Mr.. BURDEN AT Y. MIC.
A. THIS AFTERNOON.
Prominent Ldyman Will Ad-
dress Citizens.

Interest in circles religious center
in the visit to Americus today of Hon.
R. F. Burden, of Macon, in the interest
of the great gathering of the Layman' s
Missionary Movement in Macon the
last of this week, and which the peo-
pie and churches of this city feel a
deep interest.
Mr. Burden is one of that number of
increasing merchant princes who are
giving their time and money to place
the business of the church and mis-
sions on the same solid basis that has
yielded their competence.
He is the Conference representative
of the South Georgia Methodist church
in the movement for the execution
of thegreat command to the churches
and which has adopted as its slogan
'The Evangelization Of the World in
this Generation"
The Laymen's Missionary Movement
is the outgrowth of the great cry for
the churches share of the wealth of
its members for the propagation of
its work. 1t has enlisted the atten-
tion of leaders of the church through
out America.
In order to place the nature of this
gathering, many of Maeon's leading
citizens are engaged In campaign
by automobile, telegraph and Hele=
phone as well as rail, at their own ex-
pense, to induce the men of nearby
towns and cities to attend.
Mr.. Burden will address a Greater
Mems Meeting at the Y. M. c. A. at
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon at which
time he will have for his subject,
THE Great Commission. He is a
speaker of rare ability among laymen
and will no doubt attract large
gathering.
Preliminary to this meeting he will
be heard at the Methodist church for
few minutes at the close of the SER
vice. At night he will be heard at the
Baptist church.

TOUR OF THE CENTRAL
MADE BY OFFICIALS.
Conditions in Georgia Are
Studied.
Capt. Merry of Illinois
Central is Shown
the Conditions.

The Times-Recorder two days ago
told of the presence in Americus of
Mr.. j. G. Halle, general passenger
agent of the Central of Georgia Rail-
way, accompanied by Captain ]. F.
Merry, the general immigration agent
of the Illinois Central, with which
system the Georgia Central is allied
Messrs. Halle and Merry we're then
completing an extended tour of the
Central's lines in South Georgia, hay-
ing in view the bringing of immi-
grants this way
OF Capt. Merry's visit to Savannah
subsequently the Press has the follow
ing extended mention:
For the purpose of having him get
acquainted with the territory covered
by the Central of Georgia, so that he
may work to get immigrants to come
to this section, the Illinois Central
railway has sent it's general immigra-
ton agent here and he is now going
over the system.
HE spent the early part of the week
in Savannah and since that time has
been out over the line of road.
"That the Illinois Central purposes
to boost the territory along it's recent
acquisition, the Central of Georgia, is
evidenced by the presence of Captain
j. F. Merry, geenraI immigration
agent of the Illinois Central, who has
been on the property the entire week.
Merry, who is veteran in the i'm
migration line, is being shown over
the property by Mr.. J. c. Halle, gen
eral passenger agent, and Mr. ]. NJ.
Mallory, industrial agent, respectively,
of the Central Both of these gentle-
know the Central and its territory.
Captain Merry will see the terri
tory in its best light, still there WILL
be no inclination to overdraw the pic
ture or to make it appear that the
territory is any other than it is capa-
BILE of proving
"It would appear that Captain Mer-
ry is quite sure of a large number of
Western farmers coming to Georgia
during the year.
He is impressed with the territory
-raversed by the Central and that he
sees the rich possibilities of develop
nent. There is not a single line of |
he Central that the nartv hava not
been over, or will get over before
Captain Merry returns to his head
quarters in Chicago. The thorough |
manner in which he is going over the
is indicative of the manner in
which the Illinois Central people go
after any proposition"

LIMIT OF CAPACITY is
REACHED AT SCHOOL.
Quarters in DOrmitOry All
Filled.
Affairs at College In Best
Condition--New Street
Soon Be Opened.

Affairs out at the Agricultural and
Mechanical School are moving on with
the system and regularity of we'll in
stalled machinery. Everything is in
it's place, and every one knows his or
her place. The many new boys at the
school are fascinated with the system
and order of the work they are doing.
They find so many things to do that
they have no time to cherish "home-
sickness"
A number Of new boys have been
wedged in the dormitory during the
week. There has not been a day dur
ing the week that there has not come
an application for admission into the
school.
Thursday was the record day for the
week, four applications having been
received that day. 1t was not until
Thursday that the superintendent had
to say to applicants that no more
room was left in the dormitory. The
applications are coming from all over
the state.
There are a few places left in the
girls home, yet when the girls who
have been assigned to places in the
home arrive there will hardly be place
left. One young lady from Atlanta has
been assigned to a place in the girls
home during the week.
While the boys are engaged with the
farm, the dairy, and the industrial
work, the girls are being given music,
sewing, cooking and have in charge
the management of the poultry runs.
All are busy at useful work and they
like their work.
1t is expected that not less than so
boys will have to be turned away for
want of room in the dormitory. This
might have been expected,
but it has come earlier than expected.
The conditions must be met and pro-
vided for

now on foot that will enable the au-

towards the city. The ground floor to
be used as dining hall and the sec

college authorities have secur-
ed titles to a seventy-foot strip be-
tween the Wallis and Wilkes proper
ties. The surveying corpse at the col
lege has surveyed the new street and
marked it out. The opening of this
street means much to the citizens Of
Americus and the college. The school
is Americus' permanent institution.
It is estimated that at this time that
the school is causing not less than
$4,000 per year to be spent in Ameri-
Gus. Can't this new street be opened
up?
