And, further, it is assumed
that whoever is once a hired
laborer Is fixed In that condition

prudent, penniless beginner in the
world labors for wages awhile,
saves a surplus with which to
buy tools or land for himself,
then labors on his own account
for another while, and at length
hires another new beginner to
help him. This is the just and
generous and prosperous system
which opens the way to all

For the purpose of finally closing
the deal for the sale of the Americus
Illuminating Company's gas and
electric light plants to the Americus
Railway & Light Company, Mr.
Thos. Harold, representing the ow-
ners of the plant, accompanied by

news will be received that the pa
pers have been signed, the money
paid, and the sale finally completed
More than a week ago the stocks
and bonds of the old company were
forwarded by express to the Philadel-
phia capitalists, and the trip of Mr..
Harold is for the purpose of putting
the finishing touches on the owners
side of the proposition. The pur-
chasers are ready to take over the
properties Immediately.
Within five days after this deal
is closed up finally, it is promised
that a day current will be ready,
and that Americus will be enjoying
this long sought boon Also the price
of gas and electric lights and power
will be very materially reduced.

HORSES TO TROT ON
AMFRICUS' NEW TRACK
Owners of Speedy NagS Are
Pleased.

Satisfactory progress is being
made in the building of the new driv-
ing park and half mile track of the
Americus driving club, and the park
will be finished in ample time to
permit of some good stunts in
speeding in the fall Quite recently
several horse-owners have come
here to look at the track, and even
in its incomplete state they prom
ounce it a good one and calculated to
be made one of the best in the state.
The track will also be used as an
automobile speedway, and not few
good races of that nature will be ar
ranged during the fall season. The
new driving park is within the city
limits and easily of access and some
good sport will be had there within
a few weeks now Later in the year,
or early spring, the club proposes
having an exhibition of we'll bred
colts and to offer prizes for the best
Youngsters. Many fine colts are
bred in Sumter, one progressive
farmer owning twenty or more, while
others here own fine specimens of
diminutive hOrsefiesh.

MUCH PROPERTY
ESCAPES A TAX
Board of Trade Will Ask
Law S Amendment.

At the regular meeting of the Board
of Trade held Tuesday night, it was
decided to ask the Legislature to am
end the law which provides that
the county appraisers sit only during
the session of the grand jury. The
Board will ask Sumter's representa-
tives to propose an amendment to the
law which shall provide that the ap-
praisers continue in session until the
work is finished.
President Allen told of his service
on this board at one time, and how
the BIS were not completed as they
should be done before the Grand
Jury was about to adjourn He also
stated that in one Georgia city two
men proposed to ferret out all the
property liable for taxation, which
was not being assessed, provided they
were allowed one years taxes as a
reward. Several thousand dollars
were cleared by the scheme,
1t was the sentiment of the Board
of Trade that with all property re-
turned, that the tax rate would BE-
lowered for everybody. With the
amendment suggested, the members
who expressed themselves We're of the
opinion that the present amount of
property returned would be greatly
increased.

Street Committee Directs
Engineer to Proceed.

Property owners who have ignored
the city's orders to lay sidewalks were
up for consideration in the City Coun-
Gil last night, and as result the
Street Committee will instruct the
City Engineer to proceed at once to
lay the necessary sidewalks at the
expense Of the abutting real estate
One offender was named, and then
another and another, until the express
sions Of members showed that it was
their belief that all who had been
notified for the proper time and had
not put down the sidewalks, should
be made to toe the mark.
A resolution was introduced, but
Mayor Hawkins stated that the Street
Committee could order the City En-
gineer to lay the sidewalks, and the
resolution was withdrawn.
A resolution was adopted ordering
the Central to lay sidewalks leading
to the roads railroad station.

While the petition of Mr.. H. J..
Bagley to open soft drink establish
ment was up before the City Council
last night, the somewhat surprising
fact was developed that the dealers
of soft drinks We're at present operat-
ing without license, and were there
fore amenable to the city ordinance
At the previous session of the
City Council a license fee of $50 for
dealers in soft drinks was fixed, the
veloped last night that no application
should be made in regular form to
the City Council for a license. 1t de-
veloped last night that an application
had been filed with Clerk Hawkes.,
except that of Mr.. Bagley.
Chief Pagan, who was present, was
notified to see if there were any vio-
lations of the law and instructed to
take action accordingly.
The petition of Mr.. Bagley was
granted, on condition that he pay the
required license fee.

letter yesterday from Senator Dean

trouble in passing the bill" wrote
Senator Dean. He further stated that
the bill would come up next week
Immediately following the passage
Of this bill, Mr.. Dodson stated that
his company would file a bond for
s25 900 with the city for the carrying
ont of the contract in all of its de-
tails. including the street railway.
The only open question will be the
date to be fixed for the completion OF
the street railway.
About the present bond there is
some difference of opinion, but
about the new bond there can be
none. The new company is anxious
to furnish this bond, and is only
waiting for the action of the Georgia
legislature which will give them the
right to operate a gas company. This
bill passed the senate at the last
session, and has been recommended
bv the house committee for passage.
IT is now upon it's third reading, and
next week will no doubt become a

AmeriCuS is a Warm Number
Yesterday.

