swept with the simeon destruc-
ton of war, laid in ashes and
ruins, trod,len upon with the
iron heel of oppreSsian and sought
to be hnmiliated by being made
the subjects of ignorant, vicious
and brutal representatives of an
inferior race; they have achieved
greater victories in peace than
they ever gained in war.
Nor have they lost one iota of
that lofty manhood which char
icterized their revolutionary
forefathers.. Today they are a
people as,listinctive in their char
tcteristics as when they first
landed on the shores of America.
Their ideals are as lofty; their
sense of personal honor As keen:
their chivalrous devotion to their
fair women as undimished as of
yore. Their bravery, heroism,
and courage as great and un-
AIKEN: their loyalty and patrio' :
ism as firm, as devoted, as uLinl-
peachable and unquestioned As
when the first blow was struck
by their forefatherS for the cause
of freedom.

turning their backs on adversely.
| OF their abandoning the traditions
of their sIres! They believe in
the light and have always dared
MAINTAIN it and always will. Ii
is the seal of their manhood, and
will always carry the race out
into and down the centuries as
the truest, the noblest. the great
est and purest of the lofty strain
of American blood, and the hope

pride that knows no defeat, and
will never succumb to adversely,
be it the crimson tide of battle In
fierce combat, or the simeon

the whirIing cyclones fury of the
air, spreading desolation and ru n
in their rush, and carrying death
on the wings of their destructive

SONS OF VETERANS
SHOULD ORGANIZE
winfield Should be Repre-
scented Among Descendants
of Southern Warriors.

Winfield contains very large
number of the sons of veterans
OF the civil war, yet Is without a
camp of this organization.
Among them are embraced some
OF the prominent citizens of this
town. The order is numerous
and popular one throughout the
South. Annually they meet with
The United Confederate Veterans,
AMI their convention afii!iateS
with that of the old soldiers and
together they are perpetuating
the brilliant achievements of the
past and recording the truth of
history.
The younger generations. the
men born during and since the
war, owe il To themselves and not
less to the herniSm and valor of
their fathers and grandfathers to
take part in this work by organ
izing a splendid camp of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans. They
will find in tins work something
to be proud of and in which they
will become enthusiastic devotees
in perpetuating the fame OF their
ancestors. They will be cheer
fully and gladly assisted in such
an organization by the veterans
who still mingle with them in the
active pursuits of life.
But these are rapidly passing
away and in very short time
their presence will be but a
memory cherished i'm loving
hearts. Let an active effort be
made to establish camp of the
Sons of Veterans in Winfield,
and each year their representa-
tives will mingle with the grizzled
veterans in their annual reunions,
and gather and hand do n the
leeds of their forefathers, and
take pride in the fact that they
are the descendants of men who
electrified the world with theil
deeds in war, and astonished the
nations with their not less heroic
victories amid the pursuit:
of peace. 1t is a work of love
1t should he made the proud
achievement of a lifetime and
thus perpetuate a glorious past
and vindicate the truth of history
to be handed down to future
generations.

ON FIRST BALLOT

Necessary.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 18.-
(SpeciaD the first ballot Taft
was nominated for President on the
Republican ticket this afternoon, his
vote being 697 The number neces-
sary to nominate was 491. Taft's
vote was more than two-thirds the
total.
Taft's name was presented by
Congressman Burton at 2:23 o'clock,
the presentation being the scene of a
big demonstration. Previous to that
time Congressman BOutelIe presented
the name of Cannon, EX-Gov. Hanley
the name of Fairbanks, Gen Stewart
.Woodford presented Hughes. Follow
ing the presentation of Taft's name
the names of Foraker and Knox were
offered. This put every candidate in
to the race wha had been mentioned
in connection with the nomination
1t had been originally planned to
have the nominations made on Fri
day but the platform having been
adopted earlier than anticipated it
was decided to take up the nomina-
tion of a Presidential candidate.

such ruinous slaughter of his stock,

IF WATER is WITHHELD
ICE PLANT MAY STOP
But Delay Will Be Temper
dry Only.

The water situation in Americus
may possibly result in the temporary
closing down of the ice factory on Cot
ton avenue in the event the city coun-
ell deems it necessary to cut off the
water now supplied that enterprise
While such condition may possibly
arise it is hoped that it may be avoid
ed as it would prove hardship upon
the plant to thus cripple it, even
temporarily, at the height of the sea-
son when ice is most needed. AS eX-
planned in the Times Recorder yester-
day, the ice company derives it's water
supply from the city's mains, using
about $4,000 gallons daily. To supply
this demand with that of other enter
prises here necessitates the operation
of the pumps at the reservoir beyond
their capacity, and a possible break
down is feared by the city authorities.
The ice company is having an artesian
we'll sunk upon it's property, but the
likelihood of getting water very soon
seems remote, it is said and the COM
pany is wholly dependent upon the
city at present for it's water supply.
Aside from supplying the city, in part,
with ice this company supplies ice for
the refrigeration of fruit cars shipped
from the Americus territory, and thus
another industry might be crippled if
the plant should be forced to suspend
temporarily until another source of
water supply can be found.

CARNEGIE LIBRARY
WELL UNDER WAY
Plans May be Adopted at Meeting of Directors Called
for This MOrning:-COunCi Will Give Library
Board Free Hand.

All obstacles to the prompt building
of the Carnegie Library were ap-
parently cleared away last night at
an informal conference between
members of the Library Association
and of the City Council
Architect T. F. Lockwood, of Co
lumbus, appeared at the conference
with two sets of drawings for the
building. In each instance the front
was of white limestone, with the side
walls of white pressed brick. Each of
the plans was duly admired though
they bore a general resemblance. to
each other.
1t was stated by Mr.. Lockwood that
the plans provided for the entire cost
of building the library within the
appropriation of Mr.. Carnegie of
$4,000.
While the conference was informal,
aas has been stated, it was tacitIy
agreed that the City Council would
turn over their part of the matter to
the Library Association, which should
agree on the plans, and attend to all
of the details of the building. Pres
ent at the conference last night on
the part of the Library Association
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-06-19

were: Messrs. Crawford Wheatley
Frank Sheffield, Lee Allen and Mayor
Hawkins.
After inspecting the plans some
what in detail and asking many ques-
tions of the architect, Chairman
Crawford Wheatley, of the Library
Board, issued the following call:
"The Directors of the Library AS
sociation are hereby called to meet
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning at my
office to consider the preliminary
plans furnished by Architect Lock
wood
At the meeting this morning it is
quite probable that the plans may be
adopted as presented. They will then
be forwarded to Mr.. Carnegie for his
approval, which is regarded as as
sured Bids will then be advertised
for at once
Architect Lockwood has built four
Carnegie Libraries recently the Ma
con library, now nearing completion
being the latest He stated last
night that his plans provided for a
handsomer building than that at Co
lumbus, though the latter cost $780,
600.
