METAL WORKERS
INSPECTING new
AMERICUS PLANT
VISITORS Spend A DAY HERE
Well Pleased With AmeriCus
and Vicinity

Prominent among the visitors II
Americus yesterday were a trio of
large manufacturers of Dayton, Ohio;
men engaged extensively in the metal
working business there and who, while
making trip to. the South, stopped
here to see the extensive new plant
of the Southern Art Metal Co., recent
ly established and now in successful.
Operation.
In the party were Mr.. W. H. Cavan
augh, president of the Canton Ma
chine and Foundry Co.; Mr.. c. A. r.
win, president of the Canton Sheet Me-
tai Co, and Mr.. F. M. vogan, manu-
facturer and designer of sheet metal
products.
The party of Ohioans came first to
Atlanta, and while en- route to Birr-
ingham, stopped over in Americus to
see the new $4,000 plant here. Man
ager Rose, Messrs. c. c. Hawkins ana
]. w. Hightower, officials of the Amer
ials of the Americus company, showed
them over the plant, and also gave the
visitors an automobile drive over the
city and county roads.
The Ohioans were most fayorabiy
impressed with conditions here, not
only as manufacturing point, but
agriculturally and otherwise, and with
Americus as one of the best little cit
les they had visited in their travels
down in Dixie.

COTTON TIES
NOW COMMAND
PREMIUM PRICE
Tie FAMINE in The SOUTH
Sends Up Price. Ties Hard
to Procure

Whether or not the supply of cotton
ties now in the possession of Americ as
dealers will meet all demands until
the rolling mills catch up with delayed
orders, it is fact that every dealer
here could today sell his entire stock
of ties in other markets, and at fine
profit over the price he paid for them.
Such procedure, however, would
prove disastrous to trade generally, as
cotton could not be marketed without
tiles to hold the bales, and commercial!
paralysis would very soon exist here.
Local dealers have only limited sup
plies and cannot purchase another buu
die of ties from the mills in three
months, according to the statement of
a prominent wholesaler here. There is
a ''tie famine in the land and supply
mon are offering fancy prices for all
they can procure.
AS evidence of this fact, an Americus
house was offered $1.75 per bundle by
a Little Rock firm for any number Of
bundles shipped there. The offer was
declined, notwithstanding the fact that
the same ties will be sold in Americus
at $1.35 per bundle within the next few
weeks.
The retail price of ties here now is
$1.35 to $1.40 per bundle.
The Americus house will thus lose
forty cents per bundle in the sale o.
the ties, and as their supply is 5000
bundles, it may be seen what it will
cost this house to take care of its south
Georgia rade. 1t canQot afford to do
otherwise.
The bagging supply is short, as wei
as the stock of ties, but not to such ex
tent. One Americus house sold large
lot of ties in Macon a day Or two ago
as the supply there was well nigh ex-
hausted.

WORKERS BUSY
Upon PLANS TO
REOPEN c.. A.
MEETING is WELL ATTENDED
Strong Effort to RG.eStabIiSh
Association

By unanimous vote on Tuesday night
at special called meeting held at
the Presbyterian church, the board o.
directors of the Americus Young Men S
Christian Association decided to ar
range for such additions and changes
as will make of their excellent build
ing on Jackson and Church streets
one that will be perfect in all ap-
pointments.
1t is hoped to have it re-opened this
fall in charge of a trained general
secretary of experience with a physi-
cal director, competent to supervise
the bodybuilding activities of the as
sociation and direct the work of the
boys department
The management of the association
was led to this action after thorough
discussion which had been preceded
by examination of the condition of
the association, and a positive cou.
viction that nothing but well con-
Quoted, properly equipped Young
Mems Christian Association can meat
the present urgent needs of the young
men and boys of our city.
The plans for rehabilitation include
a swimming pool, steam heat, some
tinting, with other repairs.
that will render the building even more
attractive than it ever has been an
attract to it's privileges our men and
boys by the scores and hundreds.
Mr.. w. Woods White, of Atlanta,
chairman of the state committee o:
the Young Mems Christian Associs-
tion of Georgia, was present at the
Tuesday night and added
much to the interest. He expressed
himself as delighted with the possi-
bilities of the work in our city and as
certain that the citizens of Americus
would commend and back up the ad-
vance step taken. Mr.. ]. v. Read,
state secretary, was also present, and
will remain for a time, rendering as
sistance in working out the details CT
the plans.
An active campaign upon the lines
suggested will be inaugurated shortly
and with every reason to hope and ex-
pect that the Americus association will
coon be upon a solid basis once more.

