MIDDLETON'S NAME
WILL BE ON OFFICIAL BALLOT
 FOR CONGRESS-.
Rsiing of Attorney General Garber AL lows !. O. Middleton To Run
 en Republican and Peo-
 ple's Ticket Tn Fouxth nfafr4ef

By a ruling of Attorney Gerenai Alex M. Garber. made Thursday orr re : quest of Cyrus B. Brown. Chief Clerk to the Secretary of State, .he name of !. o. Middleton. of shelby County. will appear on he offluiaI ballot in the Fourth District to Ie voted for as the Peoples Party candidate to succeed Congressman W. B. Craig, the Demo- cratic incumbent. N
 Secretary of State Frank N. Julian received. September 8, certificate of nomination from Probate Judge A. F. Longshore. of Shelby County, to the ef- feet that Mir. Middleton was the chuica of that county expressed at e mass meeting for Congress from the Fourth District. The certificate was othsr- wise in due form. It only showed however. that the members of the Peoples Party In Shelby County had assembled at Columbiana, August 31, and nominated MT. Middleton.
 The ofiioiai receiving and filing of the certihcate was held up by the Sec. retary of State. He doubted the legal itS of putting on the ticket for Con- gress man named by mass meet ing of party in a single county. There is said to be no precedent for guide in this instance.
 Inasmuch as it is believed that there will be no chance for a contest. the name was allowed to go on the ticket. Therefore. there will Do fusion of the Republicans and Populists In the Fourth District for Congress as the Re- pnbIicans had chosen Mir. Middleton as their nominee to succeed Mir. Craig.
 This Is the only nomination of the Populists that has been certified to the Secretary of L.ate. That party launch ed q general ticket upon the field in this State in 1904. their nominees con. sisting chiefly of electors for President and Vice President.
 The Secretary of State is without no- tice to withdraw the nominees of the Davidson wing of the Republican Par ty. That faction is reported to have cspituiated to the Thompson wing for the sake of harmony. It is an open question as to whether the two sets Of nominees will appear on the ballot.

To Every Lady Purchaser
of $40 at DunCan'S

A Aseason's baseball ticket will be
given free today and tomorrow at
Duncan's to the lady who purchases
as much as $40 worth of goods for
cash
On another page is found a new
advertisement of the offerings of
the Duncan Mercantile Company for

ing the ticket absolutely free, the
firm is making special bargains in
seasonable goods Without the stim-
illus of a free baseball ticket, such
prices should bring a large trade
This is a great chance for every
young lady in the city to get base
ball ticket for the remainder of the
season absolutely free. While the
full schedule of games has not been
made out, there will be a game to-
morrow, and at least a dozen more
during the season, perhaps more. The
ladies see all of these without cost
by making purchases today and to-
morrow at Duncan's The only res
friction is that the amount of the
purchase at one time shall not be
less than ten dollars.

BIRDS EYE VIEW
OF AMERICUS
Picture Will Show Every
Residence.

A birds eye view of Americus,
showing every business house and
practically every residence inside the
corporate limits, and nearby, is be-
ing prepared by Mr. t. M Fowler.
This work has been under way for
two weeks or more, and has reached
an advanced stage The great ma
jority of the buildings have already
been sketched in ink by hand The
view is taken from the Southwest.
The finished picture will be photo
autographed. 1t is expected that the
entire picture will be ready for
printing in two more weeks.
To illustrate the accuracy of these
drawings, in nearly every house the
windows are shown from the side
facing the Southwest All of the
factories and other industries are
placed at the proper point,
At the top of the view will be the
cuts of the principal public buildings
in the city The finished picture will
be most valuable one for the bust
ness offices, and will be an ornament
to private residences as well.

MANAGER A GUTTER IN
MIDST OF THE GAME
Called Team Off Because
of Decision.

