AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
BOARD Os TRADE HAS
NAMED NEW OFFICERS
Lee Allen and Thos. Har
rold at head.
The Directors of the Americus Board
of Trade have elected the following
officers for the ensuing year, pursuing
the policy now generally adopted by
trade organizations throughout the
country of placing new men at the
head with each year:
President, DEE ADDEN.
Vice-President, THOMAS IIAR
ROLjD.
The new officers have taken hold at
once and plans are now under way
for the work of the organization for
the ensuing year, work that, it is be
lieved, will tell greatly for the good
of Americus.
Mr. Dee Allen, the new president of
the Board, is one of Americus most
enterprising young business men; one
who achieves success in whatever he
undertakes, and will ably discharge
the duties of this office.
. Mr. Allen is-a member of the city
council and senior member of the well
known realty firm of Allen & Crock
ett.
Vice President Thomas Harrold is
one of the solid and conservative busi
ness young men of Americus, and a
member of the well known house of
Harrold Brothers, doing a large busi
ness here.
He is fully identified with the pro
gress of Americus,, and his selection
as vice-president will Vi-ove a most ex
cellent one.

BASE BAIL FOR
THIS SUMMER
Fifty Men Needed to Give
$lO Each.
Baseball! Will we have it this
season or not? That’s the question
this is stirring the souls of the fans
of Americus.
“What do you think about it?” was
asked of Mr. Thomas D. Bell, the en
thusiast, who has done so much to
keep alive the baseball spirit in Am
ericus in recent years.
“To be candid,” was the reply, “The
outlook does not seem very good.
“To begin with, the most serious
obstacle of all, --we have got no ball
park. The old park has been destroy
ed, the fence taken down and
grand stand removed.
“To put up a new fence and grand
stand will cost about SSOO.
“Before We can have baseball we
must have a place to play the game
in. Before we can have the place
we must have the SSOO. Now how are
w e going to get it?
It does seem to me that Americus
should not go through the summer
without hall. We could easily ar
range for two games a week through
out the season, provided we had the
park.
“The only way I can see whereby
we can get the park is for a number
of our patriotic citizens to chip in
for the purpose. If fifty men will
each give $lO that will put us in
position to fix up the park and then
we can go ahead and do the rest.”
It really does seem as tfrough there
should lie no trouble in raising SSOO
to insure baseball for this summer.
But the question now is, who will
make the canvass? Who will devote
a matter of two or three hours a day
for a few days to seeing enough citi
zens to raise SSOO.
Surely there must be fifty men in
Americus willing to give that much
toward good, clean, entertaining sport
here this summer.
Who will start the ball rolling?
OUTLOOK 15 BRIGHT AS
REGARDS THE FRUIT
Peaches Are Thought to be
Safe.
Americus fruit growers are still op
timistic regarding the fruit crop. If
this warm spell continues several dSys
the orchards wil be far advanced and
will offer an easy mark for Jack
Frost. But fruit men do not look for
any extended or severe cold snap this
spring. We have had a long and
continuous winter and observation
leads to think that under the con
ditions experienced, the spring will
move along without dropping back to
freezing temperature. We will have
som e frost, as a matter of course, hut
it will probably not be enough to
hurt the young fruit. Dast year’s
peach crop was a small one because
we had cold weather in April, after
excessive heat in the early part of
the spring. The weather is usually
as uncertain as politics, but it seems
to maintain something like an aver
age. Three months of winter is gen
erally followed by three months of
spring.

THIRD DISTRICT MAY WITNESS
LIVELY RACE FOR CONGRESS
Col. Dudley Hughes May Decide to Oppose Congress
man Lewis-Judges Littlejohn and Crisp
Also Solicited.
The presence of Hon. Dudley M.
Hughes in Americus during the past
two days has revived interest in his
possible candidacy for Congress from
the Third District in opposition to
Hon. E. B. Dewis, who has already
anntfunced his candidacy for another
term in Congress.
