SUNDAY, APRIL 23, 1916 Five Hundred Dollars Reward Paid for a satisfactory .wholesale buyer of the Hamilton Stock, at .Americus, Ga. I can’t afford the time from my Montezuma business to sell the stock at retail and I will pay you to find me a buyer. But until I find a satisfactory wholesale buyer the stock still goes at retail at an average price of Fifty Nine Cents On The Dollar DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, SHOES, MILLINERY J. D. MAFFETT, - - - Proprietor Hamilton’s Old Store Interesting Items From The Americus Schools THE HIGH SCHOOL Somewhere there is an old adage about “Eternal vigilance is the price of success.’’ And it is true every word. It was proved to the satisfactaion of ev ery student in the Americus High school Monday when it was anounced to the pupils in chapel, that our High school had tied Cordele for first honors in the Third District High school meet in Cordele. Prof. C. M. Hale was most enthus iastic over the brilliant showing of the Americus High school, and the taste of victory is so sweet, that those left in school next year are determined to be gin practice soon after September, in order to have another championship representation. And this brings up the discussion of how many are left to take part in next year’s meet. George Andrews, who won several places in the athletic events is a Junior this year, and he will be left to look out for the school in the athletics. Ar nold McGillis will be there as a senior, and he is expected to easily win the high jump. Wilbur Giddings, one of the debaters of 1916, and editor-in chief of the “A-meri-cusser,” will be in school another year, and his oratorical abilities will be used in the decla mation, which Frank Harrold, Jr., won this year. Ely Horne, he who knows how to spell every word in the diction ary, and a few not known to old Noah Webster when he decided to add to the schoolboys’ troubles by harpooning every word in the English language, will be on hand as a sophmore, and his talent as a speller will stand the school in good stead, when the High school students of the Third district gather in Americus for their 1917 frolic. The delators will be picked from the following students: Wilbur Giddings, James Davenport, Henry Lumpkin, You’ll Say : “That Was a Fine Cup of Coffee!” Because It’s the Old Secret Blend. After all, it’s the wonderful aroma, flavor and real coffee goodness that wins you to French Market Coffee —the Old Secret Blend. You may be interested in the hun dred year old secret of blending, grind ing and roasting—you may relish the thought that it brings you the self same goodness as enjoyed by Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson and others at the Old French Market —but what makes the biggest hit with you is the unusual goodness that causes you to exclaim “That was a fine cup of cof fee.” You can drink all you want of French Market Coffee. Drink it at any hour. For generations it was known as the micnight drink of New Orleans society. No difficulty in obtaining it—for French Market is sold in your own neighborhood.

This array of youthful Cirecos will give the Americus High school a debating team of the highest calibre. The best annual Americus ever saw is now being prepared. To cost five hundred dollars, and almost all the money to be supplied by the students of this school. Os course, we are proud of this annual, and there is sufficient cause. The board of education gave the issue one hundred dollars instead of invitations as has always been the custom. This was about an even swap, as the students will spend approxi mately one hundred dollars for the in vitations. The Annual will be bound in green leather, and when completed will rank with tile handsomest in the state. In the recent High school meet, Americus was the only high school displaying an annual and a weekly newspaper. This, of course, had its weight with the judges, who gave the decision to the Americus High school. In connection with this exhibit, the superintendent of the Cordele schools said “Americus easily has first prize in exhibits,” and he made that statement long before the judges had announced their decision. The prize winning exhibit was again placed for inspection of the public Wednesday, and quite a number of Americus people went out to the High school building to see the works of art on display. The inspection was in the library, and those w’ho saw the articles made by the students, were very gener ous in their praise of the handiwork. The people of Americus wjll have one more opportunity to see the work ac complished by the boys of the school. When the May festival to be given by the Grammar school occurs, the doors of the Manual training department will be thrown open to the public, and a glimpse of the work will be given. The carving of Ralph Rodgers will at that t’me be shown, and as his work has attracted attention everywhere it has been showm, this will add much to the attractiveness of the display. Profs. Hale, Clement, Noyes, Worthy and deßruyne, of the Americus High school faculty, and Prof. Cornelius H. Witt left Friday to attend the conven tion of the teachers of the state. And as a consequence, the students were granted a much needed holiday. The old creek was getting impatient for its callers, and quite a number of the boys made their first pilgrimage of the seas on Friday. Those who didn’t go to Muckalee, boarded slivers and made for