PLENTY FRUIT
FULLY ASSURED
GROWERS HERE
PEACHES AND MELONS WILL BE
PLENTIFUL VERY SOON.

Americus will, within another week,
be testing the toothsome peachlet, the
earlier varieties which ripen in May
and are luscious specimens of their
kind. Following these early harbin-
gers of real joy, will come the Wiley
Bellies two weeks thereafter, and then
the peach season may be officially de-
clared open, and the world made glad.
Trees here are we'll laden, and the
crop prospect quite propitious.
All danger to peaches from cold has
passed and this years crop will fur
nish between 4,5OO and 5000 cars. In
both quantity and quality the south
Georgia fruit will be ahead of last
years crop, owing to the careful cul-
tivation and fertilization of the ground
and the spraying at different times.
Besides peaches, there will be a good
crop Of pears and plums this year.
Pear trees about the city and in local
orchards are filled with young fruit,
and the delicious LIE Contes will be
plentiful Then the melon prospect is
fine as well, with great fields of hun
dreds of acres planted in this delic-
ious fruit, and the unfed here may
soon revel in the red bosom of the
finest specimens at the cost of dime
only.

blackberry crop the best since the war

regulating the speed of automobiles
here in the city was going to be regid-
ly enforced and police court cases
docketed against speedbugs who will
fully violated the law, to the great
danger of pedestrians. Conservative
motorists heartily favor the enforce
ment of the ordinance and praise May
or Council and the police department
in this effort to insure life and limb Of
citizens against the onslaught of the
speedbugs, who run decklessly
through crowded streets here, oftimes
at a speed of fifty miles an hour. Po-
lice will be stationed ON certain streets
and the offenders arrested. A few
such arrests will have salutary eff
feet, and will soon put a quietus upon
dangerous, reckless racing here, both
of automobiles and motorcycles.

GERMAN COMPANY BUYS
ENGLISH TOBACCO FIRM
(By Associated Press }

BERLIN, May IS. - The so-called
Anglo American tobacco trust has at
last decided to abandon its fight for
control of the German market. This
shown by the announcement that a
number of the biggest ba ks of Berlin
have bought the controlling interest In
the Jasmatizi Company of Dresden
which is the English branch of the
Trust. The group of banks is headed
by the Deutsche Bank, Dreslner Bank,
dels-Gesellschaft, and the Bleich-
roeder Bank. With the Jasmatzi con-
Germ they also take over half-dozen
other firms in which Jasmatzi held
controlling interest. 1t is understood
that the money to be paid for the
stock will be sequestrated till after
the war in ordersto prevent it from
passing into English hands before
hostilities cease. The transaction is
greeted with satisfaction in German
business circles since it puts an end
to long fight for the German cigar
ette market, in which all the German.
owned factories we're arrayed against
the Trust interests.

HIGHWAY MEET
LIKE SUMTER

A message received last night by
President Carr S. Glover of the Cham
ber of Commerce brought the news
that two of the Dixie Highway" Com
missioners would pass through Amer
icus this morning, having arrived at
Albany this morning in time for break
fast. The Commissioners were Mr..
G. w. Saxon and Mr.. S. A. Belcher of
Florida. They travelled in automo-
biles from Tallahassee, Fla, to Macon,
intending to arrive at Macon in time
to catch the 400 P. M. train for At
lanta and on to Chattanooga.
A reception committee was appointed
by President Glover as follows: J. E.
Mathis, chairman of the Highway Com
mittee, Mayor Lee G. Council, G. w.
Riley, Arthur Rylander, Crawford
Wheatley, H. T. Chri 5tian, Frank
Sheffield, Frank Lanier, John Sheffield,
Frank Harold and Secretary Hyman.
This committee met these Commits
sioners in automobiles at Smithville
and escorted them to Americus over
Sumter county's magnificent highway.
Upon arriving at the Windsor Hotel
they were given an informal reception
in the banquet hall on the second floor
and several short talks we're INDUCED
in, referring to the excellent condition
of our roads.
Mr. Belcher stated that they had
never seen such fine roads in any
county in the South as they had view
ed since entering Sumter county.
While he would not, at this time, make
any promise as to the proposed route
of the highway, feeling as he did that
he did no want to pledge his support
to any particular route, yet he left the
impression that he thought our roads
were the best,
Mr.. Saxon stated very emphatic that
he was overtoyed to see the condition
of the roads. from Tallahassee all the
way to Americus, and that he thought
the Highwa.E as it now stood, was al
ready built, and the only thing needed
was to dedicate it and name it as "The
Official Scenic Route Through Georgia
and Florida"
The County Commissioners, with MIR.
Arthur Rylander as chairman, and Mr.
Henry Christian, road superintendent,
should feel very highly complimented
by what these gentlemen said of Sum-
ter roads.
Mr. Roy Booker of the Manufactur-
er's Record, of Baltimore, was guest
also of the committee and took lunch
with them Mr. Booker said that Sum-
ter county roads were one of the best
advertisements we had, and that they
were known all over the country.

German Answer to President Wilson's
Note VIII Place on England For Car
rylng Passengers and Explosives
Aboard the Same Ship.

PARIS, May 1S.--Germany will re-
ply to the note sent by President Will
son, after the sinking of the Lusitania,
on Thursday, according to news dis
patch to the Matines, an afternoon
newspaper here by its Amsterdam cor
respondent
The reply will seek to place all
blame on England and the United
States on the ground that the two
countries allowed passengers to board
a ship that carried explosives. 1t is
believed that Germany will refuse to
modify her policy of submarine war
fare.
The commander of the German sub
marine has made his report to the
German government and claims that
his vessel fired hut one torpedo at the
Lusitania. This was insufficient to
sink the big vessel unless she carried
explosives which would blow up when
the torpedo hit the liner.
The fact that a single torpedo sunk
the ship convinces the captain of the
submarine that the Lusitania carried
explosives in her hold Germany will
seek 10 throw the responsibility for
the tragedy on England or this
country
Americus times-recorder., 1915-05-18

Elbert Hubbard and his wife we're
among those who went down when a
German torpedo struck the Lusitania,
according to reports from Queenstown.
Ebert Hubbard, the seer of East
Aurora, created for himself unique
place in American letters by his wit
and epigrams and lately by his philos-
ophy of Big Business. First noted for
his pamphlet "The Philistine," with
ito keen satire, he later published
many books and made a success of his
own publishing and printing business
in East Aurora, where he established
a settlement of his workers known as
the Roycrofters.
He was born in Bloomington, ILL.,, on
June 19, 1859, and had only a common
school education, but he was honored
with the degree of master of arts by
Tufts College. He started a newspaper
career in the west, but went to East
Aurora, and from there built up his
printing establishment for the pub
lication of de luxe editions and pub
lished most of his books.
OF late Fra Elbertus, as he had been
known, had written much in defense
of leading men in business life and of
their business methods, although his
early writings were considered radical.
