AMERICUS is STUCK IN
SECOND WITH VISITORS
Fans Sore on Same and
Decisions.

In a ragged game and one unsat-
isfactory in many respects Americus
lost the second bout to AbbeviIle yes
terday by a to 1 score. AS in the
first game with the visitors, several
of the best men OF the local team,
including Perryman and Dunn, are
out of the city, thus weakening their
strength. The locals made their run
in the first inning and scored two
others in the fifth, but these were
lost by the umpires decision to the
effect that Peddy in chasing from sec
ond to third, was struck by the ball.
Opinions varied widely on this point,
but the umpire, Mr.. George Riley,
ruled as he saw it, and his opinion
was sustained by several interested
onlookers. The box work on both
sides was fairly good, but the game
throughout was decidedly uninterest-
ing from an artistic standpoint The
ill-luck attending them cast damper
upon the locals and little interest was
taken in the remainder of the game.

nessmen are included in its long

power to make Sumter county known
widely through it's good roads and
good lands. there is no doubt that
there will be hearty response here.
The plan contemplates the offering
of large prizes for the cars making
the best records in different classes,
for the counties of different sections
having the best roads, etc. 1t is not
improbable that the prizes will -,
grega.e between $500 and $4,000.
The four largest cities along will prob
ably put up $4,000, the smaller cities
will help to increase the purse by
contributions of $1OO to $3.50, and the
leading manufacturers of autos may
also assist in promoting the great
Georgia run of 1910.
M Weldon is touring all the coun-
ties that will probably be traversed
in tie run. He will repeat the triI

nshusiasts will be at work. The

GREAT REVIVAL WILL
BEGIN NEXT WEEK.
DR.. MunhaII Starts Ser
vices Wednesday.
~ Ill Be Held in the Oil
yer Warehouse--Runs
Three Weeks.

The final arrangements have been
made by the Christian Business Gospel
League with DIR. L. w ~Munhall, of
Philadelphia, for a great evangelistic
campaign to begin on Wednesday
next, the 18th, and running through
perhaps three weeks
DR.. Munhall is known throughout
the North and West as one of the lead
ing divines of the country. He has
spent many years of the best of MS
life in evangelistic work and has been
rewarded with unusual success. He
is Of national reputation, together with
Moody, .Torrey, Billy Sunday, Gypsy
Smith and others.
The Oliver warehouse has been
turned over to the use of this cam
paign and is being converted INTO a
monster tabernacle, with a temporary
roof over the area way in the center
and when completed will accommodate
perhaps twenty-five hundred people.
Having large wagon-width doors and
being in the heart of the city, it is
admirably suited for this purpose.
DR.. Munhall will be ass 'sted by the
Rev. Thomas w Davis, also of Phil
adelphia, who will direct the large
chorus choir and lead the singing.
DR.. Munhall has Just closed a Series
of such meetings at Thomasville, Ga
which were attended by from fifteen
hundred to twenty-five hundred per-
sons daily, and the community was
stirred as never before. Some two
hundred professed CONVERSION and
many of these Immediately gave their
names into the church. With approx
imately many hundreds of unchurched
people in Americus this effort should
be rewarded with abundant success.

Gracefully.
While Her Sisters of
the Navy Thundered
Their Salute.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

New York, May 12.-Flying the
white starred emblem of the United
States navy at her stem, the stars and
stripes at her stern and a string of
gay signal pennants along the five
hundred and twenty feet of her deck
line, the battleship Florida, tie b'g-
gest of all American dreadnaughts,
was successfully launched at the
Brooklyn navy yard today, in the
presence of Vice-President Sherman,
the secretary of the navy, naval at
taches of several powers and an inn
mense crowd of fifty thousand inter
ested persons, whom lowering skies
and rain failed to keep away. The
big battlesLip glided down the ways
to the inspiring strains of "The Star
Spanglad Banner" while crowds
cheered and hundreds of river craft
footed a noisy welcome Her lesser
sisters, the Rhode Island, Nebraska,
Connecticut, Yankton and Hancock, all
dipped their colors and fired salutb
of twenty-one guns as the big ship
reached the water.
Pending the arrival of the distin-
guished guests of the occasion, work
men had wedged UP the big battleship
and removed the side supports and
cribbing amidships, and as soon as
the tide was favorable, the word was
given to remove the one hundred and
twenty keel blocks which held the big
vessel in position. Naval Constructor
Baster, under whose supervision the
big fighting machine has been built,
then took up his position at the
stern and the christening party, head
ed by Miss Elizabeth Fleming, daugl,-
ter of Ex-Governor Fleming of Florida
and sponsor for the giant battleship,
and comprising Governor Gilchrist
and Senators Taliaferro and Fletcher
of Florida assembled near the bow
of the vessel, upon which as the
ship glided gracefully into the water
Miss Fleming broke quart bottle of
champagne, at the same time saying:
Il christen thee Florida"

