100 ADDITIONAL
BOXES REQUIRED
AMERICUS OFFICE
BUSINESS ON THE INCREASE-
CHANGES IN THE DELIVERY
DEPARTMENT

Evidence of the substantial and
. steady growth of business in Americas
is reflected in the increased volume Of
mail matter handled at the postoffice
here, and which now demands enlarg-
ed facilities for its proper disposition.
Not only is an increase shown in the
business department, but ligewise in
the volume of mail matter, both in
coming and outgoing and more par
ticularly in the rural delivery and par
eel post departments.
The parcel post is now an established
institution, and its popularity steadily
increases. The wonder is how the bus
mess interests of the country ever got
along without this great convenience.
While an enormous amount of mail
matter is thus handled here by the city
and rural carriers, the increased de-
mand for letter boxes is surprising.
When the new building here was erect
ed the installation of about $50 lock
boxes was deemed sufficient, but for a
year or two past the demand for lock
boxes exceeded the number available,
and requsition was made upon the
postofice department for an increased
number.
Plans for the installation of 140
new boxes have been prepared and
Postmaster Davenport is now having
them put in, thus increasing the tota!
number of boxes in the local office to
about 400. But even these will soon
be taken, such is the demand for pri-
Vate boxes. The general delivery WIN
dow will be shifted to the right main
entrance, a distance of six of eight
feet, to make room for the tiers Of
new boxes.
This is only one of the many sub
stantial improvements made in the
Americas Office and fully warrante !
by the growth of business there.

.AMERICUS FOLK ARE BUSY
BRACING UP THE TABLE
Cutting Feed Bills BY Planting Large
Gardens.

Never before in our business have
we sold such quantities of garden
seed, said an Americas druggist to d
1.-THE fall garden is receiving all at
tention," he declared. And this is be-
yond doubt. A good garden now, and
any thrifty citizen can have one, will
go far towards cutting down the feed
bill at the grocery story. English peas,
turnips, beets, onions, lettuce, rape,
cabbage and other varieties impervious
to mild cold can be planted now, and
a grand fall garden thus assured.

BAD MAN FROM
TEXAS TERRORzES
DECATUR STREET
Especial to Tmes-Reeorder.) .

Especial to Times-Reeorder.) -
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 20-Gang way,
gang way! shouted Bud Nixon last
night, on his way down Decatur street.
And as he spoke he yelled like a CO.
manche Indian and fiourished a gilt
tering object in his right hand. Deca-
tur street gave him room-plenty OF
room. In fact, the denizens moved
clear off the sidewalks.
The alarm finally reached the police
station, and a trio of policemen went
on the trail of the desperado They
found him in an alley with five SILVER
ing negroes lined up against the wall
like captured spies before a firing
squad. Nixon was marching up and
down in front of them, announcing MS
purpose.
I'm bad man from Texas, and I'm
going to lore you all full of holes" he
declared. Il kill me a niger or two
every evenin' after supper"
The officers closed in with a flank
movement and Nixon was captured
without struggle.
Gimme that gum" demanded the
policeman.
you mean this?" demanded Nixon,
and he turned over a bright new BIZ
cycle wrench. He had terrorized the
street and held Up a quintet of husky
negroes with nothing more deadly.

Especial ovTimes-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 2O.-Joseph A
McCord, vice president of the Third
National Bank of Atlanta, has been
formally elected governor of the new
federal reserve bank soon to be open
ed here. The directors met in the Of
fee of Colonel Ed T. Brown, the fed
eral reserve agent, and chose the Off
GERS.
Mr.. McCord, one of the most widely
known fnanciers in the South, has had
a remarkable rise, due solely to his
own efforts and ability. He was born
in Newton county and his first job was
that of a grocery clerk in Conyers. He
became chief clerk in a railroad Office
in Atlanta, then assistant cashier of g
bank, and finally vice president of the
Third National, one of the strongest in
situations in the city. He has been
chairman of the legislative committee
of the Georgia Bankers association,
and has aided in drafting many laws,
including the report which brought
about the federal reserve act creating
the Atlanta and other reserve banks.

TEXAS QUARTETTE
PLEASES AUDIENCE

The Texas Quartette, singing every
afternoon and night this week at the
Opera House, has made decided hit
with Americas vaudeville patrons.
Their first appearance Monday cement
ed their stay in the city, and it's 100
toll shot that they play to record
houses as long as they remain here.
Their program Monday night was es
pecially pleasing. That Memphis Blues
was a veritable scream. Mr.. Haggerty
in a bass solo Loudly the Bell in
the Lighthouse Rings" made decided
hit with the audience. The Texas
Quartette changes its program each
day and gives a matinee for the ladies
and children each day.
