THE BALLOT ON TRAIN
SHOW DRIFI I OF VOTE
Brown Has 55 and Smith
lF Votes.

Fifty-five for Brown and fifteen for
Smith was the result of ballot taken
aboard Seaboard passenger train No.
73, reaching Americus early yester-
day morning, and the figures indicate
sentiment very largely in the terri
tory where these balloters reside-tLe
wide scope of ITO miles between Cor
dele and Savannah. Among those
whose political views were thus as
certained were farmers and merchants
of Milan, Rochelle, Helena and q
dozen other towns along the Seaboard
and reflects sentiment very generally.
That entire section of 200 miles
Americus to Savannah, is strong for
Georgia's able governor, as indicat-
ed by the vote of So to Is in his
favor as thus expressed. A Smith
man took the ballot, and another re-
marhable fact is that he hung on to
the job to the end, even with such
odds against him.

NO MOTION FOR TRIAL
ARE MADE IN COURT
Every Verdict is Rendered
Will Stick.

Every verdict rendered during the
auJonined sessiC of the Ci<y Court of
anierlCus, ending a few days ago, is
going to stick, it would seem, as mo-
lion for new triai was not made in
amy one of the forty or fifty cases dis
posed c. last week. This is a rather
femarkab.e condition and one that
has never existed heretofore. Judge
Crisp stated yesterday that not one
motion for new trial had been made
before him, rather to his surprise, as
it is often the case that in misde-
meanor trials where conviction fol-
lows and changing sentences are inn
posed. the stupid black brother seeko
a new trial for delay, if for no other
purpose. Many convictions followed
at the session last week, and the un-
washed brother who shot crap or har-
pooned the family rooster is already
drilling with the Christian Regulars
out upon the highways of Sumter coun-
ty and probably for the first time doing
a bit of honest work.

SECOND BALE OF CROP
COMES TO AMFRICUS.
AmeriCuS Has Another One
Already.

Americus received yesterday the
second bale of new cotton marketed
here, and like that received last week
from the same source, classed we'll and
brought an excellent price. 1t was a
Lee county bale, and was shipped to
Harold Bros, who in turn sold it 10
a Columbus firm, anw thus helped that
market to it's second bale Thus far
but one bale of Sumter county cotton
has been marketed, owing to the unus-
ual lateness of the crop this season,
although in many fields the open bolis
are numerous and not few farmers
here could pick and market a new
bale if they but cared to go to the
trouble and extra cost of getting it
out now. Several bales are expected
here this week, however, although the
August movement will be unusually
light.

ROBERT I. BIVlNS DEAD

Aged Resident of County
Passes Away.

DR.. Robert T. Bivins died yester-
day morning at his home in Schley,
the end following an illness of some
length, though age as we'll, had added
its weight and thus rendered recov-
cry the more doubtful. Dr.. Bivins
was seventy years old, and one of the
prominent residents of l9s section

ton of his long and sseful career. He
was practioing physician and as
such was widely known throughout
this section. AS a genial gentleman
he was esteemed among all. He is sur
vived by his wife and several sons
and daughters, and besides has a wide
family connection in Schley and Sum
ter, with several near relatives in
Americus, where he was so well
known. The funeral will probably be

IS STILL THE M0NACH
OF ROADS IN STATE
Mule has the Lead Over
the Auto.

Sumber's citizens who still chos:
the mule to the auto as a mode OF
travel are interested in the fact that
after September 1st-just two weeks
IN front-any person driving a ski.-
tish horse in Georgia may stop an
automobile by merely holding up his
hand in warning to the automobile
driver.
Then, if king horse, or even ode ole
mule, still shows fright at tLe sound
of the motor after the machine has
come to a standstill the autoist must
shut off the engine until the animal
power vehicle has passed. These facts
came to light in a scrutiny of the au-
t1mJbile regulation dill passed by the
legislature before it adjourned few
days ago.
Upon approaching vehicle drawn
by draft animals the autoist must
toot his horn or ring a bell or gong.
The law is dark upon the subject O.
what TO do if the animal thinks the
t-oting is too loud.
These regulations apply to riding as
well as driving animals and even the
humble pedestrian is not neglected.
No automobile shall approach hitn
without giving the sprightly toot or
joyous ring. The pedestrian, howeveg.
is not given the privilege of hiolding
up his hand to stop the mogul of the
roadway.
The new regulations also contain
provisions designed to protect auto
mobilists and their property.

PERRYMAN'S GOAT IS
SWIPEO BY CHAMPS
Lanky WiregrdsS TwirIer
Bdtted Over the Lot.

The Champs got Perryman' 5 goat!
That's the story in a nutshell of the
first game of the Thomasyille series
as played at Dudley Field yesterday
afternoon. The much-touted Thomas
vile ball tossers, who have been belch-
ing hot air in such bundles down IN
Thomasville that a tropical storm
had been threatening. ate gently-yery
gently-out of the hand of Wolf for
nine innings until the score stood Z
to O.
The lanky twirler from the wire
grass, who was batted all over the
lot here once before by the Champs
and became suddenly i'll in order t.
retire from the game, got another dose
yesterday afternoon. The only differ
ence was that he had the nerve yes
terday to face the music till the enl
OF the game. But that eighth inning
made him feel like dyspeptic on a
tug boat off Cape Hatteras.
The wiregrass tossers came here
bubbling over with confidence, after
having drubbed the Albany bunch tw
times out of three, but that smile came
off very easily when the Clamps
pounced on them for shut-out first
time up. Perryman was easy pick
lngs for the locals, while Wolf was
inVincible at all times. Not "a single
nhomasville player got to the third
sack. The Champs soaked tie bail
hot and heavy, while the visitors
could not bunch hits and were fur
6her handicapped by ragged fielding
at times, though at other times it was
sensational. The locals made four
tallies in the fourth inning with two
down and circled the bags three times
in the eighth.
Despite the fact that the visitors
were shut out, the game was anytEine.
but a poorly played one. Today
Edwards, who is a recent acquisition
to the Thomasyille team, will be on
the firing line. He will likely be o.
posed by Wilson. The game will be
an excellent one.

Remertuk reached the rock and
