limits of Americus, and these shall
be kept in an iron safe, vault or SIM
liar receptacle. where they shall b.
protected from shock or fire.
Be it further ordained by the afore-
said authority that all ordinances or
parts of ordinances in conflict with the
same be and hereby are repealed"
The passage of this ordinance comes
as the result of a suggestion made by
Mr. John Sheffield of the Sheffield
Huntington Company, at meeting OF
council some time ago, when the need
of some precaution in the handling
and storage of dynamite was made
known by Mr. Sheffield and the request
was made that any information be
made known as to whether the city
then had an ordinance relative to the
matter, 1t was discovered that no or
dinance existed relative to dynamite.
30 that the ordinance passed recently
came as result of the action taken
at that time to have such legislation
framed.

WARLICk SALE
WILL CONTINUE
MuIn,0 HEENUFH
In ORDER TO REMODEL STORE
Choice Bargains Will Continue
For Some Time

Ali who have wished to enjoy the
bargains offered at Warlick Bros
sale, as well as those who have al
ready availed themselves of the many
things offered there at such low
prices will be pleased to know that
the big sale; which was to have been
discontinued last night, will go on
until further notice is given.
The management of the store has
decided to remodel the store down
stairs and to move the ready-to-wear
from the upper floor to the lower
floor, also closing out the mems and
boys clothing, so that complete re-
modelling of the lower floor will oc
cur. This will mark a great change
in the. .Warlick store and will place
it strictly up-to-date in every feature:
In order to make these changes in
remodeling and renovating the build
ing on Lamar street, it is necessary
for the stock of goods to be reduced
as low as possible. For this reason
everything in the store will be sol I
as long as the special sale continues
at remarkably low prices. This in
cludes everything, even the fresh,
new spring goods that have just been
received. Nothing will be reserved,
but everything in stock will be of
fered at these very low prices.
AS there are so many calls for the
splendid line of Ladies Ready-to- Wear
that the Warlick store offers, the
moving of this department from the
upper to the lower floor will be greet
ed with approval by all the ladies of
the city, who in the future may in
spect these goods without being COM
pelled to go upstairs to see them. The
upper floor will be used in the fu-
ture mainly for carpets, art squares.
rugs, mattings, house furnishings and
similar lines.
The big sale will continue today
just as it did yesterday and the day
before, when the store was so crowd
ed with customers that it was almost
impossible to wait on them. The bar
gains are there in abundance-at the
Warlick store-and every one who
wishes to avail himself of them may
do so for some time to come. No end
for the sale has been announced, and
it will be continued until further no.
tice. All the goods that are offered at
such low prices will go rapidly as the
sale progresses.

SATSUMA ORANGES SOON TO
Be CULTIVATED IN SUMTER
S,74O Trees VIII Arrive Soon to Be Set Out on the
HuguGDin Plantation

In few days now shipment of g.
74O Satsuma orange trees is expected
to arrive at the Huguenin plantation
from the nurseries at Glen st. Mary
Florida. This is the beginning Of
the cultivation of oranges in Sumter
county.
The setting out of these trees will
begin at once AS with pecan trees,
the holes will probably be dynamited
to secure for the trees the benefits that
accrue from this modern process. The
work will be rushed as rapidly as pos
sible in order to get the entire or
chard in place before the real warmth
of spring sets in.
These trees will be put out in the
pecan orchard. Two of the Satsuma
orange trees will be put between two
pecan trees, there being fifty feet OF
space between the latter. The orange
trees do not grow to a great size, be-
ing more like a pomegranate bush and
do not interfere with the development
of the pecan trees.
The Satsuma trees to be set out have
been grated by the nursery on the
roots of the wild citrus, tree that is
native to this section and exceedingly
hardy. The Satsuma itself is very
hardy specie of the tangerine or kid
glove variety of orange. 1t has been
known to begin bearing the second
wear after grated stock has been SCI
out, growing rapidly, and becomes d
very handsome bush, or small tree, III
four or five years, then yielding abun-
dainty.
Experience elsewhere has shown
that the pecan trees will not require
the entire soil for period of ten tt
twelve years, by which time the Satsu'
ma orange trees will have fully an
swered their purpose as profit produc
ers and can be cut out
Next year it is proposed to plan
very heavily of both the pecans ant
the Satsuma orange trees on the Hu
guenin place. The total number o
, pecan trees at the end of the setting
out season this year will be two thous
and. Next year this will be more thai
doubled.
Great interest has been shown i
the orange experiment since the orig
, inal announcement in The Times-Re
corder, and the results will be await
ed by the nut growers generally wit
an eager desire to follow suit If tn
claims of the promoters are realized
r as expected.

