AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
SEND CARDS TO-DAY
TO GENERAL PUBLIC
For Subscriptions to Indus
trial Stock.
Committees to Continue
to Canvass Business
District.
The committees apointed to solicit
stock subscriptions for the Americus
Industrial Development Company
stock put in a short time yesterday
afternoon and added SI,OOO to the sub
scriptions already on hand, making
about $4,000 now secured.
Two of the committees were una
ble to do any work, owing to the ab
sence of members from the city, or
prior business that prevented work on
their part.
The other two committees saw a
few persons only, being unable to find
a number in when they called. The
result of their work was accordingly
encouraged.
The committees will continue their
work, taking such times as suits their
convenience. It is regarded as quite
easy to run the total up to $6,000 to
$7,000 by a thorough canvass of the
business district. Then the great out
side public will be called upon.
Today the circular letters and re
turn post cards will be sent out to
the public generally. Everyone is re
quested to subscribe, if but for a sin
gle share of stock, $lO payable SI
a month), to start the movement in
good shape.
There seems to be little doubt now,
with proper push on the part of the
Committees and the response from
the general public that the merits of
the project entitle it to, that hie full
SIO,OOO of stock should be placed with
in the next week or fortnight.
The meeting last night was well at
tended and much interest exhibited.
It was decided that the committees
should continue to work and report
at a meeting on Tuesday night of next
week. The return cards from the gen
eral public appeal will also then be
presented.
PISHING PARTY IS ENJOYING
OUTING AT WELLS’ MILL
Scon- of Americus People Are There
For the Week.
A large and thoroughly congenial
party of Americus people~-&re enjoy

the club cottage there and enjoying
the outing to the fullest extent. The
fishing is fine, for any speckled beau

ilege to swallow a hook cast by such
fair femininity. In the party there
for the week are Mr. and Mrs. Will
C. Carter, Mr. and Mrs. John Shef

Ira Lowe, Misses Hazel Tower and
Josephine Turpin, besides a half
score of young men who go down in

“Local Talent” May Have a Hand In

Beyond the arrest, upon suspicion,

Great interest is aroused over the
fact that Drs. Van Ness and Flake and
Prof. Seawell, Sunday school special
ists of note, will have charge of the
program for the afternoon and night
each day. The mornings will be de
voted to the conferences of tbe pas

be a large number. The people of
Americus will throw open their houses
to the visitors and show them that hos

All the Sunday school officers and

cordially invited to attend and get the
benefit of this splendid meeting.

Rural M.;i! Carriers May
Make Change.
Mail deliveries by motorcycle will
soon be the order bf the day in Sum
ter county, this speedy and more eco
nomical machine supplanting “the
rickety one-horse shay” upon tbe high
ways of the county. Recently the half
dozen rural mail carriers who go out
from Americus every morning have
been investigating the motorcycle, and
the swift machine finds favor in their
eyes. A high grade machine costs
less than a horse, in the first purchase
and can be maintained at far less
cost. From an economical standpoint
the motorcycle is far preferable, and
the carrier can complete his daily
route in one-fourth the time required
at present. These speedy motors are
being used by carriers in several coun
ties of the state, and Uncle Sam’s
servants in Sumter will follow suit.

Census Folks Are Getting
Over the field.
Americus is being pretty well cov

census enumerators, and the work b
progressing as well as expected, ua
der the circumstances. They are be
ing cordiaHy received at homes here
and the '.twd informat'on given t.c
them in clt-fMnd county.
Some of the takers have been mos
successful in their work. They havi
gone ahead at a rate that was scarce
ly expected when they took their as
signments. Many of them counted a
many as 200 noses~a day.
The country enumerators made sat
isfactory headway. They mail cards
containing a condensed statement oi
the day’s work, each night. That the
census takers have entered upon theii
duties energetically is apparent, and
if looks as if the work might hr

weeks in the city and a month in thr
outlying districts.
One of tbe important things tha
will be shown by the new census if

Nightly.
As announced, the revival ai the
First Methodist church began Sun
day, and Rev. Bass delivered twe
strong sermons on Sunday, as well
as Monday and last nigbt. There was
a large attendance upon these ser
vices, except Monday night, which
hindered by the inclement
weather.
Mr. Bass is a strong preacher of
the gospel, and preaches the truth)
without any apologies for the effect
upon the man who is living in sin.
His preaching is in condemnation of
sin itself, and not of the man.
The singing led by Mr. Stapleton
proved to be an attractive feature of
the meeting and will continue to im
prove as the people begin to respond
readily with their assistance in tbe
singing.
A solo sung by Mr. Stapleton at
each service has been much enjoyed. 1
On Thursday night, beginning
promptly at 7:30, Mr. J. T. Ragan, the
accomplished pianist and pipe organ
ist from Atlanta, will giv© twenty
minutes of organ recital at the
church.
He is in charge of one of the largest
organs in the city of Atlanta, and the
short recital Thursday night will bt

Americus. Immediately following this
the regular song service will begin
to which all are invited.

All of the delegates and lodges o"
the state have received official noti
fication of the meetings of the Ma

county in the state. The delegates’
first duty will be to register with the

is in the Pythian Castle.
Tbe Grand Council and Grand Chap-

AMERICUS GETS IN ON
ANOTHER MONUMtNT.
Illinois Sends Party to Cem
etery in fall.
Americus is i% on another big mon
ument at the National Cemetery at
Andersonville.
This time it is the state of Illi
nois whose monument will he made by
Americus workmen of Georgia mar
ble.
The monument is to be a hadnsome
one, as all of the state memorials
are, and will represent an outlay of
$15,000.
Clark's Monumental Works, in con
nection with a Northern house, will
put up the monument.
It is intended to have the monu
ment ready for unveiling some time
next fall, at which time the governor
and other state officers of Illino’s and
a large number of leading citizens of
from that state will come down from
Chicago in a special train.
It is greatly to be regretted that
the road to Andersonville is in such
poor shape. If it is improved by that
time it is probable that an effort may
be made to have the governor, other
state officers and some of the repre
sentative business men on the trip
make the run in autos to Americus,
see this city and meet the Board of
Trade.
In any event there will be plenty
of litera'ure on hand when the un
veiling occurs to let all the visitors
know something about this city and
Sumter county. The Board of Trade
will see to that, not only then but
| on all similar occasions hereafter.
Mothers find Perry Davis’ Painkiller
invaluable in the nursery, and it
should be kept at hand in case of
accident. For pain in (he breast take
a little Pa'nkiller in sweetened milk
and water, bathing the breast in it
clear at the same time. If the milk
passages are clogged from cold, or
other causes, bathing in the Painkiller
will give immediate relief. Ask for
New 35c bottle.

Americus lad, who is not yet thirteen
years of age, had for his ten compet
itors boys whose aged ranged from
fourteen to sixteen years, and over
all of these he bore off the honors
easily as was the verdict of unbiased
judges and that of the multitude who
heard his masterly oration,
Toombs’ Defense of His Old Slave.”
Th s accomplishment stamps him a
speaker of unusual ability, and
hosts of friends predict f<~
