SNEAK Thief TOOK
some VALUABLE GOOIS
Entered Residence Through
Front Door

Even with Ed Bivins, the alleged
house burglar, behind the bars, I
is not safe to leave the front door
open at night. At the home of Mr.. w.
II. Estes a night or two ago the fam
lily went to supper, leaving the front
door unlocked.
A sneak thief entered and going to
one of the apartments, stole lot OF
jewelry from the dresser and also a
purse containing $65. The purse be-
longed to Mrs. Laura Rogers, a rela-

is still missing.

Friends of Mr.. Crawford Wheatley
are busily boosting him for a place
as one of the four delegates at large
from, the state to the national demo-
cratic convention which convenes in
Baltimore in the summer.
II will be recalled that Mr.. Wheat
ley was a delegate from this district
to the democratic national convention
which met in Denver, Col, four years
ago at which time he was honored
in many ways by the convention. He
was chairman of the transportation
committee of the convention and in
this capacity had charge of the train
from Georgia to Denver.
Mr. Wheatley cheered the heart of
the conductor of that train by per-
sonalIy raising among the delegates
aboard the sum of $100, which was
given to the conductor as "tip" and
as a token of appreciation of his
courtesy to the delegates en- route to
Denver. Mr.. Wheatley was also a
member of the notification committee
which gave official notification to the
nominee OF. the convention, having re-
ceived this appointment as repre-
preventative from the state of Georgia,

ing appointed on the committee from

CONTINUED PRAISE GIVEN
TO THE SPECIAL EDITION
People OF AmGFiCuS and This Section Are Enthusiastic
Over the Prospects Of Good to Be Accomplished
BY the Forward Edition

Continued praise is being given to
the Forward Edition of The Times
Recorder, which was issued recently
and which is being widely circulated
with beneficial results already felt
Nothing but good words have been
said concerning it, and they come from
every one who has seen the edition.
There are so many who have spoken
in kindly manner concerning the eff
| forts of The Times-Recorder to give
such widespread publicity to this city,
county and section that it is difficult
to get space to record these testimon-
ials. Only few of the many that
are being received can be given.
The chorus of praise that has aris-
en- since the appearance of the For
ward Edition last Sunday has been
continuous, and it has been of such
genuine and widespread origin that
there can be no doubt that the great
est enthusiasm has been aroused in
Americus and this section wherever a
copy of this edition has been seen.
Among the good things said about
the special edition recently are the
following:
"It is a most creditable edition"
said Captain John A. Cobb, ordinary
of Sumter county ut is a credit not
only to the staff and management of
The Times-Recorder, but to the city
and section which is so well adver-
tised and illustrated. 1t is such a
demonstration of the resources and
possibilities of this section as our own
people need occasionally to wake them
up to the brighter prospects of the
future. 1t should do great good for
all time"
THE special edition is certainly a
good thing" said Mr.. w. T. Lane. "It
is just the thing that the city and
section have needed for long time. /
am glad it has been gotten out and
gotten out so well and thoroughly.
hope it will do so much good as to
repay fully the efforts that have been
expended upon it, for such a splendid
edition deserves a reward for all who
have helped in its issdance."
"The Forward Edition of The Times
Recorder is we'll prepared and is an
excellent advertising medium for this
section," said Mr.. G. NJ Eldridge, vice
president of the Bank of Southwestern
Georgia. "It represents painstaking
trouble and thorough handling of the
various phases of the commercial and

The revolt OF many OF the Roosevelt
delegates in the convention was open
from the moment the permanent roll
containing the names of contested del
egates was approved.
A "valedictory" statement was read
in behalf of Col. Roosevelt asking that
his name be not presented and that his
delegates sit in mute protest against
all further proceedings.
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates in the Illinois and all in the
Missouri and Idaho delegations de-
clined to follow this advice, but Col.
Roosevelt's sway over delegations
from California. Kansas. Maine. Min
nesota, Nebraska, New Jersey. Pom.
gylvania. South Dakota and West Vir-
Iinia was all but absolute.
Most OF the delegates from these
states announced their purpose of
aelping give Mr.. Roosevelt an inde-
pendent nomination at another hall
later in the evening.
The split in the convention ocoa-
Iioned no surprise. It was but full

made during the last several days.

