WANTS A CHECK KEPT
ON CENSUS C0UNl
Pres. Shiver Tells What
Other Cities Are Doing.

President John w. Shiver, of the
Board of Trade, spent yesterday in
Columbus, looking after the hosiery
mill project that had been brought tc
the attention of the Board of Trade
at its last meeting.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.: Shiver had
long conference with the parties in
ierested in the promotion of the mill
Early in the afternoon President
Shiver called up the Times-Recorder
office and stated that he had found
that in a number of the most enter
prising Georgia cities arrangements
had been made by the business or
CARNATIONS to have a representative
accompany every one of the census
enumerators to keep tab on the work
and see to it that the enumeration
was made thoroughly complete in
every respect. Where this is not pos
sible a separate census will be made
at this time.
Mr.. SILVER insisted that Americus
should not be behind it's sister cities
and that to insure accuracy and a
complete count it would be well for
the Americus Board of Trade to take
steps olong the same line.
Our census last year showed near
ly 1850 people said Mr.. Shiver,
"and if the census is taken accurately
and fully we will have approaching
10000 people in the city limits. We
must see to it that we are not
shut out by poor count and other
cities permitted to make a better
showing than Americus does. All we
want is to see that the count of noses
is correct. The rest of the informal
ton don't interest the business men
but a complete count of the popula-
tion does"
The matter was at once placed be-
fore some of the directors of the
Board of Trade by the secretary and
it is probable that some acton will
be taken along this line.

WILL BAPTIZE NEW MEMBERS
AT FURLOW LAWN CHURCH
On Sunday Night Next-Meetings To
Close To-day.

Rev. J, Clyde Turner, of Macon, will
preach It's last sermons today in the
revival meetings which have been held
at Furlow Lawn Baptist church for
the past two weeks. Mr.. Turner is a
most forceful and entertaining speaker,
an earnest and consecrated man, and
his faithful work in this meeting has
given him warm place in the hearts
of the people of Americus. He will
preach at 4 and 1880 p. m. today and
will then return to his own work in
Macon. The largest congregations Of
the meeting will doubtless attend
these services. A goodly number have
been received into the fellowship o.
the church, and these will be bap-
tized on Sunday next, when this most
profitable meetings of days will close.

THE STORES TO CLOSE
TODAY AT 6 O'CLOCK
Early Closing is Inaugural.
ed Then.

AT the sixth stroke of the clock in
the temple tower this afternoon the
stores and business houses generally
will close their doors for the day,
thus inaugurating the early closing
movement for the summer months
Nearly all of the business houses
here, with possibly one or two ex-
cept;ons, have signed the agreement
to close at 6 o'clock every day, Sat
urdays and railway paydays except
ed, and will live up to it promptly.
Customers understand the situation
very well, and should be considerate
enough to complete their purchases
before the closing hour, or else do
without the article they could have
bought beforehand. Start off the
movement promptly upon the stroke
of six, and thus give the merchants
and clerks the hour of relaxation de-
sired.

JURISTS AND LAWYERS WILL
LEND A HELPING HAND
To Assist the Ball Players in Building
New Park

10 ASSIST the BAN Players in Building
New Park
If the Americus ball team calls for
volunteers today and tomorrow in
building grandstand and fence about
the new park, the courthouse contin-
gent will rise up as one man in re-
sponse. Nowhere in Americus does
enthusiasm bubble to greater extent
than within the walls of the temple
Every official there; every lawyer;
every employe, is fan, heart and
soul, and every man stands ready to
lend dollars or muscle to the ball
team. The boys need help; lots of
help, in order to put the grounds IN
shape for playing, and the call for
volunteers may come unexpectedly
soon. And in response thereto the
judicial ermine will close their depart
ments and lawyers their copies of
Blackstone, and in solid phalanx the
entire force will march to the aid of
McGregor and the men behind the
bat.

WORKING FOR MEMBERS
FOR BOARD OF TRADE
Several Additions Since
Meeting on Tuesday.

