IS AMERICUS TO GREET
HON. WILLIAM ]. BRYAN
Nothing Done Toward Getting
Him Here

The Times-Recorder has already
suggested that Americus invite Hon
William Jennings Bryan to make an
address here upon his coming to South
Georgia early in June, and while steps
to that end have not yet been taken,
there is plenty Of time in which to
act. A guarantee Of only $3.50 is all
that is required, and this could be
pledged in a moment. Mr.. Bryan will
speak in Albany at 1 o'clock in the af-
ternoon of June Is, and could doubt
less come to Americas by automobile
for a night address on the same date.
Thousands of visitors would gladly
come here to see and meet the thrice
presidential candidate, in the event
Americus gets busy and iny.es him
here.
