INSURANCE RATE
REDUCED OCT. |
SOUTHEASTERN UNDERWRITERS
ASSOCIATION Announces THAT
RE-CLASSIFICATION STARTS ON
THAT DAY.

The reduced insurance rates for
Americus will be effective October 1st,
according to a letter received by Mr..
J A. Davenport, secretary of the local
insurance board.
This communication is as follows:
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 81, 1917
Mr.. Jas. A Davenport, Secretary Local
Board, Americus, Ga.
Dear Sir:
Referring to the re-classifcation Of
your city will say that it is apparent
now, with the shortness of special
agency force, that we are going to be
delayed in giving Americus the ratings
they are entitled to, therefore, we wish
to advise the local agents, through you
as secretary, to the effect that the
rates when promulgated for Americus
will be effective as of October 1st,
1917. We hope to have a corps OF
special agents in Americus within the
next two weeks on this work, but as it
it a rather large proposition, it will
take in the neighborhood of two
months to complete the job, and we be-
lieve that the insuring public is en-
titled to the reduction from October
1st.
Trusting that this will relieve the
situation. we are. Yours truly
JOS. RAINES, Secretary.
Property owners are anticipating
with much interest the prospective re-
duction of their insurance.

BOO MOUNTED
MEN On THEIR
WAY To MACON
EXPECTED TO ARRIVE BETWEEN
FIVE AND SIX 0'CLOCK-TO BE
SERVED WITH REFRESHMENTS
DOWN TOWN.

Between eight and nine hundred
troopers of the First Alabama Cavalry
In charge of Lieutenant-Colone Walden
will arrive in Americas this afternoon
and will spend the night here
The cavalry is expected to arrive
here between five and six o'clock, prob
ably nearer the former hour.
These troops are on their way from
Texas to Camp Wheeler at Macon.
They spent several days in Columbus,
and camped last night between Buena
Vista and Ellaville,. 1t was their or
iginal plan to go to AndersonVille
from Ellaville, but they were persuaded
by a delegation from the Americus
Chamber of Commerce to include this
city in their itinerary.
Early this morning Messrs. Frank
Lanier, Frank Harold, Crawford
Wheatley and P. A. Fennimore went to
Ellaville to meet the troopers and to
invite them to Americus. Lieutenant
Colonel Walden accepted the invitation
at once.
The cavalry will parade through the
streets of Americus, and will then go
to a place near the agricultural col
lege where their tents will be erected
for the night.
All of the men are on horseback,
and besides they are bringing with
them an immense train of forage and
camp wagons. It will be the largest
calvary division ever seen in this part
of the state, since the days of the Con-
fcderacy.
Forty gallons of ice cream and hun
dreds of cakes have been ordered by
Mr.. Frank Lanier and will be served
to the soldiers en- Lamar street this
afternoon
The troopers have bugle corps,
which will render a concert, by request
Information that the cavalry were
coming to Americus circulated through
the city today and aroused great inter
est. There will probably be large
outpouring of citizens to greet the
soldiers.

WHETHER AMERICus AND ATLANTIC
RAILROAD WILL Be EXTENDED HERE
PROBABLY Be ANNOUNCED TOMORROW
Philadelphia Capitalists Who Are Behind the Project Are Ex
pected to Make Their Decision Today-Already Spent
$175OOO on it-Now Within Sixteen Miles of This Cit

Americus will probably know tomor-
row whether it gets the Americus &
Atlantic railroad.
The engineer has made his report to
the PHILADELPHIA financiers who are
backing the project, and their decision
is expected to reach here tomorrow in
the form of communication to Messrs.
Wallis & Fort, who are their attr-
neys.
Already $4,000 has BEEN n~expended
in this enterprise, by the laying of
track from Meta to the western bank
of the Flint river, distance of four
teen miles. The right-of-way has been
extended six miles further, to Meth
WINS store, which is about ten miles
from Americus.
If it is definitely decided to continue
with the project, the road will be
brought into Americus and eventually
pushed on to Edison. This will then
give a connecting route between By
romville, on the A., B. & A. and Edison
on the Georgia, Florida & Alabama. 1t
will also afford a direct route, for both
passengers and freight, from Talla-
hassee to Atlanta, with Americus being
tie largest city on the line.
Mr.. Hollis Fort and the Chamber Of
Commerce here spent a great deal of
time and effort in obtaining informa-
tion wanted by the Philadelphia pro-
moters in regard to the resources of
this city and county, and presented
such an imposing array of facts that
it is no 'ei the northern financiers will
be convinced of the desirability of fur
ther ex6fnding the railroad.

"Ge After Big FelloDs"
judge Tells Grand jury

ALBANY, Ca, Sept. 25-In his
charge to the grand jury in Dougherty
Superior court, Judge w. M. Harrell
suggested to the grand jurors that if
they did not have the courage to go out
for the big fellows" they should leave
the "little fellows" alone. He depre-
ciated the tendency in some counties to
enforce the law against the poor white
man and the negro and to let the more
important offenders go free.
Get the gamblers who play for big
stakes" he said, cor else let the negro
skin games alone" Enforcement Of
all laws was urged by the judge, who
stated that Albany is the hub of all
southwest Georgia, its leading CONNER
cial city, with visitors and shoppers
coming here from all sections of the
state, and for this reason it should be
made also the best city morally by
enforcing all penal laws vigorously.

SOLDIERS CAN GET AWAY
ONE SUNDAY EACH MONTH

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 25.-Soldiers
of the national army arriving at Camp
Gordon, the great cantonment near
Atlanta where 10000 or more troops
will be trained for service in France,
dc not expect to get away from the
camp more than once month on Sun
day.
The word has gone down the line
that one-tenth of the men in the can
tonment will be given leave of absence
every Sunday, and this will work out
only occasional trips to the city. 1t is
believed, however, that the percentage
will probably be raised so that fourth
OF the soldiers will be allowed to leave
Camp Gordon for Sunday, in which
event each man would get trip every
month.
General Eben Swift, commander OF
the camp, is planning to march the
whole army of 10000 troops through
the city in a grand parade when he get,
them uniformed and drilled. This viii
be the greatest military parade tn,
city has ever seen. For several hours
the long line of men in khaki viii b
marching through the streets and pre-
parations are being made for a genera
half holiday and patriotic celebration
in honor Of the event.
