Clark Wins Over Wilson

The most remarkable result in some
ways, OF the California primary, was
the small vote polled by the Democrats
1t Is doubtful whether Clark and Will
son, the two Democrats whose names
were on the Democratic ticket will get
combined, more votes than La Toilette
who was a poor third in the Republican n
race. Clark carried the State by about
Two to one over Wilson. and the Taft
people are rendering, as one explana
ton Of their hard luck, the theory that
most OF the Democrats voted for Roose-
Velt
As California $ lay tied the delega ton
with the unit rule, Clark and Roosevelt
will have it solid, whether they carry
all the Congressional districts or not.

DOTHAN TO
CONE FOR
8 GAMES
MONDAY, TUES, WEDNESDAY
Some Lively BaII.PlayiDg Is
to Be Expected

That some hot ball games will be
played here next week goes almost
without saying when one considers
the announcement just made that the
fast Dothan team will be here for
series of three games. The team from
the Alabama city will open here on
Monday afternoon, the first game
promising to be as hotly contested as
game can well be.
The Dothan team is probably the
swiftest amateur team in Alabama,
at least, such is the claim made for
them. They will bring their full team
ever to play Americus, the same team
that walloped the locals in Dothan
recently to the tune of IA to 2. 1t is
claimed that the team will even be
stronger when it plays here.
Needless to say, however, when The
visitors face the locals at Dude!
Field they will have far differen
proposition with which to contend
than that which faced them in tn,
Alabama city on the last tour. TIL
locals are going in to win the series
as the games stand a tie now, Dothal
having won one and Americus hav
ing copped one, the third of the Sc
ries being a tie.

HOBBLE SKIRTS FOR BAD BOYS

Wilmington, Del, June 7.-Hobble
skirts have been adopted at the Fer

bad boys of Wilmington are sent to
be reformed. The feelings of the
boys have been sorely injured by the
innovation, but the skirts have come
to stay, the officials of the institution
say. The dresses have been adopted
not so much to wound their pride, but
to act as a deterrent upon the in

the dress of a woman a boy cannot
run as fast as in his own clothing.

NEARLY $4,000 RAISED
FOR THE new RAILROAD
1t Enthusiastic Meeting Held For that Purpose at ArmOry
Hall Yesterday Afternoon Another MEETING to Be
Held Saturday Morning

called attention to the fact that
Amerlcus would surely control
large business if this road were built
which Is now going to other cities,
and that furthermore, it would devel-
op much larger business that is not
yet in existence.
Following Mr.. Dinsmore, the chair
man called on others to express them
1 selves and MIR. Laramore made a very
enthusiastic talk, saying that he and
his neighbors wanted a railroad
{ worse than anything else; that they
were buying their fertilizers, cotton
seed meal and hulls and other sup
plies in Albany and hauling it from
eight to twelve miles in wagons, but
if they could get this railroad they
, would be glad to do all their business
III Americus-that they would much
prefer to do this business in Ameri-
Gus, but at present this was practi-
cally impossible
Mr.. John Ferguson arose and said
he was sure his. people would not on
ly give the right-of-way for this rail-
road, but that they would subscribe
to the stock of the road. Mr.. Fergu-
son gave ample evidence of his asser-
tion by subscribing a thousand dol
lars to the stock of the road and
would give three miles of right-of-
way proved it came through his
property, which it is nearly certain
to do.
Mr. Griffin made a good talk in ia
vor of the road and said he was sure
the people would do all that was ex-
pected of them to bring this road 10
them.
Mr.. L. G. Council was called on
and made some clinching arguments
why Americus could not afford to
turn this proposition down. He said
that Americus let one opportunity
slip by to get a splendid railroad and
i had regretted it ever since. He aver
! ed that this was by far the most reas-
enable proposition that had ever bee1
made to this city and it would be
sheer folly for the citizens to let
go by. Mr. Council was sure tn
amount could and would be subscrit
ed and he wanted just as much of
subscribed in the meeting as possible
as this would make the balance eas
to get. Mr.. Council made a large sui
scription and said he would increas
it if necessary.
Mr.. C. J. Clark made a strong al
peal for the road. He was sure ths
Americus could not afford to let tt
opportunity to get hold of a bran
new territory which would increa
her business practically one-third al
possibly more; that he thought tive
ty-fve thousand or even thirty {
forty thousand dollars was not t
much for this city to put into tn
enterprise, that the town could be
ter afford to give this amount tn;
TO lose the railroad.

|AMERICUS POWER COMPANY
HAS NOW BEEN ORGANIZED
Officers Have Been Chosen For the New Lighting and POE-
Gr Company, Which Announces That It Hopes to
Have Its Plant In Operation By October |

At the most recent meeting held by
the stockholders of the new Americus
Power Company, officers and board
of directors for the company were
| chosen. The company's organization
Las now been perfected, and the WORK
on the construction of the new plant
will begin at once, according to the
announcement made yesterday by Mr.
Carroll j. Clark, second vice presi-
dent of the organization.
The officers who were chosen for
the new company are as follows:
Messrs. Frank Lanier, president; l. S.
Mcdonald, first vice-president; c.. j.
Clark, second vice-president; John T.
Taylor, third vice-president; board of
directors, Messrs. Frank Lanier,
Frank Sheffield, John T. Taylor, John

ley, w. c. Sullivan, Neon Buchanan,
w. p Macarthur, G. L. Williams,
George oliver, J. E. Sheppard, R. F.
Cato, c. ]. Clark, r. p Stackhouse,
Ned Sawyer
The capital stock of the new COM
pany, whose charter has already been
ore faH - ha ";
amount, according to Mr.. Clark, has
already been pledged, there being 62
stockholders who have already taken
stock in the company Though the
money has been pledged to the ex-
tent of the entire capital stock, it is
announced by the officers Of the new
company that the subscription books
ere open and that they wish every cit
izen in Americus who can do so to
take some stock in the company.
1t is the purpose of the manage
ment, according to the statement Civ
en- out by MIR. Clark as representa-
tive of the company, to make the COM
pany as near municipal OWNERSHIP
company as it is possible to make it.
With this purpose in view, subscrip-
tions for stock from the people of
Americus are solicited. If every share
of the stock could be owned by a diff
ferent citizen of Americus, it would
not make the company any more pop
ular or representative of the people
of the city than it is desired to make
it.
1t Is the purpose of the company TO
furnish the people of Americus with
a twenty-four hour current at rate
that will not exceed 9 cents per kilo-
watt hour, which is less, they claim,
than the people of the city are now
paying for their lights. All the ma
chinery of the plant is to be in du-
plicate, so that a continuous current
may be supplied without cessation.
This machinery is to be the latest and
iliooI up-to-udbe IHdt can pe ObCdlIleu,
so that the plant may be modern in
every particular.
Within short time it is expected
that the plans and specifications for
the new plant will have been COM
pleted. After these have been re-
ceived, it is the purpose of the man
agement to go to work at once in the
construction of the new plant. The
work will be done thoroughly and
carefully, according to the plans held
/ by the management, and it is hoped
