HAYFIELD IN A BLAZE
GAVE TRUCKS A RUN
Damage is Done in Field of
Citizen.

The Times Recorder has insisted
that the crops here were burning up
from the drought, and proof strong
as holy writ" was given this declara-
ton yesterday when a hay field out
Elm avenue burst into flame. 1t is
barely possible that the fire was com
municated through some other agency
than Soils fervent rays, but the field
blazed just the same and the mule
ammunition already harvested prov
ed a total loss. The fire department
went out to the blazing patch, 9
full mile and a quarter, and turned
the hose on, saving a goodly part of
the hay. An amusing incident con-
nected with the run of the hose wag
on was the query of the owner of the
patch" as to why the hook and lad
der truck was not brought to the
scene as we'll Chief Macarthur re-
piled that he knew in advance the
fire was confined to burning grass,
and he didn't think there was any
grass in Sumter, not even in the
streets of Americus, high enough to
require a forty-foot ladder to climb
up and extinguish it.

NEW RIFLES ARE HERE
But STILL IN GASES
Light Infantry Has Received
Equipment.

The Americus Light Infantry has
not yet put into service the new
Springfield rifles received from the
War Department, and is still using
the less modern but far-reaching and
reliable Krags, with which the COM
pany has been equipped for some
time. The rifles recently sent Com
pany L., is the new regulation army
guns, and fifty-eight Of these peace
preservers are now at the armory OF
the Light Infantry awaiting orders
from the adjutant's Office Captain
Van Riper has received no official or
der to unpack and distribute the new
rifles, and will not do so until such
order is officially given. When the
new guns are distributed the Krag
rifles now in use will be packed up
and sent away. The shipment of
fifty-eight new rifles is even more than
required, but this number is the mill
imum for enlistment in every COM
mand and the hope is expressed to
bring the enlisted membership of the
Light Infantry to that requirement ere
long.

FEAST OF WOODMEN Is
ENJOYED BY A HOST
Occasion in AmeriCuS Most
Enjoyable.

Despite the somewhat ardent
manifestations upon the part of Old
Sol yesterday, the annual reunion of
camps of Woodmen of the World
here was largely attended and the
occasion one of social and fraternal
success throughout.
Americus, Plains and Leslie camps
were thus represented.
The visitors for the most part
came in by the early trains and with
their brethren of the Americus camp
proceeded to their favorite forest,
Prospect Park.
There they found assembled some
400 or 500 guests of the 'W. O. W."
both ladies and gentlemen, and the
morning hours were passed in in
Productions and general conversa-
ton. Happily, there were no speecI.
es, or like formalities.
At noon Col w T. Lane announc-
ed that the sumptuous feast of bar
becue was ready to be served, and af-
ter an invocation from Rev. R. l..
BiVins the guests fell to.
The tables were arranged in the
deep shades near the miniature lake
let, and a magnificent dinner spread
thereupon More than 500 pounds
of deliciously prepared barbecue, be
sides other tempting viands, filled
the tables.
The Woodmen have cause for con-
graduation at the complete success
of their reunion and barbecue

BOARD OF TRADE WILL
DISCUSS ST. RAILWAY
important Meeting Has Been
Called for Tonight.

For the purpose of discussing what
is Familiarity known as the 'Dodson
contract" a meeting of the Board of
Trade has been called for tonight.
The call was issued late yesterday af-
ternoon by President Allen at the re-
quest of number of members.
From the delay of the consumma-
ton of the deal with the Philadelphia
capitalists, there has been more or
less restiveness recently among the
citizens. The offer of the Macon cap
italists to take up the contract and
furnish the light and water at the
agreed rates, as we'll as build the
street railway, has added to the de-
sire to bring matters to a climax.
On tomorrow night the City Coun-
ell meets, and it is expected that a
committee will wait on that body
from the Board of Trade requesting
that a date in the near future be fixed
when the "Dodson contract must
be disposed Of More than a month
ago the time limit set for the compile
ton of the railway and the furnish
ing of light at the reduced rate and
the pumping of water for the city at
a certain cost, expired, and since that
time the matter has been slumbering
on the table in the City Council It
is expected that one of the objects of
the meeting tonight will be to insist
that the contract be taken from the
table.
But however that may be, full
attendance of the members of the
Board of Trade is requested for to
night With such an important ques-
ton up for consideration it is more
than likely that there will be large
attendance despite the warmth of the
weather.
