They all look alike to me. But
usually vote a different ticket at the
primaries than at the election. In
that way 1 can get in two votes
against some candidates. To explain
what l mean: 1 could vote for Cruice
at the primaries and for Guinea at
the election. In that way could get
in two votes against Owens. If the
Socialists would use the balance of
power which they hold they would
become far greater factors than they
are. If half of the Socialists would
vote for Cruice at the primaries he
would likely be nominated. They
could still vote for Guinea at cleo
ton. There is usually no contest on
the Socialist ticket.
If they followed that plan for
time they would create such a condi-
ton that the politicians would take
notice of them. What do you think

Eight thousand, two hundred ami

to Confederate pensioners residing i'll

as the cheering information received
yesterday at the office of Judge John
A. Cobb, of the court of ordinary,
whose duty and pleasure it is to look
after the interest of Sumter's pension
ers, file their applications for them
and later to pay their their checks.
More than half the pensioners in the
state were paid their checks two or
three weeks ago, but many south
Georgia counties, including Sumter,
were not favored then. However, the
money due them will soon be forth
coming, Judge Cobb says.
Governor Salton has honored Il
warrant drawn by Pension Commits
sioner Lindsey for $3O4,565 to pay
fCrty-six of the remaining counties,
which leaevs forty yet to be pas. 1t
is hoped that sufficient money will
be in hand in a week or ten days to
pay the balance of about 100000.
Treasurer Speer stated that he was
prepared to honor a warrant for about
a quarter of million dollars, so Gov
ernor Slaton determined to have this
much go and not wait until the entire
balance needed was in hand

that the lucky counties are scattered

Last Year Georgia Factories Turned
Out $202, $4,000 Worth of Goods.

Atlanta, March 17-Georgia cities
are alive as never before in building
themselves up and many of them are
putting forth strenuous efforts to in
duce new manufacturers to locate
among them.
The Georgia Chamber of Commerc9
has sent out a letter to practically ey
cry city and town in the state asking
specific questions as to just what kind
CT new enterprises woud best pay IN
those communities and what co-opera-
ton and financial support would De
offered as an inducement to secure new
enterprises.
The answers have been prompt and
enthusiastic and it is believed that this
movement will result in bringing n
number of factory builders from other
sections of the country to Georgia. At
ter compiling the answeres received,
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce has
inserted notices in 125 Trade papers iii
the various lines throughout the Unit
ed States, telling of just what factor
les are needed in this state and offer
| ing to give full and free information to
anyone who would write to the organ
ization.
1t is interesting to note the variety
of industries that are wanted by va
ious localities. When it is known thar
there are already five thousand manu-
featuring establishments in Georgia
and that last year the value of the pro-
ducts of these factories was 1902 $685.
900, is is apparent that Georgia's pro-
gress in manufacturing from now on
will be even greater than that Of her
agricultural production.
The following number of cities want
the industries mentioned.

MERCHANTS QUIT
BUSINESS DURING
AMfRICUS SERIES
The DRUMMERS FEEL LONELY
When They go TO Other
Towns to Sell Goods

That Americus for two days has
drawn the populace of every town
within a radius of fifty miles, all eager
to witness the Boston-Cleveland series
Just concluded here, is reflected in the
crowds of out-of-town people throng-
ing the streets during each afternoon,
prior to and after the games. Barnum
&, Bailey's big tent spread here would
not have proved a greater drawing fac
tor.
Hundreds of automobiles lined the
curb of every street in the business
section and the majority of them
brought fan parties from neighbor~
ing towns.
Even in villages hereabout, where
league ball-severaI leagues behind
the Braves and Scouts-is played, the
crowds came to see the giants of the
diamond here. 1t was a privilege
rarely afforded, even to Americus fans
to witness such classy ball as that
played here this week.
The attendance from Albany is said
to have been particularly large-a fact
quite gratifying to local fans. A large
portion of the grandstand was taken
up by the Albanians, dozens of whom
enjoyed enthusiastically the best gaml
they have probably ever witnessed, and
later spent an hour Or two driving
over the city and marveling at the
many evidences of progress.
Probably twenty or thirty towns
large and small, sent over delegations
of fans yesterday to see the conclud.
ing game.
There's no use trying to do business
under such conditions as baseball few

mer here yesterday Il was in Monte
yuma the day before, and it is a fac
that not a merchant l sell there was

to see the game, and there will very

All of which goes to show that al

SEABOARD TO
INCREASE FORCE
AMERICUS DEPOT
A Big INCREASE IN TRAFFIC
Demands More Working Force
Here Now

Rapidly, increasing traffic in the
freight department of the seaboard
railway at Americus demands a pro.
portionate increase in the clerical
fcrces to handle it. The Seaboard's s
freight business here has been growing
rapidly in recent months, to such ex-
tent that more clerical help is re-
quired. To the end of investigating the
situation locally Mr.. V, c. Tompkins,
general travelling freight agent of the
Seaboard, spent yesterday here, and It
is understood that he agrees that the
increased business demands additional
forces to properly handle it. 1t is not
known as yet how many additional men
will be employed, but that the force
will be increased is quite certain.

1t was pointed out to council yes
terday that it would require the addi-
tional amount of $1,000 to erect the
proposed grammer school building.
This amount, with what is already in
the school fund treasury, will make a
total of about $4,000. This will ia
sure the erection of a handsome and
modern building of sixteen apartments,
sufficient for all purposes for many
years.
Council, it is believed, will favor the
proposed bond issue, and it will meet
with public approval as well. The is
sue of $4,000 of bonds for the hospital
will also be approved, as the rate of
interest under bond issue is consid.
erably less than that at which the
money could be borrowed.
