TO OPPOSE
WOODWARD
r. F. Maddox
Chosen BY
Citizens
Atlanta Disguised With the
Primary Nominee

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 13.-(Special)-
An opponent will contest the mayor
atty with James G. Woodward, the
primary nominee who got so glorious
ly drunk on cough drops" while in
the tenderloin section of the city re-
Gently. Hon. Robert F. Maddox, Vice
President of the American National
Bank, and ex-president of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, has consented
to make the race.
BY a unanimous vote at a second
session of citizens held this afternoon
to agree on a candidate to oppose
Woodard, the choice fell on Mr.. R. F.
Maddox. With extreme reluctance
Mr. Maddox consented to make the
race He is one of Atlanta's leading
citizens and is backed by the better
element of the city, regardless OF
party The recent disgraceful con-
duct of Woodward disgusted a large
number of the voters who supported
him in the primary, believing in his
earnest promises to reform. During
his former term as Mayor he was ac-
cused of drunkness, but the people had
faith in his promise to reform this
time, and he was made the nominee
of the Democratic party
Woodward was arraigned in police
court this afternoon on charge of
disorderly conduct, the case going ov-
er until next Tuesday afternoon. The
case against William Oldknow, who
was with Woodward, was postponed
on account of the absence of two wo-
men witnesses. Judge Broyles ord
cred the arrest of these women

MAY MOVE THE FENCES
TO SAVE THE TREES
Residents of Church Ready
to Do SO.

Rather than have the beauty of
their street marred for a half CEN
tury, residents of Church street, be-
tween Hampton and Dudley streets,
are ready to set back their yard fen
ces and give to the city narrow
strip of land for sidewalk improve
ments. This proposition, is is said,
has been made to property owners on
the North side of Church and all
of these. with one exception, had
readily consented yesterday morning
and doubtless the remaining one. has
agreed therto ere this. AS the resi-
dences along the street are built very
near the pavement such act of gener-
osity upon the part of property own
ers is commendable. Rather than see
the trees damaged or cut down, in
order that the paving of the side
walks may be more easily done, they
are willing to give the city additional
sidewalk space by setting back their
fence line two feet. 1t is hoped that
the problem may thus be solved, and
that no more of these handsome oaks
will be cut down

SALE OF FURNITURE Is
STILL AT THE BEST

Americus has witnessed a series
of sales recently, and the magnificent
bargains offered in the closing out
sale of handsome stock of the May
nard Furniture Co., has appealed to
discriminating buyers as has no
other. This new and handsome stock
of furniture was purchased by the
Allsion Furniture Co. which pro-
poses to close out every piece of it
at the old stand To this end Mana
ger Clarence Davis put the prices
away down-cheaper than the goods
can be bought again at the factories
and the daily sales of handsome
bedroom and parlor suits, odd chairs
desks crockery, etc, evidence the
appreciation of the buying public
Such handsome furniture has never
before been sold so low in Americus

MAJESTIC THEAIER
DOING FINE BUSINESS

At the Majestic Theater last night the
attendance was fine. The pictures
were clearly thrown on the screen
by Operator Woods The films were
of absorbing interest and told in
pantomime their own easily interpre-

the evening was the music dispensed
by the Americus Orchestra while
the films were being run The sing

of these will be heard at each per-

Ever since the Majestic opened,
three evenings ago, a splendid busi-

night over 500 people came in, the
theater being filled all the time, many
being unable to gain admittance The

TAKING STOCK AT
GEO. D. WHEATLEY'S
Disposition of Goods To Be
Decided On

Stock taking still continues at the
store of Mr.. George d. Wheatley. The
receiver is also making out accounts,
and already hundreds of dollars have
been collected. When the taking OF
stock is completed, decision will
be reached as to the manner in which
the stock will be disposed Of II
might be that the receiver would
conclude that bargain sale for a
few days would be advantageous, OIL
the whole stock might be sold in a
lump
Mr.. Wheatley stated yesterday that
he was exceedingly gratified at the
many expressions of confidence which
he had received from his friends
Talk on the streets has also been
most favorable to Mr. Wheatley, ii
being recognized that he is an ex-
pert dry goods man, having for thirty
years been gathering his knowledge
of the business.

PLtNTY OF TURKEY AT
FEAST OF THANKS
AmeriCuS to FeIiCitate As
Heretofore.

