AMERICUS TIMES-RECORt )ER
BIG GAME IS PROMISED
TODAY ON DIAMOND
I
When Bankers and Lawyers
Meet
CONTEST WILL BE FIERCEST EVER
Dime Counters Confident of Their
Ability to Beat the Courthouse
Spielers Who Laugh Them
to Scorn.
While Americus understands base
ball from the toss-up to the flight of
the umpire in the last inning, her
rooters wil be treated today to the
most marvelous rendition of the game
ever witnessed, and fairly bristling
with new and startling stunts.
This is the game in which the bank
ers and lawyers will tangle, and a
case wherein Greek meets Greek in
a finish scropfest.
It will have no parallel in the his
tory of the national game.
The lineup of the opposing sides,
as published on Sunday, assured this
fact, and already the ardent suppor
ters of each team are backing them
with utmost enthusiasm. Watermel
ons, cigars, hats and other produce
are being bet with utmost abandon.
And as the proceeds of the gamo
go to the library and the hospital
equally, a mighty host will go out
to see the game and cheer the play
ers.
The courthouse contingent are
banking heavily upon the knocking
abilities of Col. Blalock and Col.
Sheppard, and the odds are four to
one on Col. G. Cleve Webb’s sprint
ing qualities, unless the girls in the
grand stand rattle him with their
smiles.
The bankers lay their money on
Emmett McNulty who, while not a
‘‘knocker’’ is fleet of foot and would |
not dare look at the girls. Nothing
deters him from the line of busi
ness.
I,ee Hansford will put on his ac
customed automobile speed ,and for
once much is expected of him.
The opposing teams will be jaunti
ly costumed—those of the bankers
being spangled with ssss as a dis
tinguishing feature, while the law
yers will wear a coat of appeals and 1
breeches of trust, cut by the rule <
nisi. ]
The following rules have been (
signed by the respective managers:
Rule 1. The lawyers will be stop- f
ped from using technicalities in the
game. —a
Rule 2. The lawyers will he en- I
joined from “making a run” on the I
bankers.
Rule 3. The lawyers will be al
lowed the concluding argument after ■
each decision of the umpire. I
Rule 4. The bankers will be
promptly prosecuted for any attempt
to steal a base.
Rule 5. The hankers will be put
out of the game for giving ’’foul tips” 8
to outsiders. *
Rule 6. The bankers will be re- I
quired to extend the usual “three days 1
of grace” to the lawyers, should they 1
fail to score during the nine innings. *
Rule 7. Tny player knocking a fly *
beyond the pitchers’ stand, will go <
out on a “writ of error.” 1
Rule 8. Any banker attempting to >
make a loan on the diamond, must 1
first exhibit a pawnbrokers license, in 1
addition to knocking three halls. ,
The game will be called at 4
o’clock, and the gate ticket admits to i
the grandstand as well. Fouls, in- |
eluding bats, will he allowed upon the
grounds, to say nothing of other high
flyers. Handling lemons to the play- .
ers will be positively forbidden. j
Everybody should see this game of
that season and accumulate a laugh
that will rattle one’s slats for a
whole week.

The Knock-out Blow.
The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old lighters that tho
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he’d have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing

COCA COIA GETS A BLOW!
Bill Introduced in Senate to Prohibit Sale in the
State
Prohis Confident of Victory Today—Few New Bills Introduced in the
House Monday.
ATLANTA, July 29. —Having effec
tually knocked out old booze in the
State, the Legislature will now turn
to coca cola and other drinks with
the view of putting them upon the
prohibitive list and making the tour
of the water wagon complete.
Coca cola is the first to he attacked
thus by the solons.
Today Senator Brock introduced a
bill in the upper house to prohibit the
sale of coca cola in the state. There
is little doubt but that the measure
will be strongly supported.
Booze Bill a Certainty.
All interest now is centered upon
the fate of the liquor hill in the House
tomorrow. Leading prohibitionists
are jubilant tonight and insist the
House will pass the measure, and
without any amendment.
The only possible changes, the pro
his say, might he in t>e sale of al
cohol by druggists, though they do
not seriously consider this proposi
tion. If the antis have any cards up
their sleeves to play later the fact
is not apparent.
It looks tonight like total prohibi
tion for Georgia.

r
The exercises of laying corner
stone of the handsome Y. M. C. A.
building in Americus upon which work
is rapidly progressing, will be of
more than usual interest. The com
mittee in charge reported yesterday
through Secretary Lemley that Aug

of the cornerstone laying, the exer

OFFICES NOW IN AMERICUS j
Division Headquarters of the Seaboard Aqain Estab- <
lished Here.
Promptly at 12 o’clock, noon, yes
terday the wires governing the move
ment of trains on the Fifth division
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway
were Cut in here, and Americus, after
a lapse of ten years, again becomes
the headquarters for the Fifth,
seen, therefore, that quite an addi
-511 the departmental heads and em
ployes, are in the city.
These came yesterday morning,
numbering sixteen men, a half dozen
of whom have families. It will be
seen, therefore, that quite an addi
tion to the city's population is thus
effected.
Prior to the removal of the offices
here, spacious quarters had been fit
ted up in one of the large brick build
ings owned by the company at the
shops. One entire floor will thus
be occupied and the officials and em
ployes will be made comfortable
there.
Several carloads of office furniture,
fixtures, records, etc, have arrived
from Savannah, from whence the
headquarters were removed, and dur
ing yesterday this was put in place,
and the men are already “at home”
and prepared for business.
BULLETINS ON PROHIBITION BILL

