terest in showing the progress of the
school
All of - Sc extracts have been
collected and combined into a neat
bulletin that tells in the words of
others what the school is accomplish
ing for the good of agricultural ed
ucation. In addition to words of COM

which are most favorable to the col

The first page of the bulletin gives
in concise form the following inter

sturents registered during present
term, 147; teachers in faculty, 6; num-
ber of boys admitted, III; girls, 80,

Students are still entering the
courses at the College, notwithstand
ing the fact that the season is far
advanced. Every week brings addi-
tional students, and they will con-
tinue to enroll right up to the close OF
the session. The number of students
now enrolled and engaged in the
work of the College is most crafty
ing, and it is certain that next years
enrolment will be the largest eve,
known, as the new dormitors will thea
be ready for use.

than Jack Slaton, who is generally
cast as the man he will have to defeat
to win the prize. Slaton has no per-
sonal acquaintanceship to compare
with that of Hudson, who probably
personally knows more men in Geor~
gia than any other half dozen men in
it. The Albanian, too, cannot excel
the South Georgian in the pleasing
qualities of address that appeal to
voters, nor has he that thorough and
practical knowledge of every part of
the state that is peculiar to Hudson as
a result of his extensive travels in
his capacity as commissioner of agri
culture. Slaton is good stump
speaker, but when it comes down to

Will find Hudson a man worthy of his

Fricnds of Judge Crisp were great
ly delighted with the news from At
lanta that assured him that the most
formidable man already in the field
against him had withdrawn. While
the other opposition is not to be dis
counted Judge Crisp's friends feel that
the chief existing barrier to his am
bition to represent the district in
congress has been removed by Col.
Hudson's determination to try for
the governorship. At the same time
it is recognized that the element of
uncertainty is not absent until it Is
known that other candidates will nos
enter the race. If Judge Littlejohn's
host of friends in the district should
prevail upon him to consider the mat
ter favorably and enter the field an
entirely different complexion would
come upon the situation. Judge Lit
tlejohn, it is recognized, would be
one of the strongest candidates who
could enter the race. But without
such a change in the situation 1t is
felt by Judge Crisp's friends that he
is assured of the nomination by a
very substantial majority vote in the
convention. 1t is recognized, though,
that work must be done to make this
assurance doubly sure and it is be-
lieved that in the near future renewed
activity will mark the campaign from
the Crisp standard. Judge Crisp will
remain in congress at Washington un-
til congress adjourns, unless the ses-
sion is carried away beyond what is
now anticipated. He is expected home
in the late spring to resume the work
of touring the district and meeting the
voters individually and collectively

Will MAKE TRIP
To BUENA VISTA
ARRANGEMENTS Completed
BuGna Vista People Anxious
to See Play

That the local players will go to
Buena Vista to give performance of
THE Lost Jewels of Hotchjcotchj"
there, seems now practical certainty.
Arrangements are being rapidly COM
pleted with that end in view, and the
plans will likely all be ready within a
very short time
The arrangements have been made
tentatively with Mr.. Leroy Hirshberg
to take the local company to Buena
Vista for a performance that evening
the trip over and return being made
on a special train. The arrangements
for this are yet to be completed, but
the Central officials who will have the
arrangements in hand for this will
come to Americus today and talk over
matters with members of the company
who have tentatively assumed busi-
ness charge of the arrangements.
The offer of the management of the
opera house at Buena Vista is to give
the local company three-fourths of
the gross receipts of the performance,
no guarantee being given in case of
rain or other interference with the
prearranged schedule. With he
crowd that is promised by rne mana.
ger of the Buena Vista opera house
the performance should be made 8
paying one.
All arrangements concerning the
departure and return of the specia
train, which is contemplated for tine
occasion will be perfected today anC
an announcement concerning 1t made
later on. 1t will likely leave abou
5:15 o'clock in the afternoon, return
ing about midnight, or as soon after
the close of the performance as il
convenient The entire company will
make the trip to Buena Vista, IL plans
are arranged satisfactorily.

BOY SCOUTS TO
BATTLE WITH THE
ALBANY PLAYERS
AT FOUR this AFTERNOON
At the Local \. N. c. A.
Building

An innovation in the way of an af-
ternoon basket ball game will be
played this afternoon between the 10
cal Boy Scouts and those represent
ing Albany. The game will be called
promptly at 4 o'clock, so that it may
be played and disposed of before
the debate to be hel dat the High
School at night, also giving the Al
bany scouts the opportunity of return
ing to that city at Z o'clock, instead
of being delayed to catch a late nighs
train.
The rivalry between the boys teams
of the two cities has been as strong
as that between the first teams, 81
tat the game this afternoon will be a
decisive one. The Albany boys coma
to make good the decision in their
favor, while the locals are said to be
in fit trim to give the visiting scouts a
good run for their money. There is
no doubt that the game will be a
most exciting one. Secretary Murray
unn, of the Y. M. C. A., will act as
referee.
A small admission fee of only 10
cents will be charged to each one who
wishes to see the game. 1t is desired
that all who attend will be present
promptly at o'clock, so that the
game may begin as scheduled. The
lineup Of the locals will be as fol-
lows: Miller and Payne, forwards,
Macarthur, center; Gartner and Ry-
lander, guards.

