LYCEUM COURSE
IS PLANNED FOR
WINTER SEASON
IF PEOPLE HERE DESIRE IT
Six Special Attractions viii
Be Offered the Public

If sufficient support is given to the
effort now being made, the people Of
Americus will have the enjoyment of
a lyceum course during the winter
season here.
A representative of the Alkahest Ly
ceum system is in the city now for the
purpose of ascertaining if the people
of Americus will support such a sys-
tenn under most favorable circum-
stances. Six attractions of special
merit are offered to the people of the
city at reduced prices on account of
the fact that places near Americus
have already been booked for these
attractions and they can make Amer
icus at very low cost
The six attractions offered are W.
Powell Hale, impersonator; Schubert's
Orchestra, mixed quartette; Ross
Crane, cartoonist and impersona-
ator; Rounds Lady Orchestra, ten in
struments; Frank Dixon, lecturer;
Wilbur Starr, male quartette. 1t is
planned to have one of these attrac-
tions in December, the remaining five
coming in January February and
March, as will be announced later.
The special purpose of organizing
the lyceum course is to give the pu-
[pils of the grammar grades and the
High School the benefit of the Gttrac-
tions at reduced prices. All the pu-
pills will be given a special rate In
addition to this it is necessary to sell
a certain number of season tickets
in order to insure the success of the
project. Double tickets may be had
| at $3.50, or single tickets at $3.50.
Efforts will be made to-day to secure
a requisite number of pledges to OBJ
tain the complete course for Americas.
Unless sufficient tickets are sold
in advance to insure the success or
the movement, no effort will be made
to carry 1t through. 1t is earnestly
hoped, however that those who are
canvassing for tickets to-day may Sc
cure the cooperation and encourage
ment of every citizen who favors such
excellent lyceum attractions as are
promised.

here yesterday and delivered an ad-
dress before the meeting of the school

ty School Commissioner Moore.
A tribute of merited praise was paid
Iby the chancellor in the beginning OF
his address to the soil of Sumter
county, which he showed was recog-
nized even by the federal government
as being of the most valuable and
productive kind, as a soil map had
been issued recently from Washington

well organized educational interests,
it's agricultural advancement and its
good roads have served to make Sum-
ter a model for the counties of the
state, said the speaker.
In alluding to the specific work Il
the teacher in relation to the pupil,

human sympathy as the most pow

said he, should understand the home
environment of pupils before attempt
ing to direct their educational deyel-
opment. Healthful amusements and a
wisely directed social Intercourse are
essential for the development of well

ion OF the chancellor.

Relief

Atlanta. Nov. 1S.-Rev. Benjamin
Graham, pastor of st. James Metho-
dist church here, has resigned from
his suit for divorce from his wife,

In the petition he alleges cruelty,
neglect, fear of bodily harm to him

children and all the women Of his
church." which, often, eliminates in
wild tantrums of age embarrassing
to himself and his church.
He states that before their marriage
his wife was for eleven years school
teacher at Coyington, Cordele and Ath-
ems, and that this, he believes, is the
cause of her unusual feeling toward
his children.
MY wife is a child-hater." he said,
and although | have not believed in
divorce, now find that it is the only
thing possible for the sake of my
children.
Mr.. Graham stated tonight that he
probably would adopt the stage as a
career. He said:
In moral plays which exert a ten
dency to uplift, | believe | could fol-
low an occupation that is a parallel
with that of preaching the gospel
will still retain my moral attitude,
but, seeing no other course, the foot
lights promise me a means of liveli-
hood for myself and children, and I
will adopt it."
Mr. Graham is 40 years of age, while
Mrs. Graham, from whom he seeks
divorce, is 50.

Americus is ready to welcome with
open arms the tourists who will reach
the city Wednesday afternoon and ey-
ening on their journey to cover the
Good Roads Tour around Georgia.
The committee on entertainment
for the visitors announced yesterday
that all arrangements have practically
been completed to show the cfty's
guests cordial welcome and good
time while they are here. This has
been the endeavor of Chairman Frank
P Harold. of the cmmittee, and the
the theirs who have assisted him.
The results of the labor of the COM
mittee show for themselves how we'll
the work has been done. For the en-
joyment of the visitors the Elks Club
will keep open house, a dance will be
given at the Country Club, and there
will also probably be reception at
the Windsor Hotel The Country Club
will be open for all the ladies who
wish to visit the delightful club rooms
there, while the reception at the
Windsor Hotel will, in case 1t is ar
ranged, be intended for those who do
not care to visit the Country Club.
II will be seen from this that there
will be something doing in the way
of entertainment for all who come,
SO that Americus will live up, to if not
surpass, it's splendid record in this
particular. AS the visitors are expect
ed TO commence arriving as early as
) or $3.50 o'clock, there will be suf-
tcient time for them to enjoy the va
ried entertainment that will await
them 1t is confidently expected that
there will be as many as $50 tourists
to spend the night here next Wednes-
day night. There will be about AZ
cars that will pass through Americus
so that it may be seen from this that
there will be large number of tour
lists to spend the night here.
1t will tax the capacity of the hotel
accomodations locally to take care
of the big crowd that will be present
but every effort will be made to care
for the tourists as well as is possible
under the circumstances. All ths
available rooms in the Windsor Hote
and the Hotel Sumter will be brought
into use, while cots will be placed II
all the available space to handle th'
overflow. The latter accommodation
will, of course, not be luxurious Du
with such large crowd better accom-
odations could hardly be expected.
The cars will be met as they reaci
the city, and directions will be giFei
to all the tourists relative to the 10
cation of the Elks Club and the Ooun
try Club. Free space has been onere'
the tourists in the local garages
