ANOTHER BIG WEEK
AT THE OPERA HOUSE

Manager Dudley has just received
advice from the Empire Theatrical
Exchange that the acts which they will
send for this week will surpass any
thing in vaudeville yet sent in. The
bill opens with Ross and Green, IN
Producing a comedy playlet with a
plot, entitled The Chorus Girl" Com
edy. travesty and burlesque being in-
troduced
Emile Subers, the great black face
that made hit here four or five weeks
ago, will play a return engagement
for three nights before entering on
his New York time. Manager Dudley
was fortunate in securing him for
even this short period. He made a
great many friends on his previous ap-
pearance, and all will be glad to learn
of his temperance.
The pictures will be the very best
from the leading studios of the world
The 10c, 15c and zoe prices will pre-
vail for this week, believing that the
patrons prefer having more vaudeviEs
acts, even if they have to pay little
bit more.

OIL MILL WILL SOON
START UP AGAIN
September lSt viii See
Machinery Moving.
Offering of Seed in the
Americus District VIII
Probably Average Up
Well.

The oil mills are preparing to re.
sumo operations for the season oi
1901. On or about September l they
will have their forces in service and
the machinery will begin the work OF
converting the cotton seed of this ter
ritory into the several products that
are now so valuable and in such ready
demand all over the world.
The mills as rule accumulate some
supplies of seed, few car loads, be-
fore they start up their machinery
They will probably lave such stocks
in hand by the close of the month an
will then have steady work before
them for some months.
The oil mills of Americus draw tLeie
seed from a district covering about a
hundred miles While in Sumter conn
ty there is quite a sharp falling off in
the cotton crop, and a correspondents
reduction in the amount of seed avail
able, it is said that in the rest of the
territory the decrease in seed supplies
Will not be SO great and that the dis
trict will average up pretty well as a
whole
What seed will bring this year is as
yet a mooted question. With reports
OF more deterioration to the Texas
and Oklahoma crop from the excessive
heat and lack of moisture it is re-
garded as quite probable that a sea
son of hig hpriced cotton, and conse-
quently high-priced cotton seed is
ahead. This is matter yet to be
finally determined, but there seems to
be no reason to expect anything but
remunerative prices for cotton and ali
of its products.
Mr.. G. w. Riley, of the Farmers
Cotton Seed Oil Co., who recently
made an extensive tour of South Care
ina in an auto, reports that the crop
n the large territory traversed by him
showed up much better than in Geor-
sla, the result of an absence of the
ong rainy season that prevented the
working of the fields in a large Sec
ion of this state.

HOSPITAL GOOD
WORK GOES ON
Seven Nurses Are Now
Connected With 1t.
Four Graduates and 3
in Training--NewH Hos
pital Building Must
Come Soon.

| Working along quietly and effect
lively, the Americus Hospital continues
the good work it has been doing every
since it opened it's doors to the pub
lie some four years ago and became
one of the permanent institutions of
the city.
The value of the hospital to the peo-
pie of the city and the surrounding
country becomes more marked daily.
Its reputation now is well established
and all that is needed to expand it's
work and render it more potent in
ffuence for good is quarters that are
more extensive and more adapted for
its especial needs.
While the erection of a new hospit al
worthy of the city and section may be
delayed for some time, it is a fore
gone conclusion that the indefatigabla
ladies in charge of the institutions at-
fairs will never rest until a modern
structure arises on some choice lot
that will typify the new Americus and
prove blessing to the people of the
entire country hereabouts.
From recent efforts some $500 have
been secured toward the purchase of a
lot In the fall and winter months
further steps will be taken to increase
this fund, and it is not improbable
that before the winter closes a sum
sufficient will be on hand to either en-
tirely pay for a large lot or to make
substantial payment on Whatever
site is selected Once a site is oh
tanned and paid for the present struc-
ture could be sold and bonds probably
issued sufficient to cover the difference
in the cost of the proposed new build
ing.
The nursing staff of the hospital
now includes four graduate nurses
and three in training. The graduate
nurses are the superintendent, Miss E.
B. Whatley; Miss Elizabeth Hopkins,
Miss Ellie Breeden and Miss s. H.
Benson. The pupil nurses are Miss
NhdSSlS MCMdLH, MISS Morgan ana MISS
Holland. The first two have been in
training for nearly two years.
The outside demand for the services
of the trained nurses connected with
the hospital continues, and the ex-
pertinent of having two on hand for
such work has proved very satisfac-
tory and profitable to the institution.
The advertising that the hospital re-
ceives through sending nurses to 9th
er points in this territory to nurse
the sick is very valuable factor in
building it up. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that another year may find
the force of trained nurses connected
with the hospital increased to five.
AS an evidence of what the women
of Americus can accomplish when they
put their energies unitedly to work
in good cause the hospital is an IL
lustration that all can appreciate.