MELDRIM CASE
MOVED FROM
FEDERAL COURT
TO CITY COURT OF SAVANNAH
Jurisdiction of Noted Case
Changed Again

News come from Savannah that the
damage suit of Mrs. Johnnie Meldrim,
of Americus and Cordele, temporary
Administrative of the estate of Rob
ert Lee Meldrim, against the Seaboard
railroad, has again been moved to the
City Court of Savannah, from the Unit
ed States court. The suit for heavy
damages. it will be recalled, was orig
inally brought by Mrs. Meldrim in the
City court at Savannah and then mo,-
ed by her attorneys, oliver & oliver
to the United States court. The mean
ing of the chancge back to the City
court is not known here.
This suit is entirely distinct from
the proceedings in the Sumter court
over the insurance carried by the late
engineer. In this case, it will be re-
called, an attack was made on Mrs.
Meldrim's position as the widow of the
deceased, the claim being put up tina.
the divorce proceedings in Dakot 4
were not recognized in Georgia as
valid. This contention was set aside
by Judge Cobb, in the Court of Ordi-
nary, who sustained the position OF
Mrs. Meldrim and granted her letters
of administration. The case was car
ried to the Superior court, where i,
was again decided in favor of Mrs
Meldrim, and was then carried on ap.
peal to Atlanta, where no decision has
yet been rendered. .
Great interest is felt here in bott
of the cases. Mr.. Meldrim was killee
in an accident west of Americus ant
the suit for heavy damages promise
to be long drawn out. 1t is understoo,
that a compromise payment has bee
rendered and declined. Mrs. Meldrir
had just completed her musical edu
cation when the death Of her husban
came. Since then she has been cor
nected with Miss Bells school, an
now has charge of the branch scho,
at Cordele.

A CARD TO
THE PUBLIC

AT the mass meeting of the Citizens
Club on Tuesday night Mr.. Lee Allen,
one of the speakers, took occasion to
refer in a sarcastic manner to the
sale of advertising space in the Times
Recorder to the Americus Gas and
Electric Company, prefacing his re-
marks with the inquiry "Who is edit
ing the Times-Recorder these days,
Mr.. Gamble or the lighting company"
and following this with an allusion TO
the large space recently occupied in
the columns of the Times-Recorder by
the lighting company.
In reply to these remarks by Mr..
Allen | desire to state now, as | stated
to the meeting in question at once
that the advertising space of the
Times-Recorder is open to any corpor-
alton or individual or political organ
ization in this city or county who de-
sires to utilize it, in an advertising
way, whether it be for the exploitation
of merchandise or for the expression
of views-as long as they are not libel
lous or indecent or intended to disturb
the public peace. The Americas Gas
and Electric Company has just as
much right to buy space and use It
for advertising purposes, in its own
way, to place it's side of a controversy
before the public, as Mr.. Allen has to
buy space and use it for the real estate
business in which he is engaged.
Every advertisement of the lighting
company in the Times-Recorder is
clearly and Enthusiastically an adver-
tisement on its face. AS / stated to
the mass meeting, in reply to Mr. AL
len, there is no deceit and conceal
ment about these advertisements.
Everything is plain and open on the
face. Every advertisement of the
lighting company or the opponents OF
the bond issue shows that 1t is an ad-
vertisement and no one who reada
them but knows that they are adver-
tisements. Full rates are paid for
them and the same privilege is open to
any one desiring space. That is what
a newspapers advertising columns are
| for.
In the last campaign the Citizens
Club, of which Mr.. Allen is member
and orator, bought space with thu
Times-Recorder and used it for tha
publication of cards and communica-
tions. No one questioned the propriety
of this, no one doubted its legitimate
right to do so. 1t has exactly the same
privilege this year, or next yeay. There
is nothing dishonorable, there IL moth
ing improper there is nothing unfair
: there is nothing discreditable. in sell
l ing advertising space to either side in
a controversy of this character as
long as the reading public is shown
that they are advertisements.
MIR. Aliens remarks were uncalled
for, so far as this reference was con-
) cerned. Efforts to arouse feeling unjust
5 ly or create false impressions. do not
) redound to the benefit of any cause.
: Very respectfully,
THOMAS GAMBLE, JR.

