KILLING MEAT IND
MOVING BASEBALL
This recent warm weather around
Americus has accomplished two
things at any rate. The first thing it
accomplished was to destrop quite an
'amount of meat killed during the last
ccdd snap. The second accomplishment
was to start the baseball bug buzzing
around the two schools in the city and I
the busy insect is busy in even the
hearts of the Americus business men.
The prospect for the two school
teaams is excellent indeed. The Ag
(gie bunch begins active practice on
February 14th and the presence of
several veteran players in the school
insures the institution a good team.
Glenn Colby will again have charge of
the squad and he is very optimistic
over the Aggies’ chances to procure a
championship team. The following
men have had one or more years ex
perience on the earn: Kezar,
Swinson, English, Dorman, Williams
and Clare.
Over at the Americus High school
the students are not at all pessimistic
over their prospects for a winner.
While only two of last year’s squad
are in school several have entered
since the opening of the term and
their fame on the diamond preceded
them. Prof. Hoslt will have charge
cf the team and the system in vogue
among the schools of the North in
athletics will be used by him to de
velop the team. Bolton and Mathis
are three year men. Johnson, Brown
find Harrold are the three new men
almost certain to secure a 'berth on
the regular team.
YOUNG MAN HAS
LEG SMPUTATEO
News was received in Americus
Saturday that John Brown, the young
may who had his foot mashed while
coupling cars on the Seaboard Rail
way at Fort Davis Friday, had to have
his foot amputated in Montgomery,
where he had been taken immediately
after the accident.
The attending physicians at first
thought the young man would escape
the surgeon’s knife, but Friday night
blood-poisoning threatened and the
amputation was thought to be neces-.
shry. Mr. Brown is very well-known
in Americus and the accident which
caused him to lose pne of his feet is
yery much regretted here by his large
number of friends.
HENPECKED HENRY
Dull care will have no place at ha
Opera House next Monday afternoon
and night, when Halton Powell’s fam
ous musical comedy “Henpecked
eHnry’’ will hold forth one night only.
It depicts certain phases of married
life in a most original manner, but at
no time does it overstep the line of
refinement.
Henry Bowser, a retired banker
from Kalamazoo, Mich., visits Chicago
with his daughter and domineering
.wife. Henry is a gay blade when
wifey is not looking and much to his
joy starts a flirtation with a celebrat
ed vaudeville comedienne who is liv
ing in the same hotel. His attentions
to the actress and her numerous as
sistants arouse the jealousy of his
wife who watches him with the eye of
a hawk. While the parents are thus
busily engaged the daughter falls
desperately in love with an impecun
ious young college chap. A sudden
turn in the situation causes Henry’s
wife to order him to make love to the
actress. He obeys so well that she re
nounces him and turns the play into
mock tragedy. The incidental music
and song numbers are of the light
whistly kind and a most capable com
pany of farceurs, singers, dancers and
beautiful girls make up the personnel
of the presenting cast.

Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered From All Spheres
NEW YORK, Feb. 12. —If Norman S.
Tabor listens to the call of his former
trainer, the holder of the world’s rec
ord for the mile for the mile will make
another attack upon running records
during the coming summer. Ed O’Con
nor, former Brown University trainer,
who prepared Tabor for his success
ful race at the Harvard stadium on
July 16, 1915, when he made new fig
ures for the mile, is anxious that Ta
bor take a try at ther three-quarter
mile record. O’Connor is confident
that the former Brown and Oxford,
Eng., University runner can easily low
er the time now found against this
• event in he record books.
Tabor has a remarkable record as a
middle distance runner both in this
country and in England where he
.studied at Oxford University as a
Rhodes scholar. He was a pace maker
for John Paul Jones, of Cornell, when
the latter lowered the one mile ama
teur record at the Intercollegiate
games in 1913. After running a deal
heat with Jones in the mile event the
year previous. In 1914 he was a mem
ber of the Oxford University four mile
relay team which defeated the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania team in the
sensational event of the Pennsylvania
relay carnival. In that event the first
three relays ran comparatively even
and Jackson of Oxford and McCurdy of
Pennsylvania finished the final mile
vzith less than a foot lead for the
English runner. Last year Tabor sur
passed all his previous efforts when
he ran a special paced mile under A.
A U. sanction in 4.12 3-5 esablishing
a new world’s record in both amateur,
i
and professional divisions.
Now O’Connor believes that Tabor,
can lower the three-quarter mile rec
ord as well and the trainer’s conten
tion appears to be well supported by
Tabor’s performances in the past. The
three-quarter mile, which is equivalent
to 1,320 yards, is an unusual racing
istance and there have been attempts
made for the record in this event in
recent years. The Late Tommy Con
neff made the outdoor amateur record
on August 21, 1896, when he ran the
distance in 3.02 4-5. The indoor rec
ord is held by J. P. Driscoll who hung
up 3.07 at Buffalo. March 15, 1913. The
professional record dates back to June
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
called on for several speeches. He
was met by unusual crowds, these
photographs show, in the course of
the first busy day he spent in the city.
• 30, 1866, when W. Richards of England,
ran the 1,320 yards in 3.07. In his rec
ord mile Tabor ran at the rate of 3.0 J
[l-2 for three-quarters mile. O’Connor
has reason to believe that Tabor cat
cut under Connett's record if he will
consent to train for the test but secur
iii gthe latter’s consent to make the
attempt is something else again al
though O’Connor is confident that he
will be successful in winning Tabor
tack to the cinder track for this spec
ial effort.

