AMERICUS is WINNER IN
GAME AT TOWNSVILLE.
By Score 81 to II Prize
is Theirs.

Americus 81, Thomasville IT, Thus
reads the score of the latest venture
into the arena of basket ball on the
floor of the Thomasville Young Mems
Christian Association on Friday night
last. The wiregrass boys seem not
to have been in the contest with any
amount of ginger, for certainly the
local boys had little difficulty in
Wrestling the wreath of victory on
their own court.
Smith at center, who so noticeably
was outjumped by Lester for Thomas
vile in the game on the local court.
had little difficulty in getting the
ball into the hands of his team
mates in this game.
From that it was a case of "kean
away till either Taylor or Dunn
chose to try for goal, or perbans
Lewis or Welsh who were at the
same time guarding the ThomasyilIe
opponents.
Inc result of the game was a great
surprise to the ThomasvilIe suppor+-
ers, 1nasmuch as it is the first game
that bunch has lost in two years
though it must be said their sched-
ule has not been extensive.
Thus encouraged, there is but lit
ale doubt that the local boys viii
shortly be making the same fine rec
ord of the Champs in the baseball
world. And with the establishment
OF an association at Albany and the
completion and occupancy of the one
at Waycross this feature of athletic
sport should become very popular
within season or so.
Also with the advent of the A. I.
l. boys and the "Aggies" into the
game it is very probable that a local
league may be formed for another
season to try out for the local cham
pionship as well.

PROSPECT IS BRIGHT IN
THE REALM OF ELBERTA
Fine Peach Crop This Year Seems
Assured.

With 100000 bearing peach trees in
the Americus territory, orchard
owners here feel assured of a fine
crop this year, as conditions up to
this date are most favorable. The
recent cold is considered by expert
enced fruit growers to have been suf-
ficiently severe to hold back the
budding of the trees until well after
the Easter cold snap, after which
time killing frosts have hitherto been
unknown. The weather conditions
have been idea; for the making of a
bumper crop.

QUIET AGAIN IN CAIRO
UNDER AIM OF RIFLES.

Jail There.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


Cairo, ILL.,, February 19.-With
three companies of militia guarding
the court house and Jail under the
direction of Adjt Gen. Frank S. Dick
son, Cairo settled down last night &c
complete quiet after a strenuous
twenty-four hours. It is believed >that
the mob spirit is quelled.
There are many scattered groups
of men about the streets, but 70
crowd is allowed to congregate.
Threats were made against Sheriff
Nellis for the killing of Alex Halli-
day and wounding of four other mon
'by deputies in beating back the mob
that attacked the jail in an attempt
to lynch a negro purse-snatcher but
the presence of soldiers prevents any
demonstration.
John Pratt, the negro whom the
mob intended lynch, was sentenced
today to prison for not more than
fourteen years.
He will be taken to prison tomor-
row ofEng with twelve other con-
victs o a special train. Lincoln
Wilson, arrested as a suspected COM
panion of Pratt in the snatching of
purses, was released tonight. The
grand jury failed to find a true bill
against him.
Pratt's sentence was impSsed ten
after he entered ahe court
room and pleaded guilty to the in
dictment returned yesterday.
A searching grand jury investiga-
ton of the attack on the Jail was or
dered by Judge Butler Immediately
after the disposal of the cases against
the two negroes.

POLITICAL.

John A. Dix. the Democratic candi-

statement favoring his candidacy.
The Illinois Federation of Labor has
adopted resolutions looking to ref

litical party. to be composed exclusive
ly OF working classes, including farm
ers.
The Boston & Maine railroad Will

ment made by President Charles
S. Mellen in an address before
the Wonolncat club. The Boston &
Maine has been political issue In
New Hampshire and Massachusetts
for many years.
Control Of the next House OF Rep
resentatives hinges upon the result OF
the fall elections in thirteen districts,
and the outcome is likely to be 80
close in these that the official count
will be needed to decide. This pre-
diction is made by an eastern maya
zine as result OF its confidential
canvass of $1,000 of it's life subscribers
scattered in every section of the Unit
ed States. The present poll was COM
piled from the replies Of $4,000 that
answered and presents what the pub
fishers believe to be fairly accurate
portrayal of the sentiment in the
country at large. The result Of the
poll indicates that 160 congressional
districts are safely Republican; l6S
safely Democratic; % probably Repub-
lican; 81 probably Democratic. On the
remaining thirteen districts would
hinge control of the House. Colorado
is given three Democratic congress
men and Wyoming goes into the Re-
publican column.

ORC $50. Jevna 121.
A remarkable incident of the Ath-
letics-Cubs game occurred in Judge
Scanlan's court in Chicago. The
judge. having ascertained that the
members of his jury were more in
terested in the game than in the case
at bar, sought to right matters by
having the score by innings read to
them by bailiff. This worked well
until the news of the defeat of the
locals came in. Some of the jurors
looked so melancholy that the court
dismissed the panel for the day. ex-
planning that in the circumstances it
seemed impossible for the jury to
spare enough attention from the game
and its result to hear any more evil
dence.
