AMERICUS PEOPLE IN BUILDING
Guests of Hotel Tybee Which Was
Burned Yesterday

Several Americus people who went
upon the excursion to Savannah the
past week were guests of Hotel Ty-
bee when the immense building went
up in flames at o'clock yesterday
morning. Several of the excursion
lists returned here yesterday after
noon and told of the huge fire, the
most destructive that Tybee has known
in many years. The fire occurring at
such an hour, o'clock in the morn
ing, it is a miracle that all of the
several hundred sleeping guests es-
capped with their lives. The building
is a landmark of Savannah, and many
here who have spent pleasant hours
at Hotel Tybee regret its destruction.
One of the owners of the property is
VIII Keene of Oglethorpe and wide
ly known here, as over the State.

HOTFL Az TYBFE is
A AA/HfAP OF ASHES
Fire Stated in Building at
3 O'clock Yesterday.

Special to Times -RecorderD
Savannah, Ga, July 31.-Hotel Ty-
bee was reduced to ashes shortly af-
ter three o'clock this morning.
Nearly a hundred guests in the
hotel made their escape, the majority
OF them saving their belongings. Many
of them were in their night clothes.
The entire structure was in ashes
at 4:30 O'Clock and a force of men re-
inforced by the county chaingang
were endeavoring TO save the cottages
adjoining the hotel.
1t was said the fire started in the
power house and spread rapidly. The
dining room caught next and in a
few minutes the big frame structure
was in flames.
The hotel burned like tinder, and
famed by ocean breezes was in an
ncreditable short time reduced to
ashes.
The pavilion and bath houses were
burned and the attention Of the cot
.tagers and others on the island were
directed towards saving the cottages.
The county cbaingang force on the
island was pressed into service and
did valiant work in saving surround
ing property.
A special train bringing the guests
of the hotel to the city left the island
at 4:30 o'clock.
The hotel is the property of Stubs
and Keene and has enjoyed an un-
usually successful season. A num-
Der of south Georgians were guests OF
the hotel.

Americus bids fair TO become an
important market for the sale of Gu
ban and Sumatra leaf tobacco since
the growth Of the plant here has been
tried successfully, not one season but
during the past three years. This
season the tobacco fields near the
city are indeed most IuXuriant.
The picture shown above is that Of
q tobacco field on the plantation Of
the Ware-Progress Orchard Co. where
tobacco growing is successfully con-
Quoted.
This particular field is the Cuban
leaf tobacco, used principally as ci-
gar filler. and is worth from 80 cents
to rs cents per pound. The cigar

co. also grown by the Ware-Progress
Co. and is worth from 81 to So per

COUNCIL is GOING TO
COLLECT BACK TAXES
| arge Sums Are OutStand-
ing Still.
Long Immunity is Given
Delinquents and the
Money is Needed.

When the City Council meets on
next Wednesday night a resolution
will probably be introduced directing
the Finance Committee to prepare,
or have prepared, statement show
ing the amount Of money that is due
the city from all sources, and more
especially from delinquent taxes.
This will probably be the first step
toward resuming the movement for
municipal lighting plant
Aldermen favorine such plant
stated yesterday that they wanted de
finite intelligence as to what the
city had actually owing to it in the
shape Of taxes OF all kinds
I'VE have reason to believe there
is a considerable amount of money
due the city from various sources and
we want to know exactly how much
it is and who owes it, said an Al
derman in discussing the matter 1--WE
understand there is unpaid taxes or
realty and personally running back
over several years.
1--WE may be mistaken in this, but
anyway we want to know positively.
'We believe the time has come for
statement to Council showing who
owes the city money, how much each
person owes, what he owes it for,
and why it has not been collected.
We will be right on to the business
season in a matter of three or four
weeks now, by the time the report is
presented and can be acted on.
'The collection of these taxes should
be pressed. Other cities do not grant
year after year immunity, even
though the execution does bear inter
est. What we want is the money
that is due"
rs it the idea to push the collec-
tions at once?" he was asked.
just as soon as business condi-
tions in the fall will permit, the de-
linQuent taxes should be collected
That is the only proper way to run the
city government.
But anyway we want to know
where we stand, whether there is not
a considerable amount of gilt edged
assets against the liabilities OF the
city. We have not had any state
ments covering these things from
the finance committee in two years,
anyway, and while they may know
the rest of Council doesn't know ex-
actly the status of the city in this
respect.
That is the first step to be taken
toward getting municipal affairs in
the condition they should be in. to
know, positively exactly what is due
the city"

