new BANK IN AMERICUS
WILL OPEN IN JULY
To Attest the Return of
Prosperity.

Americus is to have still another
banking house, which will open it's
doors about July 18th and which, in
advance, has the assurance of becom-
ing one of the most popular of the
several banks here and one of the
leading financial institutions of south
Georgia.
Such was the gratifying statement
given out yesterday.
Application for charter has not
yet been filed, and until this is done
the promoters of this latest enter
prise desire that their names and
business plans be withheld.
Public announcement thereof will
be made next week.
But all details have been arrang-
ed; the capital stock of $4,000 is
more than subscribed, and the new
financial institution will announce
ready for business in July with it's
Golfers well filled and the assurance
of an excellent line of depOsitors.
This statement also, was made yes
terday, and the names mentioned in
connection Herewith assured sue
| cess for the institution.
The new bank, which will be the
| fifth for Americus will operate under
| a state charter Men of ample means
are connected with it, and a general
| line of commercial business will
be done. Several influential farmers
are among the list of directors.
The establishment of this bank,
and the further fact that every share
of stock had been subscribed even
before announcement thereof was
| made, is an assurance of returning
| prosperity, and the dawn of an era
of still better times here in prosper
Gus Americus.
There is plenty of money seeking
investment here, and only a safe
and sane policy is required to induce
people to take hold. And this new
bank is evidence of that fact.

BIG PROFIT IN CANNING
FRUIT ON TIE FARM
AmeriCuS to Have Several
Such Plants.

The success with which fruit and
vegetables can be canned right at the
orchard here will result, no doubt in
the establishment of other canning
plants here next year; plants that will
utilize the entire output of orchards
which are now shipped away.
Such was the opinion expressed yes
terday by a local orchard man.
The peach belt is the logical place
for the establishment of canneries,
just as the cotton fields are the home
of the great cotton mills And Ameri-
Gus will have them.
At the Ware Co.'S great peach or
chard of 100000 trees, near Americus,
a canning plant has been established
and the entire output of that immense
orchard will be canned right within
the shadow of the trees. And it will
be done at fine profit
In fact, it is said that the Ware
Co. will ship little if any fruit in
carload lots, preferring rather to can
the peaches at the orchard
And what one large orchard can do,
others may do likewise.
The producer thus maintains entire
control of his crop, and instead of
shipping the peaches to distant mar
kets where he may or may not obtain
satisfactory returns he can thus pre-
serve it and sell it at his leisure as
the market demands.
One of the largest growers here, as
stated has the matter under advise
ment, and next season may witness the
erection of a cannery on his peach
farm that will put up 10000 cans of
peaches daily and utilize the output
of his orchard.
He thinks it decidedly more salts
factory to say nothing of the en-
hanced value of the fruit

REDS ARE SCALPED BY
AMERICUS IN HIGH ART
Indians Are Beaten, Score
IA to 4.

With the same ease and grace dis
played in cleaning up about all of the
other clubs tackled the Champs wal
loped the Cherokee team yesterday;
tomahawked the whole covey and
mopped up the wet ground with them
by a score of just IA to 4.
The Redskins were dead easy, and
the game from start to finish was
lopsided and uninteresting; so much
so, in fact, that the playing of the
Reds seemed almost a farce.
The Americus junior team could
easily scalp that bunch.
Up in the grandstand and in the
bleachers sat an audience of $50 or
600 enthusiastic spectators anticipat-
ing rafting game with the Reds,
and not a few of them were disgust
ed with the poor playing.
Bynum pitched for Americus and
struck out four of the braves, while
the Hon. White Cloud struck out
three of the local team.
The Reds were beaten at every
point and put up really punk game
as the score, IA to 4, would indicate.
What apparently pleased them most
was the size of the audience and the
gate receipts, of which they got a
generous rs per cent.
The game, upon the whole, was a
distinct disappointment The Amer
icus team played good ball, but it was
a sheer waste of energy.
The game last night, as expected,
drew record audience to the park.
The lighting effects were fairly good,
and many of those present really en-
joyed the novelty of a night game,
while the playing, as in the afternoon.
was of Indifferent character
Kiker and Dunn pitched this latter
game and did fine work as usual.
This game, like that of the after
noon. was we'll played by the Ameri-
Gus team despite the fact that they
were unaccustomed to night ball
The Reds played a trifle poorer than
in the afternoon and lost the game to
Americus by a score of 16 TO 8.
However, Americus will not adopt
night baseball as a regular diet

CENTRAL SHOPS ON
FULL TIME AGAIN
Better Conditions at Col
umbuS Significant.

The Central of Georgia is doing its
part towards returning prosperity by
starting all of it's shops on full time.
The road has shops at Savannah, Ma
con, Columbus and CedartOwn. By
this change the Central of Georgia
has increased it's operating expenses
in this department 35 per cent, which
amounts to a great deal both to the
road and the 600 men affected AL
so the motive power will be kept in
better shape and perhaps engines
which have been somewhat run down
because of a lack of repairing force
will be put in first class shape.
Until the last few weeks all of the
railroads have had plenty of cars and
motive power to handle the slack bus
mess, but since then conditions have
assumed a different aspect. The Cen
trail of Georgia at an increase of 35
per cent in the payrolls of its shops
has been compelled to put more cars
and engines on the rails. AS all the
road in Georgia are doing more busi-
ness than they did month ago it is
thought the step taken by the Cen
tral will be the means of urging some
of the other officials to do likewise.
The Central of Georgia has an
nounced that it's shops at Columbus
will be put back on a 9-hour a day
basis at once, with six days in the
week work. Work on the new shops
at Macon has already been resumed.
In an account of the increased time
at Columbus, the Enquirer-Sun says:
THE news that such a telegram
had been received, directing that the
machine shops work longer hours, and
six days in the week, instead of five,
spread among the railroad men yes
terday afternoon and caused much
rejoicing.
Heretofore the Centrals shops here
have been operating only five days of
the week, eight hours day, and the
new arrangement, which goes into eff
feet at once, amounts to a substan-
tial increase in the time of employees
Of the shops.
The incident is only one of many
these days, indicating the return of
normal business conditions"

The city and county tax books will
close ten days hence with a large list
of delinquents, as property owners are
exceedingly slow in making their re-

but hundreds of others have failed to
attend to this important matter, thus
leaving it to the tax assessors to ap-
praise their holdings Both Tax Re
ceiver w. R. Speer and City Clerk T.
N. Hawkes. have published words of
warning to delinquents, and while a
few have needed the call hundreds of
others have neglected it altogether
The books will be closed June 31st.

their tax returns will be doubled-tax-
ed, as the law directs.

CAR HITS A TRUCK
Workman Riding on Wagon Is
Instantly Killed in
Collision.

Trying to save a walk TO his place OF
employment caused an unidentified
workman to meet his death at Worth
and Centre streets at : A. NJ. to-day. A

lifted in the air, so great was the force
OF the collision. and the man seated on
the tail was hurled fifteen feet into tho
