j
Good Talkers Expected on
Monday Night
TO TELL OL THE ORDER S WORK
Enjoying o Substantial Development
in Americus and it is Hoped to Give
it a Further Stimulus By the
Leaders of the Order.
Washington Camp, No. 24, Patriotic
Order Sons of America, is looking for
ward to an exceedingly i nteresting
social session that has been planned
for next Monday night at' its head
quarters in the Odd Fellows Hall.
This order is making excellent pro
gress in Amreicus, and now has over
fifty members, it is purely patriotic,
as well as beneficial in its character,
and seeks the inculcation of strong
American sentiments in its members
and the community at large. In the
North it has a large membership and
it is enjoying a substantial growth
over the entire South.
At the meeting on Monday night
State President B. F. Brimberry will
be aguest of the lodge. He will deli
ver an address on the principles and
work of tlie order that will undoubt
edly be of interest not only to the
members of the order hut to the
friends who will be present as their
guests.
It is also hoped to have Mr. F. W.
Alexander ,of Oak Grove, Va., pres
ent. Mr. Alexander is special deputy
from the National Camp, si said to
be an eloquent talker, and especially
so on the order. It will probably be
ascertained today whether he can get
to Americus for the meeting.
Afte rthe talks there will be re
freshments and a general social ses
sion. A number of Americus men
will be invited to attend the meeting.
3.500 WISHED KISSES.
Babies Too Numerous for Gen. Booth
and He Waved His Hands Instead
LONDON, July 23.—-How to kiss a
mile of babies was the problem facing
Gen Booth, head of the Salvation Army
on arriving at Rusliden, in the course
of an automobile tour of England. He
had, a few days previously, done a
lot of baby kissing at the Crystal
Palace, and mothers with their babies
from a large area around Rushden
flocked thither to intercept him.
It is estimated that 3,500 lined up.
Gen. Booth, however, balked, and
dreading the result of invidious dis
tinction, kissed none, saying smilingly
that he would wave hands at them
instead. The disappointed mothers
took their unkissed progeny home, un
comforted by Gen. Booth's cherry con
gratulation that there was no race
suicide in Northhamptonshire.
HEALTH STATE LINE.
Not a Case Typhoid Lever in Ameri
cus at this lime.
There is not a single case of typhoid
fever in Americus today.
Nor is there much sickness of any 1
kind.
Inquiry among the doctors show
that health conditions have material
ly improved in the last fortnight. What
little sickness there is now is of a 1
minor nature, incident to the warm
weather and the disorders that ac
company it as a result, generally, of
improper eating and drinking.

