GREAT INTEREST IN
SPECIAL SERVICES
Large Congregations at LIST
Baptist Daily.

The interest in the meetings at the
First Baptist church is increasing
daily. The attendance at both the af-
ternoon and the night services has
been growing and there is every evil
dence that the meetings will be pro-
ductive of much good.
Yesterday two excellent congrega-
tions greeted Rev Arch c. Cree, who
is assisting DR.. Burrows. Mr.. Cree has
won recognition as a preacher oil
much forcefulness, with those pecu-
liar magnetic qualities that especially
adapt some men for evangelistic work
He has won the hearts of his hearers
in Americas already and the desire tC
hear him has been strengthened with
every sermon he has preached. 1t is
seldom that Americas enjoys such ;
spiritual treat as is afforded by these
meetings, under the ministrations o.
two men of such eloquence and inten-
sity of purpose as DR.. Burrows ant
his associate.
The singing is excellent at these
services and one of the enjoyable fea
lures.

WilI Exhibit Under Large Canvas on
Hotel Park.

De Almonds Greater Southern
Shows, high-class company of thir-
ty-fiye people, will come to Americas
on Monday next for one week. The
company gives it's performances un-
der large waterproof tent, which
will be located upon the hotel park
opposite the Mclaughlin drug store.
A fine uniformed band of twelve
pieces is with this very excellent at
traction.
The program, which is changed
nightly, includes high-class comedies,
dramas and vaudeville. It makes a
hit with the public the first night and
has been making hits ever night since.
The people comprising the company
thirty-flve in all, from Mr.. De Ar
monds, the proprietor, down, are high
toned ladies and gentlemen. There is
nothing vulgar, nothing that the most
sensitive moralist could object to.
There is plenty to amuse and enter
tain. The music is exceptionally good,
and the comic features keep the audi
ence In roar from beginning to end.
In short, De Almonds Greater South
ern Show is in every respect first
class and is fully worthy OF public pat
ronage.

FARMERS SHOULD ALL

Macon, Ga, Oct. %, 1909
Editor es-Recorder, Americas, Ga.
Dear Sir, l left my home in your
little city October 81, arriving in Ma
con on the evening train, and had the
pleasure of visiting the fair grounds
this morning.
l found the fair on a boom, and the
exhibits of agriculture are the best
they have displayed in years. If the
farmers in the different sections fail
to see these exhibits, they will lose
an object lesson that will rebound to
their personal injury from more than
one view point.
The committee having exhibits
should be commended for the effort
displayed. and I would be glad if you
will say, through your paper to the
farmers of Sumter county. that as
their friend, and also the friend of the
4 State Fair Association, with all theil
connections. that if the farmers al
over the state fail to come and SCI
these exhibits that they will lose {
4 great deal And as one of their mum
bers, would advise that all who pos
sibly could avail themselves come ant
see what the great state of Georgia il
doing in an agricultural way, to sa!
nothing of stock raising. Respect
fully, ]. ]. WILSON.

TRAINED SEALS A FEATURE
WITH THE ROBINSON SHOWS
Many Wonderful Feats in Jugglery
Performed.

The most noteworthy feature of the
John Robinson show this year is the
troupe of trained seals. The seal is a
natural juggler but to see these queer
aquatic creatures juggling and balanc ,
ing and passing articles juggled from
one to another while one rides in a
buggy and the other rides on the back
of a pony, is real novelty and a re-
markable one.
The various equestrian acts are all
interesting, notably the riding and
driving of six horses by Gordon Or
ton which is a most skilful and pleas
ing exhibition. And there are some
fine exhibitions of wild west riding
and lariat throwing.
Another notable act is that of Wal
ter Travis, who well deserves his title
of The American Hercules" He did
some phenomenal feats of strength and
finishes up by allowing a big automo-
bile to pass over his chest.
A better looking and more intelli-
gent herd of elephants have never
been seen here. They did some great
stunts and seemed to enjoy doing
them. The clowns are very funny ano
keeps everybody in good humor. In
fact, take it all in all, the show is a
good one and will please the crowd
| that will witness it.
The Robinson Circus will exhibit al

sSTRONGHEARTs A GREAT PLAY
HERE NEXT WEDNESDAY
Play Deals With Romance and College
Athletics.