MAY PUT Us
IN With The
lST REGIMENT
WHOLE BATTALION MAY GO
To Fill Vacancies in the Sa-
VaDnah Regiment

Although no definite information u
THAT effect has been received the
statement is made, on what seems to
be reliable authority, that the Ameri-
cus Light Infantry will soon be at
rached to the First Regiment with
beadouarters at Savannah, taking the
nlace of the company at Thomasville
that has been ordered disbanded.
AS things now are, the companies at
Americus, Albany and Columbus COM
prise an independent battalion. 1t is
the impression that these three com
panies will be thrown into the First
regiment. There is likelihood that
the Waycross company will disband
and as the Valdosta company is
deceased, this would create the neces-
sarv vacancies in the make up of the
First Regiment.
A report from Savannah says
Since the disbandment of Com
panies A and B of the First Regiment
of Infantry, located at Thomasville
and Valdosta respectively, by Major
F. l.. Palmer, the inspector general of
the state, at the annual inspection
this year, a movement has been plan
ned to reinforce the regiment with
the three companies now composing
the fourth independent battalion of
infantry
In discussing the situation this
morning, Col. NJ. j. O'Leary, the COM
mander of the First Regiment, stated
that it was almost certain that this
would be done. The companies are
Company C at Columbus, Company +
at Albany and Company L at Ameri-
Gus. The battalion is commanded by
Major H Mozen of Columbus.
This action has been decided upon
instead of attempting to reorganize
the three companies which have been
disbanded this year. There is not a
sufficient amount of interest shown at
present among the former members
of the companies, or in the towns in
which the companies were located, to
warrant an attempt being made to re-
yiVe the organizations.
In the case of the Thomasville
Guards, Col OLeary says a request
was made to disband the company
rather than put it on probation. The
commanding officer of the company is
thoroughly capable, Col. OLeary says,
but owing to the fact that it was inn
possible to insure the attendance OF
thirty-tive men at twenty-four drills
as required, it was thought best to dis
band the organization In the case of
the Valdosta company general ineff1c-
lency caused it to be disbanded.
While Major Palmer has not signi-
ned the intention of recommending
that the Waycross organization, Co. F
be disbanded, Col. O'Leary says thai
It is not improbable that this will be
done in the near future"

INFALLIBLE SIGNS OF SPRING
NOW MANIFESTED EVERYWHERE
No Longer Any Reasonable Doubt That the Season Of Gen.
tie Springtime is Now Very Much in Evidence

Ed Littleton send in fattering re-
ports concerning the next blackberry
crop.
Will Green Turpin has switched
from the chicken incubator to the
Wells Mill proposition and is ready
for the spring fishing-another good
sign that the worst is over. Other an
glers are locating bait beds and look
ing over their stock of jugs prepara-
tory to entering the campaign.
Only the millinery openings are
lacking to insure the advent of spring
and the man behind the bonnet bill
trembles in apprehension of that dol
lar-separating era which comes as
sure as death and taxes.

TO PROTECT CITY
AGAINST DANGER
FROM DYNAMITE
AN ORDINANCE WAS PASSED
Provides For Storage Of This
Explosive

In accordance with a suggestion that
was made recently, council at its last
session passed an ordinance relative
to the storage and care of dynamite.
The rapidly growing use of this ex-
plosive for agricultural and other use
full purposes made necessary such an
ordinance.
The text of the ordinance is as fol-
lows:
BE it ordained by the mayor AMI
city council of Americus, and it Is
hereby ordained by the authority OF
the same, that it shall be unlawful for
any one to keep more than 1000 dyna
mite caps or detonators in the citS

REPORT IN
HANDS Of The
COMMISSION
GIVES DECISION NEXT WEEK WEEK
Will Be Governed in Its De-
CiSiOn By Report
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Atlanta, Ga, March 13-The Geor-
g1a Railroad Commission received to-
day from Expert G. R. Solomon. of
the Solomon, Norcross Company, his
report upon the appraisal of the ply
slcal property of the Americus Gas
and Electric Company.
The commission refused to divuIge
the report until it reaches its final
decision, which will probably be the
middle of next week A meeting of
the commission will be held early next
week, when final decision will be
reached.
The company, it will be recalled, ap-
praised all of its property at approx
imately $2S0,OOO, while the city,
through it's city engineer, put before
the commission an appraisement of
the total value of the company's prop
erty at $4,000.
The tremendous disparity between
these two estimates forced the COM
mission to act on it's own initiative.
AS result it secured the services of
Expert Solomon who spent several
days in Americus, making an exhaus-
tive study of the physical property of
the company. 1t is generally UNDER
stood that the commission will be gov
erned in it's action by the report made
by this disinterested expert, having
discarded the appraisements made by
the city and the company.
