BUSY SEASON At
THE SEABOARD SHOPS
sa-s'~
No DiminutiOn in the Amount
Of Work

Out at-the Seaboard Air Line shops
here the current month gives promise
of being the busiest of the fall season,
although there has been no diminution
in the work there for several months
In all departments full forces of men
are at work, as during the entire fall,
and on full working time. The Amer
icus shops afford employment to 250
or 500 men in all of the departments,
anG these are kept busy at all times
Engines and cars are entirely over
hauled and rebuilt here, and this class
OF work affords employment to the
best skilled labor in that line of me-
chanics. Just now several engines are
in the shops for needed repairs, and it
/ requires a considerable force to keep
such an amount of rolling stock in
condition.
During the entire current years there
has been but very little decrease in
tie working forces at the Americus
sbeps, or in the working hours, and
conditions generally out there are said
to be excellent.

LOCAL INTEREST in
TOBACCO INSTRUCTION
In The Southern Part Of the
State

Americus people who are interested
in tobacco culture in Decatur county,
Ga, and Gadsden county, just across
the Florida state line, are keeping in
close touch with the situation down
there since night-riders, during the
past few days have destroyed by fire Il
number of large tobacco barns, with
all contents of tobacco. A great deal
of excitement has been created in
that locality by the burning of barns
and thousands of dollars worth of to-
bacco, and the result of the fight will
be watched with interest by tobacco
growers and the general public as
we'll
Mr. J. c. Carter, of Americus, who
is interested with others here in a
fine tobacco farm in that section, says
that the trouble originated between the
large and small producers of tobacco
over the subject of curtailed acreage
the price paid labor and other ques-
tions connected with the growing of
tobacco.
The small growers, to the end of
keeping up the price of tobacco, de-
sired to adhere to a wage scale and
also proposed material reduction in
the acreage. Many of the larger grow
ers, it seems, disregarded the wishes
of their neighbors in this respect, and
continued to plant in tobacco as large
acreage as heretofore. The barn-burn-
ings resulted, though it has not been
proven that any of the smaller pro-
ducers were responsible therefor. Mr..
Carter's barn has not been molested.
He adhered to the wishes of theo rgan-
ization and reduced materially the
acreage planted this year.

about forty years ago there was fell
low livin' in my neighborhood by the
name of Colquitt," said "Old Man" Ed

He was a pretty good sort of fell
low and me and him used to go hunt
in together sometimes. One day when
We was startin' out squirrel huntin'
Colquitt brought along his little boy to
pick up the squirrels. He was one Of
these here little weasly, tallow faced
chaps, the kind the doctors say now
have got the hook worms they talk so
much about He sure was a sickly
lookin' little fellow. Well sir" said

tobacco, they tell me now that little

Governor of Texas and asked him if
it was sure 'nuff true that he was that
same little tallow faced boy and he
wrote back word that he sure was and
he hadn't forgot neither the time he
went along and picked up them squir-
rels. l put that letter away and l al
ways expect to keep it, There's funny
things happen in this world, but sure
never would've believed that little chap
was a governor if he hadn't told me so
himself"
Gov. Colquitt moved away from
Thomas county with his family a
number of years ago, but he still re-

'POSSUM HUNTERS HAD
A VERY MERRY TINE
Large Party After the Mar
SupiaIS

A large party of merry 'posus mhun-
ters went out Monday night and bag
ged four fat fellows after an evening
of most enjoyable fun. The party was
made up of both ladies and gentlemen,
and they had royal time. The hunt
lasted until the wee sma' hours.
Messrs. G. M. Bragg and L. A. Nor
gan were in charge of the party, which
numbered, in addition to the wives of
these gentlemen, several other ladies
and gentlemen sufficient to make the
total very nearly a score. The 'possum
hunters went out on property owned
by Messrs. Bragg and Morgan along
the Central railway tracks in the
southern section of the city, wher,
they found 'possum in abundance.

