WILL CITY HAVE
MOUNTED MEMBER
OF POLICE FORCE?
SUGGESTION MADE RECENTLY
Matter Of Extra Policemen
to Be Considered

Americus may have a mounted po-
liceman, in order that the suburbs
and outlying sections of the city may
be properly patrolled, and with con-
sistency and regularity. This was
suggestion made at the recent ses
sion of city council, which may be
carried out, if it is found to be prac
ticable in a financial way.
The suggestion as offered to the
session of council contemplates
member, so that daily patrol of
the less frequently visited sections of
the city may be made, especially the
residence section, which is now prac..
tically without any protection of this
kind.
Whether or not the city is to have
the mounted policeman or is to have
the three, extra policemen, the latter
of which were recommended by the
pOiANG DIT llS TeCOHJ meet
ing, depends on the action that coun-
Gil will take after the report of the
fire and police committee, to which
the matter of the extra policemen has
been referred, will have been made.
This will give the board of aldermen
some definite course to consider,
whether the policemen viii be put
on or not.
Very little discussion of the mat
ter of the extra policemen was had a..
the recent meeting of council, but to
judge from the tenor of the discussion
as it was held, it would seem that a
majority of the members of council
are opposed to the action on the
ground of the extra expense that
would be incurred The maintenance
of the extra policemen, it is estimated,
would aggregate more than $4,000 per
year. This will probably defeat their
being added to the force.

transformers
HAVE RETURNED
FROM THE TRIP
THEY MADE TO BUENA VISTA
Had Good Time and Made
Expense Money

Tired and weary, the members of
the cast of THE Lost Jewels of
Hotchjcotchj" returned to AmericuS
on the Seminole Limited Wednesday
night, glad to announce that they
had enjoyed a good time and had made
enough money on the trip to pay for
the venture.
A good house greeted the perform
ance at Buena Vista. Nearly 250 seats
were sold for the appearance of the
amateurs there, who were Hospitality
received and treated during their stay.
The consensus of opinion among the
players as regards the production in
Buena Vista is that the performance
there was even better than the one
given here, though there were mani
fest handicaps in the way of staging
and lights which detracted from the
effect of the play. The hospitality and
cooperation of the Buena Vista man.
agement helped materially in reducing
expenses.
The fact that enough was cleared
from the venture to pay the heavy
expenses, is gratifying to the mem
bers of the cast. as it was hardly ex-
pected that any better financial re-
suits could have been obtained by the
presentation away from the city of q
play requiring so large cast. 1t is
not likely that there will be an!
further performances of "y: Los
Jewels of Hotchjcotchj."

MANY COLORED RATS
ARE LOOSED IN SEATTLE

Seattle, Wash, March 15.-If Seat
tie citizens fail to see brilliantly col.
ored rats scampering about the city
streets, it will not be because the
rats are not there.
Health department officials TODAY
liberated twenty-five dyed rats for
purpose of Identification. Each rat
has a price of two dollars on its heal
whether dead or alive. The purpose
is to trace the drift of the rodent pop
ulation, as it migrates from one Sec
ton of the city to another
"At this time of the year rats leave
the water front, where they stay dur.
ing the winter months, and make their
way to hills and residence portions OF
the city" said Health Commissioner

GEESE DIDN'T CAGKLE
WHEN PUT INTO SACK
Atlanta Woman Calls Historical Story
Myth.

Atlanta, March 14.-Mrs. Vistori2
d. Seals is thoroughly convinced that
the story about the cackling geese that
saved Rome is the biggest whopper in
all history.
She had a flock of fine geese in he
back yard, plump, beautiful white
birds, that strutted sedately around
and cackled so melodiously in the
morning that Mrs. Seals often imag
ined they were actual lineal descen-
dants of those that saved the Citadel
from the Barbarians.
But last night the Barbarians visit
ed Mrs Seals back yard. They were
swarthy Ethiopians and they came
bearing sacks.
Into the sacks they thrust the fool
ish flock of geese, the geese mean
while uttering no sound. The geese
haven't cackled until yet, and proba-
bly, never will. Mrs. Seals, who is
comfortably we'll off isn't so very
much chargined over the loss.
Geese that haven't got sense
enough to cackle when they are being
stolen, are not worth having anyway,
she says.

