AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
NO GINGER IS THROWN
INTO THE RACE YET
Sparring for Positions Like
Champions.
Brown and Smith Men
Give Out Nothing
Definite.
(Special to Times-Recprder.)
Atlanta, July 25—Little that was in
terestingly new developed today in the
race for governor. In fact, about a.l
the newspapers men have been able to
get duriing the past few days regarding
the status of the campaign is some
thing like this:
-Mr. Hoke Smith received and shook
hands with a large number of callers
to-day.”
'Gov. Brown’s mail is heavier, anil
he is receiving assurance of support
from all iparts of the state.” *
"Mi*. Smith inude an educational
speech at. Dalton. He did not touch on
politics.”
‘■'Manager Ed Mattox at Brown
headquarters, said an unusually largo
number of visitors called todap. Go-.
Brown was not at Headquarters: he
was busy getting in his message on the
Durham mine affair.”
The foregoing is a pretty fair resume
of the state campaign as the news
papers have told it this week; in fact
it would lit its history in almost any
weeks since it began.
Judge Hart’s entry and exit furn
ished the only incident that even prom
ised to enliven it, but that, has passed
into political history.
Reports from the country districts
give Gov. Brown the beet f the cam
paign situation up to this time.
Although he developed an amazing
strength in tl'e country, outside the
cities and towns in 1908, it is said
Gov. Brown is even stronger there
now, due in a large measure to the
general prosperity and the feeling that
a change might make things worse.
But to get back to the state cam
paign: Somebody ought to put a fire
cracker under it. That is the general
reeling about Here.
GOVERNOR BROWN
GIVES HIS REASONS.
He Goes Into Full Details
For Sending Troops.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Atlanta, aG., July 25.—Governor
Grown transmitted his special message
to the legislature today, giving his rea
ons for sending troops in Walker
county recently. The governor went
into the fullest details of the incident
of the mines in his message.
Tire first intimation of trouble came
!o him, he said, when Col. B. W. En
glish, Jr., president of the Lookout
Mountain Coal and Coke Company, tel
ephoned him at. the request of Deputy
Sheriff John Mitchell, of Walker coun
.y, that, ti.‘e Italian workers at tin
nines were in a state of revolt, and
urged that troops be sent at once for
ha pr t-'Ct'i m of lives and property.
The message stated that a number of
foreigners had been making threats,
but upon learning of the coming oi
troops quieted down, and were orderly
vhen the so.die.r3 arrived, although a
search of their houses revealed the.
presence of a number of shotguns, pis
tols and ammunition.
A number of affidavits from m» 1 who
•hum to have been familiar with the
situation at the mines, and wh‘o give
it as their opinion that the Italians
meant to do harm and that the prompt
sending of troops averted a disaster,
were attached to the message.

MANY SUITS ARE FILED
FOR LOSS OF FRUIT
Result of Gar Shortage
East Week.
While Americas growers did not sus
tain considerable loss by delay in the
movement of the peach crop recent pv
lot iack oi crates and cars, growers
about Port A alley and at other points
mst heavily, and many shippers are
alleady filing claims through the med
ium of tiie Fruit Exchange.
These claims are against the ra.il
r ads for failure to handle peach ship
ments after notice had been given the
rail toads, twenty-tour hours in ad
vance, of the intention of the growers
to ship the fruit.
The exchange will handle' these
claims for its members.
It is estimated that between 300 and
400 carloads of peaches, worth be
tween SIOO,OOO and $150,000, have been
declined this season owing to lack
• f transportation facilities.
It is provided that a grower must
give the rai road agent twenty-four
sours notice of his hoed of a refriger
ator car and if no car is at hand at
the end of that time to tender his fruit
tor shipment and demand a bill of lad
ing.
If a bill of lading is issued the road
is responsible far the fruit wheth r
loaded or not, and if no bill is issued
the grower has not, prejudiced his
"ignis since he lias filed a request for
i car. If tiie car arrives after the
wenty-iour hour limit the grower
oads under protest.
From this it is seen the roads a”e
obligated to the grower to handle his
crop after notice is given and is re
sponsible for all damages incurred.
The roads failed to deliver enough
cars early in tlx* month and a great
leal of fruit was soon unfit for ship
ment or sale, and it is to recover the
. line . f this fruit the members are
filing their claims with the exchange
for collection.

BOND IS RETIRED
20 YEARS IN ADVENGE
fine Condition of Americus
financially.
Entire Issue of College
Bonds Paid Off With
Surplus By City.
Twenty-three years before maturity
.he imy of Americas ony yesterday,
through t.y* bond commission, paid
off tin* entire issue of city bonds au
thorized two years ago for the pay
ment of the city’s contribution of ten
th u-'and dollars towards the erection
>f the Third District Agricultural Col
lege in, Americus.
The entire issue was thus taken up
by the city council and the interest
coupons, not one of which had been
used, cancelled.
That gives some class to the stand
ing f Americus, financially. The
money was lying idle in the hands cf
the bond commission, and was used
;o pay off an issue of bonds twenty
three years before their maturity.
Few other cities in Georgia, if any.
could do flats; paving off in 1910 a
bond issue that will not be due until
April Ist, 1933.
The bond commission had on hand
about. $35,000 to be used in cancelling
any of the bonds of the City of Amer
icas that are obtainable, even if a
premium price is demanded, as the ._
cancelled bond stops interest, and in- ■
terest is a foe that consumes both an,
individual and municipality.
No city bonds are offering now—
they are too valuable to the holders—
and the only manner in which the idle
money could be used was in paying off
the college bonds.
The City of Americus donated $lO,-
900 to the Agricultural College here,
issuing bonds due in April, 1933
twenty-three years hence. These bonds
bore 4 per cent, interest, and in 23 ,
years the interest account would have
amounted to $9,200, or a total expendi
ture to the city of $19,200.
By calling and cancelling the Umd
issue now, with its idle money, the y
thus saves $9,200 in interest, besides
getting the matter finally settled.
Clerks Hawkes thus took up and can
celled all the bonds yesterday and
filed away the hunched coupons to the l
credit of prosperous Americus.
The entire issue cost the city prac
tically nothing, as the bonds were
taken at par and ran but a very little
while before recalled.
HUNDLEY HAY BE RESTED

