ON STOPPING OF
TRAIN AT AMERCUS
Albany Business League to
Protest. =

The Central's night passenger train
arriving in Americus at 1O:4O p. m,
from Atlanta and running empty from
this city to Albany, where it arrives
at midnight, may not turn back at
Americus, making this the terminal
point, as it now desired
The railroad company is anxious to
do this to the end of reducing expen-
ditures, and particularly so as there
is no need whatever for this train be-
tween Americus and Albany.
But now objection comes from that
city to the proposed change.
The Albany Business League has
requested the Railroad Commission
not to take action on the application
of the Central road to discontinue pas
senger train No. 7, until the commits
sion hears from a meeting of Albany
business men.
The train which the road desires to
discontinue reaches Albany at mid
night from Macon and departs at 3:15
a. M 1t is desired to discontinue it
below Americus, on the ground that
it is Improbable.
Many objections have been raised
by Albany business men, and it is
considered probable that counter pc
tition to that of the railroad will be
nrnDared for presentation to the Com
mission.

MORE FIDDLERS
HAVE ENROLLED
Requests Received for
Matinee Performance.

Thirty-eight fiddlers joined the list
yesterday and every man will be on
hand next Friday night to enter the
Contest Some of those who Joined
are: Charles Williamson, Fate Fal-
lis, w. A Commander, Hawkins Timer,
Ben Timer, (Cordele), E. w. Pitcher,
G. d. Rogers (Sumter), H. w. Pitt
man, Geo Pool, J. H. McElhenny, G.
S. S. Horne, Jonah Daniel, (Ash-
burn), julius Brown, j. S. Johnson,
(Andersonville) and Tom Frazier.
81 would give anything to be
able to enter the Contest" said Mr..
Jessie Mauk today, "but | have been
called away over 300 miles and if
there is any chance of me getting
back by Friday, l will surely be
there"
Several ladies telephoned the Chief
of Fire Department during the day
and Mr.. Laughlin has also received
several requests for matinee per-
ternoon, but the committee do not
think it will be possible to accommo-
date them as some of the fiddlers will
not reach town before to O'Clock,
as they will have to drive many miles.
Still the possibilities of giving a
performance is under discussion as
it seems likely that there will be
many turned away The seating capa-
city of the opera house being limited,
there will likely be a rush when the
sale opens Tuesday morning at Joe
Browns. Ticket sellers will begin
canvassing Monday and anyone pur-
chasing tickets from them will have
the first choice of the reserved seats
when .the sale opens.

CHOICE ATTRACTION
OPENS THE LYCEUM
Mrs. Sheridan, COntraItO
SOIOiSt, on March 9.

One of the series of five entertain
ments which Prof. E. H Mcneil has
promised to the music lovers of Am
ericus has been arranged On March
8, Mrs. Sarah Mcdonald Sheridan,
contralto soloist, will be the attrac-
ton. The place for giving the en-
tertainments has not yet been decided
upon, but will be announced later.
Mrs. Sheridan, even before she
went to Paris to study, was received
most favorably in this country. Since
returning to this country her work
has been even more f1atteringly men
toned.
In the course which Prof. Mcneil is
arranging, there will be five num-
bers. A seasons ticket will be sold
at a moderate price, considerably less
than the admission price for all added
together.
Announcement of the full course
will be made in a few days. 1t is
assured that Ralph Bingham will be
in the list unless subscribers to the
course prefer some other attraction
of the same nature.

BIG BARBECUE IN APRIL
IN HONOR OF VOTERS
Candidates as Hosts of the
Occasion.

A county candidatal cue calculated
to corral the voter and render him
an easy prey to the voracious Office
seeker is a suggestion which will
instantly appeal to the unfed and un-
satisfied of Sumter, and meet with
immediate favor
1t would be a glorious event. as
sembling not only the unterrifed vo-
ters, but also the greatest aggrega-
ton OF office seekers that the peo-
pie of Sumter have ever beheld.
What say the candidates of this
excellent suggestion; made unseIfish-
ly, and in their behalf?"
There are now thirty-one annOunc-
ed candidates for county office here
in Sumter, and ere the day of cleo
ton dawns the number will in
crease to forty or more. This great
army cannot make a pilgrimage to
the home of each individual voter
of Sumter.
Should they attempt such impossi
BILE feat the voter in the rural
districts would lose thirty-one days
from work in welcoming them to his
home and stating the health of his
family
Acres of cotton would be tramp
led by the canididatal army as they
sought him at work in his field.
Then, why not the candidatal cue
as happy solution of the prob
lem.
OF course, the candidates would
insist upon providing the dinner,
and such a feast would assemble at
Magnolia DELL or Prospect Park
the entire people of the county. Thus
corraled, the candidate could get in
his work most effectively.
Let some date, say within the first
week in April, be chosen by the
candidates for the barbecue and the
Times-Recorder will extend for them
an invitation to the people of Sum-
ter to dine here as their guests
And we will insure a full attendance.
Let the candidates move in this
matter. Favored with a good dinner
the able voter will be quite docile
and altogether approachable.

