"OLD GUARD STILL
ON ROLL OF STATE
Like Veterans Old Com
pany [ Drilled
THE INSPECTION Is SATISFACTORY
Local Military Men Hope, Since the
Ordeal Last Night Troops
Made d Very Excellent
Showing.
THE INSPECTION Is SATISFACTORY

Again has Company l., Fourth Reg
iment, the Americus Light Infantry,
lined up for the ordeal of official in
spection and stood the test like veter-
ans. The inspection was made yester-
day afternoon and night, and apparent
ly proved entirely satisfactory.
OF course this is not known to be
true, the members Of the board givin g
out no intimation TO that effect, but the
soldier boys feel confident that they
did quite as we'll as expected.
Inspector Obear, for the state, and
Captain John NJ Morgan, U. S. A. for
the Government, made the inspec-
ton
The inspection of armory, arms and
equipment was made in the afternoon,
when each soldiers locker was found
in the pink Of condition with his uni
form in place, mis- rifle bright and
clean, and other accoutrements beside
it and ready for instant use
This inspection of quarters seem ed
all that could be desired.
At o'clock last night the Light In
fantry, forty strong and wearing the
khaki uniform, passed in review be-
fore the military board, and for two
hours thereafter was put through the
tactics.
Captain Van Riper has c1use to feel
proud of the seemingly excellent ex-
hibit made by his command. He has
worked untiringly for months to the
end Of having the company in good
trim, and the veterans" in the ranks
and recruits of a month did we'll.
After the inspection, Colonel Obear
and Captain Morgan left for Perry, and
not until their official report is turned
in to the department will the COM
pany know the result.
AS compliment to the soldier boys
a tempting collation. of delicious bar
| becue, celery and coffee was served
| last night in the prettily decorated
drill hall, and the boys did ample
ustice thereto. Capt. Schroeder pre-
pared the cue. Twas the work of a
past master.
The A. L. I. is thus out of the woods
and will long continue the strong right
arm of our city and county.

Pittsburg, March 22-The Chicago
Limited from New York for Chicago
on the Pennsylvania line, while going
about 80 miles. an hour, was wrecked
early Friday at Stewart, Pa, about
IT miles east of here. The engine
and the first five cs<s were dera1ed.
but no one was hurt. The passen-
gers were transferred to the three
rear cars and continued on their jour
ney. Among The passengers on the
trian was Tom l.. Johnson, Mayor of
Cleveland.

The city council again wrestled with
the awning problem, a very vexed one
by the way, at the meeting night or
two since. Mr.. Neon Buchanan desired
to build a metal awning in front of his
store on Lamar street, from which a
wooden awning was but recently re-
moved, and by a close marginal vote of
four to three the permit was granted
Immediately thereafter a resolution
was presented which precludes in
future the erection upon any paved
sidewalk, of an awning of any character
with supports resting upon the granite
curbing This is the kind of awning
Mr.. Buchanan desires to erect, and he
will scarcely be debarred therefrom
now inasmuch as permit to erect it
was granted him five minutes previous
to the adoption Of the prohibitory reso-
luton. If council really has any we'll
defined policy regarding the erection of
awnings, it may possibly be expressed
in the resolution referred to.

SHEFFlELD Is NAMED
PRESIDENT OF BOARD
Meeting of Directors Last
Night.
ELECTION IS MADE UNANIMOUS
Election of Other Officers is Deferred
tor PreSent--Mr. SheffleId's $ Se-
lection is Deemed Most
Excellent One.
ELECTION IS MADE UNANIMOUS

