NAMING OF THE BISHOP
SUBJECT OF INTEREST
AT Meeting of Diocese in
Augusta.

The time for electing the bishop
for the Georgia diocese is drawing
near and several names are being
mentioned for the place. The list OF
names mentioned has now grown large
and undoubtedly when the election
is held on February II in Augusta
there will be plenty of men to select
from.
Some of those who have been
brought to the attention of the mem
ers of the standing committee are
Rev. Frederick F. Reese of Nash
vile. Rev. Reese had the charge at
Macon for some time.
The others are Rev. Percy Gordon
of New Bedford, Mass, a nephew of
General Gordon and a son of George
A. Gordon, Savannah. DR.. Winches-
ter of Memphis. Rev. William T.
Capers, son of the Bishop Of South
Carolina; Rev. Robert S. CoupIand of
Baltimore and DR.. Moore of Rich
mond, Va.
From what can be learned at this
time it seems that the race has mar
rowed down to two men.
They are Rev. Frederick Reese who
is well known in Georgia and Or. Win
chester of Memphis. With so many
in the race and as each one has many
admirers there will probably be op-
position from all sides to any one who
might appear to have the required
number of votes.
The Americus parish, oyer which
the newly elected bishop will pre-
side, is interested in the selection of
this head of the church. Rev. J. B.
Lawrence, rector of Calvary church
will attend the meeting in Augusta.

DRINKS OR DRUNKS
few IN AMERICUS
Prohibition here beyond a
Doubt.

That prohibition prohibits" in
Amer1cus there is not the SLIGHTEST
doubt or ground for argument and
the hitherto most pronounced anti
will tell you from his seat on the wa
ter wagon that his only dependence
now is he family jug or his friends
flask
Americus wound up last night the
first month of state prohibition, and
the result is gratifying.
In fact, no city in the state can
show better record, morally or COM
mercially Drunkenness is now an
unknown quantity, here, and business
is as good as heretofore.
OF course there is a lull at this
season, as there is always, but this
is not attributable to the adbsence of
booze. The same conditions prevail
in all other cities of the state, while
really there is less falling off in
trade in Americus than elsewhere
But it is from a moral viewpoint
the new law looks good.
Not since January 1st has an in
toxicated white man been seen upon
the streets of Americus, while the
records of the police department show
only four drunks" in the month.
And these four were negroes, one
of them a nonresident.
Four arrests for drunkenness in
a whole month and this a city of
$4,000 population, speaks volumes for
the enforcement of the law
And citizens generally speaking, are
pleased with new conditions, and
many hitherto pronounced liquor men
would not return to the former re-
gime if they could vote it back.
AS further evidence of the fact
that Americus is going to observe
the law, and insist upon it's enforce
ment, it can be added that not a
case of blind-tigering or bootleg
ging has been discovered here since
prohibition dawned one month ago
Not even a locker club has develop
ed, and while one may 'hit the Jug
in his home or office, there is no
outward evidence of the fact Ameri-
Gus is dry dusty and glad of it.

WARNING is GIVEN THE
DEALERS IN DRUGS
Sale Prohibited by Revenue
Law.

Americus druggists are interested
in the ukase issued from the Internal
Revenue department respecting the
sale of patent mdicines containing al
cOhol. Druggists of the state gen
orally are being warned by an Off
GER, who gives a published list.
This list contains fifty-five we'll
known preparations containing alco-
hol, the sale Of which is prohibited
unless the druggist pays the usual
Government license of $25.
This is Uncle Sans usual charge
for selling liquor.
A glance at the lengthy list dis
closes the names of many preparations
which adOrn the shelves of Americus
drug stores, and under the ruling of
Uncle Sam the druggist so selling
must produce the long green and take
out a revenue license.
The list is too lengthy for publica-
ton here, but any druggist interest
ed can see it at the Times-Recorder
office, if he hasn't it already.
This is not an effore upon the part
of Uncle Sam to enforce state prohi-
bition. Uncle is not a prohi in any
sense and doesn't care rap about
it. He is merely looking after his
own interests, and dealers selling
"alki' must pay him.
Internal Revenue Collector Bergs-
from called upon all the Savannah
druggists a day or two ago, and may
drop in upon Americus at any hour
in making his rounds.
AS to the sale of Jamaica ginger
and such decorations that are sought
by people whose appetites crave a
stimulant, Mr.. Bergstrom said it was
up to the druggist from moral point
of view whether he would furnish
the stuff
An habitual drinker was usually
known to them, and they could tell
whether he wanted the stuff for real
sickness or merely to crafty the crav-
ing for drink, and druggist with
~ sense of moral right would re
Sc to sell it to such a man.
Americus druggists are not selling
my alcohol to speak of, only one
sale having been recorded thus far
in the court of ordinary here.

TO SHOW THE FARMERS
HOW TO USE SEED
Lecture on Cotton Seed
Products.