EXTRA GOOD
DURING MONTH OF NOVEMBER
All Mail Was Carefully Weigh
ed Here

Postal records for the month of No
vember We're unusually heavy as re-
CARDS the amount of all classes of
mail that passed through the local
office. Though no record for the cor
responding month of last year is avail
able, as there was NO order from the
postal department to weigh the mail
that month, it is certain that the vol
ume of mail for November of this year
was much larger than that of last
year.
Records at the postoffice show that
the volume of mail for November this
year, received and distributed at the
postoffice, made total of 20,6Sj
pounds. For the same period there
was sent out from the postoffice here
1921 pounds of all classes of mail
making a total of 29,506 pounds of
mail handled altogether, both receiv-
ed and sent out.
No reason was assigned by the pos
tai department for wanting the mail
weighed during the past month Such
reasons are not given by the depart
nent ordinarily in asking for these
weight records. The weighing of the

The LEAGUE
AMERICUS GETS Meeting
OF Promoters Of New Base
ball League

That the next meeting of the En-
pire State league baseball organiza-
ton will be held in Americus next
week, probably on the 10th inst. is as

Elr. James Sinclair, temporary chair
man of the organization committee, as
expressed in a letter received yester-
day by Mr.. G. S. Gardner
The Americus Board of Trade eX-
tended the invitation for the meeting
here, inasmuch as Americus had prac-
tlcally determined to enter the league,
End it is gratifying to know that the
invitation has been accepted. In his
communication to Mr.. Gardner, who
attended the recent organization meet
ing at Waycross as the representative
from Americus, Mr. Sinclair writes en-
Enthusiastically of the prospect of sue
cess attending the newly organized
Empire State league That it will be
a "go" all right, there seems no doubt.
Mr.. Sinclair writes that Valdosta is
busy in preparation to get into the
game. At the meeting to be held in
Americus next week all of the South
Georgia towns entering the league will
be well represented, and the perma-
nent shaping up of the affairs for the
next ball season will take place.
Americus fans are pleased at the
assured fact that they will have league
ball next season, and will bend every
effort to the end of seeing to it that
this city has team equal to the best.
The committee appointed to secure the
$500 necessary, Messrs. Council, La
nier and Lowrey will look after that
financial end. Mr.. Sinclair express se
pleasure in the fact that Americus is
SO much interested in the proposition,
and takes roseate view of the sue
cess of the Empire State league.

PRESIDENT TAFT TELLS Of FOREIGN
AFFAIRS IN MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Lauds American Diplomacy and Says Bullets Are Out Of
Date Appeal to Congress to Uphold Foreign Policy

Washington, D. c., Dec 3.-A note OF
warning to European powers which
ty indirect means continue to dis
orn3inate against American trade; a
strong appeal to the congress to up
lift the great foreign policies of
America above mere questions of
craftsmanship; triumphant vindication
Of the diplomacy of the administra
lion, which is characterized as that
of dollars versus bullets" a MASTER
full Tride in the enormous expansion
OF American trade as result of the
foreign policies of his administration;
and an earnest appeal for joint action
by congress and the executive to open
new markets for American indus
tries-these are the more striking
features of President Taft's fourth
annual message sent to congress to-
day.
The message is the first of series
of such communications which he will
make to congress in the early days of
the session and deals entirely
with the foreign relations of the
United States. Beginning with the
usual reference to the existing good
relations with foreign powers, the
president adds that these have been
! str enlightened by "a greater insist
ence upon justice to American citi-
zens, or interests, wherever it maT
! have been denied, and stronger en-
ph1sis of the need of mutually in
commercial and other relations"
Fer the first time in its history
says the president, the state depart
nent has obtained substantially the
most favored nation treatment from
all of the countries of the world.
Therefore, he says that it is only
natural that competitive countries
should view with some concern the
exransion of cur commerce. Hence.
the warning, "If in some instances
The measures taken by them to meet
it sle not entirely equitable, a rene
dy should be found"
TO this end the president strongly
recommends the enactment of the bill
recommended by Secretary Knox last
December, permitting the govern
ment, instead of imposing the full
maximum rates of duty against lis
eliminating countries, to apply a
graduated scale of duties up to nat
lmaXimum of 25 per cent.
Flat tariffs are out of date, says
tile II esident. Nations no longer ac-
cord equal tariff treatment to all eth
er nations, irrespective of the treat
ment received by and from them. It
is very necessary that the American
government should be equipped with
weapons of negotiation and adapted
to modern economic conditions
The state department "an archaic
and inadequate machine, at the be-
ginnig of this administration, the
president says, has become a new or
ganization, with highly specialized
bureaus and experts, dealing with
every phase of American trade and
diplomacy. Holding that the essence
of this re-organized service is found in
the merit system, which President
Cleveland is credited with having in
troduced, President Taft makes a
strong appeal to congress to make
this machine permanent by giving
the force OF statutory law to the ex-
( ecutive orders governing admission to
and promotion in the Nplomatic and
