FIRST BIG LOAD BALES
COMES TO THE CITY
Cotton is Now Rolling Into
Market.

A farm wagon pyramided with
nine big cotton bales drew up at
the Council Warehouse yesterday and
attracted attention as the first big
load brought to market, previous
bales having arrived in smaller lots
of one to three bales This fine team
was from the plantation of Mr..
Thomas B. Hooks, five miles south
of the city and upon a country road
as smooth and firm as any street in
Americus. The nine bales averaged
500 pounds weight, and four mules
trotted to Americus with this weight
of 4,500 pounds of cotton in addition
to the wagon and driver The trip
probably consumed an hour, or an
hour and quarter, and attests the
value of good roads, as before i'm
proyements began the same load
or less, would have required six
mules to move it and probably twice
the time. Cotton is coming in quite
rapidly now, and more than 200 bales
will probably total this weeks re-
ceipts here.

NEGRO IN CELL TELLS
STORY OF HIS CRIME
Killed Girl in Effort to.
Shoot Wife.

In his cell at the county Jail Isaih
Singleton told yesterday the story of
the killing of the negro girl, Gray
at his home near Americus the even
ing previous, an account of which ap-
peared in the Times-RecOrder yester
day The article stated that Singleton
was attempting to shoot woman
which, in reality, was his wife. The
two had quarreled, and dashing into
the house the brutal negro seized his
shotgun and returned to the scene.
Cooking the gun he leveled it at his
wife, but at the moment of firing the
woman's brother, standing near
struck at the gun in the hands of
the infuriated husband. The piece
was discharged the entire load strik-
ing the wife's daughter by forme
marriage and killing her instantly
The girl was about twelve years of
age, and had taken no part in the
row between her mother and stepfa-
ther. Singleton was overpowered
and brought to the county jail here
His fancy story of accidental killing
will not stand him in great stead
upon his trial upon the charge of
murder.

BUILDING A PARK AND
TOWN BY THE RIVER
New Resort Near AmeriCuS
is Assured.

Down near Flint River east of AM
ericus,, Messrs. J. S. Byron & Son,
who own vast realty interests on the
Crisp county side, are building a
beautiful park and in time will estab-
lish quite a little town nearby, the
park being accessible both from Am
ericus and Cordele as a picnic resort.
About twenty acres, including a hand
some grove of liveoaks, is being laid
out for park purposes and with drive
ways and serpentine walks will be
rendered most attractive to visitors.
In addition to the park this enterpris
ing firm is building a grist mill and
ginning plant at Clegg's Siding, a
few hundred yards away, and pur-
pose establishing a thrifty little town
there. A great deal of money is be-
ing expended in draining the lands
and rendering the surroundings al
together desirable, and soon this lit
tie park and resort will be the most
attractive spot on the Seaboard Rail-
way. 1t is just one mile east of
Flint River and two miles from Con-
ey, the first stop on the Crisp county
side

CREAMERY STOCK TAKEN.
BUILDING TO Be RUSHED
Subscribers Will Select Site
IOmOrrOW---Over 400
Cows Assured.

The last three shares for the new
creamery were placed yesterday, thus
assuring the new industry which
means so much to Americus and
surrounding territory. The total sub
scription is $4,000
= No delay will be permitted, and
next week work on the plant will be
begun. 1t is expected that the plant
will be ready for operation by Nov
l. AS soon as the building is near
enough done to house the machinery,
the apparatus will be shipped to Am
ericus. An expert dairyman will also
be employed, at salary of SIS per
month This is practically all of
the help needed
No site has been selected as yet,
though three sites have been tender
ed free of charge

ers-one man holding two shares
has been called for tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock in the City Hall for

Large Monthly Returns

In the two months and a half in
tervening before the creamery is
ready for operation the stockholders
VIII get their herds in shape, so that
they can obtain the fullest returns
possible.
Mr.. Williams stated yesterday that.
based on the achievements of other
creameries, that the men who fur
nished milk to the Americus cream
cry would receive from six to seven
thousand dollars each month in re-
turns.
Much credit is due Mr.. Lester
Williams, the representative of the
Chicago Building and Manufacturing
Company which handles creamery
outfits, for bringing the deal to a
successful conclusion. He came to
Amer1cus a week ago last Monday.
and by hard work interested enough
men in the scheme to make it a go.
others who were enthused by the
idea gave valiant aid, and made the
enterprise possible.

