Americus oil mills are having an ex

large plants here are being operated

section of south Georgia are alike
prosperous, and while the price of seed
has advanced sharply quite recently
the mills find little difficulty in keeping

Quite recently the price in Americus
has advanced from $22 to $25 per toll
Last season seed sold here at one time

In the agricultural papers one reads
so much about cotton seed only found

GREAT SUCCESS
ATTENDED SALE
OF SUBDIVISION
FIFTY LOTS QUICKLY SOLD
By Carolina Development Co.
At Good Prices

The most successful sale of Ameri-
Gus realty and one In its results re-
fiecting values here and wonderful de-
velopment as well, was that of he
Hooks-Andrews subdivision of the
James Ansley property yesterday af-
ternoon. Fifty residence lots, beauti-
fully situated, were sold within the
brief time OF 104 minutes by the Caro-
line Development Co.
The situation o. the property made
sales easy and this fact, connected with
the modern methods employed by thu
Carolina Development Co, made the
lots go just as rapidly as they could
be put up and cried by the rapid-fir 2
auctioneers.
The large crowd attending the sale
was most gratifying and evidenced the
interest in the sale Of Americus prop
erty. Hundreds of Americus' very best
people were present TO enjoy the fine
band concerts, and these quickly b.
came interested In the bidding fol
ifots and became home buyers upon ths
attractive terms offered.
Fifty desirable residence lots were
sold, among the purchasers being
Judge J. A. Hixon, Messrs. Geo. Oil
yer, J. e. D. Shipp, o. J. Passmore, ]
L. Westbrook. w. E. Parker, Ned Saw
yer, DR.. J. r. Scully, City Engineer j
B. Ansley, G.. L. Mathis, W. A. Clevc-
land ]. C. Webb, w. D. Bailey and
many others whose names cannot be
recalled at the moment.
That the purchasers were highly
pleased and satisfied customers was
evidenced by the fact that several oi
them, after the sale, declined to sell
their lots at good profit The lots
are in a locality which is bound to
grow and develop rapidly, and every
lot sold was good purchase.
Messrs. Hooks and Andrews hav.
conducted several similar sales here
most successfully, and as developers ot
Americus and Sumter county real es
tate are live wires indeed.

NOW CONFERRING
ON Light PLANTS
WITH new YORK INTERESTS
End In View the Merging of
Plants Here

Representatives of the Americus
Power Co., and of the Americus coun-
Gil are in New York today in confer
ence with the holders of securities IT
the Americus Gas & Electric Co., rela-
tive to the proposed consolidation Ct
interests of the two electric lighting
and power plants in Americus, prop
osition discussed for some time here.
The Americus party includes Messrs.
Frank Lanier, Frank Sheffield, Lee AL
len and Attorney w. P. Wallis. The
party arrived in New York yesterda",
and will remain several days in the
metropolis upon their mission.
The proposition under consideration
is very generally understood, and need
not be repeated here. Briefly, it has
in view the consolidation or merger o.
interests and closing down of one OF
the plants here, upon basis to os
agreed upon by stockholders of the
two companies. This basis of agrees
ment will be announced later.
The matter, a very important one,
has been before the public for some
time and may be%disposed of satisfac-
torily at the conference of interests
now in session in New York, where
all of the stock of the Americus Gas
& Electric Co. is held.

The White House Still Remains Silent
As to Mexican Policy-Say They
Are Waiting For More Information

Washington, D. c., Nov. 12.-Cor-
ferences now being held betwe On
VIM. Bayard Hale and General vs.
nustiano Carranza at Nogales are
interpreted. in officials circles here as
the first open move by the United
States government to show it's in
terest in the constitutionalist move
ment in Mexico.
No officials commented today on
Mr.. Hale's exact status, but on a
previous occasion, when he spent
three months In Mexico City gather
ing information, President Wilson
let it be known that Mr.. Hale was
there as his personal friend. Mr..
Hale transmitted reports, however,
and took part in conferences with
John Lind and Rear Admiral Fletch-
,er Little doubt exists IN diplomatic
. circles that while Mr. Hale retains
the character still Of unofficial en-
voy, he Is furnishing the Washington
government with information for Of
fetal purposes.
1t was pointed out by some observ
ers that Mr.. Hale's conferences were
not necessarily a forerunner Of
recognition but might be an impor-
tant factor in determining the future
attitude of the Washington govern
ment toward the constitutionalists.
Mr.. Hale probably will report On
the personal characteristics of General
Carranza, whether he has the unite |
support Of all constitutionalists, or
revolutionists, or whether, If success
full by arms, he would establish q
provisional government that would
guarantee fair and free elections.
There is also a possibility that the
information he gathers may he useful
to the state department in its ey-
changes with foreign diplomats her ,
The diplomatic corps in Mexico City
Is said to be at disadvantage in max
ing reports on the constitutionalists
as its only source of information the e
is the Huerta government.
There were no announcements here
today as to the future steps in the
American policy. News of the arrival
at Nogales of Mr.. Hale gave rise &C
the suggestion that Washington wai
waiting for more information about
the constitutioualists before proceed
