Race Legislative is Inter
esting One.
A
Senator and Members
of House Will Be
Named in August.
With five legislative candidates an
nounced already in Sumter, and the
assured probability of oiher entries
to follow, the campaign, heretofore
duiil and lethiargie, will be infused with
the spirit and ginger of strenuous
politics and waged with lively inter
est to the end on August 23rd.
For tbe state senate ar represent
ative for this, the Thirteenth district,
Messrs. J. E. Sheppard and Jeff Tay
ior are in the race for the senatorial
toga.
Both are residents of Americus, and
eacfci will surprise the other at the
ballot box.
Messrs. E. A. Nisbet, George \\\
Bagley and J. Calvin Carter have an
nounced for representative in the
order named, and thus a very stren
uous race is assured, even thougn
there be no other entries.
If there are any issues in the cam
paign said issues have not been bub
l to the surface, and each candi
date will stand upon bis ability and
persona! popularity. All are widely
known in both city and county, and
each aspirant for the honors hope for
the best results.
Sumter has two seats in the house,
and but one of the three named wiT
be disappointed in the result at the
primary in August.
But even before that date the able
voter will be called upon to gird on
his armor and hike to the front, as
there is an election called here for
July 26th.
This is to elect a senator to fill
thi> uuexpired term of the late Senator
William D. Murray, wbo died a few
weeks ago. A Schley county citizen
will be chosen for this vacancy under
the rotation system, though the elec
tion will be general in Schley, Macon
and Sumter.
The man thus honored will wear the
toga but a few days at Senator Mur
ray’s term expires with this session of
the Assembly, about three weeks
hence. So far Mr. Morgan Collum
is the only announced candidate.
‘ SALMON,” SUBMARINE
A RECORD BREAKER
Stands Severest Test in
trip to Bermuda.
Hamilton, Bermuda, July 14.—The
United States submarine boat Salmon
arrived here this morning, breaking
tile world’s record for a distance run.
There was no mishap during the voy
age. The sea was rough, giving the
vessel a severe test as to her endur
ance and stability, which she stood to
ilie entire satisfaction of the naval
officers.
The bad weather and high seas forc
ed a remarkable demonstration in
handling the vessel. The navigator
was obliged to leave tire bridge and
io opt'rate the craft from below by
the use of the periscope. The voy
age was successful throughout. The
Salmon will leave here in a day or two
for Norfolk.
The Salmon left Quincy, Mass., on
the afternoon of July 5. A stop over
night was made at Provlncetown, am;
th'e real long distance test to Bermu
da, a distance of more than 700 miles,
was begun Wednesday, July 6. She
made an average speed of between C
and 10 knots and hour.
The craft is under command of Capt.
G .C. Davidson and carries a comple
ment. of twenty officers and men,
among the former being Lieut. A. D.

