BAGLEY OUT OF RACE
FOR SEAT IN HOUSE.
Pressure of Other Business
Cause Assigned.
Mr. George W. Bagley has retired
from the race for representative from
Sumter county. This action upon his
part will cause regret to the very
large number of friends whose cordial
support he would have had, and will
be received by them with l no little sur
prise.
iPressure of other business, and
inability to make a thorough canvass
of the county induces this step upon
Mr. Bagley's part.
In fact, his candidacy was announc
ed by a number of and
probably without having fully consult
ed his wishes in the premises, else
be would not have entered the race ai
all.
Mr. Bagley has large private inter
ests which demand all of his atten
tion and time and in addition thereto
he ig president of the recently organ
ized DeSoto hank, and is now busily
engaged with the erection of a bank
building and other affairs connected
therewith.
For these reasons onlv Mr. Bagley
deems it best not to enter the legisla
tive race actively, and therefore after
a candidacy of a few days only re
tires.

FAME OF AMERICUS IS
SUNG BY THE EDITORS
Frances Clark is Enthus
iastic Over It.
Xells of Beauty of City
and the Fine Roads
That Lead to It.
The fame of Americus is being
sung in praise by the Georgia editors
who traveled hither this week an dare
now back in their sanctums. Among
the enthusiastic and appreciative of
the visitors here was Col. Prances W.
I lark,, siate-tnews editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, who*thus tells of his im
pressions here in yesterday's edition
of Georgia’s great daily.
Under a “special” date line Editor
Clark writes as follows:
‘ Already fame/ over the state for
the warmth of its hospitality, this
beautiful city, situated in the garden
spot :of the south, fairly outdid her
self in the cordiality wi h which the
delegates to the annual convention of
the State Weekly Press Association
were greeted, and it is certain that for
many weeks to come the praise of
Americus will be found in the editor
ial columns of the weekly papers of
the state.
“Although the convention closed
yesterday, many of the delegates could
not force themselves to leave until to
day, and even then their reluctance in
so doing was easily observable.
“And they were not to be blamed,
for their stay in this aristocratic old
town, whose citizenh proudly point lo
the prominent part it has played in
the history of the state, was enjoyable
from the time they alighted from the
incoming trains until the moment they
regretfully packed up their belongings
and left for their homes.
Peach Farms of Sam ter.
“Peach feasts, banquets, automobile
rides, ball games—all these and more
forms of entertainment were pulled
off in quick succession, that left the
delegates tired and happy at the con
clusion of each day.”
Beautiful Homes and Roads.
Sumter county is justly famed for
its beautiful roads—broad and beau
tiful, they stretch ou: in every direc
tion from Americus toward the sur
rounding county lines—but Americus
itself can just as proudly claim dis
tinction as a city of beautiful home.s
The magnificent estates of the
Councils, the Wheatleys, the Har
rolds, the Laniers, the Crisps and
others—all names long prominent in
the development of the state—set in
Ihe midst of beautiful I p kept grounds
are gems of ante-bellum and modern
architecture, and presented a beauti
ful sight to the visiting delegates
as they were bowled along the splen
didly shaded streets in the autos which
their owners placed at the disposal jf
their guests.
All Planters in Slimier.
And the plantations of Sumter
county! To the average North Geor
gian the sight of hundreds upon
hundreds of rolling acres of fruit,
grain, cotton and corn were a revela
tion. There are practically no farm
ers in Sumter county—they are ail
planters, and in the old time accept
ance of the ward at that.
The men who are making the rich
lands of the county yield golden har
vests are those which are to he found
in the palatial homes of Americus, and
while they have overseers, even the
smallest details receive the attention
of these men who go back and forth
each day in their handsome automo
biles from their beautiful homes hi
the city to their broad acres in the
country.
Sumter’s Marvelous Peaches.
“A sight like that is unbelievable
until seen,” said a one-time city edi
tor of an Atlanta daily, but now an
officer of one of the South’s greatest
as he was whizzed
through mile after mile of peach trees
so burdened with luscious fruit that
their ovenladen limbs were touching
the ground.
It is a sight almost indescribable to
look over the hundreds of thousands
of trees and see through the dark
foliage the yellow and crimson cheeks
of the famous Elberta. A slight idea
of the magnitude of the industry is
obtained in the statement from the
manager of one orchard that he ex
pected to put up during the season,
which lasts only a few days, over
750,000 cans of fruit.
These are some of the many things
that caused Georgia’s weekly editors
to have the time of their lives during
the few days they spent here; but
chief among all the attractive fea
tures of the city is the ry od, old
fashioned Southern hospital!ity that i ■;
ever extended to the visitor within
iis gates by this hospitable city in
Georgia’s particular little corner of
the land of peace and plenty.”

