fectly secure Of their social status,

seems to be possessed of the power Of

THE HEBREWS TO CELEBRATE
ADVENT OF NEW YEAR
Next Friday viii Usher in the Good
Year 1872.

Americas Hebrews, like al 'Others
will celebrate the Hebrew New Year
which begins on Friday evening, Sep
TENDER %. 1t will be observed as a
holiday from Friday evening until
shutdown Saturday. The orthodox He
brews will also observe the social
ed second day during Saturday
night and Sunday.
This marks the beginning of the
Jewish year 1912.
The season is one of introspection,
repentance and supplication for for
giveness, and for the forming of good
resolutions for doing ones duty to
God and man. The services in the syn
agogue are very impressive and dis
tinguished by the blowing of the Sho-
far, or Rams Horn.
The day is known by four different
names, as the New Year Yosh Hash
ana; The Day of Judgment, a Day IF
Memorial, and Day of the Blowing
of the Cornet. The significance of each
is interesting and instructive.

LEE COUNTY COTTON
COMING TO AMERICUS
Such Is the Opinion Of Local
WaFehOuSGmGn

Americas this season is receiving
more cotton from Lee county than has
been the case in many seasons, ac-
cording to the reports made by local
warehousemen, who assign this in
crease in cotton trade from that sec
ton largely to the present convenient
system of schedules on the Central,
which were put into effect some time
ago.
The trains as they now run from the
towns below Americas enable farmers
to come to Americas in the early after
noon, giving them practically all Of
the afternoon to transact business be-
fore returning home on the train that
leaves here at Z O'Clock in the evening
This train puts them a home, or
within a short distance of their homes,
early enough for them to enjoy supper
there, so that for convenience the
arrangement is an admirable one.
The development OF trade from this
section is very important for the flu
ture growth of the city, as much Of
this trade in the past has been going
elsewhere. The increase in number of
bales received from Lee county at the
Harold warehouse here, was the sub
ject of comment recently by Mr.. Frank
Harold, who pointed out the advant-
ages that the city is now enjoying in
this particular and which he hopes
will help the growth of the cotton
trade here still more.

Bumpers and Navy Yard Will
Play Series.

Now that the championship Of Wash
ington. Baltimore. and Richmond has
been decided, the fans of Southeast Wash
ington are anxious to settle the question
OF the championship of their section.
With this object in view, Managers Mohl-
er and LIE Clare, Of the Pumping Station
and Navy Yard teams. respectively, have
arranged a series Of game between these
two teams. Every time these people
have gotten together this season there
has been a rattling good game.
The series will start Sunday, Septem-
Der "a, at Capital City Park. Two games
will be played. the first starting promptly
at p. m. Mr.. LIE Clare will have
Dutch" Sterzer and Len Stanley as
pitchers. Dutch" has been playing with
Evansville all season, and Stanley has
also been playing professional ball. Joe
Giebel. late OF the Savannah team, will
DO the receiving for the Navy Yard. Phil
Buscher, who was practically the only
winning pitcher for Wilmington this year,
and who is signed by the st. Louis Nation
ais, will twirl one game for the Pumpers

By c. w. SWAN.

Nine Point" Costello, the star quar-
ter back Of the Georgetown football
team, was the first gridiron warrior Of
the year to be injured at Georgetown.
In the first play Of the day, right after
joining the squad in practice, Costello
made a tackle, and injured his right
shoulder, and will be out of the game
for several days at least. Young Mag
ner ran the team through signal dtill.
The extent Of CosteIlo's injury will not
keep him out Of the game for the sea-
son, however.
This will hurt the Blue and Gray
squad in only one way, that Of taking
the first string quarter back away from
them at the start of practice.
Another incident that might cause the
Hilltoppers a little trouble, is that Mag
rer's father is i'll and the speedy back
may leave for his home tomorrow. He
will return in plenty Of time to get in
practice with the team, should his father
regain his health.
Coach Nelson divided the squad into
two teams, with Assistant Coach Gar
gan in charge Of the second team. Sig
nal drill was the order and no scrim-
mage was undertaken, owing to the rain
After a little work the men were given
a talk on training and condition. The
players then were rubbed down and the
days work was called of.
The first team lined up about the same
as yesterday, with Bsrricello and He
garty on the ends, Daley and Heiskell in
guard, Bryant and Kraft in tackle
Stohlman and Greer in center, and Mag
ner. White, Fury, and Dunn in the bach

This was a wonderful game for Wooden
to pitch, as the Brooklyn Americans are
the supposed champions of Brooklyn and
all heavy hitters. The team behind
Lefty were all stars, but not accustomed
to one another; II was, therefore, nee
essary for him to win his own game;
this he did from the box and at the bat;

in and around New York. and it is more
than likely that he will receive offers
from them before the week Is out.

IS CONFIDENT

Chesterfield, Va, Sept. 7-s'I expect
to be home Sunday. I feel that my
story has impressed the jury and I be-
lieve they will give me square deal. -
This was the confident statement of
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., indicted for
the murder of his wife, as he sat in
his cell here today gazing in retrospect
at the eleven days Of evidence taken
which was brought to close last nj ight
uneasiness or nervousness were not Wis
ible in his countenance or manner
The twelve men in whose minds is
located the secret Of Beattie's fate
rose early this morning as usual and af
ter breakfast took strool about the
court house. All the evidence has been
heard and it remains only for the
counsel Of both sides to knot together
the relevancy Of the various testimony.
The defense expects to make its strong
est plea on the danger Of accepting cir
cumstantial evidence, while the prose
cution IS main broadside i'll be delivered
along the same lines which distinguish
ed it's rigid cross-examination of the
prisoner and will center about one
question, how did the gun which Paul
Beattie bought for his cousin Henry,
on Saturday, July Is, come to be in
the hands of an alleged highwayman
on the Midlothian turnpike ,on .ne
night of Tuesday, July 169
The prisoner has denied that he had
seen or knew of the gun before the
highwayman leveled it at him on the
Midlothian turnpike.
