"Caed Mile Failthe." which trans
lated means "A hundred thousand well
comes" was the message which passed
throughout the LAND today wherever
patriotic Irishmen gathered In celebra-
ton OF Ireland's day. It is symbolic
of the warm-hearted, impulsive race OF
people from the little green isle, tho
island which has given to the world
the bravest men and the loveliest of
women-the land which is famed for
its poets, its authors and its martyrs
the land where, as one poet expresses
it: There never vas a coward where
the shamrock grows"
Prosecuted IN their own beautiful
island, the sons daughters of Ire
land have led in other lands. The
history of all nations never is told
without telling of the deeds of Irish
men. IT'S history that the sun never
set on any land that didn't have a son
of the green isle in the front. In art,
literature and in the sciences they have
led. And on the battlefield the green
isle has given the greatest generals
and the bravest soldiers.
Irish In America.
But while Ireland's sons, driven from
their home, have made their mark the
world over, it is in this nation OF the
free that they a stood out. Amer
lea is their adopted land. Certain his
torians claim that this country was
discovered by st. Brendau. an Irish
monk, eight or nine centuries before
Columbus. civ presidents of the
United States were of Irish descent,
Monroe, jackson. Buchanan. Mckinley
and Arthur. Roosevelt's mother was of
Irish descent. There were two Irish
men on the Mayflower, William Null
Inns and Christopher Martin.
And in the War Of the Revolution SO
fercely did the Irish fight that history
relates that Lord Mountjoy. in the
British Parliament, declared:
you lost America by the Irish"
Three signers of the Declaration of
independence, Thornton, Smith and
Taylor, were Irish by birth. while five
more were of direct Irish descent, Rut-
ledge, Lynch, Mexican. Reed and Car
roll. The history of the Revolution
teens with Irish heroes. When George
Washington went as COMMUNICATIVE
chief of the army in 1775 he was ac-
companied by General Joseph Reed, his
first aide and secretary. Reed was
born in Trenton OF Irish parents. The
Irish were among the earliest settlers
| of Pennsylvania. The colony of Mary
land was projected by George Calvert,
secretary of state under James L; after
ward raised to the peerage. taking the
title Lord Baltimore from the town OF
that name in County Cork. His son
Cecil founded what is now the State
of Maryland. The people were mostly
Irish Catholics, but laws were passed
extending religious equality to all.
But why go on. Irishmen and Irish
mems o have played such a prom
inent part in the making of this, h
greatest country in the world. that It
would take volumes to tell Of their
great deeds

CORDELE WANTS SLICE
OF AMERlCUS TRADE.
Urging Crisp County to
Bridge Flint River.
And Build Roads So as
1t Can Get Sumter
County Trade.

Cordele wants to steal some of the
trade that Americus gets from Sumter
county. Cordele is pushing it's bust.
ness in various ways and it now casts
a covetOus eye across the Flint river
to the broad and fertile regions OF
Sumter county. 1t thinks it may man
uever in such a way as to divert the
business of a portion of the county
from Americus to itself.
The plan that has been worked up
in Cordele is to havethe county COM
missioners of Crisp county throw a
bridge across the Flint river into
Sumter county and construct a good
highway from the bridge to Cor
dele. The claim is made that the far
mers of a large section of Sumter
county have to come twenty miles or
more to Americus, while if the Crisp
idea is carried out they would have
to travel ten misles or so to Cordele
to do their marketing.
Yhe county commissioners of Crisp
now have the matter under consider
alton and propose to look into the
expense of building the bridge and
constructing the road. ,Inasmuch as
there is a considerable stretch of
swamp land to be crossed after the
river is bridged on both sides, it is
quite likely that the Crisp county peo-
pie will find that the cost is a pro-
hibitive one. They could hardly ask
Sumter county to assist in building
the bridge and the approaches on
this side of the river in order to take
business away from Sumter county
towns.
Americus now has good roads
reaching almost to the edge of the
Flint river and during the present
year or next will be further connected
with the territory that Cordele de-
sires to annex. With fine thirty-foot
highways running from Americus into
that region it is hardly likely that
Cordele, even if it gets the Crisp
commissioners to build the bridge, will
find itself much better off as a re-
suit in the way of increased trade

HAIL FALLS IN SUMTER
FROM A CLEAR SKY.
Driving Storm in Eastern
Section.

