THE MUNICH OF MELONS
HEARD IN THE LAND
AmpriCuS is Enjoying Great
Prosperity.

With the sudden dawn of greater
prosperity Americus is doubly bless
ed with the dawn of the Georgia wa
termelOn, a season ever dear to the
heart of the native regardless of his
walk in life. The first ones of the
season dawned upon the horizon of
our happiness yesterday, and JOY
unutterable spread over the land
True, these first ones are none too
choice, but they are the advance
guard of finer ones that will come
rolling later, and ere another fort
night the allied forces of Joax and
Hoax can sit alongside by the road
side and, tearing the dripping red
heart Of melon from it's fastenings,
pledge eternal fealty and fraternal
love. With peaches and melons for
the asking, with smiling fields of
corn and cotton stretching like a great
panorama throughout old Sumter. ev-
cry man should love his fellow man
and join the halIelujah chorus.

TRAIN NO. 7 CONTINUES
TO STOP IN AMERICUS
Instead of Going Through
to Albany.

Train No. Z, Atlanta to Americus,
will stop over in this city tonight,
making it the end of the run, in
stead of going through to Albany
Such was the announcement made
in local railway circles yesterday
somewhat to the surprise of the
public
The populace will wonder what
the Railroad Commission is going to
do about it, if anything
Has the commission snaked on the
order given by that body, three Or
four days before the recent election,
or is the Central Railway Co., await
ing further argument before acting?
Central Railway train No. 7, has
already dashed into the limelight in
Georgia and assumed an attitude of
statewide interest. Twice within
sixty days the Commission has pass
ed upon it, first annulling and next
restoring this night schedule.
The territory covered is only SO
miles-Americus to Albany.
Recently delegation of Albanians
went before the Railroad Commission
and requested that the Central be
made to resume the schedule. Ameri-
Gus sent no delegation to support tbs
plea, though willing that the schedule
be resumed
Merchants who had discussed the
matter took no interest therein and
did not go before the Commission,
leaving the matter of resumption of
schedule with that body.
1t was upon the eve of the cleo
ton; Dougherty county was in doubt !;
Albany made the demand for the
resumption of trains, and this was
promised Three days later Dougher-
ty voted, and went contrary to ex-
pectation-that is-somebody's ex-
pectatiOn.
And now it is said that Central
train No. Z will not go through to AL
bany-at least, not tonight Some
times there is politics aboard trains

A life on the ocean wave appeals to

So many young men yesterday ap-

tenant Commander Olmstead thought
they must have mistagen his place of
business for a free lunch counter.
The fact that many men are out of
work is given as one reason for the
rush Of embryo sailors. Another is
that large part of the floating popu-

pressed with the magnificent treatment
accorded the bluejackets while the fleet

ADMINISTRATION WILL WAIT
UNTIL PLATFORM Is PASSED

WASHINGTON. June 16.-This state
ment was issued from an authoritative
source today:
"An exchange of kilograms over night
Lstween Washington and Chicago indi-
ca les that there will be no developments
so far as the administration Is con-
cerned in the matter of the soliciting
of a candidate for vice president here
until after the platform shall have been
disposed of and nominee for the presi-
dency shall have been named"
1t is understood that the above state
ment was issued with the distinct pur-
pose of ave Ing complication of the
vice presidency with that of the presi-
Dental nomination, reflection over night
has only strengthened the determine
ton of the war secretary to insist upon
the inclusion in the Republican party
platform of the anti-injunction plank
on the lines of that telegraphed last
night.
Therefore a long telegram went for
ward from the war department today to
Frank Hitchcock, Secretary Taft's Chi
cago manager, instructing him to in
sist upon the anti-injunction plank.