Mr. Dewis’ announcement apeared
two weeks ago, and coupled with it
was the statement that he would not
again offer after this term, which will
be his seventh.
Mr. Dewis’ announcement appeared
ly supported this time, as heretofore,
is a fact that need not be stated.
But Col. Hughes seems desirous of
again getting into the game political,
and while his candidacy has not been
formally announced his friends feel
assured that he will run again as the
opponent of Mr. Lewis this year, as
he did in the campaign of 1906.
Mr. Hughes developed considerable
strength in that election, but his
friends doubt if he can poll as large
vote this year as then.
Will Support Mr. Lewis
Upon the belief that he can accom
plish much for liis district this time,
more than could a new man in his
place, Mr. Lewis’ friends will again
rally to his standard. His efforts for
an increased appropriation for a fed
eral building here will be duly appre
ciated. *
Mr. Lewis is bending every energy
to that end at present, and with every
prospect of ultimate success v To this
end, especially, Sumter county is
interested in his re-election.
Judge Littlejohn Importuned
The probability of Judge Z. A. Lit
tlejohn entering the race has been a
subject of animated discussion in
AMERICUS IS STILL TO
HAVE THE SHOOFLY
Not Affected by Probable
Change.
The statement is given out author
itively that Americus will not lose
the Seaboard morning passenger train,
arriving here from Helena at 8:30
o’clock and constituting one of the
most important of the several passen
ger trains arriving here daily. The
Board of Trade, upon the strength of
information given by the Times-Re
corder on Tuesday, at once took up
with officials of the Seaboard the mat
ter of rumored annulment, of this par
ticular train. The Seaboard may be
contemplating some slight revision of
schedules, to the betterment of the
service, but assurance was given the
Board of Trade yesterday that Am
ericus would continue to have this
train. For many years the “Shoofly”
has proved a most important factor in
promoting the commercial interests of
Americus, as well as th°* r V '■- io v

Americus and throughout the district
recently, and the presence of Col.
Hughes-here yesterday has served to
revive interest and speculation upon
this point.
Judge Littlejohn has received re
quests from hundreds of friends over
the district to enter the congressional
race, but so far has given no definite
answer to these many flattering evi
dences of esteem and assurances of
support.
Judge Littlejohn is wedded to his
profession, the law, and adorns the
position he has long held as one of
the ablest jurists of the State. He is
in no sense a politician, and would
not regard with favor a scramble for
any office, no matter how great the
coveted honor.
The belief is expressed here that
should Judge Littlejohn become a
candidate Col. Hughes would give him
his cordial support.
Judge Crisp is Also Xamed
In the local political field, the sug
gestion was made yesterday that
Judge Charles R. Crisp might yet be
induced to offer for Congress. It is
stated that he, too, has been strongly
importuned within the last few days
to enter the race, and assured of
hearty support.
Judge Crisp lias offered for the
judgeship of the city court, a position
which he so well adorns, and has no
opposition for re-election. It is a mat
ter of doubt that he would decide to
oppose Mr. Lewis at this time.
It is generally reported that Mr.
Hughes saw both Judge Littlejohn and
Judge Crisp while in Americus and
if rumors are correct, practicall y as
sured them of support if either ran.
The two gentlemen referred to will
not discuss the matter.
BIG FIELD OF RUNNERS
TO START IN LEE
Candidates for Office Are
Numerous.
Sumter’s neighbor, Lee county,
sweeps into the limelight with a
political bunch seeking office almost
as num'erous as our standing candi
datal army here. In the race for
treasurer Hall, the present occupant,
is vigorously and energetically op
posed by Capt. J. W. Forrester, of
Leesburg, and J. Max Cawood, of
Smithville. C. B. Smith, present sher
iff has for opponents Mr. Geo. C. Bass
and R. O. Laramore, and all parties
to this three-cornered race are bom
barding the woods and assaulting the
voters. Mr. J. P. Callaway, candidate
for the Senate is opposed by Mr. E. S.
