John S. Humphrey took lot OF
his fine Duroc Jersey hogs and his

ought to satisfy most any man in
the pure bred stock line. Then when
it came to poultry he won every first
prize and a SO silver cup for the
best pen in the American class. He
also won a 81 rug for best pen OF
Buff Rocks, and three Daisy brooms

SCHOOL BOOKS MUST
Be true HISTORY
COIQuift Says LinCOIn'S Pic
turG Must Stay in

Austin, Tex, Nov. 14.-Gov o. B.
Colquitt, in a speech before the State
Text Book Board, said that before he
would permit the withdrawal of Abra-
ham Lincoln's picture from the State
school history about to be adopted he
would resign the Governorship.
A great controversy has arisen over
the selection of a history for Texas
schools One of the histories under
consideration was disapproved by the
Confederate veterans, who said it re-
f1ected on the South Two of the men,
bers of the board declared the picture
Of Lincoln should be omitted. This
brought forth Gov Colquitt's emphatic
comment.
The Governor has declared that he
wants history that gives the facts,
whether they favored North or South
and that only the truth counted He
says his father was a Confederate SOL
der, but that would not influence him
to desire one side favored more than
the other.

WORK Progressing ON
The COUNTY ROADS
Especially on the New Friend
ship Road

Forty convicts are now making the
dirt fly on the improvement of the
Americus-Friendship road, and excel
lent progress is being made in the
work recently. 1t will require two or
three months wherein to complete this
road of seventeen miles length, but t
will be made one among the best in
the county. The force employed on the
Friendship road is working at present
in the vicinity of Muckalee bridge. The
highway will be of uniform width,
thirty feet, and well graded.
Two other gangs of convicts are
working in other sections of the coun,
ty, one near Plains and the other on
the MISUNDERSTANDING road. Between
severity and eighty convicts are now
doing duty here, and this force will be
increased largely no doubt, after the
next session of court The county
roads, upon the whole, are in a very
good condition, much better than at
this time last year, following long
season of rain.

SUMTER COUNTY
SHOULD HAVE
COUNTY FAIR
MIR. Hudson GIVES INSTANCES
OF Other Counties That Have
Such Attraction

M. Thomas G. Hudson returned TO
Americus yesterday from stay Of
several days in the Southern section
of the state, including a visit to Thorn
asville, and is enthusiastic over the
business and agricultural development
of the entire section traversed.
THE county fair reflects the prog
ress of these fine South Georgia couit-
ties" said Mr.. Hudson yesterday. "YoI
would indeed. be surprised at th9
completeness of the exhibits in all de-
partments, and at the great crowds in
attendance. | wish some of our Amer
icus business men and Sumter county
farmers could have attended the Tiff
ton and Thomasville fairs. Had they
seen the splendid displays in all lines,
agriculture, domestic science, etc, and
the fine exhibits of live stock it would
have opened their eyes to the prog
ress of that section.
Down in that portion of the state
only about fifteen or twenty per cent.
of the land is yet in cultivation, yet
magnificent crops are produced and
general prosperity prevails, as re-
fected in the many county fairs this
fall What then could Sumter do, with
such vastly greater area under cu!-
tivation?
"The county fair is a great devel-
oper and the best advertisement for
any agricultural region and do sim
cerely hope that Sumter county next
fall will have the best local fair n
Georgia"

ORIGINAL CAMPAIGNING
BY JIM HAM LEWIS

Atlanta, Nov Am Albanian just
back from Chicago tells of an abso-
lutely new method employed by Col
onel Jim Ham Lewis, former Georgian.
to get votes. He picked out a healthy
Cook county voter, ran over him with
his automobile, picked him up, and
took his vote away from him.
Col Lewis, naturally, ran the man
down by accident, turning a sharp
curve. But once he had disabled him
he was too good a politician to let
him escape. He took him into the auto,
rushed him to drug store; had him
brushed up; bought him medicine ;
gave him drink of brandy to brace
hes nerve; and then finding that no
bones were broken, took the man to
his home. By that time the voter was
more grateful than if Col Lewis
hadn't run over him at all.
Il know you didn't mean to run
into me-" he said, "and you have
shown yourself fine gentleman. If
there is ever anything l can do for
you, let me qnow."
why just vote for me-" responded
Col. Lewis, handing him a campaign
card.
THAT I surely WILL" promised the
pedestrian as he limped into the house

According to Chayis' statement he
left the office, which is in the South
ern Pacific depot, to meet the east
bound midnight train. He locked the
safe and the office door When he re-
turned 10 minutes later, he said he
discovered that an unused door on the
west side of the building, against
which number of express packages
had been piled, was aiar. He found
the safe still locked, but a package
of money which he had placed therein
was missing.

