Several weeks ago the Ii usS-Re-

ditions out there as made by N. -
Lamar, who wrote to white frlehd
here for the price of a return t1ckGt'
Lamar has written again, and his sec
ond letter is stronger than the hrst'
He says California is no place Tor
a Georgia negro. He is barred by the
large foreign element there from
getting employment, and the few who
have succeeded in getting work have
to spend the proceeds for living and
cannot save one dollar.
Thousands of Georgia negroes, he
says, will leave there in the spring
if they can get the money to come
home.
He says he was a fool to be will
fully deceived into going there, and
freely admits his mistake in leaving
Americus, where he had a good job
and had accumulated property.
Lamar asks that his letter be pub
lished in full as a warning to other
negroes here who may think of go
ing to- California, but its great length
forbids 1t is a pathetic appeal to
his race not to make the great mis-
take which he and others made.
He still owns a small house or
two here, and declares he will have
it sold for enough money to pay his
fare back to Georgia, if he cannot
get the money otherwise. But he
will get it, as the gentleman appeal
ed to has sent him a ticket already.
Lamar is an Industrious, hard-Work-
ing shoe maker, and his words OF
warning should be needed by other
negroes here who already are plan
ming to make the same sad mistake
of going next week to California.

NEW TICKET is NAMED
FOR THAT OF SHERIFF
Wilson and Rodgers Will
Make Race.

Mr. Jarrett j. Wilson has entered
the race for sheriff of Sumter county,
with Mr.. George Rodgers on the tick
ct as deputy. This conclusion was
forecasted by the friends of these
wellknown gentlemen, many of whom
had urged their candidacy, and their
formal announcement will be a source
of pleasure to many who will give
such a popular ticket their support,
Both gentlemen are too we'll known
in Sumter county, where they were
born and reared, to require introduc-
tion or commentator. Mr.. Wilson
very ably served his county as repre-
sentative in the Legislature, modestly
declining to offer for a second term,
and now devotes his time to his farm
ing interests near Leslie. Mr.. Rodg-
ers was recently elected to the board
of aldermen of the city by very fiat
tering vote. He holds a responsible
position at the Seaboard shops here
and, like Mr. Wilson, will add to the
strength of the new ticket.

IN NOTING AN Event
Couple Here Past Golden
Wedding.

The serious illness of Mr.. Edward
Littleton was more than ever a
source of regret to his many friends
when it was known that it covered the
date of his fiftieth marriage annivers-
ary. The date of their golden we'd
ding was last Wednesday, and while
members of the family and near rel:
atives offered congratulations to Mr..
and Mrs. Littleton their host of
friends were denied this pleasure,
owing to his continued confinement
by illness. On February 10Th, 1858
Mr.. Littleton and Miss Mamie James
were united in marriage, and their
fifty years of welded life has been
one of ideal happiness and content
ment, and in the evening of well
spent existence each leans fondly and
lovingly upon the other for comfort
and happiness. Children and grand
children cheer their declining years
and join with hundreds of friends in
the wish that many more annivers-
aries of their marriage may be ac-
corded unto them, undimmed by ILL
ness or the shadows of sorrow of any
nature.

DR.. ALLEN OF AMERICUS
A NEPHEW OF LATIMER
May Attend the Funeral
Services.

United States Senator Asbury c.
Latimer of South Carolina was an
uncle Of Dr.. Henry B. Allen of Am
ericus; his mothers brother, and if
possible DR.. Allen will attend the
obsequies tomorrow at the family
home in South Carolina
He had been at the hospital since
Sunday last, when he underwent an
operation for appendicitis.
1t was then discovered that he was
suffering from a far more serious
ailment. The bowels had become
twisted and his condition was found
to be such that surgeons held out
little hope for his recovery.
Mr.. Latimer was 81 years Of age
He was one of the most earnest and
conscientious committee workers
in the congress, being a member of
the committees on agriculture, immi-
grafton, manufacturers, public build
ings and grounds and census, as
well as@Others of less Importance.
He was especially interested in
good roads and probably did more
to promote the national movement
for government building of good
roads than any other member of con-
gress.