Wells' mill, where the big “red ones” are just beginning to bed. The teach ers will return Saturday, and school will proceed Monday, as usual. John Taylor, of the class of 1914, made a short trip dow.ni to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Taylor, am) incidentally his schoolmates of days when he used to ramble Rees Park, looking for Freshmen, who might car ry an extra cheese-sandwich concealed about them. . John is. a student at the University of Georgia, and is making a fine record in that institution. He was at chapel exercises Monday morning, and returned Monday at noon, to re sume his studies at the State Univers ity in Athens. Prof. Holst is of the opinion that George Andrews stands a good chance to win the state prize in the hundred yard dash, and with that end in view Prof. Holst is training George for the meet in Atlanta in May. This affair is independent of the one in Athens, and last year the record made in this meet were much higher than that in Athens. George ran the hundred in ten and three-fifths seconds in Cordele, and it is believed this mark will be improved w ith practice. Several winners in Cor dele have announced their intention to go to the meet in Athens. And as the records made in Cordele far exceed those made in other meets, the Third District has excellent chances to win the state prize. Frank Harrold, the Americus boy who won the declama tion will attend the gathering, and others from Americus will probably journey to Athens to hear him speak. The University commencement is just a week later, and many of those at tending will remain a week for the big times of that occasion. Before a small crowd Friday, Roy Johnson, backed by the huskies rep epresenting the Americus High school, tied the bitter cup of defeat on their rivals from the Columbus Industrial High school to the tune of Ito 0. This was by far the prettiest game the local H'gh school team has ever played, and one of the prettiest any team anywhere ever had occasion to play. The entire game was a pitcher’s battle between Johnson, of Americus, and E. McClel lan, of Columbus, with Johnson con siderably on top. The local boy made sixteen of the boys from Muscogee bow to his benders, and besides gave up three tingles. The crowd went wild ir. the early part of the game when Johnson struck out four Columbus players in quick succession, and it simply went crazy when, in the last inning Roy struck out all three men— and it was the big end of the Columbus line-up at that. Glenn, of Columbus, played a steady game behind the plate, and rendered his team mates valuable service in killing the base-runners of Americus who had ambitions to steal bases. Bill Dodson, catcher for the Americus team, played a wonderful game back of the willow, and more than once his good work played havoc with the chances of Columbus. Both pitchers had perfect control, neither passing a man on balls, nor was there one hit by a pitched ball. The game at the beginning was a question of three up and three down, except that in the first round Cham bliss reached second on a scratch in field hit. Johnson sent two to the bench on strikfle-outs in this round. Columbus scored her first hit in the fourth, when Lockhart sent one too hot to handle through second. In the next inning, Glenn popped a hot one to center for the second hit of the game. In the eighth round Columbus secured two hits, but Johnson settled down and struck out the next two men facing him. Americus secured her second hit when “Bear” Mathis whaled the pellet to deep center for one bag. And her third came when Emmett Bolton knocked one too hot to handle to the infield. The lone tally of the game came in this inning—the sixth. Bolton led off with a single and went to second on Chambliss’ sacrifice bunt. Bolton took third when McClellan fum bled Dodson’s hot liner, Dodson be ing safe at first. Dodson immediately swiped second and Bolton scored on Webb's sacrifice to the infield. Dod son went to second on this play, and THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. Mathis retired the side with a strike out. After this neither of the teams were able to add a run and the final score stood: Americus 1, Columbus 0. And it was one of the prettiest games imaginable. The official box score is: A. H.

Time of game, 1:05; Umpire, Quil lian; Scorer, Wheatley. Attendance, very good. Americus Takes Second. One more close game is added to the string of the Americus High school. After the pitchers duel of Fri day between Johnson and McClellan, nericus returned Saturday, determ ined to make a clean sweep of the series. But they made a bad begin ning. Columbus rolled up six runs before the local High school could count, but after securing one run in the fifth and in the sixth, the wreck ing crew got busy and scored nine runs before a halt was called. The final score was Americus High 10, Coluhbus Industrial 9. The feel ing and batting of Charlie Chambliss, the elongated guardian of the initial sack for Americus, and the batting of Johnson featured for Americus High. In the sixth Johnson slammed the pill over the fence but owing to ground rules was allowed only two bags. The batting of Conway and David featured the afternoon for Columbus. Webb pitched a very good game, but the locals failed to support him at cruicial points. Bird, who pitched five and a half innings, was wild, and he was knocked out by the locals in the sixth inning.
