MAY
DEFEAT CHANGE
FOrty-Eight Chapters Must
Ask POStpOnement.
For Andersonville, 9.
Against Andersonville, "a.

This is the record of the vote on
the Wirz monument proposition, as
received by Mrs. j. E. Mathis, Presl.
dent of the local chapter, yesterday
morning. The eight replies received
in two days were unanimously against
the location of the monument at An
dersonville
Judging from the returns, the only
thing which can defeat the change of
site is the failure of a majority of
the ninetyfour chapters of the state
to express themselves on the ques-
ton. To authorize the order holding
up the unveiling until after the Saw
AMMAN convention can pass upon the
matter, there must be a majority of
the chapters in the state to join in
the request This means that forty
eight must vote for postponement
of the unveiling. Just exactly half of
that number have thus far sent in
their protests to Mrs. Mathis. 1t may
be that more have sent protests to
Miss Baxter, the state president.
Whatever is done must be done
quickly. Mr. c. j. Clark, who has
the contract for placing the monu-
ment, has notified Mrs Mathis that he
must know by Oct l if there is to be
any change in site 1t will require
nearly month to erect the monu-
ment at Andersonville, if it must go
there
In view of these facts, Mrs. Mathis
and Mrs James Taylor, members of
the Site Committe, on yesterday sent
letters to the siXty-one chapters
which have not yet reported, urging
that they do so at once. Unless for
ty-eight chapters request the post
ponement of the unveiling, Miss Bax-
ter will be powerless to suspend the
order providing that the dedication
take place at Andersonville on Oct 81
letter has been received by Mrs
Mathis from Miss Baxter, in which
it was stated that at the time of the
writing of the letter a majority of
the chapters had not reported, but
without stating how many responses
had actually been received 1t is
customary for the chapters to hold
their fall meeting in September and
it is possible that some have not yet
met. In addition to this, the matter
of reporting even by those which
have already voted on the PROPOSE
ton has no doubt been neglected in
many instances. 1t is expected that
the letters sent out yesterday re-
minding the chapters of the return
cards in their pOs%s ssion will bring
out number of responses during
the. coming week. At the end of that
period the situation will be sufficient
N clear to practically decide the
question.

FINE FEAST OF FRUITS
is HERE ON DISPLAY
AmeriCuS is Still FeaStinQ
ThereupOn.

The abundance and variety of the
different fruits and fresh vegetables
displayed in the local markets is
nothing short of remarkable, consid-
ering the lateness of the crops in
certain sections. Besides the vast
array of seasonable fall vegetables
embracing a dozen varieties, the Am
ericus epicure can feast upon Cali
fOrnia grapes, plums and peaches. But
it is not necessary to go to Califor-
mia for fruit, as Americus still luxu-
riates upon the luscious watermelon
of home vintage, while pears, apples,
pomegranates and other fruits grown
here are most plentiful. Bananas can
be had almost for the asking, owing
to the fierce competition among local
dealers which has put prices down
to a dime a dozen and even cheaper

AFTER LONG ILLNESS

The funeral services of Captain
AIonzo Turner were conducted yes
terday afternoon at Andersonville
National Cemetery, where he was laid
besides his former comrades-in-arms
in the presence of a large concourse
of friends. Capt Turner was for
many years the efficient superinten-
dent of the Federal Cemetery at
Andersonville, and by his genial dis
position, affability and uniform cour-
tesy had endeared himself to humid
reds of friends in his adopted home
in the Southland, who esteemed him
in the highest Captain Turner was
seventy years of age and veteran
of the G. A. r. He is survived by
a family, among them his daughter,
Mrs. B. o. Easterlin of Americus.

of a serious accident yesterday after
neon resulting in fall from an auto
mobile which ran over her right limb,
breaking the bone at the ankle. Misses

ing to turn out of the road in passing

wheels of the auto suddenly skid
ded," and Miss Jossey, sitting in her
sisters lap, fell out beneath the rear
wheels.
Instantly the car was stopped and
the young lady placed therein and
carried home, where Dr. Cato attend

accident so much as Mr.. Hansford,
although he was blameless in the
management of the car which was
proceeding at very moderate speed
when the accident occurred

Ing delayed in the House by claimants who, hav-
ing failed to obtain the damages they desired
