season, the people of Americus and
this entire section have shown their
appreciation of the effort made to
furnish them with a high class anna
teur production. The seat sale has
been very successful up to date, so
successful, in fact, that most of the
choicest seats have already been
sold. Those who would secure good
seats should not fail to apply early to-
day at Murray and Hooks Pharma-
cy.
There is every indication that the
seats remaining will go very rapidly
today. They will likely be closed out
early in the day, and standing room
will be at a premium before the day is
over The entire gallery will be re-
served for the use of white people,
so that there will be no Others among
the spectators. The scale of prices for
seats will be as follows; Orchestra
and boxes, 75c; dress circle, soc; gal
lery, 35c.
1t will be gratifying to the friends
of the hospital to know that the pro-
ceeds from the play will be practical
ly net, as the cost of the production is
to be very small. In the main modern
costuming will be used, so that the
cost in this particular is practically
nothing. There will be some especial
ly effective scenes, among them the
ballroom scene in the first act, and
the last two scenes in the second act
in which the Dream Dancers appear.

LARGE, REGISTRATION
IS STILL NOT THE HIGHEST
REMAINING TWO WEEKS MAY BRING OUT RECORD REGISTRATION HOWEVER
THOUGH THERE ARE ONLY 3S NAMES ON THE LIST UP TO THE PRESENT

While the registration for the ap-
preaching city bond election is very
representative up to date, it will not
be as large as was the registration for
the election last fall, unless it becomes
more spirited. 1t may be, of course,
that interest in registration may in
crease so rapidly in very short ime
that the list Will be swelled to very
large number, but that is not the indi-
cation now, with only 3S1 names on
the list
1t will he lceal'ed that the election

ballots in the election. This was prob
ably a record-breaking registration, as

This registration was also made in q
very short time, as only ten days in.

The present bond election will sbt
waged with vigor and energy from az
indications, but the registration is still
very much under what would be ex-

WEBSTER and
STEWART HAVE
FORMED CLUBS
BOYS OFFERED RICH PRIZES
Many Boys Have Already En-
rolled in These Clubs
Especial to Times-Recorder1

Preston, Ca, Feb. 28.-A Webster
county corn club for boys was organ
lied here today by Mr.. G. V. Cunning
ham, superintendent of the corn club
work for the United States govern
ment for Southwestern Georgia. with
large membership and prizes that
aggregate $100.
These prizes will be awarded to the
boys in Webster county between the
ages of 10 and 1S years who make the
best crops of corn during the present
year. The club here was organized
with an initial membership of twelve
boys, and there will likely be large
ly increased membership in a short
time, as the enthusiasm in the work
is very great.
In Stewart county club was like
"iSO VI 6ohASCd VIII ldi S6 ul0IHD0I~
ship and prizes to the amount of 5000
offered for the young farmers who
make the best crops of corn. Both of
these clubs give promise of rapid
growth and if wide influence upon the
young farmers.
All the other boys in either of these
counties who wish to join the club
should send their names to their
teachers or direct to Mr. G. V. Cum
ningham, at Tifton In this way they
will be regularly registered and will
be qualified to participate in the con-
test and to win the valuable prizes that
are offered.

their opening was made, so that daily
opportunities have been presented to
the voters of the city to place their
names on the registration list. City
Clerk and Treasurer Harvey Weaver
has kept the registration books con-
stantly accessible to any qualified vot-
er for the placing of his name on the
list as is required by law.
The attention of all the citizens of
Americus is called to the fact that the
registration books will close March Is,
five days prior to the holding of the
election, which will occur March 20.
From this it may be seen that there
remain only fifteen days in which
they may enter their names on the list.
The registration will likely be more
spirited within the next two weeks
than it has been since the announce
ment of the opening of the lists was
made.

