ROBBERS MISS
A$5O,OOO SAFE
However, They Make
OFF With One With
$1,000

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 21.-City de
tectives, working with investigators
for the American Railway Express
company, began today to investigate
the possibility that the $16,500 rob
berry at the company's offices here
last night was planned from the in
side. The police were furnished
with the names of the guards who
were held m by SIX armed men while
transferring safe containing the
money from the office to a truck in
the rear of store for shipment.
Less than an hour before the rob
berry, another and larger safe con-
tanning more than $4,000 passed
through the same door and was taken
to the railroad station and placed
on train. This, doubtless, was the
one the robbers were after, the DO
lice point out. The smaller safe was
carried off and has not been found.

imes-Recorder Carriers Now
Work On fit-Sharing Basis

The Times-R Recorder, as stated in
Mondays issue, appreciates the lib
eral support it is rtceiving from the
citizens of Americus. The man
agement is trying to establish as
nearly perfect delivery service as is
humanity possible. In order to do
this it is necessary to use carrier
boys of ability and a sense of the
responsibility resting upon them. We
can not secure and hold such boys
on mere weekly stipends, just for
the delivery service. 1t has been
determined, therefore, to use the
independent route, or profit sharing
system, and it has already been in
stalled.
In this manner of handling the de-
livery and collections, the papers are
sold to the boys direct. They d.
liver the papers, collect for them,
and pay us a nominal charge for
them each Saturday. The rate tor

FLORIDA FEELS
NO TIGHT MONEY
Fruit Vegetable And
Tourist Crops Bring
ing In Money

L. A. Morgan, who recently took
up his residence among the citrus
groves of. Fort Meade, Fla, was in
Americus today, having been called
to Pinehurst, Dooly county, by the
death of his sister, Miss Sara Nor
gan, who died Sunday and was bur-
led there Monday. Mr.. Morgan will
return to Fort Meade tonight.
He reports a heavy crop of
oranges, tangerines and grapefruit
this year with fair demand at profit
able, although not high, prices. He
has already sold several hundred
crates from his seven acres of bear
ing trees and will have a large num-
ber still to market.
"There is no money stringency
and no hard times in Florida" he
said. Everything is booming. The
state is overrun with tourists every
where, and they are spending their
money. The fruit is moving at good
prices, and the vegetable crop is
good and bringing in money. A
neighbor of mine just few days
ago finished marketing his cucumbers
which yielded him over $1,000 per
acre. He has overhead irrigation.
1t is a great country and we enjoy
it immensely. l do my own fruit

EXPRESS SHOWS
XMAS ACTIVITY
Rush Slow In Starting
Here, But Gets Under
Way

The Christmas rush in Americus
rather late, has hit the American
Railway Express company here, ac-
cording to Manager Wade Morris
Mr.. Morris says that for several days
he has been expecting the usual
rush but first noticed an increased
business yesterday. Today, he stat
ed, it was beginning truly to look
like Christmas time.
"Of course, we don't get as many
small packages for Christmas as does
the parcels post SYSTEM" said Mr..
Morris. "Our business comes
largely from the merchants order
ing fruits and other Christmas spe-
cials. ! have noticed marked in
crease in the number of these spe-
cials handled in the last two days,
especially today. This shows that
the merchants are now doing good
business. In fact, / expect we will
have a normal Christmas"

MISSISSIPPI STATE LEFT
WITHOUT FIRE INSURANCE
Risk CONCERNS Withdraw AS Result Of Huge Suit

ment Is r cached

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-One hun
dred and thirty-eight fire insurance
companies are suspending business
in Mississippi, where their aggregate
covering policies amount to approXi-
mately one and a quarter billion
dollars. The action is the outgrowth
of suit flied again them by the
revenue agent of Mississippi charg-
ing that in collecting the same rates
the companies have created a COM
bine in restraint of trade.
Announcement of suspension was
made here today by the National
Board of Underwriters. 1t was ex-
planned the state revenue agent con-
tends that alleged violation of anti
trust laws of Mississippi subjects
each company to a penalty of two
billion dollars. To enforce payment

the Times-Decorder is Is cents per
week in advance. IS cents by the
month in advance, $1.95 for three
months in advance, $3.50 for six
months in advance and $3.50 by the
year in advance.
1t is the desire of the manage
ment that ultimately the majority
of the citizens of Americas will pay
by the week in advance. Those who
prefer to pay for longer periods and
do not care to pay the carrier boys
may mail their checks tho the office
and receive receipts for same.
1t may be stated here that the boys
carry accounts in arrears at their
own risk, as they must pay the
Times-Decorder promptly for the pa
pers charged out to them. The man
agement believes that the readers
of this paper will not permit the
carrier boys to suffer any embar-
rassmen on this account.
