THE CITIZENS TO CONTRIBUTE.
To Fund For the Relief of Former
Chief Smith.

A number of kindly disposed and
sppreciative citizens of Americas have
inaugurated, voluntarily, plan for
the relief of former Fire Chief Smith
and his most excellent family, and
everyone who appreciates the good
work done by him in years past may
contribute to their needs now.
And every citizen of Americas Is in
cluded in this long list.
It Will be remembered that Chief
Smith lost the sight of one eye while
in the discharge of duty, and since
that time his other eye, through sym
pathY or other cause, has become
sightless as well.
Mr.. Smith is now totally blind and
unable to do little if any work, He
has a dependent family, devoted
wife and two little children, and it is
in their behalf as we'll as his that the
good people of Americus will be asked
to evidence their appreciation of his
past work.
The city council, too, will be asked
to make contribution commensurate
with services rendered by Mr.. Smith
while for years an employe of the city.
A committee will call tomorrow upon
citizens and business men to the end of
raising fund for the relief of this
family, the contributors TO assemble at
the courthouse later and arrange for
the Investment of the fund raised to
the best advantage. These will govern
entirely the money contributed.
No appeal in behalf of this cause will
have to be made to the charitable and
patriotic people of Americus.

ELECTION DAY DRAWING NEAR.
Yet Candidates Seem Shy About
Breaking the Ice-Election Takes
Place Next Friday and Candidates
Must Be In Hurry.

The able voter who grasps the
Times-Recorder this morning with
the fond expectation of seeing a long
list of aldermanlc announcements will
be up against sad proposition. A
force of printers stood waiting last
night to "set up" the announcements,
but when at late hour the candidates
came not at all they sadly shipped the
Pickering tallow dips and went home.
1t is considered rather remarkable
that no one has announced for the va
cancy, and it really seems that for
once in the history of Americus the
Office must seek the man. However,
as the election does not occur until
next Friday there is yet time for the
boys to make up a lively race. And
the Times Recorder stands ready to
tell the voters and the universe of your
noble aspirations, should you desire
to try for the vacancy on the alderman
ic board.

CLOSE CALL IN a MIL CREEK
Driver and Team Swept Away By the
Flood.

Mr.. G. B. Gilmore reached Ameri-
GUS at o'clock yesterday morning,
soaked to the skin and leading dis
abled team as the result of a thrilling
experience few hours before at Park,
ers' Mill, two or three miles north of
the city and where he had a close call
for his life.
An attempt to ford raging torrent
cansed the trouble.
At this point the public road crosses
the mill stream at ford. The deluge
of rain in the afternoon had changed
the usual placid little mill creek into a
raging torrent.
But Mr.. Gilmore did not know this.
It was as dark there in the swamp as it
was here in Americas without lights,
and when Gilmore drove the horse in
to the creek the animal and buggy was
swept away like handful of corks and
were wellnigh lost.
By kerculean effort Mr.. Gilmore cut
the harness and freed the horse, which
swan ashore. He then succeeded in
landing the buggy, and reached town
FIVE hours afterward.
The team was saved at the risk of
Mr.. Gilmore's life, as the horse other
wise might have been drowned. In
his efforts to get out of the water Gill
more lost a fine pistol and $50 in mon
ey from his pockets. The ride WAS G
costly and dangerous one alike.
Mr.. Gilmore reached The Windsor
at a m. where he was given dry
clothing and made comfortable.
