MAY OPEN STREET
ALONGSIDE SCHOOL
Would Save Children Rail-
road Crossing.

There is a prospect of a street beins
cut througl from Barlow street to
Elm avenue, alongside of the High
School building, that will save the
children the necessity of crossing the
Seaboard tracks at the very dangerous
intersection on College street.
As conditions now are, by far the
greater number Of the children in the
High School and the two grades Of the
primary school in the same building
either have to take this crossing or ge
a Ions distance out of their way. going
around by Taylor street to Elm ave-
nue..
Earl street is half way through the
block on which the High School build
ing stands. If it were extended in a
straight line it would pass directly
alongside of the school building, giving
direcJ assesses to it from Barlow stree
by opening communication from that
street to Elm avenue. Children could
tEun cross over the Barlow streat
bridge and find themselves right at
Earl street and within a few yards u
The school.
Mrs. Bagley, who owns the lot
stretching across the rear of tine lots
facing on Elm avenue, on one of whicf
the High School building stands, it is
understood is willing to give the city
sufficient ground for the extension ol
Earl street to the private alley along
side Of the Larkin property, wMcf
a@ioins the High School building.
If this alley could be made public
and increased in width by ten feo
Earl street would then be ex. ended all
the way through from Barlow to Elm
avenue ana the children would be
entirely saved either the danger ri
the College street crossing or the
circuitous route to school.
1t is understood tha. the matter will
be taken up with the owners of the
Larllin property witt, view to havina
the width of the alley referred to in
creased and then made into public
highway
The opening of Earl street would
improve the value of all Of The prop

BUCHANAN is GOING TO
UMPIRE TWO GAMES
Atlanta Man Selected As
Ills Umps.

Americus fans are interested in the
announcement made yesterday that
Buchanan, of Atlanta, had been Sc
lected as His Umps" in the two
games to be played on Monday, July
4th, the morning game in Americus
and the afternoon swatfest on the AL
bany diamond at o'clock.
"Umps' Buchanan is an old league
player, and his services as umpire
will be satisfactory, at least to the
local bunch.
He played in Americus last season
with the Atlanta Athletics, and is an
1S-karat artist in the box or else
where on the diamond. He knows ball
and will enforce the rules--if possi-
BILE.
Manager McGregor and Messrs. H.
E. Allen, q. S. Childers and G. S.
Gardner, of the 7 local aggregation,
With Pitcher Doc" Wilson, went 70
Albany yesterday to see Columbia,
Ala, play there. The details for
Mondays series will be finally agreed
upon and closed up in writing.
Whether or not that 5000 forfeit
agreed upon by both sides will be put
up remains to be seen. Mr.. G. S.
Gardner will represent Americus as
member of the board of arbitrators
that will be selected.
Wilson, it is understood, will pitch
the game here in the morning, while
Robinson will hurl the horsehide in
the afternoon. Vibert, who has re-
Gently been secured by the Champs,
will probably hold down third sack.
The other position will be filled as
usual.
The game here is scheduled to be-
gin at 10 o'clock Monday morning.

ITO GO BEFORE THE
BOARD ON TUESDAY
Appropriation Needed for
Entertainment.

The County Commissioners will
hold their regular monthly meetina
on Tuesday morning, instead of Mon
day, owing to the latter being a holi-
day.
One of the matters that will come
before the Commissioners at this

ton of $50 toward the entertainments

tion, holding its annual convention in
this city on July u and Is.
There viii be Representatives of
probably one hundred of the leading
weekly papers of Georgia, and prob
ably of some South Carolina papers
as well, at this meeting. 1t is essent-
ial that they should be properly en-
tertained and the reputation of Ame~-
ious and Sumter county for hospitaH >
thoroughly sustained.
One of the principal features Of
their visit here will be the display %
them of the agricultural wealth Of
Sumter county and Of the good roads
and probable rapid development of the
county. Especial stress is to be laid
on the county and its progress and
the opportunities that are offered here
/ for diversified and profitable agricul-
ture.
The following committee has been
appointed to appear before the County
Commissioners and present the petit
ton for the appropriation referred to:
Messrs. Charles L. AnsIey, Crawford
Wheatley John w. Shiver, Thomas
Harold, ARTHUR Rylander, Lee Allen
and L. A. Morgan.
The city has appropriated $50 and
public opinion viii undoubtedly
sustain the County Commissioners in
a similar appropriation.

EIGHT INCHES OF RAIN
FELL IN AMERICUS
Record For June Heaviest
Ever Known.

