BIGGEST PEACH CROP
YET FOR CENTRAL
AmeriCuS District Has SwOI-
len Gar Orders.

The Central of Georgia is prepar-
ing to handle a larger number Of
cars of peaches this season than it
has ever handled before This in
crease is due largely to the great
strides in the peach raising industry
in the Americus district.
An order for 2,735 refrigerator cars
has just been placed by the Central.
The largest number needed hereto
fore was 2,213 cars in 1904 These
cars will be obtained from Armour
& Co. A few weeks ago a represen-
tatiVe of this company was in Ameri-
custo look after the probable require
ments of this section. :
The movement is expected to start
about June 10, though a few car
loads will doubtless be shipped before
that date
The early shipments will go chiefly
to Eastern markets, though Chicago
will come in for a good share later
The new cannery will use the over
ripe or second grade peaches, thus
saving all of the crop to the growers
The following is the number of re-
frigerator peach cars used by the Cen
trail for the six years:
1903-653 carloads.
1904-2,213 carloads.
1861 ,339 carloads
1906-1,6S carloads.
1907-953 carloads.
1908-2735 carloads

AMERICUS GETS
ANOTHER $4,000
For Enlargement of Pro-
posed Building.

Americus is down for an additional
$4,000 III the public buildings bill
reported in the House yesterday af-
ternoOn.
The following appropriations were
made for additions and enlargement
of Federal buildings in Georgia: Am
ericus $50, 1000; Rome $20,000; Athens
$4,000; Marietta $4,000; Augusta
$10,000 Gainesville $4,000.
Congressman Lewis was also able
to have incorporated in the bill an
appropriation of $50 900 for a build
ing and site for CQrdele.
All doubt which any one may have
entertained for the additional money
for Americus has been removed, as
the passage of the bill is practically
certain.
OF the original appropriation Of $780,
OOO, there is left, after purchasing the
splendid site near the Windsor no.
tel, $4,000, for the building This,
added to the $25,00 in the present
bill, will give a total of 100000 for
the new edifice. This will provide a
very creditabie Government building,
especially if materials are purchased
before the expected rise in this line
takes place.
The first thing will be to modify
the plans, which have been ready for
some time on the basis of an eXpendi-
ture Of $4,000. Just how long it
will take the departments craftsmen
to get around to the Americus build.

SNAKE is KILLED IN
HEART OF THE CITY
Reptile Found at FriCker' S
Front Door.

That Americus can "see snakes
even upon a cold water treatment was
evidenced last night when snake
was killed at the front door of James
Fricker & Bros jewelry store, about
the last place on earth where one
would expect to see snakes. Ernest
Tullis spied the wiggling reptile and
obeyed the biblical injunction of
bruising the serpent's head Not
very long ago a snake of like size was
killed in the vestibule of the Rylander
Shoe Co., three doors away from
Fricker's, the scene of last nights
exciting encounter The supposition
is that the snakes were raised in the
basement of some store in that vicin-
ity, and probably others still will come
to the surface.

BACK TO THE HAYFIELD
WENT THE TIFTONS
The AIfaIfdS Given Second
Drubbing.

Convinced that bal1-playing was not
their calling, the Triton team should
cred their second drubbing at the
hands of Americus yesterday and
sadly treked back to the tall pines
where the whangdoodle whangs and
where farm labor is in demand.
r. 1t was sad trip going back, with
two lickings to explain away to the
hay-makers at home, trusting rustics
who fooliShly fancied their bunch
could play baseball.
For conceit was knocked out of the
covey when Americus shut them out
in score Of six to cipher.
For some unaccountable reason
word was sent here that the Tifton-
ians were terrors with the bat and
had never known defeat. Americus
wondered at this, but pulled her lit
tie team together and went out to
give the terrors the best she had in
the shop.
And what she gave them was the
blow that caused fathers funeral.
In the first game Americus won
rather easily, and at the same time
lost her stage fright for the visitors
The second game was played yester-
day in whirlwind style and with such
effect that none of the hay-raisers
ever got as far as third base, even.
O'Quinn, their champion, pitched
the game, but to find his balls was
like looking into Christmas stock
ing after Santa Claus had gone.
Ansley pitched for Americus, and
fairly startled the alfalfa boys.
With the simple ease of taking an
ice cream cake from an infant Ansley
struck out sixteen of the primary
grade of ball-players, and only
gave up one hit, in the 9th.
Several hundred spectators enjoy
ed the game, one-sided though it was
from start to finish. The visitors
took their drubbing good-naturedly
end even Manager Walton, who kicked
so vigorously and broke up the first
game, hadn't a kick to make yester-
day.
Following is the summary of the
second game with Tifton:
Struck out by E. OQuinn z, L. o.
Quinn 8, by Ansley 16. Stolen bases
Bynum, Dunn, Wheatley, Lamar 2.
Hale, Hooks. 8 base hits Wheatley E..

MEATH SHADE OF OAKS
A FEAST is SPREAD
Mrs. Hooks is Hostess at
Gala Event.

The matrOns of Americus have long
been famous for their unbounded hos
pitaIity and beautiful entertainments,
but never have they been SO unani-
nous in appreciation, and more enthu-
siastic in praise than they were over
the day spent at the ideal country
home of Mrs Thomas Hooks on We'd
nesday last.
The occasion was in the ma
ture of a barbecue, given in honor of
the ladies of the Fortnightly Club.
Including the members of the club,
there were one hundred and twenty
five guests, matrons and young lad
les
On arrival the hostess invited the
guests upstairs, where hats were
removed and each was made to feel
comfortable and at home
Then they were led into the yard
where refreshing punch and lemon
ade was served under a vine-cOvered
shelter Throughout the day string
band made delightful music, and not
a dull moment was spent.
At / o'clock the dinner horn SCUM
ed, and in the back yard, on a long
table, the entire length of which was
in the shade of over-hanging trees
was spread such feast as has seldom
been surpassed anywhere.
The gentlemen present served as
walters for the ladies who hundred
strong, surrounded the entire length
of the table. Barbecue, hot medium
and ''soft" hash and Brunswick stew
pickles, olives, and tomatoes, hot cof-
fee and ice tea, cakes of every des-
cription.
In fact, a feast of every good thing
which could be desired
The crowd was thoroughly in har-
mony with the spirit of the day, each
one in happy, holiday humor, each
trying to aid the charming hostess in
making the day a perfect success.
And all pronounced it a grand and
unrivaled gala day in the social cal
endar of Americus
