New Madison Easily Defeated
BY the Richmond High

STARS AND EACH WAS CREDIT

RICHMOND 80; NEW MADISON

RICHMOND 80; NEW MADISON o.
In a one sided game Richmond high
school defeated a rural route team
from New Mad son, O., Saturday af-
ternoon on RI ield. The score was
80 to 0. The New Madison outfit out
weighed the locals but what the Buck
eyes did not know about the game
could be told in a series Of nine vol
umes. r. II. 8. was reinforced by AL
lison and Haas, the two star players
of the local school, who have been out
of the game for some time. Richmond
made six touchdowns against the visi-
tors, Allison and Haas each being
credited with three. The playing of
these two promising lads was the dis
tinct feature Of the decidedly uninter-
esting game. The wonderful r. H. S.
shirt was once more manifested
about forty students were present,
thirty of them being girls. Manager
Clements states that there was not
enough money taken in at the gate to
pay for court-plaster for the injured.
Young Carl Allison played a brill
liant game for the locals. He carried
the ball by long end runs and spec
tacular line bucks. His defensive
play demoralized the attack of the
sive game.
Failed on All Chances.
At the opening of the game New
Madison kicked off. BY good end
runs and line attacks. Allison carrying
the ball four-fifths OF the time, Rich
mond was within striking distance of
the visitors goal in three minutes
Allison was then sent over for a touch
down. He failed to kick goal. 1t can
be stated here that out Of the six
chances Richmond had to kick goal
every one was a failure. After the
first touchdown Haas entered the
game and five minutes after making
his debut he crossed the New Madi-
son line for touchdown. Three more
touchdowns came in rapid succession
before tho close of the half, Haas
-''"'-i1g two and Allison one. In this
Richmond used the forward pass
h great success.
In the second half New Madison
took brace and Richmond lost many
yards by being penalized for unsuc.
cessful attempts at pulling off the for.
ward pass and as a result the locals
only made one touchdown in this half
Allison getting away with a thirty
yard sprint for a touchdown. Sum.

HUDSON
GONE TO NORFOLK
To Look After Sale of
Georgia Building.

Commissioner of Agriculture I. e.
Hudson has gone to Norfolk for the
purpose of selling the Georgia build
ing at the Jamestown Exposition. The
Georgia building is replica of Bull
loch Hall and attracted wide atten-
ton at the Exposition. For the past
few weeks the building has been
practically closed. The perishable
goods in the Georgia exhibit will al
so be disposed of.
1t is believed by Commissioner Hud-
son that he can get the most returns
from the sale by being on the ground
and making bargains personally. 1t
is not expected that more than a
third of the cost of the building and
exhibits can be realized at the sale.
Commissioner Hudson, however, takes
the view that the exhibit has been of
very great material advantage to
the state and that this many times
repays the State for the expenditure.
State Geologist Yates has also gone
to Norfolk and will pack up the min
eral displays. The exhibits brought
back will be stored on the third floor
of the Capitol building at Atlanta.

BABIES IN BIG BLOCKS
BAWL AT THE BAZAR
Baby Bellies and Beaux in
Abundance.

Had Teddy r. been a casual butter
in at the baZar here yesterday his
opinion respecting race suicide would
have been subject TO immediate revis-
ron. Americus will have none of it,
and she produced the goods yesterday
to back up this assertion.
1t was the occasion Of the annual
baby show, and the output of the
twelVemonth bore indisputable evil
dence that we do not coincide with
the President regarding race diminu-
ton
For the babies were there, barrels
of them. in best bib and tucker and
each one predicted prize winner,
The bawl opened with entries for
Exhibit A. vintage of 1907, one to six
months old, and a full score constitu
ted the lineup The pink-eared, pug
nosed, pampered pets occupied the
stage, and just such galaxy of beauty
has never faced an audience.
Then the judges went down the
line in fairly good style.
There were Messrs. ]. c. Carter and
E. Fl. Crawley, each the head of a
house full of his own and pastmasters
in sizing up the fine points of a
youngster The third Judge was Mr.
Charles Parsons, whose experience
thus far is limited to casual observa-
tion.
Youth sits lightly upon his should
ers, and he still wore his own hair.
While the negro nurses throttled
and joshed the seething, foaming ex-
hibits the judges pondered.
Then the deck was cleared and EX-
hibits b. and G. brought to the front
in their order. These had developed
greater lung power than possessed by
the first bunch of beauties; being six
months to one year old, and from
that interesting era to two years of
age.
Then the judges took another skate
on thin ice
When the three awards were made
the prize winners were announced as
Master Henry Macarthur, Master
Harry Jacobs and Miss Mamie Kiker
Applause followed the announce
ment, the judges in the meanwhile
descending by the fire escape to sad
died steeds held in the courtyard.
Hon. E. A Nisbet in happy vein
then presented the prizes, first abb
solving himself from any connection
with the affair except that of orator
He had he declared, been guilty of
perhaps every follw of youth except
that of Judging a baby show, and
never would it be his fate.
He congratulated the happy and
exultant mothers of the dear and dain-
ty little prize winners. and poured
balm upon the hearts of hundred
others who. though less fortunate,
held their cherubs none the less dear
Just because three male beings could
not distinguish merit.

TICKET A POPULAR ONE.
SUCH THt OPINION
Voters to Give it Hearty
Support.

