Credit for inaugurating the move

to O. C. Johnson, who took the mat

ago before the arrival of the circus
here. The threat of the rnilrond

with Frank Lanier and others getting

To secure the shows for the winter

CIRCUS PARADE
PLEASES THRONG.
The Howe nnd Van Amburg clr*
cu.-., parade this morning was .viewed
by. the usual throng from the four
comers of the county. With a rest
here over Sunday, the circus people
were out earlier loan usual, and the
pin ado appeared down town exactly
on-time, 1U::10. So prompt, in fact,
was it that the high school pupils,
who were rifeniisscd to view It, were
late and missed it entirely. The
Izrail e met with much favorable com
ment.. Acording to the rireus man-
ngeerft, it is the longest circus pa
rade iii Amerirus this year, * being
mu* wagon longer than the Sells*
1*19,to shows, which are the second
■ .'argest and two wagons longer than
John Robinson, which is the third
nooga to attend the annual general
reunion of the United Confederate
veterans. It was a happy, though
small, hand of old soldiers that
mounted the steps of the special
vestihuled car in which the Albany
reunion party was riding, ns* tin
train stopped at the station. The
party was marshalled by General Joe
Day Stewart, commander of the
Western Brigade of Georgia, attired
in an imposing now uniform bearing
the insignia of his rank in the or
ganization. And there were numer
ous other grey uniforms, although
the delegation was not solidly clad
in the color of other days.
Maying the trip were the foHowfng
veterans: N. T. Fullford, W. P. Pe
sons, R. R. Arrington, R. A. Darden,
W. S. Moore, W. T. A. Dunn, J
B. icholson, G. M. Greene, G. H,
Walker, J. P. Chapman, T. J. Dowriun,
J. D. Stewart and J. F. Wright, all
members dt Camp Sumter except
Mr. Wright, although not all resi
dents of Amcricus. Others in the
party were Miss Mattie Lou Home,
Miss Edna Monohan, S. G. Iliad
ford, Mrs. J. L. Jeter, A. O. Murray,
Miss Ximena Bond, James W. Law,
Dr. nnd Mrs} II. A. C. Bngley and
Dr. D. A. Ilfigley.
Also going to the reunion was Wil
lis Ellison, and aged grey hnired ne

body rervalfl to a member of the
Ellison family from this section.
Proud of his "white folks" a* he re
members them long ago, Wiflis at

The women of Eliaville have lined

ATLANTA. Oct. 24.—Governor
Thomas W. Hardwick late Saturday
gave out a statement in reply to tho
editorial attack made on his admin
istration in the current issue of the
Culiimbin Sentinel, Senator Thomas
E. Watson'a paper. Governor Hurd
wck says Senator Watson's statement
is a c riticism of the legislature, which
failed to enact the reforms he 'had
urged. His statement in full fol
lows:
“Every citixen of Georgia has tho
undoubted right to freely express any
opinion with respect to any
public matter, or in criticism of any
administration, natdnal or state. The
present governor is never restless or
resentful when any citizen ckcrcii
that right.
“So far ns any important matter
is touched upon in Senator Watson's
recent statement, I take it that the
senator’s statement is not u criti
cism of me so much as ii|ion tho
legislature, as I urged upon the legis
lature the ndoptlon of the very re
forms that hi* mentions, and it in my
earnest hope thut at Its next session,
will'll practically all of its lime is
Hot absorbed in nu effffnrt to solva
the state’s financial difficulties, these
things may be accomplished. If not,
it shall not lie my fault.
"In tho meantime, I can only utgo
the senator to bo patient. I think
he will learn from his service in
Wsahingtqn that he will not bo able
to accomplish all he would Ike to
accomplish there, and that he cer
tainly will not be able to do so right
away. In liko manner the governor
of this state can only urge these re
forms upon the legislature and upon
the peopje. He is not the boss of
either.
“The present administration Is, of
course, not perfect, but it has done
the liest It could in n must difficult
situation, and I am day after day giv
ing an account of my stewardship
direct to tho people, prepared to both
justify and defend it against all
comers."

RICHLAND INN SUIT
WON BY PEOPLES BANK
RICHLAND, Oet. 24.—The Peo
ple's Bank of Riehland won a venlict
in the suit against W. C. Richardson
for possession of the Richland Inn
fcuiiding last week in the Stewart
Superior court. The bank officials
had leased the building to Will Davis,
the lease to become effective on Sep
tember I last, but Mr. Richartlson,
who has been in charge of the hotel
fer the past .two Yearn, claimed to
have made a verbal agreement with
some of the bank officials for the
ensuing year and held possession.
Bond was made by Mr. Richardson at
the time the previous year's lease
expired to guarantee rentals until
Ihc court, decided the case. Contra
ry to e.o~dst!era, the trial was
very short nnd the jury reached n
verdict quickly.'
Mr. Richardson vacated the hotel
season's sugar crop was 4.000,00y
pounds nnd of this 2,000,000 poundl^
or' one-half, remains unsold. The
price is 2c 11 pound while the crop
cost G 1-2 cents a pound to produce.
Raw sugar can bo kept Only lk
months before it goes hack to syrup.
The sugar mills usually start up in
December hilt it is prnpnsei| this
year to start them in Fchrurary nnd
run only three months instead of the
usual six. '.The cane not ground
will remain in tho fields as it will
stand for several year*.
Mr.I-avagnu said that labor con
ditions there arc very bad. No work
was done in Ihc cane fields last sum- ,
mcr nnd hundreds of laborer* have ’
been without work nearly all the year ■
moving about from place to place,
glad to work a few hourn for n meal,
where two yenr* ago they were mak
ing *20 a,day. Cuhn .lost out
through the one crop system, as the
South has lost on cotton. There were,
fine cattle range* hut they were
turned intA enne fields and the cat-
tlr killed. lings kept fat on palm
berries but the palms were cut down
nnd cane planted. Now It will re
quire 20 years for palms to come
into hearing again nnd Cubn must
buy hogs and rattle.