The wolf cry of no turkey for
Thanksgiving has been heard again,
but, like the usual autumnal vail of
no cotton crop it loses its potency
through too frequent repetition.
There are plenty of turkeys, and
Americus will feast as usual Local
dealers assert that the market will
be as well supplied as heretofore, and
prices will range about the same Al
ready several wagon loads of the
royal emblems of American liberty
adorn the coops about town, while
other wagon loads of the toothsome
turks have been bought from farm
ers near the city and will be deliv-
cred in due season for the season
ing. Hundreds of dressed turkeys
will be received here from Tennes-
see, where is a great slaughter just
before each Thanksgiving, but still
more-and live ones-will be brought
from the country, These will be the
ones most sought, and the kind that
command the best~ price. Last year
at this time there was turkey fam
inc abroad in the land and many
went turkey-less on Thanksgiving
This year, however, there will be no
occasion for an incomplete dinner
which means that many of these no.
BILE fowls, even in this state alone,
will receive the axe where the maid
en- wore the beads.

ing the new series of postage stamps
which will be placed on sale next
Monday The first United States
postage stamps issued came out in
1847, sixty-one years ago Since
then there have been hundreds OF
designs, but none of them has pos
sessed the artistic merit which is
claimed for the new ones. At pres
ent the highest denomination in use
is the five dollar stamp There is
also two dollar stamp, but after the
present supply is exhausted there
will be none higher In value than

FAIR QUITE A SUCCESS
WILL Be REPEATED
Many Exhibit By Farmers
of Stewart.

Mr.. w. l.. Mardre was in Americus
yesterday, and quite enthusiastic over
the success of the Stewart county fair
at Lumpkiin, far exceeding the ex-
pectations of those who worked to
make it the best little county fair the
people there have yet attempted.
"It is an example that Americus
and Sumter county might follow with
profit" said Mr. Mardre, and the ar
gument admits of no denial.
The Stewart fair, a one day oc-
casion, was held in the public square,
and the people of both town and coun-
ty took an interest therein. The ex-
hibits of livestock and farm products
were excellent, as were those in all
departments.
The special attractions of the day
were the Georgia raised mules and
horses, hay and canned goods put
up in the county The baby show
came in for its share of the amuse-
ments of the day, in fact more inter-
est centered around this feature than
most any other.
Master Aubry Womble, a nine
months-old youngster, easily captur-
ed the prize.
The prize offered to the most beau
tiful young lady in attendance was
won nv Misc Mary Lena Humber The
judges for this task were unknown to
the people on the grounds, and in
fact it was agreed that their names
should never become public.
The people here are already talking
of the 1909 fair, and old Stewart
county, instead of being dead
county. will show the people of Geor-
gia that the reverse only is true.

THINKS THE NEAR" is
NOT REALLY SO BAD
Head of State League Is
Pleased.

Speaking in Columbus at the in
vitation of the local anti-saloon
league, DR.. T. D. Ellis, of Macon,
state president of the league, said
that in his opinion the prohibition
law is the best enforced law on the
statute books of Georgia He said
that wonders had been accomplished
over the state, as whole, in re-
ducing drunkenness and crime and
that the record for the ten months
since the law has been in existence
has surpassed anticipations. He ex-
pressed the opinion that near beer
was not such a bad thing as many
people thought. as great many peo-
pie buy it instead of sending off for
whiskey.

MOTLEY
HOME RULE LEADER SAID TO
HAVE ANGERED KUHIo AGAINST
HUSTACE

Charley Motley is now given the
responsibility for the Republican con-
vention row which aroused so much
bitter feeling and put Charley Hus-
tace out of the mayor fight. Prince
Kuhio's anger is said to have been
aroused against Hustace, causing the
sensational attack he made in the con-
vention, by a letter from Motley, in
which Hustace was set forth as offer
ing to give Motley support. 1t is well
known that Hustace wrote to the
Home Rule convention, asking the
support of it's voters, on the assump-
ton that it wasn't going to name its
own candidate for mayor and might
endorse him.
The letter to Kuhio, however, went
further than this. 1t accused Hus-
tace of Offering to support Motley. 1t
was a canard, and had not even a bit
of foundation, but it made kuhio mad
and he allowed his Lane enthusiasm
to run riot. This is the story told by
friend of Kuhio, who rebuked him
for being taken in by a fake charge
against Hustace.
