MINISTER'S TO MEET IN
QUITMAN IN A MONTH
Churches in AmeriCuS Dis
triCt Represented.

On Wednesday, December End, the
South Georgia Annual Conference OF
the Methodist church in the South
convenes at Quitman, the conference
lasting through the following Monday.
The usual time for the holding of the
conference has been in the last week
in November, but this year the change
has been made to December to allow
all the pastors to be in attendance
upon their own church on Thanks
giving Day.
Rev. Bascom Anthony, pastor of
First Methodist church here, and all
of the ministers in the Americus
district will attend
That DIR. Anthony will be returned
to the Americus church there is no
doubt In fact, it is the wish of the
entire people of Americus that this
splendid minister and genial gentle
man be allowed to serve the full
limit of time here.
The South Georgia Conference is
composed of ten districts.
Inc line may De Sald 10 eXCend from
Macon across the middle of the state,
all of that above that line being
called the North Georgia Conference.
While not so large as the North Geor-
gia Conference, the South Georgia
Conference has done much valuable
work in every direction and has with
in its lines some of the ablest minis
ters in the Methodist church.
Bishop Charles B. Galloway, OF
Jackson, Miss, is the bishop in
charge of the conference and will
preside at the coming session.

NO INTEREST IS SHOWN
IN RESULT BY BLACKS
Very Few Will Vote in the
Election.

In Americus next Tuesday compar-
atively few negroes will vote in the
presidential election, regardless of
the fact that $50 colored voters Of
Sumter registered and qualified. In
the rank and file of these, much in
difference is manifested.
Not one third of the colored vot-
ers in Sumter will come to the
polls Tuesday, and probably as many
who do come will vote for Bryan as
for Taft"
Such is the expressed opinion of a
well known republican here, discuss
ing yesterday the situation.
solar plexus blow was given the
negro voter at the recent State elec-
tion in the success of the disfran-
chisement act. 1t put him out of
politics for all time; and while he
may vote in one more election-that
of Tuesday-he will not do so.
AS a voter the black brother is
all in down and out.
OF course many of them-perhaps
one-third of the $50 in Sumter who
are qualified, may come to the polls.
Tuesday in this final rally, but as the-
republican quoted above expressed
it, large portion of these will vote
the Democratic ticket.
Sumter county will give a rousing
majority for Bryan if the white vot-
ers will only take the proper interest
and go to the polls

FIRST VAUDEVILLE
OF SEASON TONIGHT
Talented Spanish Singer
to Appear.

The first vaudeville of the season
will be given tonight, when Senorita
Shermana and her all-star aggrega-
ton will appear at the opera house
The company has record of success
elsewhere and will no doubt delight
Americus theatre goers as well.
AS a singer, the Senorita makes heI
greatest hits. She is said to have
been one of the most beautiful and
accomplished women on the Spanish
stage, deserting her country to come
to America because Of its wider pos.
sibilities.
1t is rare event for Americus
to see refined vaudeville, and the
present opportunity will hardly be
sighted by those who enjoy finish
ed entertainment of the kind. Popular
prices prevail.
In speaking of the coming of the
company to that city, the Albany
Herald said:
Miss Shermana has a sweet con-
tralto that rings as true and clear as
a silver bell. She might be called a
dramatic singer and dansense, her
songs being enhanced in beauty and
effect by extraordinary skill as an
emotional actress, her exquisite grace
and charming personality.
The entire bill is one of great merit

ON
WIRL MONUMENT
Facts Regarding His Mar
tyrdOm.