The attendance at the meeting was
large and enthusiastic.
Among the speakers heard were
Messrs. Lee Allen, ]. E. Sheppard, J.
E. Mathis, L. ]. Wagner and c. J.

this and Clark addressed those pres
ent in the manner in which they have
talked at various meetings of this
kind before, attacking the estimates
placed upon the physical property Of
the gas and electric company's plant
and urging the building of a new
plant and the support of the bond is,

sible Recent cards issued by the
opposition were taken up and answer
ed in detail
Probably the most interesting talk
of the evening was that made by Mr.
L. ]. Wagner of the firm of Walton &
Wagner, municipal engineers and con-
tractors, of Atlanta, who stated that
he was present at the meeting on ac-
count of the fact that he happena! -
be in he city and had been invited to
be present at the meeting. He spoke
heartily in favor of the city's owning
and operating it's own electric light
ing plant, saying that it had been his
experience that every city in whicn
he had installed municipality owne +!
and operated plants of this kind had
saved much money for their citizens
by adopting this course.
Suggestions were made by many
present with reference to the enlist
ing of the support of every one fav
oring the bond issue as a committee of
one to see that every friend of the
issue should register before the time
expires for registration II was the
concensus of opinion as sxpI essed by
the various local speakers, that if all
the friends OF tie bond issue would
register the election would be car
ried by a safe majority.

Atlanta, March Former Com
missioner of Agriculture Thomas G..
Hudson, this morning, after further
conference with strong political
friends, wired his home paper, The
Americus Times-Recorder, to with
draw his announcement as congress

Mr.. Hudson's telegram to Americus
was as follows:

state is so strong that feel it my duty

The final decision of Mr.. Hudson to
leave the congressional field and enter
the race for governor did not come
without long study of the political
situation and repeated conferences
with leading men from all parts of the
state. For the past few weeks there
has been tremendous pressure
brought to bear upon the Sumte-
county man to discard his ambition to
represent his district in congress and
become a candidate for governor of
the state. Commissioner Hudson re-
sisted these apeals from friends, polit-
ical supporters and the public gener-
ally He had decided to make the
congressional race, feeling assured OF
a victory, and believing that he could
be of great assistance to the people
of his district, of Georgia and of the
South, as a member of the House OF
Representatives through his intimate
acquaintance with Southern agricul-
ture, its needs and opportunities. The
assurances of support that had come
to him from every county in the Third
district were such as to leave no ques-
ton in his mind of an overwhelming
success in the approaching primary

London, March THE first message

Amundsen that Scott had reached the

The greatest interest has been ex-
cited by the strivings of explorers of

Captain Amundsen's arrival at Ho-

Captain Scott had been successful, has
increased the suspense as to details
as to whether the expeditions have
been successful, have hitherto been

Captain Scott are close personal

they parted, each to pursue his own

CHAPTER ~.

When Brockett's senses returned,
his head was humming and buzzing,
while strange, confused noises seemed
to struggle with one another for the
right TO add extra discomfort to his
dazed and throbbing brain. He pulled
himself to his knees, and was imme-
diately tumbled down again by the
fall OF some heavy body across his
back. A vigorously kicking foot, at.
tached to a squirming leg. caught him
In the side. and helped to drive the
dizziness away. A twisting mass.
Jerking and heaving spasmodically.
carromed against him, upsetting him
for the third time Just as he was re-
gaining his balance. Part or the mass
came almost under his own face as he
struck the walk, and, even In the dark
ness, he could recognize the features
of Mr.. Yazimoto, distorted with fury
and with pain. Brockett reached over,
clutched the throat OF the little man
with fast.returning strength, and
~strangled grimly. mercilessly, till the
Japanese lay limp and motiohless, all
the fight choked out OF him. Then a
small. solid figure climbed off the legs
of the PROSTATE prisoner. and sour.
ried in the direction OF the street
lamp. A moment later the light
cleaned out in all its pristine radi-
ance. giving the bewildered Brockett
a chance to survey the scene of bat
tie.
Mr.. Yazlmoto, very limp and very
i~noffensive, was stretched out under
Brockett's knees. Ten feet away Ra-
mon Solano was viciously kicking a
man who was still fighting, although
down and at an overpowering disad-
vantage. Evidently badly hurt, and
hardly able to drag himself along the
ground, this dauntless warrior was
trying to crawl to closer quarters with