Ferguson, the latter announcing that
he would not make a canvass of the
county. Chas. H. Beazley is at pres
ent without opposition for the Legis
lature. Clerk, James Morgan, no
opposition; ordinary, G. C. Edwards,
no opposition, tax collector, Frank T.
King, no opposition; tax receiver, D.
W. Tison, with J. S. Avery opposing.
County commissioners are elected by
primary for militia districts.
WANT CENSUS OF
CITY TAKEN
Committee to Go Before
the City Council.
At the next meeting of the City
Council a committee composed of
Messrs. G. W. Glover, Frank Shef
field and C. L. Ansley, will appear be- I
r fore that body, representing the bus
iness interests of the city, and will
request that Council direct that a,
census of the city be taken as soon
as possible.
This action will be in accordance
with a resolution adopted at the meet
ing of the Board of Trade on Tues
day night.
At that time Mr. Glover directed
attention to the fact that Americus is
still being credited with about 7,800
population in the various business
and other publications dealing with
such matters, while Albany, Waycross
and other cities which have taken
censuses of their own since the last
Federal census of 1900 are credited
with the figures shown by these later
reports.
As Mr. Glover pointed out, this is
to the serious detriment of this city.
Americus has had a phenomenal
growth since 1900. Probably fifty per
cent, increase has come in its popu
lation since the national census was
taken. By a lack of enterprise Amer
icus has allowed itself to be appar
ently put in the position of having
had no growth, while other cities
in Georgia have been pushed ahead
simply because they have had cen
suses of their own taken.
It was the opinion of those present
that the police department of the city
could take the census, as is done in
nearly all of the smaller cities of
this and other states. All that is want
ed is an accurate statement of the
population, white and colored.
- it is the general impression that
Council will see its way to direct the
census taken and that the figures will
soon be compiled.
It is hoped to have them in the
next books issued by Dun and Brad
street and in this way give the exact
population of the city a wide public
ity. Next year, too, the figures can
be supplied to the various almanacs
dealing with such statistics.
A look at our Spring
line of clothing will con
vince the most fastidious
that we have the most
up-to-date line that has
ever been shown in
Americus.

WEDDING AT PLAINS IS
QUITE A PRETTY ONE
Occasion of Interest in
That City.
The marriage yesterday at Plains
of Miss Mabel Timmerman and Mr.
Reese M. Andrews was an occasion
of greatest social interest in that
little city and in Americus as well,
where both the bride and groom have
numerous friends.
The rites were solemnized at 11
o-’clock yesterday morning at the
handsome residence of the bride’s pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Timmer
man, and witnessed by a large as
semblage.
The parlor and reception hall were
made most attractive in their decor
ations of Spring’s sweetest flowers.
Lohengrin’s wedding march was
rendered by Miss Ruba Timmerman,
sister of the bride, to the strains of
which the handsome couple entered
the front parlor where the Rev. J. I.
Oxford, of Fitzgerald-, awaited to re
cieve the vows which united their
destinies. '
The bride wore a very handsome
traveling suit, with hat to match, and
was altogether charming.
Petite Misses Geraldine Logan and
Christine Collins were the dainty lit
tie flower girls and very gr-acefully
performed their parts.
When congratulations had been ex
tended the radiantly happy couple the
wedding guests partook of a tempting
menu, Mr. and Mrs. Andrews leaving
by the noon train for Florida where
they will spend two or three weeks
at points of interest.
Many beautiful wedding gifts in
silver, cut glass and fine china at
tested the love and esteem in which
the young couple is held.
The bride is one of Plains most
accomplished, cultured and charming
young women, and has been greatly
admired in social circles there. Mr.
Andrews is a sterling young business
man and well worthy the beautiful
woman he claims as his bride.
Upon their return home they will
occupy a pretty new residence, near
the Methodist church.
Something new in
boys’ and children’s
Spring suits. We have
them in Russian Blouse,
in all the new colors for
