AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
VETS OF ALBANY WANT
SHAFT IN AMERICUS
Think This City Proper
Place Therefor.
ALBANY, GA„ Feb. 7.—(Special)
At a special meeting of Camp William
M. Slaughter, United Confederate Vet
erans, yesterday, resolutions wefe
adopted endorsing in strong terms the
movement of Georgia Daughters of
the Confederacy for the erection of a
monument to Major Wirz.
The resolutions contained an ex
pression of conviction on the part of
the members of Cam]) Slaughter that
the memorial should be erected at
Americus rather than at Anderson
ville and that every camp of veterans
in the state should be represented at
the unveiling.
The hope is also expressed that the
inscriptions on the monument shall
be written in the interest of the
truth and justice rather than for the
purpose of avoiding possible offense
to other sections of the country.
A PETITION IN BANK
RUPTCY IS FILED
Store of H. J. Bagley is
Closed.
A petition in voluntary bankruptcy
has been filed in the case of Henry J.
Bagley of Americus in the United
States court at Macon, and he has
been duly adjudicated bankrupt by
Referee Alexander Proudfit. The first
meeting of creditors will be held on
February 17th. The schedule of as
sets and liabilities published show an
excess of assets over the scheduled
debts. Mr. Bagley has long been
engaged in the carriage and harness
business in Americus, and his many
friends here trust that he may soon
adjust his present financial difficul
ties.
DR. CROCKETT IS HERE
TO MAKE HIS HOME
To Locate in Americus Per
manently.
Dr. E. K. Crockett has come from
Virginia to reside permanently in
Americus, and will be a valued addi
tion to the corps of practicing physi
cians here. Dr. Crockett is the son
of Dr. H. S. Crockett, already a resi
dent and prominent physician here,
and the two will have offices together
over the Dodson Pharmacy. Dr.
Crockett is a graduate of the Hospital
College of Louisville, Ky., and of a
Chicago college as well, and already
occupies an enviable position in his
profession.
RUSH FOR SEATS 10
“THE MAYOR 0ETOKIO”
Standing Room Will likely
be at Premium.
The sale of seats for “The Mayor
of Tokio’’ started with a rush yes
terday, a good block of the first floor
seats being disposed of. Those who
come first get best seats then 'unsold,
it is expected that today the house
will be practically sold out. Those
who come this morning will be able
to secure some good seats, but for
those who delay until Monday the
chances are not very flattering.
In its criticism of “The Mayor of
Tokio," which apeared in Atlanta on
Wednesday night, the Constitution
says: “The Mayor of Tokio,” was at
the Grand last night with John L.
Kearney taking the part of Marcus
Orlando Kidder, the one created by
the popular comedian. Mr. Kearney
has ability and was appreciated by
his audience, especially in his songs
“Foolishness" and “I Like You," and
their attendant features, which were
decidedly clever. His work at all
times was well above the average.
The familiar tuneful members of the
musical comedy were rendered with
good voices.”
The Atlanta Georgian said: “Not
many of the topmost lights of comedy
shine more brilliantly than John L.
Kearney, who appeared at the
Wednesday night in “The Mayor of
Tokio.”
"Seats are certainly going like hot
cakes,” said Manager Lucas yester
day. “The advance sale this morn
ing was most gratifying and bears out
my belief that every seat in the house
will be sold and standing room be
at a premium when the curtain rises.
Its a great show, with a chorus of
fifty girls and will be by far the
best of its kind here this season.* It
usually plays only in the large cities.
Its a great opportunity for Americus
people to see a metropolitan produc
tion at home. We are assured of an
attendance from outside towns, some
over fifty miles away. It will surely
be an event.”

HOME OF MRS. KLECKLY
BURNS ON BARLOW
Firemen Had a Eight With
flames.
A fire which entailed a loss of
probably $1,200 or $1,500 started at
10:40 yesterday morning in the two
story dwelling on Barlow street, own
ed by Mrs. Bessie Kleckley and occu
pied by Mrs. C. M. Clark. The house
was more-than half destroyed.
The flames started in a chimney
flue and spread rapidly.
When the alarm was received at
the fire department, the flames cov
ered the roof and even then seemed
beyond control. Other dwellings in
the vicinity were in danger.
Although hampered by a lack of
men, the department did good ser
vice in extinguishing the Clark resi
dence, which was little more than
hal consumed. A house near by and
belonging to Mr. H. L. Mize caught
fire, but was extinguished.
A considerable portion of the fur
niture and effects belonging to Mrs.
Clark were saved from the flames in
more or less damaged condition. Mrs.
Kleckley had some insurance upon
her property, probably in sufficient
amount to cover the damage.
The fire burned rapidly upon get
ting a start as a stiff breeze was
blowing at the time.
THE SKAEE IS PROVING
QUITE A PROBLEM
Daughters Did Not Reach
Decision.
Mrs. J. E. Mathis and Mrs. James
Taylor, who attended, the meeting in
Atlanta of the committee having in
charge the inscriptions to be placed
upon the Wirz monument, will re
turn to Americus this morning. Af
ter being in session practically all
day Thursday the members of the
Executive Committee of the~ Georgia
Division of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy and the committee of
ladies on the Wirz monument, to de
cide on the inscription to be placed
the monument, refused to make any
statement as to what had been ac
complished. It is believed that the
Daughters found the inscription a
knottier” problem than at first expect
ed, and have not decided what to do.
Another meeting was held yesterday,
at which some conclusion may have
been reached.

