SELLING THEIR
DISTRESS BALES
HANDSOME PRICE
AMERICUS HOUSES TURNING
LOOSE THE "BUY A BALE.

Americus merchants and corpora
tions here have put back into their
money tills the past week several
thousand dollars which, last fall they
patriotically invested in cotton during
the "buy bale" movement. This cot
ton was bought with the idea that it
would aid the farmer who, at the
time, found it next to impossible to
sell his cotton even at six cents. Many
Americus business houses bought from
one to dozen bales, which were
proudly displayed in store windows as
ebidence of their patriotism. This
cotton, much of it, was bought at ten
cents, and is now being sold at 10 1-2
cents, a profit of $3.50 per bale on the
finer grades.

PRISONER LEFT
BEFORE SHERIFF
REACHED SCENE
QUEER STUNT DONE BY MISSISS.
IPPI OFFICER.

Deputy Sheriff Lucius Harvey will
return to Americus this morning from
a long and, Unexpectedly, fruitless
trip to Meridian, Miss, where he went
Friday morning to bring back jim
Fitzgerald, baseballist, who posed as
second baseman on the "Muckalee'
bunch this summer. Fitzgerald was
wanted in Americus upon a warrant
sent to Meridian, charging larceny az
ter trust.
But he never came back, and prob
ably never will.
The warrant was issued because Of
the alleged appropriation of hand
some gold watch and ring, the prop
erty of prominent young lady here
whom, it is alleged, entrusted the jew
elry to the baseball luminary.
Fitzgerald, it is claimed, pawned
the watch and gold ring, and then
flew away to other diamonds-and
trusting maidens.
Fitzgerald was located recently in
Meridian, where Sheriff Fuller sent
the warrant after having been noti-
fed of Second Sacker's apprehension
officers there wired that Fitz would
come back without requisition papers,
and Deputy Harvep went for him, ar
irving in Meridian Saturday morning,
To his great surprise, upon arrival
he was informed that the ball tosser
had made bond and been released from
custody. He could not be located ii
Meridian yesterday so Sheriff Harvey
wired, and that officer will return
without him. Just how a prisone!
wanted in Georgia could give bond in
Mississippi and be released from
custody is puzzling to officers here.
The young lady's watch was founC
here, where it had been pawned, while
the ring was located in Birmingham
pawnshop. Fitzgerald got into trouble
in Americus over an alleged unpaii
board bill, while on the Muckalet
team and was locked up, local fan:
afterward raising the money demand
ed and securing his release from dur
ance vile.

COMMISSION AND
BANKERS ABOUT
ARRANGED LOAN

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-The Anglo
French commission and bankers nego-
tiating the mammoth credit loan for
Great Britain and France has held an
othed secret session. They are trying
to adjust the differences over whether
the credit shall include the payment
for war munitions. The commission
ers want the loa to do so.
Many bankers think that other
means should be found to pay for
munitions. The so-called pro-German
bankers are willing to subscribe lib
orally if the munitions matter is left
out.
An agreement has been reached cor
cerning the duration, the nature OF
the loan, and that the interest is not
to be over per cent.
The commission is holding firm to
the point that the loan be open to
subscriptions of bankers and investors
alike.

The modern crematory or inciner-

Plum street in rear of the old and

was finished yesterday, and the first
dump of garbage from the streets had
already been disposed of even before
probable "kickers" knew anything at

Some difficulty was experienced in
getting the plant located, owing tc
needless protests made by property
owners in other localities selected, but
the plant is fully equipped for opera

SMASHED AUTO

The car, badly wrecked, was found

new RAILROAD IS NAMED AND
WORK ON CONSTRUCTION WILL
BEGIN IE NEXT THIRTY DAYS
Meeting of Chamber of Commerce Call
ed For Tuesday Night at p. H., When
Matters of Urgent Importance Will
Be Brought Up

The new railroad is the Americus
Hawkinsville and Eastern railroad. l.
will be known as the "Ocmulgee Rive
Route"
The entire amount of money neces
sary to build the railroad has been
secured from Western capitalists.
The actual construction on the new
railroad will begin within the next
thirty days, and every penny spent on
supplies will be expended among the
merchants of Americus
All of these developments came in
a conference held during Saturday af-
ternoon by ]. S. Morton, president oi
the Georgia Lumber Company, an1
Secretary Manager E. H. Hyman, OF
the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Morton reached Americas pre-
pared to build the railroad, and it is
no longer a dream, but springs forth
into a brilliant reality.
A meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce is called for Tuesday night, al
s o'clock, to consider the final plans
of building the new railroad in tn;
next thirty days.
1t is urgent that every member o.
the organization lay aside all othe'
engagements for Tuesday night, ani
be present at this meeting, which
means more to Americus and Sumter
county than any other similar even
in years.
The question is squarely up to tn
people of Americus and Sumter coun
ty. By their action, it will be know
whether they want the railroad.
The Americus, Hawkinsville am
Eastern railroad will mean much tt
Americus, because of the enforcement
of the railroad rates which provide'
an increase of rates from per cent
to so per cent, except where cite
have direct water connections, an
can issue water and rail rates com
bined.
By reaching Hawkinsville with tn
new railroad traffic arrangements viii
be facilitated whereby freight ma
move via Hawkinsville and Bruins
wick, on the Ocmulgee river.
One item is where Americus woul
save S1.25 on each bale of cotton shil
ped to the Carolinas, whereas toda
the markets are closed to this city.
At the meeting of the Chamber c
Commerce called for Tuesday night
detailed statement will be presente
at the meeting relative to the buildir
and operation of the new railroad.
A feature of the conference was tn
promise of Mr.. Morton to Secretary
Manager Hyman that every dollar {
supplies will be purchased from tn
Americus merchants.
Ten miles of the proposed railroa
is built from Games to within one mi
of Byromville. From Games to Uns
dilla is a distance of twelve mile
which the citizens of Unadilla hay
promised to construct.
The new road has right-of-wa
from the City of Americus and tt
County of Sumter.
Americus stands on the brink
onnortunity, and her citizens are e
nected to speak their wishes at Il
meeting of the Chamber of Commer
Tuesday night.
