Ga., Feb. 24.— Youngst ers who used to rub wax on strings and rig telephones with tin cans for receivers and transmitters are now amusing themselves with playthings for more modern. They are rigging up wireless stations on the roofs of houses in Atlanta and are developing such proficiency in sending and re ceiving messages that the government authorities are said to have quietly tipped them off that only between cer tain hours would they be allowed to work their apparatus. Several ama teur operators have picked up mes sages being flashed back and forth to ships at sea, and it is no uncommon thing for their ears to be pounded by the tremendous waves of the Arlington sending station.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. beware of witches. Ever see a witch? Ever see a pic ture of one? Uncanny looking, aren’t they? Strange and ghostly stories have been told of witches and demons since the beginning of history. Fairy tales and nursery rhymes are full of witches such as the fairy turning rag ged little Cinderella into a beautiful princess by a single wave of the hand and old Rip Van Winkle was made to sleep for twenty years. But strange as all these things may seem, still stranger are the amazing and wonder ful performances given by Richards. “The Wizard,” and company, who open a week’s engagement at the Opera House Monday night, the highest class and most elaborately staged mystery, musical, fun show that has ever tour ed the American continent. The en tire production is coming to Americus intact, and exactly as presented in every principal city in North America with three complete changes of pro gram during the week ,and this posi tively is the very first appearance of Mr. Richards at popular prices, as a whole biaggage carload of special sceneery and mysterious stagecraft is required to stage this wonderful show which overflows with clean com edy, now music, mystery, thrills and splendor It is truly a show of a thou sand wonders and during the compa nyy’s engagement here a real live baby to be given away. ANNOUNCEMENT OF “BONE DRY” LAW CAUSED RUSH OF ORDERS ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 24—Although it is against the law to run whiskey advertisements in Georgia, it would seem that every newspaper in the state carried a powerful whiskey ad vertisement on its front page this week in the announcement of the pas sage of the “bone dry” law. No soooner had the news been pub lished than mail orders out of Atlanta for whhiskey jumped to an unprece dented point, and it is understood t s at the same thing took place in every oth er town in the state. Literally speaking, people ordered whiskey who had never ordered any before in their whole lives. It looked like a last chance, and they didn’t know when they might be snake-bitten, and one man said it was his opinion that more liquor would be ordered into Georgia during the next week than had ever been shipped before to the same sized territory in the history of the world. “This enrollment is asked to be made for the purpose of obtaining the exact number of veterans in the state of Georgia, and for the purpose of car rying out the resolution adopted by the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Canfederate Veterans at their con vention at Thomasville and Americus in 1916, to obtain an increase of the pensions to veterans of sls per month, and that a copy of this list, with the company, regiment and army in which service was rendered and date of dis charge, and how discharged, should be made and forwarded to Col. Bridges Smith, adjutant-general of the Georgia division. “And it is also ordered that the names of all veterans that can be as certained who will go to Washington to the June reunion to be held on the sth, 6th and 7th of said month, and to impress upon the veterans that they should go in uniform if possible, but to go without it anyway. Those wishing uniforms can communicate with Col. N. B. Forrest, at Biloxi, Miss., who will give them the information as to how to obtain a uniform and the cost of the same. “Each camp commander is requested to have his county paper publish this order upon receiving the same, for the information of the public and the veterans. “JAMES A.
