DEMOCRATIC CLUB
HAS BEEN LAUNCHED
Will Reach Into Every Mil
itary District.

The Sumter County Democratic
Club was organized last night and is
to be a permanent institution.
In response to a call issued by
County Chairman E. A. Nisbet ant
State Committeeman G. R. Ellis
nearly two score of Democratic work
ers gathered in the council chamber
Of the city hall last night to partici-
pate in the forming of a central body
whose duty it should be to look after
| the interests of the Democracy in
state and national elections.
A quiet determination pervaded the
meeting. The utmost harmony pre-
vailed, every one present watching
closely the development of the meet
ing.
AS a guest of honor for the occasion
Congressman-Elect Dudley M. Hughes
was present, and was invited to a
seat beside the Chairman. The short
talk given by the visitor was appre-
ciated by the audience, the address be-
ing applauded more than once.
The meeting was called to order by
County Chairman Nisbet Judge Chas
R. Crisp was chosen temporary chair
man, being succeeded by Hon Craw-
ford Wheatley as permanent chair
man. Mr.. Cleveland Webb was chosen
as permanent secretary.
Assuming the chair Mr.. Wheat
ley made a string talk. He declared
that the eyes Of the nation were on
Georgia, whose state election was the
next one. A big majority for Brown
would be taken as a good omen for
Bryan and would enthuse the Demo-
cratic forces over the nation Geor-
gia had more than once given the
largest Democratic majority in the
Union, and it beloved every Democrat
to work for the same end again.
The first question brought up was
the appointment of workers in the va
riOus military districts. Judge Crisp,
Mr.. c. R. Ellis, Capt. John A. Cobb
and others took part in the discussion.
On motion of Judge Crisp, it was
decided to elect five members of the
central committee from the Twenty
seventh district, and these, with the
President and Secretary, were to Sc
lect Vice-president, secretary and
member Of the central committee from
each military district.
The following were nominated and
unanimously elected: Mr. e. A Mis-
bet, Capt John A Cobb, Judge c. R.
Crisp W. T. Lane and G, r. Ellis.
On motion Of Col. w T. Lane the
organization was made permanent
one. Messrs. Lane, Fort and Nisbet
were appointed a committee to pre-
pare a constitution and bylaws.
Mr. Nisbet brought up the matter
of an invitation to Hon. Joseph NJ.
Brown to visit Americus at an early
date. He spoke of the messages which
had been sent to Valdosta during the
day, to which no reply had been re-
ceived as yet. Some doubt seemed to
exist as to where Mr. Brown was at
the time Mr.. Nisbet moved that a
committee, with the President as
chairman, be appointed to invite Mr.
Brown to Americus as guest of the
Sumter County Democratic Club. Mr.
Nisbet was made secretary of the COM
mittee.
Getting new members for the club
was brought up. Various methods
were proposed, one being to get sig
natures to paper pledging the sign
ers to vote for Brown and Bryan.

Many of the smaller pupils who

is SELLING THE BONDS
TO BUILD THE ROAD
AmeriCuS TO Have Interur-
ban Line Yet.

Americus people who have not Civ
en- up hope of securing the interuban
electric railway are interested in the
announcement, just made, that Presi-
dent Jordan Masse, of Macon is now
in Europe working off the large is
sue of bonds that will be required to
produce the financial backing for the
enterprise
In this country Mr.. E. H. Hartman
is behind the scheme for financiering
the system Of electric railways that
will be built. President J. F. Hanson
of the Central railroad, is also said to
be closely interested.
The interurban line. as well known,
will be built from Atlanta via Grif-
fin and Macon to Americus and AL
bany
Already the entire line of route has
been surveyed and accepted by the
company, and nothing remains but to
furnish the money and begin the work
Of construction. The line was sur
veyed through Americus long ago and
franchises given.
When President Massee left last
week, he went Immediately to New
York, and there it was decided to go
to Europe. Mr. Massee has the nee
essary letters of credit for his under
taking and will devote several weeks
to meeting the capitalists of the old
country
His will be an effort to bring
European capital to Georgia to be
used in the gigantic power-producins
plants and the electric railway lines.
An immense plant is under con-
structiOn at Albany and another is
being built near Jackson, Ga, on the
Ocmulgee There will be enough
power plants to support a network of
interurban railways from one end of
the state to the other.
The general public and business
men who have been watching the
movements for the electric railways,
have long since quit the idea that this
gigantic undertaking is a dream Ev-
cry movement is being watched with
great deal more interest.
That Americus will be vastly bene-
fitted by the construction of this
line goes without the saying.

ENTHUSIASM FOR
Y. M. G. A. CAMP PAlGN
Sunday Mass Meeting
Proved Great Success.

