HIS BIRTHDAY Is REMEMBERED
Friends of SOlicitOr-General Williams
Entertained

A very delightful surprise awaited
he repaired to his beautiful Lee street
residence Monday evening and found
the entire official force of county
officers seated upon the brilliantly
lighted veranda, awaiting his home
coming. Somewhat nonplussed at
the presence of this genial party OF
a dozen friends, Mrs. Williams re-
minded the genial Solicitor-General
that the day was his -th birthday, a
fact which he had forgotten, though
she had ont, and the assembled guests
had come at her invitation to share in
the good cheer and offer congratula-
tions. The assembled officials then
arose in body when Judge Cobb,
as orator of the occasion, in a neat
address presented Col Williams a
hand mirror as token of their es-
TEEN, and one they considered quite
appropriate, as therein he might see
reflected the fine outlines and classic
features of his handsome face. An
elegant supper was served the as
sembled guests and the birthday oc-
casion greatly enjoyed, Col. Williams
only exacting promise from each
guest that the number of the ami
versary be not divulged in the temple
of gossip.

QUARTER MILE OF wATERMELoNs
Immense Shipment Left Americus
Over the Central

Watermelons quarter mile in
single melons, but a
train of them of that unusual length,
pulled out of Americus yesterday at
ternoon over the Central Railway,
and the luscious bombs will be dis
throughout yankeedom. Sew
eral of the cars were loaded by AM
aricus growers, the crop around here
being unusually fine this season and
good prices are being realized. The
melon train starting yesterday con-
sisted of fifty cars-nothing but wa
termelons and as about one thousand
to twelve hundred melons constitute
a carload the total number of collie
promoters can be readily estimated.
Several cars shipped from Americus
quite recently have gone to Birming-
ham, where fairly good prices are
realized.

ACRES OF BROOM CORN
MADE UP INTO BROOMS
AmeriCus Has An Import
ant Industry.

Six thousand brooms, five hundred
dozen of these indispensable house
hold articles, will be manufactured
this week at the Americus Broom
Factory, an infant industry estab-
llshed here a year ago by Mr.. S. =.
Gray, who had faith in the upbuild-
| ing of such an enterprise
This faith was backed up by his
own dollars, as local capital was not
solicited, and only local patronage
asked by him.
The enterprise is demonstrated
success, and Mr.. Gray is reaping the
benefit thereof This is the first
season of the venture here, and Mr..
Gray is highly pleased at the prospect
of a fine output from his factory.
Last year he leased the ChambIiss
farm, one mile out Lee street, north,
and planted a considerable acreage in
broom corn. The crop is an abundant
one, and Mr.. Gray is preparing to cut
this week twenty-five acres that is
fully ripe and ready to be made into
brooms.
A shop has been built near the corn
fields, and the brooms will be made
right there and sold to Americus
dealers, or others who may wish to
buy.
And no better article of broom is
made anywhere in northern factory
They have been used in Americus--
these brooms made at our doors
and are unsurpassed in workmanship
and durability.
Mr.. Gray will quickly manufacture
into brooms all the corn he has been
able to produce this year, and the
crop will prove a profitable one. He
will interest other farmers next sea-
son, and much larger acreage will
insure a factory and the employment
of other people.
1t is industries like this that build
up city, and Americus will be for
tunate indeed when it has more of
them.

ALTMAN AND PERRY GO
FREE OF THE CHARGE
Adjudged Not Guilty of Selling Liquor
At AndersOnyille

D. r. Altman, citizen of Fitzger-
aid and H. j. Perry, who resides at
Rebecca, Ga, near the colony capital,
were both ladjudged not guilty of the
charge of having violated the local
option laws in the alleged sale of
whiskey at Andersonville on decora-
tion day, May 31st.
Both defendants were put upon
trial before Judge Crisp, in the City
Court of Americus yesterday, and
both went free.
Owing to the prominence of the
men in their communities, the trial
was attended with much interest. A
score of witnesses for the defendants
came from Fitzgerald.
Both Altman and Perry were put
under arrest at Andersonville by the
Americus Light Infantry and Sheriff
Feagin's posse, charged with selling
whiskey. Two other men, Griffin and
Adcock were arrested likewise and
broght later to Americus.
The two latter named defendants
have not yet been tried.
There was an excursion to Ander-
sonviiie on May 31st, and the charge
preferred was that of selling whiskey
among the. excursionists and others
in the town Mr. Altman was first
put upon trial and came clear, though
for time it looked very much like a
mistrial.
The Allen case was even more quick
ly disposed of.
Mr.. Altman was represented by
Messrs. Ellis & Webb, and Attorney
Griner of Rebecca, Ga. Mr.. Perry
was represented by Judge Max D.
Land, Mr.. Fl. B. Simmons and At
torney c. C. Curry. Solicitors Viii
liams and Childers looked after the
interests of the State.
The trial of the two cases was
watched with interest throughout, ow-
ing to the prominence of the defend
ants.

FINE SITE OFFERED
FOR SCHOOL BUILDING
Board Has Not Yet Finally
Considered Matter

The city is still not in possession
of the school bond money, but it is
hoped by the officials that the almost
1nterminable delay will soon be at
an end and the more than $4,000 to
be received from the sale of the Sc
ourities will be in bank here to the
credit of the Board of Education.
The Board of Education has not yet
decided upon any site for the school
building that is to be erected for
high school purposes especially
This may be due to caution on its part
its members not desiring to commit
the Board to any contract until the
money is in sight with which to
meet it. While it is about as reas-
onably sure as anything canbe that
there will be no further hitch in
the bond deal the Board probably
prefers to go slowly until the city
has actually received the money and
it is put in position to pay for the
site that it wishes
1t is remarkable that so few sites
have been offered The city is so
solidly built up, though, that there
are necessarily but few that are
available except toward the outskirts.
The knowledge, too, that the Board
desires to get a site on the line of the
growth of the city may have the eff
feet of limiting the propositions to
sell it land for school purposes.
One of the finest sites apparently in
prospect is that offered by Mr.. r. S.
Broadhurst. 1t is a magnificent lot
on Hill and Barlow streets, with
frontage of 225 feet on Barlow street
and probably greater depth on Hill
street. There is a fine oak growth
on this lot and ample shade would
be available for the children after
sufficient space had been cleared for
the building The site is within a
block of Lee street Lee street and
Barlow street are both bridged over
the Seaboard, so that the railroad
furnishes no obstruction or objection
to this site. The rapid drift of the
city in that direction is said to have
strongly impressed itself upon the
members of the Board and there is
hardly doubt that this site will be
strongly pressed for acceptance.
While the price has not been made
public it is understood that it is very
hardly half of what a site
of this size would cost on Rees Park
