A valued addition to the number OF
artesian wells in Americus was made
yesterday when Contractor James, who
has been boring we'll upon the
Windsor hotel property for Mr.. L. G.
Council, struck stream at depth of
about 300 feet The artesian flow from
this great depth comes to within q
short distance of the surface, as ex-

Mr.. Council is highly gratitied at

benefit to the hotel, which he owns.
but to the public at large. Mr.. James
expressed the opinion in the begin
ming that he could get artesian water
at the depth of 800 feet; and results
justify the correctness of his esti-
mate.
The flow from this new well VIII

been seen on the local diamond, anil
his coming will be hailed with pleas

teams are already being gotten ready
in these places to play the locals.

CLOSE VOTE
NOW CAUSE
OF CONTEST
In The COUNTY OF TERRELL
The ShGFifi'S Race Was Red
Hot One

Dawson, Ga, May 4.-What was one
of the quietest and most uninteresting
political contests ever known in Ter
rell county was suddenly transformed
into an exceedingly live issue at the
conclusion of the count of the ballots
Wednesday night
The only county Office for which
there was contest was thai of sher-
iff, the opposing candidates being
Sheriff M. G. Hill and Chief of Police
j. q. Tuner Notwithstanding that
both men are popular and haze
strong friends the campaign moved
along quietly and seemingly with but
little interest on the part of the gen
-eral public. each side being confident
of winning, but at the same time ad-
mitting that the race was close And
the fact that it turned out to be close
"a little closer than it was expected
to be by anybody-is the cause of
SAAS oiCuetIAOA oO COllpISISly
changed.
When the precincts had all been
heard from and the count at the court
house completed it was shown that
Sheriff Hill had won by the narrow
marign of six votes. Turner came to
the courthouse. with majorities aggre-
eating 49 votes, and the precinct of
Dawson gave Hill a majority of SO.
Notice of Contest Given.
When the executive committee met
Thursday to consolidate the vote they
were petitioned by Attorneys Yeomans
4 Gurr, representing M
not to declare the result until a con-
test to be filed by him could be fully
heard. 1t was alleged that so votes
had been illegally poled for Hill, and
that Turner had been nominated by
a majority of so votes.

RECITALS AT
HIGH SCHOOL
ARE WORTHY
ON MONDAY and TUESDAY
To Be Given By a RGCOgDiz.
ed Expert

Every one in the city who is inter.
ested in the presentation of Shakes

foreign countries, Mr.. Williams ha'
recently given these recitals for th'
high schools at Augusta, Macon, AT
lanta. Jacksonville and many othe
cities. where he was cordially re

is unexcelled for the parents of tn
students and the people at large il
the city to enjoy two evenings of un
usually good work that is both arts
tic and popular in its handling an
management. 1t is hoped that a yer
large attendance will be present o

gained, above all necessary expenses
!, will go toward promoting the study
the classics in the English departmer
| of the High school and the general in

kind deeds done and consideration for
friends.
A man who, out of tireless energies
in labor, absolute fidelity to trust,
never-failing response to the call of
his fellow man, love for family and
friend, patriotism for country. and
prudent and wise direction of cares
entrusted to him has wrought for him
self-a Georgian as he is, blood and
bone-a name which reflects credit
upon himself and honor upon our
state.
This man, Honorable Thomas 4.
Hudson, we heartily commend to the
people of Georgia as altogether fit and
worthy of the high office of governor
and in his selection, the Empire State
of the South will possess a chief ex-
ecutive of whom she may well be
proud.

