AMERICAS INSTITUTE
is INSPECTED
Committee Visits School and
Addresses Pupils

The plant of the Americas Institute
was inspected yesterday by Mayor J.
E. Mathis, Supt A. G. Miller, of the
public schools, Judge 2. A. Littlejohn,
Mr.. Lee G. Council, Mr.. NJ. NJ. Lowery
and Mr.. Thomas Gamble
These gentlemen visited the Insti-
tute on the invitation of Principal Red
dick, and We're shown throughout the
buildings. The several large frame
structures were thoroughly inspected
and were found in highly creditable
condition. The grounds AMI the build,
ings, without exception, were faultless-
ly clean and nowhere was there any
evidence of other than a very. careful
supervision by the principal and his
staff of the environment. of the school
The boys and girls attending the In
stitute, of whom there are now over
two hundred, were seen in their class
rooms and made very creditable APP
pearance. Like their surroundings
the pupils were neat and clean and ev-
identity of a decided type of intelli-
gence.
After inspecting the various depart
ments the visitors were escorted to
the auditorium where the children had
been assembled There pleasing pro-
gram of vocal music was rendered I'M
der the direction of one of the teach
ers. The boys and girls sang together
with admirable harmony and the Sc
lections given were highly enjoyable,
At the close all of the visiting gentle
men addressed the pupils, at the re-
quest of Principal Reddick.
Mayor Mathis reviewed the history Of
the Institute, referring to the humble
beginning of fourteen years ago when
Principal Reddick began his work in
two small rooms, and paid tribute to
his efforts that had resulted in the es-
Establishment of the school on its pres
ent solid foundations The lesson he
impressed upon the pupils was that
they must likewise be patient, realizing
that their growth must be by slow
steps, and that only by close appllca-
ton, persistent industry and the will
lmgness to work and let Providence
take care of the results, could they
expect to make themselves more use
full men and women and assist in the
uplift of their people
Mr.. Lee Council spoke few words
Of encouragement, urging devotion o
principle as the basis of happy, sat
isfactory and useful lives,
Supt. Miller gave a more extended
talk on what education meant, i'm
pressing on his audience the fact that
their work in the school was merely
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1911-03-30

intended as training for their future
lives, and that its value to them would
depend solely on how they applied it..
He stressed the fact that the negro
must rise through labor, that the labor
must be conscientious, and that back
of it must be moral principle. Each
one must realize that there is a place
for him in the world, something espe-
cially intended for him to do, and that
his value to the country lay in an en-
deavor to honestly fulfill the purpose
for which he was created There is
ample work for both races in the
South of the future, with it's vast fields
of opportunity just opening up, and the
negro must realize that he must depend
upon his own efforts to greater de-
gree if he is to make the proper use
of these opportunities.
Judge Littlejohn stressed the impof-
lance of obedience to the law. The
Judge pointed out that the best senti-
ment of the South stood for justice 10
the negro, that is believed that the
courts should protect and punish him
exactly as it protected and punished
the white race, and that the negroes
must feel that the white race is not in
imical but friendly to the negro race.
He urged on the boy and girls the
avoidance of anything that would tend
to make them criminal or bring them
in conflict with the criminal laws Of
the state. Your usefulness for good,
will be gone the moment your character
is gone, said he. You not only destroy
your own usefulness and make your
own lives a failure by the commission
of a criminal act, but you bring re-
proach upon and serve to injure your
people as whole. The judges re-
marks We're very kindly but pointed.
Mr. Lowery expressed appreciation
of the work being done at the lnsti-
tute and expressed the hope that it
would continue it's mission Of giving
the negro boys and girls mental and
industrial training combined.
There are now fourteen teachers ut
the school, seven and seven women.
An effort is soon to be made to raise
81 900 to permit of further expansion
of it's influences.

berry, Freed He is
Given Fine
Charge of Cruelty 10 Animals After
Dismissal of First Case Results in
Conviction in Justice Court.

A case of the stinger getting stung
twice in the same place was placed
on the records of the justice court this
morning when Judge Joe H. Parkes
dismissed the assault charges against
IS B. Reed, Charles owens and S. D.
Handran, assessed the costs of the ac-
ton against the complaining witness,
Albert Allen, and then, when Deputy
District Attorney Pruitt filed charges
of cruelty to animals against Allen
fined his SO more ad costs.
AS chronicled yesterday Allen, who
is a mixed blood, came down from
Adams and swOre out a complaint
against the three men. alleging that
they had held him up on the streets
of Adams Tuesday night, pulled him
out Of his buggy, and, after beating
him up, had robbed him of $15. His
own testimony this morning was to the
same effect but the only support he
had was couple of black eyes.
The three men, however, testified
that they had come upon Allen late
in the evening beating his horses in
an effort to make them pull his bug
gy back onto small ridge off which
two of the wheels had run. They of
fered him assistance, according to
their testimony, and in return he
slashed one of them across the face
with his whip. This lead to the as
sault, they said, after which they took
his team and buggy to livery barn
and put it up for the night.
Judge Parkes deemed the defend
ants story the straighter, promptly
dismissed the case against them and
assessed the costs, amounting to near
ly $40. against Allen
The deputy district attorney i'm.
mediately swore out a complaint
charging Allen with cruelty to ami
mails and he was fined ten dollars by
the court.

John Swami Caught in Frisco, After

Scotland Yard.

San Francisco, Calf, Nov. 10
John Swami, who wears the Victorial
cross for bravery in the Boer war
and is suspected of being a murderer
for whom Scotland Yard has prose-
cuted ten year search, and holder
of a hero watch, presented by citi-
zens of Seattle. for rescuing people
from drowning in 1902, is undergoing
the third degree" here today.
His description exactly tallies with
the description of a murderer on
whose head, a circular found in his
room says, $1,000 reward is offered
in South Africa.
The police are inclined to believe
the man is a fakir and might have
prepared the circular himself.
He was arrested on complaint of a
woman who said he confessed to sew
eral robberies.

TRUST FIGHT
IS ON TODAY
Last TechnicaIity Raised by
Packers is Being Thrash
ed Out.
ANTITRUST LAW AT STAKE
If Judge Kohsaat "ShOuld Happen"
to Rule Against Corporations, Gov
ernment May FOrstall Appeol to
Supreme Court.

Chicago, H.. Nov. 16.-In the hear
ing of the United States government
versus ]. ogden Armour and nine
other beef barons, before Judge Kohl
saat in the United States circuit court.
today will be threshed out the last
technicality, raised by the packers to
gain time in order to more effectually
fight, impending Jail sentences, for
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
Judge Kohlsaat has already ruled
that he can reverse decision of a dis
trict judge in his own circuit, which
establishes a precedent
Today he will rule on the constitu-
tionality of the penal provision of the
antitrust law.
The packers alleged the penal pro-
vision is unconstitutional. as it does
not set a standard by which a vio-
lation of law can be measured, or in
other words it is too indefinite.
If the government wins its fight
before Judge Kohlsaat, it probably
will be able to forestall an appeal by
packers to the United States supreme
court