The membership committee of the
Board of Trade expects to put on a
vigorous campaign for new members
at once. This committee is composed
of Messrs. G. Nj Williams, G. S.
Gardner, j. Harris, H. P. Everett.
Already some of the members have
been individually at work and several
additional members have been Sc
cured since the meeting on Tuesday
n ght. There is apparently no reason
why the membership should not be
increased to two hundred. With the
membership increased to that num-
Der the Board of Trade will be in
position to give Americus the most
extensive advert sing the city has had
through the medium of industrial and
agricultural journals, and other me-
diums, and begin a campaign of cor
respondence with all parts of the
country looking to t9e location Of
farmers and industries in Sumter
county and Americus.
Outside of the membership commit
lee other members of the Board OF
Trade are showing a decided interest
in securing new members. If the
membership grows to the point ex-
pected this can be made the most
successful year in tangible results
that the organization has ever known
and the next annual report made one
that will attract attention throughout
The state as an evidence Of progress
on the part Of the city.

INSANE NEGRO RUNS
AMUCK AT MARIE EITA.
Cuts Sheriff and Police
man There.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Marietta, Ga, April 14.-Charlie
Lloyd, desperate insane negro, in
resisting arrest in Marietta this
morning at $50 o'clock, cut Sheriff
Mckinney, of Cobb county, in the arm
and shoulder with a knife and also
stabbed Policeman Osborne, cutting
his coat all to pieces.
Sheriff Mckinney shot twice before
the negro ran and as he turned the
corner Chief Grogan, of the Marietta
police force, came up and shot him
twice, injuring him seriously. The
negro is now in Jail and his condition
is considered critical. Sheriff Me-
Kinney is painfully, but not danger
ously cut. Mr.. Osborne is not Sc
riously injured.

READY TO ADVERTISE
FOR A CHARTER.
Outlook 6right For Indus
trial Company.
Four Committees Are to
Make Thorough Can
vass of the City.

Highly gratifying is the outlook for
the Americus Industrial Development
Company Everything points to its
being pronounced success.
AS an evidence of the popularity
of the movement, and the general IA
yor with which it is viewed, the state
ment can be made that a committee
of two that yesterday afternoon spent
half hour or so in a hurried trip
along two blocks, visited ten persons
and secured subscriptions from nine,
the tenth not declining, but wishing
to consider it further.
Actually only two hours time has
been given to a canvass, during which
less than three blocks of the bust
ness district have been covered, with
a number of persons not seen, and
the total subscriptions already nearly
reaching $4,000.
With any vigorous pushing of the
subscription campaign it is evident
that there will be no trouble in plac-
ing the $4,000 of stock.
At the meeting last night every
body was delighted with the outlook.
1t was decided to appoint four COM
mittees of three each, divide the bus
mess section of the city in to four
parts, and give to each committee the
working of a district.
The names of those not seen in each
district are to be kept and subsequent
calls made until everybody has been
called upon.
A circular letter was also adopt
ed, a copy of which will be sent tc
every citizen, with a return post card,
soliciting their hearty cooperation and
assistance in the great movement for
the starting )f small factories in
Americus.
At the meeting last night the form
of charter was read and adopted. The
names of twenty of the stockholders
will be selected to publish as incor-
porators. The advertising for the
charter will begin on next Tuesday.
The purpose of the company is set
forth in the charter as follows:
The particular business they pro-
pose to carry on is that of an I'M
proyement and development company
to promote the growth and building
up of the City of Americus and Sumter
county, to foster manufacturing en-
terprises and mercantile and trading
establishments, and to promote or
establish all enterprises of every sort
and description that will tend to build
up the city.

for Also Around Lee
and Lamar Streets.

