WILL RAISE A FUND
TO HELP THE CITY.
Americas Can Subscribe To
Movement
LOOKING TO GREATER GEORGIA
Other Cities Are Alive to Importance
of Action Citizens Here VIII Sut-
scribe Thereto if Asked-Let Start
Be Made Without Delay.

It is q matter to be regretted that
Amerious, the queen city of southern
Georgia, has as yet taken no active
part in the movement looking to a
Greater Georgia; that while other
cities and smaller towns are actively at
work we sit supInely and wonder who
will come along to help us out of the
wellworn ruts.
The Greater Georgia movement is
gaining impetus daily, and ls- destined
to work wonders in the material pro-
gress of the state.
1t means an influx of desirable peo-
pie; those with means; who come with
money to invest in homes and lend
their aid in making Georgia greater.
And our section should desire to be
benefited.
Already the movement is going for
ward, growing greater and grander as
its success seems assured. Every pro-
gressiYe community is wide awake to
the Importance of the occasion and
will seize the golden opportunity pre-
sented. Will Americas join the pre- :
cession, or shall be remain lethargic.
Some of our progressive citizens ap-
preciate the opportunity.
They fl realize what it means for
Americus, and are willing, if joined by
others, to give of their means to this
great end.
Each community is expected to sub
scribe from $500 to $500 to this splend-
Id movement, and many have done SO
already. At least $500 should be raise /
in Americas, and this can be done by
proper effort. Where a whole com.
munity is thus benefited the people, as
whole, should pay 1t.
If such amount should be appropria-
ted by the council, the burden falls
upon all equally.
But if this is not done the money
must be subscribed by our citizens,
and without delay. Two enterprising
business men ted the Times Recorder
| yesterday that they would be two OF
five 500 to give each.
Here is the neucleus of the fund de
sired. Are there not five citizens who
will give $40 each, and twenty others
who will subscribe and $40 to
such a cause? The Times Recorder
believes that $500 can and will be rais-
ed for the purpose of illustrating our
city in the Greater Georgia movement
But the time to act is NOW. Let a
start be made tomorrow, and everyone
who gives dollar will be repaid ten.

FLASH OF KNIVES IN
A FIGHT ON AVENUE
Farmer and Negro In Mortal
Combat.
EACH REACHED FOR a THROAT.
And Dangerous Wounds Are Inflicted
MIR. John Perry and Shorty Abra-
ham Parties Engaged-5oth Sc
Verely Hurt.

Considerable excitement was created
on Cotton Avenue yesterday afternoon
from a sanguInary encounter between
Mr.. John Perry, prominent farmer
living near Leslie, and Abraham Short
er, negro character here, better known
to the police and officers as ''Shorty"
Abraham.
Both used their knives rapidly and
blood flowed freely.
The fight occurred in front of Pinks-
toms store and was witnessed by a
number of people, as the cry of fight
quickly attracted quite large crowd
there.
Mr.. Perry and Abraham were stand
ing talking upon the sidewalk at Pink
ston's, and just how the difficulty be-
gan they only know. 1t was ell over
in few seconds, the negro running
down the Avenue while Mr.. Perry was
taken to the office of DIR. Tate for sur
gical assistance.
A great crowd collected and discus
sed the difficulty.
Mr.. Perry received a bad cut on the
right cheek, the knife blade probably
penetrating to the cavity. His hand
was badly lacerated as well, Abraham's
blade cIeaving 1t almost in twain.
But in the meantime Mr.. Perry had
been busy. Abraham's cheek was LAID
open from above the left ear to the
throat, the top of his ear being cut en-
tIrely away. DR.. Thomas dressed his
wounds at the cotton yard of Parker &
Councils warehouse, taking a large
number of stitches.
Abraham got decidedly the worst enc
of the fight, though neither wound is
dangerous. The negro is already IN
der bond here on several charges.

and ability. He engaged in business
here and remained for some time, I'm
til his removal to Atlanta and thence
to New York. While in Americas he
engaged in cotton buying and also

EXCELLENT CARE OF INMATES,

The Times-Recorder yesterday re-

county commission, who states that
the complaints made therein are un-
just. Only short time ago, he said,
new mattresses and new bed linen in
abundance was provided, and should
be there still. There are no white
people at the poor farm, and the ser.
vice rendered the dozen negroes there
is perhaps far superior to that of their
own homes before they became care
