FARMERS ARE BUSY:
PLENTY CORNpLANItO
No Increase n the Cotton
Acreage.

The recent rains in the country have
had fine effect, especially upon the
hundreds of pretty farms about Amer
icus and throughout the county 1t Ii
generally regarded that the present
season is the best the farmers of this
section have had for planting their
crops, and it is said that hundreds
of acres Of corn have been planted in
this county during the last week. The
farmers say that the corn crop this
year is going to be much larger than
last year, due in a measure to the en-
couragement that is being given to
corn raising through the corn contest
arranged by the Amercus merchants
and those in the county schools Or
dinarily the prices that cotton brought
last year would cause farmers to in
crease their acreage in cotton this
year, but meat and grain here were
so high that majority of the farmers
will pay more attention to those things
and not so much to their cotton.

Special to Times-Recorder.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 14-This
city is menaced by famine. Within
twenty-four hours, labor officials de-
clared today, the city's food supply
viii be cut off. Many workers in the
food delivery lines quit today without
waiting for night, when in obedience
to the call of the Central Labor I'm
Jon, all must cease work. In every
district today householders laid in
supplies as for a seige. No milk,
bread, groceries or meat will be deliy-
cred or sold tomorrow by the organ
lied clerks or drivers, if the plans of
the labor officials meet with full sue
cess. The general strike today changed
from sympathetic demonstration to
strike for higher wages in every in
dustry. While the business men and
city officials expected there would be
a rush on the part of striking en-
ployes to take up their old jobs today
the tenth day of the general sympa-
thetic strike, saw less than two hun
dred returning to work, and the gen
eral strike extending hourly.

WOODWARD IS HUNGRY TO
GET INTO THE GAME
With Business Split He Hopes to Land
Job.

Atlanta, Ca, March 14.-With Mayor
Maddox out of the way, many have
been under the impression that Jas
G. Woodward would make another try
at it. In order to find out how he
felt about it, some one asked him
the other day what he was going to
do This is the reply he made:
81 may run if my health permits
I hate the dirty game, but many OF
my friends have urged me to run
And for the sake of my friends
may go into the race this year"
The ex-mayor thinks there is !;
good deal of dirt" about the whole
thing. Still, as he indicates, he ma!
probably have another try at it. Thert
has been no indication yet of an.
movement to concentrate on a bust
ness candidate, and the outlook is 70
a free-for-all fight.
There have been two announce
ments, those of former Alderman F
A. Quillian and Mayor Pro TEN. e. I
Pomeroy, and there are more flirt
ing with it.

VOTING LIST is LARGE:
l,425 NAMES ON BOOK
Battle of the Ballots on
Thursday.

When Collector I. B. Small closed
his office for the day last evening
there were 1 ,425 names of white voters
on the registration list and eligible
for the primary on Thursday when
county officers will be nominated.
This is quite large list of voters and
evinces the interest manifested in the
election.
Collector Small thinks the total
list will reach 1900 by election day,
as many who are not registered will
vote by certificate issued from his
office.
Of this grand total perhaps 1000
votes will be cast.
While considerable interest attaches
to county primary, it is rare that
anything more than 65 or Is per cent
of the total vote is cast, and just
at this time many farmers will hesi-
tate to leave their work and go to tho
polls.
But the candidates will use every
effort to get the voters out.
While it is a general election, all
interest is centered in the race where
Opposition mas developed. This is
particularly true in the race for tax
received between three candidates
Messrs. Speer, Raiford and Howell,
and for county treasurer between
Messrs. Williams and Pinkston
The race for county school commits
sioner between Messrs w. S. Moore
and r. E. White is also spirited and
will be to the finish.
Thursday next-two days in the fu-
ture-is the date of the ballotical bat
tie, and if a heavy vote should be
polled it will be far in the night, or
even next morning, ere the actual
result is known.

TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH IS. 1910
AMERICUS MAN in NAVY
RESTORED TO PLACE
Lieut.. Burt Will Be Given
Another Chance.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer has
declined to approve the adverse re-
port of a naval examining board on
the application of Lieut. c. P. Burt
| OF Georgia, for promotion to the rank
of lieutenant commander. Had the
report been approved, Lieutenant Burt
would have been dismissed from the
navy, with no chance for a restora-
tion
Senator Bacon's influence and inter
est saved Burt the humiliation of dis
! missal. The senator's interest was
prompted by his absolute confidence
in the belief that a Georgian was
| about to suffer an injustice.
Instead of approving the report, the
secretary has given the officer one
year in which to prepare for another
examination for promotion to the
rank of lieutenant commander.
Lieut.. Burt is the son of The late
DR.. w. P. Burt, of Americus. He
graduated from the Annapolis naval
academy in 1896 as a steam engineer
and has since advanced to his pres
ent rank, with salary of $4,000 per
year.
The examining board found Liuet.
Burt deficient only in practical navi-
cation. He is an engineer and has
had no actual experience as a naviga-
tor, which explains this deficiency.
The board also found against his
moral character as affected by the
charge that he does not pay his
debts. The unfairness of the charge.
and the conclusions of the board were
developed by Senator Bacon in his
brief, which, showed also the admira-
BILE record Burt has made as an Of
ficer of the navy.
Lieut.. Burt was chief engineer on
the battleship Georgia from Ports
mouth to San Francisco, and thence
to Manila. He is now in Washing
ton.
