REFUSED TO PAY a LICENSE.
Saloon Men In Macon May Appeal to
Courts.

The saloon keepers of Macon are up
in arms against the social clubs there,
which pay no license tax, and haye re-
solved to enjoln the city from collect
ing the April installment of the license
tax, amounting to $3.50 for each bar.
The ground of their complaint is that
the clubs are allowed to conduct bus1-
ness on election days and Sundays,
when the bars must close, and the fur
Their ground that the clubs do not have
to pay city license, while the bars pay
$500.

SPENCE WILL TEACH TROOPS.
Popular Army Officer May Be Sent
Here

Military men in Americus, as else
where, are greatly pleased at the infor-
nation that Captain r. Ell. Spence,
Thirteenth United States infantry, a
well-known Georgia boy, graduate of
West Point and hero of the war with
Spain, will be designated as the United
States army officer to be detailed to
Georgia for the purpose of assisting the
adjutant general and taking charge of
the general instruction of the Georgia
troops. Of the forty or fifty Georgians
who hold commissions in the United
States army, whose names haYe been
suggested for this detail, Captain
Spence is one of the few who fulfills all
of the necessary conditions. Captain
Spence is personally known to many in
Americas who served in his regiment
in Cuba, and these especially are
pleased at the prospective appoint
ment.

THIS PRISONER MOST POPULAR.

Delighted Audience Will See Prison
er of Zenda.
Indications point to q large audience
at the opera house tomorrow night
when The Prisoner of Zenda will be
presented for the first time in Ameri-
Gus. Among all the romantic novels
which have been dramatized for stage
presentation, Anthony Hopes story
of '"Ihe Prisoner of Zenda," was the
first to make its appearance, and the
play that has been evolved from the
book, to judge from its ever increasing
popularity, will easily outlive Its many
competitors. Both book and drama are
matters of fiction most interesting even
to those who may not have read the
story nor beheld q presentation of its
stage version.

THINKS 1T WAS TREE POLLEN.
Suggestion of voIcani Dust Not Ac
cepted Here.

WUpLUU EIUFCs
The shower, two or three days ago,
of a yellow substance believed by
many here to have been volcanic dust,
waited from some volcano, as seems
possible, may or may not have come
from that source. Several citizens who
read the Times-Recorder's article yes
terday, and who had previously exam
Ined the strange substance, express
the belief that it was pollen from the
oak and elm trees here. The ''ehow-
err was general over the state, it seems,
and whatever the substance may have
been it provokes lively discussion,

THINKS ACREAGE is SMALLER.
Less Cotton and More Corn is Being
Planted

Planted.
"You can safely state that the corn
acreage in Sumter county this year will
be increased 90 per cent over the acre
age last year, while less cotton will be
planted" said prominent supply man
and close observer Of the farming stu
alton here, to the Times Recorder yes
terday. Continuing, the supply man
gave it as his opinion that, instead of
an increase in cotton acreage, there
would, quite likely, be even less cot.
ton planted here this year. The high
price of meat and corn, coupled with
the scarcity of labor, will result in
much land lying idle this year. He
told of farmers of his acquaintance
who did not have sufficient help to keep
all their plows gong. The high price
of corn is inducing many here to in
crease the corn acreage this year

THINK PRICES MAY BE BETTER

Supply is Less Than at This Time a
Year Ago.
While the cotton season in Americus
is pretty we'll over, there are those who
profess to believe that we have not yet
seen the highest prices of the season.
The leading bulls appear confident that
the cotton market is steady with strong
tendencies to extreme prices. The
visible supply is lower than it has been
at this time of the season in over
twenty years, compared TO the con.
sumption of American cotton. The
present visible cotton Will not supply
the mills thirteen weeks, which con-
dition has not occurred since 1879,
when spot cotton sold in New York for
10 cents. The mills are thought to be
off for drop in price.

REBUILDING OVEN AT BAKERY.
Extensive Improvements Are Being
Made There.

When Barney Ball, several years
ago, had the great brick oven at his
bakery rebuilt he thought it would do
for generation, but increasing trade
has already rendered the building of a
new and costly oven imperative. Skill
ed artists are now at work upon it, but
the task will not be completed before
Monday. No baking can be done this
week, but the supply of bread on hand
may be sufficient though this will not
be sent out by wagon as usual. Mr..
Ball expects to have his bakery in fine
condition in few days.

THE ART OF TAKING

Ebert Hubbard, Cf the long hair and seSquipedalian vocabulary has re- fused to accept a million dollar gift The gift, according to Hubbard, was rendered by John Farson, of Chicago, as an endowment for the Roycroft In dustrial university. Fra Elbertus' de- clined the gift, he says, because the university is 10 be seIf-sustaning.
 It would he a rather remarkable in cident but that it wants the cOrrobo- ration Of Mir. FarsOn. whose memory has played Fra Elbertus scurvy trick in that he retains no remem- brance of having rendered the million to Hubbard FaTson admits that he has the million and that he is willing to bestCw it on a worthy object. Last spring ar enterprising reporter offered this million of MT. Parsons for a model servant girl, and when Farson heard of it he offered to make good. Of course the million was never claim ed. It might have been this that prompted Fra Elbertus 'tc permit his attention to wander from the main chance long enough co decline a mil lion.