TIED TIGHT IN TENTH
i BY THREE TO THREE.
Americus and Quitman Tie
Up Again.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Quitman, Ga„ July 15. —Ten innings
to a deadfall tells the story of
today’s game between Americas and
the locals in a paragraph.
Wilder, who has won every game in
which he performed this season unt'l
this afternoon was on + he slob for
; hj locals, and Robinson, did the send
, ing for the visitors. Both pitchers
j. were in fine form, but to Wilder’s
inability to c< i iro! the ball In the
t first inning is lad the failure of the
l.ocals to win. Considered the head
t iest player on the team. Wilder “blew
up” in the first and made two wild
. tosses to second, the result being three
'tallies garnered by the visitors.
After this inning, however, he set
. Med down to business and there was
nothing doing in the way of run get
ting, though once or twice Americus
came dangerously near squeezing a
runner across the rubber.
zThe locals got their first run in
the third on a pass, a single and «
wild throw by Robinson. Donaildson
was the first batter up and he was
given transportation. Wood sacrificed
him to second, and Wilder followed
with a slashing single to right, Donald
son going to third. L. Donaldson then
bunted and was safe at first on
Hooks’ wild throw to Wheatley, ft.
Donaldson scoring and Wilder going
to third on this play. L. Donaildson
attempted to purloin second and was
cut off by Hooks. Calhoun then sin
gled and Wilder romped across the
plate, and here ended the run-getting
unril the sixth, for while Oglesby was
given a pass by Robinson. Lokey, who
followed Him, bunted an easy one to
Vibert and was out at first.
In the sixth the locals again got
into the business of tally gathering
and tied up the result of the con
test on two errors and a bunt. Kitch
ens was the first man up and reached
first saf ly on Robinson's faMure to
handle a line drive to pitcher. Cooper
followed with a safe bunt and Kitch
ens w'ent. to third on a wild throw to
Wheatley. R. Donaldson then hit to
Vibert and Kitchens sprinted for
home. Vibert returned the ball in
plenty of time to catch him, but Hooks
failed to hold the sphere and he was
safe, Cooper going to third. Wood
followed at bat and Cooper took a
big lead off third, being caught a
minute later by Robinson. Wood
struck out and Donaldson was caught
napping at first, which ended the in
ning.
After this neither team was able to
score and the contest was called off at
the end of the tenth with the mo >n
half an hour high in the heavens.
The game was witnessed by one of
Ihe largest crowds ever asembled ou
the local grounds and the resillt was
a distinct disappointment, as the fans
here confidently expected to win at
’east two out of the three games to
be played with the vistors. Tomor
row Perryman will be in the box for
Quitman, and it is reported Wolfe
will do the twirling for Americus.

SARAH BERNHARDT
ON WOMEN SOLDIERS
I remember, says Bernhardt, in the
August Strand, when 1 first appeared
as the Due de Reiehstadt, 1 thought
to myself how little disadvantage sex
is to a woman who wishes to play a
distinguished part, not merely on the
stage, but in real life. Women are
only weak when their characters arc
weak. Surely Louis XVI. did not
think women were weak when battal
ions of them were surrounding his
palace as Versailles. My experience
has shown me that French women are
more resolute, more fearless, more
competent than the women of other
nations. They wouild not plead then
sex in the face of the enemy. Just
as Jaenne d’Arc was a born military
leader, so, in case of a crisis today,
many women would be found who,
if men were pusillanimous, would cry
with Lady Macbeth: “Give me the
daggers!”

