THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 10. 1910.
HUDSON IS NAMED FOR
GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.
Such is Rumor in Circles
Political.
Tom Hudson a Candi
date Upon Whom Fac
tions Could Unite.
Hon. Thomas G. Hudson for Gover
nor of Georgia, as one upon whom the
friends of both Governor Joseph M.
Brown and former Gov. Hoke Smith
could unite harmoniously and, stand
ing shoulder to shoulder, elect to the
high office of chief executive in
whirlwind campaign.
Such is the rather startling, though
none the less pleasing, news reaching
Americas yesterday from that politi
cal vortex—Atlanta.
Governor Thomas G. Hudson; sure
ly it sounds all right.
And with such a candidate, back
ed by the serried hosts of Brown and
Smith, with no possibility of a Jones
in the race. Democracy will win in a
walk.
Political circles in Americus—and
we have such circles here—heard the
report yesterday that friends of Gov.
Brown and Mr. Smith had suggested
Col. Hudson for governor as a man
upon whom both factions and all their
allied forces could very readily get
together.
Such action would obtiviate a pollt
lea! campaign in Georgia, such as now
threatens.
It is not known h re how the report
started, but prominent citizens were
discussing it and with evident favor
as might be expected.
Col. Hudson Is popular throughout
the state, where his ability is reoeg
nized, and his thousands of warm
friends would rally to his standard for
the office of governor, or any other
for which the genial and popular
State Commissioner of Agriculture
migh aspire. *
Col. Hudson Is at his home here,
slightly ill and confined to his room,
and hits neither affirmed or denied the
reports current.

FIGHT ON THE TRUST
farmer Wilson of Sumter
is Care free.
BOUGHT FARM OFF THE
DeSOTO PLANTATION.
Another South Carolinian
to Move to Sumter.
Mr. S. J. Wilson, a prominent bun!
ness man of Greenville county, South
Carolina, yesterday bought a block
of 459 acres of the De Soto plantation
through the Southern Hand Company
or Americus.
Mr. Wilson's son will remove from
South Carolina at an early date, and
engage In farming on the place Just
bought for him.
Other South Curolinians have thoir
eyes on farms in Sumter county and
It is quite probable that fieveral ad
ditlotml families will remove from that
•tate to the vicinity of Americus in
the near future. These are all Intel
ligent progressive farmers and will
live on the places they contempate
(buying.

MJ. Jarrett J. Wilson is one of Sum
ter's substantial farmers who do not
worry over the battle royal between
the people and the meat trust, though
his sympathies are with the people
in their righteous war. Personally
the meat trust does not worry him a
little hit.
A day or two ago .Mr. Wilson was
in a little city near Americus, and
was invited by citizens there to sign
an agreement to abstain from eating
meat for thirty days.
"Why should I do tills," Mr. Wil
son asked, "when I have In my own
smokehouse at home more meat of
my own raising than my family can
consume this year, while my farm
hands are alike well supplied.”
Then the pledge signers knew tie
was a Stumer county farmer, and
said no more about It.
And what Mr. Wilson said was lit
erally true, us ills friends and neigh
hors will attests. Thousands of
pounds of fine hams, shoulders,
middlings, etc. are in his smoke
house. He operates nine plows on
his fine farm near Americus, and all
of his negro tenants have plenty of
meat for the year as they have ev
ery year.
For it is the rule on the Wilson
plantation that everything consumed
there must be produced on the farm;
nothing must be bought. And even
some of the farm hands have a sur
plus of meat which they sell to oth
ers less fortunate and provident.
"Just now we are getting three to
four dozen eggs daily from our poul
try yard" continued Mr. Wilson,’ and
these are more than we need for our
table. Then, too, we have an abun
dance of pure milk. Wo never have
coffee o nthe table unless friends we
are entertaining desire It.”
With barns filled to the roof with
corn oats and feedstuff; a smokehouse
filled with pure home-raised meat;
barrels of fine syrup, and plenty eLe
toeat, Mr. Wilson has no need to wor
ry over trust prices.