PROBE MAY Be
MADE OF THE
POSTAL MACHINE
Which HITCHCOCK HAS BUILT
Is in Line For Democratic
Investigation

Washington, March 1.-THE polit-
ical machine which Postmaster Gem
eral Hitchcock has built up by
means of his authority at the head of
the postoffice department is In line
for an investigation by the democrats
The deomcrats have a we'll laid plan
to probe deep into the machine build
ing activities of the postmaster gen.
eral.
1t is admitted that there is no one
department in the government service
where the searchlight could be turned
on with more success than in the
postoffice department.
For many months there have been
reliable reports that Mr.. Hitchcock
had been quietly laying his plans for
the capture of delegates for Taft, par
ticularly in the South.
The democrats want to know:
Whether postmasters throughout
the country, first class and otherwise,
are giving proper attention to their
oflces.
Whether it is not a fact, that many
of these postmasters accept their
trust from the government as side
line" to be conducted in connection
with private business.
Whether it is true that many post
masters spend much of their time.
campaigning for the republican cause
to the detriment of official business
of their offices.
For what reasons various post
offices have been discontinued, or
moved, upon orders for the republican
cause, to the detriment of official bus
mess of their offices.
For what reasons various post
! offices have been discontinued, or
moved, upon orders from Washing
ton without consulting the wishes OF
the patrons of the office.
House democrats believe that right
| under the eyes of the house the willy
postmaster general is putting in or
der a political machine the full force
of which will be felt when the stand
pat republicans try to renominate
Taft for president.
1t is also claimed that the postal
service is being crippled 1t is claim
ed that in many towns men are nam
ed for postmasters who have private
businesses that require all their time.
1t is openly charged that in every
state there are men who hold COM
missions at postmasters at import
ant offices who spend practically no
time at their duties. The real work

knowledge that they can deliver a
certain number of delegates when the
time arrives, ocntent themselves with
looking after other matters.
| is claimed that the postmaster
general has named as postmasters,
bankers, lawyers, merchants and
others who regard their allegiance to
the postal service as secondary to
private interests. 1t is also claimed
that these politicianpostmasters ex-
h'bit great activity in organizing their
friends in support of the republican
cause, that they are chairmen of
nty or city republican committees,
and ;nat much of their time is spent
in campaigning.

DESTRUCTIVE RAINS CONTINUE
TO DELAY FARMING ACTIVITY

Estimating the rainfall of yesterday
as approximately two inches, the to-
tai rainfall for the year, including
nearly ten inches which fell in Jan
uary and nearly five which fell in
February, the rainfall for the year
is approaching close to twenty inches
This is record which has seldom, if
ever been reached here before, and
its effects upon farming operations
have simply been paralyzing.
1t had been hoped that the coming
of March would witness a cessation in
the rains and bad weather which had
made the winter one of exceptiona
discomfort and trouble to the farm
ers of this section, but it seems tina
the end of the rains is not yet il
sight. One effect of the rains has beer

There was tremendous excitement
in the crowd, which turned on the
youth and attempted to lynch him
The police finally rescued him from
the clutches of the mob.
The king, was cool and unruffled
amid all. the excitement. He con-
tinued on his way after only brief
stop and sat through the pantheon
services without a sign of emotion.
The populace handled the would-be
assassin so roughly before the police
could intervene that the youth was
hardly able to speak when he reached
the police station.
He gave his name as Antonio Dalba
and declared that he was an "individ-
ualist anarchist"
AS the pantheon procession was
passing along the Via Lata three
shots rang out from amid the crowd
The soldiers behind the carriage i'm
mediately dashed forward and as they
did so their commander fell from
his horse.

one side by some of his men while the
others dashed up to the royal car

queen sitting calm and unmoved
Meanwhile the crowd seized the
man who had fired the shots and at
tempted to lynch him

An Easter egg hunt is a part Of
the program that has been planned by

other matters of interest that came
up relative to the historical work
that is being done by the organization
was the placing of set of books on
"The Part of the South in the History
of the Nation"

ennial interest, have been placed b.
the chapter at the Carnegie Library
in accordance with the usages of the

CITY REGIS TRAT|ON LISTS
TO Be CLOSED AFTER TODAY

A large part of the campaign thar
is being waged with regard to the
bond issue to be voted upon by the
| people of Americus on March 20. next
Wednesday, will have been completed
today when the registration lists close.
The fact that it is necessary for a
two-third majority of all the votes
registered to be cast in favor of a
bond issue in order to carry it, makes
the matter of registration of supreme
importance in a bond election. For
that reason the matter of registering
as large number of voters as possi-
BILE has been one to which the greatest
attention has been paid by both fac
tions.
While very large registration has
been recorded up to date, more than
$50 as a matter of fact, it is believed
that a good number df names have not
yet been placed onl the registration
books. These viii be registered to-
day, however, before the books have
closed, as this is the last day for reg
istration
All the names that have not been
placed on the lists, either held back
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-03-15

or delayed for other reasons, will be
placed there today and it is confident
ly expected that the total number OF
names that will be on the list tonight
will be no fewer than were recorded
at the municipal election last fall
when more than 700 names were
registered
1t was thought some time ago that
the registration would exceed that of
last fall, but it will not go very far
above that, if at all In some quarters
it is believed that the registration for
this election as finally recorded will
exceed any ever known in the city
prior to this time. Every one who in
tends to register today should do SO
as early as possible, so as to facilitate
the work of the city clerk in preparing
\ nal transcript of the names of those
who are qualified voters for the elec
ton.
A feature of the campaign activity
for tonight will be the mass meeting
that has been called by the Citizens
Club to assemble at the Armory Hall
of the Americus Light Infantry at 7:30
clock.
