TO SWELL NEW YORK'S
GREAT POPULATION

New York, January 20-To piece on
a population that would make of this
city the greatest metropolis in IT,
world, is the obpect of a big mand Of
boomers that is planning today tc
ask the legislature to include the town
Of Lower Westchester in the bounda-
ries of Greater New York. With Yon
kers, Mt. eVrnon and a score of lesse
places added to the territory of thu
city that is now pressing close up to
their lower lines, it is reckoned that
Gotham would encompass more souls
han London in a lesser circumference.
Everything but the consent of the
residents of these surburbs has to
day been calculated by the active adj
yocates of this metropolitan extension,
and this, it appears now will be hard
to get. The hundreds of thousands
of commuters who cross the city lin
its to get a breath of country air see,
determined to resist to the last this
attempt to lasso their homes back in
to the corral of the city,

RECEIVERS AND LAWYERS
ARE PAID FOR SERVICES
Distribution of Funds in Old Exchange
Bank Case.

Macon, Ga, January 2O,-Judge L
session this morning made the final
award of fees to the receivers Of the
Exchange Bank and to the attorneys
who represented the receivers and
the creditors. The fees apportioned
today are for the full services Of all
parties until the end of the litigation
The receivers now have about $4,000
IN deposit in local banks. When the
fees are paid out, which will be done
this week, their account will be con-
siderably reduced. However, they still
have a number of assets to sell, and il
is probable that sufficient money will
be realized to justify the payment oI
another dividend to the creditors.

Smith DECLINES
SENATORIAL
CONTEST.
viii Serve As Governor OF
Georgia.
From Atlanta Comes the Positive
Statement That GOVGFROr-ElGCt
HOke Smith Will Decline Candidacy
For United States Senate.

ATLANTA, Ga, January 20.-It was
learned on the best authority here to,
night that Governor-elect Hoke Smiti
will not be a candidate for the United
States senate.
From the same source also comes
the positive statement that Governor
Smith Will take no hand in the sena-
torial fight, but that it is his purpose
to go ahead and serve as governor for
the term for which he was elected, un-
less it should be shortened by legisla
tive action by a period of six months,
upon his own suggestion that the in
auguration should take place January
1, following the election
The statement that the governor
elect will not be a candidate may be
accepted as absolute and the only way
in which he could possibly figure IL
it would be as the result of an effort
Of his friends in the legislature, but
as many feel that he should serve his
term as governor, this is not consid-
cred likely.
This leaves the field open to the
several announced candidates and such
others as may desire to get into
the fight.

tests In AmGFiCuS This Year or
Next.

! The executive committee of the High
School associations of the Third Con-
gressional district will meet i'll this
city this morning at 10:30 o'clock at

After the business of the session has
been transacted, the members will be

The high schools of the different
Congressional districts of the state
have been organized into associations
under the direction of the Department
OF Education of the University of Geor-
| gla. These associations hold meetings
in the spring at which questions per-
tanning to high school administration
and work are discussed, also contests
III defamation, music, essay writing
and athletics are held The winners
Of prizes in these contests then con-
test at the state meet at the University

one factor has done as much for the
Improvement of high school conditions
i'll Georgia have these associations.
The association has held it's meet
ings at Hawkinsville, Cordele and
Cochran. Fitzgerald was selected for
the place of next meeting, but if it is
found that Fitzgerald cannot take
care of it this year an effort will be
made to bring it to Americus,
With our splendid high school au-
ditorium in which to hold the meet
ing of the association and the liter
ary exercises, Rees Park for the ath-
letics and the streets around the park
which could easily be used for the
track, Americus would make an ideal
place for this meeting.
This meeting would bring a crowd
OF boys and girls, as well as teachers,
fem all over the district and would
prove quite an event in the school his
tory Of our little city
Americus has shown up we'll at all
OF the meetings, winning a majority
Of the prizes at the meeting in Cor,
ele, and it is hoped that a better show
ing will be made this year.
1t is hoped these gentlemen will
meet with a cordial reception today
By our people, and will be SO favora-
! lily impressed with our city that we
may secure the meeting, either this or
the next year.

PLANTING PECANS
IN Streets
ALREADY.
Beauty and Utility Are Thus
Combined.
AmGFlCuS Home Owners Adopt Sug-
gestlOn Of TimeS-RGCOrdGr and
Plant Out Pecan Trees In Front OF
Residences For Shade.

Americus property owners have al
ready adopted the suggestion made by
the Times-Recorder relative to plant
ing pecans as shade trees in front of
their residences, and the beginning
thus made will find ready followers rs
the wisdom of the suggestion becomes
the more apparent.
Why not the useful and ornamental
pecan tree, instead of the useless and
slower growing elm?
Out on Lee street several owners of
handsome homes, among others Capt.
John A. Cobb, Mr.. John T. Taylor and
Nh Edwin Bell, are planting pecan
trees already.
These trees, in time, will grow in
teaGty and symmetry, and aside from
their ornamental use will afford fine
yitIds of nuto. Tney are being plant
ed near the curbstone and thus occu-
ny space that otherwise would not be
utilized, or else be planted in trees
that promise shade alone.
Mr, H. w Smithwick, a recognized
upon pecan culture and one
of the most successful growers of these
fine trees in the South, is putting ont
the pecans on Lee street in front of
he several properties above mentioned.
Great care is taken in the selection
and planting of the young trees, thus
insuring a rapid growth.
Within comparatively short time,
five or six years at the most, these
trees will have attained such growth
as to afford not only grateful shade,
but will be in good nut-bearing form
as we'll Imagine the pleasing condi-
tion if such shade trees were planted
throughout the city.
Several South Georgia towns are
thus putting out pecan trees along
the residence streets for shade, and
others will do likewise as the idea
takes a firmer hold. The pecan costs
no more than an oak or elm, and serves
4 double purpose as we'll.

MAKING HOME HAPPY
FOR Two HUSBANDS.
First Is Like Father to Ex..
Wife And Spouse.

Wichita, Kans., January 2O-Not
many women would have the courage
to make home happy for a husband
and an ex-husband at the same time

to do
Mhen Mrs Anna Luce was a very
young girl she was married to A. w

his Wife Everything went well unit
two wars ago, when Mrs. Luce met W
A. Wilson, who is about her own age

were paid by her ex-husband and she
carried with her a sum of money as
IA wedding gift from him. He is veal
thy. August % she was married tc
Wilson in Los Angeles. Kansas laws
provide that a divorced person must
not marry inside of six months. A
tue time all three persons concerned
thought the marriage was legal.
After Mrs. Wilson had been in Cali,
tornia a few months she grew home
sick. Finally she could not bear tC
thiHk that her ex-husband who has
been so kind to her might be needing
her to take care of him SO she wrote
TO Luce and he Went to Los Angeles
The three then made their home in q
Western city until the first of the
month, when Mrs. Wilson declared she
wanted to live in Kansas.
So they came back to Wichita tc
live in the pretty bungalow which Luce
owns To legalize the marriage th:
couple went yesterday to Newton ant
