SYRUP AND FEED
MILL De BUILT.
HERE VERY SOON

The first substantial stand in the
fight against the boil weevil, was an
nounced this morning.
The Farmers Products Co., has been
organized, to be owned and operated
by the three wholesale grocery houses
of Americas, and it is long step Of
these Americas business men, to throw
this industry into the breach in the
battle against the boil weevil. The
three houses are Americas Grocery
Co, Glover Grocery Co. and Moreland-
Jones Grocery Co.
The plant will manufacture syrup TO
be packed in cans and glass. 1t will
make mixed stock feed, with the in
gradients of molasses, low-grade sy-
rup, corn, oats and velvet beans. Sugar
cane and sorghum will be used for the
syrup.
1t is proposed to have the plant in
operations by November list and with
in the next year it is planned to con
struct large brick plant with mag
nificent machinery. Besides the bene-
fits for the farmers in using their prod
ucts besides cotton, it will mean an
other pay roll for Americas indus
try.
The plant will be in charge of ].
Ralston Cargill, of Columbus, who
has been in the city several days in
connection with the enterprise. He is
a business man of wide experience,
ard will actively advance the industry.
The farmers of Sumter county are
urged by the new concern to grow the
products which the plant will use, AMI
they are assured of good market
price, and one that they can realize
a profit by growing. All of the cane
and sorghum, together with the other
products can be used in the mill in
Americas.
Several sites for the plant are now
being considered, and Americas awaits
It'll deep interest the construction
and operation of the plant.
The farmers of Sumter and adjoin-
ing counties can receive the news with
pleasure, for they will soon have a
market for their crops, other than cot
ton. and Mr.. Boil Weeyil can gnaw
the earth of southwest Georgia in utter
despair.

Sheriff William Taylor, of Randolph
county was killed Monday night, ac-
cording to news received in Americas
this morning. The sad information
came when ]. W. Harris, OF Cuthbert
telephoned Congressman C. R. Crisp
that he would be unable to attend the
convention here today, and that Ran
delphi would not likely be represented
because of the deep resentment AMI
feeling following the sheriff's MUIR
der.
None of the details of the shooting
are known, except that Sheriff Taylor
was out last night, hunting several ne
groes. The difficulty developed from
this action.
Mr.. Harris was to have made one Of
