MARCH ON AMERICUS Is
RESULT OF PROSPERITY
Good Times Are Bringing
People Here.
Merchants Report Up
ward Trend in Trade
as Result.

For mercy sake let up in your
news stories of good times and pros
perity in Americus" pleaded a perspir-
ing drygoods merchant yesterday, as
he lodged the crowd of buyers in his
store just long enough to speak to the
Times-Recorder man and catch a
breathing spell before joining again in
the tumult of trade.
For the store was crowded, and ev-
en- the boss" was kept busy
You see it is this way" he contin-
ued as he wrapped up a suit of
clothes and placed S25 of good money
in the cash drawer, I'VE are just run
to death"
Look after those ladies coming in
he called to clerk. Then, lighting a
cigar, he continued:
Our annoyance is from travelling
statesmen. They swarm in here daily
and tell us of the great prosperity
they have read of here; of the sales of
$4,000 bales of cotton at Is cents; and
the circulation of one and three quar-
ter million dollars of cotton money
in Americus That brings them here ''
Why, it is a fact that some of them
make bee line to Americus from Bir-
minghan, Atlanta, Charlotte and other
centres, all talking Americus' prosper
ity.
These favorable reports, as you
are personally aware, are wired from
Americus to the big dailies over the
country, and the news is soon scatter
ed broadcast The drummers see it,
and here they come in droves to sell
us goods we don't need"
And this is true story; citizen
actually protesting at the prospect OF
too much business.
He is right about the people coming
here, travelling men as we'll as shop
pers, for one can see it in the crowded
cars, the streets filled with strangers
and stores crowded with shoppers
Business was never better
1t is reflected upon the register OF
the hotel. Wednesdays arrivals there
numbered seventy, and all other days
are good as well.
Americus merchants are talking
prosperity. They are having already
the finest trade ever known here, and
the cream of it is yet to be enjoyed
November will bring a bulge in bust
ness, while the December and Christ
mas trade will break all records. Thir-
teen cents cotton now; Is cents cot
ton then, will bring business.
Americus has never known such {
season of prosperity, and the Times
Recorder rejoices with the merchants
its patrons-in their success.

Preparing For Colony.

An agent for the company was in
Americus yesterday making extensive
purchases of supplies needed by the
newcomers. Barrels of -four, cases of
meats and other food supplies were
bought of local dealers and will be
sent to the headquarters of the COM
pany ere the Ohio colonists put in ap-
pearance.
The people thus brought here are
skilled laborers in working kaolin, all
of them having done service in the
plants at East Liverpool, the largest
in the world.
They are steady, Industrious people,
all earning good wages, and the loca-
ton of such colony here will not only
prove of advantage per Sc but
the success of the new enterprise
will doubtless induce other to seek
such investment here.

BOARD OF TRADE
SHOULD GET TO WORK
HOme.SeekerS Will Be Near
Here in December.
Opportunity is at Hand
to Get in Touch With
Prospective Settlers