Balloting. (
As such great interest is manifested
here, as elsewhere, upon the passage
of the State prohibition bill by the
House today, the Times-Recordev will
l>oßt bulletins as the voting progress
es. The bill will lie debated during
the morning and early afternoon, and
a vote thereupon will not be reached
until 4 o'clock; or perhaps much la
ter. Come to the Tlmes-Recorder j
office and get the news as it happens.

prohibitionists of Atlanta have arrang
ed to signalize their victory by a
general clanging of church bells, au
gmenting the noise with street par
ades.
»w Bills In House.
The House today passed unanimous
ly hill providing for hank exam
iners of state hanks, which was fully
expected. Two new bills were intro
duced an<f five minor hills, aside from
the bank examiner’s bill, were pass
ed by the House.
The Senate declined to reconsider
the Candler-Overstreet railroad com
mission bill today.
Tom Eason a Quitter.
It is announced- here today by
friends of Tom Eason, of the State I
Prison Commission, that he will not
be a candidate for re-election at the
expiration of his term of office. He |
has been upon the commission many
years, and his retirement will cause
surprise.

The Senate will take up the admin

Tuesday and will probably pass it
with a few minor amendments.

liantly illuminated by myriads of el- 1

the outlines of the building at that, e

hundred voices is being arranged and t
the musical program, as well as the j
addresses, will he a fine feature of |
the occasion. The date arranged is
little more than two weeks in the i
future, and the occasion will be (
made a memorable one inAmericus.
i
The removal of the offices here is
a valuable acquisition to Americus
and duly appreciated in commercial
circles generally.
The presence of Supt. Grimshaw
here is especially advantageous, and
his many friends will extend a wel
come after a long absence. He has
been with the company many years .
and is fully identified with its inter
ests, as with that of the public.
Americus, as the geographical cen
tre of the Fifth division, is logically
the place for the headquarters, a fact
fully recognized by the officials re
cently in having the offices removed
here.
Despite the fact that the removal
has actually been accomplished, the
trades bodies of Savannah will meet
President Garrett in that city tomor
row in a final effort to have the head
quarters carried back. This, how
ever, will accomplish nothing.
The offices are now In Americus,
and will remain here.
The Fifth division, with headquar
ters here, comprises the line from
Montgomery to Savannah 340 miles;
Columbus to Albany, about 100 miles,
together with tile Fitzgerald branch.

the ladies of the church have already

Monster Tent Will Be Stretched on j
Government Reservation and j
Meeting Started.
The Business Men’s Gospel League
of Americus will begin next Sunday
a series of union meetings, which
will be continue on for considerable

ably 1.000 to 1,500 people, will be 1

postoffice building, near the Hotel
Windsor, where a daily schedule of (
meetings will he held. Dr. J. P.

REAGIN LOR THE HIGHER COURT
Will Suceed Justice Cobb on Su- *
preme Bench.
ATLANTA, July 29. —It seems un
derstood here that Congressman C.
L. Bartlett, to whom Gov. Smith has
tendered the place on the supreme -
bench made vacant by the resigna
tion of Jusitce Cobh, will not ac- »
cept.
Following his refusal it is reported
that the place will be tendered to
Judge A. L. Miller of Macon, who, it
Is stated .will also decline. J
Then, it is stated, the place will -
he tendered to Judge E. J. Reagin of
the Flint circuit, who will accept. |
Going further, the report has it I
that Solicitor General Bloodworth of j:
the Flint circuit will be named judge
to succeed Judge Reagin and T. E. “
Patterson, of Griffin appointed solici
tor of the circuit.
Solicitor General Blodworth it has
been reported, has been thinking pret- S
ty strongly about making the race for
Congress in the Sixth.
WATERMELONS PROFITABLE CROP
Handsome Sum of SSOO Netted on
Small Patch. J
The finest results from a water- <
melon patch this season is reported
from the farm of Mr. Paul Easterlin, |
one of Sumter’s progressive young
planters. Upon a field of four and A
a half acres of ordinary land Mr.
Easterlin has sold SSOO worth of mel
ons, shipping the fruit to distant mar- *
kets. His success has been rather
phenomenal, and shows what Sum
ter county 15 nd will do under proper J
cultivation. The land can now be
sown in peas, turnips or any one of ’
a dozen other crops, and will thus ,
produce a fine “second crop” as
well.
ANNIVERSARY OF ANOTHER BLOWUP ,
Prohibition and Gunpowder Came on
Same Date.
If the prohibition hill passes to
day, as the bellringers anticipate, It
will be peculiarly fitting inasmuch as
this date is the anniversary of the
explosion of the Crater at Petersburg
1 during the Civil War. Forty-three
years ago today—July 30, 1864, the
Yankees at Petersburg touched off
their mines with disastrous result, as
many old Confederate veterans in
Americus will distinctly remember,
and today the serried ranks of the
Prohis will set off another explosion
which, while not disastrous like the
other will he heard throughout the
United States, as Georgia gets in the
dry columh.
