ATLANTA, July 16—With both
sides claiming a definite victory, but
ooth apparently unwilling to trust a
vote, the capital removal issue re
mained very much in doubt today,
following the action of the senate
yesterday in tabling the removal bill
by a vote of 29 to 14.
The Atlanta newspapers are claim
ing that tabling the bill kills it def
initely, as Macon will not be able to
muster enough votes to take it from
’he table and put it on its passage.
The Macon adherents, however, de
clare they have enough vote to pass
it, as shown by the vote to table,
which action was taken on Macon’s
action.
“Macon knows she is defeated. At
lanta has won the capital removal
fight, and the matter is practically
settled right now.”
This was the opinion expressed
unanimuosly by Senator Ivan Al
len and the Fulton delegation in the
house.
All the Fulton county men con
strue Mr. tabling the meas
ure, as an admission on Macon’s part
that she has not a two-thirds ma
jority vote in the senate.

Owing to the bad weather, thousands of persons were dis
appointed Saturday in not being able to attend the big avia
tion show at Souther Field. Colonel Rader, commanding
officer, has given his consent for the repetition of the entire
show, with added features, for the benefit of those persons
in many parts of Georgia and nearby states who may de
sire to attend.

Read what the correspondents who were on the ground
and saw the whole show Saturday say about it.
‘‘lf the Souther Field flyers ever stage another aerial circus
like Saturday s, when in spite of the downpour of rain that
threatened for a time to ruin the show they thrilled seven
thousand Georgians with all the stunts in the book and
some that are not —go if you have to walk.—Ward Greene,
in the Atlanta Journal. . ,
In spite of the fact that the airmen put on every stunt in
the catalog of daredevil flying, not a mishap of any kind
occurred. And there were stunts a plenty, the most dar
ing of which was that staged jointly by Lieut. A. W. Vance
and Lieut A. B. McMullen, who exchanged seats in flight.
* * The whole affair was a huge success.’’-—Americus
I Times-Recorder.
“The crowd was not only pleased—it was amazed. ”■—O.
B. Keeler in The Atlanta Sunday American.
“lhe flying circus was a great success, and it seems the
War Department in charge of the Air Service will reap a
great benefit from it, to the glory of the United States
Army.’’—M. R. Magruder, in the Atlanta Sunday Ameri
can.
“Every known stunt in aviation, and a few that never were
listed in the category of daring events, were presented io
seven thousand spectators at Souther Field aerial circus.”
—Cliff Wheatley, in the Atlanta Constitution.
Ample accommodations for a great crowd, with seats,
shelter, parking space for automobiles, and refreshments,
and lunches on the grounds.
The roads in all directions about Souther Field have been
graded and put in first class shape by the county gangs.

Men Who Won Success, With
Sight or Limbs Missing, Cheer
Wounded at Fort McPherson
ATLANTA, July 16—Wounded
soldiers at Fort McPherson who
are so physically handicapped that
their future is not bright, are be
ing “bucked up” by weekly talks
from well known citizens of the
state who nave w-on success in life
despite the same sort of affliction.
At the instance of Leon R.
Meadows, director of Hospital ser
vice of the American Red Cross in
special charge of Red Cross hopital
service at the fort, these little lec
tures were inaugurated to give in
spiration and hope to lads who
ometime can’t help having the
“blues.” That they are accom
plishing their purpose Mr. Mead
ow tetifie by pointing to the
crowds of wounded men who pack
tative, believes Macon is hoping and
delaying such action in the senate
until the house has had time to act.
But he declared the house is against
removal, and no encouragement can ,
be looked for by Macon from that
source.
Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Furlow, Miss
Lucy Buchanan and Miss Grace Beck
the lecture hall each time.
One talk was made by Judge
John S. Candler, who lot both hi
lower limbs eariy in life, yet rose
to be one of the leading attorneys
in the state and one of Atlanta’s
most valued and respected citizens.
Another talk was by Paul Don
ehoo, Fulton county’s blind coro
ner. Although he lost his sight
when only a child, Mr. Donehoo
graduated from school and college
and finally was admitted to the
bar. He has been elected* coroner
over opposition three times and is
a successful practicing lawyer. Mr.
Donehoo added to his lecture by
rendering several numbers on the
unexpected part of the
I program that was as enjoyable as it
was inspiring to his audience.

umbus, 0., where they attended the
Methodist Centenary celebration.
I They were gone 16 days and made
the entire trip by auto on schedule
time. Mr. Furlow sustained the ver

Guyton Fisher that it was the “great
est ever.” It was a wonderful trip for
all of the party, he said.
AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER.
UNION MEETING
SUNDAY TO HEAR
COMMUNITY PLAN
That the lessons learned in the
war may not die, but their benefits
| may be extended to even the remot
i est community in the country and be
I shared in by those who stayed at
home as well as those who went to
to the training camps, is the purpose
i of a movement undertaken by the
United War Work campaign organiza
tion in an after-the-war program an
nounced today.
The realization of this i lovement
! will be undertaken in Sumter county
at once, and it was announced that
■ a union meeting of all the churches of
Americus will be held at First Baptist
church next Sunday night. The meet
ing will be in charge of R. P. Stack
house, Jr., James W. Lott and 11. S.
Comer, three Sumter county young
men who early in the year dropped
their own business interests and went
to the training school at Blue Ridge,
N. C., where they learned the details
;of the community program for the
purpose of imparting it to the people
of their community. They will have
charge of this meeting Sunday night,
and promise not only an unusual
meeting, but one from which unex
pected personal benefits will be cer
tain to be derived, as well as plenty
of wholesome entertainment experi
enced.
This program was aimed originally
to assist the returned soldier to re
gain his place in civil life, bu tas no
such problem exists in this commun
ity the principal efforts will be de
voted to the community at large. It
was stated that, although the carry
ing out of the program is in charge
of Y. M. C. A. men, it has no actual
connection with the Y. M. C. A. or
ganization.
It was further stated that no col
lection for the Y. M. C. A. or for the
. movement will be taken at this Sun-
I day night meeting. It is solely a
community building meeting, aimed
at assisting the churches of the com
munities to exercise, a greater influ
ence for uplift in their communities
by extending their activities and sup
j plying for the young people the life
i and entertainment they crave and
I which cannot now get except outside
the church.
IMPUDENT EX-SOLDIER
NEGRO SHOT AT CORDELE
i CORDELE, July 16. Walter
j Sampson, a negro employee of the
I Cordele Ice factory and ex-soldier,
was shot Monday on the grounds of
the factory by H. R. Williams, when
he is said to have impudently insulted
Mr. Williams and drawn an ice saw
to make an attack upon him. Mr.
Williams went to the ice factory to
get some ice for his little sick niece
and when he arrived the negro was
on the platform and he is said to have
become very impudent when Mr. Wil
liams stated his purpose. Those who
saw the incident say the negro
i struck at Mr. Williams with the saw
which fell from his hand when the
shot was fired and through his arm
and into his side.
The negro has the reputation of
several times previously been impu
dent to different white people who
had to procure ice from the Cordele
plant. The negro probably will re
cover.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Johnson
and family left this morning by auto
for Atlanta, where they will visit.
Mr. Johnson will return Sunday, but
Mrs. Johnson and the children will
remain longer.
