BOSTON BOYCOTT.
Called By Citisens' Committee
Prices Still Fall.

Boston, Jan. 26.-"Since you tell us that

to you that we will attempt to secure re-
lief by lessening the demand, and that we
shall Immediately make public our report
calling upon the citizens of Boston to alb
stain from the use OF meat for two weeks
This was the ultimatum given to the
wholesale producers late to-day after a
conference between them and a committee
appointed at a citizens mass meeting in
Faneuil Hall last Saturday night.
The effects oe the anti-meat crusade are
already being felt, half dozen labor unions
and many other organizations having
pledged themselves to abstain from eating
meat. Fish dealers are taking advantage
of the situation. More than million
pounds OF fish were landed at T Wharf to
day, with many more vessels waiting out
side to come UP.
Cleveland, Jan. Pa special committee
of the City Council began an investiga-
ton of the increased food prices to-day.
A grand jury investigation will begin to-
morrow. The evidence will be turned over
to the Legislature.
Another drop OF 10 to Is cents a hundred
pounds for livestock was quoted at the
local stock yard to-day. Pork Ioin fell off
a cent on the retail price. One firm of re-
tailers having a score of stores, has an
nounced that no reduction will be made in
the retail price in spite of the drop in the
wholesale prices. No change was noted
to-day in the produce or butter and egg
markets.
Baltimore, Jan. 26-Prices of some Of the
chief food products took a drop to-day.
Western beef, how~ver, was unaffected. In
the local wholesale market eggs declined
three cents a dozen, and butter three cents
a pound. Pork was reduced 30 cents hun
dred pounds yesterday. One of the effects
OF the meat boycott has been a heavy de-
mand for fish.

prices of beef in this section, but slight
drops have been recorded in veal and pork.
Eggs are selling at 40 cents a dozen.

FOUR MEMBERS TO BE
ELECTED SOON
Council to Fill Seats on
Board Education.

Much interest is felt among those
interested in the public school mat
ters, and that should include all par
ents of children as well as the teacn-
ing and directing corps, in the coming
election of four members of the. board
of education by the city council.
The six year terms of four mem
bers expire on April 1. 1t will pc
necessary to elect their successors at
one of the March meetings of the city
council. Those whose terms expire
are Messrs. w. P. Wallis, G. A Tur-
pin, j B. Hudson and j. e. Mathis.
1t is presumed, although it is not
definitely stated, that the names of all
of these members of the board will
be presented to the city council for
reelection. 1t is not known yet
whether there will be opposition can
didates named or not. If so, there
may be a spirited contest in the coun-
Gil
There are twelve members of the
board, exclusive of the mayor who is
an ex-officio members. Two vacant
seats, caused by the withdrawal Of
Messrs. Hooper and Brown, were fill
ed by council by the election recently
of Messrs. j. E. Hightower and J. z.
d. Shipp. If four new men were to
be named for the vacancies arising
April 1, one-half of the board would
be entirely new. But such condi-
ton as that is hardly likely to ex-
ist

BISHOP TO PREACH
HERE ON SUNDAY
Will Also Confirm Glass al
Calvary ChUaCh.

Ri. Rev. f. F. Reese, bishop of this
diocese, will remain in the city over
Sunday.
Sunday morning at II o'clock the
bishop will confirm a class at Calvary
church and will preach at that ser
vice.
During the remainder Of his stay
Bishop and Mrs. Reese will continue
as the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Dodson.
Bishop Reese has preached here on
one previous visit At that time he
made an exceedingly favorable i'm
preston on the large congregation
that heard him, including many not
members Of the Episcopal church.
1t is quite probable that Calvary
church will be well filled at the Sun
day morning service at which the
bishop officiated.

