After an absence of ten years NJ

his former Americus friends though,
as might be supposed, time had
wrought so many changes that intro

long in Savannah with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Rees, former res
i lents here, he still has a tender spot
in his heart for the old town upon the
red hills of Sumter Mr. Rees has
spent many years in the Golden West,
serving three years in the light ar
tillery branch Of the army, and re-
lates many interesting experiences of
life in the West But he has since
settled down as a resident of Rich
land. and the fact that he selected Fri
day and the thirteenth of the month
as the date of his marriage has not
served as hoO-doo to queer his hap
piness and prosperity.

The authorities went at the business

no guilty one might escape. The cars
were closely inspected, and the dis

carefully measured with tape line.
Time was taken with a stop watch.
IA furore was created here a year
ago when a dozen or more auto own
ers were hauled up in police court on
a similar charge-that of speeding
Most of them escaped on technical
ity, while in a few instances light
fines were assessed. Since then the
"scorchers' have been quiet.
Recently, however, the speeders have
gone to wild running again, with the
result that another halt will be called
in police court.

GUN CLUB RE-ORGANIzED
With LARGE MEMBERSHIP
First Meeting and Shoot a
Great Success

With a rousing meeting and sue
lessful initial shoot, the Americus
Gun Club was permanently re-organ-
lied yesterday afternoon at the new
grounds near the Country Club house.
The first meeting of the re-organiz-I
ed club was a distinct success, as
forty members were enrolled, while the
g"eatest enthusiasm prevailed concern
lag the new trap and grounds. Mr..
]. w. Hightower was chosen presi-
dent of the new organization, and Mr.
H. s. Council secretary.
1t was decided that future meetings
of the club be held regularly on We'd
nesday afternoons alta o'clock in or
der to allow this desirable time of day
to be used for trap shooting. All the
members of the club are urged to at
tend these meetings regularly, as each
meeting of the club for some time to
come will be marked by matters of
special interest.
Members of the club were enthus-
iastic in their praise of the new trap
that has been installed on the grounds.
The situation chosen and the nature
of the grounds and environment make
the gun clubs new quarters as good
as could be desired The trap shoot
ing yesterday afternoon, though the
first of the season, was highly en-
joyed by every one who participated
in the sport. There is no doubt, judg-
ing from the opinions expressed oy
the members of the club, that the or
ganization is now on a firm basis and
will be maintained permanently much
to the enjoyment of local spOrtsmen.

that the white flag was Immediately
hoisted and at 12:45, except for oc-

all help possible 10 the wounded of
both sides, He himself has been
shaking hands with federal officers
who are prisoners and telling thet
how bravely they fought.
With the surrender of the barracks
over which a white flag was hoisted
at 1926 o'clock the capture of
JUarez is practically complete. There
is some firing on the outskirts of the
town, but great clouds of dust and
smoke make it difficult to ascertain
the situation of the federal force.
