MAYORS GOING TO A MEETING
City Fathers of Georgia to Assemble
IN Savannah.

IN Savannah,
The mayors of several south Georgia
cities passed through Americus yester~
day going to Savannah to attend the
League of Municipalities Convention
there. Americus is not member of
the League and, although an invitation
was extended, the council here will
not be represented. Savannah is ex-
pecting large attendance at the ses-
sion and has made great preparation
for the entertainment of the officials
from her sister cities. Rates have been
given on the different railroads so that
city officials may also have their friends
visit Savannah on this occasion, and on
account of this feature and the cordial
invitation which has been extended by
the Savannah officials it is expected
that very large attendance will be on
hand during the convention.

THE SITUATION QUITE SERIOUS.
Rain Continues and Crop Prospects
Decrease.

Nine days of incessant rain was the
record for Americus and this section
up to yesterday, and the situation is
one calculated to cause no little appre-
hension. Much of the fodder crop here
is already lost, but it is to cotton that
the greatest injury is being done. Rust
and blackroot is spreading as the result
of the continued rains, while much of
the cotton is taking on rank growth
that BODIES no good. Farmers are ut
terly unable to do any work, and grass
is growing as rapidly as the cotton.
The crop prospect here will be very
materially lessened if the heavy rains
continue, and at present there is no
signs of liquid abatement.

are in favor of boodling and d
meaner inslnuation was never
uttered by any candidate for

Gratis than the above If Mr..

look up the resolutions passed
by the Randolph County Dem
ocratic Convention he would
have found the following SEN
tence. I'VE denounce corrup-

Mr.. Folk say that the above
does not denounce boodling?
No, for he knows better but he

The day after the election the lead
ing business men of Washington
thronged the white house to congrat-
ulate its occupant, and each Of them
brought a rose until Mr.. Roosevelt
found his arms full. just four
years ago great lunches of carnations
were given to President Mckinley.
Among the callers on Wednesday was
the aged widow Of General Anderson,
of Fort Sumpter fame, with a big
bunch of flowers in her hands. The
president hastened to her carriage TO
save her the trouble of alighting. The
contrast between the two was worthy
of note. Mr.. Roosevelt could hardly
have been more than two years of
age when the husband of this woman
was heroically defending the fort un-
der his command. When your eorre-
spondent first made the acquaintance
of Mrs. General Anderson she was a

are pending for the game. The o. A. c.
steadfastly refused to meet the Albany

maker.

Corvallis, and the local management
should demand it. The team is stronger
than it has ever been, and has a right
