PECANS BUDDED
On HICKORIES
NOT So GOOD
The RESULTS ARE PUzzLTNG
Mr.. Pryor Gives Report of
Experiments

Mr.. Guy A. Pryor, of Lee county,
was in Americus yesterday and in the
course of a conversation made re-
marks concerning his experiments in
budding pecans on young hickory
trees. The results he has obtained
from these experiments is somewhat
puzzling to Mr.. Pryor, as he is not
able to report the matter either an
entire success or an entire failure.
Some of the young hickory trees
.budded did not succeed at ALL" said
Mr.. Pryor, though some of the buds
We're blown out by strong wind that
came soon after they were budded. In
other cases, however, every bud placed
on young hickory trees lived. l feel
that did not try the experiment wide
ly enough and carefully enough to
make it one to be relied upon. 1t was
part failure and part success.
Il don't see why it should not prove
a success, when one considers the fact
that the two trees are of the same
family. 1t does seem that vigorous,
healthy pecan buds properly budded
on hickory trees should live and thrive
and give the same results as would
be true of their being grated on other
pecan trees. | haven't finished with
the experiments yet, and l hope to re-
port greater success"

ALCAZAR
OPENING
SUCCESS
in SPITE OF BAD WEATHER
Crowded House at AICdZdr
Last Night

A crowded house came out to see
he excellent pictures at the Alcazar
last night, and the crowd felt ampls
rewarded for the cool winds they en-
countered. The new photo-playhouse
was a delight to every one who saw it..
On the night before, which was to
have been the official opening of The
Alcazar, there was a large crowd
present in spite of the weather, which
was about the worst seen here in
many days. The attractiveness of The
Alcazar with it's many features makes
it the most pleasant resort for mo-
tion picture lovers in Americus.
Manager Wall said yesterday that
the pictures to be shown at The AL
cazar will be the very best It's stan
dard will be maintained at the high
est, as has been true of The Savoy, the
other motion picture house under the
same efficient management

USED CHUFAS
To FATTEN
MANY HOGS
Mr.. TAYLOR LIKES THE PLAN
Hog and Cattle Raising His
Speciality

Mr.. J. A. Taylor, of Marion county,
spent yesterday in Americus, formerly
his home, and told his friends here of
his success this year in agriculture le
is his first year as a farmer, and has
proven more satisfactory than did any
year of his career on the road when
he sold goods to the retail trade in
South Georgia.
OF course, he raised good crops Of
corn, cotton and hay, potatoes and 9TH
er products on his well titled farm but
it is cattle and hog raising principally
that interests him, and in which he
will engage extensively. Mr.. Taylor
is an advocate of chufas as the best
and cheapest feed for hogs, having fat
tened this year forty fine porkers on
field of two and a half acres planted
in chufas. The yield of nuts was heavy
being estimated at four hundred BUSH
els, although only a sufficient quanti-
ty for seed was gathered.
Next year Mr.. Taylor will go more
extensively into the raising of hogs and
will plant at least ten acres in chufas,
upon which he will turn two hundred
porkers next fall He could easily sell
all the chufas he could gather at SIS
or Sc per bushel for seed, but prefers
to use them in the manner described.
Mr.. Taylor is pleased with his success
full farm work, in which he thinks
there are great possibilities along adj
vanced lines of agriculture.

A MONSTER
CELEBRATION
ON MONDAY
BY THE DEMOCRATS HERE
Brass Band, Torch Light Pa.
radc, Etc.

Americus Democrats are preparing
to celebrate the recent Democratic
victory in a manner befitting the oc.
casion, and on Monday night next will
proceed to light up the earth and
make Rome howl 1t will be a der.-
tnstration surprising in scope an
magnitude any other that will be
tCld in South Georgia.
Led by martial music the cheering
hosts of Democracy will march
through the principal streets of the
city in a blaze of fireworks and the
light of torches while proclaiming
victory at the polls and the return at
last to "the house of their fathers. .
Not only will Americus folks cele-
brate, but as hosts they will invite
the people of all surrounding towns
and the countryside to come here ami
join in the festivities marking the
Wilson landslide and Democratic su-
premacy.
To the end of making the occasion a
complete success little time for pre-
paration was required, and Monday
night fixed upon as the date for the
celebration. Committees are busily at
work now, planning the program AMI
preparing the paraphernalia to be
turned over to the merry-makers.
A brass band will be secured, and
the strains of "Dizie" and the "Star
Spangled Banner" will smite the
ozone next Monday night.
Torches, such as are used by poIir-
ical marching clubs. will be secured,
along with an abundant supply #
cannon crackers, skq-rockets and Ro-
man candles, with other noise and
light-producing features. Speakers
will be invited to address the throng,
and Democratic oratory will add .
the enthusiasm. 1t has been twenty
years since Americus Democrats have
thus been afforded opportunity for
celebrating national victory Of this
kind, and they propose to put to the
blink any previous stunt in this line.

