Last Night.

In the presence of large assemb-
lage of those taking the initial de-
gree the local lodge, Order of the
Eastern Star, was formally instituted

corps of officers recently elected were

sor Hotel, while Mrs. Hubbard was
the guest of Mrs. John NJ Goolsby.

ed through several hours.
More than sixty ladies and gentle
men, Masons and the wives, daughters
and sisters of Masons, presented
themselves for the membership de-
grees, and the new lodge, Order OF
the Eastern Star, just instituted here
begins its career under brightest aus
pices.

BUNCH OF JAGS SMALL
DURING THE MONTH
AmeriCus Has Fine Record
Thus Far.

When the Funnel Club held for;r
here in Americus last year the bunch
of jags exhibited in police court
every Monday morning, and other
mornings as WE'LL insured a session
of an hour and poured a pint of sill
yer dollars into the exchequer. But
there's nothing doing now, jagetically
or financially, and the police court
room on Monday mornings looks like
a deserted Sunday School Yester-
day was no exception to the new rule
established January 1st, and the po-
lice looked disconsolately at the un-
written pages of the record book and
the empty cells, which once held the
unbleached revelers in dozen lots.
For Americus has "refawmed" and is
staying strictly sober. Chief Feagin
stated yesterday that during the en-
tire month of January, to date, there
had been only four or five arrests for
drunkenness, and one of these was
a DeSoto negro who took a plunge
in cane skimmings billed over" as he
told the police.

TRADE OF ABUSE WAS
ABOUT AS EXPECTED
Wirz Shaft Has Stirred
South HaterS.

Many Americus people who read in
the press dispatches yesterday the
TRADE of abuse hurled at the dead
Major Wirz by G. A. R. veterans in
the North, only smiled at the calumny
thus heaped upon him. The outburst
was quite expected, in view of their
hatred of the dead officer, but is none
the less regretted here.
In the meanwhile, work upon the
Wirz monument is being pushed at
the Clark marble works here in Am
ericus, and it will be completed upon
contract time,
And the inscriptions, as appeared
in Sundays Times-Recorder, will be
placed upon it.
In view of the storm of indignation,
real or assumed, kicked up in the
north by the more fanatical element
of south haters, regret is expressed
that the monument is not to be erect
ed here in Americus, as was suggest
ed last summer
Erected here, it would serve every
purpose and, besides, would be in
sured against possible desecration.
Erected at Andersonville, some overt
act, may occur which would still
further estrange the two sections.
even though it did not bring on a
more serious clash there.
Americus rendered the u. D. G. a
monument site, and would have con-
tributed even more literally had the
shaft been erected here,
But the u. d, G. at the Augusta
meeting last October, determined to
place the Wirz monument at Ander-
sonville, the scene of the operations
as. commander of the Federal prison
pen in 1864, and it will be erected
there in June next
The exact site for the shaft has
not yet been selected
Of course, it cannot be reared any
where near the National Cemetery, or
Prison Park, or upon any land be-
longing to the Government, and
some site near the depot in the lit
tie town will be selected.
The fact that this has not been done
already may possibly give the U. D.
c. some trouble, as effort may now
be made by opponents of the move
ment to prevent the purchase of an
eligible location. Such a one has
been decided upon in a way, but no
deed to it has yet been secured.
The spokeswoman for the Relief
Corps, an auxiliary to the G.. A r..
threatens in retaliation for the Wirz
monument to replace in Prison Park
the Infamous inscription once there
depicting the horrors of Anderson
vile, but which were taken down
year or two ago and destroyed
The WirZ monument has stirred up
a tempest. Of that fact there is not
the slightest doubt.

MAXON is CHOSEN AS
BISHOP OF THE STATE
Minister of Michigan Is
Selected.

Americus Episcopalians are great
ly interested in the statement sent
out yesterday to the effect that Rev.
DR.. Maxon of Detroit, would be elect
ed to the bishopric of Georgia at the
convention of the diocese of the
state, which convenes in Augusta,

gia was divided into two dioceses, the
southern diocese of which Savannah
is the see city, retaining the title
of diocese of Georgia. It is this
diocese that it is reported that Dr.
MaXon will be elected bishop. The
northern diocese, of which Atlanta
is the see city, is known as the
diocese of Atlanta, and Bishop Nell

there at present is the. smallest in
years. Among them is L. G. Joiner,
the convicted forger, under a SEN

twenty-five sportsmen participated

THE SPORT OF ALL SPORTS.

