MYSTERY is LIFTED In
The Case OF CLYATT
Missing Man In West, 1t Is
Believed

Waycross, Ga, Nov 21.-Beyond
finding clues that pointed to Clyatt's
departure from Waycross the day after
he left his home for some point in the
West, nothing further has been ascer-
tanned by the detectives working here
on the mysterious case. Clyatt was
seen in Waycross the Thursday after
he was reported missing. His identifi-
cation was complete as former resi-
dent of Triton was the man to see him.
Working on this clue, it was found that
man answering almost completely
to Clyatts description had purchased
a ticket at Waycross the same night he
was seen, for some place in the West,
leaving here on a train over the At
lantic Coast Line about midnight.

WILL REQUIRE time
TO EXPLAIN NEW LAW
Game Law Has Many kinks
In II Now

Atlanta. Nov. 21.--It loaks as if il
will take the whole hunting season
and the rest of the year to boot to
show just exactly what the new game
law does allow and what it does not
allow.
Numbers of complications arise ey-
cry time the law is put into operation
with regard to certain of its proyis-
ions.
Many hunters announce that they
have decided to go right ahead gill
| ing migratory ducks with the idea
that despite Attorney General Fell
der's opinion, the law does not really
prohibit shooting them. Attorney
General Felder's decision was on the
theory that the migratory ducks, by
implication, were regarded as nom
game birds under the Georgia law,
and could not be shot because they
are not included in the list of nom
game birds, hawks, owls, etc, which
can be shot.
The hunters, and among them are
many lawyers, contend that the courts
must take cognizance of the fact that
migratory duck is a game bird, and
that Attorney General Felders opin-
ion would not be upheld in test
case. They are the more willing To
try a fall with him in view of the
fact that no earthly good could be
derived from protecting migratory
ducks. and that the individual mem
bers of the legislature say they never
had any intention of protecting them
Another interesting development is
the opinion of the court of appeals,
just rendered, that the state law
knocks out all the county laws. Sew
eral counties, including Early, Doug
las. Paulging, ETC.. have tad their own
game laws imp to this time.

EXPECT IT TO BE
TAFT VS.. HARMON
Politicians Look For Line Up
That Way

Washington, D.. C. Nov. 21.-Polit-
cal opponents of President Taft will
fall into grave error if they overlook
in the estimate of his tour, the oppor-
tunity which it has given him to come
into close touch with political condi-
tiOns. This may easily follow the eff
trip to the Pacific coast and into the
South. The president is today in
closer working relationship with the
leaders of his party in the contested
territory than any other man in eth
er the Republican or Democratic or
ganization
Through the courtesy of man who
has just made a careful Investigation
in 80 states, an estimate of both Re
publican and Democratic conditions
as they stand today is obtained. They
are subject to change. The details #
the report on which the estimate is
based will become the property Of
whoever is selected to. manage the
next Republican campaign.
Seven men now participate in the
control of the votes to be cast in the
next Democratic convention. Named
in order OF their apparent strength,
they are Harmon, Wilson, Clark, Bry-
an, Underwood, Marshall, and Folk
All but the first two are regarded as
dark horses. So a good political
prophet as Henry Watterson said
when president Taft was in Louis
Vile that the Democratic nomination
was, because of the two-thirds rule
in the Democratic convention, likely
to go to dark horse"
In the Republican party the situa-
ton is in striking contrast. President
Taft's managers assert that he Will
have 975 of the probable 1,O72 votes
in the Republican convention. Sena-
tor La Toilette is the only candidate
openly against the President This
estimate leaves him less than lOo
votes.

WHITE MAN EAGER
FOR THE NEGRO'S DOLLAR
So Declared Booker Washington In
Talk ON Races.

Neburgh, N. Y, Nov 21.-Booker
T Washington has no faith in the
white man permitting his colored
brethren to get adollar ahead so long
as the white man can get a change
at first. He was the guest of Ly-
man Abbott, at Cornwall, and spoke
along these lines, to the, largest au-
dience ever gathered in the village.
Abbott introduced the speaker.
Washington said a great many
prominena men expressed their opin-
ion that the negro race should be
kept to itself. Washington said it
would need many walls to keep the
white man out, as they would be
afraid they would miss dollar, which
they are always after, He said per-
son may have 10 per cent of blood IN
him from all the other races, but just
as soon as it is learned that he has
/ per cent of negro blood he is class
led as negro They were the only
race that were ever invited to come
to this country; in fact, that hat
their passage paid, and now they are
working out thei ,rowp. destiny. j.

