PULP SHIPMENT
Canadians Are Opposed to Shipment
to United States,

Quebec. Sept. A deputation rep
resenting all Of the pulp and paper
manufacturers and all of the Cana
dian owners of rights to cut timber
on crown lands in the province of
Quebec have called upon Sir Lomer
Gouin, the premier, and asked the
government to prohibit the export of
pulp wood to the United States. The
Americans having the right to cut
timber on corwn lands did not join.
The matter is to be submitted to the
cabinet and the indications are that
the expectation of pulp wood will be
prohibited throughout the dominion.
The inevitable consequence will be a
sharp advance in print paper
throughout the United States.

THE SEA G|RTH
RIFLE MATCH
Some Splendid Trophies and
Premiums Being Shot for
at the Range.

Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. 4.-The joint
rifle tournament of the New Jersey,
New York and Pennsylvania state rife
associations are now in full swing
and next week promises to be one of
the liveliest that dear old Sea Girt
has ever witnessed. The shooting to
date has been of high order and inter-
esting contests are expected next
week. The attendance is excellent
and every day hundreds OF visitors
from the near by Jersey resorts are
on the range cheering the rifiemen to
do their best. Tomorrow the week
will open with the contest for the
Swiss trophy at 500 yards. This is
the easiest of the longer ranges but
the conditions require that COMPETE
tor shall cease firing as soon as he
gets out of the bull. AS many as
thirty bulls eyes have been made IN
practice frequently but never in a
contest. The Hale match at 600
yards, New Jersey officers and in
spectors' match and the New York
company team match will also be
shot tomorrow. On Tuesday the
Spencer, N. j., Cruikshank. New York
and Maxim long range, Pa, will be
shot. The latter calls for ten shots
at 1000 yards in which the Maxim
silencer can be used. Hiram p.
Maxim, the we'll known inventor, has
given 5000 and handsome trophy for
this match.
September the Thurson long range
match with fifteen shots at 500 and 9p0
yards will take place together with
the McAlpin team match and tile mid
range match at 500 yards. The pro-
gram for Thursday is the heaviest Of
the week, comprising as it does the
Gould rapid fire match, the Seventy
first Regiment. N. Y, state rifle asso-
citation, New York revolver team, New
Jersey revolver team, and the New
Jersey all comers military revolver
match. Friday will see the most Irn-
portant contest of all, being that fer
the Dryden trophy. presented by form-
er Senator Dryden of New Jersey for
teams of eight. This is probably the
handsomest trophy for rihe shooting
in the United States and always brings
out a good field. 1t is shot a: 200,
600 and 1000 yards. On Friday the
new Libby trophy match for which
the trophy was presented by Ii. Col.
VIM. Libby Of New Jersey, will also
be shot. This interesting match will
be shot at 1000 yards, the competitors
being allowed to continue shooting as
long as they make bulls or fours. The
press match at 500 yards completes
the day.
The tournament will be brought to
an end on Saturday with the off hand
match, veteran team matcn and the
Sea Girt championship match.
The tournament is under the direc-
tion of Gen. Bird w. Spencer OF New
Jersey as executive officer, assisted
by Col. Charles B. Reid, of New Ier-
sey, 1t. Col. N. B. Thurston Of New

GOING AT HIGH SPEED
AUTO LANDS IN DITCH
Turns Turtle With Party of
Young Men

Driven at a speed of probably fifty
miles an hour, the handsome new
Jackson car of Mr. G. NJ Fldridge
turned completely over at the two
mile post out Lee street road yester-
day afternoon severely injuring young
Griffith Eldridge, who was driving
the car, and who fell partly beneath
it. The accident was the result Of
the driver catching the wrong lever.
In reaching for the throttle he caught
the lever which turns on the gasoline,
the increased power causing the car
to sWerVe on the rough road and turn
turtle, with the wheels spinning high
in mid-air. Young Mr.. Eldridge was
not as badly hurt as at first feared
when it was thought he might have
been injured internally, and he will
doubtless be out again in a few days.
Five other young companions with
him in the car were considerably
scratched and bruised, but none Sc
riOusly injured. That all escaped with
their lives seems a miracle, as the
overturned car was considerably
smashed.

WILSON AS PITCHER is
BEST IN HIS CLASS
Fine Record of AmeriCuS
TwirIer.

