Wariick Bros. CO., Lamar Street. AMERICUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY MORNING APRIL 29, 1911 PLANS ABE OFFERED TO MAKE AMERICUS A TOURISTS’ CENTER Central of Georgia Offers to Cooperate -Only Golf Links are Needed to Supplement Hotel Facilities—Board of Trade to Secure Publicity. Americus will yet become a center tor tourists. Plans are now under cnosideration for the accomplishment of this end. While Assistant General Ticket Agent F. G. Robinson and District Passenger lAgent John W. Blount, of the Central of Georgia, were in the ■ city yesterday, they were taken out to see the Country Club and the golt links by Messrs. Crawford Wheatley i and Clarence J. White, president and 1 secretary of the Board of Trade. It is the purpose of Mr. Robinson, if the Country Club will enlarge the golf links and place them in first class condition, to insert photographs of the links and the Windsor hotel ia the next tourist book that is issued by the railway. Good hotel facilities and golf links are absolute necessities to attract tourists. “Local hotel facilities are excellent,” said Mr. Robinson in speaking of the plan to furnish publicity to Americus in the campaign to attract tourists. ‘There is no better hotel in the state than the one in Americus, which is still being improved. “It is necessary, however, in order to attract tourists in any number to have ready for them first class links in order that they may secure the out of-door recreation that they desire. The Country Club is as neat and at PRESIDENT DIAZ MUST NOT SERVE This Will Be Proposition for Peace Commissioners El Paso, Texas., April 28.—When the official peace commissioners, as yet unnamed, get together here, it is probable that there will be at least one difficult matter left for them to settle if they can, and that is the length of time President Diaz is to re tain his seat after hostilities cease. General Madero at first proclaimed that Diaz must resign at once, bat later stated that he would not insist on the president’s immediate retire r> ent. It is known privately, however, that he informed members of his family that neither he nor his under officers could consent to the presi dent filling out his present term, which has five years more to run. Extends Armistice. El Paso, Texas, April 28.—Fran cisco 1. Madero today agreed to an extension of the armistice for another five days, while peace is discussed. Mexico City has already agreed to the extension. M’NAMARA ASKS PUBLIC TO SUSPEND JUDGMENT Issues Statement in Which He Asserts His innocence I.os Angelas, April 28.—. John ). McNamara, secre'ary and treasurer of the Internatlqjnal Bridge and Structural Ironworkers’ Association gave his first authorized statement as to his arrest to the Associated Press today. The statement follows: "To the Brotherhood of Organized Labor in California and the United States: “In this second attempt to crush and discredit the cause we represent, I realize fully the desperation of the enemies of labor arrayed against us, hut I am of good heart, for it will fail. “That I am innocent of any infract tion of the law, in word or act, needs no emphasis from me, for the truth is mighty, and will prevail right speedily; and for it I shall contented ly wait. “I send to all brothers and friends of union labor, the world over, my earnest and affectionate greetings, with the assurance that there is no villany or conspiracy possible of which we are afraid. “I am also confident that it is not asking too much of the public to sus pend judgment in these matters until opportunity for a full and fair de fense has been afforded.

This will make the longest program the man agement of the new theatre has put on. The two Western pictures are the best that, have been released in a long time. The entire performance will last for more than an hour. Ad mission 10c and 15c. i tractive a club house as could be de sired, while all the ground necessary 1 for enlarged golf links seems to be I available. J “We will take pleasure in inserting j photographs and short reading no tices of the hotel and golf links in our forthcoming tourists’ publication, if the golf links are made available. The hotel facilities alone are not suf ficient, as tourists demand golf links for recreation. As it is often difficult in the smaller cities for golf enthus iasts to have a competent instructor, we are willing to endeavor to have some one to come to Americus from (Savannah for perhaps a week’s stay m ! order to instruct those members of the club who wish to learn golf.” The matter of fulfilling the condi tions named by the railroad company so that Americus may be given a defi nite place on the tourists’ map has been taken under consideration by the Board of Trade, which hopes to secure such co-operation from those concern ed as will insure the success of the movement. Americus and iSumter county have as excellent roads as any tourists can demand. It is only neces sary that the other condition be met in order to gain the publicity offered by the Central of Georgia. The necessity of advertising Ameri cus is felt all the more in the light of recent developments as regards the highway question, dt is believed that , Americus by gaining this publicity may obtain not only the tourists who come by the new highway, but also those who travel by the National Highway. SENATE ORGANIZED AND READY FOR BUSINESS List of Committees of Both Parties Adopted Washington, April 28. —The senate formally organized for business to day by adopting the list of appoint ments to committees drawn up by the majority of both parties. The ex pected fight against the adoption of the lists threatened hv the progres sive republicans did not develop. Senator F>aFollette contented himself by reading a formal protest against the selections made by the regular republicans. The I-aFollette statement, which was prepared at a conference of the thirteen insurgents, Senator Kenyon the new senator from Oiwa, having joined the original twelve, set forth at some length the growth of the so called progressive movement in the republican party. It asserted that the progressive republicans entertain marked and well-defined iwifferenccs of opinion with the regulars; that the progressives have more than one fourth of the republican membership in the senate and they have become a “settled and established factor in political history.” Beginning with Saturday, April 20, and continuing during the summer months, we will close our freight ware house at noon each Saturday, by au thoj ity of Railroad Commission of Georgia.
