AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
PL ACE D J 52,000 STOCK
INSIDE TWO BLOCKS.
Committee Reported Much
Public Interest.
Half of Stock Will Be
Placed By Thurs
day’s Meeting.
The committee charged with the so
liciting of subscriptions to the stock
of the Americus Industrial Develop
ment Company made a preliminary re
port at the meeting last night.
Tire committee had only been able
to g've a little over an hour to the
work of soliciting inside of two blocks
in the business district, but it had se
sured subeription to about two hun
dred shares of stock, which', at $lO
each, mean $2,000.
The committee stated that it felt
satisfied that it would not be a diffi
cult matter to double this in another
hour or two, and that out of twenty
five people seen only two had failed
to subscribe for from one to ten shares
of stock.
The general opinion is that with a
reasonable degree of push the stock
desired placed can all be disposed of
and the organization begin life with
1,000 shares subscribed for, which
would give it a capital of SIO,OOO with'
which' to operate. This would be pay
able at the rate of $1 a share pei
month, giving an income available
for industrial promotion of SI,OOO per
month.
At the meeting of the Board of
Trade tonight it is probable that that
body-will be invited to appoint a
committee to co-operate with the so
liciting committee already in the field.
Practically every one working in the
interest of the Americus Industrial De
velopment Company is a member of
the Board of Trade.
Another meeting in the interest of
the industrial development movement
will be held at the Council chamber
on Thursday at 8 o'clock, when it is
probable that the committee will be
able to report that at least one-h'alf
of tiie stock has been placed.
It is desired to interest every one
in the city in the industrial develop
ment movement. A circular letter 's
to be prepared and sent to every
citizen, stating specifically what it is
proposed to do, and giving a form of
stock subscription.
An interesting feature of the move
ment was a telephone message from
a lady expressing her desire to sub
scribe for one share for herself and one
for each of her two children, showing
how the interest is growing.

WERE ADDRESSED BY
REV. J. 0. TURNER
Supremacy of the Soul Was His Theme
Sunday.
Rev. J. Clyde Turner, pastor of the
Tatnall Square JBaptist church of Ma
con, who is conducting the series of
evangelistic meetings at the Furlow
Lawn Baptist church, addressed the
meeting for men at the Young Men’s
Christian Association on Sunday after
noon, on the subject “The Supremacy
of the Soul.”
Rev. Mr. Turner is an evangelist, not
of the stereotyped style of emotional
ism, but of the direct, thoughttful,
scholarly but not scholastic manner
that goes directly to the germ of the
question and grips the hearts of men.
The address on this occasion was
heard most attentively by rather more
thian the usual number of men at
tending these services.
Mrs. J. W. Harrs, Jr., added to the
service by her pleasing rendering of
“The Plains of Peace.”

FRICTION IS ENDED IN
REMOVAL OF FENCE
i No Ballgame in Courthouse
As Feared.
i Grand Stand and Fence
Pulled Down. Getting
New Park inShap?.
The court house will not be the
. scene of the Champs first ball game
in Amenicus this season, as was feared
recently as the result of the removal
of the club’ property from the old ball
, park to the, new grounds. In fact,
there will he no trouble whatever
growing out of the matter.
It was a veritable “tempest in a tea
pot” and the cooing* dovelet now hov
ers over the scene of apparent fratri
* cidal strife.
The work of dismantling the old
park is going on at a rapid rate, and
ere the end of the current week tine
grandstand, bleachers and fence will
'be in position on the new grounds in
the rear of the Parker warehouse.
Any existing differences to this end
were adjusted yesterday and permis
sion given by the owners of the old
ball grounds" for the removal of the
club’s property.
This action disposes of any conten
tion upon that score.
Manager McGregor will _hiave a force
of laborers at work today, shaping up
the new ball grounds There is a
great deal to be done upon that line,
and it is estimated that it will cost
the team S2OO to put the d amond in
shape for playing and to level off the
grounds.
Th,e park is hardly as large as de
sired. but its advantageous location is
greatly in its favor. Hundreds will
attend the games there who nevei
went to the old park.
This was a mile distant, and during
last season the local team paid out (
probably $125 in hack fares for visit
ing teams. The new grounds are with
in a block of the Allen House, and
three blocks of the Windsor Hotel.
Some money will be needed for ex
penses incurred in fitting up the nev
.park, and this will be forthcoming
Americus is essentially a ball town,
and enthusiastic supporters of the
game here can be depended upon to
help the team in their hour if neces
sity. They will get the money.
The ladies—the most enthuiastic
fans and darling “rooters” that ever
backed up it ball club—are pleased
with the change of base, and will at
tend the games in larger numbers than
ever before.

