SECRETARY HYMAN REPORTS THE MANY
THINGS ACCOMPLISHED BY BOOSTERS
DURING THE FISCAL YEAR JUST ENDED
“The Convention City” is The New Title For Americus And With Many Other At
tractions And Labors She Proudly Forges Herself Through The
Chamber of Commerce
HYMAN MAKES HIS
REPORT FOO WORKS
AT ANNUAL MEETING
E. H. Hyman, secretary of the Amer
icus and Sumter County Chamber of
Commerce, made his report to the an
nual meeting Friday night, it carried
many interesting features which are
not generally known by the people, and
he said, in part:
“It gives me, as your secretary, great
pleasure to submit to you my first an
nual report of the work that has been
accomplished by your organization
during the fiscal year, May Ist, 1916,
to May Ist, 1916. I wish to say that
this report does not include the finan
cial report, which your secretary has
prepared in detail, and will follow this
report of commercial activities.
“The success we have had is not all
due to your secretary and his office
force, for our beloved president, Carr
S. Glover, has at all times given the
organization the most unselfish loyalty
a president could give his secretary.
We have worked together in the “boost
ing business’’ as real “hot air” part
ners in business. Mr. Glover deserves
the praise of every member of this or
ganization, for his untiring efforts dur
ing the past year.
“Not alone has the work fallen upon
the secretary and president, but J. W.
Harris, Jr., vice president, and the
seven commissioners, W. M. Jones, >.
E Poole Frank P. Harrold, D. R. An
drews, John W. Shiver and George R.
Ellis, should come in for their share
in this great work for the past year.
Never in the twelve years’ experience
of your secretary have I seen a set of
officers and directors work in such
erfect harmony as has prevailed in the
many meetings held this year, and no
matter what has come up in the meet
ings, or whether the commissioners
differed with the officers and the sec
retary, it was finally adjusted with
smiles and good feelings, and a unan
imous endorsement was given to every
project by the directing officers. A
year has passed by, and it has gone so
quickly that it is hard to realize that
it has been one year since the organ
ization was first started. There has
really been no grand, spectacular
events, but the work has gone steadily
on with push and enthusiasm and con
structive work for Americus.
“At the time that we had the Knock
er's Funeral, your secretary thought
that this would be a practical lesson,
and that with that casket going into
the ground, believed would determine
it and the knockers would cease. Sor
ry to say that our old friend, the
Knocker, like the poor man, is still
with us. For a knocker, once a knocker,
it seems it is impossible to convert
him, but we are proud to say that you’-
secretary can refer you to several good
men, who were not real knockers, but
who had been disgruntled in some way
by some things that had happened in
Americus. It gives us great pleasure
to say that some of these men are now
active workers in the Chamber of
Commerce, and I am proud to state
that they are the fellows who comes
around to the office and “aig” the sec
retary on to greater efforts. The ob
ject of the Chamber of Commerce, and
i‘s work, are to advise, promote and
piotect the business interests of Che
city of Americus, and It should expect,
and should have, the active interest and
co-operation of individuals and firms
to the profit of the city’s growth and
development.
“A word, at this time, about what its
department has accomplished in farm
demonstration, might be of some in-
Iterest to the members. Through our
efforts, there is employed in Sumter
county one of the very best farm dem
onstrating agents in the state of Geor
gia. It gives your secretary great I
pleasure to say this, knowing him as I
do, and having worked faithfully with
him for five years prior to coming to
Americus, and when I say to you that
J G. Oliver is one of the most cons
cientious and best informed agricul
tural agents in the state of Georgia, if
not in the Southern states, I assure
you that I know what I am talking
about. This is the first year this work
lias been undertaken under the new re
organization of the Chamber of Com
merce. The ten months’ work of Mr.
Oliver can not but make you feel proud
that you have oragnized a real Cham
ber of Commerce, if, for no other pur
pose, than to instill into the farmers of ,
Sumter county the up-to-date and
scientific farming and good lessons
that are being taught them on pre
paredness for the entrance of the boll
v. eevil by Mr. Oliver. He makes his
office in the Chamber of Commerce, and
bls services to the farmers of Sumter
county are free. Inoculation of swine,
as a preventative of cholera, is a part
cf this work, which has saved the farm
ers of Sumter many thousands of dol
lars in this ten months. Through the
activities of this body and the agricul
tural agent, we secured, through the
Sumter County Board of Education, the
services of one of the best posted wo
men in home economics that can be
found in the state of Georgia. Miss
Ellen S. Brooks has been on the job
now for about four months, and the
marked improvement over the county
v/ith the little girls in this short time
is something that every member who
sits in this room tonight may feel j
proud of. There has never been a time
during the entire period of farm dem
onstration that your secretary has not
caned both Mr. Oliver and Miss Brooks
his best efforts and co-operation, some
times having to work overtime many
hours in helping them to carry out
some of their projects. Feeling as .'
do that we have an agricultural center
that we should feel proud of, there
has never been a single minute during
the day through these entire ten
months that I have not believed that
by active work our agricultural inter
ests could be vastly improved. Mr.
Cliver will tell you, personally of some
of the things that he has run, up
against in his work, and of the results
that he has accomplished better than
1 could tell you.
“We have held seventy-three meet
ings during the year, in the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce, divided as
follows: Special committees, 12;
membership meetings, 8; officers and
board of commissioners, 16; new rail
road meetings, 9; retail merchants’ de
partment, 8; fair committee, 4; depot
committee, 8.
We have had this year considerable
coniventions, and it has often been ask
ed: ‘Do Conventions Pay?’ There is
nothing that can be done for a city that
pays as handsome dividends as conven
tions. They not only advertise your
city, but they bring into the city much
ready cash. We have had this year the
fololwnig conventions: Dixie Highway
convention, one day. attendance, 150;
Bankers Group 4, one day, attendance
125; Third District Rural Letter Car
riers, one day, attendance 50; State
Sunday School convention,, three days,
daily attendance 1,500, a total of 4,500
visitors during the three days; Dixie
Highway celebration, one day, attend
ance 2,000; Supreme Circle of Georgia
convention three days, daily attend-

