PLACE YOUR CARS

Every owner of an automobile in
Americus is requested to have his
machine on Lamar street on Wednes-
day afternoon by o'clock, sharp, to
be a factor in great photograph that
will then be taken by Hearn, the well
known photographer, to be used as
a large illustration in an article in
the Forward Edition of the Times-Re-
corder, showing Americus as the great
automobile city of Southwest Georgia.
Not fewer than one hundred and
fifty of the local machines should be
in the picture. They will be lined up
along Lamar street, stretching forth
Cotton avenue to far beyond the Wind
sor hotel, two or three abreast, as the
number and the eXigiencies of the
Photographic situation may require
Every auto owner should feel per-
sonal interest in this matter. The la

IS NOW
READY FOR
THE Fight
WILL PUT GAFF IN TEDDY
Not Personally But the New
Policies He Advocates

Washington, Feb. 26.-President has
made up his mind to reply to Colonel
Roosevelts Columbus speech. He S
to ccept the challenge thrown down
by Col. Roosevelt in the reference to
eminent lawyers who believe, nd
sometimes assert, that the American
people are not fitted for popular gov
ernment" The president will make
his reply to this challenge in an ad-
dress to be made to the Chamber OF
Commerce, of Toledo, Ohio, on Marcn
Sth next
President Taft feels that the pro
convention campaign will decide great
issues. The fate of the system of gov
ernment devised by the men who franz
ed the constitution, he believes, now
II ngs in the balancse. The fight has
resolved itself into more than a bat
tie between a president seeking 4
denomination and a former president
seeking a return to power. Upon the
result of the contest, which has been
crystallized by the speech of Colonel
Roosevelt at Columbus, will depend,
the president thinks, the future policy
of the republican party, with reference
to the constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Taft is irrevocably opposed to the
initiative, referendum and the recall o.
judges and judicial decisions. To other
Roosevelt doctrines he subscribes, but
he holds that the recall specially tends
toward making the constitution "a Ii
quid thing, so that a majority cna
food the halls of justice, decide every
action, override with popular passion
and prejudice every principle of this
government, the greatest God ever
made"
Mr.. Taft's answer to the Roosevelt
charter of democracy" will not be
made in one speech, but in several. He
has speaking engagements in New
York, Ohio, Chicago and New Eng
land, and it is possible that others
will be made later on.
1t is claimed by supporters of the
president, as regards the recall sys-
TEN applied to judges, that when he
goes after that nostrum, he will make
it look like cripple without
crutches." The president is said to be
anxious to fight now, not against Mr.
Roosevelt personally-because he will
always regard him kindly-but against
the danger of the republican party be-
| ing committed to such dangerous eX-
periments. The president is said t.
fear that if the nation begins to tam
per with the constitution, the whole
structure of the system of government
will topple, bringing this country tc
, curbstone legislation and "governmen
by mobs and parades.

management of the play and to the
members of the cast.
That the play will be the most in
teresting. best presented and most pop
ular amateur production seen here in
a long time is an assured fact. The
young players have done excellent
work in preparing their parts, and the
rehearsals show that the final pro-
duction will be all that can be expect
ed. The presentation of the play on
Thursday evening will be one of the
greatest social events of the season.

others are quite interruptions, or at any rate so ignorant of artistic values that 1, hey cannot realize the need of careful rehearsal and constant stage management. These are the men whose road companies have done the most to injure the theater, to shake public confidence, to take away pat ronage from good and bad alike"
 The people of Pine Bluff appreciate good plays. If given firsi class at fractions, they respond with liberal patronage. And they are no less positive and outspoken in their dis approval of poor productions. One weak production makes them skepti- cal and keeps them from going to really good plays subsequently, pre- sented.
 It is 0 be hoped the coming season in Pine Bluff will witness the presen- tation of all the first class plays that can be secured. On every side there is confidence in the ability of T. A. Hill, the manager of the local play house, to secure attractions of meris and, in his discrimination in selecting them. If these expectations are real ized. the approaching season will be one of profit to the house and the public alike.

DEPUTY SHERIFF GREEN
 MAKES GOOD CATCH
ARRESTED HIGGINS JONES, NE- GRO WHO SLASHED EARL Me-
 GAUGHY WITH KNIFE.
Negro is Bound Over to Grand Jury on Charge of Assault
 to Kill,

The cleverest piece of detective work ever pulled off by Deputy Sher- tiff Clint c. Green, eliminated when he, with the assistance of Deputy Sheriff Dave Glover arrested Higgins Jones, the negro who slashed Earl McGauGhy on the arm with pocket knife, causing severe wound, sev- eral weeks ago. The arrest was made about 3 o'clock Sunday morning at the negro's home, two miles southeast of line city. Jones at first denied do- ing the cutting but after severe ques- tioning admitted that he had been drinking and assaulted the young man because he would not get off the side walk.
 Young McGaughy had no idea who the negro was at the lime of the cut ting and Deputy Sheriff Green had absolutely no clue to work upon. It developed however, that, the negro had run into barb wire fence in running away on the night of the cut ing and has since been laid up from the injury.
 This is the seventh arrest that has been made this month by Mr. Green, several of whom had been fugitives from justice for several years. At hearing before Magistrate w. ID. Vance yesterday afternoon Jones was held to await he action of the grand jury on charge of assault to kill. His bond was fixed at $1,000 Attorney J. M. Shaw represented Jones and District Attorney Nixon appeared for the state.

THE PLAY AND THE PEOPLE

In an article in the July American Magazine, Walter raehard Eaton shows that the theatrical road busi- ness has been poor because of the failure of the managers to give values in the companies they sent out. He says in part:
 50, if there were space, we could go on multiplying the evidence thai the chief cause for bad business on the road is the loss of public confi dence in the theater, and this loss of confidence is not due to motion pie lures or hard times, but to the sup idity of managers A storekeeper who sold first class goods one week and shoddy goods the next, at exact ly the same price, would go out of business very speedily. Yet that is what the theater managers have tried to do, and expected to keep their GUS toners.
 The fault is sometimes with local house managers, sometimes with the producers in New York. If the local house manager really knows his busi-
 ness, and is honestly desirous of serving the public, he can pretty gen. erally keep his theater up to stand ard, and so retain the confidence of his community. In the first place he must be man who himself knows a good production from poor one la great many local theater managers are not such mem, and he must be a man who knows when New York producers send out good companies and which are to be watched with suspicion There are honest produc- CTS in New York. whose name behind a play, lwhe her the company be first or second or third. is practical guarantee of efficiency. A Belasco second company is as good as a first. There are others, like Charles Froh- man. who seldom send out second companies at all. But a great many

 Of Malfeasance Charge
Judge Smith Directed the Jury to
 Bring in Verdict For Defendant

Paragoul, July 29.-The jury in he case of Jason l.. Light, county and probate judge, who is under indict- ment for alleged malfeasance in of- flee, was peremptorily instructed by Circuit Judge Frank Smith to return verdict in. favor of the defendant.
 This suggestion came when s. R. Simpson, counsel for the defense, moved that the case be thrown out of the court, nthe ground that the transaction on which the indictment was based, occurred more than three years prior to the time the indictment was returned, and hence was barred by statute of limitation.
