FAVORS The
MILITIA BILL
VOTED FOR BILL PENDING
viii Make Friends For Him
Here

Atlanta, Ca, April 13.-Within the
past week Manager G. R. Hutchens, of
the Georgia Underwood campaign has
received so many enquiries from Off
GERS and men of the Georgia National
Guard as to the Hon. Oscar w. Under
woods attitude toward the militia pay
bill, now pending in congress, that he
decided today to make a public an
nouncement for the information of the
National Guard of the state.
In this statement it is shown that
not only does Mr.. Underwood favor the
passage of the bill, but that he voted
for it when it was up at the last ses-
sion of congress and has, furthermore,
promised that it will be favorably re-
ported from the committee during the
present session and placed on the cal
endar for consideration.
Following is Manager Hutchens'
statement:

ceiving letters and have repeatedly

COLLEGIANS
DELIGHTED A
LARGE CROWD
AT GLEE CLUB PERFORMANCE
Program Was a I leasing and
Varied ORe

Before an audience that was unus-
ually large in view of the adverse
conditions under which. the perform-
ance was given here, the Mercer Uni
versity Glee club pleased those who
heard the collegians make fun and
music at the High School auditorium
last evening.
The program was especially pleas
ing in its variety and in the manner
in which the college men performed
their parts. There was music ami
clevernerr in abundance. for the Mer-
Ger Glee club is a well trained and
well organized one. That it was an
preciated here was readily manifeste1
by the generous applause given to the
various numbers.
OF the two Americus boys who are
members of the club, only one was
present, Wesley Lester, but he was
given cordial reception by his friends
here. 1t was matter of regret thar
Gordon Howell, the other local MEM
Der of the club, was unable to accom-
pany the organization to Americus.
One of the brightest and cleverest
hits Of the evening and one which was
not down on the program were the
clever song selections, "Oh, You BIar-
ney" and Billy" by Miss Bivins, OF
Cordele, daughter of Editor J. w.
Bivins, of the Cordele Sentinel. She
was roundly applauded for her pleas
ing and clever performance. Having
fallen in love with the members of
the Glee club in Cordele, little Miss
Bivins accompanied them to Americus
on a brief visit to her uncle, Rev. r. L.
Bivins, here
The members of the Glee club were
cordially received and treated by the
alumni of Mercer here and by all who
met them. They are clean, manly
set of young fellows and won many
compliments for themselves and the
institution which they represent. 1t
is hoped that the coming CT the Glee
club will be made an annual event
here, and that still larger attend
ance will be given next time when
they come.
To the untiring efforts of Mr.. A. NJ.
Arnett and Mr.. C. c. Yoemans in
working, to secure the coming of the
club is due the greatest commenda-
ton. They was assisted in splendid
manner by several of the pupils of
the High School and by many of the
alumni of the institution who reside
here. The performance of the Glee
club here was greatly enjoyed The
members of the Glee club left at 10:40
o'clock for Macon.

Miss Lynn Mathis has been chosen
by Allen S. Cults Camp, Sons of Vet
Grams, as its fair sponsor at the ma
tional reunion of Confederate veter-

morning, and Miss Mathis will be no.
titled of the action at once and re-

DID
NOT STOP
THE PICNIC

Undaunted by the rain and cloudy
weather that came with yesterday,
those who were interested in the
young people of Calvary church having
a good time, made use of the armory
hall instead of Prospect park, as
had been intended, and there the young
people held forth and enjoyed a jolly
time until the day was spent.
1t was the occasion of the annual
picnic of the Sunday school and
church, so that large attendance was
present in spite of the unfavorable
elements. The young people seemed
as happy and joyous as if they had
been out of doors, so that everything
was thoroughly enjoyed after all.

Mr.. WEAVER'S CONDITION

The many friends of Mr.. Harvey

be pleased to know that he has almost
recovered from the recent attack
which he experienced. 1t was thought
at one time that an operation for ap-
pendicitis would be necessary, but the
necessity for that seems to have been
entirely avoided.
1t will be a source of qualification

will be no recurrence of the trouble
which has kept him from his duties for

The elegant furnishings and modern

With all the exterior and interior
work on the new building practically
completed, there is probably no neater,
more commodious or thoroughly
equipped banking building of it's size
in the state than that now occupied
by the Commercial City bank. Every
feature of the building was designed
for the sole purpose of its being used
as the home of the bank, and the
splendid results achieved are well
worth while
The addition of the new bank build,
ing adds one more to the number OF
banking buildings now owned by the

creased later by the construction OF
a new building by the Bank of South
