CLASS HONOR IS GIVEN
OUT IN HIGH SCHOOL
Standing of Fair Graduates
Announced.

The class honors in Furlow High
School were announced yesterday, and
the suspense of months duration
among the six fair graduates of the
class of 1908 was thus relieved. And
while there was disappointment for
some; there was happiness for others.
The first honor goes to Miss Marie
Walker, the second to Miss Hazel
Christopher, and the third to Miss
Nellie Niles.
The marking between Miss Walker
and Miss Christopher was very close
indeed it was stated.
Miss Marie Walker, who thus wins
the honor of class valedictorian, has
scored remarkably fine class rec
ord, and worthily she will wear the
coveted honor.
Since her admission to the high
school four years ago Miss Walker
has not lost a day in attendance, nor
has she ever received a tardy or de-
pertinent mark During the four long
years of study her average has al
ways been above 90 a splendid rec
ord indeed.
Each member of the class, it was
said made an enviable record. The
school will close about June 14th
with the usual graduating exercises

JUST WAITING TO SEE
HOW CAT WILL JUMP
Matters Held Up Pending
Result June 4th.

ATLANTA, GA, May 12-(Spe-
ciaD-It is beginning to be talked
around that the Railroad Commission
is holding up action on various i'm
portant matters which are pending be-
fore it until after the primary.
The commission has within the last
three months heard number of in
teresting cases involving rates of fare
and like matters, the evidence and
arguments are all in and nothing re-
mains but for the commission to pro-
nounce its judgment.
Not only that, but some of the cases
appear so obvious that there is only
one way to decide them.
Still the commission hesitates. And
it is freely predicted that there will
be no decision on any matter which
might in any way affect even a small
portion of the public mind until after
the primary June 4.

CONSENT is GIVEN FOR
EMPLOYEES TO ATTEND
Few Objections to Request
for Leave.

Very few, if any, of the enlisted men
of Company l., Americus Light In
fantry, will be debarred from attend
ing the annual encampment of the
company by virtue of the refusal of
employers to grant them leave of alb
sence 1t was feared for a time
that several of the men would thus
be up against difficulty, but such
may not be the case. Yesterday Cap
tain c. E. Van Riper, upon behalf of
his men, called upon number of en-
ployers here to secure consent for
them to go to Fort Screven, and his
very reasonable request was general
ly complied with. 1t is now believed
that Company l. will carry it's full
complement of men, probably as many
as forty or fifty. AS stated already,
the Americus company will leave at
10:40 o'clock Friday night and will
arrive at Fort Screven early Saturday
morning Ten days will be spent in
the camps on Tybee, and the stay this
time will be far more pleasant than
last year when the company was
there in the fierce heat of midsummer

OUTLOOK FOR LIBRARY
GROWS BRIGHTER
Council Gan Probably be In
duCed to Pass Resolution.

At the meeting of the Americus
Board of Trade last night the follow
ing was adopted:
Whereas: Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
has agreed to give the City of Ameri-
Gus a $4,000 Library Building, and
having had this offer since April 25,
1908, and realizing that if this offer
is not accepted at once we may lose
this opportunity and may never have
an offer of this kind again, and where
as; a Public Library is a potent fac
tor in the education of the people of
every city and is signal of the in
telligence of every community:
Be it resolved that the Board of
Trade of Americus, request the Hon.
Mayor to call a special meeting of the
City Council, to pass such resolutions
as will secure for our city this most
liberal proposition"
A committee composed of Messrs.
G, A Fricker, c. A. Council and Frank
Lanier was appointed to present the
resolutions to the Mayor
The outlook for the Carnegie Lii
brary is decidedly brighter than it
has yet been. With the Board of
Trade, the Library Association and
the ladies of the city actively at work
there is every reason to believe that
Council will be induced to pass the
resolution required by Mr.. Carnegie
and that before the summer is over
work will be begun on the library
building.

CONCRETE SEWER
WILL HIDE DITCH

The unsightly ditch between the
property of Mr.. w. P. Macarthur and
Mr. Walter Page, on Jackson street,
is to be walled up by a reinforced
concrete sewer three by six feet, and
extending towards Forrest street for
140 feet. The contract for this work
was yesterday let to Kite e Wilson.
Materials will be ordered today and
the work started as soon as possible
and hurried to a finish. When the
sewer is completed, it will be covered
with dirt, entirely hiding all signs of
the old waterway

KINDERGARTEN NEEDS
LARGER QUARTERS
Enthusiastic Meeting of
Association Held.

