R. T. Mathews Recalls Appeal
For Proper Inspection—
Says Good Will Result
That the meat market meh of
or at least some of them,
will Welcome rigid sanitary inspec
tion, was the statement made to the
Times-Recorder today by R. T. Ma
thewsw, of Mathewws Market.
“I have been >sick -with a cold for a
couple o's days, being at home, and I
missed all the fun personally,” said
he, “but I want to say that 1 am
heartily in favor of rigid inspection.
We need it. I have been expecting
for some time what happened when
the state inspector came here this
week; in fact, I thought it would
come before this. Some practices
have been going on about here that
have been shameful. For example,
one day a man brought some meat to
sell to me. I wouldn’t buy it from
him because it wasn’t fit for food. He
went out onto the etree in front of
my place, cut it up and sold it out
on the stree o people who carried it
home. He shouldn’t have been al
lowed to do it, and he wouldn’t, had
we had real sanitary inspection.
“It will be remembered that last
January when the butchers were be
fore the council I appealed to the
mayor and council for proper inspec
tion. So did Mr. Glawson and Mr.
Bragg. But what did they tell us ?
They told us it was up to every fel
low to look out for himself.
“There have been bad things about
town; there have been plenty of
cases if bad meat sold in some of the
markets, which are not kept as they
should be. I admit we have all gotten
too careless under the lack of restric
tions. But the fact is, with bad
meat being sold at cheap prices in
some of the shops, we whi wanted to
conduct high class places couldn’t
carry high-priced or fancy meats and
ompete. And we have gotten care
-FS.
“But I am glad Dr. Walsh came
and I am glad he told the people
what he found. It will do us all
good. And maybe it will bring to the
attention of the mayor and council
the necessity of doing what we mar
ket men asked them to do in January
—see that all meat sold in the city
is properly inspected.
“I am not c eeking notoriety for my
own business, but we have been given
the ‘devil,’ and I feel that we should
be given our due. I am glad that it
has all come out now, and I know we
will benefit by it.”
GLAWSON S MARKET
GIVEN CLEAN BILL.
“My market and myself feel slight
ed,” said J; L. Glawson, proprietor
of the West End Market, today in
conversation with a Times-Recorder
reporter. “TJiree weeks ago, when
Dr. R. M. Walsh, state sanitary in
spector from Atlanta, paid Americus
a visit, he called on me, and I took
great pleasure in showing him about
my market and grocery store. He
seemed well pleased with conditions,
expressing entire satisfaction at the
surroundings, and complimenting me :
especially on the sausage room and
the utensils used in making this pro
duct. He spoke of the first class
condition of the screening, and I felt
mighty good. Finally, when he was
ready to make his report, he handed
me out a certificate stating that my
market met with all the state sani
tation laws regarding the slaughter
ing and selling of meat.
“Yesterday when Dr. Walsh again
paid Americus an official visit, I na
turally concluded he would come to
see us. He did not, and I am today
reading again my certificate of san
itation that he gave me, and rejoicing
that he found conditions about my
market such that a second visit was
not necessary.
“My motto has always been and al
ways will be cleanliness is next to
godliness.”