D. R. Battles, wbo accompanied the
boat for the purpose of studying and

AMERICUS. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 15, 1910.
YESTERDAY’S GAME
AGAIN RESULTS IN TIE
Battle of Giants Will Con
tinue To-Day.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Quitman, July 14.—The game here
this afternoon between Americus and
the local aggregation was the 'best
exhibition of the national sport yet
witnessed on Quitman’s diamond, and
the great aggregation of fans who
saw tlie struggle between ttJB fast
organizations were well pleased.
The locals, who have just returned
from a series of three days with the
visitors on their own in
which they lost one, won one and tied
up the last, were in fine form, and
Wheeler Mangum, who lost his game
at Americus, pitched the greatest
ball of his career. Able support was
gi\en him by the oiher members of
the team, and once or twice it look
ed like the Atlanta boy would win his
game, but the Dope was a salsa one.
and the final result was a deadfall.
“Doc" Wilson, he of Tech fame, was
on the slab for the visitors, and he
had his famous strikeout arm in fine
trim. He fanned twelve of the locals,
and gave up one home-run hit to
Cooper, but walked only two men.
He was ably supported by bis team
mates, Peddy, Dunn and Vibert star
ring. Tommy Hooks did the receiv
ing and his error in the first was
partly responsible for the bunch of two
runs which the locals managed to
crowd over the rubber in this round
of play.
In the first Americus was unable :o
score and went out ,one,two, three
before tbe wonderful delivery of Man
gum.
“Mary” Calhoun, who heads Quit
man’s batting list, fanned, and was
followed by L. Donaldson, who ripped
out a swift grounder to third, and on
Vibert’s wild throw went to second.
Kitchens followed and tapped tip
trademark for a fast one directly at
Wilson, but the sphere wa3 a little
too hot for the nifty twirler and he
was safe at first, Donaldson going to
third on the play. Kitchens purloin
ed second and Lokey struck out.
Cooper was the next man up and he
coiinected with the horsehide for a
long drive over right field fence, go
ing to second and Donaldson and
Kitchens scored. Cooper went to
third and Tommy Hooks allowing one
to get by and R. Donaldson was giv
en a pass. Wilder, who ran for R.
Donaldson, stoie second, and Thomp
son fanned.
This lead of two runs seemed to in
spire the visitors to better efforts'
and during their half of the next in
ning they managed to pile up three
runs on two errors and a hit, Peddy
Wilson and Dunn being the runners to
cross the rubber. In tl.us round Wil
son was given a pass, and Peddy
bunted. Calhoun threw wild and Wil
son was safe on third, Peddy beating
our the attempted double. Mangum
then began playing for the runner and
ibrew to second. Wilson was caught
ofd, but Thompson threw wild to
third, and the visitors’ fast young
twirler scored, Peddy going to third
during the mix-up. Dunn was the
next batter up and he singled over
first, stealing second a minute later.
Hooks grounded out to first, and J.
WUeatley followed suit. Calhoun
bungled tbe play, however, and Peddy
and Dunn both scored.
There was nothing more doing ,n
the way of run-getting by either team
until the last half of the seventh, when
the home team garnered a single tal
ly and tied up tl.le result. In this
round of play Cooper, who was the
first man up, placed a beautiful fly
over the fence in deep center for a
home run, but after this Wilson was
a mystery and not another man could
be gotten across.
Darkness put an end to the playing
at the end of the ninth with neither
team the victor.
The Americus team appear to be a
gentlemanly lot of good ball tossers
and their work upon the local diamond
(here today was roundly applauded
from the grandstand and bleachers
alike. There was no unseemly wrang
ling over umpire’s decisions, and the
game proved one of the most interest
ing yet played here,
ALL A FAKE ABOUT ROBINSON ,
BEING SNAKE BITTEN IN FIELD
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Quitman, Ga., July 14.—Nothing is
known here of tbe report that Robin
son had been badly snake bitten dur
ing today's game, and there is con
siderable local indignation that such
a report should have gained circula
tion, as the Quitman diamond is con
ceded to be one of the best in this sec
tion of the state. How the rumor
originated is not known, but tbe an
nouncement has been made by Mana
' g<er McGregor that Robinson will he
jin the box for Americus tomorrow.
BLACK HAND IS ALTER
A Cl r Os ATLANTA
Russ Hopkins Now Fears
Assassination.
Has Taken Out Policies
to Protect Himself
from Black Hand.
'New York, July 14.—1 n addition to
life, accident, health, fire, burglary,
tornado, automobile and yach insur
ance policies, Russel F. Hopkinson, a
young millionaire of Irvington-on-the
Hudson, formerly of Georgia, has
taken out a $5,000 policy against as
sassination, of wLtich $2,000 is to go
to the first informant and SI,OOO each
to the three others who may supply
information regarding the deed.
Mr. Hopkinson was reticent as to
why he feared assassination. He would
give absolutely no information regard
ing the matter.
It is said that the activities of tbe
Black Hand have caused Mr. Hop
kinson to become alarmed. It is ru
mored that Hopkinson has received
one or two Black Hand letters, but
these rumors cannot be verified.
Mr. Hopkinson first came to New
York as consul for the Republic of
Panama, and in 1906 married Miss
Vera Si ©grist, a granddaughter of D\
J. J. Lawrence, a patent medicine pro
prietor of St. Louis. He built a mag-
I nificent country place overlooking the
Hudson adjoining the place of Miss
Helen Gould and installed upon <t
a menaregie open to the public.

j fertilizer will be ready for the next
season's trade. Orders for machinery,
etc., are now being placed.