MORE MEMBERS NEEDED
FOR LYCEUM COURSE
Hoped They May Be Secured
Today

Though the movement to have a Ly-
ceum course here during the winter
has met with much encouragement
there are still a number of double
season tickets yet to be secured be-
fore the excellent attractions prom
ised can be booked.
Messrc. A. NJ. Arnett and C. C. YOU
mans, of the High School faculty, are
in charge of the plan locally to secure
the Lyceum course. Many who wish
to secure tickets for the course have
not been informed that they may Sc
cure tickets by applying to these local
representatives, but these names have
been given as responsible for the
movement here, so that every one
who wishes a ticket may secure one
by applying to either Mr.. Arnett or
Mr.. YOumans, who may be communi-
Gated with by telephone either at
No. 500 or at the High School tele-
phone.
The six attractions, which have al
ready been announced by name in The
Times Recorder, are all of the high
est class. Only through the rarest
good fortune are they offered to the
people of Americus at such low
price. The price Of a season double
ticket is $3.50 while a single ticket
may be secured for $3.50. If all who
wish tickets will communicate with
Mr.. Arnett or Mr.. Youmans to-day,
il is believed that the required num-
Der of tickets to guarantee the course
can be secured to-day

CAR OWNERS
URGED TO GREET
STATE TOURISTS
AS THEY ARRIVE TODAY
Royal Welcome Will Be Civ
en- Visitors

A welcome that they will long re-
member and that will not be sur
passed by that rendered them at any
point along the tour will be extend
ed to the tourists who come to the city
this afternoon on the Georgia Good
Eoads Tour
Every owner of a car in Americus
is urged to take a part in extending
this welcome to the tourists by meet
ing them on the Andersonville road
at the eighth mile-post, where it has
been decided to meet the tourists
and escort them into the city. The
time when the tourists will reach the
city is little difficult to determine,
but it is believed that they will begin
to reach here about A o'clock in the
afternoon.
At any rate, it will be easy for all
who are interested to find out the time
when the tourists will arrive by in
quiring concerning the bulletins that
will be received here from them as
they draw near the city. If they be-
gin to reach the city at o'clock, it
will be well for those who wish to
meet them In cars to be at the eighth
mile-post at $3.50 o'clock, or earlier.
In no other manner can the people
of the city show their hospitality than
to turn out in force in their cars to
welcome the tourists this afternoon.
1t has been arranged so that the ar
irving tourists will be furnished with
cards to the Country Club and the
Elks Club. The Country Club will not
keep open house, as originally an
tnounced, but all who desire will be
welcomed there. There will be an or
chestra at the Hotel Windsor, where
all who desire to spend the evening
more quietly may assemble and meet
their friends.
| From the latest information avail
able 1t seems that there will be fifty
cars to reach Americus on the hour.
| 1t is likely that the number of visitors
who will be present will aggregate
as many as IT'S. This will mean
lively time in Americus tonight, for
the best that the city has will be at
the disposal Of it's guests, so that
they may be entertained in most hos
pitable manner during their stay ut
the first night control on the tour.

BOTH BROWN
and GUERRY
SPEAK TODAY
BEGINNING AT II O'CLOCK
v. ]. Flanders Addressed the
Meeting Last Night
SPEAKING TO-DAY
Time: II o'clock.
Place: Opera House.
Speakers: Pope Brown, Du-
pont Guerry.


A large crowd assembled at the
Court House last night to hear Mr.. w
j. Flanders, loyal supporter of Pope
Brown for governor. discuss the issu
of prohibition as it enters into the
present gubernatorial campaign and
to champion Mr.. Brown as the only
candidate who stands fairly and
spuarely in the race as the candidate
who favors prohibition.
Mr. Brown was present at the meet
ing last night and was generously APP
plauded several times, but he did not
speak, as he wished to be fresh for
the speech he will deliver this morn
ing at the Opera House at II o'clock
by Mr.. Dupont Guerry, who was un-
able to be present last night on ac-
count of the fact that the people %
Cordele wished to hear him discuss
once more the issues of the campaign.
The discussion of prohibition by Mr..
Flanders was forceful and convinc-
ing one. With numerous statistics
at his finger tips, he showed clearly
what an awful toll in human lives
the liquor traffic take annually. The
status of prohibition in the state to-
day also came in for careful comment
by the speaker, especially as present
conditions are as compared with those
encountered prior to the passage Of
the prohibition law.
Mr. Brown was championed by the
speaker as the only candidate who is
openly and really in favor of prohibi-
ton and who is fearless enough 10
make prohibition the vital issue in the
present campaign. The excellent at
tention given the speaker by those
present showed conclusively the inter
est which they had in the merits of
the discussion, which brought forth
applause at frequent intervals.
Prior to the hour of the address at
the Court House, Mr.. Brown was the
central figure at an informal recep-
tion held in the lobby of the Windsor
Hotel, where he met large number
of friends. There We're numbers of
those who met Mr.. Brown who gave
him assurance that he would carry
Sumter county by large majority in
the coming primary.
