REPORT ON THE FRUIT
CROP WILL BE MADE
Commission Will Handle
the Matter.

In order to assure in advance a
safe, adequate and expeditions hand
ling of Georgia's forthcoming peach
crop, the Railroad Commission de-
cided to call upon all the railroads in
the state for report as to what in
formation they had received as to
the extent of the crop and also what
steps had been taken to meet the
demands for transportation.
These reports from the various
roads, together whit other informa-
ton, it is to keep in close and con-
tinual touch with the situation.
The reports will be repeated semi
monthly from now until the crop has
been marketed. They will contain
detailed statements as to the number
and placing of cars and the demands
for cars. In this way the peach
growers and the general public may
be protected against the delay and
loss which has frequently marked the
handling of the crop.
Reports from the Americus fruit
districts will be made promptly, as
often as required.

The listing of six ball games yes

LEWIS OPPOSES MILLION
DOLLAR BILL IN HOUSE
GEORGIA MEMBER OBJECTS TO PAYMENT or UNJUST CLAIM TO
NEGROES BUT URGES THAT SOUTHERN FARMERS BE PAID
$5S,OOOO 900 FOR TnER COMlSCATED COTTON

Congressman E. B. Lewis, ranking
Democratic member of the House
committee on banking and currency,
is strenuously opposing a bill which
provides that 100000 be given to
the depostors of the Freedman's
Bank. Mr.. Lewis is fortunate in
being the minority leader of this
committee, to which has been refer
red the bill, which has already passed
the Senate, and can do more effective
work against the measure than any
other member of the House.
In addition to being opposed to the
gift of this million to the negro de-
positors of this bank, Mr. Lewis points
out that the claims of the Southern
cotton growers for $58,000,00 in
cotton taxes which the Supreme Court
of the United States had held was
illegally collected, is still withheld
from the planters of Georgia and
other Southern states.
Another ten millions is being with
held from Georgia and other Sou
thern states, proceeds of captured
property, which has also been held
to be retained unjustly.
The Atlanta Constitutions Wash
ington correspondent says of Con-
gressman Lewis attitude:
Representative Lewis, of Georgia,
the ranking democratic member of

LIBRARY is ASLEEP IN
ARMS OF THE COUNCIL
Bantling May Never Wake
Again.

The Americus Library Association
directors held their regular monthly
meeting yesterday afternoon. There
was a goodly attendance of directors
and much interest was manifested in
the affairs Of this old and excellent
institution
Miss Virginia Gum was elected per-
manent librarian, and is already dis
charging satisfactorily her pleasant
duties there.
Affairs of the library were reported
|. in excellent condition.
No further action was taken by the
directors in regard to the Carnegie Lii
brary offer, in view Of the fact that
the proposition is now squarely up to
the city council to accept or reject Mr..
Carnegies offer of $4,000 for q, free
library
This proposition has been before
the city authorities since April 23rd,
more than three weeks, with no def
mite action taken except to refer it to
some committee
And this committee can do nothing
more than it has done and reported
upon already
The Library Association has gener-
ously agreed to donate it's valuable
library property here as a building
site for the Carnegk Library, and Mr.
Carnegie stands ready to mail his
check for $4,000 for the building,
when the council will accept it.
In the meantime the matter is still
hung up on space, awaiting to see
just what the city council is going to
do about it.

government now has in it's vaults
some $5S,0o0OO0 of cotton taxes
which sum the supreme court of the
United States has held was illegally
collected from the southern planter
and manufacturer, during and just af-
ter the civil war This money does
not belong to the government and by
every consideration of honor and JUS
tice should be returned to the men
from whose pockets it was wrestled
by means of an unconstitutional law
Moreover there is in the national
treasury $10,000,000 of money repre-
senting the proceeds of captured and
abandoned property which the high
est judicial tribunal of the country
has held is retained without cause An
amount equal to this sum has al
ready been returned, by the jurisdic-
ton of the court of claims before more
than half the claims were adjudicated.
Despite every effort to have it's juris-
diction extended, this has not yet
been done.
While this money is retained in
the treasury, while this honest debt
of the government remains unsatis
fed, while a fund of nearly $70,000,-
600 to which Uncle Sam is not en-
titled is held in his strong boxes, Mr.
Lewis can see no justification for
yielding to sentimental plea and
appropriating $1,00O,0O0 of the peo-
pies money to settling the accounts
of the Freedman's Savings and I'm

COMP ANY Is TRYING TO
GARRY MEN TO CAMP
Trouble Has Developed in
Some Gases.

The Americus Light Infantry viii
leave on Friday night for the an.
nual encampment at Fort Screven;
but with what strength has not yet
been determined 1t is very essential
that the company attend with ranks
we'll filled.
But will the men be permitted to
thus attend?
Captain Van Ripper is fearful OF
trouble upon this point, as some oil
the merchants having the young men
in their employ hesitate at letting
them attend
Very naturally an employe working
upon a salary does not wish to go con
trary to the wishes of his employer
and in an instance of this kind il
would seem that employers would ex-
tend every leniency and consideration
possible
Business is very quiet at this time
and surely it would seem that a
salesman or other employe could read
lily be excused.
Of course the state authorities can
command the attendance at camp
of every member of the company, but
it is hoped that this unnecessary or
der may be avoided by leniency upon
the part of merchants here.
The business men of Americus re-
cognize the absolute necessity OF
maintaining this military organiza-
ton, but it cannot be done success
fully if unnecessary impediments are
put in the way of enlisted men in
obeying official orders.
Capt. Van Ripper will call upon
employers of his men to this end
and hopes to have their cooperation
in attending the encampment with
full ranks.
