Tuesday morning at o'clock the polls at the Old Town building on Church street were opened. It was the first time in the towns history that the polls opened at that hour for d state or national election and the in novation was responsible in no small degree for the large vote that was boiled, as the early opening accom- modated many of the workers who had to leave town on morning trains.
 Tn previous elections the officials have been divided between the repub- licans and democrats because they have been the two main parties, but this precedent was changed Tuesday. The republicans got only one official Tuesday, in the person of Charles w. Snow as a ballot clerk. The rest of the election officials were progressives

SOUTHWICK
IN RECITAL
TOMORROW
Eminent ARTIST TO APPEAR
At Bell Music Studio TOmOr.
row Night

In securing Dean Southwick for her
first artist recital, Miss Bell feels she
has been most fortunate. DR.. South
wick ranks as one of the greatest ar
lists in his line and the people Of
Americus should be thoroughly alive
to the artistic treat offered them.
DR.. Southwick's enunciation, facial
expression, wonderful color effects
of infection and sympathetic grasp of
subject and character makes him one
of the few great ones in his chosen
line.
The Chautauqua Idea Magazine
says: Dean Southwick stands easily
at the head OF all interpreters of dra-
matte literature We have heard all
the great artists now before the pub
lie, and it is no injustice to any other
to say that Dean Southwick outranks
them all. Other artists have the
dramatic intensity, but lack the schol-
arly insight; others have the scholar
ly insight, but lack something of the
dramatic feeling, or perhaps the voice
or presence to body forth that which
they see in the great masterpiece.
Dean Southwick lacks no gift or grace
that might add to his superb success
in dramatic Interpretation of the great
tragedies"
An opportunity win be given the
people of Americus to hear this brill
liant recital that is to be given to-
morrow evening at the Bell studio

not availed themselves of the oppor-

TO RESUME HIS DUTIES There
Judge Crisp Returns to Ma.
tiORal Capital

Hon. Charles r. Crisp, representa-
tive-elect for the Third congressional
district, will leave Americus tonight
for Washington where until March
of the present congress he will re-
sumo his duties as house parliamenta-
rian to Speaker Champ Clark, which
position he has filled with ability dur
ing the recent session. Judge Crisp
will not enter upon his duties as d
member of the house until March,
when the incoming democratic admin
istration assumes the reins of gov
ernment. Until that time Hon. Dud-
ley M. Hughes remains the representa-
tive from the Third district of Geor-
gia.
Mrs. Crisp and Charles Crisp, Jr,
will remain in Americus until after
the Christmas holidays, when Judge
Crisp will come home for the vaca-
ton season. The family will return to
Washington In January, and will be at
home in an apartment there.
Judge Crisp is still the recipient
ally of letters from friends over the
istrict who desire his endorsement
or office. Not only do the mails bring
la full quota of applications, but the
requests are made personally, and by
long distance telephone calls Such
opportunities are more numerous now
than ever
II am very anxious to do everything
possible for my friends and my only
sorry is that the offices are not as
numerous as the applicants" said
Judge Crisp yesterday why, in some
instances, as with Shellman, there are
six to ten applicants for a postofics
appointment. All the applicants are
good democrats, and | believe that to
the victor belongs the spoils, but in
many cases the appointment OF the
present incumbent of an office holds
good for several years yet have
made no pledges, or promises, either
before or since the election, and my
policy will be to endorse the man
best qualified for an Office, and who
has the strongest endorsement of the
people of his community"

LAST NIGHTS SNOW USHERED
IN COLD THANKSGIVING DAY
Almost Unprecedented Early Snow Fall Here Last Evening
After Day That Had Been Unusually DiSagreeable
and Raw Snow Of Season and the Heaviest
in Years Brought Out Young America and Others

weather today.
Though the snow began, with a few
light fiurries that were as soft almost
as rain and melted quite as quickly,
the snow became harder later and
also fell more regularly and heavily.
The first evidence of snow was OBJ

of snow continued until late in the
night.
By o'clock the streets and house
tops had become white with the
snowy mantle cast over them by the
snowfall, while the snow was still
falling. The light rain that had been
falling also ceased, so that for time
there was practically nothing but a
light snow falling, which became firm
er and harder and did not melt so fast
as at first That the rain commenced
falling again later and largely ruined

Very early in the evening Young

the frosty visitors presence, and they
sailed forth with Comanche yells and
howls Of delight, despite the protests
of wondering parents, many of whom
felt as is they would like to get out
and roll a SNOWFALL themselves. 1t
was not long before the snow became
heavy enough for small snowballs to
be made, though many one had some
thing hard like a rock for a nucleus.
Reports of broken window lights up
town early in the evening was an indi-
cation of the substantial nature of
some of the snowballs.
