“Having so MviU line
is Such an Advantage”
Yes, and it costs very
little more than the party
line.
You can recall the
times when you wished
to make a pressing call
and the line has been in
use by another party.
The people who call
you often must doubtless
wait for the very same
reason.
Telephone service is
convenient, but an indi
vidual line is ultra-con
venient; it is ready to
serve you whenever you
want.
Its cost is just a trifle
more than you are now
paying. Call the Con
tract Office and learn the
exact rate.

Leonardo De Vizeo. Michele Grasiano.
Michele Grasiano, an ex-convict, was caught with this bomb in a suit
ease in New York’s $8,000,000 municipal building the other day. Leon
ardo De Vizeo, another ex-convict, was arrested later as his partner.
It is charged by the police that Blackhanders had a plot to blow up
public buildings. Their purpose wa? to prove to the victims of their black
mail—ltalian bankers and merchants—that they could defy the police.
An expert who examined the bomb said it was strong enough to rock the
building.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
It’s Make No
Difference As
Back Again
They just simply can’t stay away
from Americus, it seems. . Just how
many times have you seen a person
leave Americus and stay away? We
venture the assertion that you can
count the occasions on your finger tips.
But we’ve more proof to bac kour as
sertion.
Many residents of Americus will
recall an industrious Syrian, Mike
Thomas by name, who formerly ran a
grocery and drug store in the place
now occupied by Nassar Brothers.
Well,, our proof is that once more has
'this same Mike Thomas come to Amer
'icus and in the building formerly oc
cupied by the Brown Grocery Co., will
open a modern confectionery, grocery
and fruit store. The many /riends
Mike made while here several years
ago will welcome him back io this city.
BOSTON OPERA CO.

ATLANTA, Feb. 5. —A big musical
and social event will be the appearance
next week here of the Boston Opera
company in an engagement of three
performances at the Atlanta theatre
Friday, February 18 and Saturbay Feb
ruary 19.
The Boston company brings with it
the full Pavlowa Russian ballet so that
it is in every sense a big double at
traction of the first order.
Among the opera stars will be Ric
cardo Martin, who has been heard in
the south before only with the Metro
politan .and the famous baritone Zen
atelle. The company will present ‘‘The
Love of the Three Kings” Friday night,
"Madame Butterfly,” with the new
Japanese prima dona Saturday mat
inee, and "La Boheme” Saturday night.
ALBANY TIKECORNT
111 ATHLETIG MEET
The athletic carnival at the Y. M. C.
A. Friday night was just about the
biggest thing in. the line of sports held
in Americus in many a day. The youth
ful athetes went after each other with
all the frills left out; and when the end
came the bunch of lads who had been
spreading the countenances of their
rivals all over the gymnasium were a
tired lot.
The athletes from Dougherty sur
prised the locals with the strength
they displayed and the manner In
which they went after the issue in
hand. But the Americus boys need not
feel bad over being defeated by such an
aggregation, the Albany boys had been
preparing for the contest longer than
Lad the Sumter lads and were in better
physincal trim.
In the mat events the two teams
were extremely good and the fight
Americus displayed in this particular
line was fierce. The final outsome of
the mat work was a hard tie; and the
Americus boys are to be congratulated
upon the skill shown in the different
stunts they went through.
The relay race was another tied up
affair—the two teams were very evenly
matched in this event and the result
ing tie was a foregone conclusion.
But Americus was defeated in the
basket ball game and the wining of
this event entitled the Albany boys to
their claim of the victory. But, again
did the local lads show the fight that
made their names famous in the annals
of juvenile athletics. The odds were
badly against them, but when the ref
eree blew his whistle for the gme to
begin, the people present knew that
Americus would ‘‘give ’em tch cotton.”
And the final outcome justified that be
lief, because that game of basket ball
was by long odds the most exciting
ever held on the Y. M. C. A. court.
When the smoke of battle had lilted the
/score was 15 to 12 in Albany's favor,
but the Americus boys gave them the
scrap of their lives. The entire Albany
team played stellear ball during the
entire gabe, but the work of Richard!
Tift was exceptionally good. The
brightest constellation in the local
line-up were Frank Harrold and James
Davenport.
After the series of games the ath
letes adjourned to the Frank Harrold
-home on College street, where a com
bination dance and prom, party was
given by the High school set in their
honor.
The members of the Albany team
were Dan Moseley, captain; Holcombe
arver, Foster Floyd, Tom Malone. John
Brosnan, Henry Floyd, John Darby,
Dan Brosnan, Richard Tift and Wade
Hester.
The Americus athletes were: Frank
Harrold, Jr., captain; Charles Duna
way; Charles Lanier; Henry Allen:
Winifred Peters; Rufus Godwin; Ralph |
Rodgers; W. G. Turpin, Jr.; John
Gray and Lauren Chambliss.
DAIRYMAN GETS A
VEBDICTJGAINST RICH
MINEOLA, L. 1., Feb. s—Michael
Killilea, a dairyman, today recovered a
judgement for $20,000 against J. P.
Morgan in the supreme court. Killi
lea, was in the employe of Mr. Morgan
and sustained injuries on the night of
July 13 last, which since resulted in
his being totally blind.
Killilea was injured when his bi
cycle struck a rope which had been
stretched across a bridge by orders of
Morgan, to prevent motorists ap
proaching his grounds. The accident
occurred shortly after Frank Holt, the
anarchist, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to assassinate Morgan, at his
home in Gies Cove.
Evidence introduced by the plaintiff
at the trial was to the effect that since
the accident he had been totally blind,
and physicians testified this condition
v,ould continue indefinitely. The jury
deliberated only a brief while before
awarding Killilea damages in the
sum above stated.

MORAL OF SKATING
IS POINTED OUT
In many of the amusements of to
day there is too much of an element
ot chance and a strong desire to win.
People who really know better, do
sometimes quarrel over a game of
cards, croquet, lawn tennis, dominoes,
or some other game, while about the
only element of chance there is in
skating as indulged by the general
public is the chance of falling, and
very often quite enough of this element
to make it interesting. As for disputes,
there are no occasions for them.
Bishop MyTyier, in a letter to the
Christian Advocate, writes: Allow me
to commend to you and yours roller
skating, ft can and should substituta
dancing as an exercise and amuse
ment for the young people of both
sexes. It furnishes indoor, lively,
graceful exercise, both muscular and
nervous excitement, and leaves no ex
cuse fnr dancing. I wish there was
a skating rink in every village and
boarding school. Since the writing of
this le’ter his wish has been nearly, if
not quite fully realized, and not only
the young people, but the older ones,
fathers and mothers, are learning and
enjoying the splendid privileges, to
which the invention of the roller skate
Jias brought us. We quote again from
the Ladies Boudoir. “As a fashionable
exercise for ladies, there is nothing so
well adapted to the development and
display of a fine figure as roller skat
ing; and in no way can a lady present
equal elegance and grace as when cir
cling about on skates. The accom
plishment is becoming a very import
ant part of every young lady’s educa
tion.
The Y. M. C. A. will have a masked
carnival on next Thursday night, Feb
ruary 10th.
Great Increase
In Accidents
For London
LONDON, Feb. s.—When the full
statistics so the metropolitan area of
London are completed, an enormous in
crease in deaths from street accidents
will be noted, perhaps as much as fifty
per cent, over 1913, the year before
the streets were darkened. In 1913
there were 597 fatalities due to street
traffic. The darkening of streets in
the latter part of 1914 raised these
figures to 637, and it is expected that
1915 will show more than 800.
