LOCAL FANS NOT GIVING
SUPPORT TO The TEAM
Slim Attendance at Games
Played Here

What is the matter with Americas
fans. that they are Withholding from
the focal ball team this season the
enthusiastic support and patronage so
generously accorded last season, and
in other years Is interest decreasing,
or what really can be the matter with
them?
This pertinent question is asked at
each successive game here, where more
than half the attendance, oftimes, IS
from other towns rather than from
Americas.
The management would like to know
the excuse of this apathy upon the
part of our people.
Of course, there are some enthus-
iastic supporters who rally around the
grandstand or bleachers at every
game, but there are others-many
others, who have not attended game
this season, although many good games
have been played here.
1t is an admitted fact that Americas
has just now the best team in the his
tory of local baseballdom; in fact, a
team infinitely better than that of last
season, yet no interest has been
aroused, and the people stay away. The
.situation is indeed discouraging to the
ball team.
Thus far Americas has played re-
Gently with Atlanta, Eufaula, Cordele,
Camilla, and other amateur teams, and
good ones-yet the attendance was
poor indeed.
tAt Tuesdays game with Eufaula

Manager Ford is endeavoring to COW
er all expenses of the season with
the gate receipts, and without having
to seek other assistance or ask con-
tributions. So far, this has been done
with great effort only. With anything
like fair attendance this plan can be
carried out.
1T does seem that civic pride and a
desire to see a good game would in
crease the attendance.
Perfect order is maintained at the
park; everything is conducive to COM
fort and pleasure, and local patrons of
the game owe it to themselves to back
up the team better than has been done
thus far.

OWNERS OF AUTOS KICK
AT LIMIT OF SPEED
May Appeal to the Council
For Relief

When some Americas auto owners
were hauled up in police court yester-
day morning and fined s. each for
having violated the speed law pre-
scribed by the city council, a protest
loud and long went up, not only from
these victims of the spoilers vigilance,
but from others.
IA stir was thus created, and the sub
ject was one of general discussion in
circles gasoline,
A whole half dozen joy riders were
thus touched up by His Honor, and
while they separated themselves from
the coin of the realm, the divorcing
was done with poor grace.
But what are they going to do about
1.-THE autobugs?
The speed ordinance is on the books,
the autoist is on the ride, and the ON
nipresent spotter is eyerlastingly on
the job.
With stop-watch in hand, he views
the fleeing car and notes the speed of
the benzine buggy, If the calculation
shows that the car was exceeding the
prescribed limit of fifteen miles an
hour Mr., Auto Bugg is placed upon the
docket and his "V" is as good as gone
For figures do not lie, and the spot
ter has the figures.
The car owners maintain that they
can, with greatest difficulty, hold down
their cars to the mileage limit, and
even at that have to move at funeral
pace OF course the ordinance is vio-
lated every day by dozens of autoists,
but even then, they claim, no danger
is incurred.
In fact, there are few, if any cars,
of the $50 operated in Americas that
do not unwittingly violate the speed
law every day.
Some of the car owners maintain
that care can be exercised and the
speed limit increased without engen-
dering danger to pedestrians, and they
think council ought to view the situa-
ton from that standpoint.
Of course, there are a few reckless,
irresponsible young men here who
speed at fifty to sixty miles an hour
whenever they ride, but no law, how
ever strict, will deter them. They
or others when they feel disposed to
run a race among themselves.
On the other hand scores of Ameri-
Gus best and most careful citizens own
cars, and these are the ones who suf-
fer under present conditions. In a body
they propose to go before the city
council, seeking relief

EDITORIAL NOTES
By j. I'D. WATSON

At last, President Taft has been goaded to
action on the Canadian reciprocity agreement.
For two months he has gone along in the
fat mans easy way of taking things, but the
Senate finally overtaxed the patience of the
easy,golnng man, and when his dander did
arouse it was to such pitch that he left no
doubt as to his Intentions.
In his Chicago speech Saturday night (,June
- the President put it squarely up to the Sen
ate-Whether the Senate would listen to the
voice OF the Trusts or to the voice of the pe0-
pie.
The issue now before the Senate is, will the
Lumber Trust force the Senate to defeat Can
adlan reciprocity against the wishes of ninety
millions of people?
10 the Presidents strong argument in favor
of reciprocity, and to his bold exposure of the
real interests that are opposing the measure,
there is no reply; the mask of the farmer that
the Lumber Trust and it's subsidiary trust the
Print Paper Trust, have been wearing, has
been torn away, and the monster Lumber
Trust stands undisguised menacing the well
fare of millions of people.
To hide their treachery, the shrewd traitors
of the Root type and the oily tricksters of the
Bailey tribe will have to get new mask
looking after the welfare of our farmers won't
work as the disguise for these tricksters, who
take orders from the same Trust that bought
Lorimers seat in the Senate
The leopard doesn't shed his spots, nor will
any Senator who helps kill reel procity shed
the brand of the Lumber trust.
When The Jefersoniaro began to hammer
at the Lumber Trust it didn't create much ex-
citement-many people not seeming to realize
that there aO0s such a Trust
When The Jefersoniaaa began to fight those
Southern Congressman who had betrayed the
people by voting for tariff on lumber, the
people didn't seem to realize that they were

THE WELL-BRED GIRL.

