MISSISSIPPI SENATOR'S
ENGAGE IN FISTICUFF.
Bribery Scandal Supposed
to Be Cause.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Jackson, Miss, April 11.-While
Chaplain White was praying in the
state senate today there was row
upon the floor of the chamber, caused
by Representative Frank Burkett and
Director of Archives and history Dun
bar Rowland engaging in rough ana
tumble fight. Representative Bu~>
kett, who was once a candidate for
vice president on the Populist ticket
but who has since came back into the
Democratic fold, is very large man
and was being vigorously pummelled
by his smaller antagonist when other
first reached the scene of the
disturbance. During the struggle, how
ever, Burkett managed to get from un-
derneath Rowland and struck him a
a terrific blow over the head with a
chair, rendering MIN unconscious.
The row IS supposed to have been
the outcome of hi words engaged IN
by tle two gent,emes during the re-
cent bribery Investigation that has
engaged the at+ent on Of Mississippi's
lawmakers for the pas two weeks.
Rowland's injuries are not believed to
be of serious nature

TO SOLICIT MEMBERS
FOR COUNTRY CLUB
Committee Will Begin Work
on That Line.

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Sumter County Country Club was
held yesterday afternoon.
A report was presented by the
building committee, showing that the
building is now practically completed
and in readiness to receive the furni-
ture.
Water will be run into the build
ing this week and the wiring for the
electric lights will be completed in a
few days.
It is evident that the club building
can be opened for the use of members
within a short time. 1t was according
ly decided to make a canvass for
members
A committee composed of Messrs.
Frank Lanier, Thomas Harold, Craw-
ford Wheatley and r E. McNulty was
appointed for this purpose, and also
to solicit further subscriptions to the
stock of the club
The committee will begin work this
morning and will report at a meeting
on Wednesday afternoon, when further
steps will be taken toward the opening
of the club.

COMMITTEES ARE TO
BFSAMfD TONIGHT.
And Arrangements Made
For Annual Dinner.

The regular monthly meeting of the
board of trade will be held in the
city council chamber at 8 o'clock to-
night.
Among the matters to come up ct
this meeting is that of the annual
dinner of the organization. 1t was de-
cided at the last meeting that the US
ual dinner should be held, and that
the entertainment committee should
have it in charge. 1t is probable that
a report will be made at tonight's
meeting, the date fixed and other pre-
liminaries attended to-
The committees for the ensuing year
are also to be named by President
Shiver. This was deferred until the
list of members could be revised. Since
the last meeting it is understood that
a number who had dropped out of the
organization have renewed their mem
bership. President Shiver desires to
make the committees as strong as pos
sible, with view to effective work
during the next eleven month
There are usually several matters
of Importance that come before the
board at it's monthly meetings and a
large turnout of members is hoped
for.

CROWDS FILL THE CHURCH
TO HEAR REV TURNER
Meetings at FurlOw Lawn Baptist
Continue This Week.

The revival meetings which have
been in progress at Furlow Lawn Bap-

been continued with unabated interest.
Record4breaking crowds heard Rev. ],
Clyde Turner on Sunday, the congre-

Of the church. Mr.. Turner's charm as
pulpit speaker consists very largely
in the fact that he makes the most
profound subjects so plain and simple
that even the children of the congrega-
tion understand and listen eagerly to
what he says. He will preach again
this afternoon at o'clock and tonight
at 7:30, and will doubtless be greeted
by large and enthusiastic audiences
at both services.

FRICTION is ENDED IN
REMOVAL OF FENCE
No BdIlgame in Courthouse
As Feared.
Grand Stand and Fence
Pulled Down. Getting
New Park in Shape.

The court house will not be the
scene of the Champs first ball game
in Americus this season, as was feared
recently as the result of the removal
of the club property from the old ball
park to the new grounds. In fact
there will De no trouble whatever
growing out of the matter.
1t was veritable tempest in a tea
pot and the cooing dovelet now how
ers over the scene of apparent fratri-
cidal strife.
The work of dismantling the old
park is going on at a rapid rate, and
ere the end of the current week the
grandstand, bleachers and fence viii
be in position on the new grounds in
the rear of the Parker warehouse.
Any existing differences to this end
were adjusted yesterday and permis-
sion given by the owners of the old
ball grounds for the removal of the
clubs property.
This action disposes of any conten-
tion upon that score
Manager McGregor will have a force
of laborers at work today, shaping up
the new ball grounds There is a
great deal to be done upon that line,
and it is estimated that twill cost
the team 5000 to put the diamond in
shape for playing and to level off the
grounds.
The park is hardly as large as de-
sired. but it's advantageous location is
greatly in it's favor. Hundreds will
attend the games there who never
went to the old park.
This was a mile distant, and during
last season the local team paid out
probably 1925 in hack fares for visit
ing teams. The new grounds are with
in a block of the Allen House, and
three blocks of the Windsor Hotel
Some money will be needed for ex
penses incurred in fitting up the ney
park, and this will be forthcoming
Americus is essentially a ball town,
and enthusiastic supporters of the
game here can be depended upon to
help the team in their hour if neces-
sity. They will get the money
The ladies-the most enthufastic
fans and darling "rooters" that ever
backed up 4 ball club-are pleased
with the change of base, and will at
tend the games in larger numbers than
ever before.

PLACEDIS2,OOO STOCK
INSIDE TWO BLOCKS.
Committee Reported Much
Public interest.
Half of Stock VIII Be
Placed BY Thurs
days Meeting.

