FRIENDS OF BROWN TO
BE SENT TO ATLANTA
To Attend the Convention
June 23d.

In Americus as elsewhere in the
state greatest interest attaches to the
forthcoming state convention which
will be held as the result of the re-
cent primary. The convention will
meet in Atlanta on Tuesday, June %
just two weeks from this date, and
will be in session one day.
1t is the day before the Legislature
convenes, and will be an interesting
era in politics.
Sumter county will have four dele
gates in the State Convention, but as
yet the selection Of these representa-
tfves has not been completed adm is
left to the friends here of Mr. Brown,
the successful candidate
Upon this line GOV-Elect Brown
makes the following announcement: !:
Il request my friends in every
county to see to it that the rule ofthe
state democratic executive committee
be complied with in the matter of
selecting delegates to the state con-
ventiOn, and secure the appointment
Of delegates favorable to the policies
set forth in my announcement and
to my candidacy.
Il would be glad for the officers of
the various Brown clubs in the state
to confer with other friends and
agree upon delegates to be presented
and in counties where they were no
clubs that my active supporters and
friends confer upon delegates"
Rule 8 as amended at the last meet
ing Of the Democratic executive COM
mittee provides for the selection OF
delegates for the convention as fol-
lows:
Rule 8. Recognizing the success
full candidate for governor at said pri-
mary as being the official exponent
OF the party policies for the term of
two years, the delegates to the con-
yentiOn shall be selected by the
county executive committees from
the frineds and supporters of the
state policies advocated by such
candidate for governor"
Under this regulation the delegates
who are to represent Sumter county
in Atlanta at the state convention on
Tuesday, June 23d, will be named.
The four delegates who are to rep
resent Sumter in Atlanta on June 23d
will probably be selected by the
prominent Brown supporters in this
county These names will be agreed
upon by them and then presented tc
Chairman Sheppard of the county exc
cutive committee with the request
that he approve them.
The new rule gives the successful
party the right to name their own
delegates. and such selection will pro
badly be confirmed at once by the
county chairmen. no matter how
these chairmen felt in the campaign.

BIG INDIANS EN- ROUTE
TO PLAY IN AMERICUS
Cherokee Reds on SCaIpiRg
Tour.

Real Indian batters, runners, spiel
ers, rooters and ball artists general
ly are coming to Americus on Thurs
day of next week, 18th inst, to get
the scalp of the local leviathans or
else lose their own head feathers in
two novel games to be played at the
Americus Park.
The coming of the Cherokees has
been anticipated for some time in
local balloon, and the official signing
yesterday of the articles of war in
sures the scalp-dance.
Two games will be played in Ameri-
Gus, afternoon and night.
These Cherokee braves originated
the idea of playing baseball by cleo
trio light as we'll as by daylight, and
come to Americus equipped with the
necessary paraphernalia of lighting
up the earth and making Rome howl.
The scalp dancers, besides being
all round players in the daylight CO.
tilliOn, carry about with them an en-
gine and electric dynamo of $4,000
candle power, and propose to light up
the park in a manner that will shame

they will yell play ball

PAPER MAKING
EATS UP PULP
Use of Wood Doubles in
I9 Years.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June "a
preliminary report of the consumption
of pulpwoOd and the amount of pulp
manufactured last year has just been
issued 10y the BUreau If the Census.
The advance statement IS made from
the statistics collected by the Cen
sus Bureau in cooperation with the
United States Forest Service.
Many of the figures bring out inter-
esting facts which show the rapid
growth of the paper making and al
lied industries during the last de-
cade. Nearly four million cords Of
wood were used in the United States
in the manufacture of paper pulp last
year, just twice as much as was used
in 1899, the first year for which de-
tailed figures were available More
than two and One-half million tons of
pulp were produced. The pulp mills
used 10000 more cords of wood in
The amount of spruce used was 68
per cent of the total consumption of
pulpwOOd, or 100000 cords. The
increased price of spruce has turned
the attention of paper manufacturers
to number of other woods, hemlock
ranking next, with $4,000 cords. or
IA per cent of the total consumption
More than 9 per cent was popular.
and the remainder consisted of rel
atlVely small amounts of pine, cot
tonWood, balsam and other woods.
There was a marked increase last
year in the importation of spruce,
which has always been the most pop
ular wood for pulp. For a number of
years manufacturers of this country
have been heavily importing spruce
from Canada, since the available sup
ply of this wood in the north-central
and New England states, where most
of the pulp mills are located. is not
equal To the demand,

SCHEDULE OF TRAIN is
GOOD ONE. AS STATED
Leaves AmeriCuS at Con-
venient Hour.

Americus, as we'll as Albany and in
termediate points, will have a most
excellent schedule to Macon and At
lanta on and after next Sunday, 14th,
if plans now proposed are put in
force, relative to Central Railway
trains Nos. and 8.
These are the Central night trains
on this division, and about which much
has been said recently before the
Railway commission and in the state
press as we'll.
These trains are operated only as
far as Americus at present, but next
Sunday will go through to Albany,
so it was stated yesterday.
Trains No. Z, arriving here now
at 1925, will go on to Albany, re-
turning next morning as No. 8, to AM
ericus, Macon and Atlanta But the
proposed change in the hour Of de-
parture from Albany to 5:45 o'clock
will render it more popular
Leaving Albany at $40 this train
will pass Americus about o'clock in
the morning, reaching Macon about
$50, and Atlanta about 1 or 1:30 in
the afternoon
This would render it an excellent
train for shoppers.
Not only can people come here from
points south of Americus at a more
reasonable hour o'clOck-do their
shopping and return home at noon,
but one can still leave Americus for
Macon or Atlanta by it, and return
here at 1925 the same night.
Such is the schedule outlined, and
everyone here and along the line
would be glad to see it put into eff
feet at an early date

In an address at Springfield, ILL.,,

Bryan had accumulated million
dollars selling wind and Ink to the pub
lie. +" To this Mr.. Bryan after stating
that Cannon had, during the last forty
seven years, held Office more than
forty years of the time and thirty five
years Of that time had been member
of congress drawing a salary that
members of congress thought so made
quate that the salary has recently been
increased, asked the following peril
nent question:
"Will he tell US what he has been
selling, to whom he has sold it and how
much he got for it? He ought to tell
US whether he has made any money
lecturing or writing, that is by selling
the wind and ink, to use his own choice
language. He has been greatly ham,
pered in the accumulation of money
by strict attention to public duties,
and yet he is reputed to be wealthy. If
he will tell us just how much he is
worth we can then guess how much he
might have been worth had he been
free to devote his talents to money
making"
Mr.. Bryan also gave detailed state
ment of his accumulations, placing it
at not to exceed $3.50, 200, all of which
was honestly earned.
