TYPICAL SOUTHERN
PLAY MONDAY NIGHT

The South has furnished material
for a number of plays which have
been very popular in public esteem
and obtained large pecuniary returns
But the play which is now pre-emi-
nent in favor, dealing with Southern
life which is now prominently before
the public is Lottie Blair Parker's
Under Southern Skies. Other
Southern plays there may be, but
as no recent play of New England
life equals III popularity or interest
the same authors Way Down East, =
SO no other of the newer plays deal
ing with life in the south, approaches
Under Southern Skies" The play
is now in its eighth season, 1t has
charmed and amused thousands of
people, since it's first presentation and
with each succeeding visit to the
many cities where it has been given
the audiences are of larger and lar-
ger proportions. 1t is a play
which can be seen again and again
with renewed interest for it's story OF
life in the south is such strong
one. its characters so interesting, and
there is with it all so much fun, such
beautiful scenery, such pretty and
quaint costuming and such a good
representation of the songs and char
acteristic dancing of the Southern
darky that the spectator is kept in an
interested and amused state of mind
from the rise of the curtain until its
fall. Theatre goers with have a
chance to see this play of life in the
South, as it appears on next Monday
aight at the opera house. Seats on

OAIRYING AT THE
DISTRICT COLLEGE
Put in Cows and Sell Sup
plies to Creamery.

Business has started at the cream
cry and in short time it is hoped to
have its collection arrangements so
systematized that it will have all of
the milk it can handle and be in a
position to supply a considerable part
of the local demand for butter
On Monday about 700 lbs. of milk
were left at the creamery, or nearly
one hundred gallons. Of course that
is by no means adequate to keep the
plant going for a day 1t is proposed
to work up a system of milk collee-
tions that will enable the supply to
run up in to several hundred gallons
a day. Then the creamery will be
really doing business.
One suggestion that has been made
in connection with the creamery an
pears to be an excellent one, not only
for it, but for the District Agricultural
College as well. Dairying should be-
come one of the greatest Industries OF
this section of the state. That is re-
cognized. Experts state that the
country hereahouts is peculiarly
adapted to dairy farms Scant atten-
ton, though, has been paid by farm
ers to this profitable branch of their
business, largely due, perhaps to the
fact that there has been no creamery
where their supplies of milk could
be disposed of. 1t is now suggested
that the Agricultural College lead the
way in stimulating this department of
agriculture in this section by putting
in herd of fine milk COWS, the pro-
ceeds to be taken daily by the cream
cry. The results WOULD be a hand
some profit to the farm, the educa-
tion of the boys in the care of fine
stock and the inculcation in them of
love of the dairying business. Il rs
believed the College would and a
dairy herd of much proht to it, of as
sistance in enriching the land, and
of immense value as an educational
factor
1t is intimated that the necessary
money could be raised on a note, |
and the proceeds from the dairy herd
be applied to the continuous reduc-
ton of the debt, wiping it out in a |
short time If the Agricultural Col |
lege would put in say % fine cows gor
this purpose the benefits waufd be
speedily apparent, and the debt, it |
is claimed, could be wiped out in
full in twelve months, and the college
then have the herd of fine COWS as an
income producer as well as an rm-
portant branch of its work.

ASKED THE ARREST OF
PARTY in AUTO GAR

Police Chief Feagin and 'the boys
in blue" were on the lookout yester-
day morning for two strangers riding
in a large red car, and who were
wanted at Montezuma for reckless
riding. Chief Feagin's information
was to the effect that these two anti
prohibitionists had caused runaway
in which a farm wagon was badly
wrecked, and in wanton spirit of
Joy had chased the frightened mules
through a peach-orchard, the "honk"
of the pursuing car giving speed to
the affrightened animals. So far the
alleged bibulous autoists have not
shown up here, as evidently expected.

DRINKERS OF BEER ARE
IN LINE FOR DRUNK

Americus people who drink beer,
both the near" and nearer will be
interested in knowing that beer will
bring a jag. In an opinion handed
down in case from the city court of
Fitzgerald, the state court of appeals
holds that lager beer is prima facie
intoxicating. The decision may have
important bearing on the enforce
ment of the prohibition law. 1t is to
the effect that beer can be considered
intoxicating on its face, unless evil
dence to the contrary is offered plac-
ing the burden of proof on the defend
ant in such cases.

WILL MAKE GOOD
ALL LOSSES
If Wirz Monument UnyeiI-
ing is Postponed.

Substantial support was pledged
by the Board of Trade last night to
all efforts made by the Americus
Chapter to get the Wirz monument
located in Americus.
Mrs J. E. Mathis, of the Site Com
mittee, was present, and was invited
to give the present status of the move
ment to have the unyeiling of the
monument changed from Oct 81 to
a later date, in order that the ques-
ton of location can be again
brought before the Savannah conven-
ton.
Confidence was expressed by Mrs.
Mathis that Miss Baxter, State Presi-
dent, would order the postponement
of the unveiling by Oct IS, which is
the last day that Contractor Clark
can delay the work of preparation for
the unveiling, if it is to be on Oct. 81.
Mrs. Mathis stated that she thought
that Miss Baxter had received a num-
ber of expressions from chapters
which had not reported to her. In
case there should be postponement,
it would no doubt be until Nov Il,
following the general convention in
Atlanta. Mrs. Mathis stated that one
chapter would be sure to ask it's
money back if the monument was
not placed at Andersonville, while in
vitations had already been printed st
considerable expense for the Oct. 81
date. 1t was suggested that some in
ducement be offered to make up these
losses.
Mr. G. w Glover thought that as
soon as word was received from Miss
Baxter that postponement had been
ordered, that a meeting of the Board
of Trade should be called.
1t was suggested by Mr.. J. E. Math-
is that some action be taken, and
that if the postponement was not
ordered that the arrangements made |
would be in force,
Mr. John W. Shiyer moved that the
Board of Trade pledge itself to raise
the money needed to make good all |
losses which the U. D. c. might sus-
tain by the postponement This was
carried
The two members of the Site Com
mittee. Mrs. j. e. Mathis and Mrs. |
James Taylor, then thanked the Board
for it's action and withdrew.
