AMMKICUS TIMEB-RECORDER
CITY ELECTION
WILL RALLY
THE VOTERS
Warm Campaign is Expected
to Begin Now.
Mayor and Three Aldermen Will Be
Named at City Election Called sci
Nov. 3Q!h—Candidates Will Ge
Busy Now.
With mingled interest and pleas
urable Surprise did the public read
yesterday the call of tbe City Demo
cratic Executive committee for the
primary election on November 30th at
which time candidates lion mayor,
three aldermen and city clerk and
treasurer will he nominated.
This prompt action of the commit
tee is to be commended. Usually it Is
a drag to get the committee to call
tbe city primary.
Action is Commended.
The action of the present committee,
however, will start the political ball
rolling, and the able voter can gird
up his loins tor a strenuous cam
paign of three weeks. For the field
will be a full one.
Mayor Felder's term of two vears
expires shortly, as does that of'City
Clerk Hawkes, and the aldermanic
terms of Messrs. €. C. Hawkins. C. J.
Clark and J. E. Poole. Probably, all
of these will be in the race for re
election, although there is no offici tl
information to this effect yet.
But there will be others in the rac-->
too, for some of the offices, if not for
ill of them, it is said.
Two Elections in Month.
The action ot the Executive Com
mittee in calling the city primary on
November 30 puts two elections upon
the voters this month, tbe other being
"he equally important bond election
next Tuesday wherein it is proposed to
issue $60,000 of additional bonds for
very much needed improvements here
The voters of Americus well .under
stand the issue and the whole story
need not b e rehearsed here.
Number Voters Not Known.
Just how many voters are registered
tor this first election is a matter of
guess work and conjecture. The
hooks were ordered closed last Thurs
'ay afternoon at 5 o'clock, hut yes
terday afternoon Clerk Hawkes stat
'd that he was yet unable to give out
the number of voters registered.
Roth sides to the contest, the Citi
zens club, which favors tbe whole
bond issue, and the Lighting Company
nterests, which ar e fighting tbe mu
nicipal ownership feature of the bond
■'flsue. are alive to the situation, and
will continue to the end.
THE COWBOYS TO TROOP

Americus will welcome the wild and
woollyvwest Wednesday, when th e big
‘lOl Ranch” show, with its Indians,
cowboys, bucking bronchos, buffaloes
and other long-haired specimens of
the western plains comes here. This

ence, and is drawing immense crowds
in every Georgia city where exhibi
tions are given. There will be an
unique street parade in Americus on
Wednesday with two exhibitions, af
ternoon and night. On e hundred In
dians are carried by the big show.

harpooning one Bell Neal, a bad, bold
black Tlrother, who is charged with
operating tbe wildcat distillery. Bill

AMERICUS, GEORGIA. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1910
AMERICUS WANTS
REITER TRAIN
JR MACON.
Petition to That Effect is
Signed.
Schedule Desired Would Greatly Im
prove Tiade Conditicns Here—
Macon Merchants Also Ask This
Change of Schedule.
Americus merchants amd< business
men generally signed yesterday a
very lengthy petition addressed to the
Railway Commission of Georgia, re
questing a change in the schedule of
two passenger trains of the Central
Railway which, if granted, will very
greatly improve business conditions
in Americus, it is said. *
The Times-Recorder advanced the
suggested change in an article ap
pearing in its Tuesday’s edition.
This, in substance, is to continue
on to Albany the scheauie of the night
train, which now stops over in Amer
icus, and letting it arrive here at a
more seasonable hour next morning. v
This would afford a local train ar
riving in Americus about 7:00 a. xn.
from Albany, Leesburg, iSraithville and
Sumter, thus permitting the people of
these towns an opportunity to spend
the day here and return to their homes
early in the evening—about 7 o’clock.
At present tbe schedule is a very ob
jectionable one.
To come here now from these towns
they must arrive in Americus at 3:25
o'clock in the early morning, and re
main until after midnight, before re
turning to their homes.
Following i s he’petition signed by'
citizens of Americus:
To the Railroad Commissiioji of
Georgia: We, the undersigned citi
zens and business men of Americus,
Ga., respectfully request your honor
able body to take up with the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway Company tba
advisability of changing the schedule
of trains Numbers 7 and 8, which now
run between Macon and Americus.
We request that you urge the advis
ability of changing the present sched
ule so that trains can run between
Macon and Albany, instead of Ma
con to Americus, and leave Albany not
later than 6:30 a. m. and arrive in
Macon not later than 10:30 a. m.; I
leave Macon at 5:30 p. m. and arrive,
in Americus at 8 p. m.
At present tbe train only run 3 be
tween Macon and Americus. It leaves
Americus at such an early hour aud
arrives in Macon at such an early hour |
that a large majority of th e people
along the line are discommoded, hav
ing to get up and leave their homes
before breakfast.
The night train does not leave Ma
con on the return trip until 8 o’clock
thereby forcing people to remain :n
Macon all day and to reach home far
>n the night and after the usual sup
per hour. The proposed change will
bettersser e the traveling public and
will be greatly appreciated by them.
A copy of this petition ia being
circulated along the line between Ma
con and Albany by the Macon Chamber
of Commerce and numerously signed.