AN OPE M LETTER TO THE
LEGISLATORS
AND THE PUBLIC OF GEORGIA
FROM THE
CLERGYMEN OF SAVANNAH
“It appearing that efforts are being
made to discredit the present admin
istration of Savannah by the dissem
ination of reports reflecting directly or
by innuendo on its good faith and trust
worthiness as regards the announced
determinaation to rigidly and persist
ently enforce the new anti-liquor lays
of the state enacted at the laate special
session of the General Assembly, and
knowing that thre is no real basis
for such attacks, and feeling that all
should be properly informed as to the
facts, facts well known to all intelli
gent citizens, and incapable of suc
cessful contradiction, we beg to re
spectfully present them for your care
ful consideration and guidance as fol
lows:
“Since the inauguration of the ex
isting near beer license in 1908 which
gave a cover under which the sale of
intoxicants might be conducted, there
has been a continued widespread and
open violation of the law in Savannah,
as we understand, has been true in
other cities, as regards the sale of
strong drinks. The city has issued,
together with the county and state
licenses for the sale of near beer a
non-existing article, under the guise
of which a regular liquor business has
been carried on for eight years. As
an aiderman, the present Mayor of
Savannah, Hon. Wallace J. iPerponf,
sought to mitigate the evils of the sys
tem, being powerless to prevent their
continuance. He and four other aider
men, a minority of the board, stood
for an increase in the license from
S3OO to SI,OOO and for limiting the
number of license, hoping in this
way to materially lessen the evils of
bar rooms. Defeated in this, he and
those associated with him, sought to
raise the license to SSOO, but unsuc
cessfully. He and they also sought,
and with success to drive the bar
rooms out of a large residence section
of the city, and even if the state had
not passed the new laws they would
have continued their battle to draw
in the lines by restriction in every di
rection, making the 'best fight they
could do as a minority under the old
laws and the conditions surrounding
them.
“Mr. Pierpont was elected Mayor
in October, 1915, so he has been at the
head of the city government less than
four months. His announcement that
he would enforce the new law without
fear or favor as long as he is Mayor
has already led to the closing of 60 bar
rooms, the proprietors going out of
business rather than continue with an
assurance that they could not sell
after next April. The other bars were
allowed to continue until April 29,
1916, the conclusion being reached by
ths City Council than inasmuch as they
had been allowed to operate for eight
years heretofore, they should be al
lowed the time limit given them by
the new state law in which to close
out their businesses and seek other
lines of activity. In this action the
sentiment of Savannahians opposed to
the liquor business and in favor of law
enforcement agreed, we believe prac
tically unanimously and heartily, it be
ing felt that the city government was
pursuing what was probably the best
policy under the conditions that ex
isted here.
“The clean-cut announcement of
Mayor Pierpont’s intention to enforce
the new laws honestly and impartially
has cleared the atmosphere, encour
aged a latent but extensive sentiment
in favor of law enforcement to assert
You can help Redeem Savannah from the stigma
whiskey men and allied interests have put upon it and
aid in establishing law-enforcement By Using Your In
fluence With Your Legislators Against The Bill to
Shorten The Term of The Present Mayor and Aider
men of Savannah The Liquor Men and Politicians al
lied With Them Are All Behind This Bill.
Savannah’s Senator and Representatives, who have
been the most determined opponents of all anti-liquor
legislation,Claim That They Have the Senate and House
Pledged to Them to Pass Their Bill at the Coming Ses
sion. If so,the pledges may have neen obtained though
misrepresentations or misunderstanding of the real is
sue involved.
What do the law-respecting constituents of the
other Senators and Representatives throughout the state
think of such pledges, it they have been given?
ASK YOUR SENATOR AND REPRESENTATITES IF THEY HAVE GIVEN
SUCH PLEDGES AND URGE THEM NOT TO LET COURTESY”

itself, and the best elements of the.
community are rallying to his support.
“The efforts that are being made to
array legislators and others against
Mayor Pierpont and the Board of Ai
dermen on the ground that liquors are
now being sold in Savannah is merely
a subterfuge of those vjio are well
known to have continuously opposed
all stringent anti-liquor laws and im
partial law enforcement in the past,
and are unworthy of your considera
tion. The good citizens of Savannah,
its responsible business men, and those
who are determined that the new laws
shall be respected and obeyed here,
have entire confidence in Mayor Pier
pont and condemn the circulation of
such reports and the purposes which
inspire them.
“The fact to be remembered now is,
not that conditions that existed for
eight years prior to Mr. Pierpont’s
elevation to the mayoralty of Savan
nah are still in force, though we be
lieve that they have already been very
much modified through his efforts, but
that he declares his intention to efar
lessly execute the new laws that be
come effective next April, and that his
declaration of purpose is taken ser
i iously by those in the liquor business
an dthose out of it in favor of its con
tinuance as is already seen by the ac
tions of both.
1 “Because of his stand we confidently
I look forward to far different condi
tions in this respect from those that
■ have prevailed in our city in recent
years, and hope through them to see
| the stigma under which Savannah has
. labored to be speedily removed.
“To this end we shall work and pray,
' and earnestly ask of you your hearty
support in our fight for righteous gov
ernment in dur city.”