Doctors Wade Chamblss and Dou-
glas Mayes witnesses an unusual phe-
nomenon yesterday morning at $3.50
O'Clock, when storm of hail fell
from an almost cloudless sky. These
gentlemen were returning to Americus
from a professional visit in the east
tern section of the county, and when
near the Methvin place encountered
the hail. There was no rain, or thun-
der, or any premonition of storm, and
the gentlemen were amazed when pelt-
ed for five minutes with hailstones as
large as marbles. This was only one
of the several remarkable weather
stunts occurring recently in the
patchwork quilt of rain, spring, hail,
heat, freeze and sunshine that is
spread on here within week.

people living on the premises and their
names.
The work is a simple one. 1t will
take but minute or two of time fol
any housekeeper to give the names OF
those living in the house, or on the
! premises.
All that is desired at each house
is the names of those actually living
on the place, not of servants who
live elsewhere. This is done to avoid
duplication.
If citizens give the hearty -co-op.
GRAFTON that is expected the taking OF
! this checking census should be com
, pleted within four to six days.
The figures will then be compil ed
and be in readiness for the use of the
government enumerators to check
their own figures by, as well as to
give to the public here and to the
world outside.
The Board of Trade census will be
taken as the exact population of the
! city in all advertising matter about
Americus until the government census
appears. 1t will be some months be-
fore the latter figures are made, public.
But there is no doubt, with the data
carefully compiled by the Board %
Trade to assist them, that the govern
ment enumerators will give to the
city approximately the same popula.
tion that the Board of Trade does.
Every householder should feel suf-
ficient interest in the welfare of Amer
icus to heartily cooperate with the
Board of Trade in making the CEN
sus absolutely accurate.
The enumerators who will do the
work for the Board of Trade are
Messrs. e. S. Lee, o. D. Reese, J. N.
Garter and Henry Stanfield.
They will call at the office of the
Secretary of the Board of Trade in
the Ttmes-Recorder office this morn
ing at o'clock and receive their
books, badges and instructions and
start work Immediately.

TOLD THEM OF THE
HOSIERY MILL PROJECT
Business Men Impressed
With Proposition.
Looks Like Good Thing
For Investors and
For City.

Mr.. Spang, the Columbus manufac-
turer who is interested in the es-
tablishment of a hosiery mill, met
a number of the business men of
Amerieus yesterday morning in his
room at the Windsor Hotel and laid
before them his proposition for the
establishment of the proposed mill in
this city.
The project calls for AN invest
ment of $4,000 on the part of the
Americus stockholders, if the company
should be organized A mill would
be established that would employ
about 300 hands, with a weekly pay
roll of $500 to $4,000.
There would be no mill settlement
or commissary, the employees wing
in the city wherever they del sed
and purchasing supplies from IL sal
merchants, thus avoiding one of the
most Objectionable features of cotton
mills. The hosiery mill employees re-
ceive much large wages than those
employed in cotton mills and are a
much more desirable population.
Mr.. Sprang went fully into the de-
tails of the plan, giving all the infor-
nation that was desired and express
ing his willingness and ability to sub
stantiate all statements made.
"a very favorable impression was
made on those present Last night
there was a further meeting at the
city council chamber, when the mat
ter was laid before more citizens.
1t is felt that if the proposed en-
terprise, which appears to be a good
thing on the face, is to be taken up
and carried through it must be done
through the instrumentality of a com
mittee of three or four leading
men of means, who will carefully in
vestigate and be prepared to present
complete reports to other men of
means whose interest in the project
may be aroused.
1t is not known what further stess
will be taken in the matter. The mill
apparently promises to be a decided
ly profitable investment for the
stockholders, if the company is form
ed, but it would probably be neces-
sary for half a dozen men of affairs
to take held Of the matter personally
and organize by taking the greater
part of the stock themselves. Whether
anything further will be done along
this line remains to be seen. 1t would
be a great forward stride for the city
to secure an industry of this char
acter, increasing the population and
business of the city considerably, and
it would seem that it offers a pros
pect of very handsome returns to those
investing.
AT the meeting last night a COM
mittee composed of .Messrs. John w.
Shiver, Frank Lanier, Thomas Har-
rold, Frank Sheffield and Arthur Ry-
lander, was appointed to investigate
the proposition and take such further
steps as in tteir judgment might
seem advisable