BOYS LEAVE BEFORE
ENDING SENIOR YEAR
Demand for the Students
Reported Great.
Educators Still Come to
Americus to Inspect
Third District Agri-
cultural College.


1T is one of the hardships of our
institution" said Supt. Collum, of the
Agricultural and Mechanical school,,
when seen by a Times-Recorder re-
porter, THAT every year the demand
on us is so great for young men with
practical skill as mechanics and ma
chinists and the propositions are So
f1attering to them, that they accept
positions before completing the senior
year"
Continuing, the principal said ''Yes
We have demands for young men to
direct the management Of farms and
some have been placed in desirable
positions and are making regulations
for the school, still the mechanical
world has been the quickest to find
the kind of students that are going
out from the school. However. a boy
never gets position that, as a re-
SUIT, does not sent new students to
the school.
'.Other people than those looking to
bhe school for help are manifestin2
interest that is quite complimentary
to the school. In an article referring
to the school in the last issue of the
Dawson News, we get the following
extract:

These are strange facts" remark
ed the principal, that during the
spring term of the school. the en-
rollment from Sumter, Cobb and Ter
rell did not differ greatly in num-
bers, while Crisp is always Sumter's
rival in the number of pupils the re-
spective counties have in the school.
Up to the present date, for the new
school year, by far the greatest num-
bers have enrolled from the extrame
southern countless"
The superintendent feels very much
encouraged over tie outlook for tla
new year. The old mailing lists were
ntirely dispensed with; catalogues
and literature have been sent only
through request, and still forty GER
cent. more catalogues have been sent
out than any year before. Possibly

WILL DELIVER ADDRESS
WRITTEN BY MAN HE FIRED
President Nicholas Murray Butler Ad-
mits Latin Discourse Was Written
BY Prof. Peck.


NEW YORK, July "A cable from
London stating that President Mich
olas Murray Butler Of Columbia UNI
versity, admitted there that the Latin
address he Is to deliver before the
University Of Berlin was written by
Prof. Harry Thurston Peck, whose
resignation he has demanded, caused
much discussion In educational circles
here today. DR.. Butler said that Peck
writes Latin particularly well, and
that Il has been part or his duties for
the past several years TO write all Of
the Latin addresses issued by the uni
versity.
Prof. Peck made It plain today that
he had not charged Butler with Sail
ing under false colors." He said how
ever, that he had made the fact pub
lie to demonstrate that there was
some other reason for Butler demand
ing his resignation than any belief
that he was not competent to I'LL his
position.
Prof. Peck will apply for an In
junction restraining the educational
committee Of Columbia from follow
ing out Prof Buffers order and re-
placing him as Anthem professor OF
Latin. He said today that he has de-
manded a hearing before the trustees
and that II he In forced out he will
sue the university and President But

CITY TO sIzzLE
FOR WHILE YET
Weather Man Can See No Relief
From clustering Heat--Two
More Deaths Reported.

Friday was the hottest day yet. with
a maximum Of a5,s degrees. which
counts as % for al practical purposes
This is the hottest since July IL, 1894,
but the mercury still has to go some
to equal the high mark for the local
office. l01 degrees on July IL, 1855.
Down on the street, the kiosk regis
tered los degrees late Friday after
noon and the heat generated during
the day kept the pavements hot all
through the night, so 1t was the same
old story over again Saturday, with
no cooling interval.
And still there Is no relief on the
way, as far as the available dope"
in the weather ONCE indicates. OBJ
server Conger says there is a bare
possibility that 1t will be a trifie less
warm Monday, but II would not be
a safe chance to gamble on.
Fortunately the percentage OF hu-
midity has been small. but, notwtth-
standing that fact. two deaths from
the heat were reported Friday, and
there were a number Of prostrations.
Claude Bauch aged four months, No.

tins. The child was found dead In
its crib by the mother, after suffering
four days from the intense heat.
Mrs. Mary Misch. No. 284 Twenty

direct result OF the heat. The woman
was In a critical condition, Thursday
night, when her brother came to the
house and quarreled with her husband.
During the fray she ran out into the
street and there fell unconscious. She
was carried into the house and con-
tinued to fail rapidly until death came.