Blind TIGERS WERE SENTENCED IN
THE RECORDERS COURT YESTERDAY
Dk Frazier and Gus n We're Found Guilty Of Violation and Sentenced By Mayor
Mathis W. S!appCy and Walter Query We're Turned Loose After Hearing
Before Mayor Pro Tenn DOnne Of $1OO or 60 Days Was Imposed

Yesterday was Blind Tiger" day in
the recorders court, and the trial of
these cases consumed practically the
entire day. AS a result of the hear
ings before Mayor Mathis and Mayor
Pro Tenn. Bolton, two tigers We're CIV
en- sentences and two were set free.
The two violators of the prohibi-
ton law who were convicted were
Dink Frazier and Gus Anglin, while L.
W. Slappey and Walter Guerry were
set free. The sentence imposed upon
Frazier and Anglin was 500 in each
case, or 60 days.
The first cases that were tried were
those docketed against L. w. Slappey
and Walter Guerry. These were heard
before Mayor Pro TEN. Bolton, as
Mayor Mathis had been a witness to
the procedure made by the officers in
arresting these two men. Demurrers
were filed by the defense, but they
were overruled.
The hearing of these two cases con-
sumed practically all of the morning
session. Testimony was introduced as
to many persons having seen people
entering and leaving the place of busi-
ness occupied by these men on Lee
street. Mayor Pro Tenn. Bolton gave
as his reason for having freed the
men the claim that the place in which
the liquor was kept was not their
place of business.
In the afternoon Mayor Mathis
heard the cases against Dink Frazier
and Gus Anglin, both of which were
made out as the result of a raid made
January l upon the places of business
occupied by these men. 1t will be
recalled that a quantity of liquor was
seized at that time, which has been
kept as evidence against these men.
In the case of Frazier negro wit
ness was introduced to show that
whisKey had been bought from Fra
zier at his place of business on Cot
ton avenue. The license given to Fra
zier from the federal government,
made out to Dan Perryman & Compa-
ny, was also seized and introduced
yesterday as evidence, especially since
it was shown that shipments of freight
had been delivered to the firm of Per-
rvman e Company. Chief of Police
Barrow and Policemen Bragg and
Johnson were among the witnesses in
troduced against Frazier The evil
dence was sufficiently clear for Mayor
Mathis to adjudge Frazier guilty and
to fine him 500 or 60 days
In the case of Gus Anglin it was
shown by the testimony of Hop Hamp-
ton, a negro barber, that Hampton
/ had secured whiskey from Anglin's
place of business on Cotton avenue. In
this case an objection was raised to
the trial of the case in the recorders
court on the ground that the court had
no jurisdiction in the case, as the state
relegated to itself the right of pun
ishing violations of the prohibition law
as regards the sale of whiskey. Mayor
Mathis imposed the same fine upon

This work he followed for two years at the end of which time he resigned to take up a po- sition with the Crossett Lumber Go. at Crossett, Ark, where he stayed for over two years.

Diet md Disease.

There are two classes of al. sease. One results from excess in protein waste products. and in- cludes those diseases referable to the central neavous system, as headache, nervousness, insomnia and such abnormal conditions due to irritation caused by waste ma- terial in the blood and nerve tissue. The other class results from deposites of nric acid and other waste products in the muscles and less delicate tissues, and produces rheumatism. gout and kindred diseases. One of the first things physician does for a patient suffersng from rheumatism is to restrict the amount of fleahneat and other protein used. If this is necess- ary to cure the disease, wns not adopt the plan in order to prevent the disease:
 The kidneys are the organs which eliminate the waste pro- ducts. When overworked by excess of this waste in the blood, the kidneys fail and kidney disease results. This. Of course, is not the only cause for this disease, but is one important cause, More or less obstruction to 'blood-flow is offered by waste matter in the system, and the small arteries are hardened, making greater blood pressure necessary in order to foree the blood through the tissues. The blood-vessels are hardened and rendered brittle by the waste ma ] terial. -Dr. w. A. Ruble, in June Life and Health, Washington, D. IC.
