Americus 'politiclans" the leaders

Foraker boomers who it is said, are get
ting in 81 little fine work for Fire
Alarm against Roosevelt. The Allan

which Is largely composed of negroes,
as is any republican body in Georgia,
is sending out circulars boosting for
the Ohio senator. Several of the let
ters, it is reported, have benn received

dicate that the johntemple movement
to renominate Roosevelt had proven
boomerang, or fallen fiat in the process
of incubation.

AMERICUS is GOING FISHING
Club Organized and Numerous improvements Will Be
Perfected

With her fishing club re-organized,
new members enrolled and hundreds
of good dollars in the treasury, Ameri-
Gus reveres the memory of Isaac Wal
ton and impatiently awaits the return
of fishable weather, when his disciples
here will get busy.
No other city in the state boasts such
a club, such splendid sporting preser-
yes, and such successful fishermen, in
Guiding the clergy, bankers, merchants,
lawyers and those in all professions
who love the art piscatorial.
For four years the Americus Fishing
Club has been one of her solid and sub
stantial organizations.
About that long ago certain enthus-
lasts of rod and reel here suggested the
permanent organization Of club and
the buying or leasing of lands or rath-
er waters, wherein to fish.
The club was duly organized, with
Mr.. Frank Sheffield, an ardent knight
of the bamboo, as first president. The
club leased for term of years the
exclusive fishing privileges of Wells
Mill, ten miles south of the city and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-04-19

famous for its fine fishing.
The pond is on the CeaBal Railway,
and has been made flag station for
the club members.
During these years great sport has
been enjoyed and the fame of the club
has waxed greater. Many have been
the fine suppers and fish dinners served
there by the club to its friends.
And the sport this season promises
to be finer than ever before. Yester-
day the club was reorganized for the
season, with Mr.. Arthur Rylander as
president and Mr.. G. 0. Loving treas
urer. A lease upon the property for a
term of years has again been effected.
A club house will be erected near the
old mill, boat house built and new
boats purchased. Thirty-fye of Ameri-
Gus representative citizens make up
the clubs membership, and these, with
there wives and friends, look forward
to many occasions of pleasure.
The club will probably inaugurate
the seasons festivities with fish din
ner of large proportions at an early date.

FISHING BEATS A HEALTH RESORT
Urbane Judge Will Try Rod Rather
Than florida.

4 Learning yesterday of the re-Organi-
pzation of the local fishing club Judge
Littleiohn, who contemplated trip to
Florida's s health resorts, has cashed in
his railway ticket and bought BAN
boo pole and balt can instead, and will
test the virtues of Wells Mill rather
than Florida sulphur springs y A
wise and just decision from an emi-
nent authority. For ten years Judge
Littlejohn has been quite successful in
landing 'black fish throughout this
judicial circuit, few escaping his net,
while his prowess with the rod in the
purling mountain streams of north
Georgia, where in summer he seeks the
coy and trusting trout, is widely
known throughout the Sautee region.
Already he has provided himself with
the regulation club regalia, consisting
OF sombrero hat, ''blue jumper" suit,
top boots, bamboo rod and bait gOurd
of ample capacity and non leaking
propensity, and his admiring friends
confidently expect him to measure up in
results with any past master who flirts
with the dominecker catfish or the coy
and wary perchlet.

Mayor Hawkins Immediately ap-
pointed Aldermen Childers, Borum
and Furlow as the committee.
1t is expected that the County Com
missioners will appoint a committee in
a few days and that three committees
together with representative of the
Directors of the College, will meet and
consider the best manner in which to
make the corner stone laying an event
of interest and importance.
fit is decided to push the matter
through, as seems very likely. it is
probable that Congressman Lewis will
request the presence of a high Off
cial of the agricultural Department at
Washington. 1t is also proposed to IN
vite the Governor, Senators Bacon and
Clay and other prominent men.

BROWN RETURNS TO THE BASTILE
Negro Caught Near AmeriCuS is Back
in the Pen.

Burt Kelly, the escaped state convict
captured by Sheriff Bell and Deputy
Fuller near Americus a few days ago,
is again in the state pen. The convict
has been living since his escape, eleven
years ago, in Sumter county, and has
been law abiding. He had assumed the
name of William Brown and was so
known to many people, none of whom
suspected him of being an escaped con-
vict for whom reward was outstand-
ing Not long ago, however, the
authorities of Sumter county were in
formed as to the real identity of the
man, and he was forthwith captured.

NO CRUELTY TO CONWCTS
system in Georgia is Ably Discussed BY the Savannah
News

The notoriety given the Sumter
county changing recently, through
tAe investigation following the charge
OF severe whipping of the eonviets,
has aroused discussion of the affair by
the press throughout the country and,
while Sumter is not so black as paint
ed, by any means, not few of the
papers have pointed out plans for the
Improvement of the convict system
generally.
In leading editorial under the
heading ''The Sumter County Investi-
CATION, the Savannah Morning News
of Wednesday says in part:
The Prison Commission lis inyesti-
eating the charge of cruelty to con
victs in Sumter county. The com
missioners of that county recently in
vestigated the charge and found it to
be true. They took steps TO correct
the barbarities complained Of What
action the Prison Commission will take
in the matter is of course merely spe-
culative.
The convict system of this state
has been greatly improved in recent
years, but there seems to be ground
for asking if it cannot be still further
improved.
There shouldn't be any. cruelty at
all in convict camps, either in those of
lessees of state convicts Or those OF the
state convicts Cr those of the counties
A way should be found to inflict such
Punishment as may be found neces-
sary without the use of the lash. In
the hand of brutal men the lash be-
comes an instrument of such torture
that the people of a civilized state
shouldn't stand for it. Besides, it is
doubtful if the use of the lash doesn' t

Bitten by a Spider.

Through bloood poisning caused by
a spider bite, John Washington of Bos-
quevilIe, Tex, would have lost his leg,
which became mass of running sores,
had he notIbeen persuaded to try Buck
lens Arnica Salve. He writes: "The
first application relieved, and four box
es healed all the sores. . Heals every
sore. 25c at EIdridge Drug Co.

do far more harm than good. 1t fills
the hearts of the victims with desire
for vengeance and 1t brutalizes those
who handle it or have anything to do
with its use.
There is a way that is just as effec-
tive as the lash is, to enforce discipline,
and it doesn't make the mortal and
physical scars the lash does.
"The time ought to be near at hand
when the state will handle it's convicts
when the lease system will be totally
abolished.
Mississippi became sick CT the bar
barians of the lease system andIbought
land enough to require the labor of all
It's convicts in it cultivation. The re-,
suit has been that the state gets more
money from its convict labor than
ever before and the convicts are
healthier, happier and far more con
tented.
The percentage of lis convicts who
eventually become industrious citizens,
is far greater than under the lease sys-
tenn Georgia should consider at once
the question of buying a great farm
and of utilizing the labor of it's con-
victs under its own direction and un-
der the management of humane men.
But whatever may be done to-
wards improving the convict system
OF this state and other states there is
no question but that such cruelties as
reported from Sumter county shouldn't
be tolerated.
THE Prison Commission has authori-
ty to act in the matter, and it should
take steps to insure proper treatment
of the unfortunate creatures, whose
crimes have made punishment neces-
sary.''
