CANNING PLANT
CONSUMES MANY
CARLOADS FRUIT
A BUSY Scene THERE NOW
Hundreds of Operatives Are
BusiIy Employed

One of the busiest industries about
Amerlcus juts now, and during the
next two months, is the fruit canning
plant under the management of the
Messrs Langrel, of Baltimore, who
have operated it during several sue
.cessive seasons. The plant started IN
on full time this week, and will be
operated throughout the peach St
here, and as long as the fruit can be
obtained in quantity sufficient to war
rant its continuance.
This cannery puts up several excel
lent brands of peaches from the med.
lum grades to the best selected table
article, and employs a large force OF
operatives in it's several departments.
Owing to the lateness of the crop,
we are little late in getting under
way" said Mr.. Langrell yesterday,
"but conditions are very favorable now
and we anticipate a successful season
of canning in Americus."
The management has contracted with
several local peach growers for the
entire output of their orchards and
deliveries are being made daily. Both
the Mitchell and Glawson orchards are
selling fruit in large quantities to the
Americus plant, while carload lots Of
fruit are shipped from Americus from
the Fort Valley districts and other
orchards in south Georgia where the
fruit is grown in any quantity.
Just as present the cannery is put
ting up daily thousands of cans of
Georgia Bellies" and later, will get
busy with the Elbertas. In a success
full season, when the fruit is plentiful
as during the bumper" peach crop of
1911, more than a million cans peaches
are put up at the Americas plant. Ev-
erything there is strictly sanitary and
scrupulously clean, and the process is
alike interesting and instructive. Over
$50 employees were at work there yes
terday peeling and putting up the fruit
and this means a very considerable
weekly payroll.

Bailey

FIeeport, N. Y, July S.-The in

night of the murder. She has main
tanned, however, that she was dress
ed in a kimono and in her bedroom.
In this contention Mrs. Carman was
borne out on the stand today by her
young daughter, Elizabeth.

ANOTHER JUDGE
SUGGESTED FOR
GEORGIA COURTS
RELIEF OF JUDGE SPEER
Such Measure is Proposed
By Congress

Washington, D. c., July S.-After a
conference with Attorney General
McReynolds, at which every phase of
the case was gone into, Representa-
tive Yates Webb, chairman of the
house judiciary committee, today an
nounced that he would at once begin
the preparation of the bill creating an
additional judgeship for the southern
district Of Georgia, to relieve Judge
Emory Speer of much of the work of
the district.
The attorney general gave his hear
ty approval and vouchsafed his coop
Grafton in securing the passage of the
bill.
The house is found to be adverse to
the creation of an additional district
in Georgia as proposed in bill be-
fore congress for several months, bur
a poll of the judiciary committee
shows that a bill would be favored
creating an additional judgeship fo-
the southern district to merge into the
judgeship now held by Judge Speer,
when it becomes vacant by reason of
resignation, death or otherwise.
Two such bills have been passed by
this congress as solution of trouble
some conditions wherein vacancies by
resignation or otherwise were possible
1t is not thought there will be any
fight over adopting the report of the
ub-committee on the impeachment
charges against Judge Speer, since
the findings of the subcommittee de-
clare the facts do not warrant i'm
peachment.

Macon, Ga, July S.-The bottom OF

for thousands of quarts of whiskey now
being stored in the barracks of city
hall, secured by Chief of Police Riley
and his aides in raids on saloons so
far this year.
City Attorney Walter before this

the whiskey may be destroyed and the
city, at the same time, not be held re-
sponsible for the destruction.
Much Of the whiskey has lain in
the cells at the city barracks for
months awaiting its owners. The own-
ers themselves so far have hesitated in
claiming the whiskey.

Huerta and Villa Crowds

Washington, D. c., July S.-Mex-
lean territory probably will be sug-
gested for the conference between the
Huerta ENJOYS and constitutionalist
delegates over plans for establishment
of a provisional government. Consti-
tutionalist representatives in Wash
ington today said in their opinion any
such conference should be held at g
neutral place in Mexico; probably On
the border.
With dissension among the con-
stitutionalist leaders apparently near

lutionary junta repeated expressions
of confidence that the proposed
parley would be ar
ranged. 1t was said by the Carranza
agents that definite answer from
their chief would arrive within
another week.

SEARCHERS BUSY
SECURING WOODS
near MON7EzUMA
AGED VETERAN Still MISSING
Lost in Woods and Cannot
Be Found

Despite rigid search, carried on by
hundreds of men, the disappearance
of Uncle Jack" Robinson, an aged
Confederate veteran, living at Ogle-
thorpe and we'll known in Americus,
remains mystery so far as the public
is concerned. He was last seen on the
afternoon of his disappearance as ne
entered Buck creek swamp, four miles
west of here, on his way to pay visit
to relatives on the other side. The old
man, Confederate veteran, feeble and
childish, had his pension money, am
ounting to about sixty dollars, upon
his person at the time.
He secured the money at local
bank the day before and several ne
groes saw him in the act, and accord
ingto Chief Walters, of the local po-
lice department, suspicion points
strongly to one or two of them.
Citizens generally of this section
fimly believe he met foul play, as his
body would have been found some
time ago if he had died natural
death, but the disposition made of the
body is what puzzles Macon county
folk.
Search has been thorough. The
country and swamp was secured gen.
orally following the disappearance by
bands of men, but to no avail. After
ward a camp was established, the
searchers organized, and line of men
placed twenty feet apart, combed the
brush for miles in a fruitless effort to
find the remains. The camp is still
established and the search is being
kept up.
Various theories are advanced as to
the disposition of the body in case the
old man was murdered, and of this
every one seems satisfied. The gener-
al belief, though is that the body was
weighted and sunk in Buck creek, in
which case it will prove hard to re-
cover. A thorough dredging will be
necessary, and this will be the last
resort, after the surrounding country
has been searched to the satisfaction
of those concerned.
Rewards have been mentioned, and
several citizens have volunteered to
give amounts ranging from $25 to $50,
and it is proposed to ask reward
from the governor for the discovery OF
the remains or information as to the
fate of Mr. Robinson.

"BOY IN APPLE TREE"

By vote of % to 1, the senate
Tuesday placed it's official stamp of
approval upon Websters Blue Back
speller, when it passed the resolu-
ton of Senator McGregor, of the Nine
teenth, and Senator Allen, of the
Twentieth, recommending the book to
the board of education of the state for
usage in the common schools.
Il offer an amendment to the bill pro-
viding that the picture and story Of
the little gray squirrel be placed in
the back of the book as in days of
yore," asserted Senator Miller, of the
Twenty-fourth.
Il accept your amendment and sug-
gest that the story of the little boy in
lAC dppiS l1SS anu oil Tic OluSI SIOl
les of the days of yore' be included in
the book" replied Senator McGregor.
And then he took from his desk a
copy of the old book, and delving with
unerring accuracy into its recesses
read the story of the little boy in the
apple tree to the senate.
Philosophy In 1t.
This little book contains more
philosophy than any other book in the
world of its size and lots more thaa
