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.

It White and Gold China IN OPEN STOCK. THOS. L. BELL, THE LEADING JEWELER. 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. COM.

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.

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.

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. WHERE THE PEOPLffOF AMERICUS MAY WORSHIP. Tiie Services at the Varus Churches To-day.