PARAIIONS
COMPLETE FOR
FALL SESSION
AT AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Another Record Attendance
is Indicated

Everything is getting in shape ous
at the Agricultural and Mechanical
school for the opening of the new
school year on next Tuesday, Sent.
End. Prof. H. j. France, principal Of
the department of science and agricul-
ture, who has spent the summer at ths.
University of Virginia, is already az
the school. Prof. ]. w. Cole, who has
aiso been at the University of virginio
during the summer will reach the city
on next Saturday. Miss Annie Sue Nc
Kie, teacher OF domestic science anal
arts, and who took a summer course az
the University of Georgia, will reacn
the school the latter part of the week.
Prof. j. M. France, head of the me-
chanics department. came in from his
north Georgia home about two weeks
ago.
Supt. Collum has remained at the
school during the whole vacation Pc
riod The school being an industrial
school, and also a boarding school,
that must compete with all Other
schools that depend upon boarding pu-
pills for patronage, the vacation
months are he INST strenuous OF the
year. Again, since the school has
become so widely advertised, the work
has more than doubled. The meage-
support given by the state will not al
low the employment of stenographers
and typewriters.
Not in the history of the school has
so much interest been shown in iJs
work. More than twice as many in
quiries for catalogues, ETC., have been
received than ever before. More for
NAL applications are on file than ever
before. The prospects are that tha
student body will come from a larger
territory than any year in it's history.
ing students that the dormitories will
not be open for the reception of stu
dents until September 3D. 1t is anti
cipated that many of the old students
will not think it worth while to be
present on opening day, and on ac-
count of the expected numbers that
have in the past come unannounced the
fears complications in
handling what now promises to be an
overflow.
The action of the board in, at one
time, barring girls on account of has
ing no dormitory room for them, AMI
then later when new dormitory had
been built for them, to reinstate them
has necesitated much effort to re-
ieve the public mind as to the impress.
sion that girls are still barred. How.
ever, there are now only few places
left for girls.
During the last two months ne@
plastering has been put ON the walls
Of the boys dormitory, and the build.
ng otherwise has undergone such re
pairs and re-furnishing as to make
this building one of the neatest ON the
grounds. The inside furnishing Of
the rooms gives them the appearance
Of being new.

Protect the Gullible.

In some states, statutes have
been enacted, regulating what, in
common parlance, are known as
wild Cat" investment compan-
les. We are told that thousands
upon thousands Of dollars are
annually invested in fake mining,
oil and land companies, by the
unsuspecting and gullible citi-
zens Of Kentucky, many Of them,
widows, upon false assurances OF
big returns, made by some &C
complished crook who is getting
at least half Of the spoils.
In the states referred TO, be-
fore such concerns can do bust

The Maysville Pike

The government engineers
have completed their estimates OF
the cost OF constructing a model
highway from Mt. Sterling to
Sharpsburg and Montgomery
county is $4,000 short and Bath
county lacks $4,000, Of which
sums it is hoped the government
will contribute one-third, as it
did at the beginning.
We are reliably informed that
the citizens Of Bath county will
undoubtedly raise the additional
sum needed there. The citizens
Of Mt. Sterling have already con-
tributed literally as has the
county and it is now up to the
citizens along the road to in
crease their former subscription.
forty per cent. and thus raise the
necessary $1,000.
So small a sum ought not be
permitted to stand in the way of
an improvement like the one pro-
posed. We will possibly never
have another opportunity of Sc
curing outside aid and IN o,-
judgment, this is our only chance
of every having a truly model
highway. We therefore hope
the citizens interested will raise
the necessary amount by increas-
ing their subscriptions at once.