Mr.. GRIFFIN IS SEEKING
SEAT IN THE HOUSE

Interest is added to the legislat-
i've campaign in Sumter by the an
nouncement this morning of the can
didacy of Mr. Fletcher W. Griffin for
one of the two seats in the House.
Mr. Grifin's announcement has been
expected by his friends for several
days, and now that he is actively in
the race they will accord him a very
strong support. Mr.. Griffin is one
of Sumter's best known citizens, a
lifelong resident here, as was his
father before him, and his eminent
qualifications for the office he seeks
as one of Sumter's representatives
will secure for him a heavy vote in
the primary of April 18th

ABLY DISCUSSED
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Mr.. Young Heard by Guilt
waited Audience.

Before cultivated audience
that filled comfortably the auditori-
um of Miss Bells studio, Mr. Bick-
nell Young, of Chicago, last night ex-
pounded the tenets of the Christian
Science church. His manner was
that of a polished speaker and his
words were carefully chosen. The
undivided attention of the audience
was given him as he presented the
salient features of the belief
While by many of his hearers, the
teachings of Christian Science had
been imperfectly grasped, the subject
was so clearly set forth by the speak
er that the belief which has such a
wide acceptance was presented in a
new light.
Mr.. Young is a, member of the
Board of Lectureship, created by
Mrs. Eddy, and composed of those
skilled in the theory and practice of
Christian Science. 1t is the duty of
these lecturers to correct misappre-
hensiOn on the one hand and to in
struct on the other. Both of these
tasks were well done by Mr.. Bick-
nell last evening.

ADELBERT G.. MARTIN.


Adelbert &. Martin has gone to his
long rest. The citizens of Paw Paw
we're surprised and shocked last Sunday
| morning to hear that another business
man had passed away. Mr.. Martin bad
been in his usual health during the sum-
mer, but grew feshy rapidly and fire.
quently complained of having trouble to-
breathe. During the past few weeks
this trouble grew on him, although he
was able To be at the store every day
| and closed his business as usual the
Saturday night of his death. About 2
o'clock be arose from his bed in great
pain and expired before medical aid
could reach him. Fatty d generation
of the heart was the cause OF his death.
Mr. Martin was born in Pennsylvania
80 years ago last Friday and was the
eldest of three boys. He came to Mich.
igan when a small boy and has resided
in Vac Buren, county since that time.
He received good education and taught
in the district schools, later being super
intendent of the Lawton and also Ban
gor high schools. In 1887 he, with y
w. Rowland, purchased The True
Northerner and successfully conducted
the business for about four years, when
he purchased Mr.. Rowland's interest
and became the sole owner tie con
Quoted The True Northerner until apout
ID years ago, when he was elected coun
~ superintendent of schools and held
that position for four years. He then
became deputy internal revenue collector
aud resigned that position about four
ears ago to engage In the mercantile
business, which be conducted up To the
time of his death. All the positions OF
honor and trust which he held we're
filled with credit to himself and honor
10 his constituency. HE store was al
ways model Of neatness and was one
of the finest in south western Michigan.
Mr. Martin was generous to fault
and was always helping those 10 need.
de will be greatly missed in Paw Paw.
The funeral was held from the late
residence Wednesda, afternoon Rev.
Mechanic Milne was the officiating clergy
man, and the services both at the house

this organization. They own
the larger portion the saloons
and they have made them as
dirty as it is possible to make
them and now they seek to con
troll the county and state. 1t is
a query whether the Democratic
party had not better change its
name to the Brewers and Liquor
Mems party They seem TO
have control and they might as
well have the name.
Had the True Northerner used
the above language on its own
motion, we should have expected
to see some of our democrat con
temporaries rear up on the hind
legs and roar out a vigorous de-
NAL, but it is a quotation from
Wellington r. Burt, the great
millionaire Saginaw democratic
boss. Wellington r. Burt, one
time democrat nominee for gov
ernor in opposition to Governor
Luce; Wellington r. Burt, demo
crat candidate for representative
in the 57th congress against Con-
gresham ]. w Fordney; Well
ington Il. Burt defeated candi
date for the state senate from
Saginaw County at the recent
election.
Coming from SO reliable
democrat source, we have no
occasion, and no disposition to
deny the statement. Mr. Burt
certainly ought to know The
truth about his party, and it is
not TO be presumed he would
lie about it, even though he be
no George Washington.