If the Americus Board of Trade gets
busy it may get in touch with a
"Homeseekers Excursion" that is COM
ing down into Southwest Georgia early
in November, the week after next, for
the purpose of studying the climate.
the conditions surrounding country
life, and perhaps likewise for the get.
ting of options on some good farming
lands.
The excursion leaves West Virginia
on November 1, and will be under the
charge of R. E. l.. Stout, of Bridge
boro, w. Va, and c. Cliff Cohen, of
Washington, d. c. 1t will come over
the B. & o. and Atlantic Coast Line.
The A. G. l.. is making special efforts
to bring these excursions over its lines
and to develop the territory through
which it runs In this it sets an ex-
ample that the Central and the Sea-
board seem very slow to follow.
Some Might Be Brought Here.
While it may not be possible to
bring the entire excursion into Ameri-
Gus and show them the superior ad-
vantages and opportunities Sumter
county offers over anything that can
be found in the other counties into
which the party will go, it is not inn
possible if the Board of Trade puts
forth proper efforts that some, at
least, of the excursionists may be in
duced to run up to Americus from AL
bany, the final objective point of the
excursion, and by trips over the fine
highways of Sumter county, a view OF
the magnificent farms, and a, realiza-
tion of what this county has to offer,
be brought to locate here.
If the Board of Trade will get into
prompt connection with these parties
engineering the excursion it is prob
able that some gad may result. This
county is recognized as pre-eminent
There is no county near it that touch
es it. This is recognized fact. If
the real estate men will actively CO.
operate with the officials of the Board
of Trade in impressfng the facts upon
the promoters of this excursion some
definite good may result. In any event
the county will be further advertised
and no harm can ensue.
Railroads RemisS i'm Their Work.
And while about it it would not be
amiss if the Board of Trade would get
actively to work to impress on the
| railroads running into this section
that they are remiss in working up
their opportunities. If the Ceutral rail-
way with it's magnificent western con-
nections, would get move on it in the
same direction that the A. c. l.. is OPP
Grating there is not a possibility OF
doubt that it could speedily become in
strumental in locating many desirable
| farmers in this county and adjacent
| territory. The Seaboard also has fine
territory to develop if it would run
| home seekers excursions. 1t certainly
seems a pity that golden opportunities
should be allowed to pass neglected
as they are.

Vast Stratas of KaOlin.

1t was two years ago, perhaps, that
prospectors came to Americus to look
for kaolin deposits in the country
roundabout. They knew their busi-
ness, and on part of the Chambliss
farm on Sweetwater creek, found what
they sought. The property was ac-
Quired and the prospectors went their
way.
But they carried with them speci-
mems of the fine clay they had found.
The material was taken away to the
potteries in Ohio.
There it was thoroughly tested and
found to be of quality unsurpassed.
The Sweetwater Pottery Co. was or
ganized, and it is this that will pro-
ceed to develop the kaolin mines along
Sweetwater Greek.

Articles Made of KaOlin.

When the company'S plant is erect
ed, the artisans will get busy working
the beautiful soft clay into the hum
dreds of articles of daily use made of
it. All kinds of pottery, earthenware,
chinaware, etc, are made of kaolin
while under special preparation it is
used also as an adulterant of food
1t is used extensively in making
-four, and in the manufacture of high
grades of candy.
Of course the company locating here
will not thus utilize it, as the manu-
facture of articles of commerce, as
first mentioned, will probably occupy
all of the time of the toilers who will
be. engaged there.
Industry an Independent One.
Besides the vast kaolin beds con-
trolled by the Sweetwater Pottery Co.
there are other fine deposits here
about, among them one on the Child
ers plantation in Schley county and
very near that of the new company
Kaolin is to be found in other localit-
les near Americus, and in vast guam
tity.
Sweetwater Creek, upon the banks
of which the new colony will locate, is
the beautiful and historic little stream
which runs through the old prison site
at Andersonville, where $4,000 Federal
prisoners were confined during the
war

ASK WARRANT
FOR LO SUN
Authorities Decide His Views Are
Too Pronounced for Him
to Stay Here.

The Investigations instituted against
40 sun, the editor of the Chez Bow
Shin Pc, closed yesterday with the
necessary request to Washington for a
warrant to arrest and deport him. The
examinations into the state of his ce-
lestial mind have resulted in the dis
covery of an anarchistie chaos which
is considered as dangerous to the gem
eral health of the United States.
Yesterday pector-n- Charge Ray
mond c. Brown of the immigration sta
ton received a translation of the edi-
torial in Lo Sun paper Of the oath.
1t proved to be even worse than the
extracts from it printed by The Ad-
ve~tiser, and is considered sufficient to
send Lo Sun clean around the world
What will happen to him in China
is only speculative. The Chinese Off
Gals might welcome him with open
arms or they might wait passively
until Lo Sun spills the red ink again,
and pinch him la customs of the
Heavenly Kingdom.
Chinese in this city have evidently
favored the doctrines of the editor to
some extent. for many letters have
been received by the press, defending
him. The bulk of the editorial which
got him into sudden pilikia was
up by the extracts formerly
printed in this paper, which were, in
cidentally, the first intimation that the
authorities had that the article was
sufficiently anarchistic to warrant de
portation.
Since the article was printed, Lo Sun
has come out with another editorial in
which he attempts to modify the state
ments of the former one and protect
himself. HIS attempt at justification
contains the same sentiments slightly
yelled.