tinue to make most complimentary re-
ference to the suggestion that Hon.
J. M. Collum, President of the Third
District Agricultural College, enter
the race as a candidate for the posi-
ton of State School Commissioner
The Athens Daily Banner, in a re-
cent issue, says of Pres. Collum:
For the office of state school COM
missioner, no one has been more
prominently mentioned than Hon. j.
M. Collum, of Schley county, but now
of Americus, where he occupies the
position of principal of the district
agricultural school. Mr.. Collum is
one of the best capacitated men in
the state for the office of school COM
missioner; for twelve years he taught
school; for fourteen years he was the
county school commissioner of Schley
county and has been among the prom
inent educators on the program of the
Southern Educational Association on
several occasions. He has had the
honor of representing his county for
several terms in the general assembly
of Georgia and was recognized as one
of the leaders in the house. He was
lu0 CudlI1kIdl VI Tie COLSI SSS1OIRdI
executive committee for his district
for years and served as a member of
the state executive committee for
several terms.
He has been prominent in state
affairs for all these years and his store
of knowledge gained by long exper-
ience in the educational line would
make him a most admirable official
for the office of state school commits
sioner.
Should be decide to become a
candidate he will receive the active
support of large following from all
sections of Georgia and in the event
of his election, Georgia would have
a commissioner the equal to any in
any state and one who has had years
of experience in the work"

WARNING Is GIVEN THE
PUBLIC OF A FAKE
In Regard to Bogus Money
Orders.

AmeriCus merchants and others are
cautioned against accepting money
orders from strangers unless assured
of the genuiness Of the bit of Uncle
Sans paper. This warning is due to
the fact that recently a large number
of blank orders were stolen in a
Western City, and already some of
these have turned up as bogus, the
thieves filling out the blanks and cir
culating them in payment of small
purchases made, taking the differ
ence in cash. Only be sure the mon
ey order is all right before accepting

ROBBERS ARE STILL IN
BUSINESS IN STATE

Safe blowers, evidently the same
gang that operated at De Soto, near
Americus, continue to make a noise
with dynamite over the State and
escape capture, as was the case here.
A few days ago there was little
safe-blowing job at Buena Vista,
while yesterday there came the news
of a general explosion at Kestler, a
small town near Albany The bur-
glars dynamited three safes there
and secured about $1,000. Two hun
dred dollars were taken from the
safe of Haddock & Griffin; $500 from
Hightower & Son; 5000 in cash and
$50 in stamps from the postoffice.

LONG TRAIN OF BALES
GAME TO AMERICUS
Wagons Fill Entire Block
Here.

A wagon train which stretched
its length from the Chambliss ware
house to the Windsor Hotel was
drawn up on Lamar street yesterday
and attracted no little attention.
There were twenty or thirty teams in
the train, and all loaded with cotton
bales from the J. NJ. Johnson planta-
ton near Leslie. Mr.. Johnson is one
of the most extensive and successful
planters in Sumter, and is in position
to market his hundreds of
cotton bales just as it pleases him to
do So He has several hundred bales
in Americus warehouses yet unsold,
and has not finished hauling in his
last years cotton crop.

ALBANIAN BEWAILS \
PROHIBITIONS HARM
Told Baltimore Paper That
il Was "23" for Him.

