Mr. George R. Simpson came to
Americas yesterday morning from his

bushels of wheat to the mills at Fort
Valley to be made into flour. Mr..
Simpson belongs to that class of
farmers who produce at home all that
is needed upon the farm, including
his supply of flour. Mr.. Simpson
raised this summer sixty-five bushels
fine wheat upon three and a half
acres land, or a supply more than
sufficient for his family for a year.
1t cost him less to raise the wheat
than had the land been planted in
cotton, and while others will pay
Patterns spectators So per barrel for
adulterated flour George Simpson will
enjoy the pure article, produced upon
his own farm here.

NEW VARIETY OF PEACH
Mr.. SmithWick Working On Budded
Burbank Monarch

Mr.. H. w. Smithwick has succeed
ed in producing a new variety of
peach by budding a Burbank Mon
arch, from California, on native stock
The result is a fruit that, while it
will not permit of shipment, is lar
ger than the liberia and with a dis
tinctive flavor of its own
The tree on Mr.. Smithwick's pre-
misses is now two and half years
old. Of course there is but small
quantity of fruit on it this season, just
a few specimens to show what the
tree may do later on when it is
more matured. One of the peaches
brought to the Times-RecO order yes
terday weighed eleven ounces. 1t was
one of a cluster of three growing on
a little stalk that was tough enough
to hold them, despite the fact that
their aggregated weight was probably
over two pounds.
Mr. SmithWick intends to expert
ment with the fruit and see if it is
not possible to procure from it a
peach that will retain the size, color
and flavor and still permit of its
shipment. If he succeeds it would
make it a magnificent peach for
lcanning purposes and in tins it would
make a formidable competitor with
the finest California fruit that bring

WILSON JOINS AMERICUS TEAM
Atlanta's Star Pitcher To BE With
The Champs

Doc" Wilson, Atlantas star twirl-
er who pitched Mondays game for
the Atlanta Athletics here, is now 4
Champ" and will do yoeman SER
vice with the Americas bunch during
the remainder of the season. A con-
tract was thus closed with Wilson
yesterday.
He comes to Americas next week,
and will be in the tangle with the
Albany team. That bunch wanted him
badly, but their pole was too short
to reach him.
However, Americas gets him, as
she does whatever else she wants.
While in the city a day or two ago
Pitcher Wilson, who's as an Albanian
is Talmage Wilson, was offered luc-
rative position with an Americas firm
which needed such a man. Upon his
return to Atlanta he wired his ac-
ceptance of the position, and comes
to Americas.
When Manager Bell learned of this
yesterday he got into immediate COM
munciation with Wilson, with the
result that he will play with the
Champs
This new acquisition gives Ameri-
Gus three crack pitchers in Ansley,
Perryman and Wilson, three graces, -
who in the box can strike the stuffing
out of any nigh" team that may come
this way

WOULD NOT CONTRACT
FOR BETTER LIGHTS

tire devotion to a municipal lighting
plant and entire opposition to any
propositions coming from the COM
pany The Alderman made a fiery
speech of some five minutes, declar-
ing that no amount of influence could
change his adherence to the munich
pal lighting plan, and that if he were
the only man in Americas to stand
by it ne would adhere to it as the
right thing for the city's interests.
Alderman Hawkins created a laugh
by stating that he had lost all pat
fence with the lighting people. These
people are around here harrassing
us all the time" said he. Were not
going to do anything for them. Why
don't they realize it. There's nothing
trying to complicate matters still
more. What they are after is to
create a sentiment among the people
favorable to them. We are not going
to let them do anything and they
might as we'll understand it."
Mayor Fielder vacated his seat and
urged that the proposition be adopt
ed. He insisted that Council would
be acting in the interest of citizens
to do this, that the company was
right in asking for contract before
making the necessary expenditures,
that it had a right to insist on a
guarantee that the lights would be al
lowed to burn a few months in order
that the people might see them and
judge for themselves. The Mayor
intimated rather strongly that the al
dermen favoring city lighting plant
were afraid to let the people pass on
the question and afraid to let the
company have the contract it now
asks for from fear the people would
be satisfied and so declare themselves
at the next election. He insisted that
it was duty the council owed to
the people to get the improved lights
for the next few months. I'VE are
the servants of the people and not
their masters" he declared, "and we
have no right to turn down a propo-
sitiOn that only commits the city for
so short a time. We all know the
city cannot get a plant by January l.,
and we should avail ourselves of this
opportunity to get a better service
for the public at no extra expenses
and no risk to the city"
But when the vote was taken it was
five to two, those in favor of the de-
sired contract being Alderman Ed
ridge and Mayor Fielder.

AGAIN THE TEAMS ARE
TIED AT THE FINISH
Score ) to 3 In the Tenth
Inning

Tied two, lost one. Americas fans
have been treated to some rare ball
playing in the series with the A. A.
Club. Bringing as they did the pick
of the college players, coached by
the best in his line in the south and
one of the best in the country, j. w.
Heisman, this aggregation of ball
.tossers have given Americas some Of
the sport according to the best not
ions of baseball.
And in this encounter the Champs
have nothing with which to reproach
themselves. The Atlanta boys have
had one surprise, if they never have
another
The games could have been better
to be sure, but it is not within the
range of humanity to not at times
do the best thing in the best way.
1t is worth while to stack up so fav-
orably against an aggregation of this
class.
In yesterdays struggle the visitors
started things in the fourth inning
by chasing one man across the pan.
But it was not till the fifth that
the Champs found themselves, and at
that time, Mayer, the pride of Tech,
was given some hard raps, which net
ted in the aggregate three runs, Dunn,
Wheatley and Hooks making the tai
lies. ..-
Ir~tfe eighth B0channon picked a
nice one and put it over the fence in
left garden.
Again in the ninth, Armistead, first
man up for the visitors made safe
on Dunn's tumble, stole second, went
to third on Golfers sacrifice, and
came in on passed ball. This tied
the score, and the efforts of neither
side were sufficient to unite it till at
the end of the tenth the game was
called on account of darkness.
Following is the box score and
summary.