The committee charged with the So
Letting of subscriptions to the stock
OF the Ame1;Cus Industrial Develop
ment Company made preliminary re.
port at the meeting last night.
The committee had only been able
to give a little over an hour to the
work of soliciting inside of two blocks
in the business district, but it had Sc
sured subscription to about two hun.
dred shares of stock, which, at $40
each, mean $4,000.
The committee stated that it felt
satisfied that it would not be diff
cult matter to double this in another
hour or two, and that out of twenty
five people seen only two had failed
to subscribe for from one to ten shares
of stock.
The general opinion is that with
reasonable degree of push the stock
desired placed can all be disposed Of
and the organization begin life with
1000 shares subscribed for, which
would give it a capital of $4,000 with
Wh.ch to operate. This would be pay
able at the rate of 81 a share pei
month, giving an income available
for industrial promotion of $1,000 per
month
AT the meeting of the Board of
Trade tonight it is probable that that
body will be invited to appoint
committee to cooperate with the So
liciting committee already in the field.
Practically every one working in the
interest of the Amerlcus Industrial De-
velopment Company is a member of
the Board of Trade.
Another meeting in the interest OF
the industrial development movement
will be held at the council chamber
on Thursday at o'clock, when it is
probable that the committee VIII be
able to report that at least one-half
of the stock has been placed.
1t is desired to interest every one
in the city in the industrial develop
ment movement. A circular letter is
to be prepared and sent to every
citizen, stating specifically what it is
proposed to do, and giving a form of
stock subscription.
An interesting feature of the move
menf was ta1enhnna rnaccaoa From,
a lady expressing her desire to sub
scribe for one share for herself and one
for each of her two children, showing
how the interest is growing.

WERE ADDRESSED BY
REV. J. G. TURNER
Supremacy of the Soul Was His Theme
Sunday.

Rev. J. Clyde Turner, pastor of the
Tatnall Square Baptist church of Ma
con, who is conducting the series of
evangelistic meetings at the Furlow
Lawn Baptist church. addressed the
meeting for men at the Young Mems
Christian Association on Sunday after
noon, on the subject "The Supremacy
of the Soul"
Rev. Mr.. Turner is an evangelist, not
of the stereotyped style of emotional
ism, but of the direct, thoughtful,
scholarly but not scholastic manner
that goes directly to the germ of the
question and grips the hearts of men.
The address on this occasion was
heard most attentively by rather more
than the usual number of men at
tending these services.
Mrs. ]. w. Harris, Jr., added to the
service by her pleasing rendering of
"The Plains of Peace"

BUSINESS NORTH IN
UNSETTLED CONDITION
Legislation, Courts, and La
Dor the Cause.

President A. N. Walker, of the Amer
icus Lighting Company, is back from
two months business trip to the
North, during which he visited New
York, Philadelphia and other cities
several times on matters of business
and came into contact wrtn numerous
mon OF affairs.
Il found that business is not as
good as was expected for this sprtay,'
said Col. Walker yesterday. There
is an air of uncertainty hanging over
business in general, sort of wonder
ment as to what developments will
be in the near future in politics, in tie
courts, and in labor circles. It is. a2-
parently felt that disturbing influences
are at work, the effect of which can
not properly be appreciated until later
on The decisions of the Supreme
court in the Standard Oil and Tobac-
co cases are awaited with intense in
terest, as they may materially affect
the business situation. The trend of
wages is upwarJ, too. md the Hke;i-
hood of labor disturbances on a large
scale if there are not further quite lib
eral advances of wages, is another
unsettling element. The fact that in
the coming congressional elections the
tariff and other business features will
probably cut considerable figure also
acts as a deterrent to a greater activ-
ity in manufactures and trade. All in
all it looks like spring and summer
will be marked by only a moderate
volume of business, instead of the ex-
pansion that had been looked for after
the passage of the tariff bill. With
Roosevelt's return and the likelihood
of national politics being Immediately
cast on broad scale for the next two
years, it would seem that a policy of
conservatism, tinged with uncertainty,
may mark business for some time to
come.
81 found wherever I went" con-
tinued Col Walker, that there IS an
ever-increasing degree of interest in
the development of the South. Busi-
ness men everywhere North are will
ing to ask questions about the South
and seem eager to get all the inrorms-
ton they can about the outlook and
opportunities here. This IS a fine time
to advertise this section, to force the
general interest to the point where it
will result in investments. The feel
ing seems to be growing rapidly that
this section offers brilliant opportun-
ties for profitable investments"

Representative Mann to the chair and
taking the floor declared with much
zeal that the entire question of provid-
ing an automobile for the use of the
speaker was immaterial to him, and
that it had first been instituted by
the house.
He said that he did not care whether
the house approved or disapproved the
proposition. He asserted that it did
not originate in the house in the
first place, but had been provided for
by the senate at the last session of
congress. He criticized the insurgents
for having had the courage to join
force with the democrats
The insurgents are very much
wrought up over his remarks, and it is
now believed that they will make one
more attempt to oust him from the
speakershtp, as was contemplated a
few weeks ago. The insurgents were
seen congregating in groups on the
floor of the house this afternoon, con-
ferring as to the advisability of again
offering a resolution declaring the
speakership vacant The statement
was made that such a resolution would
be made before the close of the ses-
sion, and a number of insurgents who
voted against ousting Cannon said
this afternoon that they would vote
otherwise if the question came up
again.
The breach between the regulars
and insurgents is now believed to bc
strained.