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
GLOVER HEADS THE
MEN OF CHAMBER
COMMERCE ISM
The Americus and Sumter Coun‘y
Chamber of Commerce met in annual
session Friday night for the purpose
of electing officers for the ensuing year,
and for a general resume of the year’s
work.
The report of Secretary Hyman was
most gratifying and showed that much
good had been accomplished for Amer
icus and Sumter county in the past
year, in. the way of arousing a greater
public spirit in agriculture, commerce
and the development of this most fav
ored section. It sihowed that a deeper
sense of appreciation and public spirit
edness had been awakened over the
wonderful possibilities of this section.
Further, his report went to show that
much good had been done in the way,
of advertising this section through the
medium of bringing conventions to the i
city, thus bringing to the attention of
large numbers of people the varied re
sources we possess, awaiting indus
trial development.
The organization of the Third Dis
trict Agricultural Fair association
came in for no small measure of praise
and commendation. And right here,
let us pause long enough to say byway
of comment, that this is one of the
biggest things that has been done for
Americus and Sumter county and the
whole district, as for that. The ef
fects of this organization will be far
reaching, and will continue to live for
years to come, growing stronger and
better as the years go by and greater
benefits accruing as time goes on. The
i hird District fair movement is de
serving of heartiest support and co
operation at the hands of our people.
Secretary Hyman was given highest
praise for what he has accomplished,
and hb deserves it.
J. G. Oliver, agricultural agent,came,
in for his share of praise for the work
he had done along agricultural lines. 1
He was commended most heartily for.
his painstaking and efficient work
among the farmers.
Among the various matters discuss
ed for future action was that of bring-1
ing manufacturing enterprises to
Americus. This is a step in the right!
direction and if gone after in an ene- - -1
getic, business-like way, and which
we are sure will be done, now that
the ball has been started to rolling.
Some changes were made in the
modus operand! of the organization at
the meeting Friday night. A commit
tee of seven were appointed to have a
sort of general supervision of the work
to be done, with various sub-commit
tees working with and under them, the
plan being, of course, to work in har
monious conjunction with each other,
all arriving at a common end, that of
beneficial results for this and contig-'
ious territory.
Carr S. Glover was re-elected presi
dent of the organization, and came in
for his well deserved share of praise
for the past year’s work, as did the
other officers of the body. F. P. Har
rold was elected vice president; T. E.
Bolton was re-elected treasurer of the
organization, while E. H. Hyman was
continued as secretary.
Commissioners were elected as fol
lows: G. R. Ellis, on organization; J.
E. Poole, on business; J. E. Hightower,
on transportation; John W. Shiver, on
new industries; C. L. Ansley, on agri
culture; W. M. Jones, on publicity; L.

HUBBY FURNISHES SHIRTS
NOW FOR WIFE’S STYLE
ATLANTA, Ga., June 17.—The latest
tad of fashion to be adopted by At
lanta women is the wearing of their
husband’s shirts for shirt waists. They
say the shirt makes the neatest, moat
comfortable and most stylish looking
shirt waists they ever wore.
A very common and popular “stunt”
among the younger set is for a hus
band and wife to have their shirts and
shirt faists made from the same ma
terial, which gives a wide range for
the employment of their taste in the
selection of new loud colors the men
are wearing.
The most gorgeous suits of plaids
ever worn by Harry Lauder in his fam
ous rendition of Scottish songs and
humorous stories was not a circum
stance compared to the patterns
Atlanta men are wearing
In one Atlanta office the young fel
lows have started a regular contest
to see which one can wear the loudest
shirt. They have arranged a schedule
of “games’’ with one another and
post a daily bulletin on the “league
standing." For three days hand run
ning two men are pitted against each
other, and a close account is kept of
the “games” won and lost by each.
The louder a contestant’s shirt, the
more games he wins and the higher he
goes in standing; while the more quiet
and dignified his shirt, the fewer
games he wins, the lower goes his
percentage, and pretty soon he hits
the cellar.

AMERICUS CASES.
Each of some 6,000 newspapers of
the United States is publishing from
week to week, names of people in its
particular neighborhood who have
used and recommended Doan’s Kid
ney Pills for kidney, backache, weak
kidneys, bladder troubles and urinarv
disorders. This mass of proof includes
over 30,000 recommendations. Ameri
cus is no exception,. Here is one of
‘he Americus cases.
D. J. Stevens, blacksmith, 314 Spring
street, Americus, says: “The kidney
secretions were too scanty and irreg
ular in- passage. I suffered from sharp
pains in the small of my back, some
times for three days at a time. Part
of this time I was in bed, bent over
and not able to straighten up. I suffer
ed from rheumatic pains a great deal,
too. I took about one box of Doan's
Kidney Pills and they helped me.”