WILLING TO PULL FOR
A FAIR IN SUMTER.
i
Lee Couuty Journal Favors
, Such Movement.
“Will Americas have a fair next
fall ” asks the Lee County Journal in
terestedly. And, moreover, the Jour-'
nal gives many good reasons why
auch a fair should b e htdd in Ameri-j
cus and kindly tenders its efforts for|
the promotion of such an enterprise,'
as strongly advocated by the Times- j
Recorder. '
' * The Journal thus tenders its ap
preciated support:
“Tba good will of the Journal goes
out to the citizens of Sumter who
have the question under consideration.
“Lee county stands.ready to contrib
ute its share toward making the
movement a success. Americus seems
: a logic ad point for the holding of a
fa’r that will attract the support and
aid of several counties in its imme
diate vicinity.
"If the people of Terrell county are
able to support a creditable fair, why
can t the people of Sumter an dneigh
boring counties unite their efforts in
holding a fair in Americus that will
be .helpful and profitable for all con
cerned?
j ‘ Americus 1-3 much nearer and nat
' orally a /better suited place for the
holding of a fair for the people of
this section than is Dawson.
“Here’s wishing success to the ven
ture, if tbe progressive citizens o!
Americus find it wise to launch such
a movement. Lee county’s aid may be
small, but the Journal will do all in
its power to marshal public sentiment 1
for the success of an Americas fair,”
TO DIRECT ALL TRAINS
OUT OF AMERICUS.
Office of Trainmaster Will
Be Brought Here. 1
Americus is again to be made head- <
quarters for the trainmaster of this
division of the Seaboard railway in the •
recent consolidation of divisions of 1
that system. Trainmaster Hurley Is 1 i
to be transferred to Americus from
Savannah, and the movement of all .
trains between Montgomery and (Sa- j
vannah and those operated out of
Columbus will be directed from the
office here. Mr. C. S. Patton, who has
been trainmaster of this division with
headquarters in Savannah, will con- 1
tinue in charge there as trainmaster '
of the north and south lines of the
Seaboard system out of th'at city. Mr.
Hurley’s friends in Americas are glad
that he is to be returned here after
an absence of some length.

THE TROOPS AT BRILL
AGAIN FOR A PRIZE.
Occasion of Interest at Gym
nasium Friday.
Corporal E. L. Croxton was the
: winner in the priz e drill of the Amer
icas Light Infantry at the Young
j Men’s Ci.'x'istian Association gymna
| siam Friday night, and will enjoy the
! foil privileges of the association with
j the compliments of the Board of Di-
I rectors.
The company turned out in full force
and rarely, if ever, has this excellent
drilled body made a finer appearance
than on that night.
Under the command of Capt.
don and Lieutenant Davis, the boys
were put through an extended man
euver of the manual of arms and only
by the employment of f catch-com
mands" were the ranks in anywise
thinned.
The final contest was between Ser
geant Payne and Corporal CrOxto.i
and was so close as to necessitate
reference to the manual to decide a
mere technicality, which' went a3 above
stated to Corporal Croxton.
Preceding this the gymnasium boys
of the association held a spirited con
test in the running high jump, the
running broad! jump, the pull-up and i
the running high dive from the floor. I
in this contest Calloway led, with!
a total of 14 points to his credit, hav
ing taken one first place and three
seconds. Thayer was second, with'two
first places. • Then followed Taylori
with five points, Smith with four and)
Giddings with three. The potato race'
was deferred.
The evening was brought to a fitting
consummation by the rendition of
three most excellent numbers in the
spacious association lobby. Mr. T. D.
Mathews sang most effectively “Meet
Me in Dreamland," accompanied by
Miss Lupo, upon the piano.
Miss Florence Niles then gave one
of her ever popular violin solos, ac
companied by Miss Rebecca Mathis,
and Miss Floyd Fort read “When
Genius AVoke,” by Elliott Flower.
Delicious fruit punch was served by
Mrs. Jas. Taylor, assisted by the
Misses Josep, Misses Cobb, Misses Ba- !
rum and Miss Gunn.

( INTEREST GREAT
’ AMONG THE
FARMERS.
Corn Contest on Saturday a
Great Success.
One Hundred Sumter County Farmers
Competed With Their Best Corn
For the Handsome Cash Prizes
That Were Offered.
The -Seed Corn Contest beld at the
court house on yesterday was a great
success. One hundred farmers sub
mitted corn for the three prizes offer
ed. There were also exhibits of fine
cotton, potatoes. Stalks of corn, vel
vet beans and syrup.
The exhibit had l the appearance of
a fair. Though all of the contestants
could not win, yet all of them had an
opportunity to see each other’s corn
and to secure better seed from those
who had better than theirs.
Mr. E. Gentry, of tbe [J. IS. Depart
ment of Agriculture, and an expert in
corn judging, said that the exhibit was
the best he had ever seen in any coun
ty fair.
This speaks exceedingly well for
Sumter county.
There were about five hundred far
mers and business men who witness
ed the exhibit and many of them de
clared L.'at they did not know that
Sumter had such corn.
The following are the prize win
ners:
David Wicker, Americas—. First
prize, $25.00.
■S. H. Edge, Americus—.Second priz*\
! $15.00.
d. H. Wood, Andersonville.—Third
prize, SIO.OO.
Mr. J. R.'Jordan,"of Schley county,
also had an exhibit of ten ears which
the judge said was the best exhibit
presented, tout due to tbe fact that the
contest was for Sumter county, has
corn was excluded.
Several Schley county farmers had
corn on hand which bespoke for them
progress in corn growing. All of the
winners of prizes in the contest were
Sumter county farmers.
An impression got out that a Schley
county man got the first prize and
i created a bit of dissatisfaction, and
I it was decided that bis was the best
presented, but his residence in
.Schley county made him ineligible.
Mr. Gentry's talk on seed selection
j was an eye-apener to those present,
and was greatly enjoyed.
I A county fair for next year was dia
! cussed and it became evident that j
| should a fair be held another year it
| will rival any county fair in the state.
! The farmers seemed very much in
terested in it and wanted to Dave an
1 interest in getting it on foot.
