THE COUNTRY CLUB
WELL UNDER WAY.
Plans Accepted and Bids
in Hand.

The lease for the hNndred ground
tract ON which the Country Club is
to be located has been prepared, the
plan for the building, prepared by
Architect Lockwood, has been accept
ed, and bids are in the hands of the
organizers for the erection of the
building. In other words, the Sumter
County Country Club is now practi-
cally an assured fact
Yesterday afternoon there was a fur
ther meeting of those instrumental
in the organization of the club. At
this meeting organization was per-
fected until January, when the first
of what will doubtless be long series
of annual meetings, will be held and
new officers selected for the ensuing
twelve months. At the meeting yester-
day the stockholders made the follow
ing selections to serve until that time:
President, A. N. Walker.
Vice-president, Thomas Harold
Secretary and treasurer, Crawford
Wheatley
The committee appointed at a for
mer meeting to secure plans for a
club house presented it's report and
submitted the plans, which were
unanimously accepted. These plans
have already been described in full
in the Times-Recorder They call for
spacious club house, amply provided
with rooms for all purposes, with
large verandahs, a building that will
be at once picturesque and thoroughly
comfortable.
The building committee, composed
of Messrs. Harold, Dodson, Walker.
Wheatley and Gamble, were authorized
to proceed to contract for the erection
of the building as soon as they deem
ed it advisable. Bids were in hand
running from $500 to $4,000.
President Walker was authorized
to sign the lease for the hundred
acres of land, out near the Agricul-
tural College, for term of five years,
at $3.50 year, with the privilege
vested in the club OF buying at any
time during that term.
DR.. c. w. Walker, Mr.. Crawford
Wheatley and Mr.. A. N. Walker were
appointed a committee to draft by
laws.
A committee will solicit further
subscriptions to the stock of the club
in the next few days, A number Of
prominent citizens have not yet be-
come affiliated with the movement
but there is no doubt that there will
be a general response. A country club
will fill decided want in a social
way and at the same time it win be
very valuable medium in advancing
the city's interests as a tourist point

men are entombed, were abandoned at
/ o'clock this afternoon.
The sand over the seal was at a
temperature of 110 degrees, indicating
that the heat in the interior was in
tense. 1t is believed some of the coal
deposits have caught fire and the
flames are burning out the timbers of
many of the galleries. Riots are said
to be threatened as a result of the
bitter feeling against the mine corpor-
alton.

TOURIST RATES.
Gan Get Share of Tourist
Travel From West,
Assurances That Cen

Help Us to That
Desired End.

The Times Recorder has assurance
from officials of the Central of Geor-
gia railway that if this city wants
tourist rates and prepares itself for
the accommodation of tourists it can.
in all likelihood, secure the rates and
have the great advantages that arise
from thorough advertising of the city
in this way
1t will probably not be possible for
the city to offer facilities for tourists
this winter, or at least not until
toward the close of the winter Bat
the following winter, that of 1910-11.
should see it in admirable position 20
strive for a share of the tourist travel
coming down from the West over the
Illinois Central and Central of Georgia
roads.
The renovation of the Windsor hotel
will probably not be complete in suffi-
cient time this winter to have the city
advertised we'll as tourist point. The
building is to be given a complete
overhauling, as has been stated a
number of times, and when the work
Mr.. Lee Council contemplates is fin
ished, there will be no hotel in all
this section better adapted to handle
tourist travel than the Windsor, and
no place in better position to reach out
for share of this travel
Many tourists are not of the ultra
rich class, but are seeking a place
where they can secure good accommo-
dations at a moderate price. and
where they will at the same time en-
joy mild climate and have some OPP
portunity for outdoor recreation
Americus next winter will offer all Of
these. The renovated Windsor, with
its better equipment throughout, the
country club with it's pretty quarters,
it's golf links and it's tennis courts, the
fine fishing and hunting near the city,
and, in all likelihood, beautiful the
atre with an excellent list of attrac-
tions, will all be factors in making
this an excellent tourist point.
AS stated, the Times-Recorder is in
possession of assurance that Americus
can be made tourist point as soon as
it is prepared to offer accommodations
for this highly desirable class of vis-
itors The Seminole Limited" the
superb through train being operated
from Chicago to Jacksonville, passing

JNo. SHELTON WILLIAMS.

Mr.. Williams has always been re
garded by business interests here rs
a staunch friend of Americus. A num-
ber of the prominent business men
know him personally, and Americus
has followed his career as a railroad
developed with a great degree of in
terest The impression is general
that with Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Midden-
dorf and other old friends of Ameri-
Gus on the directorate of the Seaboard
the business interests of Americus will
be amply protected. This city has felt
a sense of personal attachment to the
Seaboard system owing to the great
part played by Americus in the build
ing of the old Georgia & Alabama, and
it is really with sense of personal
qualification that its people see Mr.,
Williams and other old allies of this
section once more in position to use
their influence in it's behalf if the oc-
casion arises