LEE LET WANTS
BIC DAMAGES
Suing BreCkons and StackabIe
for $4,000 for Having His
Store Searched.

United States District Attorney r.
W. Breckons, Collector of Customs E.
r. Stackable, Customs Examiner A. w.
Adams, and Customs Inspector Roger
Taylor have been made defendants in
$4,000 damage suit brought by Lee
Let, the Chinese importer. whose store
premises on King street and residence
ON vineyard street lane were searched
by the federal authorities recently for
suspected contraband opium.
The defendants are joined in one
ease, that of searching the residence
OF Lee Let, in one general suit for
damages for $4,000, and separate
suit is filed against Breckons and Stack
able for another $4,000 for searching
the store premises.
The papers were issued out of Judge
De Bolts court yesterday afternoon
and served on the defendants by
Deputy Sheriff Rose. The defendants
are cited to appear before Judge De
Bolt at the January term of the cir
cult court.
The complaint against them was
made on behalf of Lee Let by A. G.
nj. Robertson, his attorney. The com
plant is short, and alleges trespass on
October s, 1909. Lee Let sets forth
that he was then and for some time
prior a resident of Honolulu. On that
day he claims that the defendants,
with force and arms, wilfully, ma
hciously, and anlawfulIy broke in and
entered upon the premises of the plain
tiff, and. then and there, without legal
authority and against the will of the
plaintiff and his family, searched and
ransacked the premises, and broke open
and opened trunks and drawers, aud
thereby frightened plaintiff S wife and
children alleging that the former was
then in a delicate condition.
On the date mentioned the customs
officers searched the store premises of
Lee Let on King street near Maunakea
for eontraband opium. District Attor-
ney breckons had secured information
from a Chinaman apprehended in the
country that opium without govern
ment stamps on the tins had come from
Lee Let IS premises. This led to a raid
on the premises the next day, but with
out success.

TONY'S FICTION
DIDN'T WORK
Burglar Gets Five Years After
Putting Up Admirable, but
Useless, Yarn.

"Had you been telling the truth,
the court would be inclined to be le-
nient with you, but l believe your
story to be Justification from be-
ginning to end. There are some of our
jurors who might have believed it, but
I don 't.''
This remark prefaced the sentence
handed down yesterday by Judge De
Bolt to Tony Belasco, who is charged
with having entered the home of E.
Faxon Bishop on Nuuanu avenue to
burglarize it.
Tony's story was rather neat, but
there was so much to it that he
couldn t keep it all in his head, and
inserted few contradictions. There
fore, he got five years at hard labor
and the costs of court. When he heard
this. Tony shook his head sadly with
an expression on his face at once re-
proachful and full of pity for the lack
of understanding on the part of the
Judge
The Chilean pleaded guilty, although
he could have put up much better
case in court than many of those
which have puzzled the juries caustical-
ly referred to by Judge De Bolt. He
was induced to enter it by an impress
sion that by doing SO he woald avoid
arrest on a charge from San Fran
cisco.
County Detective Lake was the one
who gave him the impression that he
was wanted in the Bay City. Lake in
terviewed Tony in the jail, uncon-
sciously giving the latter the impress
sion that he was Coast detective, and
Tony's conscience got busy on the
spot.
With the aid of an interpreter, Tony
rolled off an admirable piece of fc-
ton concerning an accidental meeting
with a negro who first gave his name
as Charlie and then as something else;
how the negro asked him to help him
remove several suitcases from his
home; how they took off their shoes
$50 they wouldn't dirty the carpet .;
how Mrs. Bishop found him under the
bed, and so forth.
1t was his gentle heart, SO Tony ex-
planned, that induced him to help his
newfound friend, and after they were
in the house, the niger got out foot
long dagger and persuaded the Chilean
to continue. Tony's gentle heart will
now stand him i'll good stead.

