in either
House, or the Senate. Friends of the
schools already have the matter in
hand, and it is believed that the Gen
eral Assembly will be willing to sup
port the schools through direct ap-
preparations, and if they are thus
provided for, there is every reason to
believe that this will be best, as the
farmers, for whom the schools have
been created, will feel more kindly
toward them, as it matters not wheth-
er the increase in the fertilizer tax
added to the cost of fertilizers OIL
not, they would have felt that the
burden was on the farmer.

FINAL ACT OF TRAGEDY
OF STAGE IN AMERICUS
Effects of Opera Company
Sold Here.

A heart tragedy enacted in Ameri-
Gus last year-a drama of the stage in
real life-had its finale here yester-
day amid surroundings more cheer
full the last act, wherein the former
actors had vanished and only the cos
tunes were left behind
1t was the sale at auction of the eff
fects OF a comic opera company,
which year ago struck hard upon the
rocks OF adversely here and fnan,
went to pieces.
The tinseled costumes the beWitch-
ing tights" all were exposed to the
gaze of the heartless multitude.
The story of the wrecked Paris BY
Night aggregation, with it's score of
pretty girls, who, penniless and among
strangers, sought service as hotel
mattresses and chamber maids at one
of the hotels here whereby to turn an
honest dollar and buy ticket home
is well remembered.
Theirs was indeed a hard lot and
there was flood of tears, real tears
that time, behind the scenes when the
property trunks were levied upon and
the end had come
1t was indeed bitter experience
for La Petit Parisiennes.
After weeks of service here the girls
finally got away, and from singing
hash went back to New York to again
sling melody and dance in front of
the footlights.
But the trunks remained behind,
safely stored away in the cob-webbed
basement of the courthouse.
The scenery, representing the bou-
levards of Gay Paree" an hour or
two before sunrise next morning,
brought the value of few centimes-
pearls cast before" etc., etc.
Ben Mize and Sam Heys bought the
property trunks, one each, and have
sufficient quantity of near" decollete
female harness of the opera brand to
stock a seminary for the road They
cannot wear the goods. And the lit
tie jumper" pants are really cute
Silk tights and wire shapes" made
a pyramid at the courthouse about the
only article of real use being the roy
al robe of Henry VIII, which hit Ben
Mize to a finish
The suggestion has been made that
the courthouse officials take the purch-
ase and divide the duds, and in future
appear in royal costume in the dis
charge of their duties at the tempe.
Picture if you can, some members of
that coterie thus arrayed.
1t was indeed a dreary dawn after
Paris by Night"

Other Ways to Raise Money

'1While it is claimed that the ap-
propriations can not be increased un-
der the tax limit, there are other
ways to raise additional revenue. A
tax of $25 on every dealer in near
beer" would raise enough money to
run the schools in addition to what
we now receive Cutting out all the
oil inspectors that are scattered
throughout the State, and have all
oils inspected in Atlanta, would add
quite a sum.
"The difficulties are going to be
overcome. Say to the people that
the school at Americus will open
Sept. 1 without doubt. We will have
all the feed stuffs that we will need.
The academic building and the dormi-
tory have been equipped and our
shops are the very best equipped in
the state. We need only money to
pay teachers and for light and wa
ter. and there is not any doubt about
us getting money for these purposes.
q would urge prospective stu
dents to send in their applications,
for the school will certainly open
Sept. / We are not expecting any
very great embarrassment

Why Senators Voted Nay

'.The failure of the fertilizer tag
bill to pass must not be construed to
mean that those senators who voted
against the bill, are opposing the
Agricultural Schools, on the other
hand many of them are strong friends
of the schools. They would have
voted against the bill had it provided
that the funds arising from the sale
of tags, was to be appropriated to
the Common Schools They opposed
it as class legislation.
THAT the net proceeds from the
sale of fertilizer tags under the ex-
listing law may be turned into the
common school fund, or any fund,
is hardly probable The House is on
record as favoring, not only giving the
proceeds now arising from the sale
of tags at 10 cents per ton, but also
favoring the raise to 25 cents per
ton.
