TENT Meeting
PRACTICALLY
ASSURED NOW
Y NC A DIRECTORS CONSENT
Will Be Conducted Probably
Next June

From the consideration that was
given the matter at the last meeting
of the committee on religious work.
1T is practically assured that there
will be given here, probably next
June, under the auspices of the Y. M.
c. A., big tent meeting at which a
well known evangelist will conduct
a series of services.
The board of directors of the Young
Mems Christian Association has given
its approval to the plan, with the pro-
vision that the association is not to
be obligated in any way financially as
the result of the conduct of the ser
vices here. This, it is believed, prac-
tically assures the conduct of the
meetings, as they will be conducted,
in case the decision to hold them is
reached, with the understanding that
they are to be self-sustaining.
1t lis planned to have Rev. ]. B.
Phillips, of Macon, a we'll known
evangelist in this state, to conduct the
services that will be held. Mr. Phil
lips is a preacher of great power and
in the evangelistic work which he has
conducted for years he has met with
much success. The services would be
conducted in a non-denominational
manner so that they might have the
broadest field of usefulness and meet
with the approval and support of
members of all the various denomina-
tions of the city.
Mr.. Phillips has conducted revival
services in many places in this part
of Georgia with uniformly satisfactory
results. He is highly recommended
by Rev. T. F. Galloway, of Macon;
Mr.. F. L. Mallary, and other we'll
known religious workers of Macon and
other cities of the state. With the
evangelist usually come one or more
singers and other religious workers,
whose expenses must be borne.
Secretary Murray Dunn, of the Y.
M. C. A., originated the idea of hold
ing this series of meetings and
it seems that they can very readily
be carried through, if the support of
the community is given to them with
any degree of unanimity. 1t is be-
lieved that the series of meetings
would result in much good to the COM
munity if they can be successfully ar
ranged

Inflated ENGINEER WAS
FORMER AMERICUS man

When the story of the disastrous
wreck on the Central railway at Jones'
boro was read in The Times-Recorder
yesterday, the fact was recalled by
many that Engineer Clark, who went
to his death at the throttle, was Il
former resident of Americus and re-
membered by his many friends here.
1t was number of years ago that he
left this city for Macon, where he has
since resided. The family, while n
Americus, lived on Jackson street
near the Seaboard passenger depot.
His tragic death is deplored here, as
in Macon, his more recent home

VET rams ARE PLEASED
With SUPERINTENDENT

Americus veterans are well pleased
at the election by the board of trus-
tees of the Georgia Soldiers Home
of Captain G. N. Saussy, as superin-
tendent of that splendid institution
wherein the state takes care of her
heroes of the civil war.
Captain Saussy was a gallant Con-
federate soldier and by his pen has
since contributed largely to the histo-
ry of that period. He is a resident Of
Hawkinsville, and has a host of per-
sonal friends and admirers in Ameri-
Gus, especially among the Confeder-
ate veterans

DR.. E. L. Carswell, who has been
associated with the Dodson Medicine
Co. since its organization, as secre-
tary and treasurer, has resigned that
position and will again enter the re-

CITIZENS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC IN
FAVOR OF THE FORWARD EDITION.
=
lnGy are Ralyng to Make It Complete Success in the
Efforts Being Made to Give This Section the Most
Effective Of Publicity