CANNERY HAS FINISHED SEASO7
Americus Plant Is Packing Up Its
Product

After a short but busy season, the
Americus canning plant, owned by
Baltimore packers and under man,
agement of the Messrs. LangreIl. has
closed down, the supply of fruit hav-
ing been exhausted. Owing to the
great scarcity of good peaches, due
to the short crop here, the output of
the Americus plant this season is
only about half that of last year
when the number of cans ran up
near the half million mark. Local or
chards supplied but a small portion
of the peaches required for the can
ming plant, and the fruit was bought
largely in the Fort Valley district
and shipped to Americus in carload
lots. Down at the store houses of
the company large forces are now en-
pl0yed in preparing the canned peach
es for market. putting on the labels
and packing the cans in cases for
shipment. The industry is an i'm
portant one and gives employment to
several hundred operatives during
the canning season.

THREE BIG GAMES ARE
ON LIST FOR WEEK
CedartOwn Is Coming Here
Monday.

The Champs will go up against the
strongest aggregation of amateurs in
north Georgia this week when the
Cedartown team comes here tomor
row for a series Of three games
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
and from all reports local balldom
will sit up and take notice
1t is hoped they will sit up and
take three games as we'll, but this
yet remains to be seen.
The coming Of the Cedartown bunch
has been anticipated for some time,
and Americus fans are promised the
fastest and best ball here since the
Atlanta Athletics played a series of
three good games.
And the fact that Cedartown beat
the Athletics is evidence of their
ability upon the diamond.
Their last game was with the An
niston, Ala. team, at Cedartown on
Friday. when they trimmed the Ala
bamians in a score of to 1. In the
first game with Admission that team
won in a score of 1 to 0, eleven in
nings being required to decide the hot
contest between the two
The game was pitchers battle be-
tween Rowe, of Admission, and Hogg,
of Cedartown. Both pitched swell
ball. The feature of the game was
the batting of Burgess for Cedartown,
who got four hits out of five times at
bat-a fine record.
But even though they come to Am
ericus flushed with victory, the
Champs will give them something to
think about, as they did Tennille and
the Atlanta Athletics.

ress farm, where thirty or forty acres
Of fine tobacco are cultivated
Mr.. J. l., Glawson, manager of this
fine plantation, was in the city yes
terday, and stated that some of the
tobacco is now being cut down and
harvested
The filler" tobacco is grown in
the open field, as shown above, this
picture having been made when the
plants were about six weeks old. The
plants in this field today are taller
than q man walking between the
rows.
The Sumatra leaf tobacco is grown
under a lattice frame, which serves
as a shade to the plants, thus i'm
proving the quality. There are six
teen acres of the Sumatra leaf tobac-
co under lattice work, and people
come for miles to see the splendid
crop
The plants tower we'll above the
heads toI the negroes who work this
remunerative crop.
Before engaging in tobacco culture
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-08-01

Mr. Ware visited Cuba and the best
tobacco growing sections of Florida
to ascertain the most improved meth
DDS of cultivation and harvesting of
a tobacco crop.
After thorough tests of the soil Of
Sumter county, and being assured
that tobacco could be grown here as
Drofitably as in Florida, he entered
upon the venture, and with gratifying
results. Every test made, from grow
ing to burning the leaves, proved
satisfactory
1t costs about $3.50 per acre to grow
Sumatra tobacco, the great cost be-
ing in construction of the lattice
work, but the high price of the leaf
warrants the outlay. The cost of
growing the Cuban tobacco in the
open field is very considerably less,
while the value is less as we'll.
Next year the company proposes to
engage largely in tobacco culture,
planting IS to 100 acres of these two
varieties, from which profit of
100000 is expected.
