AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
MEETING IS PUr OFF
BECAUSE OF CIRCUS.
Will Probably Be Held on
Friday Night.
The meeting scheduled for tonight
to complete the preliminary organi
zation of the Americus Industrial De
velopment Company, Lias been post
poned until some later date of which
ample announcement wil be made.
The postponement is made owing to
the fact that Sun Brothers circus gives
a performance tonight. Many who are
desirous of attending the circus are
also interested in the industrial move
ment and requested that a -postpone
ment be announced.
Interest in. the movement is appar
ently decidedly on -the increase. The
plans that have been announced have
met with general public approval.
Apparently all that is needed now is
to give a further push to the move
ment to bring a much larger number
of citizens into-line.
While it is not possible to state def
initely, it is probable that the post
poned meeting will be held on Friday
night. It is hoped when the meeting
is held to -have not -less than a hun
dred citizens out. There were fifty
at the last meeting and the attendane
-should be doubled at the second pub
lic gathering for this purpose.

(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Atlanta, April s.—Dr. P. A. Banker
national president of the Anti-Saloon
League, at today’s session of the!
southern league convention declared ■
that the greatest obstacle in he way'
of prohibition is the internal revenue j
department, which) he says smells ol

of the place where it is shipped, as is
now the case.

Crippled Veteran Takes Prizes and is

Big Rapids, Mich., April 4.—-W. 11.
Frick, residing near Alton, is a noted
celery and onion producer, Ms celery
having brought him a number of
prizes. But he is a crippled civil war
veteran and on acount of his infirmi
ties has to do his cultivating while ly
ing flat on the ground.
In battle he received a crippled arm
and lost a part of his hand; besides
which his eyesightt is so poor he is
unable to distinguish the celery or the
onion from weeds or to even see it
until the plants -attain a fair size,
Frick says that though he finds it a
difficult and tiresome method of doing
the work, he thorougMy enjoys it and
finds life worth living.

REWARD FOR NEGRO IS
NOW FIXED As SBOO.
Citizens of Lumpkin Are
After Slayer.
Americus officers have been apprised
of the fact that the reward for the
capture of Love Randall, the Stewart
l county negro who brutally murdered
Richard A. Stratford some weeks ago,
has been increased to SBO0 —the largest
on record in Georgia for the apprehen
sion of a negro criminal charged witli
a similar offense. The authorities are
now of the opinion that the negro has
succeeded in getting out of Georgia
and they -are directing their efforts to
enlisting the co-operation of the offi
cers in other sections With) a view of
bringing the brute to justice. To this
end, thousands of post cards have been
mailed out to all sections, giving a
description of Randall, which is as
follows: Color, rather black; age,
about 45 years; height, 5 feet 7 inches;
weight, about 160 pounds.
SOAP PINCUSHIONS USED
BY UP-TO-DATE SURGEONS
How and Why They Were Introduced
Into Hospitals.
Baltimore, April 4.—ln the operating
rooms of hospitals and on the surgical
carriages in thie wards may be seen a
piece of ivory soap stuck with the
varieties of pins which it pleases the
doctor and the head nurse to most
effect. ~
The black-headed pin long associat
ed with crinoline dressings, retains
still an honored place, says the Alum
nae Magazine of Johns Hopkins Hos
pital. The history of thie introduction
of the soap into the hospital is 'n
teresting.
Three years ago Dr. R. H. Follis
operated upon a patlient at the Church
Home. The patient was a tailor by
profession and chanced to reside at
Annapolis. When dressings were made
he observed thie difficulty with which
the safety pins were put through the
binder and suggested trying the
method the cadets at the Naval Acad
emy had evolved to help in pinning
through their stiff ducks.
This simple but most effective device
was a piece of soap as a pin cushion,
and he further remarked that carpen
ters applied the same principle to
screws, with such success that it has
been generally adopted in the surgical
service.

Fruit Produced by Cross-Graft- Has
Pineapple Flavor.
Berkley, Cal., April 4.—An edible
fruit from the climbing rose has been
-produced by Hugo Lilenthal, a local
horticulturist. He declares that the
fruit will in course of time take the
place of the Loganberry, to wMch it
is allied.
Lilenthal succeeded in obtaining the
fruit by cross-grafting. The fruit,
which he says is quite nutritious and
has a flavor like a pineapple, may
be eaten either raw or cooked.