Just one week from today is the
aldermanic primary, the most i'm
portant one held in long while and
the result of which will be watched
with greatest interest, not only by
the candidates, as might be expected,
>but by the taxpayers, also.
The city's financial condition at
this time would seem to justify this
generally expressed opinion.
And the result of the election, there
fore, is matter of moment.
There are now eight announced
candidates for the three places to be
filed and each aspirant feels confl-
dent of making landing. Five or
the candidates are new aspirants,
while Nthree, Messrs. Bolton, Sher-
lock and Borum, are asking for re-
election.
DR.. P. H. Bahnsen, Messrs. T. L.
Cranberry, Lee Allen, c. NJ Eldridge
and George M. Rodgers are the new
aspirants for the honors to be dis
tributed, Messrs. Rodgers, Allen and
Eldridge constituting the Citizens
Ticket as announced by massmeetiIg
The ticket is very strong one, It
strikes a popular cord among voters
generally, and that it will be cordially
supported as a whole at the primary
Wednesday is universally conceded
The full ticket will be voted by hun
dreds of citizens
In the meantime the registration of
voters goes on slowly.
AS a rule from 700 to 500 votes are
cast in a primary here, and with the
great interest now manifested full
vote is expected.
The registration books close finally
Saturday night next, and only those
registered can vote in the primary.
If not registered, do SO without delay.
The payment of last years city taxes
is the only requisite.
Many citizens have come here this
year to reside, and of course the pay
ment of taxes yet is not required OF
them in order to register and vote. IL
you have lived one year in the State
and six months in Americus, you are
entitled to register.
Get your name upon the list With
out delay, and vote in the primary
election next Wednesday.

Grubstake Gets . Blow.

San Francisco. Cal.-Thc United
States Circuit Court has rendered n
decision that IN OF vital importance to
all mining communities. and which
will have n direct bearing in cases
pending In many states.
The court holds that "grubstake"
agreement. that time c-honored institu.
tion sacred to all mining men, Is not
legally collectible.
The decision is made In n case
wherein "Swiftwater Bill' Gates was
sued by Isaac l.. Marks of this city
to recover s15O.OO0 on an agreement
made by Marks and Gates In Seattle
on April 27. 1902.
The agreement was that In consider.
alton OF $1,000 paid by Marks to Gates
the latter was to transfer twenty per
cent. OF all the property which should
be acquired either by location. pur-
chase or otherwise in Alaska by
Gates.
The evidence showed that Gates
owed Marks 1.225. which was wiped
out by Marks. and Gates was given
the sum of $1,000 in cash when the
agreement was made.
Gates went to Alaska and acquired
property valued at s75O.000. out of
which Marks demanded $150.000 as
his share under the agreement.
A demurrer was entered on the
ground that the contract was so un.
just and inequitable as not to entitle
the applicant to relief. The demurrer
was sustained and the case dismissed.
An appeal was then taken.
Judge Gilbert in his decision states
that "the written contract was bar
gain made in the dark. 1t bound Gates
during his lifetime to transfer to
Marks one.fifth interest In all property
of whatever description he might ac-
quire in Alaska by whatever means.
whether by location, purchase, gift or
Inheritance, the value of which neither
party could estimate even approxi-
mately.
Judge Gilbert quotes Justice Bradley
OF Missouri in n case of a somewhat
cimilar nature. where the court says:
"He comes into court with a very
bad grace when he asks to use its ex-
traordinary power to put him in pos
session of $4,000 worth of stock for
which he only paid $50. The court is
not bound to shut its eyes to the evil
dent character of the transaction. 1t
will never lend its aid to carry out an
unconsiderable bargain. but will leave
the party to his remedy at law"

ing country. Good cows, the right kind
of feed and how to feed them are the
essentials" The West is especially
adapted to dairying from the fact that
alfalfa and sugar beets can be raised
cheaper in this country than anywhere
else and from the further fact that our

Gold Discovery Makes No Difference.

Denver.-C1aims that gold running
$2S ton and of coal OF high grade un-
derlying the rich farming lands in the
neighborhood of Semper, apparently
had but little effect on the jury which
has been hearing the condemnation
suit brought by the Farmers. Reser-

Golden the jury decided that the land
is worth $67.50 an acre, and no more,
and unless an appeal to a higher court
results in a change, the Midway Real
Of farmers who own the lands wanted
for q reservoir site, will haSe to sell
their holdings at this sum per acre.
The farmers who were parties to the
suit opposing the reservoir company
are w. r. Churchill, Frederick Wick
and William F. Smith.
These men claimed that their land is
worth at least $3.50 an acre for agricul-
tural purposes, and n few days ago,
as a result of drilling for coal, an
nounced that the drills, at depth of
something over 700 feet, had pene-
trated a blanket vein of gold ore as
saying $2S a ton. News of the find Gre
ated a mild excitement, and for few
days geological experts were busy af-
firming and denying that such a find
was possible.
Around Semper and Bloomfield,
towns nearest the supposed gold lands.
farmers began to talk in millions and
speak slightingly of the returns from
wheat and corn. Now they are all back
to the plow and the indications are that
before long If the irrigation company
carries out its plans, the gold find"
will be covered with few score feet
OF water as a reservoir site.
The farmers most concerned have
maintained that the Farmers Reser-
voir and Irrigation. Company never in
tended to build 4 ftJervoir, but was in
reality anxious ~ get possession of
the land because Of the coal beds un-
derlying it. This is denied by the
company, which states that work will
begin on a dam as soon as title to the
site Is secured.
