The first of April witnessed the us¬

features of the day was the sad
plight of some of Mansfield’s young
folk who tok a long walk down this
way expecting t ride back home on
the new train. Upon arrival here
they learned that they would have
to pay to ride. Not having the
wherewith to ride, they sadly faced
about and counted cross-ties all the
way back home, a sadder, but wiser
lot.

LEADING WILSON SUPPORTER
SAYS UNDERWOOD WILL WIN
Hon. W. T. Lane, of Americus, sev¬
eral times a member of the legisla¬
ture from Sumter county, a well
known lawyer and a strong Wilson
supporter, has practically given up
the fight in Georgia, and now express¬
es the opinion that Underwood will
carry the state.
Mr. Lane has taken a prominent
stand in politics in his section, gets
around considerably over his congres¬
sional district, and his judgment can¬
not be questioned.
He says “Georgia may, and proba¬
bly will, follow the example of Ala¬
bama, and declare for Underwood.”
Here is Mr. Lane’s statement, in
which he makes this interesting ad¬
mission as it appeared in Wednes¬
day’s Americus Times-Recorder.
“I believe Wilson is the best candi¬
date, in the sense that he is most
j ' likely pie,’’ said to be W. a winner Lane, before the well-known the peo
T.
attorney yesterday, “but I am free to
confess that while I will support Wil¬
son, the outlook favors Underwood
in this entire section of the state, and
probably throughout the state. I can
readily appreciate that the Under¬
wood sentiment is developing
strength rapidly. But while Georgia
may, and probably will, follow the ex¬
ample of Alabama and declare Under¬
wood to be its preference, I am still
free to say that I believe that Wilson
is the most available candidate for
the party to nominate. Underwood is
a man of fine capacity and undoubted
experience and ability as a political
leader and statesman, but I cannot
believe that the north is yet willing
to accept a southern man. It seems,
though, that he will have some sub¬
stantial backing in the convention.
Georgia looks very much like sending
an Underwood delegation.”
Washington.—The record of the
United States during the last 125
years in the way of game protection is
summarized in a publication Just pre¬
pared by the biological survey, depart¬
ment of agriculture. The department
keeps close track of game laws passed
by the different states and of how
they work, so that It can generally tell
an inquirer in a moment whether a
proposed law is good or bad, because
some state has tried it.
The new book notes that the Eng¬
lish sparrow was protected by law
for many years after it was brought
to this country, and even in the Dis¬
trict of Columbia until 1899, fourteen
rears after the establishment of the
biological survey, which is charged
with supervision of the federal game
protection laws.