FINE SPRING DEMAND FOR
READY-TO-WEAR GARMENTS
There has been excellent demand
for ladies’ ready-to-wear garments
ithis spring, said Mr. Charles L. Ans

to that time did not check the demand
materially, and since Easter there has
been a continued demand that has in
dicated that the present season is to
be one of the best on record. Mr. Ans

CIRCUS IN AMERICUS A
TREAT FOR MULTIIUDE
Sun Bros. Show is Here
for B#'!fafit.
Americus in joy spasmodic greets
the first spring circus today for no
other occasion, not even excepting
“bonnet day” here, would attract -a
greater multitude than will Sun Bros.’
Shows which are Here for two per
formances for the benefit of that ag
gregation we all love so well—the hall
team. -
The show will arrive this morning
from Macon, where it has been in win
ter quarters since November Jast, and
where the first show of the year was
given yesterday.
Everything is new, bright and at
tractive from the polished elephant to
tlie refined songs of the clown.
The show will pitch its tents out at
the ball park and two performances
as usual—afternoon and night—will be
given, beginning at 2 and 8 p. m.
The program to be offered will be
equally as complete at night time as
at the matinee. The Sun Bros, make
a special feature of thie night show.
At 12:30 p. m. and also at 7 p. m. there
will be a series of free exhibitions,
and these have been heralded as be
ing something out of the ordinary.
The Sun Bros, lay stress on the
fact that these gratuitous shows are
the best offered by a traveling tented
show i-n Americus. The Lorello’s in
their double cable act, in which they
introduce “Blondin,” the elephant
walking a tight rope, is worth walking
many blocks to witness. The act was
the hit of the leading hippodromes
last summer. The aerial dental mar
vels, the Cevens troupe, tight wire
wonders the musical and acrobatic
elephants; Miss Maretta, the Scotch
arenic beauty; the only Marinella,
rival for Jim Jeffries’ honors and Gor
don Orton and Miss Eileen Sun
equestric carriage artists, are among
the classy aqts in -the big show.
The Americus ball team shares in
all the -proceeds of the show and ask
the patronage of all -their friends.

PORK AND RUM HIGH
IN THESE GOOD OLD TIMES
So Butlerites In 1804 Asked Court To
Fix tin* Prices-on Them.
Butler, Pa.. April 4.—Records yellow
with a century's age were unearthed
in the office of Clerk of Courts Robert
M. McFarland which show that a high
cost-of-living crusade was in progress
as early as 1804. ,
A document filed with) Judge Moor
in -that year is signed by 100 citizens,
petitioning the court to “set a stipu
lated price on provisions for man ami
horse and on liquors in the taverns of
the county.”
The petitioners prayed for redress
and asserted: “It is the consensus of
opinion that 25 cents for a meal of
victuals and 12 cents for a half-pint of
whisky is an extortion, as whisky has
been purchased for 40 cents a gallon
pork from 3 to 4 cents a pound and
flour for $2 per hundredweight.”
Thie records give no evidence as to
whether the prayer which was led l>y
Michael Martin, was ever answered.

DOWDLE IS MELD IN
KILLING 0E McGRADY
Negro is Given a Trial
Monday.
Luther Dowdle, who bored John
Henry McC.rady through the back with
his trusty rifle a week ago, was given
a committal trial yesterday before
Judge Crisp and admitted to baril in the
sum of SSOO on the charge of man
slaughter. Both negroes lived in the
country near Americas, and while
Dowdle’s story at the trial yesterday
was entirely different from that told
Deputy Sheriff Fuller at the time of
the killing, he put up the usual plea
of self-defense, which stood him in
good stead. At the time of the killing
Dowdle is said to have stated that he
d d not mean to shoot McGrady; and
that the gun was fired by accident
Yesterday the testimony was to the
effect that- McGrady was trying to
knife Dowdle when the latter bored
him in the back.
