TOM WATSON MAKES
HIS SPEECH TONIGHT
Pug UgIieS Will Be Shut
Out from Meeting.
Especial to Times-Recorder.


ATLANTA, Ga, September 20.-Thos.
E. Watson, red-topped and irrepress!-
BILE, is coming back. He's going TO
finish that speech. Tomorrow night
at the Orpheum Theatre the Thomson
sage will again open up This time
the crowd will not be so big; in fact,
admission will be by ticket only, and
Mr. Watson expects to come out bet
ter.
Here are the kind of tickets that
are being sent out:
You are cordially United to hear
Mo. Thos. E. Watson address his
friends at tie Orpheum Theatre, We'd
nesday evening, September 21st, 1910,
at eight O'Clock sharp. On presenta-
ton of this ticket at the office of Wat
sons Jeffersonian, 1876 1-2 Marietta
street, reserved seats may be secured
if desired"
The Orpheum speech of Mr. Watson
is intended to make up for his recent
auditorium- effort. 1t will be
recalled that an immense crowd went
to hear Mr. Watson at the auditorium
armory, but he was "howled" down
Mr.. Watson claimed that Congress-
man Hardwick, whom he has been
lighting for such long time, was at
the bottom of the disturbance, al
though it is claimed by the friends OF
Hardwick that he was at the bedside
of sick wife the night Mr.. Watson
attempted to speak.
Just what Mr.. Watson will have to
say Wednesday night is, of course, not
yet known, but it is generally be-
lieved that he will express about the
same views which he endeavored to
present at the auditorium-armory. He
is now imbued with the idea of defeat
ing Hoke Smith at the regular Octo-
Der election. lie has made every ef-
fort to bring out an independent can
didate to make the race, but has not
SO far succeeded. He wanted joe
Brown. The latter, however, will no.
entertain any such idea Mr.. Watson
may have somebody in mind that he
will tell about Wednesday night. Tie
public awaits the speech.

tODGtId- 10 4 -hecOTQer.)
Atlanta, Ga, September 2O.-The
Odd Fellows are here in great num-
beIs. This is the S6thi annual session
Of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. 1t
was held in the hall of the house OF
representatives at the state capitol.
Some idea of the size of the Odd Eel
lows convention will be gathered by
some statistics which were furnished
by the grand sire in his report. In
condensed form, it showed the follow
ing:
Membership of subordinate lodges
on December 31st, 1909, was 1,534, 4SG
Membership in the Encampments on
the same date was 217,533.
The membership in the Rebekah
lodges on the same date was 633,615.
The number of Patriarchs Militant
on the same date was 24,351.
All of which taken together, made a
total membership in all branches ol
the order, at the last of the year OF
1852, ,421.
The table giving the finances of the
order showed that in every department
its growth has been substantial. and
that all branches are in a f1ourishing
condition.
The total amount of revenues foT
the year ending December 81, from all
sources was $16S27, 1886.
The total value of all investments
of the order, of every kind, is estimat-
ed at 1851 ,41S.3S.

AUT0ISTS TALKING
OF THE GREAT RUN
New Record Established in
Fast. Safe Speedway
. me' icus and Albany
Have No Cars inter-
ed in the Great Run
as Yet.

Amerieus automobilists are still
talking of TIE phenomenal run from
Atlanta to Anlericus made by the At
lanta Constitution car in the prelim-
mary run around the state, prepara
tory to the great contest next month.
Leaving Atlanta after breakfast, the
Lozier car of Mr.. Asa Gambler, Jr.,
containing the owner, Mr.. Frank
Weldon, the promoting agent for the
all-round-the-state run and two other
AtlantiAns, made the run of 100 miles
to Amer.cu' in 6 hours and 10 minutes,
reaching here in ample time for din
ner
This eXc4eGed the best time possi-
BILE via rail and establishes an en-
~irely new record between the state
capital and the metropolis of South
west Georgia.
From Americus the car ran on t,
Albany and Moultrie, supper being
enjoyed at the latter place.
The cars representing the Macon
Telegraph and the Augusta Chronicle
were not far behind the Constitution
car, reaching Americus before z
o'clock in the afternoon.
In his account of the trip, Mr.. Wei
don quotes Mr.. Gambler as saying:
Il have never rode over as fine
roads as some of these in Houston
Macon, Sctley and Sumter counties.
he exclaimed. Il did not belivee there
were such roads in Georgia. The peo-
pie who go on the October tour will
De amazed at the progress these mid
die Georgia counties are making in
road construction. The roads from
Atlanta to Macon are good, but these
south of Macon are superb"
Gambler set the pace at so miles an
hour from Ellayille to Americus and
reeled off IA miles in nineteen min
utes, and that included railroad cross
ings and slowing down after reach
ing the city limits of Americus.
That was going some.
Americus has not yet entered any
cars for the October run around the
state. Neither has Albany But it is
not improbable that some will be
entered from among the enthusiastic
autoists of these towns.

ALBANY STRUGGLING
TO GIT GAS PLANT
Expert TO Decide Whether
It Will Pay City.


Albany is still struggling along with
the gas plant proposition Up to this
time the city government has refused
any concession for a gas plant, fear
ing it would make improbable the
municipal electric plant The clamor
of citizens for gas stoves and instaa-
taneous heaters, though, is becoming
so insistent that the council is now
thinking of engaging an expert to de-
termine whether a gas plant can be
made to pay The Herald says:
Mayor N. F. Tiff, who has had con-
siderable correspondence recently Oh
the subject of gas plants, this morning
received an interesting letter from
Henry /: Lea, a we'll known gas ex-
pert and consulting engineer of
Chicago
Mr.. Lea writes to the effect that
gas plants making gas from crude oil,
are in successful operation in some
cities. This is the type of plant which
Mr.. Tiff has been investigating AMI
concerning which he wrote Engineer
Lea. The latter states, however, that
the best type of plant for any city to
adopt depends largely on local condi-
tions, and it may be found on close III
vestigation that some other kind of
plant would pay better here.
Engineer Lea makes proposition
to come to Albany, investigate local
conditions and advise definitely as to
whether a gas plant can proftably be
established here, and as to just what
would be expected from such plant
He would also advise ais to the best
type of plant to establish in the event
HE finds that a plant would be profit
able here. For his services he asks
a fee of $3.50.
Whether or not the city authorities
will decide to secure the services of
this or some other enginoor to inve5-
tigate conditions here will probably
be discussed at the next meeting of
city council.

TOOK QUEER RISK
AND NETTED A FORTUNE
Lawyer, by Annuity Deal, SIs,75O
Richer When Client Died.

IL
Kansas City, Mo-, September 2O.-Jo-
sept Rust, a lawyer, made $18,75C
clear profit when Bernard Click, a re-
tired bookseller, died two days ago. By
strange contract the attorney inl-
mediately inherited the whole of the
dead mans property.
Six months ago Click and ATTORNEY
Rust made an agreement by which
Click turned over $4,000 to the
lawyer. In return for this Click was
to reserve 1925 a month as long as
he lived. When he died, the attorney
agreed to pay $500 for burial ex-
penses.
Under the agreement Mr.. Rust had
adanced the old man but $3.50 when
Click died. This, with the $500 bu-
rial money, deducted from the $2OOOo
leaves $1S,75O for the lawyer. The
deal was entered into between Click
and his lawyer, after being previously
submitted to several of the dead man s
business acquaintance, none of whom
would take the risk.
