FOOTBALL
WARRIORS
WORKING
NEXT GRIDIRON STRUGGLE
Are Not DismayGd By Their
Recent Defeat

Though feeling somewhat sore yes
terday and Sunday as a result of the
game with Columbus Saturday after
noon, the members of the High School
football squad are as lively and en-
thusiastic as ever. They have lost
none of their optimism as a result OF
the defeat Saturday afternoon, which
they regard as practically victory.
Nothing will be left undone to keep
the team in the very best condition
for the next game, the date of which
has not yet been determined. Several
games have been in prospect, but II
is not yet known whether as many
games as are desired can be secured.
Coach Reeve was well pleased with
the performance of the youngsters on
Saturday afternoon Though he was
in the game. he had a very good OPP
portun ty to observe the working OF
the team. There are some weak points
which he wishes to strengthen before
another game is played. Now that the
members Of the team have seen ac-
tive service against an equally strong
team they vii be better able to get
themselves in shape for the next bat
tie.

FITE PAID fine
FOR CONTEMPT
Cost the Judge $500 to Ex.
press His Opinion

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 28-Judge Au-
gustus w. Fite, of the Cherokee cir
cult superior court, who recently was
fined $500 for contempt of the court
of appeals has paid his fine. The
judge arrived in Atlanta about noon
on his way to Macon this afternoon
to attend the Masonic Grand Lodge
now in session there Judge Fite paid
his fine under protest He resented
the idea of paying it at all, but after
consultation with a number of close
personal friends and attorneys, he
reached the conclusion that it was
best to close the incident and yield
to the authority of the court. He is
frank in admitting that he does not
see hoY he is to appeal directly from
the sentence anyway. In passing
sentence upon Judge Fite, the court
of appeals give him until today to
decide whether he would pay the fine
imposed, or serve ten days in the
common Jail of Fulton county as an
alternative.

BELIEVES IN
A FAIR FOR
THE COUNTY,
Mr.. SHEPPARD An ADVOCATE
OF Annual Sumter County Fair
in AmeriCuS

Following the recent statement of
Mr.. Thomas G. Hudson relative to the
benefit of county fair to Americus
and the surrounding country, Mr.. j.
E. Sheppard yesterday gave a vigorous
interview relative to the need of a fair
here.
Sumter county should not lag be-
hind other counties in this sect on as
regards county fair" said Mr.. Shep-
pard in speaking of the matter There
is no reason why Sumter instead of
some other county, should not carry
off the first prizes at the state fair.
What seems most needed here to
insure the success of such movement
is some one to take hold of the mat
ter and push it to a successful COM
p elton. We need a leader for a sterl-
ing good fair, for Sumter county will
not stand for any other kind. | am
one to pledge my earnest help and
support to a movement to start at
once, if it is deemed advisable, move
ment to organize a fair association
for fair here in the fall of 1919

Meeting Will Be Held on No.
Vember 18th

| Amer, Gus fans are interested in the
meeting to be held at Waycross two
weeks hence for the organization of
the South Georgia league for the next
ball season, and in al probability a
number of representatives of local
balloon will attend. Americus, by all
means, should be in the new league.
At this meeting plans for getting the
new league in shape for starting next
season will be formulated and other
details handled
The meeting on November 18th will
be held under the auspices of the
Board of Trade as it has been through
the work of committee of this organ
ization that the matter has been
brought to a head
President N. P. Corish of the South
At ant C League will be invited to at
tend and aid the new leaguers in get
ting started right One or more league
team managers will probably attend
also to suggest matters for the confer
ence to dispose of at the Waycross
meeting
1t is not known what cities will
want teams lin the league, but favor
orable responses from a sufficient
number to make the organizat on of
the league certain have been received.
AS the proposition appears now the
new eague will have six teams with a
playing season about like that of the
South Atlantic League.
James Sinclair is chairman of the
comm ttee handling the league matters
and has gotten pledges of cooperation
in all cities large enough to support a
team. H is'very optimistic over pros
poets for splendid league and be-
lieves the league, when organized, will
prove one of the best of its kind in

start work on the temple.
Grand Master George NJ. Napier has
ordered the session of the Grand
Lodge to cover only two days this
year, instead of three as heretofore,
and this action alone is going to add.

being gathered for the erection of the
temple.
here Is now on hand between $685.