Ty Cobb and George Stallings, two
eminent Georgians and managers of
ahe Detroit American and Rochester
International baseball teams, who
will play in Americus next Tuesday,
Golden Rule sale day, will be the
guests of the Lions club at the club’s
regular luncheon from 12 to 1 o’clock
that day. Probably several mem
bers of their teams also will be pres
ent, invitations have been extended
to them. Several visiting sporting
wi iters, who are making the train
ing trip with the two teams, also will
be present.
Telegraphic acceptance was receiv
ed this morning from Ty Cobb, who
is at Augusta, by H. E. Allen, pres
ident of the Lions club, yi reply to
his letter of invitation sent several
days ago.
The luncheon will be served in the
Tea Room.
Telegraphic acceptance was K,h
In contemplation of the acceptance
of Cobb and Stallings, plans had
been laid by the Lions for a rather
expanded affair, so that other organ
izations of the community might
unite with the Lions in extending a
welcome to the baseball visitors, and
it was announced by Mr. Allen that
the Lions will be glad to have as
many of the members of the Kiwa
nis and Rotary clubs and the Cham
ber of, Commerce as care to dine
with them on that day, as joint hosts
to Cobb and Stallings, in a manner of
speaking, each man to pay for his
own luncheon at 75 cents per plate,
as is the custom of all the clubs. The
expense of entertaining the visitors
will be taken care if by the Lions
themselve.s No invitations will be
issued to the organizations, othei
than the published notice, because of
the shortness of the time, it was said.
All members of these organizations
who care to accept the invitation foi
that occasion, are asked by President
Allen to notify A. R. Royal, secre
tary, at Churchwell’s, not later than
noon, Monday, so that the Tea Room
iadies may be infformed how many
plates to prepare.
The two baseball teams and the
sporting writers, of whom there will
be several, will reach Americus from
Macon on the 5:1 J a. m. Central of
Georgia tram Tuesday in three pri
vate Pullman cars. This will give
the players ample time to enjoy a
morning workout as usual without
interfering with the luncheon engage
ment or rushing for the afternoon
baseball game.

The seat sales committee issues a

LASTHAPSBURG
FALLS VICTIM
OF PNEUMONIA
Man Whom Allies Banished Af
ter Two Attemps Tp Regain
Throne, Succumbs
FUNCHAL, Maderia, April I.
(By Associated Press.) Former
Emperor Charles, of Austro-Hun
gary, died here today in exile from
double pneumonia.
Ex-Emperor Carl, the la: t *f>f the
Hapsburg dynasty, was exiled to Ma
deria island by the Allies a few
months ago, with ex-Einpress Zita,
his wife, after two unsuccessful at
tempts to seize the throne of Hun
gary.
He was born in 1887, the son of
the late Archduke Otto us Saxony,
and was an unpromising major in the
Austrian infantry regiment when the
shot of the assassin who killed the
Arehdue Francis Ferdinand, on June
28, 1914, made him the heir appar
ent to the throne. He acceded to
the Austrian throne on December 30,
1916, on the death of Emperor Fran
cis Josef.
On October, 1918, shortly before
the end of the great war, Carl an
nounced plans for the Federalization
of Austria-Hungary and in an ad
dress to the Hungarian Diet frankly
admitted his throne was in “peril.”
A day or two later Count Karolyi,
leader of the Hungarian republicans,
announced the success of a blood
less revolution in Budapest and de
clared Hungary a free and independ
ent state. Still later the German
and other provinces declared their
purpose to become autonomous en
tities and the House of the Haps
hurgs, once the leader of the Holy
Roman Empire, seemed to he about
to collapse Vke a house of cards.
POOR SUPPORT IS GIVEN
ANDERSONVILLE PITCHER
ANDERSONVILLE, Anril I.
Oglethorpe defeated Andersonville
High in a fast baseball game at Ogle
thorpe Friday afternoon by the score
of 6 to 4.
Johnson, of Andersonville, had the
Oglethorpe batters at his mercy at
all times, but poor support in the
pinches lost the game for him. He
struck out 10 batters and allowed
but 3 hits, one of these a scratch hit.
At bat he proved his worth by con
necting safely three times out of four
trips to plate. Two runs were earn
ed off his delivery, while his team
mates secured seven hits and earned
the 4 runs they made. Aycock got a
single and a double out of four trips.
The ground was wet and rough,
which accounts for the erratic field
ing of both teams.
Batteries: Oglethorpe, Ansley and
Murray; Andersonville, Johnson and
Shockley. Struck out, Ansley 2:
Johnson 10; hits, off Ansley 7; off
Johnson 3; base on balls, Ansley 4,
