THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY. JULY 24, 1908.
SKE1GH OF HON. 'LAW MAKERS OF STATE
DUDLEY M. HUGHES; CAUGHT IN A RAID
ISew Congressman is Pros=
porous Farmer.
Broughton Tells of a Little
Game of Draw.
Hon, Dudley M. Hughes. Congress-,
jnan-tlect from the Third district, is'
a native of Twiggs county, his pres-!
ent home being at Danville. After j
attending the common schools, he j
entered the University of Georgia.'
On leaving the University, Mr. Hughes .
chose agriculture as his life work.!
jwri has become known as one of the j
most successful farmers in that sec-.
tion ii! the state.
Mr. Hughes began ills political ca- j
rei r in 1SS2 when he was elected
Sta'e Senator. At the conclusion of
his service in this capacity Mr. Hughes
retired to private life. Two years
ago he ran against Congressman Lewis
but was defeated. At the recent
election he "made the riffle" and
gained the plum from the Third
district. Both as a public and private j
citizen Mr. Hughes has been active
ATLANTA, July 20.—(Special)—
Len Broughton last night made a
sensational attack on members of the
Legislature, who engaged in a friendly
game; on. the convict system; on the
members of the Prison Commission,
and on the "near beer" of Atlanta.
Saturday night a room In the Kim
ball was raided and five members of
the legislature caught there were
allowed to make bond without the
formality of paying a visit to the po
lice station and having their names
docketed on the records.
Names of the members have been
scrupulously guarded.
Dr. Broughton demands investiga
tion hv the legislature and a trial of
the legislators by the court.
Of the Prison Commission he de
clared that they were a “Set of rim
less naughts." and that they had not
shown themselves competent to hold
their positions.
Speaking of “near beer,'’ he said
Atlanta was full of “nears."
He declared that the only thing that
was not “near" was the Mayor of the
city. He asserted that Mayor Joyner
could not claim to he even a “near”
Mayor, as he was a man who lived in
Cold) county and made his living run
ning professional baseball teams.
.SUMTER AND MACON TO
FORM A NEW DISTRICT
If State is Redistricted, as i
Proposed.
Sumter and Macon counties may
form u new senatorial district, if
the Hnie hill now pending in the
House is acted upon favorably, thus
parting company with Schley county,
with which we have trotted in har
ness for many years.
In the re-districting of the state
Sumter and Macon would continue the
Thirteenth district, while Schley
would go to the Twenty-fourth, with
Marion and Chattahoochee.
The Ituie bill provides for fifty-nine
senatorial districts, instead of forty-
four, as at present.
Under the new scheme, the trig five
city counties of Fulton, Chatham,
Richmond. Bibb ond Floyd are each
created. Then two large counties are
lo be made into districts and then
three counties to a district.
The hill was introduced last session
by Mr. Huie and attracted interest at
once. It was recently favorably re
ported by the Committee on Constitu
tional Amendments and has been read
the second time in the house.
It will in all probability be pissed
one day this week.

tor the best interests of his own
section and of the state at large.
In the educational field_ Mr.
Hughes is trustee of the G. N. & L
College at MUledgevllle, a trustee of
-the University of Georgia, and also
of the Georgia State Agricultural Col
lege at Athens. He also occupies a
trusteeship for his local school at
.Danville.
Mr. Hughes was one of the Incor-
■porators of *the Macon, Dublin «
Savannah Railroad, and while the
road was in course of building he
was President. His object in in
teresting himself in this undertaking
was to develop what he considered
vone of the best sections of Georgia.
vWKen a young man Mr. Hughes
married Miss Mary F. Dennard,
daughter of Capt. Hugh L. Dennard,
of Perry county. They have three
children, all grown, H. L. Dennard
Hughes, Daniel G. Hughes, and
Hennilu Hughes. The eldest son is
a merchant. "Dan” as the second
son is familiarly known, was the
manager of his father's recent cam
paign.
“Dr. King's New Discovery is the

solid carloads have been shipped from
Americus since the Beason opened
But the returns from commission
houses, in many instances, were far
from satisfactory. For Instance, one
particularly fine carload shipped last
week and consisting of about fi50
crates, netted the shipped a little
more than a paltry five dollars, or less
than one cent a crate. This, of course
would not pay for the nails used in
making the crates, and Is calculated
to disgust anyone with the methods

Within a few days now the pen
aloners in Sumter will be paid their
third quarterly stipend and about
ft,700 will thus be distributed in
Americus. The sum total of $210.
000 will be sent out this week
the state's pensioners, or a total
of nearly $1,000,000 a year . Commis
sioner Lindsey holies to get the
checks to the ordinaries of the var

it Is hoped that every pensioner in
the state wilt have his money before
the end of the present month. The
payment of the July installment will
nuike the third quarterly payment
which will have been made during the
present year. It lias been the policy
of the administration and of Die de