Every effort is going to be made in
the immediate future to add to this

iLg r'ork on the temple. When the
amount necessary to build has been
raised the question of the location OF
the temple will be gone into.

Much Damage

MAY SEEK TO
ABOLISH COURT
OF APPEALS
RESULT FITE CONTROVERSY
Such Bill May Be introduced
in Legislature

Atlanta, Oct. 2S.-Now that the
grand jury of Whitfield county has re-
turned presentments indorsing the
suggestion of Judge A. w. Fite, of the
Cherokee circuit, that the state court
of appeals should be abolished, it
would not be surprising to see a bin
Introduced in the next session from
that of some other county of Judge
Fite's circuit, having that object in
view.
The action of the Whitfield grand
jury followed Judge Fite's scathing
criticism of the court of appeals in
his charge to that body, which fol-
lowed the action of the court of ap-
peals in sentencing him to pay fine
of $500 or serve ten days in Jail for
contempt, which followed the publi-
cation in certain newspapers of some
cards signed by Judge Fite reflect
ing upon the honor and integrity Of
the court.
The court of appeals silently ignor-
ed Judge Fite's charge to the grand
jury, which was, if anything, worse
than his cards, because it cannot hold
him accountable for what he says in
a charge to the grand jury or from
khA no., ,oh ne eI Ia
surpass all bounds of decency. That
is said to have been the reason why
the court took no further action fol-
loving Judge Fite's charge.
| The truth of the matter seems to
be that Judge Fite's attitude has ra-
ther popularized the court of appeals,
at least in those sections not imme-
diately attached to his circuit.
Notwithstanding this, it is pretty
certain that the next legislature will
see efforts to abolish the court. Such
an act would require an amendment
to the constitution, which necessi-
tates a two-thirds vote of the mem
bers of both houses, followed by a
majority vote of the people. If the
court of appeals should be abolished
it would unquestionably be necessary
to make a material increase in the
81 preme court and in addition to pro-
vide for division of its labors-that is
the hearing of many appeals by other
ltnan a full bench.

BUSINESS men
FORESEE ERA
OF PROSPERITY
ALL CONDITIONS ARE Coon
No Reason For Any Pessi-
nestle Views

New York, Oct 2S.-That tt Un
States never before with the recA,
lection of the present generation oh,
business men has faced such encour-
aging prospects for long continued
era of prosperity is the remarkable
testimony abducted by delegates from
meeting of mortgage and investment
bankers here this week BY the nature
of their business these men naturally
are well posted concerning the s .tua-
ton and outlook in their own COM
munities and states and it is note
worthy that there was not dissent-
ing opinion among them as to the
promising outlook which the bus ness
situation now presents. A c'assifica-
ton of the views advanced shows that
three main factors are regarded as be-
ing chinfly responsible for the situa-
ito The first and most immed ate is
the record-breaking yields of most OF
the country's important crops have
been harvested at time when Eu-
ropes crops are below normal, there
by assuring good prices and general
prosperity to the farmers. The second
reason given by most of these observ.
ers is that business generally is in a
sound and conservat We condition with
the stocks of merchants not over ex-
panded, collections prompt, no great
speculative movement under way and
nothing in the nature of boom"
with its inevitable reaction. The third
reason abducted by majority oe
these business men is that the opens
ing of the Panama canal will give a.
decided stimulus to American COM
merce, and especially to southern and
Pacific coasts ports, whether foreign
or American shipowners derive the
chief benefit of handling this increas-
ed business. While various other fac
tors were mentioned as operative In
certain sections, these were the
broad reasons given for anticipating !
long and uninterrupted season q
prosperity for Americs industry.

But Very Little Damage Was
Done

A small blaze. Sunday morning at
Calvary church called out the fire
department about 8 o'clock. A small
part of the roof next the fue from a
stove was on fire, though but very lit
tie damage was done.
The cause of the fire was caused di-
rectly by defective fiue. This hue
had recently been repaired with the
result that it failed to connect di-
rectly at point near the roof, SO
that the flames instead of going out
the fiue, poured directly into the
roof.
The fire occurred while the early
morning service was in progress, one
of the communicates having noticed
shing'e fall downward near the stove
whereupon la fire alarm was quietly
sent in Immediately.
