GOING TO CAMP OUT
SOME TIME IN JUNE.
Vacation For Infantry Boys
Certain.
RoWENs MILL IN GREAT FAVOR
1t State Encampment Falls Through
Americas Company Viii Go 1t indie.
pendent for Week at Some Nearby
Fishing Point.

Whether or not the state troops are
ordered to encampment in June, the
Americus Light Infantry is going to
have weeks outing The soldier
boys are resolved upon this line, and
if they do not go to camp at the states
expense they will go elsewhere at their
own, and will thus enjoy a weeks va
cation.
The state eneampment may fall
through from lack .of furds, as the
amount at the disposal of Governor
Terrell for camp purposes may not be
sufficient to cover costs.
And in this event the company here
may act Independently.
With tents borrowed from the state
the Light Infantry will go to Bowen's
Mill, or other popular resort and spend
a week. All the rules of regular en-
campment will be observed, including
daily drills, guard mount, dress
parade etc. and in this manner the
soldier would receive very excellent
practice.
Such, at least, are the plans discuss
ed just at present.
Gov, Terrell is still working to the
end of having an encampment at Griffin,
as first proposed, but as there is only
$25, 900 available for this purpose the
idea may have to be abandoned as
such small sum will not send all the
states troops there. And unless all can
go Gov. Terrell will call off the en-
campment.
Ia which event the A. L. I. will
probably arrange a weeks outing at
Bowen's Mill, as suggested, where the
boys will certainly have o good time,
fishing, bathing and drilling as well,

CHURCHES OF MEXICO.
They Are Great CuriOsities From am
Archie cturaI StandnOfnt.

They Are Great CurfOsities From am
Architectural Standpoint.
From an architectural standpoint the
churches of Mexico are the most Won
derful churches in the world. Archf-
tects from all over the world have
been astonished and puzzled by the
miracles in stone. There are great
arches and domes composed entirely
of small pieces of stone cemented to-
gether. According to all the rules Of
construction, these arches and domes
could not have been built in the first
place, and in the second would not hold
together for a minute, yet they are
there and are as solid as though built
of steel
1t remained for an assayer from
Denver who had settled in northern
Mexico to solve the mystery. He cult
waited the friendship of a priest and
persuaded him to aid in his inyestiga-
tons. Together they went through the
musty records stored in the church
vaults, which run back for two or
three centuries, and there they found
what appears to be truthful and
very plausible explanation of the won
derful feats of architecture.
It was recorded that when one tier
of stone was laid about the base of the
building earth was carried and heaped
up to the level of the highest stones;
another tier was then added and more
earth piled up on each side Of it. This
process was repeated until the dome
and arches were reached. Then the
earth was rounded off to the desired
shape and the stone cemented together
on the surface of the ground. When
sufficient time had elapsed for the NOR
| tar to set and become as hard as the
stone itself, the workmen dug out the
dirt from the church, and it was ready
| for the finishing touches.
Labor must have been cheap and
plentiful in those days to perform such
a stupendous task, and there is ample
reason to believe that it was cheap and
plentiful.-Washingt Star.

DENT WORKING UP INSURANCE.
Americas Man Under Assumed Name
Does Well.

The Times-Recorder received yester.
day morning copy of the Redding,
Cal. Free Press, containing an extend
ed account of the arrest of J, T.
Dent, formerly of Americas but who,
it is alleged, was doing an excellent
business at Reddlng under the assum-
ed name of IS. w. benson" and Living
at a fine hotel.
Dent, alias benson, had sidestepped
the piano business and was engaged in
writing insurance and selling sewing
machines.
He arrived at Redding April 14th.
with his wife and child and had apart.
ments at the Golden Eagle hotel,
where he registered as s. W. benson
Dent represented the Northwestern
Mutual Life of Milwaukee, and being
slick talker was doing a fine insur-
ance business, and letting go sewing
machines as well.
1t is not known here whether he
Implicated" the notes given for ma
chimes as it is charged he did with nu-
merous notes given for pianos and or
gans sold while in Amerious,
At all events Dent benson was
coming cash when he was confronted
by Judge j. A. HIxon.
IL is said that the moment 'Dent-
benson" saw Judge Hixon he greeted
HIM remarking, its all up with me, and
I expected it, Dent told the reporters
that he had plenty of money when he
reached California IN April. He as
serts, it is said, that his manipulation
of notes here Melted him only $4,000,
or some such amount.
Dents wife called on HIM after his
arrest and both wept copiously.
The officers there will claim the re.
ward of $3.50 offered for DENTS arrest
Sheriff Bell expects wire from Depu
ty Gatewood today announcing his
arrival at Sacramento, where he must
go to serve the requisition papers and
then go for Dent-Denson at Reddipg.
Deputy Gatewood left Americas just
one week ago today.
1t will probably be June 8 III. or 10th.