Mr. Richard E. Allison, president of
1 th'e Alison Furniture aud Allison Real
ty Companies, returned to Americas
yes i nlay from an extended business
trip which took him through the Del
Li of Louisiana and through all of
Eastern Texas from San Antonio and
Houston to Dallas and Oklahoma.
Mr. Allison is a very close observer
c»‘ : otton er.q> conditions, and reports
the situation in Texas as altogether
fa-orable. ili j cdton is nu v e than
ki.ee high throughout the distance h‘>
covered, and is growing finely under
the influence of recent rains. There
is litte evidence of boll wevil as yet,
the crops are clean of grass and farm
ers in buoyant spirits. Whole the

Mr Allison thinks, are quite favora
ble for a full crop unless a remark
able change comes about in the in
terim, and this is scarcely expected
at this date.
OVER ANGRY SURE
DARING CURTISS ELIES
Brookins is Popular Hero
Among Aviators.
Atlantic City, N. J., July 14.—De
spite the protests of the Aero Club of
ficials, who advised against a flight
over white caps too rough even to
allow a lifeboat to stay off shore,
Glenn Curtiss made an exhibition
flight out to sea just before dark this
evening, rather than disappoint the
big crowd which had stood patiently
for hours in hopes of getting a peep
at an airship in action. The flight
lasted only five minutes, but was live
ly, the squally southerly breeze tip
ping the plane dangerously, as Cur
tiss described circles over the break
ers. The crowd cheered the plucky
exhibition.
Walter Brookins, hero of yester
day’s 6,175 foot flight into the air,
made no attempt to go upward, hav
ing received by wire from the Wright
brothers refusal to allow their ma
chine to be taken into the air. Cur
tiss was to have made a try for the
$5,000 prize for speed over the 50-mile
course this morning, but waited at
the request of club officials for thie
arrival of the big crowd of Philadel
phians who came to see the flight.
By the time the morning trains had
emptied their cars the wind hia>l
risen to a snappy half gale that
absolutely precluded flying and math,
the evening flight tonight dangerous
in the extreme. ,
Curtiss announced this evening that
he will make an early attempt to
cover thie course early tomorrow
morning if weather conditions are at
all suitable, and a fleet of yachtsmen
will go out and cruise along the
course to pick him up in case of an
accident. The rough sea today forced
the stakeboats to make for harbor
after they had dragged anchors and
a new line for the 50-mile course has ’
been laid out by means of rangers
j placed on housetops. Brookins has
arranged a spectacular flight for to
morrow, with himself and Frank Cof
fin together in the big Wright plane. |
Coffyn will probably drive on the
trip, during which the two expect to
make the entire circuit of the city.
Brookins is .still the aero hero of G.e
resort, and thousands waited for hours
to get a glimpse at the plucky young
ster who made the new altitude rec- ;
ord of 6,175 feet. Brookins had en- I
tirely recovered today, and smiled at ’
his thrilling experience* wlien his
engine stopped nearly 6,000 feet in '
the air.
JUDGE HART COMES
OUT 0E THE RACE.
Realizes Peace is Neither
Possible Nor Desired.
. T
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Atlanta, Ga., July 14.—Former At
torney General John C. Hart, who an
nounced himself as a candidate for
governor about two weeks ago, late
this afternoon withdrew, from the race.
His withdrawal came on the same
day he relinquished his office as at
torney general, his successor, Hon.
Hewlett A. Hall having taken charge
today.
Judge Hart, in his card of with
drawal, says:
“’There is now not even a hope left
that my candidacy will accomplish its!
purpose, and I realize now with pain)
and sorrow unspeakable that the
fight must go on. The announcement
of my candidacy had but little effect
upon th|3 ‘line-up’, and I am freely
told that peace is neither possible nor
even desired. Rcace not being pos
sible, nor even desired, duty to my
state does not require of me further
sacrifices and humiliation.”
Judge Hart in conclusion says he
retires from the contest without bit
terness and bespeaks respect of ‘‘your
governor, whoever you may choose.”

