BROWN FAVORS UNDERWOOD
But Takes No Part in Pres
GDt Fight
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


Atlanta Ga, April PA studied eff
fort is being made by the supporters o.
Gov. Woodrow Wilson to create the i'm
preston that Gov. Joseph M. Brown ia
vors Prof. Wilson for the democratic
nomination.
1t is known by most of Gov. Browns
friends that he favors Oscar W. I'm
derwood, but the Wilson followers are
trying to take advantage of the fact
that Gov. Brown does not think It
proper to take any prominent part IN
the campaign. In their efforts to de-
ceive the people they have published Z
group picture of Gov. Wilson, Senator
Smith and ]. R. Smith, who managed
Gov. Browns campaign, with the
statement that all factions have been
united
A more invidious way of injecting
the old factional issue could not be in
vented. When asked for statement
as to his preference, Governor Brown
said that he favored the candidacy of
Mr.. Underwood, but that he does not
think it proper for him to take an ac-
tive part in the presidential campaign.
Gov. Brown goes on the assumption
that the people of Georgia know their
own minds and will vote honest con-
victions on May 1st, and that they
would properly resent any effort on his
part to tell them how to vote. He
does not regard old state issues and
fights as having any legitimate bearing
on the presidential primary

rangements for the opening of the
series of games here. The game will
be called at $3.50 o'clock.
In accordance with the terms of
the contract, the local management is
to receive good percentage of the
gate receipts, so that the best possible
attendance is urged by Manager Ford.
If the present series can be made d

FRESHET. MAKES
FISHING PROSPECT
EXCELLENT
Fish Finding Their Way Up
Stream Already

Americus disciples of Isaac Walton
and particularly the members of the
Americas Fishing club, take comfort
from the recent freshet in the fact
that it will make fish abundant this
spring, and the sport consequently
very much better. Dams and traps
have been carried away this week by
high water, and the fish are thus
permitted to run upstream to tne
ponds and shallow streams where tns
pole-wielders can get at them. Down
at Albany, where Muckalee creek emp
ties itself into Flint river, the power
dam of the Albany Lighting COMPANY
no longer obstructs the stream ~ -
said. and fish in countless numbers
can now pass that point and ina
their way into the ponds and streams

Voters Will Have Pleasure of
Scratching Three

Judge VIM NJ. Harper, chairman of
the county democratic executive com
mittee, yesterday received from State
Chairman Wright the tickets for the
presidential primary to be held on
next Wednesday, May first
The tickets simply contain the
names of four presidential aspirants,
although it is generally recognized
that in Georgia but two-Underwood
and Wilson-will be voted for to any
extent. The names on the tickets
supplied by the state chairman are:
WILSON,
UNDERWOOD.
HARMON.
CLARK.
In voting in this, the first presiden-
tial preference primary ever held in
Georgia. the voter will simply scratch
the names of three, leaving un.
scratched the man he prefers.

ever candidate carries the state, thai

convention which names the delegates
to the Baltimore convention. If I'm

understood, his supporters in each

| SYSTEM IN LETTER WRITING
Busy Woman VIII Find II Saves Time
and Prevents Too Frequent Neglect
Of Correspondence.
& Underwood, N. Y.

All busy women know the value Of
system, and every busy woman should
systematic her daily tasks.
In the matter Of letter writing many
women are great procrastlnators. They
persistently leave important letters UNI
answered until the last possible mo-
ment, and then have to write hurried
note, often forgetting to take up i'm
portant subjects for discussion.
The best way to do is to have one
day or evening set apart for weekly
letter writing. One woman reserves
Tuesday morning for this purpose, and
she allows none but the most press
ing duties to interfere with her writ
ing.
While reading a letter she will jot
down any particular thing she wants
to mention in the reply on the back
of the envelope, place It in the letter
rack on her desk, and, when Tues
day comes, has all the weeks CORE
spondence ready for answering be-
fore her. II during the interim of
the receipt and answering OF letter
she thinks OF any point she wishes to
discuss, that, too, is noted on the en-
velope
With this system letter writing is
real pleasure--one that is looked
forward to every week with keen in
terest.

feed them. The old barn formerly
used for storing hay a part OF the
season and for cattle shelter the re-
naming time had the two sheds add

old building was divided into corn
cribs, feed room. grain room, etc. The
sheds were arranged as shown on the
floor plan, oae side for hogs and the
other side for sheep, the loft holding
the rough feed for the sheep. In
building the barn and installing the

Raising Fine Sweet Peas.

To raise fine sweet peas it is well
to make a trench or furrow early in
the season and SOW the peas in a
double row in this furrow. If possible,
the furrow should run north and south.
The ridge on either side protects the
young plants from the cold spring
winds. Avoid deep planting of peas.
When the plants begin to grow hill
them up, thus keeping the soil cool
and moist about the roots, and en-
abling them to withstand drought.
Furnish support as soon as the vines
start. To keep up a constant display
of bloom, cut the flowers freely, and
do not allow pods to form II this is
neglected the plants will soon exhaust
themselves blooming and seeding, and
will die when exhausted.

Indigestion In Sheep.

Indigestion is a very common all
ment among sheep during the winter
months, and attacks are frequent, es-
pecially while the flock is confined to
dry feed. The ailment may be char,
acterized as a failure of the natural
changes which feed undergoes in the
alimentary canal. Sheep confined to
a dry, narrow ration, without any form
of succulent food, are more apt to
suffer attacks Of indigestion than
when on pasture. Ordinarily the all
ment is not serious, but if permitted
to run it's course takes a more acute
stage and frequently results fatally

adopted the practice of rolling big
boulders into the roadway as a hint
not to turn corners at a breakneck