Did you realize that the weather
was warm yesterday? Several peo-
pie here did, and commented upon
the fact perspiringly. In fact, no
warmer number has been shown
upon the calendar this summer. AT
the noon hour the heat seemed in
tense, and with not the semblance OF
a breeze to vary the monotony. Even
at o'clock there was no reduction
in temperature. The thermometer re-
gistered 95 in the shade at that hour
while another thermometer hanging
in the sun three feet away from the
first one registered 104 degrees. And
as we are out in the high-speed, red
hot caloric endured. Later in the
afternoon thunderstorm served
to reduce the temperature some
what, but the day as whole proved

TO REFUSE A CHARTER
FOR TEMPLE IN MACON
Mobiles of Shrine Here In
tereSted.

Americus Shriners are deeply in
terested in the fight being waged at
the imperial council in session in st.
Paul this week relative to the issuing
of a charter for the establishment of
a shrine at Macon. Mr.. Crawford
Wheatley of Americus, who opposes
the Macon chapter, and Mr.. Ernest A.
Cults, imperial potentate of Alec
Temple of Savannah, which strenu-
ously opposes the Macon movement,
are both in st. Paul in attendance
upon the national conclave. A wire
from Mr.. Cults to Savannah shrin-
ers announced that the Imperial
Council had declined to grant the
charter for a proposed new shrine in
Macon. Amerieus shriners belong to
Alec Temple of Savannah, and a
majority of them oppose the Macon
movement, preferring to continue their
connection with the Savannah bunch.
If Macon should be granted char
ter, and shrine set up there, the
Americus mobiles would have to aftili-
ate Herewith, instead of with Alec
Temple. There are but two shrines
in the state; Yaraab of Atlanta and
Alec of Savannah. The Atlanta
shriners favored the movement for
a third shrine at Macon, which Saw
annah has fought so bitterly upon
the ground, largely, that the local
shrine would lose in membership, as
in the separation of the Americus
contingent and others in southern
Georgia now belonging to Alec Tenn

THE FIRST WITH MACON
is WON BY CHAMPS
Bynum is the Bully Boy

up with Manager Conner's near

first of the series of two games. By

occupy the rife pit, while Conner PIN
ned his hopes to Houser, a Gresham

A large crowd (as is always the
case) filled grandstand and bleachers
to witness the fray and they were not
disappointed.
Houser, first man up for the visit
ors VISA patient and drew four bad
ones, Wright hit to third, safe on
error, Moore singled, scoring Houser.
The next three were easy cuts, By
mum tanning two out of the three
Americus did nothing in their first.
In the fifth, with three on bases,
Wright hit a beauty to left and Con-
ner crossed the rubber, score two to
nothing, against the Champs, and
thingsg looked gloomy.
Nothing doing for either side until
the ninth when "The Americus Root
ers Association" put a lot of hot air
into circulation and things looked
better
Bynum, first man up, singled over

first, Wheatley, who sometimes con-
meets with double force, sent a ter
rifle drive to center, which was good
for two sacks, Bynum going to third.
Ansley hit long fly to center which
Malone, evidently Understanding
Ansley, dropped, and Bynum scored.
Two and one, favor Macon, but they
still had two cuts and 1.-TWO outs" and

Watkins famed, Shipley hit to CEN
ter and Wheatley and Ansley romped
home, winning the prettiest game
played here this season.
The feature of this game was the
pitching of Bynum, who also hit
we'll, his single starting the run get
ting which won the game.
No one expected such a good game
of him, as he got fearful lick on his
salary whip in the Champ Tiger
game.
Shipley was the hitting kid, get
ting two singles, one which won the
game, besides being robbed of two
others. G. D. Wheatley also played a
star game, getting two hits out of
three times up, besides making the
run that won the game.

BIG PEACH CROP
NEARLY GONE
Central Will Exhaust Ter
ritOry in 10 Days

Georgia's biggest peach crop will
soon be a thing of the past, it being
estimated that in ten days the ship
ping season will practically be over
all over the state.
In making this the banner year,
Sumter county has done a good part.
This is the first year that Americus
has cut much figure as a peach grow
ing center, but this territory landed
strong
The statistics of the Central, show
ing the peach movement up to mid
night of July 13, with the statistics
for 1907, are here given;
To July IA, 1907 :. =. :, =. 400 cars
To July IA, 1908 =, =. :. ..3,S14 cars
Opened and Closed Early
Appearing ten days ahead of time
and closing fifteen days ahead of
time, the peach crop Of 1908 has
proven banner one. Splendid
weather, no late frosts and all round
good conditions influenced those in
touch with the fruit industry to pre-
dict an unusual season, but none
predicted a season anything like
that enjoyed
The figures given out by the Cen
trail do not represent the entire crop
Of 10
railroads which handle the fruit
movement show the same good year.
The Central is the largest fruit
handling railroad in the state. 1t
not only handles over half of the
canteloupes and watermelon crops
but handles about two-thirds of the
peach crop It's lines run through
the heart of fruit districts.
Canneries Absorh Part
Altogether the railroads of Georgia
have handled nearly 1000 carloads
of peaches, but even this does not
represent the entire output. All over
the state fruit canneries have been
erected, and it is considered at least
one-fifth of the crop has gone into
the canneries.
Americus has been greatly helped
by it's new cannery.
Georgians have just realized the
possibilities of the canning industry
and more attention has been paid to
it than ever before The entrance
of Georgians into the canning field
was an auspicious one The big fruit
crops left a wide field for the can
neries and all of The concerns have
come out ahead,
