AMERICUS WILL
PAY OBSERVANCE
LEE ANNIVERSARY
HON. LAWT0N B. EVANS WILL AD-
DRESS Z ID. c. AND VETERANS
HERE.

In Americus, as usual, the birthday
anniversary of the South's chieftain,
Robert E. Lee, will be fittingly observ-
ed with appropriate and interesting ex-
ercises. Next Tuesday, 10Th, is the
date, and legal holiday in Georgia, as
in other states. The Americus chapter,
U. D. c., of which Mrs. Frank P. Har-
rold is president, will direct the pub
lie exercises, which will take place at
three O'Clock in the afternoon at the
Opera House.
The orator of the occasion will be
Hon. Lawton B. Evans, of Augusta, a
graceful and eloquent speaker, who
will hold his audience throughout his
mastery discourse. Mr.. Evans is the
son of General Clement B. Evans, c.
S. A., whom so many of Sumter's vet
Grams followed upon the battlefelds Of
Virginia.
The exercises are open to the public,
and a general invitation is extended to
ALL and especially the ladies and Con-
federate veterans.
Upon conclusion of the exercises at
the opera House, consisting, aside
from the address of Mr.. Evans, of other
entertaining features, automobiles will
be in waiting in which the old soldiers
who followed the banner of Lee during
the civil war will be conveyed to the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Har-
rold on College street, where as guests
of Mrs. Harold they will meet Mr..
Evans. Refreshments also will be
served by the hostess.
The occasion will be one of very
great interest in Americus, and citi-
zens generally will participate there
in. Commander H. T. Davenport, of
Camp Sumter, U. c. ", is especially
desirous, as is the U. D. C. Chapter
of a very large attendance of veter-
/ Gus.

LOCAL DIARIES
INSPECTED AND
REPORTS FILED
CONDITION OF AMERICUS DIARIES
FOUND EXCELLENT.

Americus' source of milk supply, the
several commercial dairies here, has
recently undergone very rigid and
careful examination, at the hands OF
DR.. d. B. Mayes, city physician, as
to the quality of milk served the pub
lie, and conditions are found to be en-
tirely satisfactory Samples of milk
served were taken either from the de-
livery wagons or drugstores and cafes,
where delivery had just been made,
and subjected to minute and careful
inspection as to temperature, bacteria,
percentage fat, etc. Report for the
week beginning January 4th has been
completed, and it's contents reflect
quite creditably upon the excellent
quality of milk served in Americus
Pure milk is an essential of health
in any community, and Americus is
to be congratulated upon the safe
guards that insure purity and excel
lence in its source of supply.

OFFICERS CHASE
CONVICT KAYLER
BELOW AMER|CUS
THOUGHT TO BE UPON WARM
TRACK OF THE FUGITIVE.

Officers are upon the trail of Ivey
Kaylor, the white convict who on yes
terday morning jumped the Sumter
county chaingang near Scales Mill,
west of Americus and made good his
escape. The authorities have excel
lent reason for believing that Kaylor
is still within a few miles of Americus,
and that his capture will soon be effec-
ted. 1t was said today that Kayloer
had been seen hiding in the woods
near town yesterday afternoon. The
county commissioners will demand a
very thorough investigation of Kaylers
escape. Kayler had served about a
month of four years sentence for
manslaughter in having shot to death
an unoffensive old negro down in the
Fifteenth district in July last

LANDS
PECAN CULTURE
ABOUT AMER|CUS
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS LOOK
OVER THE SITUATION
HERE

Americus just now is the objective
point of quite a number Of persons in
terested in pecan growing and who
desire to invest in lands here so well
adapted to that profitable industry. A
party of Chicagoans who are already
interested in the pecan business in
south Georgia, came to Americus yes
terday to inspect lands desired for
other groves, while today another par
ty from Washington are in the city,
bent upon a similar mission. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the light clay
lands of Sumter are better adapted to
pecan culture than the sandy lands Of
more southern sections. Certain it is
that the pecans produced in Sumter
county orchards are unsurpassed, both
in the size of the nut, it's rich flavor
and general excellence.

