READY TO TRAIN GUNS
ON COVIES OF BIRDS
Quail Season Will Begin in
Few Days.

Americus gunners are ready for the
fray against the feathered hosts of
Bob White, and will be afield early
next Monday morning, the first day
of the partridge shooting season
Some birds have been shot already,
but the season opens regularly Mon
day.
Next Sunday-November LISTS
really the first day, but woe. be unto
the gunner who snaps cap before
sunrise on Monday following.
Quail are reported to be very plen-
tiful in some parts of the country
while in other they are said to be
more scarce than they were last sea-
son. The heavy floods during the last
few days of August are said to have
drowned many eoveys.
Turkeys have always been scarce in
this state, being nearly all killed out
before the game laws were enacted.
They are favorably reported now all
over the state as rapidly beginning to
hold their own with the other game
birds of the south.
Only the gunner who goes after the
partridges will get them, as bunch
of birds is rarely brought to Americus
for sale as in former years.

HAPPY BOB TO SPEED
IN RACES AT MACON
AmeriCuS Horses Are En-
tered There.

Two Americus fleet racers, Happy
Bob, and Roy Wilkes owned res
pectively by G. c. Hall and Cliff c.
Clay, will show their heels to the
grandstand as they speed over the
racecourse at the Macon fair this
week
Happy Bob will race on Thursday,
and is entered in both the three min
ute and 2;4O classes. Roy Wilkes
will trot at a later date.
Both are Americus horses that
can be depended upon when they
take the track, having made records
in the races here a few weeks ago.
Americus will be largely repres-
entend at the Macon fair, as is the
case always.
Many people went up yesterday to
be present at the opening today,
while other crowds will go up every
morning throughout the week and
next, the fair running through ten
days. Among the exhibits sent up
from Americus are several coops of
fine chickens from the yards of Mr..
/. P. Gartner, including his famous
Rhode Island Reds" prize-takers at
other fairs, and two or three other
varieties

TROOPS MAY AGAIN BE
SENT TO AMERICUS
In Distribution of Regulars
for Cuba.

Americus, through the efforts of
the Board of Trade and other influ-
ences that could be brought to bear,
might be selected as one of the camps
for the twenty thousand troops of the
regular army who are to be stationed
at different points throughout the
South
Americus was one of the military
encampments during the Spanish-Am-
erican War, and nearly 5000 troops.
the New York and Massachusetts reg
iments, were camped here
That Americus might be favored
again in this manner by the War De
partment there is no doubt and the
effort will assuredly be made AL
ready Macon, Savannah and other cit
les are getting busy to that end.
For the reason that the announce
ment has been made of the intention
of the government to distribute the
twenty thousand soldiers throughout
the south where they will be in easy
reach of Cuba. 1t is thought that a
portion of them can be secured for
Americus without trouble
The former camps in Americus,
both within the city limits, are still
available, and every effort should and
will be made to get some of the troops
here again.

Mr.. BACOI TO ACCEPT
PLACE IN CHARLESTON
AmeriCuS Much Regrets His
GOing Away.

Mr.. George w. Bacot, of the Sou
thern Express Co, with headquarters
in Americus, will make an important
change, going to Charleston to take
the agency for his company there.
While this is in the nature of a pro-
motion the hundreds of friends of
this genial gentleman will sincerely
regret to lose him as a citizen of
Americus. For many years he has
been most valued and efficient en-
ploye of the Southern Express Co.,
holding the responsible position of
route agent with the greater portion
of Georgia and Alabama as his terri
tory. Both in the social and business
life of Americus Mr. Bacot is es-
teemed in the highest degree, and the
departure of himself and lovely fam
lily will be source of sincerest re-
gret, although they go to the home
of his nativity-Charlesto Mr. Bacot
has been resident of Americus for
sixteen or eighteen years in connec-
ton with the Southern Express Co.

HORSES FOR SWAP
ON STREETS TODAY
First Invitation of Kind by
Board Trade.
Today is Horse Swapping Day.

This is the first venture of its kind
inaugurated by the Board of Trade.
The chairman of the committee, Mr..
T. e Mitchell, is not in the city. The
other two members of the committee
are Messrs. Charles L. Ansley and
John Sheffield.
Very little formality will attend
The proceedings. Invitations have
been sent out over a considerable
territory to horse owners to bring
their animals to Americus today.
The success of the occasion will de-
pend upon the number of horses
brought in for swapping purposes.
1t is expected that the center of
business will be around the court
house and along Forsyth street. But
wherever a horse owner plants him
self, like McGregor, there is the
head of the table
In other county seats the horse
swapping plan is practiced on every
first Monday, the farmers and horse
raisers gathering from miles around
for trading and for social meetings.
If the day is even moderately sue
cessful, steps will be taken to make
it permanent institution

Mr.. WHEATLEY IS BACK
FROM A TRIP NORTH
Fears Situation in Gotham
PerilOuS.

Mr. Crawford Wheatley returned to
Americus yesterday from New York,
where for ten days he has been upon
business. While there Mr.. Wheatley
studied carefully the political situa-
tion as regards the presidential cam
paign, both in New York and New
Jersey. Mr.. Wheatley says that Jer-
sey is going to be close, with good
prospects of falling into the Bryan
column. In New York the situation
is mixed, to a greater or less degree,
he says. Up to this time the Republi
cans have the bulge, Mr. Wlfeatley
says, and may carry the state unless
Bryan, in a whirlwind campaign this
week, can turn the current towards
Democracy. The gubernatorial CON
test is cutting big figure in the pres
idential campaign Mr. Wheatley
says, and many Democrats are going

Mr.. GILBERT TO ACCEPT
THE GALL TO AUGUSTA
Will Leave for That City in
Few Days.

