ORDER IS PLACED FOR
UNIFORMS FOR TEAM
Jaunty Suits for AmeriCuS
Ball Club.

The Americus ball club will soon
shine resplendent upon the diamond,
a cluster of gems" in themselves, in
jaunty new uniforms which will prove
not only a thing of beauty but an in
spiration forever in speeding the
players on to victory.
A committee composed of G. D.
Wheatley, Jr,, and Frank Lamar went
to Atlanta day or two since and
placed orders for a dozen uniforms
for the locals.
The material purchased was of the
best, and of regulation pattern and
design, the suits costing nearly $100.
The uniforms will be made up and
delivered within a week, and then
the cry 'iplay BALI will mean some
thing in assembling the host of local
rooters and fanatics.
Quite recently the goodly sum of
$500 was raised here by subscription
for the Americus bah club, the
greater portion of the amount to be
expended in rebuilding the park and
grandstand and in the purchase of
uniforms.
Ball dope is abundant in supply
here just now, and when Americus
and Cordele meet upon the diamond
next week there will be something do
ing in balloon.

it Census Guess, and either mail or
bring it to the business office of the
Times-RecOrder. Only one guess will
be allowed each person. The guesses
will be opened at once.

10000.
Many guesses have been received
but with the returns in from all ex-
cept one ward, it will be easier to
come closer than earlier in the count.
The guess costs nothing except a
minutes work and may win you this

TO SHOW WHAT
WE ARE DOING
Home for Board of Trade
With Exhibits There.

The Americus Board of Trade must
have a home of its own, a place where
specimens of the output OF the in
dustries of the city, and of the farms
Of Sumter county can be on eXhibi-
tiOn, where literature about the city
and the county can be kept for dis
tribution, where strangers can be
made to feel welcome, where the
meetings of the Board and of COM
mittees can be held, a place in
other words that will give the Board
Of Trade a sense of permanency such
as it cannot feel under the existing
circumstances.
This was the feeling that was very
strongly expressed at the meeting of
the Board on Tuesday night.
IF the Board of Trade is doing
really effective work for the city"
said President Allen, in starting the
discussion, lit must get headquarters
of its own, it must have more mem
bers, it must be in position to adver-
tise what Americus offers,a it must
keep pushing"
This view was at once accepted by
those present.
I'VE should have a place where
specimens Of our industrial output
could be kept on exhibition, said
M ToI,, w C,I,;1,o,, ct c,,v0ro +I,oro
is no one here who knows that my
plant is turning out cabinet mantels.
I am shipping them to various points.
If we had a room [ would take pleas
ure in putting in a mantel or two to
show what Americus is doing on that
line. Our other manufacturers would
ton, and from our planters We could
get fine Specimens of what they are
producing. Such a room could be
kept open all the time and visitors to
the city be invited to inspect the eX-
hibits and be given literature relative
to Americus and Sumter county"
Mr.. Frank Sheffield and several
others spoke along the same line. All
present felt that some radical forward
steps must be taken to make the
Board of Trade a powerful weapon
in the onward march of the city. 1t
is probable that inside of a month
efforts will be made to get perma-
nent headquarters and begin the work
Of securing exhibits Of the character
referred to.

AMERICUS ODD FELLOWS
ORGANIZE new LODGE

Americus' little neighbor, Lumpkin,
now has a lodge of the Independent
Order Odd Fellows, organized a night
or two since, with a large membership
and given the name of Stewart Lodge,
No. 397. A delegation of twenty mem
bers from Sumter Lodge, No 264, as
escort to District Organizer D. W.
Zimmerman, went to Lumpkin on
Tuesday evening to organize the new
lodge, returning to Americus yester-
day morning. Stewart Lodge was
organized with quite a large mem
bership, made up of prominent and
substantial citizens of Stewart coun-
ty. The Americus brethren were
handsomely entertained in the little
city on the hills

HOW TO BUILD
UP A TOWN
Mr.. Betjeman to Give Good
Talk tuesday Night.