1t Is now President Frank Sheffield
o the Americus Board OF Trade. Such
was the result of the meeting last night
OF the recently elected board of direc-
tors. No other name for the respon-
slble position Of honor was presented
TO the meeting, and the election of Mr.
Sheffield was made unanimously and
amid enthusiasm.
Captain John A, Cobb presided as
temporary chairman, with Mr.. Chales
M. Council as temporary secretary of
the meeting. The business before the
body was quickly consummated
After the election of President Shelf
field the board of directors, after ac-
ceptlng an Invitation kindly extend
ed the Board of Trade by Rev r. l..
BlvIns of Furlow Lawn Ba ptist church
to attend services there on Sunday
adjourned until Monday.
At this meeting on 25th inst. further
organization will be perfectel and a
ylce-president and secretary elected.
No more satisfactory selection could
have been made for the presidency Of
the Board of Trade than that of Mr.
Frank Sheffield. He bringz to that i'm
portan$ position reputation for pro.
gressiveness and devotion to tfe bus
mess interests Of Americus that will at
once inspire confidence in the entire
community.
Mr. Sheffield is a native of Amqericus.
is acquainted with all of its peculiar
business conditions and with its needs
as centre of trade. He has had the
benefit of a long connection with its
commercial and financial interests, and
will know exactly along what line the
operations of the Board OF Trade should
be continued to make it an important
agency in the Upbuilding of the city.
Like his predecessor in the presiden-
cy Of this trade body, Mr.. Sheffield is
well known throughout the State. His
election as executive head of the Board
of Trade insures the retention of the
prominent position to which that or
ganization has already arisen in Geor7
gia-
Mr.. Sheffield has been for years an ar
dent advocate of good roads and other
progressive movements calculated to
advance the interests of Sunater county
and of Americas, He has well defined
ideas as to the best methods of publ
city and can be relied on to devote his
energies to keeping Americas well to
the front.
Tine foundations for future good
work have been we'll laid under the
able presidency of Mr.. l.. G.. Council,
who declined reelection to either the
directorate or presidency. Mr.. Coun-
Gil gave considerable time to the work
of establishing the Board of Trade and
is entitled to large share of credit for
the present high standing of that
body.
While he declined to remain in an
official capacity he will give the Board
of Trade the benefit of his experience
hereafter and will be found among its
hardest working memb bers.

Cheerful,

One of the most promising of the
new Democratic members elected to
the Sixtieth congress is Hon. w. +.
Ashbrook of the Seventeenth Ohio dis
trict He is young. handsome and
capable. Withal he is an optinist. and
optimism goes long way i'm this
world. Recently Brother Ashbrook
was interviewed by the Washington
Post and talked in this CHEEKY manner:
1.-The next senator from Ohio is likely
to be Judge Judson Harmon of Cincin-
natl said Representative w. p. Ash
brook of the Seventeenth Ohio district
formerly represented by Mr.. Smyscr
This Is because the Democrats are more
than likely to carry the next state legis-
lature, he went on. The Republicans
have aiority of only three members
In the house of representatives and this
will be reduced to majority of one. Car
mi Thompson. formerly speaker. was
elected secretary of state last year He
will be succeeded by Republican. p. w.
Baldwin of Auglaise county who has
been appointed member Of the board of
public works is likely to be succeeded by
Democrat. w. s. Stevens of Clermont
county died and will be succeeded by a
Democrat My successor will be Demo-
crat. Thus the majority is reduced to
enc. In the senate tie Democrats have IL
majority of one. If the two houses come
together on joint ballot at any time. they
will therefore be tied. II the Democrats
don't make enough out Of the Foraker
Taft sauabble to elect enough additional
Democrats to the Legislature to enable
them to choose senator, l miss my
guess.
Hon. Thomas r. Crittenden, ex-rep-
resentative in congress. ex-governor
and ex-cOnsul general to Mexico, has
declared for Governor johnson of
Minnesota for president. Just what

Bread and Wine.

History has strange way of re
peating itself. Revolutions have been
caused before now by a rise in the
price Of bread. and it begins to look Il
little as If there may come a revolution
in France from the price Of wine. It's
fight by the natural wine" makers
against the artificial wine" makers
Any movement that can collect to-eth-
er 100000 people on short notice must
be of far reaching consequence. espe-
claily among people so mercurial and
emotional as the French The hero OF
this wine crusade. Marcelline Albert