Tor Annual Dinner.
The regular monthly meeting of the
(board of trade will be held in the
city council chamber at 8 o’clock to
night.
Among the matters to come up at
mis meeting is that of tne annual
dinner of the organization. It was de
cided at the last meeting that the us
ual dinner should be held, and that
the entertainment committee should
have it in charge. It is probable that
a report will be made at tonight’s
meeting, the date fixed and other pre
liminaries attended to.
The committees for the ensuing year
are also to be named by President
Shiver. This was deferred until the
list of members could be revised. Since
the last meeting it is understood that
a number who had dropped out of the
organization have renewed their mem
bership. President Shiver desires to
make the committees as strong as pos
sible, with a view to effective work
during the next eleven month.
There are usually several matters
of imlportance that come before the
•board at its monthly meetings and a
large turn-out of members is hoped
for.
MISSISSIPPI SENATORS
ENGAGE IN EISTICUEE.
Bribery Scandal Supposed
lo Be Cause.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Jackson, Miss., April 11.—While
Chaplain White was praying in the
state senate today there was a row
upon the floor of the chamber, caused
by Representative Frank Burkett and
Director of Archives and history Dun
bar Rowland engaging in a rough' ana
tumble fight. Representative Bu*-
kett, who was once a candidate for
vice president on the Populist ticket
but who has since came back into the
Democratic fold, is a very large man
and was being vigorously pummelled
by his smaller antagonist when other
members first reached the scene of the
disturbance. During the struggle, how
ever, Burkett managed to get from un
derneath Rowland and struck him a
a terrific blow over the head with a
chair, rendering him unconscious.
The row ! s supposed to have been
the outcome of hoi words engaged ’’n
by the two gent’enif ■ derng the re
cent bribery investigation that has
engaged the at!cut on of Mississippi’s
lawmakers for the past two weeks.
Rowland’s injuries Are not believed H
be of a serious nature

BUSINESS NORTH IN
j UNSTITLED CONDITION
Legislation. Courts, and La
bor the Cause.
President A. N. Walker, of the Amer
icus Lighting Company, is back from
a two months’ business trip to the
North, during which he visited New
York, Philadelphia and other cities
several times on matters of business
and came into contact wren numerous
men of affairs.
“I found that business is not as
good as was expected for this spr*.,.g,’
said Col. Walker yesterday. “There
is an air of uncertainty hanging over
business in general, a sort of wonder
ment as to what developments will
be in the near future in politics, in the
courts, and in labor circles. It is ap
parently felt that disturbing influences
are at work, the effect of which can
not properly be appreciated until later
on The decisions of the Supreme
court in the Standard Oil and Tobac
co cases are awaited with intense in
terest, as they may materially affect
the business situation. The trend of
wages is upward, too. ml the likeli
hood of labor disturbances on a large
scale if there are not further quite lib
eral advances of wages, is another
unsettling element. The fact that in
the earning congressional elections the
tariff and other business features will
probably cut considerable figure also
acts as a deterrent to a greater activ
ity in manufactures and trade. All in
all it looks like spring and summer
will be marked by only a moderate
volume of business, instead of tbe ex
pansion that had been looked for after
the passage of the tariff bill. With
Roosevelt’s return and the likelihood
of national politics being immediately
cast on a broad scale for the next two
years, it would seem that a policy of
conservatism, tinged with uncertainty,
may mark business for some time to
come.
“I found wherever I went,” con
tinued Col Walker, “that there Is an
ever-increasing degree of interest In
the development of the South. Busi
ness men everywhere North are will
ing to ask questions about the South
and seem eager to get all the informa
tion they can about the outlook and
opportunities here. This Is a fine time
to advertise this section, to force the
general interest to the pdint where it
will result in investments. The feel
ing seems to he growing rapidly that
this section offers brilliant opportun
ties for profitable investments.”
STANDARD OIL CASE

(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Washington, D. C., April 11.—The
United States Supreme court today de

of the Standard Oil Company and the
Tobacco Trust. This means that Pres

ROW STARTS IN HOUSE
AGAIN OVER CANNON.
Speaker Again Roasts the
Insurgents.
Members of His Party
Bitter at Remarks of
the Speaker.
(Special to Times-Recorder.) ,
Weshington, D. C., April 11.—
Speaker Cannon gave the house an
unexpected se.mrtion this alernoon
just as that body was about to act on
file senate dk-agreement to the amend
ment providing for maintainence of
the speaker's automobile. He called
Representative Mann to the chair and
taking the floor declared with' much
zeal that the entire question of provid
ing an automobile for the use of the
speaker was immaterial to him, "and
that it had first been instituted by
the house.
He. said that he did not care whether
the house approved or disapproved the
proposition. He asserted that it did
not originate in the house in the
first place, but had been provided for
by the senate at the last session of
congress. He criticized the insurgent*
for having had the courage to join
force with the democrats.
The insurgents are very much
wrought up over his remarks, and it i 3
now believed that they will make one
more attempt to oust him from the
speakership, as was contemplated a
few weeks ago. The insurgents were
seen congregating in groups on the
floor of the house this afternoon, con
ferring as to the advisability of again
offering a resolution declaring the
speakership vacant. The statement
was made that such a resolution would
be made before the close of the ses
sion, and a number of insurgents who
voted against ousting Cannon said
this afternoon that they would vote
otherwise if the question came up
again.
The breach between the regulars
and insurgents is now believed to b(
strained.
CROWDS FILL THE CHURCH
TO HEAR REV TURNER
Meetings at Furlow Lawn Baptist
Continue This Week. ’
The revival meetings which have
been in progress at Furlow Lawn Bap
tist church for -the past, week have
been continued with' unabated interest.
Record-breaking crowds heard Rev. J. I
Clyde Turner on Sunday, the congre-!
gations at night taxing the capacity j
of the church. Mr. Turner’s charm as
a pulpit speaker consists very largely
in the fact that he makes the most
profound subjects so plain and simple
that even the children of the congrega
tion understand and listen eagerly to
what he says. He will preach again
this afternoon at 4 o'clock and tonight
at 7:30, and will doubtless be greeted
by large and enthusiastic audiences
at botji services.