When the Agricultural College on
Wheels" starts on it's tour of the
state next month, there will be an ad-
ditional lecturer on board who is
there from the Cotton Seed Crushers
Association of Georgia at the request
of Dean A. M. Soule, in charge of
this spectacular train.
This request was referred to Presi-
dent M. S. Harper of the Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association of Georgia, with
the suggestion that it be complied
with
AS result, meeting of the exc
cutive committee was held and a
committee composed of L. A. Ran
som, M. S. Harper and E. F.. McBur-
ney was appointed to draft any de-
tails in regard to this lecturer and
his tour, who would take up the work
as outlined by the association.
The lecturer appointed, will show
farmers of the state the best manner
in which to look out for their seed sc
that the highest market price may be
had when they are offered for sale
and the greatest result secured
through crushing.

IN CLASP OF LA GRIPPE
A CITY is WHEELING
Hundreds in AmeriCuS Are
Thus Down.

Here in Americus hundreds are
wheeling and coughing with that
all prevailing malady, la grippe, and
there seems no abatement of the dread
epidemic. In almost every home in
Americus there are from one to a
half dozen cases, and the situation is
really distressing. Even some of the
physicians here have been down with
the disease, as we'll as their patients.
City officials, court officials, police
men, firemen-aH have been in the
embrace of the dread monster, and
several are still quite i'll and off duty
Mayor E. A Hawkins has just recov-
cred from an attack, City Clerk Haw-
kes was i'll yesterday, and Fire Chief
Macarthur has been in bed for ten
days. The weather here-damnable
withal-is highly conductive to a
spread of the disease, as torrential
rains have fallen almost continuous
ly throughout the month just ended

REPORT OF AGREEMENT
DENIED BY COMMISSION
Relative to Rates in The
State.

Printed reports that an agreement
had been reached whereby the rail-
roads of Georgia, or at least the large
lines, would go under the same agree
ment as to passenger rates as the
Southern, two and one-half cents a
mile, on April first, is denied by the
railroad commission. At least that
body denies that any agreement of
any kind has been reached with the
commission, or that any action what
ever has been taken yet. 1t is not
denied that such thing is possible
This would raise the rates on the At
lanta and West Point and the Western
and Atlantic from two cents per mile
to two and one-half cents,\ and on
the Atlantic Coast Line and the Geor-
gia road from two and one-quarter
cents to two and one-half cents. AS
a concession it is said the roads will
all grant interchangeable mileage at
two and one-quarter ments for five
hundred mile books and two cents for
one and two thousand mile books.

WATER AT COLLEGE IS
STILL IN PLENTY
Supply Not Turned Off as
Stated.

: The report current yesterday to
the effect that the water supply at
the agricultural college had been cut
off by the vigilant water office, be-
cause of non-payment of water bill,
was not entirely correct. 1t seems
that the college authorities had not
put on a meter-everybody- Ameri-
Gus knows about the meter-and were
advised to put it in without delay. The
supply was not cut off, even for an
hour, it was stated yesterday by a
member of the water board, and the
103 students there have an abundant
supply of the only fluid obtainable in
Americus The college will soon in
stall it's meter, and this remarkable
revolving device will prove a most
interesting subject of study for the
students of this institution of learn
ing. And if they understand it
thoroughly by the end of the term
they will have accomplished more
than has the average citizen of Am
ericus in twenty years.

CITY AGAIN IS SOAKED
BY FLOOD OF RAIN
Poured in Torrents For
Many Hours.

If January means to keep up the
record of rain since New Years day,
the finale yesterday was fitting one.
From daylight throughout the day
the rain poured, as it has done dur
ing two months and will probably
continue to do. The streets and stores
here seemed deserted, and business
was at a standstill. Farmers could
not come in, nor could town people
get out. Aside from the injury to
trade here, all farm work is badly
delayed by the continuous rains, that
fall almost daily. The fields are wa
ter-soaked and farming operations
generally delayed. In some locali-
ties, even here in Americus, wells
are full of water to the surface. If
abundant rain throughout the winter
indicates a good crop year, 1908 should
prove a recOrd-breaker in Sumter
county

1850 DOVES ARE SLAIN
IN THIS BIG HUNT

The monster dove shoot one day
this week on the Wooten plantation
below Americus was the first one of
the season here and one of the most
successful from the standpoint of
birds killed. This being the first
shooting there, the doves were num-
erous and literally poured into the
baited field where twenty gunners
eagerly awaited For hours the gun
fire was equal to that upon a battle
skirmish line, and bushels of birds
were killed. An actual count of
gamebags Showed ten hundred and
fifty doves killed, the highest score of
any gunner being seventy birds

No Hesitancy in Appeals

In view of these facts, the Y M. G.
A. management feels no hesitancy in
making appeals to the public to make
further contributions for the build

be, it is much appreciated, as it
aids materially in the payment for
that particular weeks work. In the
course of two years the subscriptions
will practically all be paid, and then
the organization will be on Easy

condition the building must be car
ried to completion.
1--WE feel much encouraged by the
collection of $1,000 this month";" said
Secretary Lemly yesterday. eff we
can collect that sum each month un-
til the building is finished, we can get
along 1 hope. Our contract with
the builders is a good one and we can
hardly afford to let it lapse. We just
must have this money and hope that
the good people of Americus will real

cue. The building will be great
