MIDSUMMER DULLNESS IS
NOT APPARENT LOCALLY
Much Work Of Construction
Being Done

The usual period of summer dullness
generally in evidence at this season,
apparently has little effect in Ameri-
Gus, either in a business or building
way House builders are as actively
employed here just now as at any time
within recent months, and in all po.'-
tions of the city the ring of the ham,
mer and saw is heard in the erection
of ne% dwelling houses.
In East Americus, over upon Brook
lyn Heights and out on the Southside
dwelling houses are going up rapidly,
evidencing the ever increasing demand
in Americus for more dwelling houses,
both large and small,
Among this large number Of new
homes are many very handsome and
costly ones. which will soon be ready
fo- occupancy. Conditions would seem
to indicate that Americus was still
abreast Of the times in building way
and the march Of progress unIrnpeded>.

MRS. FORMSBY WILL APPEAR
As Material Witness Against
Leo Frank

Atlanta, June 19.-Renewed interest
in the Mary Phagan murder mystery
was aroused today by the announcement
that Mrs. Nina Formsby, the roomine
house keeper, who is said to have
furnished the local police with an af.
tidavit bearing on the case, and who
some time ago, had return
ed to Atlanta.
1t is claimed by the police that Mrs.
Formsby's affidavit stated that on the
night the Phagan girl was murdered
Leo NJ. Frank, superintendent of the
factory where the girl worked, at
tempted to secure a room at Mrs.
Formsby's for himself and a girl.
Mrs. Formsby disappeared immc-
diately after publication of an article
purporting to give the gist of her affi-
davit Efforts to locate her proved fu-
tile. She is said to have returned ut
her own accord. 1t is understood that

CONDITION OF
CROPS IS NOW
PROMISING
WEATHER CONDITION BETTER
And Arouse Hope Of Usual
Good Crop

With a continuation of the present
season of "crop-growing weather" and
the impetus of showers, such as havs
fallen recently in several localities iii
Sumter, the young cotton will quickly
come out of the kinks and grow OFF
rapidly. The young plants are now
free of interests, and where the cotton
has been chopped out and plowed, the
improvement within the week has
been very noticeable.
Many fields are yet quite grassy, but
the farmers are working with a will,
and will master the situation within Z
few days. Farmers in Americus yes
terday stated that the corn crop was
ta ptionally fine in many localities
where rain has fallen recently, and til :
prospect for good grain yield is very
favorable at this time.
In the vicinity of Plains the crops
have been injured by droughth, and
rain is still needed there, but in other
localities east and south of Americus
the crop conditions are reported as
very favorable at this time.

Enthusiastic Fans Saw Locals Defeated

Cordele, Ga, June ia bad inning

twirler, caused the defeat of the vis.-
ors here this afternoon in the first of
a three-game series. Six hits surrend-
cred by the former college twirler in
a single inning, the fourth, was suf-
ficient to allow the locals to score
enough runs to cinch the game.
Gillespie twirled for Cordele and
pitched a good game. The hard hitting
Americus team which only the day be-
fore had garnered twenty hits from
Valdosta beavers in one game, were
able to connect with Gillespie's deliv
cry for only six safeties, which netted
them only one run.
Pratt showed nervousness at critical
times in the game, and the veteran bat

A crowded house, including play

efforts of Mrs. Marshall Martin, who as
the author and director of the, produ2-

conscientious men that ever melted
out justice on the bench. Not long
after his appointment as Judge he
was trying an action in which the
plaintiff sought to recover damages
for an injury that had caused him the
loss of an eye
The counsel for the plaintiff, dwell
ing on the seriousness Of the injury
to his client, spoke OF it as blighting
his career.
