Large Number OF Voters
Disqualified.

Several hundred white voters Of
Sumter will not be elegible to vote
in the primary for county offices next
Thursday and all because OF their re-
fusal to register as the law requires.
The time is now short, and scores of
names are not upon the list.
These delinquents have had every
opportunity to register, and the fault
Of omission will rest entirely with
them. THEY can yet register this
week.
Collector Small has already slfbmit-
ted his list of qualified voters to
the printers, and the registration lists
are being printed. Where the work
has not been completed, it is yet
possible to add names
Of course, voter who thus quail
fies by Thursday next, election day
can secure from the tax collector a
written certificate to that effect and
thus be allowed to vote, but this nee
essitates needless work for the tax
collector and annoyance for the
voters.
The law is very plain. One cannot
vote unless he is registered, and one
can only register by going in person
and placing his name upon the lists.

EMPLOYERS THREATEN
LOCKOUT IN PiilLA.
New Phase Injected Into
The Strike.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Philadelphia, Pa, March "a gen
eral lockout is the threat now held
over the beads of the Philadelphia
strikers. The closing of eighteen
derry mills until Monday and the
threat of similar action by the tap
estry mill owners today was followed
by plans for similar moves in other
industries
Strike leaders declaring, that be-
tween 125,0O0 and 10000 more men
are joining in the strike daily, retail
late with fresh demand for a state
wide strike, and are planning for the
impeachment of Mayor John E. Rey-
burn. Max Kaufman, former private
secretary to Mayor Reyburn, has been
in conference with the committee Of
tenwhich has charge Of the strike
and it was declared today that he had
given information which would lead
to legal steps being taken against Rey-
burn Reyburn dismissed Kaufman
in 1910 and he and Senator James P
McNichol filed damage suits against
each other as a result of this ac-
ton.

fHF. ROADS OF SUMTlR
AGAIY IN FINE SHAPE.
Dragged Over Since Recent
Heavy Rains.

The fine roads of Sumter have. tq
a great extent, been given a top
dressing since the heavy rains of ter
days ago and are again as smooth and
firm ASIAN asphalt street. Built up
on solid foundation, it requires very
little work to keep the roads in good
condition.
THE Smithyille, Plains, Flint river
and Leslie roads especially are in the
pink 0 fcondition.
The county road gangs are still al
work upon the Ellaville and Leslie
roads, the former highway being built
northward to the Schley county line.
Supt. Christian stated yesterday thai
the force working toward the line Of
Schley, where it will join the good
road being built across that county
was now employed at the SECOND
Parker mill creek, several miles tt
the north of Americus, and is making
good progress.

of Sumter should be completed with.

Work upon the Leslie road, perhaps
the finest of all the good roads il

zebra brigade is working today be
yond Pleasant Grove church, tel
miles east of Americus, and every
mile of this road is a magnificent bou.

The convict force will be increased

April 1st, quite likely, and the build
ing of good roads here given greater

MORE THAN EVER lit
FAVORS INSPECTIONS.
Supt. Miller fnthuSed. Over
Results Elsewhere.

Supt. A. G. Miller, of the Americus
Public Schools, was we'll pleased with
the information obtained in his recent
trip to Indianapolis, and the insight
secured into the methods used in other
cities for the conservation of the
defective child"
The meeting attended by Supt Mil
Ter brought together the largest as
sembly of school superintendent that
has ever been held in this country.
The heads of the public school systems
of cities in all parts of the country
were present and for two days the
handling of backward children was
discussed from every standpoint From
all directions came the most glowing
reports Of the benefits obtained, ply
sically and mentally, through the in
PRODUCTION of the physical inspection
system that is proposed for Americus
In the larger cities, where unlimited
means is at the service of the boards
of education in their work physicians
are employed to make the inspections.
Cards are issued by them to trained
nurses and duplicates are sent to the
parents, directing attention to the ills
from which the children suffer and
giving recommendations as to the
treatment. After a reasonable time
the nurse calls at the homes and in
vestigates the cases further. By con-
tinuing to show an interest in the
cases, parents who may at first be
disinclined to follow the recommends
tions are brought to do SO for the
good of the child. Frequently the
benefits are almost immediate and
really wonderful.
In the smaller cities this system has
to be modified. In a city like Ameri
Gus, for instance, the physicians viii
examine the children in the schools
and when conditions are found re
quiring attention will furnish a re
port to the superintendent who il
turn will forward cards to the par
ents giving the information that tn
physician has impaired to him.
Supt. Miller will make a report {
the meeting of THE Board of Educatio
on Tuesday, March %, whenthe boar
will probably take definite action o
the inspection recommendation

BOARD OF TRADE NEEDS
MANY MORE MEMBERS
Some Have Dropped Out
Recently.
The Board is Only Pro
tective Organization
Americus Has.