WHEATLEY TO
RECEIVE The
NOMINATION
AS A DELEGATE AT LARGE
So His Friends Here Firmly
Believe

1t is the belief of the many friends
here of Mr.. Crawford Wheatley that
he will receive the nomination by the
state democratic convention in At
lanta soon as one of the delegates at
large to the national democratic con-
vention, which is to convene in Balti-
more this summer for the purpose of
nominating candidate for president.
The wide popularity of Mr. Wheatley
in the party not only here, but also
throughout the state, makes him loom
up as logical candidate for one of
the places as delegate at large from
the. state to the Baltimore convention.
He is eminently fitted and qualified to
act as a representative of the state in
IHlo SdpdSICgJ anu II Is the uIll D6lleL
of his friends that he will receive one
of the nominations at the state con-
vention.
The consensus of opinion here fav-
ors the appointment of eight delegates
at large to the Baltimore convention,
and it is believed that the convention
will undoubtedly appoint this number
to represent the state. This is be-
lieved to be the best solution of the
question as appointment of eight DEL
egates insures a fair and quitable re-
presentation for each section of the
state, which might not prove to be the
result in case a smaller number of
delegates is appointed.

Civilization and the Church

If the church is living "too
much for Christianity and too lit
tie for civilization" it needs not
to live less for Christianity, but
more for civilization. r. Fulton
Cutting, a leader both in dlstinc-
tive church circles and in humanl-
tartan work, made the above
charge in lecture on 1.-The
Church and Society,"" before the
New York School of Philanthro-
by. 1t is quite true, as Mr.. Cut
ting said, that with many church
es mere self-preservation is con-
slant struggle. In the efforts to
increase their membership and to
preserve their existence, they lose
social vision and neglect social
opportunity. Yet in this field of
service they would find a new
lease of life.
The church may well be warn
ed to keep out of party politics,
but it makes a grievous mistake
if it concerns not itself with nom
partisan municipal reform or if it
has not something to say concern
ing the broad problems of our
government in these days of agi-
tation against the Constitution.
On the social and liquor evils, the
constant warfare to suppress gam
bling, tenement-house reform,
etc, the church, as representing
the highest moral standards,
should present united front.
From declarations of churches we
have already had some contribu-
tions along this line. The practical
work accomplished by the con
ventions of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement gives prom
Use that we may have much more
public and social work on the
part of the men of the churches
than ever before.
Not less attention should be
given to distinctively church prob
lens, but more to those questions
of civilization affecting the veal
of all.-Leslies.

ROOSEVELT ROASTiES

The events of last week, thinks
the New York Evening Post, Re
duce Mr.. Roosevelt's candidacy to the
absurd" This contestant OF the
olonel goes on to say:
at can no longer be preten.l-
ed that he has the ghost Of a
chance to get a majority IN the
Convention.
The mathematics of the sllua-
ton are fatal to him. With New
York against him; with Indiana
against him; with Colorado four
to one against him without del
egate from either Iowa or Wiscon-
sin, where is he to turn! The
plain fact is that little is left of
his campaign but anger, wrath,
malice, and all uncharitableness.
His managers shout fraud and
larceny He himself cries farce
and outrage, to such wild char
ges and rump conventions and
contests in every possible dis
trict, the glorious Roosevelt cam
paign. 1t was going to sweep the
country; it is, in fact, everywhere
making showing which is pitt
full and humiliating.
"The whole spectacle which
he presents today is pathetic in
the extreme; and for the sake of
his own fame, and in order that
his brilliant career may not go
out like a lamp with bad smell,
his true friends ought from this
moment to make every effort to
induce him to withdraw from a
contest where, it is painfully evil
dent, he has nothing to gain and
everything to lose.
"To Theodore Roosevelt, so
long the spoiled child of good
fortune, much has had to be for
given; and now the ruthless SUI
perman, instead of gaining the
end for which he has overridden
antique Illusions of the weak,
such as friendship and honor,
sprawls in the mire, shaking his
fist impotently and bowling his
rage, a spectacle to mankind"
1t is easy for some politicians
to mistake the call Of the wild
for the call of the people.
Teddy should have told Taft
four years ago that he was only
lending it to him.
Colonel Roosevelt mentioned no
names in his latest reference to
good trusts, but we thought we
detected faint blush of modesty
on the damask cheek of the United
States Steel Corporation.
Roosevelt will not get the No
bel Peace Prize this year.
1t is the Taft opinion that a
dog running without third-tell
license ought to be kicked aroun(
Colonel Roosevelt had no de-
sire to rum" but from the way
Taft is going it looks as if he will
have to.
