Mr. John w. Blount, district passen-
ger agent of the Central railway with
headquarters at Macon, was in Amer
icus yesterday Mr. Blount is enthus-
iastic over the approaching Confederate
reunion in Macon and thinks it will
be the greatest occasion of its kind
in recent years. The people of Ma
con- he says, will throw open their
homes in hospitality to the visitors.
Referring tot he suggestion of Mr..
R. P. Stackhouse, of Americas, rela-
tive to chartering a train and bring
ing a number of the reunion visitors
to Americas and Sumter county for a
days inspection of the city and the
surrounding farms, Mr.. Blount thinks
that better work may be done in Ma
con among the visitors during the re-
union.
The presence in Macon of several of
Americas live real estate agents, who
would distribute illustrated pamph-
! lets and literature, would serve bet
ter end, Mr.. Blount thinks, and, be-
sides, would reach more directly those
interested in land purchases.
People are coming to Macon from
all over the South and West, many
of them home-seekers, and the Central
railway has arranged side trips from
Macon at the rate of three cents per
mile, round trip, to every city, town
and hamlet in Georgia. The costo of

THE ABERDEEN
CONVENTION
Contesting Briefs Ready
Roosevelt Men Say They
Were Denied Admission

The briefs of the contesting Taft
and Roosevelt delegations from the
state of Washington to the national
convention at Chicago have been pre-.
pared and are quite voluminous, the
Taft brief containing over 100 pages
E. B. Benn of Aberdeen, is already
in Chicago, and Warren J. Egerer
left Saturday for the seat of war, to
give testimony in the case.
One of the questions which will be
raised at Chicago is whether the
Roosevelt faction was allowed entry
in the Republican convention held at
the Grand theater. Affidavits on this
member of the state central commit
tee, of Aberdeen, that announcements
We're made to all the Roosevelt dele
gates of where tickets of admission
to the convention could be obtain
ed.
W. J. Egerer and other doorkeep-
ers. in sworn statmeents, declare
that they We're doorkeepers at the
Gand theater, and that whenever per.
sons asked for admission who had
no tickets they referred them to the
Office where they could be obtained.
1t is also pointed out that the
Roosevelt delegates had hired a sep
arate hall the night before, and that
this in itself was an indication that
they did not intend to participate in
the convention
Hear Rumor of Steam Roller
The brief of the Roosevelt dele
gates declares that prior to the CON
vention this state was generally be.
lieved to be for Roosevelt, that init
nations of "frame-up" and steam
roller We're current before the con-
vention, and that a system of passes
was devised by the Taft people to
prevent Roosevelt delegates from en-
tering the convention, that the dele
cations sent by the Roosevelt sup
pOrterS were more representative.
that the executive committee of King
county had no authority for selecting
the delegates. and that the state COM
mite had no right to pass on con-
tests, and that these contests were
decided in favor of the Taft forces
as a matter of necessity rather than
merit
The declaration is made in the Taft
brief that contests of some character
had been filed in many of the coun-
ties. so as to disqualify the Taft dele
gates from voting upon temporary or
ganization.
