STILL IS FOUND
IN CABIN AFTER
TRAMP IN BOG
Tramping about for two hours in a
dense swamp isn’t a pastime to be en
joyed by the average citizen, but
Sheriff Lucius Harvey and Deputy
Tom Summers say it is sometimes
necessary, and once in a while even
enjoyable. Neither would say they
enjoyed their last tramp about the
swamp near Andy Ingram’s cabin, 3
miles south of Americus, near Tan
yard Hill on the Plains road, but they
do say their search was successful,
and the dandy little copper st.’ . they
brought in with them subs ■ ntiates
their statement.
Several days ago the officers re
ceived a tip that Andy was “stilling”
some moonshine liquor of exceptional
ly good quality, and they decided to
investigate. Naturally, they located
the still in the swampy region about
Andy’s humble cabin, and this was
first searched, failjng to reveal the
location of the stijj Almost ready to
abandon the zney decided to
call at Andy’s! Ae, where <hey

found in ayj utside the cabin, was
poured °utM; 4 greedily eaten by
Andy’s a small quantity
of A-l moonshine corn was brought
in to Americus, along with the still,
a copper contrivance with a capacity
of 8 gallons, and in every way excel
lently constructed.

AFTER CASHING CHECK
At the instance of Louis Rosen
burg,. manager of the Bee Hive store
on Lamar street, a warrant has been
issued for C. K. Flowers, a well
known resident of Sumter county,
charging cheating and swindling. The

cers told him they would go out in
the country during the day and bring
Flowers to Americus, where he will
be arraigned and bond fixed for his
appearance in city court.
According to Rosenburg, Flowers
came into his store several days ago
inquiring if he had any change. Be
ing informed that plenty of cash
was available, he pulled a check book
out of his pocket, wrote a check for
! sls and asked the Bee Hive manager
to cash it. Rosenburg says he asked
Flowers the direct question whether
or not he had sufficient money in the
bank to cover the check before cash
ing it, and that Flowers answered
that he had. John Oliver, a clerk in
the Bee Hive, identified Flowers, who
said he wanted the cash in order to
pay off some of his hands. When the
check was presented for deposit at
the bank. Rosenburg was informed
Flowers had no account there at this
time, and that Flowers’ account had
been closed some time previously, he
I says. He then applied for and ob-
I tained a warrant for Flowers’ arrest.

MACON’S CAPITOL FIGHT
LOST, DECLARES DODSON
Col. W. A. Dodson left last night
for Atlanta, where he is registered
at the state house as a lobbyist for
Atlanta in the capital removal fight.
Colonel Dodson, who was formerly a
member of the legislature and re
puted to be one of the best lobbyists
in Georgia, declared while here that
Macon did not have a chance in her
fight for removal since Atlanta had
become busy.
“The fact is, the people are begin
ning to realize that there is no reason
for removal of the capital other than
that Macon wants it,” said he, “and
that is no reason at all. Capital re
moval would be expensive to the state
and would benefit very few people.”