On top of the news that Mr.. C. u
Ansley will reconstruct, practically
rebuild, the structure at the corner
OF jackson and Forsyth streets, comes
the information that Messrs. Lee AL
len and c. C. Hawkins will probably
erect three business buildings on
the lot recently purchased by then
on Jackson street, adjoning the laun.
dry.
This lot has a 75-foot frontage and
a fine depth, 1t is regarded as an
admirable location for business and
office buildings, the travel along
jackson street at this point increas-
ing all the time, it being probably the
main highway of the city at this
time
Architect Lockwood, of Columbus,
spent day this week in consultation
with Messrs. Allen and Hawkins. The
business situation here was carefully
studied and the needs of prospective
tenants thoroughly considered. On
the basis of the information obtain
ed on this trip the architect will pre-
pare rough plans for several kinds of
buildings. These will be gone over
by the prospective builders, and after
the needs of probable occupants have
been gone into further an order VIII
probably be given to the architect 20
proceed with the plans for the three
buildings. or rather for one building
that will be diveded into three by
fire walls.
Mr.. Lee Allen, who has the matter
n charge, has several tenants in
prospect and expects to have a de-
mand from others for accommoda.
tions before the plans are finally de-
cided upon. The building will have
fine pressed brick front, with stone
trimmings, and VIII be a decided af-
dition to the business section of the
city. 1t is probable that suits of
offices especially designed for doctors
dentists and lawyers will be one cf
the features of the structures, al
though this and other matters are
still in a tentative shape.
The opening of the postoffice in
the near future is also expected to
lead to the removal of some of the
wooden structures near it and the
erection of modern and thoroughly up
to-date buildings. It is a safe asser-
tiOn that within two or three years
there will be decided change in the
appearance of the section about La
mar and Lee streets and that Jack
son street will also see considerable
improvements. The remodeling and
renovation of the Windsor hotel and
the erection of the new government
building have undoubtedly served to
give a great stimulus to property
interests in their vicinity Values of
lots are said to have stiffened very
much in the past three or four
months in that territory and the
prospective improvements will have a
tendency to send values up higher.

AMERICANS EASILY DUPED
Prominent Missionaries Says Ameri-
cans Are Easy Prey for Smooth
Talking Foreigners

Why is it that swindlers from the
Orient find Americans such easy
nrev? Is there kind of glamour in
their strange garb and tongue? What
ever the reason the fact remains. In
Quiries have recently come to our u
s. Consul at Trebizond, Hon. Milo A.
Jewett. also to DR.. w. w. Peet. an
American Board missionary at Con-
stantinOple. concerning certain Mar
Se"eins. and other HISTORIANS who are
collecting funds here and in Canada,
oetensibly for church buildings,
schools and Orphanages in Turkey.
The head of the Arch bishop of Can
erbury's mission in Van. Rev. w. A.
Wigram. was authorized to make in
vestigations and he reports that the
money given has never been spent on
ANYTHING except the collectors them
selves. He saws: "A man in utter
poverty knows that bv going to Amer
lea and pitching yarn that he
would not expect to be taken seri-
o,islv in his own land he can collect
$4,000, which is a fortune here and
live we'll meantime. Imprisonment
is no detriment to these men, seeing
that the prisons of any civilized land
give board and lodging far superior
to any that they can get at home.
COnfis"ation of letters and money If
possible. and deportation of the bear
ers as undesirable eliens' is prefer
able It II. IS possible bv American, as
Il Is by English law. What is needed
for the abating of custom that is at
once scandal and nuisance is that
the charitable should be more care
full in their giving. While their care
lessness makes a low form of swind-
ling easy and profitable poor men will
swindle. do not defend Mar Sergius
nor his collectors. but I do not think
the guilt entirely on their side.
Mr.. Wigram speaks strongly
against 'the folly of those in every
country who have apparently more
charity than brains" and advises peo-
Dle who really wish to helm Turkey
in this hour of need to give their
contributions "for any purpose they
wish. to some one of the missions at
work in the land. and they will have
some security that the money will
be expended for the purpose for which
it is given" 1t should also be remem-
.bered that not an orphanage exists in
Turkey except those established and
conducted bv missionaries. The pat
riarch of the HISTORIAN church has
made efforts to stop the plumber. He
has sent letters to the government of
India, authorizing the prosecution of
any who collect such funds. and
would no doubt do the same for the
u. S. government if requested.

MACKAY PEOPLE MARRY
We're Captured by Friends and Es'
cOrted Into Town in Highly
Decorated StagecOach

Last Thursday night at the par
sonage of the Phillips Congregational
church in Salt Lake City, occurred
the marriage of Miss Fannie Mulhall,
a daughter of a prominent mining
man of Salt Lake City, to Mr.. Ralph
r. Osborn, general manager OF the
Empire Copper company of this city,
the Rev. P. A. Simpkin, officiating.
The happy couple arrived in Mackay
on Mondays train, that is, they ar
rived within a few miles of Mackay,
getting off at the Brown switch,
where they were met by friend with
rig and driven on into the city
and were just in readiness to start for
their new home on Empire hill when
few friends found them and the
groom was escorted to the city in a
stage coach on which dangled all the
empty cans available, and he was
given a reception that would make
any benedict feel that he had many
friends. The bride and groom are
both well known to Mackay and Lost
river people and are receiving the
congratulations of their many friends.