The entire morning session of the
City Court of Americus was taken up
in trial of the case of Lee l.. Croxton
versuh R. P. Stackhouse and Boyd
Stackhouse, complaint for damages.
The case was entered upon yesterday

had not nearly been reached at the
noon adjournment. The suit is the re-
sit of an accident occurring on Cotton
avenue in 1912 wherein an automobile
driven by the Messrs. Stackhouse,
while rounding a street corner, ran
into the buggy of Mr. Croxton, it is a.
legged. The plaintiff claims to have
sustained personal injury as the result
of the collision, for which he seeks to
recover damages in large amount.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Despite the mo-
nlentary loss of interest in the Euro
pean wor forced on Italy by the re-
cent disastrous earthquake, the Allies
are expecting that little kingdom to
join them against the Kaiser within
the next few weeks. Both England and
France have offered whatever aid they
can render to King Emanuel in aliev-
iating suffering in the earthquake
zone.
That the Germans have renewed
their violent attacks on the Allies at
scissors and that for the next few
days fighting will center there is sur
missed from the news reaching here
during the last twenty-four hours. 1t
is known that the Germans at scissors
are fighting under the personal direc-
ton of General Won Kluck, and that a
large detachment of soldiers have been
sent there to reinforce the army un-
der the German general.
Despite the fact that German gains
near scissors have been made during
the past few days, the English are un-
dismayed, for it is evident that Ger
many still has an uphill fight before her
before she can regain positions lost
there earlier in the week.
Heavy SHOWS in the Vosges and tor
rental floods in Flanders have check
ed all operations in that territory. Suf-
fering there is at its highest.

COTTON SELLING
READILY AROUND
CURRENT VALUES
GOOD DEMAND IN AMERICUS FOR
EXPORT TRADE.

Americus Warehousemen have con-
tinued this week to reduce cotton
stocks somewhat, although not to the
extent that characterized sales made
here last week. and which totaled very
near the 1,800-bale-mark. Despite the
decline of few points within the past
day or two, the market has ruled
steady and numerous sales of small
lots are reported here. Practically all
of the cotton being sold in Americus is
for export to the European countries.
There is more interest shown on
the part of people who usually pay
no attention to cotton, a strong ap-
peal, apparently being made On ac-
count of the price of the staple, and
the fact that it is still below the cost
of production.
These two factors have exerted a
great influence in favor of purchases
for long pull and many contracts
have been taken out of the market for
the time being.
There is also continued good buying
of contracts by Liverpool and the Con-
tinent. One of the chief factors in
favor of the constructive position is
the better understanding of the new
contract, which demands a high grade
of staple, and is undoubtedly check
ing hedge sales that ordinarily would
have been made against cotton that
grades low.
There is much talk of exports be-
ing curtailed on account of the current
high ocean freight rates, put foreign
ers continue good buyers of the ac-
tual, and with cotton selling at be-
tween 20c and 22c in Bremen, as
against Z 1-2 here, it is not likely that
high freight rates will interfere with
purchases for some time to come,

ROME, Jan. 15.-Details of devasta-

district continue to reach this city
hourly, and enough is already known
to show the disaster will assume the
proportions of a national calamity.
The shake which SO nearly destroyed
Messina six years ago, closely re-

just turned all Central Italy into a
huge morgue, with between twenty
five and fifty thousands corpses to be
buried. Thousands are still uniden-
titled and rescue workers continue to
unearth bodies as the task of remov-
ing fallen debris continues.
Interrupted telegraph and railroad
communication with the district most

as to the number of casualties for
many days, though Italian authorities
are exerting every effort to learn the
full extent of the damage. Sixty viii
lagos and towns are known to have
been either totally destroyed or bad
ly wrecked and thousands of homes
have been utterly wrecked. Numerous
pitiful cases of persons who lost ev-
erything in the disaster, have already
come under the observation of rescue
workers and every effort is being made
to provide shelter for these homeless
ones. Hospitals in every part of the
stricken district are filled to overflow
ing with injured victims and many
buildings which escaped damage have
been turned into stations where tenn
porary aid is being given those less
seriously injured. The dead are be
ing buried as rapidly as identified b!