16 BOCHE FOKKER PLANES
TO BE SHOWN THURSDAY
BY M. R. MAGRUDER
Staff Correspondent of The Atlanta
Georgian.
Souther Field will stage another
aerial circus next Thursday, be
cause the aviators were not entire
ly satisfied with the show last Sat
urday, which was hampered by
rain.
This time many new features
will be presented. The flyers are
expected to develop some new and
more thrilling stunts in the air.
Judging from the remarkable feats
don e last Saturday the new stuff
will have to be the acme of daring
to eclipse them.
The exhibits in the recruiting
booth also will be enhanced by the
addition of more aviation mechan
ism, planes, etc., including six
teen German Fokker planes which
arrived too late for the exhibition
Saturday. These planes, which
were nearly all in combat in
France, were either captured by
Allied flyers or turned over to the
United States army by the Ger
mans on the signing of the armis
tice.
The athletic events for next
Thursday will cover a wider range
than those planned for the previous
show. Two ball games are likely,
whereas even one game could not
be finished last Saturday because of
darkness due to delay in starting
the game caused by rain.
With the great interest shown
last Saturday it is expected that
a larger crowd will be on hand,
ADMIRAL BLUE IS ILL;
RETIREMENT PROPOSED
WASHINGTON July 14—(By As
sociated Press) —Rear Admiral Vic
tor Blue, chief of the bureau of nav
igation, who has been ill for several
months, has been recommended for
retirement by the board of Naval Med
ical Officers. Secretary Daniels an
nounced that his successor would be
named as soon as President Wilson
approved the board’s recommenda
tion.
Admiral Blue is a native of North
Carolina.
3 SERIOUSLY HURT IN
CORN FACTORY RIOT
CHICAGO, July 14—(By Associa
ted Press) —Two women and one
man were seriously injured today
when strikers at the Argo plant of
with people coming from all over
the Southeast. Lieutenant Hen
derson, manager of the exhibition,
has inaugurated a new and more
elaborate campaign of whirlwind
publicity, and it is believed that a
wide interest in the eflorts to re
cruit the air service will be engen
dered.
One of the principal parts of the
recruiting exhibit is the pig which
will fall to the lot of some lucky
man enlisting in July. The plan is
this: When a man enlists during
this month he will be given a ticket
with a number. At the end of the
month there will be a drawing and
the lucky man gets the pig. Then
the pig will be delivered by plane
to the enlisted man’s home.
The pig, with its mother and five
little brothers and sisters, which
came from the famous Duroc herd
of the Arles plantation, was on
exhibition Saturday and drew
marked attention. The men who
have entered the service are talk
ing in terms of pigs, according to
Col. Rader, who is also enthusias
tic over the plan.
The pig’s name is Aerial Queen,
and is of highly developed blooded
stock, with a shining pedigree. It is
the first member of its tribe ever
to take up aviation.
Lieutenant Henderson is busy
with plans for other features to
make the circus bigger and better,
and with the assistance of the able
young men of the post it may be
safely predicted that he will suc
ceed.

It was announced today by Lieut.
Rema J. Henderson, who managed the
big aerial circus at Souther Field Sat
urday, that Colonel Rader, command
ing officer, at the request of the
other officers and men of the field,
had given consent for a repetition of
the entire program next Thursday,
July 17. Accordingly everything was
set in motion early this morning at.
the camp for the event, which is ex
pected to be far greater in point cf
interest and attendance than Satur
day.
It was also announced that several
added attractions would be present
ed, among them two high class, acts
of the circus saw-dust ring, which
are guaranteed to amuse. Because
of the lengthening of the program,
the program of events will begin at
12:30 instead of 1:30 as Saturday.
It wag stated that the reason for
repeating the show was the interfer
ence of the weather Saturday which
prevented thousands of persons from
a, distance who wished to see the cir
cus from attending. Added to this
handicap was the unfortunate circum
stance that Saturday, the busiest tra
ding day of the week, had been cho
sen, prohibiting all business people
from attending. By repeating the
event on a mid-week day it was ex
pected that several thousand from the
• city who were unable to be present
Saturday will attend, and with good
weather, which is believed to be due,
following generous rainfall recently,
a real throng will be present fu»i»
all the surrounding country.
To thoroughly inform the adjoin
ing country of the decision to repeat
the performance, announcements
were to appear in the daily newspa
pers throughout this sect'on today
and tomorrow.
Among the added features for
the aerial circus which will be re
peated July 17, are two real circus
show acts which will be given on the
ground,” said Lieut Henderson to
day. “These acts are good; they hav e
pleased circus crowds in the days be
fore the advent of the aeroplane and
will do so again.
“Those who were present on Sat
urday were thrilled by the perform
ance of Lieut. Vance and Lieut. Mc-
Mullen when they climbed over the
ship while fliying. Those acts were
merely a rehearsal to what those two
aviators will do on Thursday. Lieut.
McMullen will ride on the landing:
gear and do a double acrobatic stunt
series will be given. He will perform,
trapeze work from the axle ’of the
machine while Vance stunts the ship.
This series of specialties has never
before been attempted at any field
or circus.”
The Fort Benning band, which,
under command of Lieut. Chambers,
furnished music all afternoon Satur
day, has been retained and will re
main at Souther Field until after
Thursday.
f The exhibits of foreign airplanes
will also be added to, a shipment of
German Fokker planes, which were
to have been shown Saturday, having
’ just arrived at Souther Field.