An otherwise beautiful and we'll
played ball game was entirely spoiled
yesterday by the surprising action of
Manager Walton, of the TiftOn team,
who became angry at decision of
Umpire Sanford and called his team
from their places.
This unexpected denoument oc
Cured in the sixth inning, when the
score was practically even and both
sides had a chance of winning out in
the final innings.
Nearly a thousand spectators saw
the game and regretted the unneces-
sary action of the manager in forcing
a sudden ending.
The grandstand was crowded
scores of ladies coming out to cheer
the players, while the bleachers were
filled as we'll 1t was the greatest
audience of the season and all enjoy
ed the game to the sixth inning.
At that point Rylander for Ameri-
Gus knocked a two bagger, bringing
in two men on bases. Manager Wal
ton declared it a foul ball and thus
took issue with the umpire, despite
the declaration of dozens of gentle
men that it was not foul.
Ministers and others who saw the
ball roll declared it a perfectly fair
hit, but Manager Walton knew better
than all of these combined, and refus-
ed to play further.
After waiting the usual five min
utes, during which time Walton re-
fused to play ball, the umpire gave
the game to Americus.
The incident was one of those un-
fortunate and regrettable ones that
oftimes mar an otherwise interesting
game; one mans opinion pitted
against a host of others who, like
himself, thought their views entirely
| correct.
Last night it was agreed between
the two clubs to play the game over
| this afternoon, or another game in
| stead, and Triton and Americus will
| thus meet for the second time. The
game will be called at 2:30 o'clock
sharp, the visitors leaving at 5.
This second game will be umpired
by Mr.. White of Cordele, former
Southern League player.
Following is a summary of the
game by innings:

BIG YIELD OF PEACHES
A BOON TOCANNERIES
AmeriCuS Plant May Result
In Others.

The establishment in Americus of
the largest fruit cannery in Georgia
may stimulate that great industry, as
success this season, now assured, may
be followed by the establishment of
other plants next season in the fruit
belt. This industry can be made a
large and profitable one.
The Americus plant, as the Times
Recorder has stated already is about
completed. The buildings are finish
ed and the equipment and machinery
several carloads, is in place.
This cannery will put up about
$4,000 two-pOund cans of peaches
daily, and will employ 200 people
1t is pointed out that if a single
large fruit crop can attract enter
prises of this sort it would be an
easy matter to attract permanent can
ming establishments if they could be
assured of sufficient produce to keep
them at work for four to six months
period
The California canning establish
ments do not depend on the fruit
crop alone, but can, perhaps more
vegetables than fruit, and are at
work for half the year
There appears to be no good rea-
son why similar establishments should
not prosper in this section of the
South, where the best quality of
truck for canning purposes may be
grown in abundance and at good pri-
ces.
The California canneries have con-
tracts with farmers to take all the
vegetables they offer at set prices,
and they have made canned vegetables
a valuable product not only during
the winter season at home, but al
most the year round in many of the
markets of the world.
These canneries stimulate fruit
growing because they take care of
the surplus product thus enabling the
grower to market only the choice
fruit at good prices.

Tuesday, May 10, Gov. HOke Smith.
Thursday, May q, Col. Albert ii.
Cox, of Atlanta, for Brown.
Saturday, May 23, Judge john p.
Ross, Of Macon, for Brown.
Here is the oratorical layout for
next week
1t had been intended by the Brown
Club to sandwich in the Governor be-
tween two Brown orators, but the
engagements of Judge Ross interfer-
red and he was compelled to defer his
visit to Americus until Saturday of
next week
AS a result there will be two hot
shot replies to the Governor.
The committee of the Hol1e Smith
Club has not yet announced where
he will speak, whether at the opera
house or in the open air AS the
opera house is small, and uncomfort-
ably warm at this season of the year,
it is not unlikely that all of the
speakers will make their addresses in
the open space near the Artesian
we'll
The nature of the governors speech
is probably indicated by those he has
already made at different points in
the state 1t is not improbable that
number of questions will be put to
him to answer.
Two days after the governor speaks,
on Thursday of next week, Col. Albert
Cox, of Atlanta will answer him. Col,
Cox will reply to whatever points are
advanced by the governor, and at
the same time will lay stress on the