Senator La Toilette was placed be-

Chicago.-Former President Theo-
dore Roosevelt was nominated for
President on an Independent ticket
Saturday night, in the dying hours Of
the Republican National convention
in which he had met defeat.
The followers of Col. Roosevelt gath
cred in Orchestra hall, less than
mile from the Coliseum, and pledged
their support to the former President.
In accepting the nomination Col.
Roosevelt appealed to the people Of all
sections, regardless of party affilia-
tions, to stand with the founders of the
new party. one of whose cardinal prin-
ciples, he said, was to be, "Thou shalt
not steal"
"Thou Shalt Not Steal" to Be Slogan.
The informal nomination OF Col.
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose of effecting temporary
organization. Beginning Immediately
the work OF organization will be
pushed forward rapidly, state by state.
Col. Roosevelt in accepting the NOM
lnation told the delegates that he did

to their homes, find out fully the senti-
ment and wishes of the people they
represented, and that they would
again assemble, at some other city,

new party decide to declare for an
other standard bearer.
It was said that in all probability
the convention Of the new party would

ment among the delegates that that

IMPORTANT MEETING OF
THE CALUMET TOWNSHIP
BOARD TOMORROW MORNING

Tomorrow's regular monthly meet
ing of the Calumet township board
will be an important one. Clerk Geo.
Martin has several important matters
to bring forward. One of these is his
advocacy Of new registration books
for the several precincts
The OLE registration books have
practically outlived their usefulness.
They contain the names of scores of
voters who have either left this part
of the country or are dead. and in adj
clifton there is little space left TO record
the names OF new voters. Mr.. Martin
believes the time is ripe for the in
PRODUCTION of new set of registra-
ton books.
To avoid confusion, at the approach
ing registration and election in Calu-
met township. provided the new regis
tration books are ordered. the clerk
will see that the clerks of the election
boards are supplied with the old reg
istration books as well as the new
ones. In this way, voters who are on
the old registration books and who do
not attend the precincts on registra-
tion day will he enabled to vote nc.
cording TO former registration, but the
clerks will transfer their names from
the old To the new books.
Clerk Martin will also ask the board
&C. change No. ] precinct from the Hec-
la Mining captains office to the Calu-
met Light Guard Armory He states
the latter place is more convenient.
The board tomorrow will designate
the number of delegates from each OF
tho thirteen precincts to attend the
annual township convention. The
board has the right. according to the
vote cast I'm each precinct to say how
many delegates each precinct is cnti-
tied TO. II is known that the Wover-
inc precinct will have one delegate
less ana that Copper City will be en-
titled 10 this delegate.

CHURCHES MUST GIVE
SUPPORT TO MEN AND
RELIGION MOVEMENT
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
by Rev. d. d. Stalker.

The men and religion forward move
ment! What Is its meaning and aim ?
Its aim is to win men and boys for
christ and the church and to enlist
them in service for others. The
movement had its incentive in the
realization that only small proper
ton OF mcn-contraSted with the num-
Der of men IN the wOrld-are openly
committed to the cause of Christ, and
men in the church are rendering any
distinctively religious service to their
fellows. The men and religion forward
movement Is an attempt to remedy
these conditions.
The campaign begins i'm Calumet
Friday evening. With what prospects
OF success does the undertaking set
out? That depends upon the energy
and unanimity with which the people
of the community enter into il Are
the local churches going To look upon
the movement as a thing done for
them, or thing they are challenged TO
do for themselves? Is their share in
~ 10 pt applause iOf OtnCr men WORK,
or muscle outlay of their own?
Sentimentally. the attitude OF the
churches is very cordial. So far as I
know. there is no adverse criticism OF
the enterprise. Everybody seems to be
waiting for il intcrestedly. We trust
that 1t is not the curious waiting of
the bystander on the curbstone, to see
what kind OF a procession is present
~ to go by. Such a spirit courts fail
ure. The local churches mist realize
that this movement is theirs and they
must enter into it with zeal and rorti-
tude. HF
That which concerns us most is not
the movement In the nation at large.
which big men are running with big
speeches and big money, but the move
ment in our own community which no
body will run IL we don't. The ma
tional movement however, is making
the mass of citizens more thoughtful
about religion. Thar makes our OPP
portunity. Are we ready to take az
vantage of the opportunity?
