Simpson Wants Institute.
Chaplain Simpson of the First In.
fantry, National Guard of Hawaii, sub.
mitted letter making certain. recon-
mendatiOns regarding the fitting up Of
part of the proposed armory build
ing for the social side of militia life.
He expressed the belief that sufficient
room might advantageously be proyid-
ed for institute work among men of
the regular service.
The chaplain suggested that such
room could be provided without in
creasing the cost of the structure to
any considerable extent, and that an
exceedingly worthy work would thus
be aided. He called particular at
tention to the necessity for such work
among soldiers and sailors of the Fed
eral service stationed here, owing to
the comparatively few sources of
amusement
Chaplain Simpson IS letter made no
tieeable impression, and his sugges-
tons will doubtless receive careful
consideration at the hands of the men
upon whom it may fall to prepare
plans for the new armory.

waste each month Of sufficient money
to put up such a building as is re-
quired.
II was decided that the first steps
shall be in the direction of creating a
general interest in the armory project.
Then the money may be advanced for
the erection of the building. with the
understanding that an effort will be
made to secure an Appropriation from
the next Legislature of sufficient size
TO reimburse the persons who make the
advance. This plan seemed to meet with
pretty general approval.
The general opinion seemed to be that
the armory project should be financed
either by the Territory or by the peo-
pie at large. and that the expense should
not rest Shelly upon the Merchants
Association and perhaps the Chamber
of Commerce.
Report Adopted.

appointed at the last meeting of the
Merchants Association TO look into the
armory matter, was adopted as follows

ject of Egypt. its history, its people,
and customs prevailing there.
Miss Rutherford has travelled extern
sively in the Orient, and during fire.
quent trips to Egypt has acquainted

few others who have travelled in that
land of the Sphynx and the Pyramids.
A woman of engaging personality
and one of Georgia's most brilliant and
cultivated women, it will be esteemed
a privilege to listen to her upon this
highly entertaining subject. She is
no stranger in Americas, where she
has often been entertained upon oc,
casions of interest in recent years.
The proceeds of the lecture, as
stated, will go to the local chapter,
Z. d. c., a fact in itself sufficient to
insure crowded auditorium. The
admission is only so cents, and ticketc

VIII Contest.

The boys composing the White
basket ball team at the Young Mems

The Columbus team has expressed
strong desire to play in Americus,
and they will be given the chance.
Practice is had in the local gym al
most nightly and the Columbus boys
may well look to their laurels. This
team is generally recognized as the
swiftest in the South, and regardless

Pres. Ldnier Discusses Cot
ton Mill Project.
Ought Not to Be Neces-
sary to Make House to
House Canvas.

AS showing the interest felt in
Americus as cotton manufacturing
point said President Frank Laaier,
of the Board of Trade, yesterday, "it
is but necessary to state that Mr..
Barnwell and Mr.. Thayer were in to
see me again this week relative to it.
They are members of the firm of Lock-
wood, Green G. Co., are extensively
acquainted with the capitalists in the
North promoting new mills In that
section and in the South, and are In
position to take care of lis If we are
really al all in earnest in orr desire
to secure a mill for Americus.
IF we do not avail ourselves of the
present opportunity" continued Presi-
dent Lanier, Il feel it will be hopeless
hereafter to broach the matter. We
cannot continue talking indefinitely
along these lines. The public will
weary of it and finally refuse to inter-
est itself at all in the subject. We have
done an abundance of talking aud
what we need now is to back up our
faith with our works, in other words
subscribe,
''It is said of the famous Dean
Swift that on one occasion he was
called on to preach a sermon soliciting
aid for charitable purpose. He an
nounced as his text: He who giveth
to the poor lendeth to the Lord, clos
ed the book and said: If you have
faith in the security down with the
way feel about this cotton mill prop
osition. If we have faith in Americus
and its prospects as a cotton manu-
featuring point the time is right here
to pony up, to show our confidence by
our subscriptions. No more talk
ought to be necessary"
II do not think it should be neces-
sary to make a general appeal to the
public for subscriptions to secure $780,
O00," continued President Lanier. 1--WE
had about $4,000 in sight. think,
from few of our leading business
men, when the original proposition
was under consideration. Five of
them, l believe, were willing to put
up $4,000. Really don't see why
ten to fifteen of our prominent busi-
ness men should not get together, sub
scribe the $4,000, and ensure the
erection of the mill the coming year.
We would have local directors and
local supervision of the enterprise.

COTTON CROP IN SUMTER
is TURNING OUT WELL.
Farmers Are Highly Pleased With
Results.

Americus is getting her full share
of the cotton crop which, by the way,
is turning out an average one. Ac-
cording to news from all sections of
the county, planters will make an av-
erage cotton crop, reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. There are in
dications that the late or top crop VIII
be fairly good, which will make up
for the shortage in the early growth.
With the pre- jent price. the planters
are receiving nearly twice as much in
price for their crop as last sea-
son and they are all quite optimistic
over the situation Many are already
buying in their supplies and they
seem to have ready cash for their
purchases.

MAKING BUSINESS MEN
CLEAN UP PREMISES
Inspector Makes Tour of
Business Buildings.
Old Trash Ordered Out
of Yards, Easements
and Out-Buildings.

An inspector of the Southern I'm
derwriters hit the city yesterday
morning and began a quick inspection
Of the condition of premises in the
business district with view to as
certaining the amount of unnecessary
intiammable matter laying around in
the yards and easements.
Before he had gone very far in his
travels he had notified several par.
ties that it was a case of clean up or
take the chances of paying higher
rates for insurance or having insur-
ance cut off entirely.
AS result there was some clean
ing up of yards and out-buildings on
premises to rectify any dangers that
the inspector believed to be existing.
Conditions in Americus on the
whole are fairly good" said the in
spector, ''but an inspection was need
ed in order to see that the accumula-
tion OF unnecessary inflammables,
such as old paper, boxes, excelsior.
ETC., that is so common In business
houses when there is no one to insist
on their removal, was broken up. That
is the purpose of my trip The recent
revelations as to the defective state
of certain electric wiring directed at
tention to Americus and it was decided
to have look at the premises in gem
eral from the standpoint of fire clean
liness. 1t is frequently that way after
a fire when some weakness has been
shown that may bring a confagration.
AS general rule we experience no
trouble about such matters. Prop
erty owners, especially men in active
business, generally accede to our re-
quests for cleaning out of waste ma
terials and the fire risk to them and
their neighbors is corresponding les
sened. OF course If no attention is
paid to the request the underwriters
have no recourse but to add penalty
to the rate paid for insurance, or, if
the risk is considered too great, to re-
fuse further insurance on the prop
erty and goods. That generally brings
the necessary reforms"
It is not at all improbable as
a result of the inspection, and the
knowledge that there are probably
more inspections to come along this
line, that there will be a general root
ing out of old plunder from yards and
outhouses and cellars, a cleaning up
and lessening of the danger of fire
that will be for the good of the entire
city
These inspections are frequently
made in the larger cities, but it has
been some time since there was one
In Americus. The city will hereafter
see to it that electrical wiring is done
in accordance with the specifications
of the Tariff Association, and it is not
that 1t will also be more
rigid about the storing of infiamma-
bic stuff in yards, Easements and out
houses In the business section where
they may become menace to the
property of a large district
