The Rockefeller family association.
Of which. by the way, John ID. is not a
member, though many of it's members
claim kinship with him, has traced :he
history of the name back to the south
of France. where there is still Baron
Roquefeuille. The French Rookie
fellers, being mostly Huguenots, went
to southern Germany after the rovoca-
ton of the edict of Nantes; hence the
Teutonic form of the name. The first
Rockefeller came to America in l72O.

The annual controversy over the
hated dogfish is being held through the
columns of the daily press by the
fishermen and State officials The
veracious cannibals of the sea are so
plentiful this month that they have
not only practically stopped the
ground fishing industry but have de-
stroyed hundreds of dollars worth of
travis, causing such a loss that many
fishermen have been obliged to Quit
entirely. 1t has not yet been proven
that the dogfish has any great value
except as fertilizer, but to prevent
taking the bread from the mouths of
our fishermen it would seem no more
than fair that the Government should
offer bounty for each dogfish taken
BY such method only will it be pos
siblc to eXterminate this menace and
save our fishing industry.

MANAGER LUCAS TO
GO TO COLUMBUS
Displayed Ability as Thea

Manager Harry K. Lucas, who has

for the past eight months as the rep
resentative of Miles Bros, of New
York severed his connection with the
lesses yesterday. Today and tomor-

Lucas and force
At the close of the week, Manager
Lucas will step from the management
of the local opera house to a similar
position with the Dreamland Vaude-
Vile Theater, at Columbus. This
position has been held open for him
for some time, pending the conclu-
sion of his contract with Miles Bros,
here. Dreamland is the leading vau-
deviIIe house of Columbus, and is
doing a thriving business.
Early in September, 1907, Mr.. Lucas
came to Americas from Savannah,
his home, to take charge of the
moving picture show of Miles Bros.
In a short time his ability as a
Manager led his company to go a
little further, and close lease for
the theater which included all the
travelling attractions.

on, number of these attractions
were forced to cancel, and this prov

pushing, go-ahead manager to whom
success will come as a matter OF

go. He will leave Americas Monday

AMERICUS is STILL IN

Gold Enough for OverCOatS

lThe ,freckled brand of weather
dealt Americus yesterday was still
of the kind we enjoyed at Christmas
and the peek-a-boo shirt-waist has
for the severalth time, given way to
the woolep jacket and moth ball at
tachment. Yesterday morning a gen
uine cold wave struck the city, and
it was necessary to renew acquain-
lance with the coal dealer and res
cue the oyercoat from the discard
pile.i Fires blazed cheerily in every
home where fuel was available, and
the reformed anti looked askance at
the flowing well and wished for
something more warmth-promoting. II
is indeed odd weather for May LIST
and after this dose a frost in July
may not cause surprise. Cotton may
be stunted a bit, but-the fruit-croI

OLD HERO OF TWELFTH
STRONG FOR BROWN
While County is Likewise
for Him.

A party of Brown men and one
Smith supporter, in about the US
ual proportion as to numbers, were
discussing the political situation at
the Central depot waiting room yes
terday, when a Confederate veteran
old and gray, joined the party.
Il take it that you be for Joe
Brown" he said, modestIy cutting in
to the conversation.
Assured that he was everlastingly
in the house of his friends" he con-
tinued to express his convictions up
on the subject.
81 am Brad Teal, from Schley coun-
| ty," he said, as he pinned upon his
coat the Brown button rendered him
| But an Introduction was not neces-
sary, as hundreds here know this
grand old man of the sixties.
"You tell Tom Davenport that BraG
Teal and all of his sons are going
to vote for Brown, while SchIey coun-
ty is going for him too, and l guess
| Tom will also"
Mr.. Teal was given positive assur-
ance that his old comrade in the
Twelfth Georgia and Commander OF
Camp Sumter, U. G. v, was all right
for Brown, as are hundreds of others
of the old soldiers, who resent Smith s
methods.
Than Brad Teal there was no
drawer soldier in the Confederate
Army, and not until his tear dimmed
eyes beheld Robert E. Lee surrender
at Appomattox did he quit fighting.
But the fire of chivalry burns with
in him STILL as of yore.
He has many good reasons why he
will not vote for Mr. Smith, aside
from the fact that he would not spare
one hour from abusing Joe Brown
on the stump to pay respect to the
Lost Cause on Memorial day, as Gov
ernOr of Georgia.
And other veterans besides Mr.
Teal may think likewise.
