R. DICKEY TO PREACH HERE
Large Crowds Will Hear Him
Twice

Notable among the eloquent preach
ers who have been heard in Americus
recently will be DR.. ]. E. Dickey
president of Emory College, who will
be heard twice today in sermons at
the First Methodist church.
DIR. Dickeys coming to Americus to
preach to the congregation of the
First Methodist church twice today is
an event of unusual interest and one
that will serve largely to increase
the attendance at both services. DR..
Dickey is well known here, and many
of those who have heard him before.
as well as those who are yet to have
the pleasure of listening to him, will
be present at the services today.
The mission of DIR. Dickey here is
solely in response to an invitation ex
tended to him by Mr.. Chester, pastor
of the local church. He will pay a
visit to Mr. Chester and deliver the
two sermons today incidentally. His
coming will be enjoyed by a large
number of church-goers.

SUMTER Light GUARDS HAVE

Death Fast Thinning Ranks Of Local Veterans, Who viii
Be Even Fewer Next Memorial Day

esterday-ffty-one years ago-one
hundred and eight soldier boys uf
Sumter left Americus to enlist in the
services of the Southern Confederacy.
The war fever was at the height and
the Sumter Light Guards, under COM
mand of Captain William l.. Johnson,

Georgia commands to enlist and leave
for Virginia. One hundred and eight
gallant boys marched away. Only a

1t was on Saturday, April 27th, 1861,
that the Sumter Light Guards, cheered
by fearful but exultant citizens, fa-
theirs. mothers, sisters, brothers,
marched to the depot and left for Au-

were on Virginia soil at Portsmouth.
Yesterday marked the fifty-flrst ami

GOV. O'NEAL
IN FAVOR OF
UNDERWOOD
GAVE Interview YESTERDAY
Was On His Way to Speak in
Rome, Ga.

! Atlanta. Ga. April Ex-Governor
Emmett O'Neal, of Alabama, in pass
ing through Atlanta today, gave an
interesting authorized interview. Gov
O'Neal spoke in Rome last night to
an overflow meeting, he speaks to-
night to tremendous crowd in Ma
con and will speak in Atlanta tomor-
row night, all of these speeches be-
ing made in the interest of Hon. Os-
car w. Underwood for the presidency
His interview follows: Il do not
think that any stronger recommenda-
ton could be given for Hon. Oscar w.
Underwood than he has already been
given by the national democratic par
ty. When the democrats representing
every state in the union, met in Wash
ington to choose leader for the
democratic party, they chose Oscar
w. Underwood Is not that the most
convincing proof that he is the choice
of the democrats of the country?
Because William Mckinley was
the greatest man of the republican
party, he was chosen as leader of
the republicans in the house. Be-
cause he typified republican ideas of
protective tariff he was later chosen
to bear the republican standard in
hn toll Ac y
Underwood typifies the democratic
idea of a lower tariff, he is now the
logical man to carry the democratic
banner.
Il have not the slightest doubt thar
he will be elected, if nominated, and
l believe his chances for the nomina-
tion are equal to those of any man in
the race today. Neither great ma
tional party has ever nominated or
elected a candidate without the cleo
toral vote of New York. The New
York democratic executive committee
at it's meeting a few days ago, en-
dorsed the Underwood tariff measures
! and condemned the initiative and re-
call.
while in New York the other day
/ talked with many about the situa-
ton. There is a pronounced senti-
ment in favor of Mr.. Underwood
among the substantial business ele-
ment. l found in New York that Mr.
Underwood was the only candidate
against whom no objection was eX-
jressed, and on the other hand, the
stated that he was the only man to
unite all parties. 1t is significant that
the New York delegation was not in
structed / believe it's members re-
gard Mr.. Underwood as the most
available candidate, but are unwil'-
ing to declare themselves at this
particular juncture until they deter
mine what support he will get from
the South. believe the South will
stand by him; if so, his nomination
Is assured.
"I ask many If there is any objec-
ton to him on account OF his South
ern birth and they ali declare that
they would be delighted of an oppor-
tunity 70 show to the contrary. The,

Officers for the club have already

They are given herewith in order that

gian in this section of the state is,
indeed overwhelming. Many letters
have been received at the club head
quarters from enthusiastic Hudson
supporters in all sections of the dis
trict.
Henceforward the work of the cluj
will be pushed vigorously in this sec

has hosts of friends. No effort win
be spared to marshal the full strength
of Mr.. Hudson in this county and en-

will be formed in every county in the

does not attempt, at least, to carry
out the plan here.
One of the most important things
to be done is for the people of the
city to get together and to raise sufi-
cient funds to make the plan a sue
cess. The merits of the city must be
put before every prospective immi-
grant or future citizen. The failure
OF Americus in not progressing as
rapidly as many other cities not SO
large as it is, is credited to the fact
that the city has never made a unit
ed effort to advertise its merits and
resources far and wide. This is be-
lieved to be absolutely necessary if
the city is to keep pace with other
cities of it's size in the state.
