TEN CARS IN A WEEK
SOLD BY FIRM HERE.
Sales in Several Georgia
Cities.

The sale yesterday of a handsome
Buick touring car, costing $1,750, to
Mr.. JOHN NJ. Goolsby was the tenth
sale for the week made by the Ameri-
( US Automobile Co, an unusual record
for single ON. On Tuesday Walter
Ryl ,nIer de''7ered four "E. NJ. F."
cars "a Camilla, Ga, and since has
sold other cars, e. NJ F., Maxwell
Juniors and Bucks in several neigh
boring towns, including Albany and
Dawson, besides the sales effected
here. The sale of such number OF
cars at cash prices, in addition to the
sixty cars sold by Americus dealers
during March, would indicate that
prosperity still stalked abroad in this
corner of the moral vineyard No city
in the south of its size has nearly sc
many automobiles as Americus, and
there seems no end to the purchasing
proposition.

INTEREST Is GREAT IN
RESULT OF CONTEST.
Prize Seekers Are WORKING
ZedIOuSIy.
Stacks of Coupons Are
Voted in Contest For
New York Trip.

Americus has seldom witnessed {
more interesting voting contest than
that now waged among half dozen
talr contestants for the coveted prize
offered by the Times-Recorder-
round trip from Americas to New
York, with all expenses paid during
two weeks.
1t is a prize we'll worth the effort Of
winning, and the half dozen contest.
ants appreciate the fact.
The first publication of the vote al
ready cast was made last Sunday and
aroused renewed interest in the race.
1t evidenced the mettle of the ladies,
and put additional friends to work for
them.
Every Times-Recorder subscriber is
clipping coupons now for one or an
other of the contestants, and every
paper that goes into a home or bust
ness house feels the touch of the busy
scissors as the coveted coupon is cut
and laid carefully away for the time.
For each one adds just that much
to the chances of one of the con-
testants.
The result of the balloting to this
date, as shown by the figures at the
top of the column, indicates the good
work done during the past week, and

THE CHAMPS TO FIGHT
IN DEFENSE OF FENCE.
First Inning of Season at
Court House.

The first game of the ball season
in Americus will very probably ne
pulled off in the superior court with
Judge T. A. Littlejohn in the role OF
umpire and despite his well-known
fondness for the national game, will
dislike to serve in such a capacity.
For the ball team, in all probability
will be hauled into court to answer in
junction proceedings instituted to pre-
vent the removal of property from the
park.
And much regretted legal pro-
ceeding is likely.
On account of the increase demand
ed for rental of park grounds this
season by the owner, Mr.. E. L. Bell
the Baseball Assoc 1ation has secured
the Dudley grounds on Hampton
street, Immediately in rear of the
Parker warehouse.
And, quite naturally, the Associa-
tion desires to remove the fence and
grandstand from the .old park to the
new grounds.
Mr. Bell, it is stated, objects to the
removal of the fixtures, and it was
said last night that he might inter
pose injunction proceedings to pre-
vent it. Thus informed, the Associa-
tion officers began tearing down the
grandstand in order to bring the mat
ter to focus.
The club built the fence and grand
stand at a cost of probably $500, the
players doing the work themselves
but it is scarcely worth half the sum
now
The situation is deeply regretted
but the team is determined to have
a new park, and the grounds secured
almost in the business part of town
are we'll adapted thereto and its near
proximity will insure a larger attend
ance at the ball games, it is said.
If the injunction IS issued the Asso-
citation will give bond and proceed
with the work.