The first regular monthly meeting
of the Kindergarten Association since
the close of the school was held yes
terday afternoon at the home of Mrs
S. H. Mckee, presided over by the
President, Mrs Geo. Van Ripper.
BY unanimous agreement, the ses-
sion just closed was in every way a
satisfactory and successful one Miss
Brahan, the teacher, has gone to De
troit, her home, for the summer, and
previAus to her departure had not
fully decided whether or not she
would return. The Association is
anxious that she accept the place
again.
The Fall term of the school will be-
gin in October, and by that time it is
hoped that larger Accommodations may
be obtained Any assistance in the
rooms would be much appreciated. 1t
was decided to continue the Kinder
garten as free institution. The large
number of children who have attend
ed has shown that the institution is
greatly needed.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one, and gave evidence that the prep
arations for the coming session will
be entered upon with vigor. Plans
for the building will be discussed fur
ther at the next monthly meeting, to
be held the second Tuesday in June

DINNER FOR PICNIC Is
A PROBLEM IN FACT

The picnics on Friday and accom-
panying menu is problem that
causes loss of sleep in the average
Americus household just now, for
picnic dinner without that important
requisite, fried chicken, is indeed
the tragedy of Hamlet without Ham
let And the chicken is an unknown
quantity, unapproachable and unat-
tainable So scarce are the birds
that if every chicken in Americus of
frying size was. compressed into a
single pie a sick cockroach could
eat it and die of starvation. 1t is
quite reasonable to suppose, there
fore, that fried chicken will be elm
mated from Fridays picnic menu

the sandwich and dill pickle instead

AMERICUS is GOING TO
HAVE STEEDS IN RACE

Americus horses will trot in the
races at Cordele this week, and many
local owners of fine stock are going
over to witness the several events.
The lists include running and trotting
races alike, and Americus men will
back their steeds with the cash. The
races will prove an event of interest
in sporting circles and during the
two days large crowds from every
section of south Georgia will be there
Several Americus horses were enter
ed for the Cordele races last year and
one or two took prizes in the several

BEST GUESS GETS
THIS PAPER A YEAR
How Many Votes for Brown
and Smith?
How many votes will Smith get?

How many votes will Smith get?
How many votes will Brown get?
You know Brown and Smith are the
candidates for Governor before the
Democratic primary of June T.
To make a long story short, a
years subscription to the daily
Times-Recorder will be awarded the
one who sends to this Office before
June l the nearest guess to the vote
in the state for Gov Smith and Mr..
Brown Each guesser's. vote for
Smith and for Brown will be COM
pared with the actual vote, and the
variations added together. The guess
er whose total miss for the two cam
didates is the smallest wins the year S
subscription to the Times Recorder.
This is of course on the theory that
no one will guess the exact vote of
both candidates.
In the primary two years ago the
total vote was reported as 163,151, di-
vided as follows Hoke Smith 94,-
497; Russell 1926; Howell 21,720;
Estill 1924; J. NJ. Smith 1924.
This year the vote will no doubt be
considerably larger, owing partly to
the fact that lines are more tightly
drawn between the two candidates,
and partly to the increase in voting
population.
In the 1906 primary the popular vote
did not cut the figure it will this time,
as the county unit plan was in effect.
1t may take several days to get at the
exact figures, as every district must
report before the actual vote can be
announced,
The proper way to vote in the
Times-Recorder contest will be to
write the names of Smith and Brown
on a slip of paper, following each
one with the estimated vote. This
slip must be placed in an envelope
and sealed and mailed or delivered to
the office by hand. The envelope will
be kept in safe place until after the
vote is announced, when the guesses
will be opened and the figures com
pared with the actual result
The contest is open to all, whether
a subscriber or not. Men and women,
boys and girls can participate. The
only stipulation is that the guess must
be in this office by o'clock on the
evening of May 81.

BROWN TO SWEEP CITY
SAYS AN ALBANIAN

Mr. w. H. Hill, we'll known At
lantan of the firm of Mathews & Hill,
insurance underwriters, was in Am
ericus yesterday returning to the
capital from a visit to relatives at
Smithville. Discussing the guberna-

expressed the belief that Brown would
sweep the county, even carrying the
city ward in which the governor re-
sides, dual fact already conceded
by the state at large. Mr.. Hill is an
ardent supporter of Mr.. Brown, whom
he has known personally for years,
and whom he extols in the highest

Strawberries and retailing at a dime