The girl who is well-bred never
finds it necessary to announce the
fact to the world. Good breeding is
as natural to her as breathing, and as
necessary, too.
She never gossips or listens to tales
about her friends. This sort of con-
versation is not pleasing TO her.
The well-bred girl seldom apologize
es- it is not necessary for her to do
so, because she is always careful of
other peoples feelings, and she never
talks of her private affairs.
The well-bred girl never makes
herself conspicuous in public places
and does not permit herself to be

mers through the print paper manufacturer,
who own the wood pulp industry.
Fighting under this guise they tell the peo-
pie that it is only the newspapers that want
reciprocity because it will give them cheaper
print paper, and some of the farmers actually
believe that every paper fighting for reel
procity is doing so because they hope to get
print paper cheaper.
The very fact that the measure is meeting
such desperate opposition III the Senate should
be enough to convince the people that there IS
something Of greater Importance than print
paper interests fighting reciprocity.
The agreement has been before the Senate
for two months and isn't yet out of the COM
mittee room, though Mr. Taft called Congress
in extra session for the express purpose of
acting upon it. and the people have been
clamorng for It's passage.
Another point there are more newspapers
controlled by the interests than there are
newspapers not controlled by the interests, so
If newspapers were the only ones to benefit by
reel procity wouldn't these newspapers benefit
as much by it as the independent newspapers?
Would the tariff be taken off of only the
print paper that the independent papers use,
and left on the print paper that the other pa
pers use?
No. and every sensible man sees the game
There is something rotten in Denmark, and
the people have found it out.
Keep your eyes on the Democratic Senators
while the reciprocity FIGHT is on.
Traitor Root is the king bee Trust tool In
the Senate, but unless you keep your eyes open
some Democratic Senators may try to initiate
the New York Republican.
Get your gun ready for the Democrat who
tries to tack on to reciprocity anything in
the way of free list.
The Democratic Senator that tries to do
such trick is ust as much trust tool as is
Root.
But he can play the game of treachery
easier than the Northern Republican, unless
the Southern farmers wake up and compre-
bend the true situation.
The Democratic Senator can kill everything
by pretending to add something that will bene-
fit the Southern farmer, and the farmer may
be fooled into the belief that the traitor was
trying to do HIM greater favor when IN
truth he stabbing a measure friendly to
the farmer death blow in the back
To tack on free list bill in the Senate is
just what such men as old Joe Cannon and
John Dalzel tried to trick the Democrats in
to doing in the House.
They tried to kill reciprocity by adding
free list items, but Underwood was too
smart to be caught by the two old rascaIs.
And everybody ought to know that any
ting either Joe Cannon or John Dalzell pro
poses for the benefit of the farmer is loaded
with dynamite.
Yes, watch the Southern Democrat who
tries to amend the reciprocity agreement; he
and Elihu Root are working to the same end
the death of a measure that is step towards

guilty OF any very great wrong-they had
only protected a little home industry that
needed protection, as timber was growing
scarce.
But, as many times before, the people were
ignorant of the facts; no one realized that
the Lumber Trust had grown to be one of
such huge proportions that it would buy
Senatorship, put it's tool in the Senate and
keep him there for months after the crime
and bribery connected with his election was
made public, and was a standing disgrace to
our highest body of law makers.
According to the report on the Lumber
Trust Of Herbert X. Smith, Commissioner of
Corporations, 1915 members of the Lumber
Trust hold one-half of ninety per cent. of the
timber lands investigated of ninety per
cent. of the timber lands not owned by the
Government, but by private owners, the
Lumber Trust owns one-half
TO get some idea of Just what the Lumber
Trust does control, consider these figures:
The Southern Pacific Railroad holds one
hundred and six billion feet, or stretch along
its line SIX hundred and eighty miles long and
thirty miles wide on each side; the Viewer
hauser Timber Company owns ninety-sx bill
lion feet, not including other vast holdings Of
members of the Weyerhauser family; the
Northern Pacific Railway Go. owns thirty-six
Ull1lOl loCU, ana so on GOWN the l1n0
The entire timber supply in the country, in
Guiding that owned by the Government and in
dependent private owners, is only enough to
meet the demand for fifty years; and by
the time you take away the Trusts fifty per
cent. and the Government towned timber, the
supply would not last over TWENTY-FIVE wears
at the very outside.
This places the Trust in a position where it
can raise the price to suit itself bv restricting
the output-Canadian timber cannot come in
without paying the tariff, so is put out of COM
petition with the Lumber Trust
And the significant fact is that the Trust
is cutting no lumber on the immense tracts;
they are holding it to get the incalculable
profits that are sure to come with the di-
minished supply from other sources, and the
increasing growth OF the country that will
make the demand as much greater in proper
ton.
And if the tariff is allowed to stand, as it
is, the Lumber Trust will soon be central
control of the whole lumber industry-you
will either pay whatever the Trust demands or
do without lumber.
Canadian reciprocity would bring Canadian
lumber in competition with Lumber Trust
lumber, and save to the people the hundreds of
millions of dollars that the Lumber Trust in
tends to rob them Of within the next twenty
five years; and that is the reason that the
Roots and Baileys are opposing reel procity.
The wood pulp industry is a small one, a
little pulp timber interest, whose interest is a
little akin to the Lumber Trusts interests-a
little side show connected with the big circus.
The Lumber Trust doesn't dare show it's
hand in the game for fear the farmers would
catch on to the real situation so it gives it's
orders to it's Roots, it's Baileys and its Lori