In all the history of baseball there
has never been such an exciting dnish
to the race between teams in both the
major leagues as this week is seeing.
Literally millions of people are watch
ing the struggle with an interest ap-
preaching delirium and the interest
has reached the farthest confines of
the nation Even here in Salt Lake,
where there is no opportunity to see
any of the games, the newspaper Of
fees are besieged by crowds waiting
for the bulletins, the telephones are in
constant service for people who want
TO know how each game is progress
ing by innings; in the most remote
country towns there is a demand for
long-distance service on the results,
and the press associations have been
compelled TO give bulletins on their
pony" lines where the news is usu-
ally limited to brief condensed reports
of great happenings.
The psychologist, may wonder why
such tremendous attention is given TO
why, even when he is not able to an
alyze the reason. 1t is because the
game involves all the finest qualities
Of stratagem; it requires quick think
ing, almost instantaneous action, gen.
eralship OF the very highest order and
physical fitness equal to the most eX-
traordinary strain. Better than that,
the national game as played in the
big leagues is ION the dead square.
Everybody knows horse racing is
suspicion. even the college games
where none but amateurs are supposed
to enter, are not above criticism. But
in the baseball field the record is abso-
lutely clean, and that of itself is
enough to make it attractive. Then,
too. almost every American man has
played ball himself as a boy and young
man. 1t is distinctively national In its
spirit and in the elements which go to
make success. II has a snap and vim
about it that fairly lifts the spectators
off their feet, and it furnishes such
thrills as can be had nowhere else ex-
cept on a real battlefield.
That is why more than 10000 people
went to see one game in Chicago and
almost as many went to another game
on the same day in the same city.
That is why a whole nation is taking
more interest today in the race be-
tween Chicago and New. York in the
national league, and between Cleve-
land. Detroit and Chicago in the Amer
lean league, than they are showing in
the presidential campaign or any other
subject of the day.

THE STATE FAIR.

To adopt Barnums language, the
state fair which opened yesterday is
bigger. better, more glorious than all
its predecessors; and that is saying d
good deal. 1t shows in panoramic form
the products OF the state, the material
factors in its growth and wealth; it
shows the marvellous results of intel
ligent farming and stock-raising, as
we'll as the products of the manufac-
turers and the raw material they use.
Only one thing could make it more
valuable as story of the states
greatness, and that would be to have
it made permanent, so that the casual
visitor might see for himself how
Utah is achieving its magnificent des-
tiny.
If you haven I, been TO the fair make
your arrangements to go; and if you
have been, you'll certainly want to so
again. 1t contains amusement as well
as instruction; and even brief
glimpse of its exhibits will make you
prouder of your state and more con-
tent to be a part Of its development.

TAFT AT CHURCH..

William Howard Taft, Republican
candidate for president, has developed
the church. going habit since his NOM
information every Sunday night that
Mr.. Taft heard some orthodox ser
mon during the day. Which puts us
in mind of what the Saturday Evening
Post said of the trip to Middle Bass
island:
But there is one consoling thought
brought home in the dispatches from Vir-
GINA Hot Springs. 1t was decided TO make
an itinerary for Mr.. Taft. when he went
to Middle Bass island, that would pre-
clude his travelling on Sunday HE

Saturday night
This was very gratifying to the Repub-
lican campaign managers. They had no
fears that Mr.. Taft would travel on Sun
day. Of course. but they didn't know but
to think about it they would have discov-
cred instantly how absurd their fears
We're. Mr.. Taft never travels on Sunday.
OF course not When he was making his
trip around the world he stopped on the
steppes of Siberia every Sunday and the
boat always hove to on the first day of
every week on edCh OIL the dozen or so
times he crossed the Pacific. Also, when
he was jogging about the country. max

1t isn't material whether the Repub-
Iican candidate attends church or not
If he does, all right; if he doesn't,
that's his business. No votes are made
by sending out stories either way. Of
course it would be different If he
strayed into a Methodist revival and
got religion" Snapshots of the pres
ident's choice at the mourner's bench
would bring a goodly sum. while a
photographic record of his expert

we are to have anything about Taft
at church next Sunday, let us hope that
we shall be informed that he met with
his Unitarian brethren at least once
during the campaign.