In the Baltimore American of re-
cent date appeared an interview with
an Atlanta man. in which he gave a
gloomy picture of conditions in the
capital city since prohibition went
into effect In fact SO serious was
the situation that the interviewed
could stand it no longer and was
going to shake the dust of Georgia
from his shoes and HE to another
state.
The interview is as follows:
Il thing it can be truthfully stated
that prohibition has already done the
city of Atlanta a great deal of harm,' .
said Mr.. Norris H. Mannheim, of the
Georgia metropolis, at the Caswell
Il have lived in Atlanta for the
past ten years, but am now hunting a
new home. Before the sale of liquor
was abolished it was generally con-
ceded that Atlanta was one Of the
busiest, liVelist, most prosperous
and progressive of Southern COM
munities 1t looks to be just the
reverse of that now. In fact, the
town seems dull to the point of
stagnation, and there is complaint
from many quarters over the chang
ed conditions. Atlanta, you will re-
member, tried prohibition twenty
years ago. and it proved such dis
NAL failure that the traffic was re-
established.
About the worst feature of the sit
uation is that prohibition has not
stopped the use of intoxicating liquors
in Atlanta The buying of whiskey
and beer goes on, only the money IS
sent away. Every week 1924, 900 goes
out of Atlanta to outside towns
mostly to Chattanooga-fo cases of
beer and jugs of rye and bourbon. The
city is loser, for it is robbed of the
revenue that came from licenses, but
the trade goes on just the same and
there is no way of stopping it unless
all the railroads i'll the United States
cease their operations"

To Mems Clothes WearerS

You are offered daily, all kinds
of clothes to wear; some good, some
bad, some dishonest.
The dishonest clothes are those
made of fabrics adulterated with
"mercerized cOtton;" made to look
like all-wool and sure to wear like
part cotton.
The dishonesty is in the looks
that deceive you; not in the fabric,
or in the dealer. There's nothing dis
honest in a "merCerized cotton" fab
riC if you know what it is; some deal
ers don't know.
The country is full of this stuff
clothes that cheat; they look honest
and they cost honest; but they're a
fraud and you'll find it when you
wear them.

who will Own Punch Bowl2

On the battleships and cruisers of
the United States are silver services
and other gifts of an estimated value
|of $259000 yet the title to this proper
ty does not rest in the government or
anybody else. Secretary Metcalf of
the navy asks congress to enact law
placing title in the federal government
so that in the event thefts are COM
mitted the government may punish
the offender, says the Tacoma Ledger.
II is a timely suggestion. After a
while the battleships and cruisers will
be worn out. They will wear out a
great deal sooner than the silver ser
vices. What, then, win become of the
gifts made by states and cities? Will
they be held by the government and
turned over to new battleships and
cruisers bearing the same name as
the vessels worn out? These are
questions for congress to decide.
The states and cities after which
naval vessels have been named have
made their gifts without giving spe
cial thought to title. The intention
has been, no doubt that the gifts

For Bryan and Harmony.

The democrats of Rock Island coun-
ty, in one of the most representative
and harmonious conventions ever held
in the history of the party, in which
factional differences were buried in a
common cause-declared yesterday for
Bryan-and for harmony, harmony not
only in its strictesti sense, but as it
applies to such policies as may be
considered looking to the success of
Mr.. Bryan's presidential candidacy.
From the moment that c. B. Marshall
in assuming the chair as presiding Of
ficer of the convention, sounded in
brief but eloquent words the keynote
Of the convention, to the cheers for
Bryan and harmony that attended the
fall of the gavel on the afternoon S
proceedings, there was but one guild
ing aim of the entire convention. That
guiding aim was the fulfillment of the
chairman's opening plea.
1t was a Bryan convention through
and through, and that fact was suff-
cient to produce sample of harmony
that was ideal With every possible
element of discord absolutely elimin
ated, and factiOnal lines obliterated in
the interests of common cause, it is
doubtful If there has been county
convention before, at least not in many
years, where there was so much in
common that gave so little considera
ton to selfish interests or ambitions
but developed sacrifices If need be fol
the good of the party.
| In the personnel of the delegation
to the state convention as well as in
the resolutions that were adopted the
sentiments Of the representative dem
ocrats of the county were voiced. They
were for Bryan and Bryan policies, sc
strongly so, that had it been deemed
prudent or in conformity with Bryan's
interests from his own view point, res
lolutions more specific in character
might readily have been presentedant
adopted.
