Our always-strictly-adhered-to policy of “car
rying over as few goods as possible from one
season to the next,” makes it imperative for us
to hasten the departure of present stock before
the arrival of Spring goods.
“But it’s too late to buy Winter Clothing,” you
say. Not a bit of it—providing the inducements
are great enough. Winter is not ox er, by any
means. We can expect plenty of cold weather
—more than likely, the coldest of the year. Then,
too, the foresighted man will need no urging to
provide now for next Winter’s needs.

AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
FRUIT MEN HOPEFUL OF
BIG CROP OF PEACHES
Orchards Near Americus in
Good Shape.
The fruit growers of this section
of the State are beginning to get ac
tive. The season is at hand for them
to sit up take notice and begin
to nurse. President Harvey A. Mat
thews, of Fort Valley, has not yet
called the Fruit Growers’ Association
together, but the date will probably
be about the 30th of this month.
The critical time - with fruit is the
thirty days between loth of February
and 15th of March, and in that period
hopes rise and fall. For this rea
son, the growers wait to hold their
meeting until they can see how the
trees are looking, and some idea of
the prospect can be had.
Just now the large orchards about
Americus, and some of the largest
in Georgia are here, appear to be in
tin e condition.
But, as above stated, the critical
period is yet to be passed.
Mr. N. A. Ray, Mr. R. S. Broad
hurst, Mr. C, L. Ansley ,Capt. C. W.
Raymond and other large orchard
men here report their trees in excel
lent condition thus far, and with
enough cold weather now to keep back
the buds until spring, a good crop
is promised.
The growers generally are looking
forward to an unusually good crop
this year without knowing exactly
why. They sihiply know that such a
crop is badly needed.
MU COHEN NOW OCCUPIES
HIS STORE ON LAMAR
Mr. Aaron Cohen, who for a num
ber of years has had a branch store
on the Byne block, has removed the
entire stock of drygoods there to his
own store, 311 Lamar street, where
he has a handsome display. He will
continue, however, his other store on
Cotton avenue.
PRES. COLLUM WILL
ACCOMPANY TRAIN
While “School on Wheels”
is in This District.
During the few, days the Agricul
tural -Schdol train will be in the
Third District, Prof. J. M. Colhirn, of
the Third District Agricultural Col
lege, will be on e of the members of
the traveling party. The train reaches
Americus March G, but President Col
lum will join the train at the first
stop in this district. He will make
a short talk at each stop and will
incidentally mention the school at
Americus. His place at the college
will be provided for in his brief ab
sence.
Recently there has been favorable
mention of Pres. Collum for the posi
tion of State School Commissioner,
Which place is to be filled at the"com
ing election. The successful candi
date will be selected at the Democra
tic primary for state officers. The
present incumbent is Prof. Jerry
Pounds, of Milledgeville. The office
is an important one, its holder be
ing at the head of the state’s public
school system.
Pres. Collum is at present chair
man of the Teachers’ Committee of
the State Normal Board and has been
in school work all his life. He was
formerly a member of the state Demo
cratic Executive Committee, and also
chairman of the congressional district
committee. He is now chairman of
the Senatorial Committee. Another
name mentioned in connection with
the race for School Commissioner* is
that of Mr. E. T. Sneed, president pro
tem of the State Senate.
NUMBER OF PUPILS AT
SCHOOL IS GROWING
Already Past the Hundred
Mark.
The Americus school of the Third
Congressional district still leads all
others in the State in the number of
pupils enrolled, as well as in equip
ment and general completeness. In
fact, the extreme limit of attendance
has already been reached, there now
being 103 pupils, boys and' girls, at
the Americus school. Supt. Collum
and his excellent corps of teachers
are greatly elated at the splendid suc
cess attending the opening of this
school, and the further fact that it
stands at the head of all the eleven
agricultural schools in the state. Ev
ery one of the fifteen counties of the
Third district are well represented in
the attendanc of pupils ,a fact very
gratifying, evidencing as it does
the widespread popularity of this
excellent training school. The girls
dormitory must and will be built this
year, and this, when completed, will
permit of a greatly increased atten
dance. Attention is being given the
ornamentation of the college grounds,
’ong with the improvement of the
rm, and the general appearance
.are will soon be most inviting.

Mr. James R. Williams a
Candidate.
In announcing this morning his
candidacy for the office of solicitor
general of the Southwestern judicial
circuit Col. James R. Williams fires
the first gun of the political’ cam
paign in Sumter. For some time it
has been known among the friends of
this genial gentleman that he would
be in the race for this important of
fice, and his formal announcement
will now permit his friends to go ac
tively to work in his behalf. Mr. Wil
liams is a prominent member of the
Americus bar and would well adorn
any position to which he might as
pire.

