BOOST TO BUSINESS IN
OFFICE OF POSTAL
Company TO Put Assistant
Here Soon.

Rapidly increasing business In the
Americus office of the Postal Tele-
graph Co, and the further fact that
this volume Of business necessitates
longer hours there, will result in the
appointment of an assistant operator
for Manager Williamson, according to
reports from headquarters.
This information will be hailed with
delight by the business public here
who have long ago heartily tired OF
the shut-up-at--sunset schedule put
upon Americus by both the telegraph
offices here in recent years.
After dark, or p. m., they have
been as dark and silent as the tomb
with nothing doing en- tick.
Since Manager Williamson has had
charge of the office here he has add
ed greatly to its popularity with the
public, thus securing increased busi-
ness. Assistant General Superintend-
ent Paine highly compliments Man
ager Williamson upon conditions IN
the Americus office.
In this connection the promise OF
an increase in force is made, as the
Postal office is now kept open until
10 p. M, instead of o'clock, as here

A RACE TRACK, IN
OPINION OF OUTSIDERS
They Hear of Many Cars But No
Sound Of Whistles.

An Americus business man return
ing bere yesterday from a South Geor-
gia town, tells a good story illustrating
the viewpoint of Americus taken by
others, both industriaily and auto
mobiliously," and more particularly
the latter.
For the fame of Wheeled Americas
has spread far and wide
And you came from Americus, the
center of good roads?' asked the ma
tive of Tankvilie.
The Americus cit proudly admitted
the fact that he claimed this as his
rome port, AMI was ABOUT to launch
out in an effusive statement of the
city's roseate prospects as the gaso-
line center of the state
I'VE hear so much about Americus,
continued the wiregrass oracle, as
an automobile speedway, with race
courses leading into the country in
every direction, but we never hear
anything about any factories or "a
dus.rles being bull. ;.ere.'
The AIceYcus man was thus disarn1-
ed of arg nel an! rorcea to admit
that riding and not working was the
hobby here.

FOUND HOG RAISING
HIGHLY PROFITABLE
so Will Branch Out On
Much Larger Scale.
Experience of Americus
Man in Raising PIX
for Market.


Mr. George M. Bragg has expert
mented enough Wits hog raising to
SHOW him conclusively that it is a
highly profitable business This year
he expects to branch out and engage
in the raising of King Pork on a far
more considerable scale than in the
past With no prospect of any decline
of great moment in the value of meas
there is every reason to look for ex-
ceedingly profitable returns from ev-
cry hog raised in Sumter county, and
the man who handles the business in
proper manner seems assured Of
gratifying results.
Mr.. Bragg began his experiments
with pork eighteen months ago when
he invested $3.50 in hogs. Since then
he has sold off porkers to the ex-
tent of $125 and now has on hand mar
ketable animals worth in the neigh
borhood of $400, together with some
small pigs that later on will be worth
$40 to SIS piece.
Six months pigs, weighing 100
pounds, have been sold by Mr.. Bragg
recently at $40 each He is now pre-
pairing some for market that will bring
a much larger price than this, owing
to their greater weight.
This year Mr.. Bragg hopes to Sc
cure a large piece of land and branch
out in the hog raising line on a more
extensive scale. If possible he. will
have between 400 and 500 hogs ready
for the butchering process by the
close of next winter
Il know that hog raising is profit
able, highly profitable, and l propose
to push it," said Mr.. Bragg yester-
day. ''The only surprise to me is that
our farmers do not raise more of them
than they do especially as it seems
to be a foregone conclusion that all
kinds of meats will be high in price
from now on, with the tremendous in
crease in the consumptive demand. |
find that hogs thrive in this climate,
are easily and cheaply raised, and
when fed properly before killing have
firm, sweet flesh that exceeds in
quality that of the western product
have experimental in feeding them
and know just about what is required
to meet conditions. I see no reason
why Sumter county pork and its pro
ducts should not take high rank 1
have heard a good deal about the hams
and bacon of Brooks county, but that
county and no other can excel Sumter
if we want to go to the trouble of
raising hogs and curing the meat prop
erly. l hope to be in position to push
the hog raising business during the
next twelve months and certainly be-
lieve it will give me handsome re-
turns"

(special to Times-Recorderl

Cairo, Egypt, March 25.-The plans
of the government were absolutely up
set today by the refusal of ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt to allow guards 20
protect himself and party during their

the fact that many radical national
lists have been aggrieved by Col. Roose-

methods, the local authorities are tax
ing no chance of any attack or dem

News of an increase in the number
of candidates continues to come to
Marshal Crawford Wheatley. 1t is
strange how men will run into un-
known dangers, rushing in where an
gels might well fear to tread.
Americas will probably have a dozen
of it's citizens in jeopardy Tuesday
night The other victims to date are
seven in number from Savannah, two
from Augusta, two from Bainbridge
one from Albany, one from Dawson,
four from Columbus, two from For
Valley, one from Reynolds, one from
Macon, three from Cordele, one from
Vienna; thirty-seven in all.
1t is understood that in the begin
ming of the work the candidates are
handled as a class. After that, though,
they will be handel individually. This
is the time, rumor has it, when the
candidate "gets the full value of his
money" "a Shriner," said one of the
fez wearers yesterday, never forgets
this part of his initiation"
Arrangements have been practically
completed for the visit of Alec Tenn
pie. The float will get in from Savan-

attention it requires. The Macon
brass band of eighteen pieces has been
engaged and will arrive at $50 Tues
day morning At Z o'clock the local
Shriners will meet at the hotel. A
1880 they will be at the Central depot
to escort the visitors to the hotel.
During the morning, in all probability,
the band will give a concert in front
of the hotel that will be enjoyed by as
many as care for a treat in good
music. At o'clock the parade will be
pulled off. The route, as announced.
Will be: From Masonic hall to For
syth, to Cotton avenue, to Lamar, to
Lee, to College, to Jackson, to La
mar and the hotel.
Friends of the candidates, who will
be led in ropes, and if any of them
develop dangerous tendencies, in
cages, are requested not to make any
attempts to rescue them while the
parade is passing. They will be too
strongly guarded to permit of sue
cessful jail breaking.
Plates for $50 will be laid at the
banquet that follows the initiation.
If there are vacant seats it will be
due to the indisposition of the new
members to sit down.
The menu will be most tempting.
The ladies of the Order of the East
ern Star have the dinner in hand. 1t
will be one of the most tempting ever
served here.
