TROOPS LEFT FOR VIRGINIA
Yesterday the Anniversary of Departure of MuCakIee
Guards

The two companies of gray clad
soldiers, manly young fellows all, were
drawn up in front of the old hotel, a
wooden structure where now stands the
handsome new Allison building. It
was glorious day, a history making
day in patriotic Americus.
The entire population, men, women
and children, came down to the village
to see the soldiers off.
Mothers and fathers bade adieu-
many last adieu-to sons who never
came back; sisters and sweethearts
said fearful goodbye to brothers and
lovers as they marched to the depot.
Col. Willis A. Hawkins, then cap
tain, commanded the Americus COM
pany, and made the troops a patriotic
and memorable speech as they were
drawn up at the hotel. These COM
panies formed a part of the gallant
Twelfth Georgia Regiment, G. S. A.
The officers of the Muckalee Guards
were; Willis A. Hawkins, captain;
Samuel Dawson, first lieutenant; Kent
Mccoy, second lieutenant; w. B. Tur-
pin, third lieutenant. Emory Rylander
was orderly sergeant, but had risen to
the rank of major when killed.
All of these names are familiar ones
in Americus today, though the men
who bore them are with Lee and Jack
son on the other side of the river.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
PREACHER COMING
Eloquent Sermons SChed-
uIed Next Two Weeks
REV. B. P. SMITH OF ATLANTA
VIII Conduct Special Services at the
UniverSaIiSt Church, Preparatory
to the Organization of a
Christian Church in
AmeriCuS.
REV. B. P. SMITH OF ATLANTA

Beginning with next Monday night,
Church of Atlanta, will hold special
services at the Universallst Church on
Taylor street, beginning at s O'Clock.
Mr.. Smith comes with a reputation
for eloquence in the presentation of
scriptural truths that should draw good
congregations every night.
These meetings will be continued
every night oyer period of probably
two weeks.
At their expiration it is probable that
Christian Church VIII be organized IN
Americus.
There are doubtless dozen members
of that faith now resident IN the city
1t is believed that Mr.. Smiths state
ment of the doctrines of the Christian
Church will lead others to unite with
the church and that sufficient mum Der
will be gathered together to form a fair
sized congregation.
The plea of the Christian Church for
the restoration ofprimitive christianity
has probably never been preached in
Americus before. The church believes
in immersion, in communion every
S unday, in the absence of forms in
church worship, and endeavors to re-
store as far as practicable the faith
and practices of the early Christians.

LUNGE MADE AT THE LOAN SHARK
Legislature May Cripple This Human
Hyend.

That curse of nearly every city, the
loan shark, who fattens off the miseries
of the poor, the sick and distressed by
lending few dollars at fierce rate of
interest, will have his rapacity curbed
at this session of the legislature. A
bill will be introduced making it a
criminal off'ense to charge more than
five percent interest, per month, on
loans. 1t will be general State law
and made broad enough to cover the
subterfuges and lodges usually resort
ed to by these human hyenas to legal
ize their extortion. 1t is the opinion of
the author of the bill that the business
of robbing the poor and unfortunate
will continue so long as the law visits
as the only punishment the forfeiture
of the exorbitant interest. According
to his idea law making it criminal
offense to charge over 5 per cent per
month would stop the practice.

Many old Confederate veterans re-
forty-stx years agone when the Mucka.
lee Guards, in all the enthusiasm of
young manhood and fired by the spirit
of patriotism that turned in every
Southerner's heart, left Amercus for
the front.
The war was on, and from every
town in the old Southland her sons
were being marshaled for the titanic
struggle that shocked the civilized
world and brought to her a fame i'm
perishable, immortal, and glorious
withal.
The drum tap had already been
heard in the streets of Americus, and
companies were going to the front as
fast as they could be organized.
And among the most gallant of these
commands was the old Muckalee
Guards, which afterwards bore the
brunt of many a hard fought battle
and crimsoned the soil of Virginia with
the blood of its best and bravest men,
immortal heroes all.
Yesterday, forty-six years ago, the
company left for the front.
The Marion County Guards under
command of Captain Mark Blandford
had marched from Buena Vista to
Americus to join the Muckalee Guards
and leave with them.