'"The best procedure seems to me

Subscribers Have 400 Cows


Nearly 400 COWS are owned by
the subscribers themselves, making
1t unnecessary to appeal to out
siders to provide milk for the plant.
Practically all of the COWS owned
by the subscribers will be at the
service of the creamery The capa-
city of the plant is about 500 COWS,
and the additional hundred will no
doubt be found to run the creamery
to its full capacity. 1t is calculated
that even with 100 COWS a dividend
Of per cent can be made, and with
400 or more, it is believed that a
dividend of Is to 20 per cent can be
easily earned.
At the present time something like
1907 pounds a week of butter made
at a plant built by the Chicago com
pany at Aurora, H., is being con-
sumed in Americus The retail price
ranges from 80 to 40 cents. This
butter can be supplied from the new
creamery cheaper than it can be
brought from Aurora. Thousands of
pounds of Elgin butter is shipped in
to Georgia every year, and no trouble
Whatever is anticipated in getting a
prompt market for every pound of
butter manufactured and at good
prices.

TO CHAPTERS ON
WIRz MONUMENT SITE
Mrs. j. {. Mathis Sees
Chance to Hold Up
Location.
Can the site of the wirz monument

Can the site of the Wirz monument
be changed from Andersonville?
In obedience to a mandate from the
last annual meeting of the U. d. G.
held at Augusta a committee of
which Mrs. j. e. Mathis, of Americus,
is chairman, selected a spot at An
dersOnVille some three hundred yards
from the station and on the opposite
side of the railroad from the old pris-
on The date set for the unVeiling
was Oct. 81, the day following the
adjournment of the next annual
meeting at Savannah the plan be-
ing for the members to go direct
from Savannah to Andersonville, via
Americus.
In order to change the date of the
unveilfng it will be necessary to get
the various chapters to authorize the
Executive Committee to postpone the
date, thus passing up the final decis-
ion on the location to the Savannah
meeting.
AS a starter, it is suggested that a
letter be prepared by the Board OF
Trade in conjunction with the Amer
icus Chapter, to be sent to the vari-
Gus chapters in time for their Sep
tember meeting, setting forth the
the reason why the site should be
changed from Andersonville to Am
ericus. A prompt reply from these
chapters after the meetings would be
received in time to anticipate any
preparations for the setting up of
the monument.
Another point to be considered is
that a few subscribers-not the
Columbus Chapter-contributed to a
monument AT Andersonville, and it
is possible that if the site was chang
ed they would want their money back.
Even if this should be done the de-
fcit would be promptly made good
locally.
Mrs j. E. Mathis, chairman of the
committee which selected the site and
President of Americus Chapter, said
yesterday regarding the proposed
change:

Always Favored Americus

''I have been in favor of Americus
all the time. Three years ago at
the Macon convention resolution
was adopted that a monument to
Capt Wirz should be erected at Ap-
dersonville This of course carried
the location with it, Some cOntribu-
tions to the fund were made on the
strength of AndersOnville being the
location for the monument. But gen
orally the contributions were merely
for a monument to WirZ. At the
next meeting at Americus it was
voted to put the monument here, but
on the next day an effort was made
to reconsider, but as many delega-
tions were broken up, it was decided
to leave the location TO the Augusta
meeting
There is a widespread prejudice
against Andersonville among the
Daughters, both in and out of the
state. Personally, | do not believe
it is wise to put the monument
there. One reason is that the monu-
ment is intended for. an object les
son. not to try to teach Northerners
correct Southern history, but to
teach Southern children the truth
about Wirz 1t would only arouse
antagonism at Andersonville At
Americus Southern children would
read the inscription and see that
Wirz is not the man he has been
painted An investigation would show
show that the inscription was true.
The more thoroughly Southern chill
dren learn the truth about Wirz the
better it is
At Andersonville there would
be no one to care for the monument,
anly only an iron railing and coping
to protect it, Here it would be
looked after and be an object les
son
