! Atlanta, Ga., May 10—]. A, 3
Henderson, president of the Ocil
ila Southern railroad, which runs
from Nashville, Ga., to. Perry,
| Ga., a distance of 110 miles, on
Monday filed with the Western

sion a proposition to extend the
‘Western & Atlantic railroad from

payment for same; he proposes
then to lease the road from the
state for fifty years at an annual
rental of $700,000 per year for the
first ten years, $750,000 per year

TROOPS MOVED SO THAT
EL PASO IS GUADED
El Paso, Texas, May 9.—Fear
of a break between the United
States and Mexico over American
troop dispositions in Mexico was
temporarily allayed tonight when,
after a three-and-a-half hour dis
cussion, the American and Mexi
can conferees agreed to hold an
other conference probably tomor
row.
Object to McQuatter’s Presence!
El ‘Paso, May O9—-The willi
drawal of A. 7. McQuatters,
President of the Alvardo Mining
and Miliing company from the
fifth conference was one of the in
teresting developments -of . the
day. McQuatters arranged the
second conference at which Gen
eral Scott and General Obregon
drew up their tentative agreement
and had been present at each sub
sequent meeting until today.
About noon Sub-secretary Am
ador called on General Scott and
informed him that the Mexican
conferees objected to the presence
of McQuatters at another confer
ence. He asserted that McQuat
ters had been a former supporter
of Huerta and later of Villa; that
because of his mining interests in
Mexico, he held interventionists
tendencies and that he had not
preserved secrecy regarding pro
ceedings at previoug conferences.

HEADY TO BE REPORTES
Leaders Are Confident That Pres
ent Amended Form Will Pass
Wshington, May 8 —With the
ntroduction in the house today
by Chairman Alexander, of the
merchant marine committee, of
‘he revised administration ship
oing bill, Democratic leaders
wvere prepared to expedite consid
cration of the measure after the
sending rural credits bill is out
of the way.
The leaders are confident the
alew bill will have tie solid sup
portof the Democrats and possib
ly some of the Republicans. It is
a combination of vdrioug shipping
bills and was drafted by Mr. Al
exander in conerence with admin
istration officials. _
Majority Leader Kitchin in an
nouncing his entire satisaction
with the bill as a result of the new
feature limiting government op
erations of vessels to five years
after the war closes, said that he
would work for it and predicted
its passage. Ship owners are al
so pleased with the change.
In the senate the bill is expect
ed to be accorded more support
than did its predecessor which
was filibustered to death last
year.
Aside from the limited opera
tion feature other changes in the
bill are relatively unimportant.
The new bill retains provisions
prohibiting rebating, wuse of
“fighting ships,” unfair combina
tions and provides for a $50,000,-
073 bond issue for the purchase
of ships. The membership.of the
shipping board is increased to
seven, to include the secretaries
of commerce and navy.

LOCALS LAND FIRST GAME
The Fitzgerald Independents
opened the 1916 season before a
record crowd and won the initial
game from the Moultrie Dixie
league club by the count of 7 to
2, fully coming up to the expecta
tions of fans. Every man on
the team did big league work and
too much cannot be said of the
work of both hurlers, Garwood
and Lariscy. Garwood allowed
nine hits in his five innings but
for the first game of the season
he did splendid work. Lariscy
finished the game with only two
safe wallops against him. As we
said some time before Lariscy
has pitched several other games
this year.
Both sides did plenty of good
work but the game was feature
less save for one pretty double
play in the fourth inning when
Garwood speared a line drive and
caught a runner off second base,
Garwood to Levisson. With the
opening game so much in our fa
vor, a brilliantly successful sea
son seems in store.
Score by innings: RHE
Moultrie 000 020 000 2 11 5
Bitzgerald 032 000 20x. 7. 7: 1
Batteries—For Moultrie, Fish
er, Wheeler and Swan; for Fitz
gerald, Garwood, Lariscy and
Monahan. Umpire: Keim.
By finishing up two games in
succession, Larry Lariscy prom
ises to put himself in the {iron
man” class. Lariscy certainly has
some stuff, too.
We take great pleasure in an
nouncing that Joe Antley has
signed a contract with the local
team and wil Igrace our mound
two gameg per week the rest of
the season. From the stuff he
showed the first five innings of
Tuesday’s game it is safe to say
he will quite a ew or us. With
Garwood and Lariscy we boast
the strongest pitching staff in the
South Georgia Independent cir
cuit.
Eastman is due to get her’s this
afternoon.
QUEENSLAND SCHOOL
HAS FINE EXHIBIT
The colored people have just
cause to be proud of their in
dustrial school at Queensland.
The past week was commence

R. J. Prentiss, Mrs. Harold Beall
and the Misses Bessie and Mino

as judges for the school were es

that filled two large clasg rooms.

effort.

MOULTRIE TAKES SECOND
In the second contest between
the Moutrie Dixie ieaguers and
the Fitzgerald Independents, Joe
Gardner grabbed the game glee
fully, not only punching nine of
the local players and rapping out
two hits besides, but giving an ex
hibition of high class vaudevilie
while he did it. The loss of the
game is a discredit neither to the
hitting nor all round playing of
the locals as we held them to two
counters while we scored one run.
If any one desireg to find who to
lay the blame for the defeat on,
let them know that it was that
peerless pitcher from the pack
ing-house place, old Joe Gardner.
Gardner was the master of ghe
situation at all times. * If you
should ask any of our batters they
will tell you that all that ig be
tween Joe Gardner and the Big
Leagues is about fifty pounde of
superfluous avoirdupois.
Joe Antley opened the game on
the mound for Fitz and pitched
some beautiful ball but as this is
his first attempt this season he
‘was a little wild so the old reli
able Larry Lariscy pitched the
last four innings. Lariscy has
'finishe(l both games so far.
Score by innings: - R HE
Moultrie 000 020 000 2 7 3

noon’s game against Eastman and
all we have to say is that we pity
the Eastman batters, The local
bunch will do their best to make
it three straights ‘this serieg amd
then take the third game of the
Moultrie series at Moultrie Sat

A big crowd ought to turn out