MORE NECKS TO CRACK
FOR CRIME OF MURDER,
SIdyerS of MOtOrman Re-
h0arSe Killing.

Atlanta, Ca, May 12-If justice
takes the course now mapped out,
and if in the meantime the detectives
of Atlanta cam gather enough evil
dence to warrant conviction for mur-
der, the negroes implicated in the
trolley car hold-up and robbery two
weeks ago last Saturday night will
dangle from the gallows in about thir-
ty days.
Two Of them, Ed Weaver and Cha
lie Walker, have already confessed
and there is every reason to believe
they will eventually implicate Emmett
Walker, a brother of Charlie.
Yesterday, the first named two who
hae been in custody for several days,
were escorted to the scene of the
Hills car line and compelled by the
tragedy at the terminus of the Druid
detectives to re-enact their method of
killing Motorman S. 7. Brown and al
most fatally wounding Conductor Wa
Ter Bryson.
fhey reheasred it all from start to
finish
Among those present was William
Schley Howard, solicitor general OF
Nthe Stone Mountain circuit
He states that as soon as the de-
tectiyes have finished getting evidence
special session of court will be
called, and the negroes will be given
a speedy trial. The law allows a
condemned man 20 days. If the ne
groes are sentenced it is safe to pre-
dict they will not get much, if any
more than this term of grace.

LIBRARY THE ISSUE
AGAIN IN COUNCIL.
Mayor and Aid. Allen Lock
Horns Again.

The Carnegie Library i& Ahe hands
of council again It is in the alder
manic limelight, as it We're. and will
occupy the center of the stage at the
meeting next Tuesday a week, and
perhaps, for council sometimes con-
t:nues its discussion of real live
topic somewhat indefinitely, for one
or two meetings thereafter.
This time the storm centre Of de-
bate is as to whether council Shall
elect two members of the Board of
Directors Of the library, to succeed
Messrs. Lee Allen and ]. E. Mathis,
who we're elected by the previous
council for two years. Their terms
have expired, they~are now officially
out Of library job, and it is up to the
mayor and aldermen to chose their
successors.
Mayor FeIder's Position.
But council is divided on the ques-
ton as to whether the city has got
anything to do with their successors
or not. Mayor Fielder insists that the
Carnegie Library is not a city instl-
tuition, that the city government does
not own it, does not operate it, and
must not elect any of the directors
OF get tangled up with it's manage
ment. All the city is to do, he holds,
;s to donate to it such sum as it can
afford, just as it would to the hospi-
tai OF any other institution for the
public good
Alderman Allen, who leads the oppo-
sitlon on the question, insists that
the library is a city institution, that
under the contract with Mr., Carnegie
the title is vested in the city, that
the city agreed to manage and sustain
it, and that there is a solemn obliga-
tion resting on council to elect some
of the directors, if not all of them.
Tho question arose at the last
meeting of the board. 1t closed when
TIE question was raised as to whether
the title was vested in the city or
not. Alderman Allen and the Com
nlttee on Buildings will look into the
matter, present the contracts, deeds,
etc, at the next meeting. Then the
whole question will be threshed out
again.
Needs More Assistance.
Mayor Fielder is willing for the city
to continue assisting the library, as
i" 5 now doing, but he objects tc
having the full responsibility for it
assumed by the municipality. He in
sists that the promoters of the libra,
~ movement are obligated by their
promises to collect the difference be-
tween the city donation and the total
expenditures agreed on in the con-
tract with Mr.. Carnegie.
The library unQuestionabIy needs a
more liberal support than it has been
receiving. If the city would increase
its appropriation to $100 a month the
directors and other friends of the Ii
brary might arrange for contributions
to meet the deficiency
