AMERICUS. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING JULY 7, 1911
SHRINEKS ARE GOING IN
FORCE 10 ROCHESTER
" ■
Americus Fez Wearers Rally
For the Trip
*
Americus Shriners, ye Nobles )f
! Alee Temple, are enthusiastic over the
proposed trip to Rochester, X. Y.,
where many knights of Che red fez
and clawhammer will attend the an
nual convention of the Imperial Coun
cil on July 11th, 12th and 13th. Most
of the local delegation attending will
go tomorrow morning over the Ceil
tral.
The party will arrive in Atlanta at
1:20 o’clock that afternoon and join
ed by the Atlanta Xobles will leave
over the Louisville and Nashville for
1 Cincinnati at 5 o’clock. It is expect
ed that the number will be augment
i ed at the Capital City by some forty
or fifty members.
The train will arrive in Rochester
'at 6:30 Monday morning, stopping
over one day in Cincinnati to allow
the Xobles to see the city, and they
may travel from Buffalo to the con
vention with the delegation from tile
temples in Buffalo.
The train itself will be made up of
two or more standard Pullman sleep
ers, a combination baggage and
smoking car and a diner, and ar
rangements have been made to park
the sleeping cars in Rochester, so that
the delegates who so wish may sleep
in the cars during the stay at the
convention.
The occasion of the pilgrimage to
Rochester is the gathering of tho
Xobles in their Imperial Council,
which is called to not only bring the
Arabs together for a jollification, but
to transact the legislative business of
the order for the year.
This business is that relative to the:
establishment of temples, regulating:
• ihe jurisdiction of the temples, the ad-j
| justment of any differences between
-the various temples as to their rights
and jurisdiction, etc.
The convention is the big affair of
the Shriners, and will draw to Roch
ester between '50,000 and 100,000 mem
bers from all corners of the country.
The meeting of last year, held at Xew
Orleans, brought together 80,000, and
that of the year before attracted 77,-
000. It is said that the numbers at
Rochester will rival, if not exceed,
these figures.
The members of the temples from
Georgia and the other Southern states
are much interested in the candidacy
of E. A. Cutts, of Savannah, who :3
slated for the post of imperial outer
guard. All of the delegates from this
section of the country are pulling for
him strong, and it is thought that in
all probability he will be selected at
the convention.
Mr. Cutts was reared in Americas,
and his many friends here among the
Shriners are interested in his elec
tion to the position sought.
AMERICUS SHOULO HAVE
A SPLENDID BRASS BAND
Such is Consensus of Opinion
Here
Will Americus have a brass band
i before the next Fourth of July comes?
i That is a question that has been on
I the tongues of many since the cele
jbration of the recent Fourth of July
| brought so closely to public notic
I the fact, that Americus has no such
organization, though the need of it lsj
so great.
Many citizens have been discussing
the need of a brass band, as there are
frequent occasions in the present rap
id growth of the city for the use of
such an organization. It has been
pointed out that the band at the Ag
ricultural College is readily availa
ble during the school term of that In
stitution, but that this leaves an im
portant period of more than three
months during the vacation period
when this band cann/it be obtained.
The interest and enthusiasm that
is aroused by a brass band, especial
ly in the celebration of the Fourth
of July, as was shown at the recent,
holiday, is indispensable and most
valuable. As it is the intention of
the Board of Trade and the people of
Americus to make every future Fourth
of July an even greater than the last,
the need of a band is seen to be Im
perative.
Other cities smaller than Americus,
such as Shellntan and Moultrie, have
organized and are maintaining bands
that not only do credit to them but
also are eagerly sought by the larger
cities on holiday occasions. Some ef
fort will be made to organize a band
at an early date.
It takes a bigger man to let a woman
boss him than to boss her.

Board of Trade Will Work to Make
Permanent Live Fourth For This
Section. Prominent Citizens Ex
press Gratification at Great Suc
cess of Holiday.
Every Fourth of July in the fu
ture will be a big day in Americus,
for the Board of Trade and people of
Americus have gone on record by the
earnest stipport they gave the recent
celebration as being in favor of such
a course.
Nothing but the highest words of
praise have been heard on all sides
| for the splendid manner in which the
recent holiday was observed here. The
I day was widely advertised and large
j numbers of visitors were present from
I this entire section of the state. The
celebration of the Fourth in Ameri
cus sprang into being full grown, as
it were, and everybody in Americus
is happy as the result of it.
In order to show appreciation of
the support of the people of Americus,
| Sumter county and this entire section
in this great campaign of publicity
and upbuilding of the city, inter
views have been obtained from some
of the leaders in the movement 10

sane Fourth of July.
Earned Out to the Letter.
President Crawford Wheatley, of
the Board of Trade, w’as enthusiastic;
over the great success that attended
the celebration of the Fourth of July
here and expressed an earnest de
sire that such an appropriate celebra- j
tion of the day should be made per
manent. In this connection he gave
the following interview to The Times-
Recorder:
“To the Americus Board of Trade be
longs the credit of having inaugurat
ed within our city the celebration of i
a safe and sane Fourth of July. From
the crack of the first gun over the j
traps at the Country Club until the j
benedicition was pronounced at the j
banquet of the Board of Trade that j
evening the program as originally j
outlined by the Board of Trade, was |
carried out to the letter.
“The advertisement which our city i
receivecT'from the sucessful termina- j
tion of the many events planned for
that day will undoubtedly be as great
benefit to us. I sincerely hope that
this, our initial undertaking in this
connection, will serve as an incen
tive for a more general observance
of the day throughout this entire sec
tion in the future.”
A Rig Fourth Every Year.
Mr. Clarence J. White, secretary of
the Board of Trade, expressed his sat

day in the following words:
“The entire day was a big success
and I hope that It will be the be

doing and a big time in Americus on
July Fourth.
“I feel very much pleased at the
great success of the Booster Ban

gotten together in this city. The
speeches were charming and enlight
ening.”

In praise of the great success that

TRIAL OF INTEREST IS
BEGUN IN CITY COURT
Damage Suit For $20,000 in
Progress
A case of considerable local interest
; is on trial in the City Court of Amer
icus before Judge Z. A. Littlejohn,
. presiding for judge J. A. Ilixon,
, wherein the plaintiff, Mr. James I.
: Clawson, has instituted suit to re
i cover against the Bell Telephone
Company in the sum of $20,000.
The case was entered upon yester
day morning and consumed the day, a
conclusion not having been reached at
: a late hour.
The case is familiar to the public
here, having come up once before in
City Court before Judge Charles It.
Crisp, who sustained the demurrer
filed by the defendant company, an
appeal was then taken.
The Court of Appeals granted a
trial of the case, which was entered
upon yesterday.
Mr. Glawson alleges that the de
fendant company was negligent upon
the occasion of his deceased wife's
critical illness. He alleged that he
| made urgent attempt from his home
| ;n the country to call a physician in
Americus, but could not get connec
tion, despite his every effort to co
| so.
| His wife passed away ere the phy
sician, summoned by messenger, could
reach his home, hence the plea as set
up by him.
This, in substance, is the case on
