EIGHT BROTHERS AND
SISTERS GA TO So.
Ages of DeLOach Family, BuIlOch
County, Total 800 Years.

There are living in Bulloch county
eight brothers and sisters whose COM
bined ages aggregate more than 600
years. They are the DeLoaches, who
are among the most widely known
families of Georgia.
Taken in order of age, the living
members of the family are:
Mrs Erving Rogers, 8S.
j. Hoyt DeLoach, &C.
Bill H. DeLoach, 80.
Mrs. William Williams, rs.
Mrs. Allen Mikell, 20.
Mrs. J. w. Roach, 68.
r. w. DeLoach, &c.
Y. T. DeLoach, "a.
These ages added equal 500, but al
lowing for the fractions of years to
which each is entitled, the total is in
excess of 600 years.
The father of this family was John
("Jakie'O DeLoach, who was born in
Bulloch county in 1896, and who lived
here all his life. There were in all
thirteen children, all of whom reached
the age of manhood and womanhOOd.
Two brothers were killed in the Con-
federate army, and one other, J. C. De-
Loach, formerly tax collector of Bull
loch county, died six years ago, above

Washington, Aug. 26.-Steps are be-

ocratic and have no idea that he will

MEETING OF LADIES IN

If assurance was needed Of the de

nights and two matinees, throughout
the next week, will select unusually
fine moving pictures, with frequent

wise lend to the success of the occa-
sion.
A detailed program of opening night
-Monday-will be published Sunday.
Each performance will be rep1ete

STREET Is BEING MADE
ONE AMONG THE BEST
Avenue to East AmeriCuS
Being Built

When City Engineer Stallings com
pletes the work upon Forsyth street
now we'll nuder way, the city will
have broad and wellnigh level ave
nue. leading from the business centre
straight to the heart of East Ameri~
Gus, a street of which every citizen
will feel proud as well they may.
From the Confederate monument to
Mayo street, distance of nearly 4
mile, it is as straight as an arrow,
and is now being graded and granite
curbed its length.
Mr.. Crawford Wheatley, with an ex-
ira street force under the direction of
Supt. McGarrah, made a boulevard Of
Crawford avenue, the eastern end of
Forsyth street, from Mayo in the di-
rection Of the business centre.
The city street force has taken up
the work from the courthouse corner
and will improve Forsyth to the point
where it enters Crawford avenue, thus
making one lOng-continued street Of
Forsyth. Hills are being reduced to
a grade and all the low places filled
in it's length
There will be no handsomer street
in Americus when Forsyth is thus
completed.
The Improvement of this important
highway to East Americus will add
thousands of dollars to the value of
property along the line, and at the
same time give to the city what it has
long needed-a street to East Ameri-

SEASON OF EARLY CLOSING
MAY CLOSE WITH TODAY.
AmericuS Stores May Remain Open
Later Now.

Americus merchants may end the
o'clock early closing season after to-
day, as the time limit has about eX-
pired and the busy season of early fall
is fast approaching In the written
agreement entered into by the bust
ness houses here in May no date was
fixed for it's expiration, but it was
generally understood that September
1st would mark the discontinuance of
the closing agreement. AS tomorrow
is Saturday, when the stores will re-
main open anyway, and but two days
of August remain in next week, it is
quite likely that majority of the
stores will "cut it out" after today.
The agreement has been rigidly OBJ
served, by those signing it, through
out the dull summer season.

COTTON Is BURNING UP:
YIELD WILL BE SMALL
Prospect in Sumter Is Dis
treSSing.
Crop Estimate Lowered
33 Percent on Many
Farms

Farmers coming to Americus yes
terday told of the distressing effect
of the burning, blistering drought OF
the past two Or three weeks upon the
cotton crop, now withering under an
August sun that is playing havoc with
the fine prospect of full crop, as
existed here several weeks ago.
Many of those who have travelled
over the county recently estimate
the reduction as from oue-third to
half, and figure on a smaller crop,
even, than last year
On many farms every boil has
opened, and as there will be no others
to follow, it is but a matter of time
when the pickers get over these fields
and gather the entire crop at only
one or two pickings.
The intense heat and drought has
caused all small bolls to open prema-
turely, or drop from the stalk. In
several localities this is the real situ-
alton, thus precluding all possibility
of top crop" And this condition
appears to be the rule in Sumter
rather than the exception.
Rain at this late date would not
help the cotton crop at all.
In q few localities whore rains were
propittous the crop prospect is bet
ter, but these sections are few and
far between.
The heavy receipts at Americus
warehouses during the past few days
tells the story Of devastation in the
cotton fields, Already more than q
900 bales have been marketed here to
date, and the local receipts by the
last of August will easily reach $500
bales, it is said
This is the result of rapid opening
of the crop from the effects Of
drought. NeFnalecofIditions prevail
ing, probably 1000 bales would have
been maEketed in August. One far
mer stated yesterday that another
picking would harvest every boil that
will mature on his plantation.
This remarkable change has come
about within two weeks, and tells a
tale of disaster of the farms in sum
ter County.

AGAIN THE PROMISE OF
A ROAD TO AMtRICUS
Company Will Build the
Interurban.
Macon to Atlanta, and
Macon to Americus
and Albany.

To Americus comes again the abso-
lutte assurance that the interurban
railway from Macon to Americus and
, Albany will be built beyond a shadow
of doubt, as will also the equally i'm
i portant interurban line from the
! Central City to Atlanta, thus afford
ing to all South Georgia a splendid
! through service of thirty-minute
schedules or an hour at the MOS to
the capital.
President Massee, it is said, has
just consummated with New York
capitalists the final details that will
bring to Georgia the money for this
big enterprise.
Important legislation affecting the
proposed railway was put through by
the recent legislature
Now that the business men whose
money is at stake are satisfied, the
work will be done as rapidly as posi-
bic, and it is almost certain that the
line from Macon to Atlanta will be
in operation within a short period af-
ter the immence power plant at Lloyd
Shoals is ready
1t will hardly be twelve months be-
fore the cars are in operation, if plans
now already laid, meet with no OBJ
struction
The right of way has already been
secured from Atlanta to Albany. The
franchise rights in both Atlanta and
Macon are secured, provided the city
councils in these cities do not go back
on the company for lapse of time. In
the intermediate towns and municipal
tiles the work has been completed
and there is nothing to do but to go
to digging when the capital is turned
loose.
1t is said President Massee's trip
to New York this time will mean the
cutting away of every obstacle as to
bringing the money here, and if he
has accomplished his purpose the
work will be started at once 1t is
certain that he is eager to get to
work and as soon as he has the word, |
nothing will delay.
Americus will hail with delight the |
advent of the interurban as the great
developer of this magnificent portion |
of the Empire State.