Deplore ito's Assassination, but
Think That 1t Was
Deserved.
PERSECUTION BY JAPANESE
Compare Japanese and Koreans
in Hawaii and Refer
to Strike.

Editor Advertiser:-The assassination
of Ito has again brought charges
against the Koreans In this community.
1t has been stated by the foreign jour
nails. in effect, that the Koreans in this
community rejoice over the death of
Ito. If that be true, it is no more
than could be expected
In 1916, the States along the Allan
tic seaboard ran red with blood of
American patriots fighting for their
liberty against tyrannous usurpation.
What those American colonies suffered
was as nothing compared with the out
rageous treatment to which the Ko
reans have been subjected at the hands
of the Japanese. The American col
onies won, which transforms them
from rebels into patriots and heroes.
In 1889 the starving French peas
ants fought and overthrow their tyrant
prince. Italy, Holland, Hungary, have
likewise struggled to secure the rights
of freemen. Switzerland, in 1914, be-
came a model of government.
Today the greatest nations of the
world have either the republican or
monarchical form of government, in
which the rights of the people are
carefully safeguarded. This spirit
reaches Korea, nation founded four
thousand years ago.
In 1904 the treaty was made between
Japan and Korea in which Japan prom
ised to guarantee the independence of
Korea, but in 1905, when the Russo
japanese war was over, Japan broke
her promise and forced herself upon
Korea under the guise of protector.
When Korea resented this perfidious
conduct, Ito surrounded the palace of
The Korean Emperor with three thou
sand japanese soldiers and compelled
the Emperor to sign the treaty, as also
some of the ministers, depriving her
of sovereignty. Some, however, had
enough courage and patriotism to re-
fuse to sign, preferring death to so
doing.
Ia 1906, when the peace conference
was held at The Hague, the Korean
Emperor sent representatives to plead
with the world for recognition. Then
it was that Herobumi Ito accused the
Korean Emperor of acting without au
thority, deposed him, and condemned

MANOh LIGHTED
LAST NIGHT BY
FIFTY NEW LAMPS

One of the most important events
which has taken place in Manoa Valley
and in the College Hills section thereof
came off last night per schedule. This
was the illumination of the valley by
the new system of electric lights, re-
Gently installed by the county electric
light uperintendent, W. L. Frazee.
More than fifty additional lights to
the few already installed were lighted
last night for the first time. They
were mainly in College Hills. taking in
Kamehameha and Oahu avenues and
some of the interseeting streets, while
on Manoa Heights new ones blazed and
all street corners are now relieved of
the former dense darkness which pre-
vailed
Lower Manoa road, which heretofore
has been to those who used that thor
oughfare somewhat similar to an I'M
lighted tunnel, is now a pleasant short
cut t the upper valley, as the road
is not so dangerous to pedestrians as
formerly, light revealing the ruts, holes
and depressions.
The electric light committee of the
board of supervisors made a favorable
report several months ago on the petit
ton of the Manoa improvement club
for electric lights. Mr.. Frazee then
had TO erect poles and few weeks ago
the lights and pole brackets arrived
and these were put in place as rapidly
as possible.
The Manoa Improvement club will
now move to have its roads repaired,
particularly the lower Manoa thorough
fare and the extension Of Oahu avenue.
1t viii also agitate TO have fire alarm
and police boxes put in central loea-
tions.
The club proposes to urge the es-
adjustment of chemical engine ser
vice, to be manned by residents of the
valley The Manoa and College Hills
residents are making individual effort
to beautifv the valley and are eneour-
aged by its constantly improved ap-
pearance, but the government. for its
part Of the improvement, has been slow.
