EIGHT Cl6AR MAKERS IN
THE NEW FACTORY.
Wiring Around to Get More
Help For Demand.

Eight swift cigar makers are daily
turning out several thousands of the
new brand of Amerieus cigars, the
Commercial, the product of the La
Celada factory, in the quarters over
the Bank of Southwest Georgia
The demand exceeds the output of
the new cigar factory, the second
successful factory of this character in
Americus The managers are endeav-
oring to secure more cigar makers
and yesterday telegraphed to several
points in an endeavor to add two
or three to their working force. The
orders for Commercial cigars are so
much ahead of the present productive
capacity of the factory that it is alb
solutely necessary to get in additional
help as quickly as possible.
The Commercial is made of import
ed Havana and Porto Rico filler, the
wrappers being from THE tobacco plan
tation of Messrs. Carter and Jossey,
La Celeda, from which the company's
name was taken, 1t is a fine five.
cent cigr and is making name for
itself quickly.
With two cigar factories employing
over forty cigar makers Americus is
certainly forging to the front in that
line of industry. 1t is not at all
improbable that before the close Of
the year there will be over fifty cigar
makers employed in this city.

PATTERSON WAS GIVEN
RESPITE, AS EXPECTED
Hanging Today Deferred
for Present.

Henry Patterson, the negro murder
er of Capt. w. F. McRae, and who
was sentenced to be hanged this morn
ing, is granted the usual respite, as
is always done here in murder cases,
and the execution goes over until May
18th. The only chance at delay left
open to Patterson was an appeal to
the prison commission, the usual
court of last resort" and Patterson
took it at the eleventh hour. While
this usual delay was fully anticipated
Sheriff Esagin nevertheless had pro-
ceeded preparations for hanging
the murderer, and the galloWs was
in trim for the tragedy. A stay of ex-
ecution of three weeks is thus Sc
cured and Patterson has that much
more time wherein to reflect upon
his atrocious crime and merited pun
ishment.

MUST RtPLANt ONE
HALF GEOR6IA CROP
That is Opinion as to the
Cotton Outlook.
But Georgia's Great
Peach Crop is Saved
for Fancy Prices.
Especial to Times-Recorder. ,

Atlanta, Ca, April 26.-Fully fifty
per cent. Of the cotton crop of Geor-
gia must be plowed up and planted
over, thereby causing the crop to be
a month late and number of bales pro-
duced to be curtailed greatly. This
is the summing up of the damage by
cold weather and frosts Sunday and
Monday nights, as estimated by Com
missioner of Agriculture T. G. Hud-
son.
Both Commissioner Hudson and
Weather Forecaster Won Herman be-
lieve that the cold has not been Sc
we're enough to kill outright cotton
that is already up, but it will injure
and retard the growing plants and
will cause seed not already sproutad
to rot in the ground, resulting in the
necessity of general replanting. Both
the peach and vegetable crops were
practically unhurt.

IMP OR RTANT CHANGES IN
PUBLIC SCHOOL RULES
May Have a Morning and
Afternoon Session.

AT the monthly meeting of the Board
of Education last night a number o.
important matters were considered
among them the regular report of the
superintendent, embodying a number
of suggestions or more than ordinary
interest and importance.
Among other things Supt. Miller rec
commended that the school hours be
changed, that there be two sessions
a morning session for recitations and
an afternoon session devoted to stu
dying under the direction of the teach
ers.
This suggestion arose from the fact
that many children devoted the after
moons entirely to play or street
roaming, parents not requiring study
on their part, either then or at night
Studying during certain appointed
hours, under the eyes of the teachers
seemed to be the most efficacious rem
edy for this.
1t was also recommended that If
the selection of teachers hereafter
preference be given to those whC
have had a normal school training
The placing of more authority in th'
hands of the principal of the Higl
School was also suggested.
The recommendations met with thu
approval of all of the Board present
1t was stated by several in the ensu
ing discussion that if possible NOR
men should be employed as teachers
especially in the higher grades.
The report was referred to tile Com
mittee on Rules, which will bring il
resolutions embodying the propose
suggestions, in all probability.
The full report of the superintend
ent will appear later in the Times
Recorder.

DAMAGE TO CROPS IS
NOT GREAT IN SUMTER
Cotton and Corn Nipped by
Frost.
Peach Crop Not Injured
--CanteIoupes and
Vegetation Escape

Americus and adjacent territory re-
celYed the brunt of the recent blizzard
Yesterday morning in the form of kill
ing frost, as predicted, and while the
loss sustained to vegetation was not
so great as predicted it was sufficient
to necesstate considerable replanting
of crops.
A brief summary of damage sustain
ed according to reports from different
sections of Sumter county, is as fol-
lows;
The magnificent peach crop sustain
ed no injury whatever.
Young cotton in localities was
killed, while the crop generally IS
badly damaged but not to the extent
of necessitating replanting.
Corn was severely nipped by the
frost, but will recover.
Vegetable gardens are more or less
injured, but VIII not have to be re-
planted. Even tomatoes, and beans,
growing in t1e open garden, es-
capped destruction largely, although a
few gardeners here report about half
the crop killed.
The Fruit Was Protected
Greatest satisfaction is felt in the
escape of the peach crop here from
any injury whatever. There are half
a million bearing trees in the Ameri-
Gus territory and all are loaded down
with the finest crop they have ever
borne, and which promises a golden
harvest
Not a peach will drop off as a re-
suit of the cold yesterday.
Mr.. ]. L. Glawson, manager for the
Ware-Progress Orchad Co., owning a
hunded thousand trees, brought the
Times-Recoder a pocket full of
peaches as large as hickory nuts and
each one pulled yesterday morning
from the tip end of limbs where un>
protected by foliage.
Every peach cut open was of healthy
appearance and evidence no injury
whatever.
Mr.. Glawson is very positive that
no damage whatever has been sus-
tianed by this late frost, and this opin-
ion is Held by others of the large or
chard owners. That a bumper crop
will be made in the Americus territory
is assured and the fruit will be fine
Cotton win be Replanted.
That some portion of the cotton crop
must be replanted is assured, but the
acreage damased is not as great as
at first feared There will be enough
seed for replanting, as any deficiency
on the farm can readily be supplied
from the stocks of Americus oil mills
TIKI, five plants re will be in posi-
tion, no doubt, to supply all demands
for seed.
The fact that the two main crops
cotton and corn-escaped destruc-
ton is an immense relief, as had this
been the case the farmers would have
been put to great expense and addi-
tional labor in replanting, while the
harvest would have been delayed as
we'll
CanteIOupe Crop is Nipped.

cradle one near Americus, felt the
effect of the frost yesterday, as did

are nipped to some extent, but the in