One of the most important public
meetings ever held in Americus will
be that at the City Hall on next
Tuesday night, when Mr.. Betjeman,
secretary of the Albany Board of
Trade, and we'll known as a worker
for the upbuilding of Georgia, will
address the business men. and citi-
zens generally of Americus on How
to Build Up Town"
Mr. Betjeman made a decided i'm
preston by. his speech at the recent
dinner of the Americus Board of
Trade. He showed plainly that he
had studied the problems of town
promotion and understood what were
the obstacles in the way of building
up small cities and how best to over
come them.
After the dinner Mr.. Betjeman was
requested by some Americus business
men to come to Americus and give
a public talk on the matter of the
development of public spirit and the
expansion of city industrially and
otherwise. He readily consented and
Tuesday next was arranged as the
date for the address.
Mr.. Betjeman has done fine work
for Albany. He has been powerful
factor in enthusing the people of
that city, in stimulating them to
efforts that are bringing rich results
and in so presenting the claims OF
Albany to the world that its growth
in every direction has been acceIerat-
ed Last year, it is stated, Albany S
population, by actual count, increas-
ed over 1000, and of these it is stated
that fully 400 additions were due to
the efforts put forth by the Board
of Trade to draw settlers and secure
new enterprises.
Albany is moving ahead in magnifi-
cent shape. It's business men stand as
solid body for everything that will
tend to build up the city. Mr.. Bette
man will probably tell of the work
that has been done there and in other
Southern cities along the same lines
Americus will get the benefit of his
Investigations and advice.
The meeting should be largely at
tended. Every business man and
every citizen who earns a livelihood
here, and who feels an interest in
the future welfare of the city should
show by his presence that he en-
dorses a movement that seeks tC
build up Americus. The talk will
undoubtedly be a thoroughly enjoy
able and profitable one to all pres
ent

KINDERGARTEN WORK
NEARING CLOSE
Arranging for Final Exer-
CiSeS Next Week.

On Friday morning of next week,
April oath, the Americus Kindergar-
ten will hold it's closing exercises, in
the yard in front of the quarters oc-
cupied by the Kindergarten on Taylor
street.
Thirty-nine children are in atten-
dance on the Kindergarten and each
Of them will have a part in the eX-
ercises, which will demonstrate the
work that IS done in the school and
the efficiency attained by the child
ren. All who feel any interest what
ever in kindergarten work are urged
to be present. The ladies managing
the affairs of the institution are es-
pecially desirous that the men wit
ness the exercises, feeling that if a
greater interest can be stimulated
among them the work of the kinder
garten will be speedily broadened.
On next Tuesday afternoon, at 4
o'clock there will be an easter egg
uuuJ, lOE Tie UCu6uL OL Ju0 hluQ6f-
garten, on the grounds of the Furlow
High School. It is hoped to secure
funds sufficient to meet some small
outstanding accounts in this way.
The Kindergarten has done a great
er work this year than last, and the
next fall it is hoped to be in position
to handle not less than fifty child
ren. The institution is free, there are
many children who should be in posi-
tion to avail themselves of its bene-
fits, and it is hoped to secure larger
quarters where the work can be car
ried on under more satisfactory con-
ditiOns.
Miss Braham has been in charge of
the school this year and has been
assisted by Miss Ethel McMath as
musician. Both of these ladies have
shown intense interest in the work
and have made many sacrifices for
it,

The claims to be drawn on the wolf

show that up the present date demands
have been made for Sa,654, as against
$6,502 for the same date last year. In
past years the claims sent in as allowed
at the July meetings of the county
boards have always been heavy, and the
same rule will very likely apply this
year. While it is impossible to say just
how many more claims will be present
ed than for last year, at a like ratio
with former years, the total viii go well
above the appropriation and the proba

on about the same ratio as for last year,
