FUNERAL OF MRS. L. A. BROWN
ATTENDED BY MANY FRIENDS
Former Resident of Americus Laid to
Rest Here.

In the presence of a large concourse
of friends, the remains Of Mrs Eloise
A. Brown were laid to rest in Oak
Grove cemetery at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, beside those of her
lamented husband, Peter T. Brown,
an esteemed citizen and educator Of
Americas many years ago.
This we'll known family resided here
during a long period and occupied
a prominent position in the social and
business life of the city two decades
ago.
The remains of Mrs. Brown were
brought from Sparta, Ga, where she
had recently resided. A large con-
course of friends were at the Central
depot and formed the cortege to the
cemetery where the funeral services,
were conducted by Rev 0. B. Chester
of the Methodist church.
Mrs. Brown was "A years of age, aud
is survived by three sons. Messrs

BIG PROFIT IN COTTON
If ECONOMY is USED
Intensive Plan in Planting
Crop Urged.

1t is true that cotton, as it has
been grown, has been the means of
reducing the fertility of the soil, but
the damage has not been due to the
crop, but to bad farming. With bet
ter farming, it is evident that cotton
should be the greatest and most prof
liable money crop that can be made
in the South.
When a man makes two bales of
lint per acre at a cost of $40 per acre,
as do some men, in a season like the
past, with cotton worth Is cents
per pound, it is evident that there
are few crops that can compete with
cotton for profit, where the farmer
farms intelligently.
That cotton has been and is being
grown all over the South at too high
cost is certainly true, and that the
majority of those devoting their at
tention to cotton have made no money
is true.
But this is not the fault of the crop,
but of the farming.
In the case of the man mentioned,
had cotton been down to the lowest
price, he would have made a far
profit per acre, while the cropper
whose cotton costs six or seven cents
a pound, would have been a loser.
Therefore, it comes back to the fact
that cotton is very profitable crop
where man farms right, and a bad
crop for the man who devotes all his
attention and land to cotton and gam
bles on little S-2-2 fertilizer and
expects his cotton to pay for every
thing else he needs.
But all over the South there is now
a wave of interest in better methods
that promises much for the future.

MEETING WILL BE
ON THURSDAY NIGHT
Plans Laid Then for Indus
trial Association.

The meeting that had been decided
on for Monday night to lay prelimin-
ary plans for an industrial aid asso-
citation, was not held In view Of
the death of James Taylor, Esq, It
was decided to postpone the meeting
until later in the week
The meeting, in all probability, will
be held at the office of w. T. Lane.
Esq, on Thursday night. 1t would
be an easy matter to bring together
a large attendance of citizens for the
purpose, but it is deemed advisable
to first have a conference of fifteen
or twenty, to discuss the matter thor
oughEy and lay out some tentative
plan that can be presented at fuller
meeting to be called later This Will
save time and result in a more effect
i've movement toward organization.
There is no doubt that considerable
interest is felt in the proposed move
ment to bring small industries here
1t is pointed out that the great ma
jority of towns have had their indus
trial start in this way. by the promo
tion of small manufactures, rather
than by concentrating efforts toward
getting one large industry. 1t is gem
orally felt that Americus can secure
the best results by adopting sim
liar policy.
The meeting on Thursday night will
be merely preliminary to a general
meeting of citizens, to be called either
by the meeting in question or through
the medium of the Board of Trade.

BUILDING is SPLIT BY
BOLT OF LIGHTNING.
Damage Done the Orphans
Home Here.
Wellnigh a Wreck is
Made of Upper Por-
ton.

Ripped by lightning from roof
to the basement, the building
of the Georgia Masonic or
ph'ans' home (coloreD in Americas
was damaged to the extent of per-
haps two thousand dollars by the
electric bolt which struck it during
the rain storm two days ago.
Such general wreck as was wrought
there is rarely witnessed.
The building was struck at the noon
hour, but, remarkable to relate, not
one of the teachers or sixty-five pu-
pile were injured.
The bolt evidently struck the tall
tower at the southeast corner and
there divided, as other portions of
the roof far remote from the initial
point were wrecked as well. The
tower, twelve feet in diameter, was
spit from top to bottom, great holes
being torn in it's sides.

tirely and rebuilt, it would seem now

leaving great holes Though which
a Gotten bale could be dropped.
Every window light in the auditor
iuc was broken, as were dozens on
the other floors, while the framing
was ripped and torn as though it were
paper boards
The bolt fired the building, but the
flames were extinguished by the teach
ers. The fluid left the building at
two points, ripping up the ground.
one of the bolts then bounding $50
yards and striking a telephone pole
on Lee street. The other bolt tore
up the wire fence of the garden close
by.
The siXty-ffve pupils were on the
basement floor and all escaped in
jury.
The building is insured against fire
and lightning in one of the companies
represented by Mr.. Herbert Hawkins
agency, and amply protected to the
point of necessary repairs.

STUDENTS GIVE BLOOD
TO MAKE A SERUM

Boston, Mass, March 22.-The stu
dents of the Tufts Medical school are
giving their blood to make serum for
the treatment of certain forms of hem
orrhage, especially in the treatment
of hemorrhage in infants. Much of
the serum is used in the local hospi-
tai and is furnished through the Her.
bert Johnson fund, and is derived
from rabbits.
In certain cases the use of animal
serum would be dangerous, then the
blood of the young, healthy students
of the college is used. The removal
is not dangerous to the student, the
professors declare, as the usual
amount of blood extracted is two
ounces, and never over four ounces.
The median vein on either arm
forms the basis of the supply.

Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-18

= VERY girl who has travelled at all
knows the opinion Of foreigners and
L. Americans alike on the subject OF the
American tourist. The one idea is to
avoid the places where they congregate,
never to stop at hotel much patronized
by Americans, and, of all things, to shop
anywhere but where the Americans go.
In travelling, of course, there is gen
orally the aim to have as complete a
change from familiar scenes, and even
people, as possible, and, too, 1t is amusing
to stay in the hotels where the people OF
a foreign country are living, while chief
reason for avoiding the shop popular
among Americans is that the prices are
invariably higher. There is perhaps an
element of snobbishness in this desire to
escape from ones own country people.
Democrats though we are, ancient lineage
still makes ridiculous difference to us
and we want to be very sure just who one
is before we make friends promlscuousiy'
But not one or all of these very excel
lent excuses is sufficient reason for the
Americans avoidance of her own people
nor of the epithet so familiar on the
other side, fools and Americans" classed
pathetically together, but, fortunately.
still distinct and not yet fools OF Amerl-
cans" When the question is sifted down
thoroughly the reason is found to lie en-
tirely with the attitude and conduct of the
American tourists themselves, and, sad
dest of all to relate, it is the young peo-
pie of America who have done most to
make their country people unpleasantly
notorious abroad.