Mrs. George N. Clemson, of this city,
was married to William Edward Cross
of Chester, Pa., ot the Clemson home.
There were 390 guests, including many
from New York and Brooklyn. The
bride's assistants also wore Japaneso
costumes she recently brought from
Japan.
The wedding dinner was served in
Japanese tearoom built for the oc

Including steam radiators, eloctrlc
lights and and Irons in the fireplace,
were gold plated. The room and fur

Thirty Japanese waiters served the
wedding dinner.
Examination is Held of
Oi Those Desiring Po
sitions in Work.
One hundred and twenty applicants
for places as census enumerators for
the work here in Sumter county were
examined yesterday by Clerk A. B.
Howard, of the Americas postoffice
and report thereon will be made to
Inspector Rickey o ftlte Third dis
trict, at Fitzgerald.
Of the applicants examined Satur
day, it is said that 35 were white men
and S3 negroes.
Of course such a large number of
applicants will not be required, and
the big bttticli will lie thinned to a
stand ere the counting begins early
In April.
Americus and the county as well
will show a decided gain in population
an Increase that will reflect most cred
Itably, when the census Is taken in
April; provided, of course, that the
count is accurately made and both
city and county get full credit at the
hands of enumerators.
It Is not known, even yet, who will
do the counting here, although other
towns, probably more alive to their
Interest, are seeing to It that capable
men are appointed.
Americus will probably “just trust
to luck” as she does In the way of
getting railroads and factories.
There is considerable speculation
as to what the population of the Third
district will be this time. The census
ot 1900, ten years ago, gave the Third
district a population of 172,253, where
as It should he 250,000 now.
A few minutes delay in treating
some cases of croup, even the length
of time it takes to go for a doctor of
ten proves dangerous. The safest
way Is to keep Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy in tho house, and at first in
dication of croup give the child a
dose. Pleasing to tako and always
cures. Sold by all dealers.
HIGHWAY TO LESLIE IS
THE FINEST OF ROADS
County Gang is Building

From Americus to Huntington, Les

of these towns and that section who
have business here.
For the "Leslie Road" like that to
Smlthvllle to Plains, to Flint River
and other sections of Sumter will

One who has not seen the progress

Christian and the large force of con

several weeks.
A streak of ruts has been transform
ed into a magnificient boulevard al
most the entire length.
This road is among the most Impor
tant in the county, penetrating a fine
agricultural section and reaches four
flourishing towns, the people of
which make Americus their market
The Improvement of this road to the
highest point was a necessity, as one
can readily see.
Beginning at the Willet place two
miles out of the city, the Improve
ment Is at once apparent.

beaten cow path that so long had

Now York, Feb. 7.—A prisoner
with engineering a hold-up and rob
bery of United tSates army captain
and then swallowing the evidence, was
tile subject of two stomach pump op
eration In a police station. Captain
George Rochfuss was held up at a
pistol’s point by two men In the early
hours. One of them scampered off
with a pear] and diamond pin from
the captain's cravat. The army man
was knocked into unconsciousness,
i but tlie scuffle attracted a policeman,
who chased the thieves. He caught
one fugitive, hut.said tlie saw his pris
oner tear the stones from 'heir setting
and cram them into his mouth. Tho
stomach pump was brought into play
to roeove rthe gems. It failed to have
the desired effect either on this occa
sion or wiien the operation was re
peated after the man was taken in
court with an attack of cramps.
a straight shoot of two miles Is made
The great hil beyond the Willett vnn r coil
branch has bee ncut down and the MJ11
dirt used for a “fil" in the swamp
this side.
On tothe Council place, five miles
away, is a splendid stretch of highway
of uniform width of thirty feet, level
as a floor and as hard as can be made
At this point the road gracefully
curves to the right and will be con
tlnued on to Leslie, where It connects
with tlie De Soto road
Much of the work required beyond
tho Council place has been done al
ready, and the new ‘ Leslie Road" of
fourteen miles will very soon be fin
ished.
And no road In the state of Georgia
will surpass It. Like others of Sum
ter's splendid roads it is being built
for durability, and when once com
l'loted it can be maintained at trifling
cost by the use of the split-log drag
which will keep it In perfect condi
tion.
The county commissioners will havi
a right to feel proud of this work, as
will the people of Sumter,