WANT ADS
EXCELLENT
in SERVICE
They Bring SURE RESULTS
In Editions Of The Times
Recorder

Far from deteriorating, the efficacy
Of want ads in The Times-Recorder
is greater than ever. The results that
these mail ads bring to every class of
advertisers is so great that the OUTLAY
for advertising is hardly to be consid-
cred.
Wednesday evening Mr. Frank J.
Payne inserted a want ad in The
Times-Recorder asking for applicants
who wished to rent rooms. He was
literally besieged with applicants yes
terday morning. So great was the rush
of those who wished to secure rooms
that Mr. Payne telephoned to The
Times-Recorder before o'clock, ask
ing that the ad be removed at once. as
! it had done its work even better than
he could have asked.
This is only one example Of the
many that are to be found almost dali
ly in the excellent want ad service
that The Times-Recorder is giving to
the people of Americus. little money
cannot be better expended in the way
of advertising than in placing a few
want ads in The Times Recorder.
MoTal-Do it now.

DEATH CLAIMED

AFTER ILLNESS
news RECEIVED YESTERDAY
Funeral to Be Conducted in
AmePiCuS

Mrs. Josephine Turpin Fullenwider,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George A.
TuIpin, of Americus, passed away ut
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at her
home in Shelbyville, KY. The an
nouncement of her death was a dis
tinet shock to her many relatives and
friends here and is sincerely deplored
Mr.. and Mrs. Turpin had departed
for Shelbyville but two hours before in
response to a telegram announcing her
sudden and serious illness. They may
continue the journey to the stricken
Kentucky home.
Scarcely year ago-December 9Th
Miss Turpin was married here to
Mr.. Milton Fullenwider, and in their
home near Shelbyville their brief mar
ried life has been an ideally happy
one. Near her resides her sister, Mrs.
Ray Wakefield, formerly Miss Sarah
Turpin, of this city.
Mrs. Fullenwider was in her 25th
year. A young woman of engaging
and charming personality. she made
and retained strong friendships, and
in the social realm prior to her mar
liage none here were more popular or
generally loved among her friends. To
these her death will, indeed, be a Sc
we're blow.
While no announcement has been
made regarding the funeral, it is quite
certain that the body will be brought
back to Alnericus, the funeral taking
place either on Saturday afternoon or
announcement of which will
be made tomorrow.

NJ 'CLUNG SENDS
RESIGNATION
TO PRESIDENT
IT COMES AS A SURPRISE
Not in Harmony With Other
Officials

Washington, D. c., Nov. 14.-An~
nouncement of the resignation of Lee
McCung as treasurer OF the United
States was made by President Taft
today Mr.. McClung rendered his
resignation to the president at con-
ference at the executive mansion
early today and it's acceptance was
later announced by the president.
from the executive Offices, with tha
explanation that Mr. McClung re-
signed voluntarily. 1t is believed
that Carmi Thompson, now private
secretary to the president, will suc-
ceed him.
Mr.. McClung's resignation be-
comes effective as soon as his suc-
cessor is appointed. The treasurer
declined to discuss his retirement ia
any way today, but it was rumored
that his resignation came as the re-
suit of continued friction with Sec
retary MacVeagh.
The treasurer of the United States
r. not appointed for fixed term.
According to his commission, ha
serves until his successor is ap.
pointed
The resignation of McCtung means
that the money and securities for
which the treasurer is responsible
must be actually counted and receipts
ed for. This will be the greatest
single financial transaction in the
history of the world When Mr.. Me-
Chung assumed the duties of treas~
urer, he gave receipt to his prede-
cessor for $1,26O,134, ,946.SS 2-3.
This was the largest single trans
action from man to man on record.
While the exact amount of the treas-
urer's fund is not known, it is expect-
ed it will exceed those figures by
many millions.

at the benefit this afternoon be as
large as possible. The admission viii
