experience with Herman Whitaker's
fine story, "The Settler" which was
concluded some months ago, taught
us that no feature Of a magazine Is
more widely appreciated and eagerly
sought than a strong serial. Ever
since this, we have been trying to get
another strong novel. Some people
have an impression that the literary
woods are full of unknown geniuses
who can write great stories, but that
no opportunity exists for such, as the
authors with the great names" mo-
nopolize the field. Thousands of
writer's imagine that. II only they had
chance, Fame would be theirs, too.
But it seems to be the concurrence Of
publishing experience that a good
thing is rare. II you want to be sure
of securing a mastery work, you must
apply to those who have established
their right to be called masters.
In our search for a great novel, we
have been impressed by the fact that
every other publisher is seeking the
same thing; the work of every mas
terly author is eagerly snapped up.
We wrote to every author Of note
In America, setting forth our want,
and offering any price for the right
thing. We found every one of them
willing enough, but the work Of each
had been spoken for for at least a
year ahead.
London, who has already contrib
uted several short stories to The Pa
cific Monthly, we scarcely hoped to-
reach, and did not communicate with
him, as he was out of the country
until we accidentally learned that he
had Just completed and was sending
from somewhere in the South Seas,
urgent telegram and letter to his
agent Mrs Ninetta Eames, offering
a good round sum for the mere priv
ilege of reading the manuscript, and
for an option upon 1t for 10 days,
brought a prompt and favorable re-
ply. The manuscript came, beautiful
ly typewriter, $4,000 words in
length. "Mr. London says you may.
give it for title, either Success or
Martin Eden'" wrote Mrs Eames,
"and as for its character, judge for
yourself"
Mr. London himself is too modest to
express himself beyond the following
brief remark in a letter:
81 do not know what you will think
of this novel; l do not know what to
think of 1t myself, But at any rate
you will find it entirely different from
anything else l have done"
It is quite different from anything
else Mr.. London has ever done. 1t is |
neither surcharged with the authors
tendency to sociologic discussion, nor
with many of the peculiarities of
and form found in all his 9TH
er work 1t establishes the authors
reputation for versatility, and will
without question take rank among the
great novels of recent years.
you must have that novel," said
Charles Erskine Scott Wood, after he
had finished reading the manuscript;
at Is a good story"
But we had already telegraphed our
acceptance. While Mr.. London's
price, $1,000, seemed a bit heavy for
a young western magazine, we were,
Of course aware that we were getting
the first-comer's bargain: especially
after receiving a telegram from
900 for our option. Maybe we are
900 for our option. Maybe we ae
bit garrulous in gossiping thus, but
really, we may be pardoned jubilance
over our new possession.

Market Day Event Not Very Largely

There were but few things offered
for sale at the market sale today held
this afternoon and as a result the
event was not as largely attended as

sures a hot game from, start to finish
The game will be started at A o'clock

enthusiastic admirers of the game
Bynum, of course, will do the sphere
twirling for Americus, and in so
doing goes up aginst an Al artist in
OQuinn, the pitcher for Triton, who
has played professional ball this sea-
son with the Little Rocks and other
teams. His "spit-balls" are said to
be great, but the Americus bunch
feel confident of their ability to hit
him few with the willow. Mana
ger Bell will put up the best material
Americus affords, and while Triton
has won every game played this
far this season there is no need to
repeat history here. A great crowd
will go out this afternoon to see the
battle royal and root for the players.

EXPERT ROAD BUILDER
COMES TO SUMTER
CONGRESSMAN E. B. LEWIS HAS GOVERNMENT ROAD EXPERT TO
COME TO SUMTER SEE THE COUNTY ROADS AND ADDRESS
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON ROAD BUILDING

Hon E. B. Lewis, to the end of
securing good roads in the Third Con-
gressional district, has been instru-
mental in sending here a Government
expert in road-building, who will in
spect in large part the public roads
of Sumter county and advise there
upon.
This expert road builder comes to
Americus this morning.
At an early hour he will be taken
in charge by Supt. Paschal and
driven over several miles of county
road, that he may see the excellent
method now employed here.
By this means the expert is brought
directly in contact with the object
in view, and will thus have excellent
opportunity for making any sugges-
tions deemed necessary upon the line
of improved methods. The entire
morning will thus be employed.
At 1870 o'clock the Government
road builder will address the county
commissioners at the courthouse.
Members of the present board OF
commissioners, as we'll as the new
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-05-14

board, whose term of office begins
next January, will be invited to hear
the gentleman upon the very import
ant subject of good roads, and the
best methods of building them.
If requested to do so, the road ex-
pert will go into the county and ac-
tually build section of road upon
methods suggested.
Congressman Lewis is to be CON
graduated upon his success in Sc
curing the services of this expert
Government road builder to visit the
Third district in the interest of bet
ter roads. It is entirely in his line
of taking care of the interest of his
district
There is no subject upon which
the people in general, and more es-
pecially the farmers, are so vitally in
terested as that of good roads and the
deep concern evidenced by Congress-
man Lewis upon that line will be
fully appreciated
The road expert will spend today
in Sumter and will then visit other
counties of the Third district in the
interest of good roads.

TO MAKE ICE
WITHIN DAY OR TWO
Plant is Ready to Begin
Operation.