General Prospects Are Very
Gratifying.
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 15.—The
middle of July finds! ndustrial condi
tions holding up splendidly in the
■ Southern states and prospects gratify
ing. From one state comeg the re
port of additional orders for freight
cars by a railroad and tbe statement
that these cars are being ordered to
accommodate the present rushing bus
iness and increased traffic in sight for
the coming fall season. During the
early part of this month the cotton
mills of tbe South held their annual
meetings and declared dividends, the
figures being encouraging to that in
dustry in spite of the cotton price?
which have forced a degree of curtail
ment in production. Front the iron
producing centers comes the broad in
timation that accumulated iron will
soon move off and other advices indi
cate that the railroads will be lively
factors in tbe market ere lone.
A survey of tlr agricultural area
of the South at this writing reveals
prospects alluring and pleasing, with
no discomfitting features in sight so
far as reported. There are important
straws showing the direction of the
wind, and it alii seems to he blowing
to the good of this favored section.
In seme of tbe Southern states, nota

the record of the week includes six
large concerns having to do with cot

DARING AVIATOR DROPS
MIMIC BOMBS ON YACHT
Curtiss Gives Remarkable Exhibition
at Atlantic City.
Atlantic City, N. J., July 15.—Glenn
Curtiss tossed oranges as mimic bombs
within three feet of tbe decks of the
yacht John E. Mehrer 11., used in
place of a batleship during the sham
battle arranged to show the utility of
Aeroplanes in coast defense. The
mock “bombs” were thrown form a
height of about 300 feet, and Mr. Cur
ftiss puhposly fa* ed to strike the
deck of the yacht, because 'of the
deck purposel}*, because of the offi
officials and passengers on board.
In Walter Brookin’s flight here re
cently the adept driver glided his
machine toward the ocean until its
runners were submerged in a breaker
He then rose safely and glided to the
beach. Both Curtiss and Brookins
made exhibition flights over the ocean
here.
The prizes of $5,000 each were pre
sented to Mr. Brookins for breaking
the altitude record, and to Mr. Cur
tiss for establishing a 50-mile Ameri
can record over a sea course. Twenty
two flights were made during the ten
days of tbe meet.

PLENTY OT CARS FOR
CROP AF AMERICUS.
Orchards Here Are Supplied
Promptly.
Americus fruit shippers have becu
afforded every advantage by the rail
roads here in the prompt supplying of
refrigerator cars for peach ship
ments, and while other points are less
fortunate it is probably the fau/lt of
shippers that cars cannot be had
when wanted.
At Fort Valley and Marshaltyille
orchards it is said that thousands of
crates of peaches may be lost because
cars cannot be had there as wanted.
No other shipping points are in like
delimma, so far as known.
The Raymond Orchard Co. has ship
ped fifty cars peaches and wound up
the crop there, while the Ware-Prog
ress Orchard Co. will probably finish
today with a like number of cars gone
forward.
At the Carolina Realty Co.’s orchard
stripping is still in progress with a
total of perhaps thirty or thirty-five
cars shipped.
Out at the Bagley-Ray Orchard
Co.’s big packing plant the season is
just at its height and a half dozen
(cars are loaded there daily. This
company had plenty of refrigerator
cars in its yards yesterday, and
throughout the shipping season has
experienced no difficulty of this kind.
Mr. H. C. Bagley, of Atlanta, is giv
ing his personal attention to the
handling of the Elberta crop, and
while thousands of trees in his mag
nificent orchard are still bending be
neath their weight of luscious fruit,
he expresses tbe belief that the greater
portion of it can be easily handled.
One more week, however, and the
peach season here will have ended.
A RECESS TO AUGUST
IS ORDERED BY COURT.

No Session City Court Next
Week.
There will be no session of the
City Court of Americus next week
—the adjourned June term—as another
adjournment until Monday, August
Bth, will be ordered by Judge Crisp
when court convenes Monday morning.
When Judge Crisp ordered the ad
journment in June until this date it
was believed that the farmers could
clean their fields of grass within the
interim. But the situation now is
more serious than at that time, and
the court officers, lawyers, jurors and
others have asked a further postpone
ment of the bonded misdemeanor
cases upon the docket. This request
Judge Crisp will grant, and the ad
josvrned session will go over until
August Bth, three weeks hence.