PAINTING THE WORLD.
Indian Legend of the Way Sprfn
Came Into Existence.

Indian Legend of the Way Spring
Came Into Existence.
Once, long before there were men in
the world, all the earth was covered
with snow and Ice.
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas; white and frozen lay the
plains. The mountains stood tall and
dead, like ghosts in white gowns.
There was no color except white in all
the world except in the sky, and 1t was
almost black At night the stars look
ed through it like angry eyes.
Then God sent the spring down into
the world-the spring with red lips and
curling yellow hair.
In his arms he bore sprays of apple
blossoms and the first fowers-crocus,
anemones and violets, red, pink, blue,
purple, violet and yellow.
The first animal to greet the spring
was the white rabbit. The spring
dropped a red crocus ON his head, and
ever since then all white rabbits have
red eyes.
Then the spring dropped a blue VIC
let on a white bird, the first bird to
greet the spring, and that is the way
the bluebird was made. Ever since
then it is the first bird to arrive when
the spring comes down from heaven.
So the spring went through the world.
Wherever he tossed the leaves from
| his fragrant burden the earth became
green. He tossed the blossoms on the
frozen seas, and the ice melted, and the
| fish became painted with all the tint
of his flowers. That is the way the
trout and the minnows and the salmon
became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow to the spring. SO their SUBMITS
remain white and dead, for they would
let the spring paint only the sides.
The snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears fed from the
spring, so they, too, remain white to
this day.

Mr.. MATHIS IS SOON
To MAKE A COUNT,
Of Those of School Age In
City.
CENSUS IS SOON TO BE TAKEN.
Americas VIII Show Big Lead In
School Population Over Figures of
Five Years Ago. Attendance Now
Is Very Good Indeed.

supt. j. E. Mathis has received from
the Census Bureau the necessary
blanks for taking the school census of
Americas, and Immediately after the
commencement exercises are con clud-
ed June 10Th. the task of counting the
Iistle and young folks in Americus, be-
tween the ages of six and eighteen
years, will begin.
And the result is awaited with a
great deal of expectation by those in
terested in the growth of the city, and
who feel that comparison with the CEN
sus of 1898 will be favorable.
Amerieus population has increased
considerably in five years.
The census of 1898 gave the city a
school population of 2,O69, of which
719 were whites aad 1,349 .colored. OF
course that entire number did not at
tend the city schools, by several hun
dred, but that many children of school
age resided here, and could have at
tended the schools had they so desired.
There are several hundred more
children here now than five years ago,
and the school population may even
exceed $500.
At present there are are 1900 pupils
attending the public schools.
Many parents, perhaps, are not able
to send their children to school, the
great cost of books probably being a
hinderance, among others. But in fu
ture there will be no books to buy, the
Board of Education owning the books
and renting them at nominal cost,
which plan meets with the greatest
favor.
In fact, the plan now in vogue i'm
poses very heavy burden. One citl-
zen, the father of six children In
school, told the Times Recorder yes
terday that there were, piled up at his
home, a wagon load of school books,
many of them almost new, which he
had to buy, OF course, and which are of
no value to him whatever.
But under the very excellent plan
just adopted by the school board there
will be no more of this heavy annual
expense upon parents.
It seems also to be the idea of the
Board of Education, in the election of
teachers in future, to give preference
to young ladies, graduates of the
schools and desiring teachers places,
over married ladies who have other
means of support. This policy OBJ
tains in other cities, and it seems to be
the plan to adopt it here now.
Supt. Mathis and the Board of Edu-
cation are very highly pleased with the
splendid success attained during the
term now ending. This, of course, is
due in large measure to the excellent
management and executive ability of
Supt. Mathis, and with the addition of
a manual training course, as proposed,
this success will be increased.
Nothing would be more conducive
to the education of the mind and hand
alike, and the nominal cost would be
nothing as compared with the magni.
fcent results thus obtained.
