AMERICUS. GEORGIA. THURSDAY MORNING JULY 6, 1911.
BANQUET FITTING CLOSE
TO LIVELY JULY FOURTH
Large and Representative
Was the Attendance
Carried out in a manner that made
it a complete success in every way,
the annual banquet of the Board of
'Trade Tuesday evening was a fitting
I close to the most notable celebration
|of the Fourth of July that Americus
| has ever known.
The attendance at the banquet was
! large and representative, the total
I number of guests present totaling
more than 150. The scene in the din
ing hall at the Hotel Windsor, when
Jail the guests had assembled, was one
lof surpassing animation and bril
j liancy.
In harmony with the spirit of the
! day, the dining hall was appropriately
I decorated with a profusion of large
I and small American flags, while fes
j toons of red, white and blue adorned
j the chandeliers. So numerous were j
ithe banqueters that the large hail was
comfortably filled.
The serving of the elegant menu was
carried out with neatness and dis
patch, and the number of guests were
served in most effective and acceptable
manner. Many congratulations are
due the management of the Windsor
Hotel for the great success of the oc
casion in the manner in which the
banquet was arranged and served.
Before taking up the list of speak
ers, Toastmaster Crawford Wheatley,
who was never in more jovial and
happy mood to serve in that capacity,
read a number of congratulatory
messages that had been received from
prominent men throughout Georgia
and the entire nation on account of
the notable Fourth of July celebration j
here. Every speaker was introduced!
in most happy and appropriate man-1
ner by the toastmaster, who did the!
honors of his position in a manner
that added very largely to the sue- \
cess of the occasion.
In the absence of Mayor Mathis, who!
was called away on account of ill
ness in his family, Mr. W. T. Lane re
sponded in an appropriate speech to I
the toast, “Americus.” Judge Arthur
;G. Powell, of thq Court of Appeals, '
was at home in speaking of the pres
tige of (South Georgia in the affairs of
the state. Tributes to the aggressive
ness of both Sumter county and South-
western Georgia were paid by Mr. H.
A. Tarver, of Albany, who spoke of
“T.he Andersonville - Thomasvilie
Route.”
Mr. J. Hansell Merrill, of Thomas
ville, was a true representative of
Thomas county and that section of the
state in discussing good roads in Geor
gia. In typical manner Mr. John A.
Davis, of Albany, responded to the
toast, 'iSumter County,” without do
ing violence to his staunch allegiance
to Albany and Dougherty county. Mr.
Dupont Guerry, of Macon, paid tribute
to “Georgia, the Empire State of the
South,” with special reference to Sum
ter county. No more suitable subject
could have been assigned to Mr. E. A.
N'isbet than “Peaches (of all varie
ties),” and he handled his theme in
inimitable manor. Rev. O. B. Chester
and Rev. J. W. Stokes delivered the
invocation and closing remarks, res
pectively, in most pleasing style.
’ To President Crawford Wheatley and
Secretary Clarence J. White, of the
Board of Trade; Mr. Frank P. Harrold,
chairman of the entertainment com
mittee; Mr. G. S. Gardner, chairman
of the special 'advertising committee,
and to the many others who labored
so faithfully foi’ the success of the
banquet, are due the most cordial rec
ognition and thanks for their persist
ent and untiring efforts. The co-oper
ation of every citizen has been most
gratifying in assuring the continued
success of th,e Board of Trade and ev
ery worthy public movement.

Local fans must wait a little bit for
their next instalment of baseball, as
the Champs have been unable to <tnd
a team that could cope with them.
There will hardly be a game before

has been organized for the season.

RYLANDER SHOE CO.,
GUNNERS WIN PRIZES IN
BIG SHOOT ON FOORTH
Event the Best Ever Attempt-
Here
While The grand prize in the trap
shooting contest here Tuesday was
won by an Atlantan, one of the score
of out-of-town contestants, local gun
ners are well pleased at the success
attending the event, especially as many
of the other prizes and purses as well
were won by home talent.
There were contestants,
and not until early nightfall w r ere the
several events completed and the
awards made the winners.
The principal event was the fifteen
bird event, in which all the crack
shots pacticipated. In this, Mr. P. C.
Townsend led all others with 143 birds
killed in 150 shots.
As the second prize in this contest,
the silver loving cup given by Mr. £j
A. Daniels, the jeweler, Mr. J. W.
Hightower was winner with 142 birds
out of a possible 150. Mr. Smithwick
won the fine portiers given by the Alli
son Furniture Company as the third
prize.
Many lesser prizes and purses were
also distributed.
It is a source of regret that the of
ficial score and a complete, detailed
account of the contest cannot be giv
en by The Times-Recorder, but. un
fortunately, the score card was given
to a traveling representative of a pow
der concern who could not be revealed
later. Without this official score, fig
ures cannot be had.
Many citizens, very naturally, are
interested in the result, and this ex
planation is due them, as well as mem
bers of the Gun Club.
One contest of especial interest in
the amateur class was that tor the
purse of $25, in which there were
numerous entries. In this, the score
was very close between Messrs. G. U.
Wheatley and Willis Hawkins, the
former winning.
