lutely necessary to overcome the handi-

tain the team thus far has shown
more of those desirable qualities than
did the team last season.
Coach Curtis, in speaking of the Wis.
consin team at the present time, said.
'"The men do not jump to their places
fast enough when the play is given and
are not Furnishing themselves the way
a football player must when gaining
condition early in the year They are
working hard enough. but not fast
enough, and go at the game in too
methodical manner"
The discrepancy in weight this year
will be in the line. and particularly in
the tackle positions, both tackles bein.
lighter thar these of last year.
The general fault of the linemen is
that they play high and are inclined TO
receive their opponents attack rather
than to charge over the line of scrim-
mage at the snap of the ball.
Remp at center bids fair to prove as
strong a center as Skow, his great fault
being that he is inclined to lose his
temper in game. He is strong and
aggressive and is fairly steady in pass
ing the ball. Chamberlain at guard is
not up to his form of four years ago.

best end rushes, if not the best, of last
season, so that the ends are cared for.

gap comes in the center, where Glass.
Goss and Holt are missing. Chadwick
is gone, but Metcalf, Rockwell and
Bowman insure a formidable back
field. Every man left is in the top
flight, and the task cut out for Captain
Rafferty, is to hammer a center trio

accidents. that his eleven will be as
formidable in the important games
now approaching as that of last year.

RAISING MONEY FOR BUILDING
Success of Undertaking Here Well
nigh Assured.

That Americus will have beautiful
and substantial brick building as
home for the 7 NJ. G. A. of this city is
practically assured, in view of the fact
that the greater portion of the money
required for its erection is already SUBJ
scribed aud only about 81 900 or 81, 200
remains to be raised.
Surely the good people of Americas
will give this additional sum.
It means great deal for the city
the building of the proposed Y. NJ. c..
A. home-and. just little more hard
work, one more united effort, assures
the success of the undertaking.
AS the Times-Recorder has previous
ly stated, the local lodge is anxious to
erect a handsome two or three story
brick building, the upper floor to be
used for its own purposes while the
other can be devoted to commercial
uses at very good rental, either as
stores or offices.
And the greater portion of the money
required has either been subscribed
or is in sight.
If the Y. Nj. G. A. can get subscrip-
tions of about $1,000 additional the
building will be erected. A philan-
thropist in another city has generous
ly donated 81, 900 of the money now IN
hand, with the understanding that
Americus does the rest,
The appeal which the Association
from time to time makes to business
men is not, and ought not to be, re-
garded as an appeal of charity.
1t is, instead, the asking for an ex-
penditure on the part of those to whom
the request is addressed, as legitimate

THE TIGERITEs ARE ALARMED
Though None of Them Have Come
Across With Dough.

The Times Recorders article yester-
day relative to the action of former
Tax Collector Dunn IN issuing tax
executions against parties here indict-
ed during the past few years upon the
charge of selling liquor in violation of
the then existing LEGAL option law, was
bomb thrown in the camp.
If was the first intimation given them
of such action, and naturally they felt
little trepidatlon.
While the executions, several of them
for the sum of $500, had been placed
in the hands of Sheriff Bell for collec-
ton, none had been levied at the time,
hence the surprise manifested.
And If the executions are valid, as 1t
remains to be seen, some of the de-
PENDANTS will havs to coma across to
the amount of several hundred dollars.
There are quite number of the ffas,
and not few well known citizens are
included in the list of those who may
be thus taxed.
1t was said yesterday by well known
attorney that this step was taken at the
instance of the comptroller general, as
is done in other counties.
That is. IN ''dry" counties where the
sale of booze is charged.
And in all instances, it is said, the
parties thus aimed at are those who
either pleaded guilty to indictments
by the grand jury, or who operated
under a revenue license Issued by the
government authorities. Nearly one
hundred such licenses were issued in
Sumter county.
Parties desiring to sell liquor would
take chance Of running, the gauntlet
of the state courts, but not so witt
Uncle Sam. Hence many here, it il
said, held regular revenue licenses.
" lille the COMPTROLLER general may
hold to the opinion that such vIolator'
of the law can ba compelled to pay
state license of 5000 each, emihen
legal lights here and elsewhere hold
contrary opinion, and the cases viii
doubtless be Iitigated ere the tax fla
are paid.
At all events none of those in Ameri
Gus have given up the dough yet, pre-
ferring time for consideration if the ex
ecutions are pressed.

CHECKS TO COME IN
ABOUT TWO WEEKS,
Sumter's Old Veterans Will
Get Cash.
PAYMENTS EARLY IN FEBRUARY
Judge Allen Receives instructions as
to Payment of Pensioners In Sum.
ter. More Than a Hundred Here
Mil Get Pensions From State.

Within few days now thousands of
dollars will be paid out by Judge
Thomas NJ Allen, of the court tf ordi-
nary, TO the 100 Confederate veterans
and widows of heroes dead whose
names appear upon the honor roll of
the state of Georges, which pays an
nuslly nearly million dollars to those
who upheld her honor.
More than $6,O will thus be dis
tributed in Sumter county alone.
For some time past the veterans
have been making inquiry as to when
this annual payment of pensions would
be made, and the Times Recorder, as
usual, gives the information.
Judge Allen was advised yesterday
by Pension Commissioner James w
Lindsey that the checks for the 100
pensioners here would be made out on
February 8th thus arriving here
about the 9th. or 18th, when they will
be distributed Immediately among
those in whose favor they are drawn.
It will be q great payday at the temple,
These 1906 checks are for various
amounts, ranging from IS to $3.50,
though probably a hundred of them
are for The uniform sum of $50
Thus, between So, 900 and $1,000 will
be paid to veterans here.
This list of 100 benefclaries includes
the manned and indigent veterans,
and the widows of Confederate SOL
diers. These Spartan women get $50
each, and there are quite large num-
Der on Sumter's roll. Theirs is in
deed roll,of honor of which Georgia
is proud, and the only regret is the
meagre amount allowed.
Next to his own family Judge Allen
would rather assist an old soldier, or
soldiers widow, than anyone in the
world, and since he has been in Office
he has assisted them greatly.
Besides the vast amount of work he
has done and is still dong in keeping
the records, making out applications,
ETC. Judge Allen discovered the fact
that several old soldiers were drawing
smaller sums than they should, nnder
the law. and through his personal eff.
forts their pensions have since been
increased.
This evidences the fact that the Con-
federate veteran, one of whom he is,
stands very near his heart, as to that
of every patriotic Georgian, and it is
going TO afford Judge Allen great
pleasure to give out their checks al
the time stated.

MEETING OF COUNCIL TONIGHT.
Regular Weekly Session is Held this
Evening.

The city council meets tonight in
weekly session and will probably dis
pose of several important matters,
particularly that of the election of city
engineer and superintendent of water
works. There are two or three appli-
cants for the position, 1t Is said, aud a
decision among these may be made.
1t would seem that a property repre-
senting @an investment of $3.50 900
should be under the care of someone
competent to look after IT, and the mat
ter of filling the vacancy in that Office
should not be delayed any longer than
is necessary. Aud in view of the fact
that smallpox is almost as our doors it
would seem the part of prudence to
take some step to prevent it being
brought here or, if this is not done, to
at least have city physician to look
after any cases that might develop.
This matter will probably receive some
attention from council.