1AILORS WIN
STRIKE IN
SAVANNAH
ILL DEMANDS ARE GRANTED
And All Shops Have Resumed
Work

Savannah, Ga, Nov. THE strike
tional Ladies' Garment Workers end
ed today after the workers had quit
work exactly three days. The de-
mands of the unionists were granted
in their entirety and there exists now
complete harmony between the work
ers and the employers.
Probably this strike established a
new record for both brevity and quiet
ness. A number of meetings were held
by both the employers and strikers,
and several conferences between the
strike leaders and officials of the Sa-
vannah Ladies' Tailors association
were held, but at no time was there
even so much as a hint of violence or
disorder The men quit work at noon
Monday and last night the agreement
was reached whereby they will re-
turn to work at once. The men resume
work under an agreement that days
work is to be nine hours, with not to
exceed three hours overtime; time
and one-half for all overtime. The
former scale made ten hours a days
work, with no overtime limit
The Employers association, upon
granting the demands of the strikers
issued the following statement to the
public, today:
"In granting the demands of the
striking workmen we have made no
reservations. They get exactly what
they ask for, nine hours for day,
with not over three hours overtime.
"We have met their demands be-
cause we feel that We cannot afford
to tie up our business at this season.
Every ladies' tailoring establishment
affected has orders now which must
be filled at once. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to go East, get new tailors and
return with them to Savannah with
out delaying work on the orders OF
our customers. We cannot do any
thing but agree to the demands of the
workmen and be fair to our patrons
1t is going to cost us dear but we
are going to stand the cost"
Union officials are nos disposed to
crow over their victory. They went
quietly about gaining their point, and
, now that they have what the started
out after they are glad to be back al
work again.

MINNESOTA MAY
Change VOTE
TO ROOSEVELT
LOOKS LIKE TEDDY HAS IT
Count Not Complete But
Looks Bull Moose

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. Minnesota
apparently has swung from Wilson
to Roosevelt and the colonel proba-
bly, will carry the state by about
$4,000. Roosevelt found his greatest
strength in the rural districts.
Governor Eberhardt has been re-
elected by a plurality ranging from
10000 to 100000 The election of the
entire republican state ticket is prac-
tically assured.
Senator Knute Nelson is leading all
the republican state candidates. Re-
turns from about two-thirds of the
precincts indicate that his majority
over Dan W. Lawler will be about
10000. Ringdahl is leading the demo
cratic ticket.
1t is not probable that President
Taft's vote in Minnesota will greatly
exceed $4,000. The canvass of votes
is progressing slowly.
The vote, complete from 1888 OF
the 1868 precincts, including those in
Henchin and Ramsey counties, shows
that Roosevelt received 1895; Will
son S0,117; Taft 50,799.
Roosevelt in the canvass of votes
is gaining an average of seven and
one-half votes a precinct on Wilson In
the country, and should this ratio
F. continue his plurality will materially
exceed claims already set up by hi
i, followers.

PERSONNEL OF CABINET
MEAT FOR SPECULATION
Underwood and Clark Are
Mentioned

Washington, D. c., Nov. cabinet
makers are already busy conjecturing
with names of those who will share
with President-elect Wilson in shaping
the policy of the next administration.
Necessarily this is partly gossip, but
the cabinet builders are none the, less
active in pointing out the persons and
elements available as cabinet mate
rial
One of the available elements en-
braces those who were conspicuous as
party figures at the Baltimore conven-
ton, including Speaker Clark, Chair
man Underwood, of the ways and
means committee; w. j. Bryan, Gov
ernor Foss, of Massachusetts; Cover
nor Harmon, of Ohio, and some others.
1t is generally assumed, however,
that Speaker Clark and Chairman Un-
derwood would prefer to continue their
work in congress, especially now that
the legislative program on the tariff
and other questions is likely to meet
with fewer obstacles. AS to Mr.. Bryan
one of the democratic senators was
quoted during the campaign as def
nitely assigning Mr.. Bryan to cabi-
net place in case of Mr.. Wilson's cleo
ton, although the latter stated. about
the same time that no consideration
had been given to the personnel of the
cabinet. None the less speculation is
active as to whether the Nebraskan
will have portfolio.

The aged traveller was found very
i'll here and sent to the hospital as a
charity patient, where he died after
a weeks sickness. The body was eni-
balmed and efforts made to locate rel
atives or friends, with the result that
the wife of the deceased was found

Y CENTS
PAID FOR
COTTON
HIGHEST PRICE FOR SEASON
l3 Cents is Confidently Ex.
pCCtGd Soon

Americus warehousemen sold cotton
at twelve cents yesterday, the high
point of the season, and a 500-pound
bale of good middling quality netted
the fortunate owner 500 Not in a
long while has cotton sold in Ameri-
Gus for twelve cents-many months in
fact-and the occasion was one OF
general congratulation. Many attrib-
uted the rise in values to the Wilson
landslide and consequent assurance of
general prosperity, Be that as it may,
cotton is worth 12 cents nova cent
a pound more than it brought even a
few days ago.
The trend of opinion here, as else
where, Is that the market will con-
unue to advance steadily, and that ev-
en- thirteen cents is an assured figure
for the near future. The supply of
fine cotton is very limited, that re-
naming in the fields being stained,
and manufacturers are glad to pay a
stiff price for the high grades.
There is really little cause for COM
plant about cotton prices this season,
which have never fallen below 10 Ia
cents for the finer grades, and this but
for a short time, and with more than
a third of the crop yet unsold, farm
ers will receive as much for this crop
no doubt as for that of last season.
The price is IL cents now, compared
with ga cents for the same grades
one year ago.

that owing to the great demand from

he would make a good governor and