There have recently been several
Withdrawals from the membership Of
the Board Of Trade, so that the mem
oership in good standing at this time
is about 125. The treasury holds some
ching in excess of $500, with some out
Standing dues to be collected.
1t is probable that at the next
meeting of the board a special can
yassing committee will be appointed to
make thorough hunt for new mem
b3rs. The membership of the organi-
zation is entirely too small for a city
of the size and Importance of Ameri-
Gus.
The Board of Trade is the only o.
ganization the city has to endeavor
to advertise the city and county, and
to promote and protect it's interests
generally At any time there is apt
to be a necessity for the active efforts
of such body. The need of a Board
OF Trade was clearly shown last year
when an effort was made to change
the freight rates on fertilizers so far
as Americus and its territory was con
cerned. But for the protest and ac-
tive work Of the Board of Trade the
farmers of this vicinity would have
been subjected to an additional ex-
pense of many thousands of dollars.
At any time such things are likely to
arise. 1t is then too late to start Or
ganizing. Tie thing to do is to keep
upa permanent organization that is
equipped for all such work.
Several of those who have recently
dropped out have done so on personat
grounds, on account of feelings of dis
satisfaction There is this much to
say about the work Of the organiza-
ton. WI1ile what it does and what It
fails to do, may not please every one
there is no questioning the fact that
its main purpose is to seek the devel-
opment of the city and county and
to be ready in emergencies to protect
business interests here generally. To
tear down such an organization on
personal grounds is to strike a severe
blow at Americus.

WILL ASK FOR REFEREE
FOR SUMTER COUNTY.
Instead of Transfer to the
Northern District.
This Was the Disposition
OF Petition Recently
Circulated.

The Board of Trade has postponed
action On the petition to Congressman
Hughes, asking him to use his efforts
to have Sumter county transferred
from the Southern to the Northern U.
S. Judicial District on the ground that
this would facilitate business in which
the attorneys and business men of this
| county are interested.
The matter, it will be recalled, was
brought up at the February meeting
of the Board of Trade by one ir more
attorneys who insisted that such a
change was desired by the majority, if
net practically all, the members of
the bar, and that public interests
would be promoted by transfer TO
the court of Judge Newman at Colum-
bus, especially in bankruptcy cases,
there being no referee in bankruptcy
at Americus.
Those present at the meeting were
disinclined to take action until some
more definite idea as to the public
wishes were obtained and the secre-
tary was instructed to see the busi-
ness men and secure signatures wher-
ever signatures were obtainable to
such a petition.
When the March meeting was held
the secretary presented a considera-
BILE list of signatures and requested
instructions as to what course he
should now pursue.
A resolution was introduced di-
recting him to forward the petition to
Congressman Hughes, with the re-
quest that he push the matter in con-
gress
G. R. Ellis, Esq, in opposing this
resolution stated that there were a
number of attorneys here who did not
favor such measure, that it would
frequently necessitate trips to At
l2nta, instead of to Macon, and would
cause greater expense, more time
and more inconvenience to them 1t
is also less convenient to attend court
at Columbus than at Macon While
there might be cause for complaint
because of the absence of a referee
in bankruptcy in Sumter county, he
felt assured that if the matter were
properly presented to Judge Speer that
he would appoint a referee for this
city and county.
Mr.. Ellis directed attention to the
fact that Immediately after the passage
Of the bankruptcy act Judge Speer
appointed Shelby Myrick, Esq, then a
resident here, referee for Sumter
county He held this office until his
removal to Savannah No one then
pressed for the appointment of a sue
cessor and the business was trans
ferred to Judge Proudfit at Macon,
simply because Sumter had not ex-
erted itself to keep referee here.
On the strength of Mr.. Ellis state
ments tn resolution was withdrawn,
the intention apparently being to re-
quest of Judge Speer the appointment
of some competent person as referee
in this county.

RESOLUTIONS FOR
STATEWIDE STRIKE
Passed By Convention in
Pennsylvania.
Especial to Times-Recorder)

New Castle, Pa, March 9.-The
State Federation of Labor which is in
session here today passed resolutions
favoring a statewide strike in sympa-
thy with the striking motormen at
Philadelphia, and it is believed that
grave complications will result. If
the resolution is abided by by the un-
ion men generally it means that be-
tween 100000 and 100000 men, women
and children engaged in every line of
industry in the state will be idle in
definitely. 1t is now believed that the
coal miners will be called out before
the crisis is passed

THE PROSPECT is GLOOMY
FOR CROP OF PEACHES
Continued v arm Weather Renders
Situation PerilOus.

Americus orchardmen are anything
than optimistic over the situation as
regards the peach crop, and if this
warm weather continues many days
longer and it is followed by hard
freeze it's going to be slow music and
the curtain for the Georgia peach crop
for the year 1910. In many places
the peach trees have already bloomed
and the people in the lower section
of the state are very much concerned.
They had hoped that in spite of the
warm weather the ground would re-
main cold enough to keep the sap
from rising but they have been dis
| appointed. If this warm weather con-
tinues and is then followed by freeze
the buds will be so far advanced that
the peach crop will be ruined.

ton of the Superior court, is investi-

or not such combin9tion exists in

old rivals will take place in the next
year or two. Relations in baseball,
however, appear to he most friendly
and both colleges have put this game
on their 1911 schedules, although
neither schedule has as yet been rati.
fed by the proper authorities.
After period of several years
during which time Harvard and Penn
sylvania have not met, the two insti'
tutions are resuming relations in all
the minor sports and also in track
athletics. where they meet in the in.