The rally on Sunday afternoon in
the interest of the Y. NJ c. A. was
well attended, and great interest
aroused by the spirited talks of min
listers and citizens. The auditorium
was we'll filled by those interested in
the success of the institution, and the
appreciative audience was well enter
tanned in brief addresses by Rev.
Rev. J. B. Lawrence, Rev. o. P. Gill
bert and others. Assurance was given
that the sum of $4,000 required to
complete and equip the building
would be raised within thirty days
Rev. Bascom Anthony strongly urged
the need of the Y NJ C. A, declaring
that it was the nature of the boy to
glory in his strength. The gymnasi-
um of the Y NJ. G. A. was a great
place to attain this development A
sound mind in a sound body was what
was needed. The speaker expressed
his regret that he had not had the ad-
vantages of stch a training when
young man. Physical strength great
ly aided mental achievements.
Rev. O. P Gilbert thought the COM
pletion of the building should be a
matter of civic pride. He believed
that Americus would respond to the
call
Mr. John w SILVER expressed the
pride of the city in the work thus far
He did not believe that the people of
Americus would stand back on pro-
viding the remaining $4,000 needed.
Mr. j. R. Perry saw no ground for
Encouragement. On numerous oc-
casions Americus had responded to
calls for good work, and he was con-
fident the citizens would rally to the
support of the magnificent enterprises
which was so near completion The
speakers faith in the outcome of the
campaign for the balance needed had
an inspiring effect on his hearers.
Dr. w E. Staley and Mr.. F. w.
Griffin made short talks along the
line of a belief in the success of the
call for additional funds needed.

PROMPT WORK ON
GETTING EXHIBITS
Board of Trade Asks for
Sample Products.

A meeting of the Board of Trade
has been called for Friday night to
consider the immediate opening of
the Exhibit room for the display Of
products of farm ana factories in
Sumter county. This was decided on
at a meeting Of the committees on
Manufacture and Agriculture held AT
the office of President Allen yester-
day afternoon.
Since Sept. ! the Board of Trade has
had the building at 305 Lamar street
rented for the purpose of providing
a place for exhibits Of Sumter county
products, but very little has been done
toward getting together samples Of
the output of field and factory.
Every farmer and every manufact-
urer is urged to bring in samples of
their products next Monday. These
articles will be given a good place in
the exhibition which is being arrang-
ed Cotton bolls, corn, wheat, large
stalks of cane and in fact choice spec
linens of every kind of farm product,
including fruit, will be most welcome.
Canned fruits viii be in special de-
mand. Every kind of article manu-
featured within the limits of the city
and county is greatly desired, andran
urgent invitation is extended to every
manufacturer to send in a sample of
his work on next Monday.
Arrangements will be made to keep
the exhibit open each day 1t is
thought that this can be done at a
small cost Visitors to the city will
be brought around by their friends,
and prospective manufacturers or res
idents will be given a view of the
achievements of this county to date.
1t is the firm belief of Sumter citi-
zens that this is the garden spot of
Georgia, and visible evidences will be
offered through the medium of theex-
hibits to be collected by the Board of
Trade. The display will certainly be
of great advantage to the Board of
Trade in interesting prospective in
vestors in the possibilities of the
city and county

POLICE IN TIGER HUNT
FIND BOOZE IN PLENTY
Emmett Clark is Jailed on
Charge

Charged with selling liquor, Bm-
NETT Clark was arrested at his home
| on Elm avenue. here at an early hour
Sunday morning, and along to the
| barracks with him the nolice brought
fourteen bottles of oil of joy which
they found in Clarks house
In lieu of bond, which was assessed
at 81 900, Clark was put in Jail, where
he still is.
The raid on the Clark home was
made at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
| officers Barrow and Cloud and Deputy
+ Sheriff Fuller made up the party of
early callers.
They found the house lighted and
evidently something doing. In fact,
on looking into window, which was
raised and the blinds tipped, the Off
GERS assert that they saw plenty to
warrant them in getting busy and
making the arrests.
The officers state that they stood at
the window for quite a long while and
thus secured what evidence they may
have desired.
Another white man whom, the Off
GERS assert, was making purchase
at the time, was brought along to
town together with Clark and the
fourteen TASKS of jigwater, but later
he was released as a witness.
Bond was assessed at $1,000 and in
lieu of this the prisoner was locked
up. This is the second charge pre-
ferred against white men for alleged
sale of liquor here this year, the
case against Stanford at Leslie last
week being the other
Both cases, quite likely, will be
called before Judge Ch&s. R. Crisp in
the city court next week.

Third District, Mr. Charles H. Evans.
Il am not going to vote for Yancey
Carter" said Mr.. Evans yesterday. Il
am going to vote for Joe Brown. It's
a puzzle to me to find out just where
Carter got on. He seems to have
tagged on to the Independence Party
via the aid of Mr.. Suttler Carter
voted for Hoke Smith, as he says
publicly, and I don't see how he can
afford to run against the successful
nominee. Certainly the Independence
party is under no obligations to sup
port Carter, as the party named has
a national ticket but no state ticket.