ped Generally.
In the last year nineteen cities in
the South, through tbeir boards of
trade, or through some organization
cr merchants or business men, have
taken steps to induce farmers to
build telephone lines and connect with
their towns. Funds have been rais
ed to assist the farmers in a finan
cial way, and the result has been even
more successful and gratifying than
was expected.
Farmers in Georgia and Alabama are
now selling their cotton and other pro
duce by telephone at higher prices
than they formerly obtained when
they first drove to town and ran the
risk of finding conditions unfavora
ble. ,
The plan under which farmers se
cure universal telephone service and
connection with the comprehensive
Bell system c.mtemplui.m that a group
of farmers hand together in a co-op
erative organization, build the line
and purchase the equipment. This re
quires a small cash expenditure, but
the farmers own the telephones, wires
and other material.
The line is connected with tbe Be'l
system, a flat charge being made for
service. This monthly charge is very
low and when divided among the farm
ers on tbe line is srdoiu more nun
fifty cents a month. The fact tbal
all the telephones are on the line is
an advantage rather than an objection
in rural districts.
It enables the farmer in an emer
gency to call every one of his neigh
bors to his Assistance without loss of
time.

AS RESULT OF STRIKE
SUIIS MAY BE HIGHER
Women’s Garments Go
Soaring Shortly.
Amjericus women—the multitudin
ous coat suit contingent—view wirn
alarm the assured porbability of 'hav
ing to pay $3.00 to SIO.OO additional
for their fall “tailor-made’s” and all
because the others maids—the tail
or’s maids—have gone upon a strike
and are out 75,000 strong in New
York. t
This shuts up the shops and puts
up the price on garments already made
for the summer brew.
Americus merchants are interested
in the outcome of the strike situation,
as they will soon be in the market
to lay in stocks of suits for the fall
bridge fetes here.
If it should continue sixty days it
is said that it would be difficult to get
fall coat suits at all.
The strikers have selected an op
portune time to walk out. Manufac
turers are just getting ready to turn
out fall goods and their strike leaves
the manufacturers with orders on their
hands and no way to fill them. Seven
ty-Jive thousand coat makers are now
on a strike. ,
One of tlie things the strikers are
demanding is an advance in wages.
Many of the merchants believe that
they will win, that they will get the
hi" ier wages, and that the increase
in expense to the manufacturer will
result in an advance in the price of
coat suits after th'e strike is setted.
By August Ist, the fall coat suits
will be in and if the strike is still on
tbe retailer will pay an increased price
for them, and then the consumer will
dig deeper in his pockets.
BURNED BY LIVE WIRES
BOYS ARE BADLY HURT
Climbed Pole and Almost
Electrocuted.
Two young sons of Mr. Robert Cam
eron, probably seven and nine years
of age, had <a miraculous escape from
death by electrocution yesterday. The
little boys, in order to see a baseball
game in the park, climbed on elec
tric light pole outside the grounds.
The current was on when the lads
seized the wires and the hands of
both were very badly burned to the
'hone. One of the little fellows drop
per unconscious from the top of the
pole to the ground, but escaped In
jury therefrom. Messrs: G. D. Wlheat
ley and James W. Walker, who were
passing by in a car, saw the other
boy writhing on the pole and manag
ed with difficulty to rescue him. Both
were hurried in the car to Dr. Cato'3
office, where their burns were given
attention.