Number of Plantations Bad

the Blow.
Especial to The Times-Recorder)


Cordele, Ga, Jan. 28.-At Z o'clock
this morning a hurricane, one-quarter
Of mile wide, passed over the west
ern portion of Cordele.
Before reaching this city from the
southwest, the storm swept down On
the plantation OF Dr. Warren Will
liams, destroying several houses. At
tended by unusual roaring, the cy-
clone then leaped entirely over this
city and fell again on the plantation
OF l, M Powell, three miles north
east of the city, completely wreck
ing a dwelling hqSge and a hut of
the oyerseer.
Six tenant houses were destroyed.
The storm continued it's course,
wrecking three more tenant houses
on the plantation of Colonel o. T.
Cover and seriously injured several
negroes.
The cyclone reached it's severest
proportions on plantation of Colonel
NONSi5 NuS1 IL cut d SWdLQ nall q
mile wide, not leaving a tree or house
in its path.
Many persons along the path of the
storm received severe injuries. On
the farm of DR.. Williams a negro was
severely bruised by a piece of flying
timber, and his wife in cabin at the
time the storm struck it, was con
fined.
The storm picked the woman up,
with her bed and carried them some
distance, leaving her uninjured.
Two of the most peculiar features
of the storm happened on the plan
tation of I. M. Powell, where a house,
was blown several yards from It's
foundation and was badly demolish-
ed, thirteen occupants in house at the
time the storm struck it, escaping with
but few injuries.
The full extent of the damage of
the storm has not yet been ascer-
tanned.

TRAVEL THIS WAY
is NOW VERY HEAVY
AmGriCuS the Mecca to
Which Many Come.
Some Nights Accommo-
dations Are at a
Premium.

Travel to Americus has been excep-
tionally heavy this week, not as a re-
suit Of the Episcopal church conven-
ton, which brought probably a hun
dred persons to the city, but the reg
ular commercial travel that is always
in evidence at this time of the year
visitors from other points on social
calls, and prospectors looking about
for business openings or for lands
that look tempting as investments.
Tuesday night demonstrated how
great the travel this way is when a
round dozen travelling men found
themselves decidedly up against it
so far as securing accommodations are
concerned. Not a room was to be
had at the hotel. Standing room only
was the sign posted there, although
only two or three of the church con-
Vention delegates were accommodated.
1t was a genuine case of travel ex-
ceeding existing accommodations
Two travellers who came in one the
Seminole limited shortly after mid
night were pretty much disturbed
when they found no accommodations
to be had. Fortunately for them they
struck up an acquaintance with a par
ty rooming at the Y. NJ. C. A. He
thought that there might be an empty
room there, took them down, found
one, and made them comfortable for
the night.
Some other travellers, minus a sleep
ing place, were not so fortunate. They
wandered around for some time be-
fore they could find a boarding house
where lodging could be secured for the
night
All Of the delegates to the conyen-
ton, of course, were provided for in
private families. 1t was merely the
unexpected large number of ordinary
travellers that exceeded the accommo-
dations.
Wednesday and, Thursday night also
found accommodation leased to the
limit
Travel is expected to be very heavy
for the next sixty days at least. 1t is
not improbable that many nights dur
ing that time the Windsor will be
"chock-a-block" and that doubling up
or cots may have to be resorted to to
meet the pressing needs. The prosper
ity of this section may be responsible
for the deluge of travellers. 1t is to be
regretted that the Improvements that
are to give the Windsor so many
more desirable rooms are not com
pleted. The rooms will be apt to be
much needed for some time to come.
Every year sees a decided increase
of travel into Americus. Next winter
will probably see many times when
even the much greater accommoda-
tions of the hotel will be taxed to meet
the demand.

SCHOOL CHIL LDREN TO
PASS INSPECTION
Would Greatly Assist in the
School Work
Supt. Miller Presents
Matter to Board of
Education.