Rev O. p Gilbert, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Americus, has
accepted the call to the pastorate of
the Second Baptist church of Augu-
sta, and will remove to that city in
a short while to resume the work he
put down three years ago to come
to Americus as pastor.
This call to Augusta was extended
on Sunday and was the unanimous
vote of the church
The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday
contains the following notice of the
call and its acceptance, which will
be of interest to Mr.. Gilbert's many
friends here:
Yesterday morning at the Second
Baptist church, Immediately after the
services, a meeting of the deacons
and members was held and unani-
nous call was extended to Rev. o. F.
Gilbert, of Americus, to accept the
pastorate of the church, succeeding
Rev. ]. B. Holley, resigned
Mr.. Gilbert accepted the call and
will move his family to Augusta with
in the next thirty days
Yesterday morning and evening
Mr. Gilbert preached two eloquent SER
mons at the Second Baptist. Large
congregations attended both services.
Last night the crowd overtaxed the
capacity of the church and many
could not find seats.
Rev. o. P. Gilbert is well known
in Augusta where he served the Sec
ond Baptist church as pastor for five
years prior to 1905. His efforts here
were eminently successful and he
built up large congregation.
"The delight of the Baptists over
his return here is evidenced by the
warm welcome given last night
1T is understood that Mr.. Gilbert
has declined the pastorate of a larger
church by accepting the call to Au-
gusta But he has always loved Au-
gusta, her people and the members of
the Second Baptist church and he
feels that his efforts here are worth
while"

u. D. 6. DELEGATES
OFF TO SAVANNAH
Fate of Wirz Monument
Decided Tomorrow.

Determined to secure the Wirz
monument for Americus if argument
and attractive offers could encompass
the end sought, Mrs. ]. E. Mathis, and
Mrs. James Taylor yesterday at noon
left on the Seaboard train for Savan-
nah to attend the state convention of
the U. d. c.. which will be held
there today, tomorrow and Thurs
day.
On tomorrow morning the monu-
ment committee will make its report,
and it is then that the final decision
is expected. AndersonvilIe will un-
doubtedly have some supporters. Ma
con will make a determined effort to
get the monument, while Atlanta will
doubtless be in a receptive state at
least. Against these forces Ameri-
Gus will oppose the logic of the situa-
ton, which is that this city is the
place par excellence for the shaft
to Wirz. 1t combines many of the
claims of Andersonville with others
added, and avoids all of the objec-
tionable features which attach to its
location at the site last selected.
This mornings session will be de-
voted to address of welcome and
responses. The Presidents ad-
dress will be read, followed by the
reports of officers. In the afternoon
a business session will be held, with
additional reports. In the evening
the President of the Savannah Chap
ter, Mrs. A. B. Hull, will entertain
the visiting delegates at her home.
Wednesday morning reports from
Chapters will be heard with the re-
ports on the Wirz monument and the
Shiloh monument. The revision of
the constitution and bylaws will al
so be considered. In the afternoon
an oyster roast will be given at Tybee
by the Confederate Veterans Associa-
ton. The evening session will be
devoted to history.
Thursday there will be a business
session at the Casino, at which re-
ports of committees will be heard,

the savannah Press SAWS.

Success crowned the efforts of the
initial night of the new manager of
the Orpheum in presenting last night
one of the best vaudeville bills ever
seen in Savannah. The feature and
surprise of the evening was the pre-
sentation of Senorita Shermana, the
noted Spanish vaudeville artist Out
side of being without a doubt the
handsomest woman upon the vaude-
Vile stage, the Senorita has an act
which should be seen by every man,
woman and child in Savannah: while
it is an act seldom seen outside of
the operate circles, yet it is one
which appeals to all classes. The
marked feature of Senorita Shermana
is that she appeared upon the stage
almost without the use of facial make
up, rouge or powder, her natural COM
Dlexion far exceeding any which could
be induced by artificial means
Her gowns are of the Spanish cut
and were a treat to the audience II
is to be regretted that her songs are
not rendered in English. but hey
graceful gestures gave almost a per
feet translation.

GRAND LODGE TO MEET
TODAY AT MACON
AmeriCuS to be Represent

Americus Masonic lodges, both
Americus No. Is and Council No. 95,
will be represented at the annual
meeting of the Grand Lodge of the
State, which assemblies today at Ma
con. This is the one hundred and
twenty second meeting of that old
and most honorable Masonic body.
The Americus representatives went
up to Macon yesterday afternoon,
while many Masons other than the
representatives went likewise to at
tend the interesting session.
Grand Master Thomas H. Jefferies
will preside at this session.
Among the many things to come up
during the session will be the plan to
build new temple in Macon, and
about which much has been said
during the past year.
Much Masonic legislation is to
come up for discussion, in which the
thousands of brethren throughout the
oCfttC ell uCCp1y AnLCl SolCd uQSS
Meyerhardt, who was for so long
grand master, has decided views on
this, and has expressed them in the
Masonic Herald
He terms certain proposals revol-
utionary and will oppose them.
Among these is the proposition to
increase the per capita tax from 81
to 81, which he believes would reduce
the membership of smaller country
lodges. He is also opposed to limiting
the term of the grand master to two
years and to fixing the representation
of lodges according to numerical
strength.
Other important plans advanced
contemplates the erection of a new
grand lodge temple.