AMERICUS GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1907.
SIX DAYS TO REGISTER IN.
Every Citizen Should Qualify Himself to Vote on the
Bond Issues.
TAKES 1,000 FAVORABLE VOTES TO CARRY ELECTION
Two Great Public Measures Will Hang in the Balances on August 15th—
All Eavoring Agricultural College and Line System of Well Graded
County Roads Should be Prepared to Vote in
Favor of Them.
Counting today you have but six
days in w'hich to register and qualify
to vote at the election on August 15,
when the question of issuing bonds to
the extent of SIOO,OOO will be passed
upon by the voters of Sumter coun
ty.
Tax Receiver I. B. Small stated
yesterday that there are but few new
names being added to the list. There
are doubtless a number of men in
Americus who can qualify to vote
at the approaching election if they
will only do so. A few' minutes time
is nil that is required. There is no
loss of time at the court house. The
actual registration can be done inside
of a minute at any time of the day.
As is generally known, there are
two proposed bond issues, each for
$50,000. One is to pay for the Dis
trict Agricultural College. The hon
or and the interests of Sumter are
indissolubly interwined with this
bond issue and it is difficult to be
lieve that any one will vote against
it.
The other issue is $50,000 for road
improvements. It is prosposed to
bring all of the roads of the county
to a proper level, grade them in good
shape, and have them so constructed
that hereafter the chain gang, with
the ordinary expenditures for the pur
pose can keep all of the roads of Sum
ter in good shape.
GREAT FIGHT IS EXPECTED
» ___________________
Antis Hold Secret Meeting to Plan For
Filibuster.
PROHIS WILL SIT ALL NIGHT TO WIN.
Determine to Get Bill Passed Without an Adjournment—felder Anti-Pass
Bill Passes the Senate—Federal Administration to Back Up Judge
Pritchard Against State of North Carolina.
ATLANTA, GA., July 23. — (Special.)
—A great attempt at filibustering is
expected by all tomorrow when the
prohibition bill comes up on its third
reading and passage in the House.
The rules of the House favor at
tempts of this character to delay and
prevent legislation and considerable
time is expected to be exhausted by
those opposed to the proposed legisla
tion in efforts to secure amendments
in favor of the physicians and drug
gists, the only lines on which there
is* any reasonable hope of final suc
cess. It is regarded as not impro
bable that there may be a number of
those in favor of State prohibition who
will give support to some ameliora
tion of the present measure in favor
of the medical fraternity, The oppo
sition to the bill is holding a secret
session, at which its plans of action
will probably be outlined. It is the
current impression that the House will
be in session at least until midnight.
Wednesday, and there are more ar
dent prohis who talk of an all night
•session rather than adjournment be
fore their bill is finally passed. Some
animated debates are expected and a
great crowd of spectators is expected
throughout the session no matter how
prolonged it may be. But the final
result can hardly be otherwise than
an absolutely dry State so far as a
bill of this character can make It.
The prohis, as a rule, are getting
stiffer hacked with each day’s pro
gress.
Anti-Pass Bill Goes Through.
In the Senate today Felder’s ‘anti
pass bill was passed. This now goes
to the House where, the main fight
will come on between the forces
of Joe Hill Hall and those who favor
more drastic legislation than that
veteran of the legislature believes nec
essary. It is regarded as a foregone
conclusion that Hall, despite the bat
tle royal he may put up, will he de
feated and that Gov. Smith's views
will prevail and passes of every sort
and to every kind of citizens become
a thing of the past forever.
Legislators Last Barbecue.
This afternoon the legislature at

barbecue under conditions of wet

This naturally commends itself to
every farmer in the county. A com
plete system of well graded roads, kept
up in good condition, means more to
the farmers than to any other class
of citizens. At the same time every
man in Sumter will be benefitted as
the welfare of the towns is necessarily
bound up with that of the farmers. It
is not believed that any opposition
to speak of Will be shown to this road
improvement bond issue.
It takes a two-third favorable vote
of all registered voters to carry the
bond issue. Each issue wifi be voted
on separately. A thousand votes will
probably be sufficient to carry either
or both of the bond issues. There are
now about 1,200 whites and 400 ne
groes qualified to vote on this ques
tion. Probably a hundred may be dis
qualified when the list is purged. This
would leave 1,500 qualified voters. If
1,000 turn out and vote favorably on
August 15 the bond issues will be le
gal.
Americus has about 800 voters, it
is understood, but there are always
many voters out of town in August.
Americus should contribute at least
500 votes toward the carrying of the
election. This would leave but 500
for thfi remainder of the county.
It xviil take work to get the .vote
out. Every voter should do his duty
and go to the polls.

To Fix Price of Cotton.
The convention of the Farmers Un
ion was largely attended and of a
most enthusiastic nature. Every por
tion of the State was represented and
great interest manifested in the re
ports. The Union, it was shown, is
growing rapidly and is in position to
accomplish considerable good if the
members stick. It was decided that
it was within the province, and part
of the function, of the Union to fix'
the price of cotton and of cotton
seed. Members generally expressed
the belief that prices would be favor
able to producers this fall and win
ter and that Georgia farmers have a
properous season ahead of them.
To Found New Town.
It is reported that a large district
near Atlanta is to be laid out espec
ially for manufacturing purposes and
that a city on an industrial foundation
will be the result within a few years.
To Back Up Pritchard.
Great interest is maniftested nl poli
tical circles here in the existing diffi
culties in North Carolina between the
State and Federal courts. Advices re
ceived here this afternoon from relia
ble Washington sources are to the ef
fect that the administration at Wash
ington will sustain Judge Pritchard,
of the Federal court, in his stand
and that it is the impression at Wash
ington that the State authorities will
be compelled to recede from their
present position and acknowledge the
right of the Federal courts to inter
vene in such cases. The national ad
ministration is understood to have
gone carefully over the situation and
to have reached the conclusion that
the dignity of the Federal authority
must be sustained and the orders of
the Federal courts be backed up by
the full power of the administration if
| necessary. .

