COMP ANY TO BUILD IT'S
new PLANT AT ONCE
Still Delayed in Adjusting
Losses.

Messrs. L. G.. Council, and Thorn
as Harold, representing the Ameri-
Gus Compress Co., will go to Atlanta
today for the purpose of consulting
with the Atlantic Compress Co., Off
cials regarding the situation here, and
especially as to the new compress.
The Atlantic Compress Co., is the
lesse of the Americus plant, and this
conference may bear upon the press
soon to be erected.
1t is expected now that work will be
started shortly.
Supt. Pollard of the Central Rail-
way, came to Americus yesterday to
consult with the compress company
regarding additional sidetracks re-
quired at the press, and this new
trackage will be put in long before
the new building is completed.
Just what will be done about the
insurance losses upon the burned plant
seems unsettled.
Although the plant here was burn
ed just two months ago, the insur-
ance companies carrying risks upon
the building and machinery have not
yet adjusted the losses, and there
seems no immediate prospect of set
tIement of the claims.
Just what the inusrance companies
propose doing about it, no one here
appears to know.
While the companies, under the
law, have sixty days in which to
pay claims, even this period of time
has been exhausted, or will be by to-
morrow night, the compress having
been destroyed on February End
Even after a lapse of the sixty
days the losses are not adjusted.
The Americus Compress Co., anxious
to restore the property to its lesse,
the Atlantic Compress Co., is thus
delayed two months in rebuilding.
In order to replace the press in time
for the next cotton crop, work must
be started without delay
And the visit of Messrs. Council
and Harold to Atlanta today, to
consult with President Hanson, will
bear upon this point.
The new compress, which must be
completed in August, will be consid-
erably larger than the one burned
two months ago and better arranged
in every way A million feet of
lumber will be used in the construc-
ton of the new plant, it is said.
More sidetracks and more sheds
and platforms will be provided in
the construction of the new plant
which will be by far the largest one
in southern Georgia.

MONEY is COMING FOR
VETS IN FEW DAYS
Captain Cobb Has Forward
ed List.

Capt John A Cobb of the court of
ordinary, than whom no one has ever
guarded with more interest and soli-
citude the interests of the Confederate
veterans and those entitled to pen
sions, sent forward this morning the
certified list of veterans and widows
of Sumter county who are thus en-
titled to pensions. This is required
by state law, and as. soon as the list
is verified by Commissioner Lindsey
the money for the veterans is for
warded. The second quarterly pay
ment is to be made within the next
week or ten days, or by April 10th,
which will be two months earlier than
was expected Sumter county's pen
sioners will receive about $1,825 as
their next quarterly payment, and
Captain Cobb will pay them as soon
as the money is received, which will
be before April 10th, quite likely.

HIGH PRICE FOR STOCK
is PAID BY DEALERS

An Americus butcher paid $500
yesterday for very fine steer, bought
for slaughter, while yoke of work
oxen, bought for plantation service,
brought the round price of $3.50, or
$75 per head Cattle can be raised in
Sumter at comparatively little cost,
as cotton seed hulls are cheap and
swamp pasturage abounds yet little
attention is given this great industry
despite the high prices which cattle
of every kind now command.

HORSE WAS KILLED BY
BULLET FROM A RIFLE
Boy Shoots a BirdIet and
Kills Horse.

Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon ShipIey are
deploring the loss of a valuable Shet-
land pony which was killed by an
accidental rife shot at their home on
Lee street; a dumb victim to the omni-
present and death-dealing parlor rifle.
The little son of neighbor was "the
man behind the gun" in this distress
ing episode, and in quest of game fir
ed his rifle at an English sparrow
which, like his brethren, bears a
charmed life. The sparrow escaped,
but not SO with the horse, which was
in the line of fire. and the ball enter
ed the side of the pretty pony, death
resulting in a day or two from the
wound.

WHILE IN FAIR HEALTH

DR.. S. H. Mckee received a tele-
gram late last night announcing the
very sudden death of his father. The
announcement was severe shock to
DR.. Mckee, as his father, while we'll
advanced in age, being about 81
years old, was in excellent health,
seemingly. DR.. and Mrs. Mckee left
by the 10:40 Central train last night
for Waverly Hall, the old family
home, to attend the funeral exercises.

FINE YIELD OF PEARS
is CERTAIN IN SUMTER

The growers of LeConte pears in
this section are rejoicing over the
prospect of good crop. Last year
there was no crop, owing to the dam
age to the trees by the cold, and it
looked for a while as though there
would be small crop this year as
the blooms came out full and there
seems every reason to believe that
the yield will be a large one.

VIEWS IN COLUMBUS ON
TAKING OFF TRAINS

1t is to be hoped the Central
people will do the best they can, by
Columbus in the matter of cutting
down their passenger service be-
tween this city and Americus. Of
course we could not ask that a train
be operated that does not pay, but
if they must take off one we trust
that the schedule of the other one
will be just to Columbus.-Enquirer-

The U. s. Government in its pure
Food Law" does not "indorse" or
guarantee" any preparation, as
some manufacturers in their adver-
tisements would make it appear. In
the case of medicines the law pro-
vides that certain drugs shall be
mentioned on the labels, if they are
ingredienst of the preparations. Elys
Cream Balm, the well-known family
remedy for cold in the head, hay few
er and nasal catarrh, doesn't contain
a single injurious drug, so the MAX
ers have simply to print the fact
that it complies fully with all the
requirements of the law.

The establishment of quarintine at
