HOLDING UP VOTES IN
CONTEST FOR TICKET.
Entries Will Appear Next
Sunday.

For the reason that several of the
fair contestants who will strive 10
win that delightful trip to New
York did not desire to "get into the
game" before another week, the
list of entries does not appear this
morning, as expected. The contest is
on all right, and will prove by far
the most interesting ever offered in
Americus, as might be expected, for
the prize is surely worth striving for
to the last hour on May 31st. Times
Recorder coupons are eagerly sought
in city and county, and some lady is
going to make a good lead in the first
list published next Sunday The win
ner, as we'll understood, gets a round
trip to New York by steamer, with
all expenses of the trip, including
a weeks stay at a popIlac New York
hotel, paid for by the Times s-Recorder.
Save all the coupons that appear
daily and get busy with the other cou-
pons that count even more.

TAFI'S BROIHFR-IN-
LAW COMMITS SUICIDE
Was Assistant Treasurer of
Steel Go.
Especial to Times-Recorder.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 12-The YER
dict handed in by the coroner's jury
today on the death of Thomas K.
Laughlin, brother in law of President
Taft and assistant treasurer of the
John haughlin Steel Company, says
hits death was due to suicide. Accord
ing to the testimony, Laughlin, whose
funeral President Taft has alrady ar
ranged to attend, shot himself.
Mrs. Laughlin was Miss Lucy Hayes
Heron, sister of Mrs. Taft, and the
first report of the death of her bus
band was attributed to cerebral hem
orrhage.
The announcement today that he
had committed suicide created a tre-
mendous sensation. The motive for
the rash act is matter Of much spec
ulation. Although he was assistant
treasurer of the steel company, it is
emphatically denied that he is short
in his accounts with that concern.

SISTER TOLD STORY
IN TRIAL OF BROTHER
Turned States Evidence in
Larceny Trial.

The most interesting trial at the
temple here in some time was the
committal hearing given the two white
men, J. l.. Brett and Martin High
tower, Jailed here week ago upon
the charge of vagrancy, to which, the
charge of simple larceny was added
several days later.
"The woman in the case" turned
states witness, and her testimony re-
suited in the holding of the two men,
one of them alleged to be her
brother, in $500 bond
They were both bound over to the
next term of the city court.
The committal trial before Judge
Crisp yesterday grew out of the theft
of a drummer's sample trunk from
the Central railway depot here sew
eral nights ago, a large part of the
contents of fine goods being found
at the house of the woman by the
officers.
This consisted largely of fine hos
iery and fancy goods. The smashed
trunk was found in the grove near the
station.
The sheriff and police department
have been busy on the case for four
days and were fully ready when the
three prisoners were arraigned for
trial.
: To the surprise of the men, the wo-
man, Emma Hightower, fair denizen
of "the bottom" here, told the court
that her alleged brother, Martin High
tower, and J. J.. Brett, brought the
stolen goods to her for safe keeping
stating that they had bought them.
Her testimony throughout was in
favor Of the state and against the
alleged trunk snatchers.
The two men disdained legal as
sistance and conducted their case il
mastery manner, carefully quiz
zing the woman and the officers whC
testified against them. But the bur
den of proof seemed against them ant
bond of $500 was assessed agains
each of the men.
This applies only to the charge 0
larceny preferred and does not in
clude the case of alleged attempte
assault upon young girl here las
week.

SIXTEEN HAVE PAID
$40 TO TIL LIBRARY
Others Have Expressed In
tentiOn of Doing SO.

Sixteen citizens have paid their $40
Carnegie Library. This has proved a
most welcome addition to the institu-
tionIs finances, permitting the order
ing of books that are sadly needed
to meet the demands of the hundreds
of readers now using the library
Six or seven other citizens have an
similar contributions and their checks
are likely to arrive at ANY time, per-
mitting the purchase of additional
books and further freshening up the
depleted stocks.
The original idea was to secure one
hundred citizens who would contrib
ute $40, giving book fund of 1000
1t was not the intention to make it
obligatory upon these citizens to con-
tribute this amount every year, but
simply for the current year, letting
the future take care of itself.
Unfortunately, there has been no
one to make a thorough canvass and
| as a result hardly a quarter of the
desired number has been secured.
The fact that no great difficulty was
experienced in securing the ready as
sent of those who were approached
would indicate that a complete can
vass of citizens would readily bring
the number of contributing members
of this class well up toward the de-
sired hundred.
A number of new books ordered
some time ago are expected to arrive
at any time now. The librarian re
ports a continued increase in the de
mand for books of all kinds. Th,
number of children using the librar.
is growing larger right along and tn
calls for Juvenile literature bid fai
, to exceed the supply of reading mat
ter suitable for the young.

AMERICUS HAD BESTIN
LINE OF ATTRACTIONS
Season at Theatre Was
Best Ever.

Americus theatre-go have cause
for congratul tion in the unusually
good attractions afforded them during
the season now drawing to a close,
the very best, perhaps, in the long
history of the old opera house which
for thirty years has opened its por-
tails to the deVotees of Thespis.
Few can recall finer attractions
than those which have recently ap-
peared at the opera house.
In booking companies for his half
dozen play houses, Manager Gorta-
towsky evinced discriminating taste
and with one single exception not a
poor or mediocre attraction has ap-
peared here.
With more than thirty companies
.hus presented, this record is a re-
marl{able one.
During the season the following
very excellent attractions appeared in
Americus, although the list is not
wholly complete.
''Tha Man of the Hour"
Paid in Full" a most excellent
attraction.
Lion and the Mouse"
THE Climax" a play that has de-
lighted thousands.
"Strongheart," another very excel
lent attraction.
THE Wolf" among the first of the
seasons successes.
"St. Elmo" which played a return
engagement here, as it did in many
other cities.
'"The House of Thousand Can
dies"
Charles B. Hansford in Tanning of
the Shrew."
"a Knight For Day." which filled
the theatre.
The Jeffersons in "The Henrietta"
and one of the best.
'"The Servant in the House" a
play which has had phenomenal
run this season
"Graustark," one of the c1eanest and
prettiest plays presented.
In comic opera the leading attrac-
tions were "The Royal Chef" isle Of
Spice, The Manhattan Opera Company
and others.
Flower of the Ranch" was enjoy
ed among other plays.
The only Shekesperean plays were
those presented by William owen and
idompany, all actors of exceptional
ability.
Coburn's Minstrels was the only
minstrel attraction.
1t is matter of regret that the
patronage accorded on all occasions
was not what it should have been, al
though Americus comes up on the az
erage about as We'll as any other cita
of like size when all conditions arS
fully considered, together with the
price charged.
But this latter feature is governed
from New York, not locally, and the
scale of prices is the same as in other
towns.
Manager Gortatowsky may be able
to secure one or two other good at
fractions ere the season ends, but
even should this not be done his pa
irons will thank him and local man
ager Morgan for the most successful
and enjoyable season they have ever
known
May he do as we'll next season.
and may Americus people do even bet
ter in appreciation of his efforts.