PRICES cur ON LIGHTS,
BUT THIS IN MACON
Rate Lessened by Company
There.
At the annual meeting of the board
of directors and stockholders of the
Macon Railway and Light Company,
the rate on lights was cut from 15
cents to 12 per killowatt hour. This
reduction was made voluntarily by
the company. The usual rate of dis
count will still be allowed. The're
duction in prices was made to begin
on February Ist, instead of waiting
until next month. When Americus
gets her new electric plant, and when
the electric cars flit merrily about
town—when these things are all ac
complished our present two dollar
per 1000 gas rate will be reduced
some, and the killowating of the kil
lowat meter slackened in proportion.

TEMPLE 15 INVITED TO
COME TO AMERICUS
Shriners to Make Pilgrim
age Here.
Americus Shriners, members of
Alee Temple, Nobles of the Mystic
Shrine, haVe extended an invitation
to Alee Temple 1o make a pilgrimage
here in March and hold a ceremonial
that unregenerate sons of the desert
be permitted to ride the camels.
The Shrine will hold a ceremonial
some time in March, and as the Shrin
er spirit is very largely manifest in
Americus the invitation to come here
is extended.
Americus would extend a royal wel
come to the Nobles.
One of the requirements of the
Shrine is that twenty applicants, at
least, present themseives for member
ship, and local Shriners are now
scouring the Americus Sahara in an
effort to round up such a bunch of
unregenerates. And they will get the
game.
It has been several years since the
Shrine held a ceremonial here, but the
occasion is still remembered with in
terest. and pleasure.
Both Masons and Knights Templar
here will join in the invitation ex
tended to Alee Temple.
Wells Chapter will have a meeting
on Monday night next, w r hile De
Molay Commandery will assemble on
Wednesday night. At each meeting
there will be important W'ork, and
members of both orders will be re
quested to attend promptly.
Some time in the next month Alee
and Yaarab Temples will hold a joint
powwow at Macon, the occasion par
taking of the nature of a Shrine Cir
cus, and Americus nobles are pre
paring for the show and will take
along all of their new recruits.
If the shriners come to Americus
in March, as expected, a gala occa
sion is safely counted upon.
PRIMARY WILL BE
HELD ON JUNE 4
State Committee Decides
to Have Only One.
Mr. R. L. Maynard, who represent
ed the Third district at the meeting
of the State Democratic Executive
committee in Atlanta on Thursday,
returned yesterday. The action of
the committee had his full endorse
ment, his vote being cast with the ma
jority on the question of holding the
primary on June 4.
It was de’cided to hold the primary
to nominate candidates for United
States Senator and for state offices
on June 4. For the state convention
June 23 was the date fixed, at which
time delegates to the Denver nation
al convention which meets in July,
will be chosen. It was also provided
that a majority vote—instead of a
plurality as heretofore —would be re
quired for a nomination. In case the
highest vote in any contest is less
than a majority of the votes for all
candidates, the two candidates with
the two highest votes must make the
race again. If a second primary is
needed it will be held June 17. -
On the question of an early primary
there was some difference of opinion.
R. L. Berner and J. A. Bagwell spoke
against an early primary, but when
the vote came could only muster 7
votes out of 39.
Although barber pgjes have been
banished from Atlantic City, there
is no law against the employment of
Polish barbers.
COMMITTEE TO MEET IN
THE TEMPLE AT TEN
Primary in Sumter Ordered
Today.
At 10 o’clock this morning Chair
man J. E. Sheppard of the democratic
executive' committe of Sumter county
will call that body together in meet
ing at the courthouse, and doubtless
all of the nine districts of the coun
ty will be represented by committee
men.
The session is an important one,
and much interest in the result is
manifested over the county.
The committee this morning will
fix the date of the primary election in
Sumter and prescribe the rules under
which county officials and other office
holders shall be nominated.
The district committeemen, by dis
tricts, are as follows: *
Twenty-seventh district; Messrs. J.
E. Sheppard, N. A, Ray, W. B. Heys
and John T. Howell.
Fifteenth district: A. M. Bolton.
Old Sixteeth district Jarrett J.
Wilson.
New Sixteenth district W. A. Webb.
Seventeenth district C. D. Brinkley.
New Twenty-sixth district A. W.
Buchanan,
Old Twenty-sixth district J. I. Hill
er.
Twenty-eight district George P.
Suber.
Twenty-ninth district T. J. Harden.
While the action of the committee
cannot be forecasted, it is very prob
able that an early spring date will be
named for the county primary. The
state primary is to be held June 4th,
and the county primary, as is always
customary, will precede it.
In such event some date in March
or April is probable.
And with the announcement of the
date at the hands of the committee
today, the candidatal host in Sumter
will proceed to get busy.
AM county officials are elected this
year from sheriff to coroner, while
in addition the entire hoard of five
county commissioners will be elected
for the full term of four years. Judge
of the city court and the solicitor of
that tribunal are also elected.
Members of the legislature, Sum
ter's two able, are likewise chosen at
the regular county primary.
Judge of the superior court and
solicitor-general are chosen at the
State primary on June 4th. But
the host above mentioned is a for
midable one, and with the numerous
candidates in the field the able voter
will be a busy man during several
weeks.
With the date of primary fixed, the
candidates , many of them, * will
make their announcements at once.

eleven years, during which time he

times acted as Solicitor general from
time to time and has in every in
stance represented the State with
signal ability. He is a member of
the well known law firm of Dykes &
Nisbet and in the event of his election
would wear well and worthily the

With the retirement from the Al
bany postoffice yesterday of S. M.
Brooks, who has been a city carrier
since the free delivery system was iin
augurated, the last white carrier on

as they resigned colored substitutes
succeeded them,* until- now the latter
constitute the entire force. There
are but two white carriers on the