Supt. A. G. Miller is strongly in
favor of the Introduction of the sys-
tenn of medical inspection of school
children that has been adopted in Sa-
vannah and some other cities of this
section, and which bids fair to be gem
-erally adopted throughout the coun-
try during the next few years. BY
this system physical defects that in
terefere with the child's mental de-
velopment, or that are calculated TO
retard physical growth, are discov-
cred, the attention of parents called
to them, and steps taken that will in
ure to the great advantage of the
child. Superintendent Miller impressed
this strongly on the Board of Educa-
ton in his monthly report present
ed at the board meeting this week.
In his report, discussing this and
other school matters, Professor Miller
said:

II NOW WANTS AN
ANTI-NFAR BEER LAW
Anti-SalOOn League Starts
Fight 10 That End.
Issues an Address Civ
ing Its Views on the
Situation.
Especial to Times-Reco ,der.1


Atlanta, Ca, an. 28.-That. the Geor-
gia Anti-Saloon League intends TAX
ing hand in the near-beer legislation
at the coming legislature is clearly ev-
idenced by an address which was is
sued today by the headquarters com
mittee of that body. The League will
contend for a better enforcement OF
the prohibition law and that the COM
ing session of the law making body
will endeayor to perfect the act of
1907 as a prohibition measure. The
election of a legislature that will re-
lieve Georgia of ''the curse Of the near
beer craze" will be pushed.
The communication in part is as
follows:
1T will be remembered that it was
very freely predicted by the enemies
of prohibition that the passage Of such
a measure would result in paralyzing
business, and ultimately bankrupt the
state
Credits Everything to Prohibition.
Exactly the reverse proves to be
true. From every direction comes the
reports Of prosperity. Manufacturing
and farming industries were never so
promising and satisfactory. Mercantile
establishments, with ever increasing
demand for dry goods, clothing,
shoes, school books, groceries, are iv-
ing rebukes TO the pessimists of 1907.
The banking business every where is
declaring a constant increase of divi-
dends, many of them increasing their
capital stock as a result of accumuIat-
ing surplus.
The state treasurer, and all the city
treasures, so far as have been re-
ported, are in much healthier condi-
tion than for many years past. The
schools of the state have grown be-
yond all expectations. The teachers
salaries have been raised, seventeen
days added to the school term, and
almost every school in the state taxed
% its utmost capacity with many added
pupils during the last schoIastic. year.
The vast and uncounted waste oe
the liquor traffic has been checkeSSfr"o
the Iaborer is being emplo SO =
munerative wages and ing tne55 the
employer The 9isfSonst for labor IS
greater than q.n - the history of the
state.
Real estate values are vastly in
creased, tax returns transcend all for
mer records, and the exchange of re
atty holdings outmeasuring the metre
of the past.
May not this great era of prosper
ity and happiness in Georgia be large
ly attributed to, a cutting off of a
waste that has for a century been de-
pleting our natural resources? Over it
all a gracious providence smiles with
a loving approval.
Anti-Near- Beer Legislation.
"If all these benefits come to us out
of a so called imperfect enforcement
of law, what may be expected under a
more rigid enforcement?
''Now there are two important duties
we are confronted with, and we most
earnestly urge the aid and co-opera-
ton of all the good citizens of the
state. The better enforcement of the
law we have and,
Second; The election of legisla-
ture that will relieve Georgia Of the

bition measure.

"The liquor traffic is equipped with
every faculty of warfare, entrenched
as it is behind it's co-partnership with
the Federal government, and its ability
to unite the forces of the beer and
liquor interests in resisting the enact
ment of prohibition laws. 1t has mill
lions Of money at its command, and
is using it in attacking our laws, and
sneaking around through the counties
endeavoring to bring out candidates
and secure their election to the legis-
lature, expecting them to represent the
liquor power rather than the senti-
ment of the people, ,all of which they
will succeed in if the prohibitionists
are not actively on the lookout.
'Thfs state of affairs needs to be
carefully looked after. To do so sue
cesssfully will require mighty effort,
and more hearty cooperation upon
the part of our friends, hence an ap-
peal through this address to all the
prohibitionists in the state to come to
our assistance and help more vigor-
ously in securing a still better enforce
ment of the law we have, and the cleo
ton of a legislature this year com
mitted unequiyocally to this one
movement.
"Touching the matter of detail we
invite the correspondence Of our
friends.
1T is Of vital Importance that the
county and other local organizations be
revived and perfected at once.

pondence with our state secretary
