Fads and FancieS.

Striped materials are being very much
used for tailored gowns. Generally speak
ing. they are very becoming, especially
If the stripes are comparatively narrow.
Even the new tailored collars have not
esca ped the Robespierre fashion. They
have the long pointed effect and roll away
from the throat in real Robespierre fash
ion.
Lacy openwork effects are used very
much and are SO delicately constructed
as to admit of being used interchange
ably with laces of moderately light
weight.
The new pleated dresses cling closely to
the figure and are made in such measure
ments that they could not fly out to any
great extent, even if the pleats were
drawn out.
There is a tendency toward smaller
hats; but the most important thing is not
the size. but that 1t should be simple and
becoming. The most successful hats are
always simple.
Charming afternoon gowns of white
satin are trimmed with black, chantilly
lace One very pretty model of supple
white satin has black messaline draped
over the skirt and bodice.
There is a novelty bag made of black
taffeta, trimmed with the old-fashioned
quillings Of our grandmothers' day. These
bags are mounted on jeweled frames and
are carried Cordeliere style.
Some of the novelty dresses are trim
med with marabou on collar, cuffs and
I in the edge of narrow vests. Some coat
dresses use this finish to outline Wais,
| extension. which takes the form of a cut
| away coat.

CRISP CLUB
IS GROWING
VERY FAST
MORE THAN 1000 MEMBERS
And Members Are Still BeinQ
Enrolled

Constantly growing. the Sumter
County Crisp club now has more than
1000 members, according to a state
ment given out at the club headquar
ters here yesterday. This means that
that club has shown a very substantial
growth since its organization here
only shore time ago, when mem
bership of more than 700 was report
ed.
Letters are being received daily at
Cotney building, and the tone of these
letters is highly encouraging to all
the friends of Judge Crisp here. Many
callers drop in at the club rooms each
day, and these also bring most en-
couraging reports from all sections of
this county and from neighboring
counties.
A recent visitor was Mr.. w. c..
Pierce, of Crisp county, who was ID
caller at the club rooms for some
time Mr.. Pierce is a travelling man
and is in close touch with the senti-
ment of the district as regards the
congressional candidates. He says
that Crisp county is solid for Judge
Crisp and that everywhere he trav-
els he finds that Judge Crisp is favor
ed above all the other candidates in
the race. The sentiment in his be-
half is very strong, indeed, according
to Mr.. Pierce. WAC is an enthusiastic
supporter of Judge Crisp for con-
gress.

AT WINDSOR WELL

A fine flow of water from the arte-
sian well recently bored upon the
Windsor hotel property was secured

nearly one hundred feet to the surface.
The flow secured is about thirty
eight gallons per minute, or 1880 gal

CORDIAL IS
,
The SUPPORT
OF HUDSON
FROM SMITHVILLE CITIZEN
Writes Card to The Times.
Recorder

| A card was received by The Times
Recorder yesterday which gives the
heartiest commentator and support
to Tom Hudson, as South Georgia s
candidate for governor. The card is
| from Mr. Frank Hale, a well known
travelling man of Smithville The card
| is as follows: N4
Smithville, Ga, May 17.-As it is
nearing the time for the people of
this state to choose a man for the
| head of the helm of state, it behooves
the people look well before making
up their minds as to whose hands
they place their destiny for veal or
woe. 1t is the personality of the
man that counts, and not the machin-
| cry. Every weak man leans on the
machinery; every strong man can
lead the people, if there is no machin-
cry at all What strong test it is of
the nobility of the man when he can
rise above the machinery and needs
nothing but his own native power to
grasp conditions as they arise, and
life the people, and lead them on %
higher ideals of life. That is what
makes the man, and if that is what
rlakes the man, that is what must
help to shape our government, and as
in all governments so in human af-
fairs, the personal power of the man
finally determines the worth of his
achievements, and the old Greek prov
erb remains true, that the workman IS
greater than his work.
This being true We feel that we Of
South Georgia can offer to the people
of the whole state man who meas
ures up to the standard of all that has
been said above, and his name is the
Hon. Thos. G. Hudson, of the county
of Sumter, and we heartily recommend
him to the people of Georgia as their
standard bearer for governor for the
grandest old state in the union. He IS
man big enough to fill any position
within the gift of the people of Geor-
gia, and he is as full of the milk of
human kindness as any man in this
state or any other. The more one
knows of Tom Tudson the better you
like him, which cannot be said of all
men. We will be proud to hail him as
our next chief executive and we be-
lieve the people will be proud of him
in this capacity

WHEAT CONTINUES
TO DROP LOWER

Chicago, May 17.-Severe calling os
margins today resulted in a drop OF
more than &c bushel from the price
of wheat. This meant a fall OF more
than 8 cents from the high figures
which recently precailed. The mar
ket, however, was relatively steady in
accordance wit the previous daY,
when just before the close food of
stop loss orders brought about con-
dition amounting to nearly a panic.
In the end the market was irregu-
lar, varying from 5-8 to SAC off to ID
cent advance as against the prices "a
hours previous.
Reports that the breaks in quota
tons yesterday and today had caused
a revival of -four business and led to
cash wheat sales had a helpful effect

AMERICUS INSTITUTE CLOSED
After a Most Successful
sx.aaaiaaaL,

In the presence of a large assem-
blage of friends of the school, the
commencement exercises of the Amer
lcus Institute, one of the leading edu-
| cational and colored industrial schools
OF the state, were concluded yester-
day and diplomas awarded the class
OF twelve graduates taking the com
plete course. In addition to these was
one other graduating from the mil
llnery branch of the industrial school
The exercises yesterday brought TO-
close the most successful session in
the history of the Americus Institute,
Supt. Reddick stated. The enrolment
of students this year numbered 1876 IN
all of the departments, representing
every section of this state. while there
were pupils from Alabama and Florida
as we'll.
The commencement sermon was de-
hVered on Sunday last by DR.. Carl D.
Case, pastor of the Delaware Avenue
Baptist church, Buffalo, N. Y. This
church is much interested in the sue
cess of the Americus Institute and as
sists it in many ways. The religious
and educational congress was held
Tuesday and Wednesday and partici-
pated in by religious workers among
the negroes all over the state.
The institute, as is well known, has
a well equipped industrial department
where the students are taught useful
branches of trades and industry. Well
equipped workshops, sewing rooms, a
millinery department basked making,
cooking, housework and other means
OF useful employment are taught
there. The school will resume early
October, with an even larger attend
ance than during the session just
closed