COAL PRICES WILL RULE HIGHER.
Cost More to Keep Warm Next
Winter.

With the temperature still sizzling
around the hundred point, the perspir-
ing and cussful Americus citizen may
feel now that he will never care to see
another coal fire if the iceman will
only be good at the present. But
ninety days hence Americus will be
sitting with her feet to the fire, and
that fire will cost more than it did
last winter. For be it known that the
price of coal has advanced, along with
the price of chickens and diamonds,
corner lots and fall bonnets, and just
fifty cents will be added to the cost
per ton. Americus dealerslare already
taking coal orders for fall delivery and
the advance is fifty cents all along the
line.

SEVERAL CRATES LUSCIOUS FRUIT
AmeriCuS Will Be FeaSting on Peaches
Soon,

Three or four crates fine peaches, the
first really good ones broughtto Amer
icuS, were senC in yesterday from the
orchard of Mr.. r. S. Broadhurst near
the city. The fruit was of full size and
excellent flavor for the season, 'and are
just ten days behind the first of the
Governor Hogg's" ripening last year.
Mr.. Broadhurst grows this variety very
successfully, as he does the Carmen,
and, despite the unfavorable seasons
this year, will have a considerable
quantity of each for home consump-
ton, though scarcely in quantities suf-
ficient to make up shipment to the
markets.

Delightful Affaia Yesterday At Home

One of the most delightful social

reception and euchre party rendered
by Miss Kate Wheatley yesterday
evening to three charming young
ladies now visiting Miss Eldridge,
Miss Mary Dillon of Washington; Miss
Kate IStump, of Valdosta; and Miss

About forty of the younger set en-

who was daintily gowned. in yellow
f1owered null. Among other visitors
present were Miss Lamar, of Column
bus; Miss Boone of Mobile; Miss Long,
of Eufaula Miss Green, of Cordele, and
others.
The Wheatley home was prettily
decorated with palms, ferns and cut

served on the lawn, after cards had
been played on the piazza.
The evening was tone of the mos
delightful the younger set have had

RETURNS FROM THE GOLDEN GATE
AmeriCuS Man Has Extended Trip
West.

Mr.. Jeff Taylor returned to Americus
yesterday from the Pacific coast, where
he has been in the interest Of his firm,
one of the largest cigar manufactures
in Tampa. Mr.. Taylor left Americas
after the Christmas holidays, and for
six months has travelled the ''slope''
from Los Angeles north to Spokane
and eastward to Salt LAX Getty. He
spent six weeks in Frisco and was
there during one of the more recent
quakes, which gave the natives an
other wholesome scare. Mr.. Taylor
had a profitable and successful trip,

IOWA ROOTS FOR
TEDDY AGAIN
CumminS Says People Will
Insist on Third Term.
KNOX WILL HAVE NO SHOW
1t the Governor of Iowa Knows That
He Is Talking AbOut---The West
Is Hot For Another A Years
of Teddy.

Plttsburg, Pa, June 2O.-Governor
Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, spoke at
his old college commencement at
Waynesburg yesterday. The Western
man paused long enough lin the home
of United States Senator P. G. Knox to
Jolt the Presidential boom of the Sena-
tor tritie. Governor Cummins de-
clared for Roosevelt emphatically,
saying:
The people of the West are strongly
in favor of the denomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and 1 believe that
when the next National Republican
Convention meets he will be the nomi-
nee, and the campaign to follow will
result in his triumphant election. 1
believe that the regulation of corpora
tlons will be the paramount issue in
the next Presidential campaign, and
for that reason alone President Roose-
welt must be the nominee.
But. while [ feel that Senator Knox
is well qualified to discharge the du-
ties of President of the United States,
and, Notwithstanding the fact that he
received the Endorsement of the Re-
publicans of the great Keystone State,
the people of the country at large are
so pronounced in their views for the
retention of Theodore Roosevelt in the
Presidency that 1 feel that Pennsylva-
mia will have to tall in line and help
make the thing unanimous.
Iowa now stands ready to indorse
the denomination and reelection of
President Roosevelt. / feel positive
that, even though the President has
declared against accepting another
term, his wish Will not be respected,
and in response to the public demand
he must heed the call aud stay in the
White House four years longer.

A member of the Plains club tele-