For the first time the inscriptions on
the four sides of the Wirz monument
were given out in Savannah at the
U. D. c. Convention, which closed
there yesterday, the wording of the
shaft having been closely guarded.
The convention approved the inscrip-
tions.
The monument is at the marble
yard of Mr.. c. j. Clark and has on
its sides the following:
On Front-In memory of Capt.
Henry Wirz, C. S. A, born Zurich,
Switzerland. 1922 Sentenced to
death and executed at Washington, D.
c.. November Is, 1865.
To rescue his name from the stig-
ma attached to it by embittered pre-
iudice, this shaft is erected by the
Georgia division, United Daughters of
the Confederacy.
On Second -Discharging his
duty with such humanity as the
harsh circumstances of the time, and
the policy of the foe permitted, Capt
ain Wirz became at least the victim of
misdirected popular clamor
He was arrested in time of peace,
while under the protection of a par
ole, by military commission of
service to which he did not belong
and condemned to ignominous death
on charges of excessive cruelty to
Federal prisoners. He Indignantly
spurned a pardon, proffered on con-
dition that he would incriminate
President Davis and thus exonorate
himself from charges of which both
were innocent.
Third Side-It is hard on our men
held in Southern prisons not to ex-
change them, but it is humanity of
those left in the ranks to fight our
battles At this particular time to
release all rebel prisoners North,
would ensure Sherman's defeat and
would compromise our safety here,
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
August 18th, 1864.
Fourth Side-When time shall have
softened passion and prejudice, when
reason shall have stripped the mask
from misrepresentation, then JUS
tice holding evenly her scales, will
require much of past censure and
praise to change pcales.

SEC. ltMLY LEAVES
FOR NEW WORK
Will Devote Himself to
the Ministry.

Mr.. T. NJ Lemly, the retiring Sec
retary Of the Y NJ CA, left yester-
day for Richmond, Va, where he will
enter the Union Theological Semin-
airy. He stopped off at Macon, where
Mrs. Lemly was visiting, and they
will proceed on their way today
Mr. Lemly will start at once on a
three years course in theology, with
the end in view of preparing himself
for the ministry in the Presbyterian
church. His years of Biblical study
and experience in religious work
will no doubt enable him TO complete
the course in two years.
While a resident of Americus, Mr.
Lemly made many warm, personal
friends. AS Secretary of the Y NJ. c.
c. in its magnificent campaign in
raising funds for the new building he
did a great work, his efforts contri-
buting much to that undertaking. The
long delay in opening the building
prevented him engaging in his hither-
to chosen work, that of the Young
Mems Christian Association, and his
thoughts naturally turned to the min
istry.
In whatever lines his lot is cast,
the best wishes and personal interest
of very large number of Americus
people will follow him. The building
is monument to his good work.

NO TROUBLE IN MIDAIR
AT APEX OF TOWER
Brush is Still Hung Tight
in the Main.

An air of absolute tranquility pre-
vailed yesterday in the vicinity of
the water tower, and nothing drop
ped,-not even a paint bucket-to
disturb the equanimity of the busy
throng of peanut shelters and politi-
clans assembled daily at the spot.
Up in the bracing ozone the pain
ters worked-inside the can
The outside stunt, including the
ladder act, has not yet been reached
upon the lengthy program of thrill
lers, though this is expected hourly
In fact, great many other things
are expected as well.
As previously announced, the fraiI
ladder has been discarded in the
climb for life" act on the outside of
the big can, and tight rope perfor-
nance substituted. In this act the
performers will appear in red tights
due to the paint.
A label of brilliant hue they will
put upon the can.
Absorbing, soul-thrilling, hair
raising interest still attaches to that
lost brush, through the meshes of
which our drinking water percolates,
although it is not a hair brush.
Down, down,-deeper than went
McGinty, that lost brush glided in
the steel-tubed throat of the tower,
and it is there yet Easier would it
be to pass through the needles eye
than to rescue that big steel brush
from the depths of oblivion.
Many suggestions have been made
bearing upon its rescue, but none of
these have been adopted
The idea advanced to Col. Jeter
that we might lay the tower flat
down in Lee street and pull the brush
out of the bottom of it is scoffed,
while the X-ray theory in locating it
has few adherents among the search
ers.
If it were possible to attach one
of the ciay's double rotary, cash
register bankruptcy promoting wa
ter-meters to teh brush, it would be
whisked in jiffy from the tube.
For 70 power on earth can buck an
Americus water meter except that
other agency-the sheriff
1t is generally agreed that the
brush will rot away in the course
Of time-probably ere the Y. NJ c. A.
is opened and the new postoffice err
ected, and as the wooden sections are
of ash or hickory the flavor will be
a palatable one.
In the meantime citizens who
venture near the tower will walk
like the Levite on the other side"

WIRZ SITE
CHANGED
Andersonville
Will Not Get
Monument
Location Decided Too Late
to Hear.