1t was lucky thing for the Ameri-
Gus Champs when they secured the ad-
dition of Mr.. Talmage ("DOc y Will
son to their pitching staff. This
young pitcher had done a mans part
in making the University School for
Boys, otherwise known as Stone
Mountain, the best prep school team
in the state.
Since his advent to Americus it has
sustained that position in the full.
In the two games he pitched in this
last series, out of f1fty-six men who
faced him. twenty-nine have been
struck out, two only have secured
safe hits, and one man has drawn a
free pass.
In addition to this, two Of the seven
hits made by his teammates in these
two contests have gone to his credit.
Americus fans have been favored
with some rare games of base ball in
these last four or five series. 1t is
doubtful if any team in any league,
big or little can make a better show
ing in the small scores, errors and
number of hits secured from their
twirlers.
1t is not necessary to leave Ameri-
Gus to see base ball, as we'll as some
other things.

AMERICUS DOING IT'S
SHARE FOR SCHOOLS.
Mr.. Christie Satisfied With Results of
His Canvass.

Rev l.. r. Christie of Valdosta left
Americus yesterday quite we'll pleased
with the result of the canvass made
among the Baptists for funds for the
high schools of the Mercer system.
There are seven of these schools, all
preparatory feeders, on the co-educa-
tfonal basis, for Mercer University
and the female colleges conducted
under the auspices of the Baptists of
the state.
This year it was decided to make an
endeavor to raise $4,000 to put these
seven High schools in a better posi-
ton to conduct their important work.
A staff of canvassers was put in the
field, and Rev. Mr. Christie was given
the territory in which Americus is To-
Gated. He reports quite satisfactory
results in this district.
In all about 5000 has so far been
subscribed The canvass is to con-
tinue until October. It is thought
that by that time, with the prosperity
that large crops and good prices have
brought, the remainder desired will be
secured
1t is hoped by many of the Baptists
of Americus that Mr.. Christie can be
induced to return to the city some
time this fall or winter to assist in a
revival service work. His work in
that direction a couple Of years ago
is very pleasantly remembered

DEATH OF JUDGE COBB

End Comes to Him After
Long Illness.

Judge Howell Cobb, brother of Cap
tain John A Cobb of Americus and
one of Georgia's most distinguished
public men. died at go o'clock yes
terday morning at his residence ia
Athens. Judge Cobb's death followed
a stroke of paralysis, received three
months since, and was not wholly un-
expected. although no immediate dan
ger was apprehended. His brother,
Captain Cobb, left Americus at 4:25
o'clock yesterday morning in response
% a telegram received the night pre-
yious, but did not arrive in Athens
before the end came The death OF
this distinguished jurist and man of
affairs is a distinct loss to Georgia
and will be generally deplored, as
during long public career he had
filled many positions of honor and dis
tinction in his city and state Judge
Cobb is survived by two brothers,
Judge Andrew j. Cobb of Athens and
Captain John A Cobb of Americus

ALDERMEN MAKE KICK
ON THE STREET WORK
Not Getting Results That
There Should Be.
The Aldermen Express
Themselve Plainly at
Council Meeting.

Judging from the comments that
were made in the open at the meeting
of the City Council on Wednesday
night the City Fathers are very far
from being satisfied with the existing
conditions in the street force of
Americus and the amount and charac-
ter of the work done by it.
The exhibition of the feelings that
have been, as it were, smoldering un-
der the surface, came as the result
of statement from Alderman Haw-
ldns, chairman of the Committee on
streets, that he desired authority to
engage the services of Mr.. Sam Nc
Garrah and his road force, now at
work for Mr. Crawford Wheatley
They will be through their work
for Mr.. Wheatley in a day or two -
said the alderman, and | understand
that [ can get their services for a few
days, say a week. | am anxious to
utilize them"
Some one made some passing COM
ment about hiring outside forces when
the city has a street force of its own.
Alderman Hawkins caught it.
II must admit said he without hes
itation, that the city force does not
work satisfactorily, Somehow we
don't get the results out of it we
should, I am free to confess that Mr..
McGarrah handles his men better and
gets one-third to a half as much more
work from man than the city does
from one of it's hands"
This led to some comments from
other aldermen about the city force
not giving the results that should he
had.
Mayor Fielder interiected remark
that the city was to blame if the re-
suits were unsatisfactory, that 1T
might dispense with the whole push
and get force thai ysesi11t,.. give work
that would''be satisfactory in volume
and character.
Before) Council wound up its little
discussion it made itself quite clear
that it lis dissatisfied with existing
cGImitions. The argument closed with
The adoption of a resolution empower
ing Chairman Hawkins to engage the
services of Mr. McGarrah and his
force for the work the street commit
tee wishes done at this time
Whether any further movement will
be made to reorganize the street de-
partment remains to be seen, but ii
is not unlikely after such a show
down of councilmanic feeling as that
of Wednesday night that there will be
a jerking" Up of the force and an ul-
timatum that better results must be
had to suit the Mayor and Aldermen.

some cigars and one or two other articles.
Suspicion pointed elsewhere, but these
things were found at Estate Whim,

took them, during his peregrinations. A
