$500 WISHED KISSES.
Babies Too Numerous for Gen. Booth
and He Waved His Hands Instead

LONDON, July 23.-How to kiss a
mile of babies was the problem facing
Gen Booth, head of the Salvation Army
on arriving at Rushden, in the course
of an automobile tour of England. He
had, few days previously, done a
lot of baby kissing at the Crystal
Palace, and mothers with their babies
from large area around Rushden
flocked thither to intercept him.
1t is estimated that $500 lined up.
Gen. Booth, however, baked, and
dreading the result of invidious dis
tinction, kissed none, saying smilingly
that he would wave hands at them
instead The disappointed mothers
took their unkissed progeny home, un-
comforted by Gen Booths cherry con-
graduation that there was no race
suicide in Northhamptonshire.

Every Citizen Should Qualify Himself to Vote on the
Bond Issues.
TAXES / 900 FAVORABLE VOTES TO CARRY FLFCTION
Two Great Public Measures viii Hang in the Balances August I5
All FaOring Agricultural College and Fine System of Well Graded
County Roads Should be Prepared TO Vote in
Favor of Them.

Counting today you have but six
days in which to register and qualify
to vote at the election on August Is,
when the question of issuing bonds to
the extent of 100000 will be passed
upon by the voters of Sumter coun-
ty.
Tax Receiver I. B. Small stated
yesterday that there are but few new
names being added to the list There
are doubtless a number of men in
Americus who can qualify to vote
at the approaching election if they
will only do so. A few minutes time
is NIL that is required. There is no
loss of time at the court house. The
|actual registration can be done inside
of minute at any time of the day
AS is generally known, there are
two proposed bond issues, each for
$4,000. One is to pay for the Dis
trict Agricultural College. The hon
or and the interests of Sumter are
indissolubly interwined with this
bond issue and it is difficult to be-
lieve that any one will vote against
it.
The other issue is $4,000 for road
improvements. 1t is prosposed to
bring all of the roads of the county
to a proper level, grade them in good
shape, and have them so constructed
that hereafter the chain gang, with
the ordinary expenditures for the pur-
pose can keep all of the roads of Sum-
ter in good shape

To Fix Price of Cotton.
The convention of the Farmers I'm
ion was largely attended and Of a
most enthusiastic nature. Every por-
ton of the State was represented and
great interest manifested in the re-
ports. The Union, it was shown, is
growing rapidly and is in position TO
accomplish considerable good if The
members stick. 1t was decided that
it was within the province, and part
of the function. of the Union to fix
the price of cotton and of cotton
seed. Members generally expressed
the belief that prices would be favor
able to producers this fall and win
ter and that Georgia farmers have a
prosperous season ahead of them
To Found New Town.
1t is reported that a large district
near Atlanta is to be laid out espec-
tally for manufacturing purposes and
that city on an industrial foundation

To Back Up Pritchard.
Great interest is manifested nj poll
tical circles here in the existing diff
culties in North Carolina between the
State and Federal courts. Advices re-
ceived here this afternoon from relia-
BILE Washington sources are to the eff
feet that the administration at Wash
ington will sustain Judge Pritchard
of the Federal court, in his stand
and that it is the impression at Wash
ington that the State authorities will
be compelled to recede from their
present position and acknowledge the
right of the Federal courts to inter-
vene in such cases. The national ad-
ministration is understood to have
gone carefully over the situation and
to have reached the conclusion that
the dignity of the Federal authority
must be sustained and the orders OF
the Federal courts be backed up by
the full power of the administration il
necessary.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-07-24

This naturally commends itself to
every farmer in the county. A com
plete system of we'll graded roads, kept
up in good condition, means more to
the farmers than to any other class
of citizens. At the same time every
man in Sumter will be benefited as
the welfare. of the towns is necessarily
bound up with that of the farmers. 1t
is not believed that any opposition
to speak of will be shown to this road
improvement bond issue.
1t takes a two-third favorable vote
of all registered voters to carry. the
bond issue. Each issue will be voted
on separately. A thousand votes will
probably be sufficient to carry either
or both of the bond issues. There are
now about 1900 whites and 400 ne
groes qualified to vote on this ques-
ton. Probably hundred may be dis
qualified when the list is purged. This
would leave 1900 qualified voters. If
900 turn out and vote favorably on
August Is the bond issues will be le-
gal.
Americus has about 500 voters, it
is understood, but there are always
many voters out of town in August.
Americus should contribute at least
500 votes toward the carrying of the
election. This would leave but 500
for the remainder of the county.
1t will take work to get the vote
out. Every voter should do his duty
and go to the polls.

it is enjoying substantial growth
over the entire South.
At the meeting on Monday night
State President B. f. Brimberry will
be aguest of the lodge. He will deli
yer an address on the principles and
work of the order that will undoubt-
edly be of interest not only to the
members of the order but to the
friends who will be present as their
guests.
1t is also hoped to have Mr.. F. w.
Alexander of Oak Grove, Va, pres
ent Mr. Alexander is special deputy
from the National Camp, 81 said to
be an eloquent talker, and especially
so on the order 1t will probably be
ascertained today whether he can get
to Americus for the meeting.
Afte rthe talks there will be re-
freshments and general social ses-
sion. A number of Americus men
will be invited to attend the meeting