Nearly eight inches of rain, or to be
exact, seven and seventy-six one
hundredths, fell here during the month
Of June, the heaviest precipitation
ever known for summer month. The
exact figures were given out yester-
day by Mr. Frank P. Harold, in
charge of the local weather bureau,
and are extremely accurate. Two or
three inches would have been amply
sufficient to keep the crops growing,
and the ADDITIONAL five inches only
serve to render the situation perilous
from a crop standpoint.

Mr.. Thomas Gamble, Jr,
Americus, Ga
Dear Mr.. Gamble:
My attention has just been called
to an interview with me concerning
the employment of high school teach
ers which was published in your
paper a few days ago, and which, /
fear, will be misunderstood. by the
good people of Americus without an
explanation. ! certainly have no de-
sire to obtrude my views upon any
one, and | had no idea that the short
talk with you on the streets of Sa-
Vannab a few days ago would be eX-
tended into an interview of suen
length and published. You will recall
that what | said was brought about by
a question by you upon the general
policy of having some of the teachers
in the high school women, and that /
thought that it is usually best to have
some women in high school faculty.
You afterwards told me of the con-
ditions in Americus, and you will re-
call that l suggested that it would
doubtless be best to accept the action
of the board, as they. probably had
good reasons for their action.
The interview which you have made
out of our brief conversation, | fear,
puts me in the position of taking a
hand in the local school affairs of
Americus, and in this way does me an
injustice, for l certainly believe in
letting other peoples business alone.
| am not familiar with the conditions
in Americus, and | do not wish to ap-
pear to criticise any action of her
school board, which, / feel sure is
amply able to attend to it's own school
affairs.
Will you do me the kindness to pub
lish this letter in your next issue in
order that l may be more fully under
stood? Very truly yours,
OTIS ASHMORE.
(The Recorder was careful to state
in the article in question that Supt.
Ashmore spoke without any regard 20
the local situation, and from a general
standpoint. No one for an instant
would suppose that he would criticise
the action of the local school author
tiles. The conversation with Mr.. Ash
more, as reported in the Recorder, was
simply to bring out the views of a
leading educator OF, the .state. They
would be applicable anywhere 1t IS
quite probable if the views of thess-Jp-
erintendents of the state generally
were secured that they would be found
to mainly harmonic with those ex-
pressed by Supt. Ashmore However,
the question is now settled for the en-
suing year. All citizens anxious for
the welfare of the public school sys-
tenn should certainly cooperate with
the school authorities in making the
system adopted by them efficient and
satisfactory. If time develops the need
of change, or public sentiment de-
mands it year hence, no one doubts
that the Board of Education will act
accordingly.

WATSON NOT TO MIX
IN TIE STATE FIGHT
But lie is Itching to Get
In, just the Same.

Atlanta. Ga, July 1.-Speculation
has been rife as to what position Hol.
Tios e. Watson viii take in the pres
ent gubernatorial campaign. Mr.. Wal-
son states his position in the editor
ial columns of The Jeffersonian whicll
has Just been received from the press.
The editorial in question bears the
caption The Georgia Situation
THROWS Another Fit" He says in
part:
AS for me, | am in no hurry, Must
wait, and see what will be the issues.
Lots and cords of folks think [ oppos-
ed Hoke in 1908 because of the Glover
case. Not at all. The late primary
which we fought for and got; and the
county unit plan, which We defended,
and kept, were controlling matters
with me. Hardwick, himself, proved,
without intending to do so that | new
er stoop to spite work
"If there should arise any equally
important principles, deeply affecting
the interests of the people, it would
determine me. in this campaign, just
as the disfranchisement of the negeo
carried me to Hoke in 1906, and tie
two matters already mentioned, away
from him, two years later.
Consequently, we are inclined 10
concentrate our fire upon naiOnal
matters, upon Doserters and Do-noth-
ings, rather than wade into the guh-
ernatOrial contests"

four very good methods of banishing that terrible
spectre, insomnia. 4
They have almost always helped me. They may
help you and they may not, but they can't hurt you.
The first thing I do when ! find I'm getting into
that restless. tossy state, Is to get up and eat some
thing Often times we are hungry even when we
don't realize 1t.
there is. The phi ysiology of this is that IL you eat
something and your stomach gets to working, that
draws the blood away from your head and your ex-
element subsidies.
Eat something very digestible, Of course. Don't
try cheese and doughnuts or mince pie and then