AMERICUS IS WINNER IN
FIRST OF THE SERIES.
Thoms Team Beaten By
Score 4 to 2.
Timely hitting, coupled with rank
fielding on the part of their opponents,
won the first game for the Champs
against Thomasvilie. A pretty game
was expected when the batteries were
announced, but one of the poorest ex
hibitions of the season it turned out.
Several bits of pretty fielding on the
pant of P-eddy, la*e, Cooper and Red
Danielson enlivened an otherwise fea
turele-s scontest.
The Champs scored a couple in the
first on a brace of errors, a wild pitch,
and a single by Peddy. Hits by Cooper,
Wheatley and Vibert and some more
“punk” fielding added two more in the
fourth.
Witli two down in the ninth Peddy
errored after making two beautiful
stops and allowed Coombs to go to
first. Lee singled to right and went
to Si ootid, Coombs on third. Reynolds
hit the wire and both scored.
Wilson ipitched a nice game, strik
ing cut eleven and walking only one.
Except in the last inning, the Thom
as vi'lle boys were unable to bunch hits
on Dim. Perryman was feeling indis
posed and retired at the end of the
sixth.
Mangum will oppose the Wolf
this afternoon and an A-l battle is
promised.

MAY REFUSE TO BUILD
MUSEUM FOR STAIE
Shortage ot Slate Cash
Reason Urged.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
• Atlanta, July 25.—Despite the fact
that Atlanta has proposed to offer to
the state a site near tine center of the
city, worth $75,000, for the erection of
a state museum the prediction is freely
made that the Legislature will not ac
cept it.
It would cost $50,000 to erect a state
museum building, but the state would
then have a property worth $125 000 at
the start and which would increase
rapidly in value.
The federated commercial bodies of
Georgia with W. C. Vereen of Moul
trie as ip resident, have urged the Gen
eral Assembly to put up a state mus
eum for the proper exhibition of Geor
gia’s resources, .mineral, agricultural
and industrial.
It is believed with the large number
of visitors to Atlanta attending con
ventions, coming as tourists or on
business, such an institution would
prove a paying investment.
Then, too, it would be almost a part
of the new chamber of commerce
building and that institution would
take it under its protecting wing.
But the state has no money, it is
said, for this purpose. The House of
Representatives has recently taken on
an economical Streak, and is no.v
turning down right and left bills ap
propriating money to the state’s high
er education—“~vistittuions.

Tourists Have Voted her
Roads Best.
The best roads in Georgia,” declar
ed l< rank Weldon, of the pathfinding
partly in Americus recently. “The
best roads between Bain bridge, Ga.,
and New York City,” declared Co!.
C. K. Aui&iey, of Bainbridge, who
accompanied the pathfinders on the
tiip irom Atlanta to Americus.
Mr. Ausiey, who was completing an
automobile trip from New York to
Bainbridge at the time, paid Sumter's
roads the greatest compliment yet be
stowed.
The best in Georgia, declared the
pathfinders. The best on the Atlantic
seaboard, declared another, who had
recently seen the best.
I'rank Weldon, of the Constitution,
is making a careful study of the roads
on bis pathfinding tour now in prog
ress, selecting the route for the great
auto run in the fall, in which Amer
icus cars will be entered among scores
of others.
Mr. W e 1 don thus summarizes condi
tions as he lias jus. found them in
South Georgia. Observe his remarks
covering Sumter:
Houston—ln a few months this coun
ty will have a new road from one
sibe to the other.
Mac.n—-Heavy peach traffic during
the recent rainy season- has cut up
the roads, but the county is using the
drag, its superintendent understands
road building, and is on the job. >
Schley—The link from the Macon
county line to Ellaville needs to be re
built. The county’s small gang will
go on this in a short time. From Ella
ville to the Sumter line, 6 miles, an
excellent piece of sandy clay con
struction.
Sumter—Decidedly the best roads
thus far seen; roading almost flat:
surface firm soon after rains, indicat
ing careful and intelligent selection
of material; a perfect road, entirely
across the county.
Lee I —Very crooked and bad from
Smithville to Leesburg; south of Lees
burg splendid; highly creditable to the
county.
Dougherty—Excellent Into Albany;
poor from Albany to north line. This
last link i 3 to be rebuilt.
Worth—Roads had into Slyvester.
Some excellent roads south of the
county seat. Shore is much work to
be done, but the county is improving
its roads.
Colquitt—Fair to excellent into
Mountrie; very po r from Moultrie
to Hartsfietd, but this can be made
good at small expense. More bridges
are needed.
Mitchell—T clayed roads are
splendid in dry wtaather, but are
muddy and slippery after rains. Con
siderable sand west of Camilla; fair
roads from Camilla to Pelham.
Decatur Very fine main roads, as
a rule. Some are excellent, hut they
have not the finish of Sumter’s high
ways.
