Five carloads of cantaloupes have
been shipped from Americus within
the week, or rather two carloads have
gone and two others will go forwar
today. Shipments of watermelons and
cantaloupes from Americus will be
larger this season than last year, If
seasons remain favorable.
The watermelon crop here this year
will be one of the largest in years, and
GOOD returns are expected.
Reports of the movement of the
peach crop for the last week show
more conclusively than ever the short
age of the crop During the last weeB
.153 cars were handled by the Cen

31S cars have been handled, against

PART MAYORS SALARY
FOR CITY RECORDER
This is Plan Likely to Be
Adopted

If Americus secures a recorders
court as the result of the bill that
will soon be drawn up and presented
to the legislature, the salary of the
mayor of the cityy will in all like
lihood be reduced so as to furnish 4
salary for the new judicial officer.
Under the present scale of salaries
the mayor receives 5000 per year The
suggestion is made that the mayors
salary be cut in half, thereby leaving
the city's chief executive salary OF
$3.50, while a similar salary remains
to be paid to the recorder, who as
sumes the judicial duties that now
.devolve upon the mayor.
Whether there will be a complete
revision Of the salaries of the mem
bers of city council under the new
plan remains to be seen. The mayor
pro TEN receives a salary of 5000 per
year, while each alderman receives a
salary Of 500 per annum, This scale
of salaries will probably remain un-
changed, as the various salaries are
now considered sufficiently low for
the duties required.
Those who favor a recorders court
will likely favor the reduction of the
mayors salary to meet the expenses
Ito be incurred by the proposed change,
Jas removing the judicial duties of the
mayor takes away large part of the
work that must be done by that Of
fetal. For this reason it is believed
that this arrangement would prove
an equitable one, as it is believed that
an efficient recorder could be OBJ
tanned at salary of $3.50 per an
mum, even if there was no further
increase in the salary.
AS the legislature convenes today,
it is necessary that the bill be pro-
vide for the recorders court should
be drown up at once. This duty will
probably devolve upon the city attor-
.ney. The hope is entertained that the
bill may be prepared and placed be-
fore the Legislature in time to Sc
cure its passing at the present ses-
sion of that body No opposition TO
the institution of recorders court has
been noted thus far.

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Three Respondents Before Judge
Lawrence Wednesday.

Vital Cyr of Fairfield was before
Judge F. F. Lawrence in the NUM-
cipal court Wednesday on the charge
OF search and seizure. Sheriff John
A Mooers and his deputy, Charles
Chute, had business Monday in Fair
field and as Mr.. Mooers was casual
ly strolling along near Mr.. Cyr's home
the expressman drove into the door
yard and unloaded a box Sheriff
Mooers had an idea that the box
might interest him and he stepped
up and asked Mr.. Cyr what he was
drinking over the Fourth. Mr.. Cyr's
answer was Only little beer" On
opening the box the officers found
three gallons of whiskey and before
they could get the whiskey out Of the
box, two men came up and said that
they owned a gallon each OF the
whiskey. Judge Lawrence decided
that Cyr must have had the whiskey
for sale and therefore found him
guilty. He gave him a sentence of
500 and costs or 80 days in Jail. Cyr
wanted to appeal the case but was
unable to find bondsmen There were
two other respondents before the
court Wednesday, one being Mrs. Vi
tai Cyr who it was alleged sold in
toxicating liquors to party in April.
Because of the witness for the State.
who it is alleged bought the liquor Of
Mrs. Cyr, the case was continued un-
til July 10. The other respondent
was George Abraham of fairfield, who
it was alleged, sold two pints of
whiskey to a party. This was the
same witness as in the Mrs. Cyr case
and Abraham's case was continued
until July 10. E. y. Merrill appear
ed for the respondent,
