HEAPS OF CRANBERRY
SAUCE FOR THIS WINTER
Growers Can't Get Help Enough to
Gather Bumper Crop.

Toms River, N. J., September 3d.
The cranberry harvest is more than
half over; the frosts are due any day
and the growers are hustling to get
tie berries off the vines. 1t will be
the biggest harvest ever made iu
South Jersey, and, what is un1sual
with a big crop, the fruit is large
handsomely colored and finely flavor
ed. Two reasons are given fo~ the
big yield. One is that spraying regu.
larly and generally has eliminated the
scald The other is the vast increase
in acreage that has come into bear.
ing in the last few years.
Tie crop is so big that the growers
are hampered in gathering it. TIL;
small growers depend on their neigh
bors to pick the berries, and tn.
larger ones have been going to Phil
adelpMa after foreign pickers, bu
not enough of either can be found t.
pick all the berries before cold weathol
sets in.

EATS THIRTY-SIX EGGS
AND STIIL1IS HUNGRY
Americus Negro DeyOafs Hen Fruit
Wholesale.

Thirty-six raw eggs swallowed at
one sitting was the feat accomplished
yesterday by an old negro here, and it
lost an Americus policeman $105 to
see him do it. The old darkey was
looking hungrily at a case of "eni-
balmed' OF cold storage eggs as Off
Ger Tinsley passed by, the old negro
remarking that he would so much like
to have ''about three dozen of 'em
raw" Never dreaming that cuff could
do it, the officer offered to pay the
freight if the eggs were nested und3I
the ragged old vest. The old nest
wrecl0er jumped at TIE offer, and in
side of five minutes the three dozen
raw eggs were inside of him. Tinslev
promptly paid the costs at 35 cents
per dozen.

Shortly.
No Decision is Reached
and Body Adjourns
Until Monday Night
Next.

Shall the 236 qualified voters OF
Americus determine the forthcoming
election for the issue of bonds fol
municipal Improvements, or shall the
registration books of the city again
be opened and other citizens than
those already registered be afforded
opportunity for doing SO?
This was the momentoas problem
which confronted the solons in meet
ing last night.
Council met in extra session for
the purpose of naming the date os
the bond election and naming clerks,
managers, etc.
City Attorney Lane presented care
fully prepared resolutions for the con
sidieration of council. embodying
therein all features covered by the
statutes regarding bond elections. It
seemed all right, but the solons were
not certain.
1t was contepded by Alderman All
len, and other members coincided with
him, that only the regularly qualI
fed voters; those who participated
in the last general city election, that
of December, 1909, were qualified 20
cast ballot in the forthcoming bond
election,
This is the plainly written law, as
shown by sections of the code rea1
for information,
Mayor Fielder thou ght that it woula
be necessary to re-open the registra-
tion books and let all voters quail
ify who might desire. The bond case
from Albany, wherein the Supreme
court held that voters might register
within thirty days prior to the elec-
tion in that city was cited.
The salient features in the Albany
case We're not clearly remembered ov
any present, and further investigation
will be required.
All of the council insisted only
that TIE Forthcoming election be held
strictly within accordance to law il
order that there might be no slip-uo
N the bond is1ue. In order to secure
further information the meeting al
ourned until Monday night next.
If it is held that only the 23o
voters now registered shall vote in
the bond election, it will be lively

MONEY IN MISSIONS IS
STILL THE DEMAND
BaptiStS in Georgia Will
Respond.
Especial to Times-Recorder.) J

Atlanta, Ca. September 30.-Con-
siderable interest is being taken jus!
now in the work that is being done
in raising money for missions by thu
State Baptist Home Mission Board, o;
which Rev. j. j. Bennett is secretary
At the beginning of the work for the
present year the board, it is stated
was much handicapped. There was :;
debt of $4,000 resting upon the State
Mission department. Efforts are now
being made to wipe out this debt ani
put money in the treasury.
Mr.. Bennett, in speaking of tle
matter, says the work done last year
SHOULD have appealed to the members
of the church In Georgia more than
it seems to have done.
when We recall that over six thous-
and additions to the churches were re-
ported; that indirect assistance was
given to one thousand boys and gir's,
struggling for equipment for life; that
over seventy-five churches, struggling
with the problem of supporting pas
tors, were helped to have preaching,
that a number of storm stricken
churches were assisted in rebuilding.
we are led to believe that it shoull
have enlisted the interest of every
one"
Mr.. Bennett says that the board
needs larger gifts to this department
of its work. Several churches IN
Georgia ought to give above $1,000
each year, he declares.

4 PLEASING INNOVATION

By appointing and issuing appro-

representative young ladies of Florida
and to half u dozen daughters of Unit
ed States Navy officials to serve as
maids of honor to Miss Elizabeth
Fleming of Jacksonville. when she Of
fciated az sponsor at the launching OF
the battleship Florida, Governor Gil
christ inaugurated a pleasing innova-
ton which seems TO have met with
warm approval, both by the navy Off
Gals and the public.
The Brooklyn, y. Y, Standard Union
of recent date says:
Governor Gilchrist'S idea of APP
pointing a staff of maids of honor for
Miss Fleming is something that has
never before been done at navy
launchings."
The daughters of the navy who were
selected, highly appreciated the I'M
usual compliment and it is hoped in
navy circles that Governor Gilchrist's
idea will establish a precedent which
will be followed upon similar occasions
in the future.
In addition to the courtesy of nam
ing several young navy ladies maids of
honor. Governor Gilchrist also pre-
scented to fifty ladies of officers fam
lies handsome pins, upon each Of
which was enameled the great seal of
the state of Florida.
These unique pins We're eagerly
received and We're conspicuouSly worn
at the launching. The delicate man
ner in which the Governor of Florida
gave expression to the pride which the
people of his state felt in the honor of
having the great battleship named
FLORIDA" and in showing the appre-
citation Of the numerous courteSieS eX-
tended to his party at the launching.
was the subject of great deal OF
pleasing comment.
Quite number of Florida young Ia
dies were entitled to appointment as
maids of honor at the battleShip
launching, but We're unable to attend.
Governor GilchriSt has had prepared
handsome commissions bearing the
great seal Of the state, which will be
issued and forwarded TO each of these