THEY FEAR TO
RILE THE STATE
Administration is Worried
Over the Rate War
ON IN THE OLD NORTH STATE
Anxious to Avoid Bringing on an Is
sue as to State Right to Regulate
Railroads and Powers of Feder
al Courts to Interfere in
State Regulation.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23.—The
anxiety of the Department of Justice
is so great over the conflict between
the Federal and State Courts in North
Carolina regarding enforcement of
the State Railroad Rate law that it is
said a confidential agent of the De
partment has been sent to that State
to watch developments. There are in
timations that this agent is charged
with a message to Federal Judge Prit
chard, pointing out to him the need
of the greatest circumspection ~lu
dealing with the situation that has
arisen in order to avoid precipitating
a dangerous crisis in the relations of
the State and Federal authorities.
Department of Justice officials real
ize that if care is not exercised com
plications of the most embarrassing
nature to the Federal authorities
might easily be brought about as* a
result of the conflict between the
State anff Federal jurisdiction and
although they are desirious to
see that the railroads are given a
square deal. But in doing this they
are anxious that every precaution be
taken to avoid arousing local feeling
and bringing on a sharp issue on the
State's rights question.
It is believed here that some at least
of the State officials would like to pre
cipitate just such an issue for politi
cal purposes. This makes the Feder
al officials all the more anxious that
nothing shall be done by the Federal
Courts to arouse unnecessary feel
ing.
Fear Effects on Political Situation.
Judge Pritchard is himself a good
deal of a fighter. He comes from the
mountain district of Western North
Carolina, and had a rather rough
and-tumble career in politics before
he went on the bench. If he got his '
fighting blood up he would not hesi
tate to resort to drastic measures to
vindicate the authority of his Court
as against the State Courts. But it.
is hoped here he will realize the nec
essity of handling the situation with ’
diplomatic tact so as to avoid the
necessity of direct interference from '
Washington.
If a situation should arise requiring
the use of Federal marshals to en- |
force the orders of the Federal Court*
the results might be embarrassing in
the highest degree to the Administr
ation. The affair would at once take
on a political aspect and the ques
tion of State’s rights would at once
become a burning one; not only in
North Carolina, but throughout the 1
South and even in other sections of
the country.
SCHOOL TRUSTEES :
TO BE CHOSEN.
Election in Sumter Next ■
Month.
EACH DISTRICT CHOOSES THREE
Owing to the Financial Conditions it
Will be Found Necessary to Cut
Down the School Term of the
County Schools a Month-Col- I
ored Summer Schools Close (
in Time for Cotton
Picking.
An election for school trustees is
to be held on Wednesday August 21, ,
under the order adopted by the Board
of Education of Sumter county, legal '
notice of the election being given in (
this week's Times-Recorder. I
Tijere are three trustees to be elec- ;
ted for each school district. The elec
tions are to be held at the school 1
houses of the various districts ot the
county except'in districts of the coun
ty having regular voting precincts.
The election will he held under the j
rules governing the election of mem
bers of the General Assembly.
All of the negro schools of the coun
ty are now in operation. Commis
sioner Moore, who was in the city
yesterday, stated that they would close
about September 1, after two months I
tuition of the children. The colored
schools are being largely attended this
summer. They shut down in ample
time for the children to help on the
work of cotton picking.
Owing to finances it has been found
necessary to reduce the school term
for both whites and blacks one month
this year. This is greatly to be re
gretted, but the school term has had
to be arranged to suit the finances at
the disposal of the Board.
Two white schools have been open
ed this summer, one at Pleasant
Grove, the other at Pennington. The
people of these districts wanted sum
mer schools and the Board gave them
to them. It is probably from remarks
that have been made, though, that
there will not be the same desire for
these white summer schools another |
year. »