THAW GETS VERDICT
OF “NOT GUILTY”
Plea of Insanity Lands Him
in Asylum.
NEW YORK, Feb. I. (Special)
The jury in the Harry K. Thaw case
brought iu a verdict shortly before
noon today of not guilty. The find
ing was reached on the theory that
Thaw was mentally irresponsible at
(he time he killed Stanford White in
the Madison Square roof garden. “On
the ground of the defendant’ s in
sanity at the time of the commission
of the acts in the indictment,” was
the way the jury framed it up. '
The verdict does not release Thaw,
who will be committed to the Matte
wan asylum for the criminally in
sane. The legal theory is that he is
still insane, and until a commission
declares that he is sane, he will be
kept at the asylum. It is not likely
that his confinement there will be of
extended duration.
The verdict was received with de
monstrations of approval by the
crowds in and around the court
house.
TRAIN Os COTTON DID
NOT COME TO CITY
Bridge Over Creek Washed
Away.
Americus warehouse receipts were
cut temporarily, thirty bales cotton
yesterday as the result of the tor
rential rain the night before, which
washed the road and took away a
portion of at least one country bridge,
that over Muckalee creek six miles
below the city. Mr. W. E. Mitchell
started to town with a wagon train,
bringing thirty bales cotton, but was
forced to turn back and abandon the
trip or else make a wide detour via
Plains, where the roads are always
excellent. The rain was the most
severe that has fallen here within a
year, doing considerable damage not
only to roads and bridges but to
ploughed fields as well.

AMERICUS IS AFTER A
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Movement is Started to
That End.
Americus wants a Carnegie Library
in fact, has wanted one for some
time, and the supreme effort to that
end will doubtless be made shortly.
Quite recently several prominent cit
izens of Americus have undertaken
the task of securing a Carnegie Li
brary, and the movement meets with
popular favor. It is proposed to se
cure a building costing $20,000, and
an effort is being made to interest the
City Council to the end of securing
the required municipal support. The
Public Library here owns already val
uable building lot in the business dis
trict, and in the event a Carnegie Li
brary is secured this property might
be utilized as the site therefor. Citi
zens are confident of ultimate suc
cess.
MISS SPEER IS CHOSEN
AS NEW LIBRARIAN
To Succeed Miss West
brook. Resigned.
Miss Bicey Westbrook, who far a
year or two past has discharged most
satisfactorily the duties of librarian
at the Americus Library, has resign
ed that position, and yesterday left
for Macon, where she will enter the
city hospital to study as trained nurse.
The board of directors of the Library
Association yesterday elected Miss
Carrie Speer to the vacancy, as she
is already quite familiar with the res
ponsible duties of the position, and
most efficient withal.
AUTOS ARE BOUGHT BY
TWO CITIZENS HERE
Two handsome electric automobiles
are soon t<s be added to th e number
that now course through Americus’
streets. Mr. F. P. Harrold has
purchased for Mrs. Harrold a hand
some" Columbia machine, while Mr.
J. H. Hagerty, general manager for
the Americus Railway & Light Co.,
has bought an electric National. The
automobiles are covered vehicles and
the best of their kind. They are ex
pected to arrive here some time next
week.
SOLDIER BOYS GOING IN
CAMP IN EULL[EORCE
Light Infantry of Americus
Going.
Americus Light Infantrymen are
greatly interested just now in the
early assignment of State troops to
various places of encampment, and
are eager to learn whether Company
L, Fourth Georgia, will go to Chick
amauga or again to Fort Screven.
The Americus command went to
the coast last summer, and would
doubtless prefer Chickamauga Park
as a change this year.
Two battalions —one of the Third
regiment and one of the Fourth—
will go Into camps at Savannah In
May with the coast artillery, W’hile
the First regiment will go to Chicka
mauga on the pay of the government.
The other troops, consisting of the
2nd regiment and sth calvary, will
go into camps at Chickamauga, ex
penses to be paid by the State.
The encampment of the State troops
referred to is not yet definitely set
tled, hut it is the opinion of military
men just now.
The cavalry troops throughout the
gulf States will also participate in
maneuvers at Chickamauga, probab
ly about August Ist.
The encampment at Chickamauga
will be larger this year than ever
before in the history of the post.
It is reported that in addition to
the Department of the Gulf, embrac
ing all he territory south of North
Carolina and east of the Mississippi,
the Department of the East", reach
ing as far as New York, will he in
cluded in the camp there.
There are eight of these army posts
where encampments will be held
during the year. If the Department
of th Gulf and of the East come to
gether at Chickamauga several thou
sand soldiers will be sheltered at
this historic park.
An assignment to Chickamauga will
suit the Americus soldier boys, who
hope to again go there.