Americus won on its first conten-
tion on the Wirz monument-it will
not be placed at Andersonville-
perhaps gets the monument too. Lack
of telegraph communication between
Savannah and Americus last night
prevented report on the location Sc
lected.
Late yesterday afternoon the Times
Recorder received the following tele-
gram:
The Wirz monument will not go
to Andersonville. Location not set
tied. MRS. j. E. MATHIS"
The following was received from the
Times-Recorders correspondent at Z
o'clock last night:
Daughters decide to rescind former
action giving Wirz monument to An
dersonyille. No place selected, but
Mrs. Mathis fighting for Americus. !"
AS the convention was due to adj
journ last night, it is practically GER
tain that the site was selected but
it will not be until this morning that
the result can be learned here
1t is believed that the contest was
between Americus and Macon, though
Atlanta was also willing to accept the
shaft as gift. There would be a
saving of about $500 in putting up
the monument here instead of Ma
con. To locate it anywhere outside
of the state would add nearly 81 900
to the expense of putting it up, as
the rate on stone in interstate COM
merce is higher than in Georgia. It
might be mentioned that Georgia rate
will be advanced % per cent on Nov
l, making another argument in favor
of placing the monument here.

ACTIVITY IN
Y. NJ. 6. A.
Directors After
A New Sec
retary
Then Campaign to Raise
$4,000.

With the departure of Secretary
Lemly, it is now incumbent on the
directors of the Y NJ. C. A. to Sc
lect his successor.
That the magnificent new building
stands in Americus is due ip con-
siderable measure to the energy of
Secretary Lemley. To equip the
building ready for use is now the task
before the next Secretary.
Capt S l.. Hammond, President of
the Board of Directors is already in
correspondence with experienced men
with view to making the best selec-
ton possible, all things considered
1t is the intention of the directors
to start soon on a strenuous campaign
for funds to furnish the building and
put in heating apparatus. 1t is es-
timated that $4,000 will be needed to
do these things.
1t is very easy to see that the lack
of this additional sum prevents the
Y. NJ c. A. from being more than
self-supporting. At present the mon
ey invested is lying idle with fixed
charges, such, as interest going on all
the while
Americus is proud of the splendid
Y. NJ c. A. building, which is one of
the ornaments of the city Over $685.
600 has already been expended on the
structure, which is especially equip
ped for Y. NJ c. A. work The gym
nasium, baths, assembly rooms and
the sleeping rooms are well arrang-
ed
+ No one doubts for an instant the
great benefits that such a building
open to the young men, would con-
fer on the city. A place to develop
mind and body is provided, where the
young men of Americus can improve
themselves under most favorable in
.fluences.
In a little while it is expected that
the name of the new secretary can
be announced That he come to Am
ericus as soon as possible will be
the desire of the directors. Then a
plan of campaign will be mapped out
for raising the funds necessary to
open the building
Among the sources of income fro
the Y NJ c. A. when open will be the
rent for the rooms on the second
floor A very great increase in MEM
bership would be secured as soon as
there were advantages to offer, and
these two sources of income it is
calculated would more than pay run
ming expenses and interest. A sink
ing fund eventually would take up the
Indebtedness.
The building has been idle for some
months, only waiting the raising of
the sum named to put the finishing
touches on it.
Something will be doing in the di-
rection of opening the Y M. C. A.
building in the near future, unless
present plans fail