With the same enthusiasm charae-
terlstlc of them at any time when the
material progress of Americus is az
issue, merchants, business men gen
orally and trades bodies here en-
dorse heartily the proposed Forward
Edition" of The Times-Recorder and
give assurance of their hearty finan-
cial and moral support in this es-
fort to set forth to the world the
many advantages of our city and
county.
No publication of similar nature il
past years has ever told the story
as will the Forward Edition" o.
which it is proposed to issue and dis
tribute more than 1880 copies, and
the result will be most effective.
Nor can the effect be fully estimat-
ed. Just now thousands of investors
and homeseekers have their eyes
turned upon South Georgia, the Eden
OF the Empire State of the South, and
carefully prepared presentation of
the advantages possessed by Ameri-
Gus and Sumter county will induce
many to come here, thus bringing rich
results.
The effect of well-directed publf-
city in past years is evidence of what
can be done in the future by concert
ed and enthusiastic effort. In the
past year many substantial citizens
of neighboring states were induced
to come here prospecting. Quick u
realize the possibilities and advant-
ages of Americus and Sumter county,
they made investments here aggre-
eating more than half million doll
lars This was the result of well-di
rected publicity, backed by the best
city and county in South Georgia The
Forward Edition" of The Times-Re-
corder will induce many others to
come. 1t will set forth clearly and
succinctly the value of local farming
lands, their products and the results
to be attained in agriculture and othe-
industries here 1t is not the inten-
ton to boom or magnify, but to tell
clearly, fully and concisely what we
have to offer the stranger within our
gates, whether he comes as an inves-
tor immediate or prospective. Ameri-
Gus, the gate city of Southern eGor
gia, has a great deal to offer home
seekers, and its manifold advantages
as a place of residence and business
uortunities will be completely told
in the Forward Edition" of The
Times-Recorder Local business
houses, railways, banks, manufactur-
ing enterprises; those here now and
others needed, will be fully and COM
pletely covered.
The Forward Edition" will be one

will be proud, and no other agency
will so fully and completely illustrate

GUNDA.
later by Colonel Oliver II. Payne, who
paid $1,000 for him. At that time he
weighed only $40 pounds and was
only six feet seven inches tall at the
shoulders. Now he is eight feet nine
inches tall and weighs more than four
tons. 1t is traditional that bull ele-
plants grow testy with the passing
years.
Gunda's latest escapade was a dead
~ attack on one of his keepers, Walter
Truman. Truman was cleaning Gun
da's stall one day recently, when the
elephant swung his trunk through the
air with the impact of a rushing loco
motive and struck the keeper across
the breast, hurting him fifteen feet to
land with a crash against the iron
wall.
Truman crumpled up on the cement
floor, limp, dazed and GREATNESS, while
Gunda drew back for a rush at him.
In those few seconds the keeper man
aged to crawl a few inches further
toward the corner of the stall. Gunda
rushed, but his prey was too far into
the corner. With his W great head
in the way, he found it hard to tram
pie on the a and kill him that way.
Then he used his tusks-a vicious
lunge. One thrust, and the long ivory
weapon was lifted into the air, drip
ping with Humans blood, and in the
f1eshy part of Humans leg there was
a great hole three inches deep. The
man was helpless. Gunda swayed back
and thrust a%gain-thrust blindly, and
this time his tusks struck a smashing
blow upon the converging walls Of
the stall. There was a splintering
noise. Five pounds of ivory clattered
to the floor and rolled over to the side
Of the wounded keeper.
Furious at the breaking of his tusk.
Gunda was backing away for further
attack N Truman when another keep
er arrived with a p%itchfork, which he
hurled like a javelin into the elephants
head and drove him of.

Arbihafng
Demands of
The Engineers

NJ AN the railroads give the en-
gineers any more pay without
~ going into bankruptcy? That Is
the important question to be de-
c3ded by the arbitration commission OF
seven men which is going into the
merits Of the demands made last spring
by the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers.
The hearings will be continued until
the members Of the commission have
had an opportunity to 60 into the de-
tails Of all differences between the en-
gineers and the ffty-two railroads east
Of the Mississippi and north Of Wash
1ngton and the Ohio river.
Everybody in the railroad world is
therefore watching the outcome Of the
hearings Of the arbitration commission,
for the decision of the commission will
indicate to what extent all the other
organizations among railroad employ
ees will meet with success.
The action Of the arbitrators is to be
binding upon both sides. That Is why
shippers as we'll as railroad men and
organized labor interests all over the
country have their eyes upon these
hearings. 1t will be recalled that when
the engineers asked for more pay and
shorter hours the railroads declared
that they could not raise the pay Of the
employees because the interstate com-
merce commission had refused to let
the railroads raise their freight rates.
The railroads commended that in the
circumstances a further increase Of
wages to the engineers. which would
