War lick Bros. CO., Lamar Street. AMERICUS. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 28, 1911 NEW DORMITORY AT AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE PROBABLY READY IN FALL Will Almost Double the Accommodations for Students At That Progressive Institution The second dormitory at the Agri cultural College, that is so much needed to meet the ever increasing demands for quarters for students, and that was provided for in the original plans of the institution, but not erect ed on account of lack of funds, will in all likelihood, be built this sum mer and be in readiness to accommo date students when the Third Dis trict boys pour in next fall. The college* has been overtaxed for two years now. It has been easily the most popular and most progres s?ve of all the district colleges in the state. This year many boys were turned away for lack of accommoda tions, and it was evident if the news had gone out that there were rooms available that fifty to seventy-five more boys would have applied for admis-1 sion—perhaps even a hundred. It has now been determined to push the work of securing funds for the second dormitory. Col. Crawford Wheatley, who has been one of the staunchest friends arid most active workers for the college since the idea of locating it at Americas was first broached, has assumed charge of the movement and is highly gratified with the prospects. At the coming meet ing of the Board of Trustees, early in May, the enthusiastic support ts those gentlemen, representing every county in the Third District, will be enlisted and an impetus given to the movement that will speedily ensure the contract for the dormitory and its erection during the summer months. The exterior plans for the building have been prepared. They show a very handsome structure, one that would be a noble adornment to the WILL TELL OF BOOKS GRANDMOTHER READ Mrs. Taylor Will Talk About Old-fashioned Books This afternoon at the Carnegie Li brary Mrs. Lucy C. Taylor, the libra- 1 rian, will tell the little folks about 1 the wonderful old books that our t grandmothers used to read in addition 1 io a number of bright and interesting 1 fairy tales. < While at the meeting of the libra- ( rians of the state in (Athens recently, Mrs. Taylor heard a lecture on this ; subject which was so interesting and c instructive that she decided to tell 1 the story in a simple manner to the young people at the story hour this ; afternoon. Needless to say. grand mothers’ books weren’t like the < books we have today, and that is j what the story will he about. Beginning with the time when print- j ing was first invented and ail type were carved on huge wooden blocks, : Mrs. Taylor will tell about the queer books made then and how later the “horn books” were made by our New England forefathers, as well as many other interesting kinds of books that /most little folks haven’t heard of before. It is hoped that the weather will be fine, though, if it isn’t, the children will have warm, dry quarters waiting for them at the library, where they can hear the stories in comfort. Don t forget that the story hour is 3:30 o’clock. GAME OF BALL TODAY ON DUDLEY DIAMOND Gordele Club Will Tackle tbe Aggy Boys Today there - will be sport for the local lovers of baseball, and Dudley Field promises to be the scene of a lively struggle when the Agricultural College team and the Cordelinns go up against each other there. These two teams are great rivals and both have been practicing recent ly, preparing for today’s game. The locals have strengihened up consider ably, and the line-up today will be an exceptionally strong one, as follows: Terrell Fort, p.; Johnson, c.; Rain ey, 1/b., House, 2b.; H. Howard, 3b ; Wilkes, ss.; Drood, rs.; Groover, cf.; Causey, if. I The interest in the contest is intense land a large crowd should be present when the umpire calls “Play ball!"

Already there is practically $5,000 in sight, of about one-half of ! the money needed. Four thousand leash is in the treasury, SI,OOO can be ' saved from the income this year, and ! all that is needed is to raise $5,000 to insure sufficient money in hand to pay for the structure. This would mean but a comparatively small sum for each county to subscribe. Down |at Oordele the other day, Col. Wtoeat j ley talked with several parties and received a generous response. Amer icus, of course, will do its share, as will Sumter county as a whole. In deed, there is no reason to believe that any county will fall down in meeting this obligation. AVith the second dormitory building ready the school will accommodate ! next year over two hundred boys and , girls. The work done toy the college jhere has attracted widespread atten tion and it has become one of the most potent advertisements that Americas and Sumter county have. Agricultu ral educators from several states -have visited the college here, drawn by the reports of the work done at the col lege, and have gone away enthusias tic in their praises. As far as -Maine on the North and /Arkansas to the West, the reputation of the Third Dis trict College has extended, carrying with it an advertisement for this city and county. What it will be in that line -when the new dormitory is erected and the student body greatly increased must be apparent to every one. Col. AVheatley is to be praised for the determination he has shown to meet the need-s of the college, and the '.trier trustees, as well, for the sympa thetic support they are giving in this movement. RODDERS IN BIG AUTO MAKE SWIPE OF $25,000 Bold Robbery of Jewelry Store in Chicago Chicago, April 27.—Four armed rob bers held up the jewelry store of Ed ward Alberti in Milwaukee avenue in the Northwest Side business quarter, forced Alberti and his clerks into a hack room and robbed the store of diamonds and watches valued at $25,- 000. The men then drove away in an automobile, just as a patrol wagon fuil of policemen summoned by a passer by, drove up to the store. Visitors, including customers ana N’orman Strauss, who entered the store while the robbers were at work, were ordered into the back room at the P int of a pistol, robbed and tied up with Alberti and the clerks. Strauss’ sample case added $2,000 to the loot. In all nine persons were tied in the room when the police arrived. FIREMEN HAI) LON GRI N; RESPONSE TO FAKE ALARM Looks Like a Piece of Malicious Mis chief. Responding to an alarm telephoned in, they were told, from the ISawyer residence out Elm avenue, the fire de partment had a long and needless run last night. There was no fire at the Sawyer home, nor had the alarm been sent from there. It looks as though the firemen were buncoed by some practical joker. Did You Ever Stop to Reason it Out? How many friends of yours wear ready-to-wear clothes made by Stein- Bloch? We know that a good many of them do. DO YOU? You ought to. You cannot give a single valid reason why you ought not to, as far as fit, as style, workmanship and above all, val ue is concerned. All these things enter into your clothes problem. Stop to reason it out and stop in to try on a fresh new Stein-Bloch suit. RYLANDER SHOE CO., Clothers and Furnishers. PREPARE FOR PEACE BUT STICK TO GUNS One General Was Planning for Oattle Despite Truce Chihuahua City, April 26, via Date do, Texas, April 27.—As soon as plans for an armistice were announced here all telegraphic and railroad commu nication with Shihuahua City were cut off and the general public was led to believe that peace was in sight, tout the activities of the federal troops were anything but peaceful. Rush orders came from Mexico City to have the railroad to Juarez put through without delay and Gen. Rabago’s forces were put in readi ness to move. The suggestion it first was made that if repairs on the railroad were attempted the insur rectos would interfere, as the insnr rectors already had kept the road out of commission for more than three months. The answer came to have the workmen protected by troops. -What will develop when the federal troops, fully equipped with field guns and ammunition for a long siege, reach the outposts of Gen. Madero’s forces is looked upon with great in terest. It is said when Rabago gets into the neighborhood of Madero, the gov ernment will toe in a position to show a less amiable attitude toward the iti -surre-ctos. The situation in the inte rior grows daily more grave.