The ice factory of the Crystal Ice
Co., will start up tomorrow, in all
probability, as it was stated yester-
day that the first output of the sea-
son would be pulled Saturday The
force employed at the plant were
busy yesterday preparing for a be-
ginning of ice manufacture, and ev-
erything appeared in readiness last
night For the present the company
will use artesian water from the city S
mains in the making of ice and oper-
ating the plant. The company is
having a large ten inch well sunk
upon the premises, which will soon
afford an abundance of water. Yes
terday the contractor, Mr.. Chandler,
had reached a depth of more than
one hundred feet with the ten inch
piping and is making rapid progress
towards a flowing stream which it
is hoped will be reached at depth
of 800 feet.

WE MUST HAVE
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
If Not Children Will be Turned Away in FaII----Now
Crowded Together.
SCHOOL BONDS MUST BE SOLD FOR THIS PURPOSE

The school facilities of Americus
are in bad shape if current reports
are correct, and there is no doubt that
unless something is done toward
erecting new school buildings that
another year will find many children
unable to obtain admission to the
schools and deprived of an oppor-
tunity to obtain an education
AS it is now, the classes, especially
the lower ones, at the Furlow school
are unduly crowded so that the work
is done under great disadvantages.
Two classes in a room, and one
class having to go out into the yard
to recite, does not speak we'll for the
city.
The people of Americus have voted
bond issue to erect a school build
ing, or buildings, but the bonds have
not been issued. They have been
validated in the court; all that re-
mains to do is to issue them.

DISPOSED TO HOLD ON
FOR A HIGHER PRICE

Americus warehouses are storm
centers of interest during the past two
days as the cotton market hikes to
higher levels. All of the four ware
houses still hold considerable cotton,
and while some sales are made at
prices around 101a cents, the man
who was offered cents a week ago
and wanted 10 cents instead, is now
disposed to hold for still higher pric-
es. The present advance is probably
brought about by a squeeze" among
cotton gamblers, and the bottom may
again drop out of the market with a
suddenness calculated to jolt the
back teeth of the most rampant bull
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-05-14

Unless the bonds are ISSUED and
the school building or SuiIdings erect
ed it goes without saying that next
fall will see children clamoring for
admission to the schools and being
turned away.
This is a serious drawback to the
city. If people canot get their child
ren into the schools they will not
come to Americus or remain here if
they do come.
There is no use in Disgusting the
situation. The best course is always
to know the facts and face them 1t
is not pleasant to have to recite the
facts, but the Times-Recorder be-
lieves that it is its duty to set them
before the people. They have a right
to know the situation. Then they are
prepared to act.
We must have a new school build
ing. That is certain. The people
want it and the people will insist on

SECT. MITCHELL
MAY RESIGN
Board of Trade Discusses
Question of Salary.

The Board of Trade may lose the
valuable services Of Sect. Mitchell
Sect Mitchell, since his election to
the office two months ago has la
bored zealously for its upbuilding.
Although only receiving a nominal
salary of $25 a month he has given
the greater part of his time to its
work. Largely through his efforts
the membership has been built up
to 154 With equal efforts continued
over another month or two it is
probable that the total could be in
creased to 300.
At the meeting of the Board on
Tuesday night a resolution was in
troduced by Mr. Frank Sheffield to
increase the pay Of the secretary to
$50 a month. Mr. Sheffield stated that
this would be small compensation for
Mr.. Mitchell, who had demonstrated
what he could do in active and telling
work. Several other members spoke
on the same line
Sect Mitchell stated that while he
would regret to sever his official con
nection with the Board he could not
continue to sacrifice his business in
terests for meager salary, and that
he would have to tender his resigna-
ton if it were not possible to pay
him a salary somewhat commensurate
with the time and the services re-
quired
After some discussion it was de-
cided to refer the matter to the
Board of Directors with authority to
arrange if possible for the retention
of Mr. Mitchell's services as secre-
tary 1t is understood that Mr.
Mitchell is unwilling to remain in
that capacity unless the salary is
made $100 a month, so that he can
devote the greater part of his time
to the upbuilding of the organization
and the promotion of the city's in
terests.
No headquarters have yet been en-
gagged for the Board Several places
are under consideration and the COM
mittee in charge of this matter was
given further time.
1t is felt that with good headquar-
ters, with displays of industrial and
agricultural life here, and a deter
mined advertising campaign under an
efficient and pushing secretary the
Board can be made so great factor
in the city's progress that its mem
bership will be rapidly increased.

JUDGE ROSS, OF MACON, TO SPEAK HERE ON 18TH

Sumter will be the political storm
centre next week. Hoke Smith will
speak here, but he will be sand
wiched in between two Brown ora
tors who will give him something to
discuss and -endeavor to
set the people stright on
the governors record, his policies,
his failures and his threats, from the
Brown standpoint.
On next Saturday, May 16, Judge
John p Ross, of Macon will adress
the voters of Americus and Sumter
county in the interest of Hon Joseph
NJ. Brown. He will speak at 2:3O D.
m.
Judge Ross, who is one of the
best takers in Georgia, and a fine
campaigner, will give a straight-from-
the-shoulder talk He will deal with
the vital issues of the campaign, will
answer Gov. Smiths claims, and make
all in all one of the most interesting
addresses the people of Sumter have
ever had an opportunity to hear.
Gov Smith will speak in the morn
ing of Tuesday following, May 10Th
The governor will doubtless speak
along the lines of his addresses in
other places, charging that the
brewers have raised a million dol
lar campaign fund, that the L. & N.
railroad is trying to control Georgia,
that the negroes are rallying to the
Brown standard, denying that he is
in any wise responsible for the busi-
ness depression, and generally de-
Tending his policies and administra-
ton. The governor is an interesting