There is no lack of atmosphere of
college life in "Strongheart" which
will be presented in this city with a
company that is said to be fully up to
the standard of Metropolitan success
es. "Strongheart" is a study of col
lege life by William C. De Mile. Its
scenes are laid at Columbia University
and its characters are young men and
women who are perfecting their edu-
cation. The stellar role is that of
Songatha, full-blooded Indian, with
brilliant education and who has be-
come very popular member of the
college set until he falls in love with
the sister of his chum. This forms the
keynote of the drama and the racial
prejudice that it arouses has given the
author plenty of reason for some in
tensely dramatic scenes. Strong
heart" will be presented in this city at
he opera house. on Wednesday, Nov 5.

SAYS ROOSEVELT
WILL BUILD CANAL
Then Joe Blackburn Thinks
He Will be Chosen PreSi-
dent Again

By United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON. Deco. EFT is not
even intimated, nor would it be truthful
TO intimate that former President Roose-
welt IS unfriendly to President Taft or
the latters administrator. but it re-
quires the services of no prophet TO fore
tell that Roosevelt will be the next
President OF the United States"
This statement was made to-day by
former Senator J. c. S. Blackburn, Of
Kentucky. who has just resigned from
the governorship OF the Isthmus Canal
zone.
The greatest achievement Of the Roose-
welt administration, according TO the
then President himself" continued
Blackburn. was the authorization Of the
canal. Now under the forthcoming law
while Colonel Cocktails will be allowed
to supervise the engineering work. all or
the remaining features Of the canal pro-
ject will be put under the exclusive SUI
pervision Of one man. That man, will be
Roosevelt. lie will not be satisfied
merely to write for the magazines. but he
will go down TO the isthmus and build
the canal in two and a half years In
stead Of FIVE, the time now estimated.
Then he will return to the United States.
What will then happen? It IS as clear
as daylight. He will be nominated and
elected 10 the Presidency to succeed Taft
at the close Of Mr.. Taft's present admin
istration."

ADVERTISING DELAWARE.

TIE Delmar News thinks that Delaware
y needs campaign OF advertising. 1t points
out that Boards of Trade, farmers associations
and organizations everywhere are planning cam
paigns of publicity to benefit their own regions
and rightly declares that Delaware has many
things to talk about, many inducements to offer
capital and labor 10 come here.
In some states the Legislatures have decided
10 establish publicity bureaus the Maine Legis-
lature, for example, has authorized $4,000 to be
spent in advertising that state For years
Maine has been advertised as the Summer Play
ground of America and great sums of money
are annually expended there by summer visitors.
Trenton is planning a campaign to let the people
know the advantages of the New Jersey capital
as place for home and business
The News thinks that We have been sitting too
long with folded arms. looking complacenty over
the fields OF plenty and congratuatng ourselves
that everybody knows all about Delaware. And
there is some truth in that, especially so far as
the lower counties are concerned. Here in Viii
mngton we have done somewhat better. There
is no meeting OF any national body al which Will
mngton is not represented. At the sessions Of
the National Board of Trade. Wilmington occu-
pics a conspicuous place At the recent Water
ways Convention in Norfolk, Wilmington was
at the fore. and Congressman Lamb, of Virginia
i'm an address To the convention declared that
this great movement for improved waterways
movement that has spread all along the Atlantic
coast. originated in Wilmington. Delaware. Mr.
Lamb was once a guest of the Board OF Trade,
and knew what he was talking about. AT the
Rivers and Harbors Conference, and in fact at
an important gatherings, the voice OF Whining
ton is heard All this brings the city before the
country and is a good advertisement
And it is telling. Not person returns to this
CITY after an absence Of even few years who
fails to note with establishment the progress OF
the city.
One of the best advertisements that a COM
munity can have Is the public Improvements,
good roads good streets. fine municipal buildings
Good roads in Sussex, court house in keeping
with the wealth of Sussex and all that, would be
a fine advertisement
Every part OF Delaware has more visitors than
ever before. The automobile has been q great
means of bringing people into the state, and
these visitors talk favorably or unfavoraby upon
the state as they see II.
There is no doubt that good effective adver-
Using would paw Delaware as it pays private
business men, and anything that would bring the
state into more notice is TO be desired All the
rural parts could take care of more people, and
with the proper effort the new corners would be
uapy.
