1t was by far the most exciting event
of the school year when the rival de-
baters took their seats on the rostrun

gun. In spite of the unfavorabse
weather that existed the attendance
was most encouraging. With fair
weather, it is believed that the audi

The three debaters who represented the

Enthusiasm ran riot among the lo-
cal High school students and the re-
representatives. of the Warrenton school
before the debating exercises began
and at intervals during the progress Of
the debate. Yells and songs and noises
such as only high school students eau
make added to the excitement OF the
occasion, which is one long to be re-
membered by. those present, as well as
by those who participated in the con-
test The fact that equal suffrage is
such vital question of the day served
to add interest to the accession.
The three judges were Mr. R. B. Dan

schools at Columbus; Mr.. julie FELTON,,

LOCAL BANKS
TAKE CARE
OF PATRONS
EVEN With MONEY SCARCE
Money Sufficient for COnSer-
VatiVG Needs

In Americus as in other Georgia Cit
les, better feeling has prevailed re-
Gently in commercial circles, partic-
ularly among the banks of the city,
which, with their usual liberality and
due conservatism, have unloosed the
purse strings, to an extent where mod
crate loans are needed in the general
conduct of business and in commercial
lines.
Our bank has never ceased to sup
ply it's patrons with funds needed, and
we are doing it today, as heretofore" :"
said a local banker yesterday in reply
to an inquiry regarding loans. Other
banks here are acting upon the same
conservative basis.
While it is true that money has not
seemed any too abundant recently, the
banks, it is said, have all along sup
piled their patrons with all the money
actually required in the conduct Of
their business. Now that money is re-
-quired in the planting and cultivation
OF the crops here, the banks are meet
ing the demand, as they always do.
Last year many patrons, owing to
the low price of cotton, did not pay all
of their obligations to the banks and
these had to be carried over, condi-
ton which tended to make money less
plentiful than it would have been 9TH
erwise The farmers, especially, will
borrow less money this year, it is said,
las they are demanding but little now.
Inquiry at several of the local banks
yesterday elected the statement that
money was, and had all along, been
loaned customers, particularly farm
ers, and that there was plenty here for
all conservative needs

FIRST GAME

Regulars to Mix ii With the

Jupe Pluvius willing, there will be
lively practice game this afternoon at
the park between the regulars ald
yannigans of the local team. If there
is no rain this morning, it is very like
Iy that the diamond will be in shape
for this afternoon.
One excellent point about the local
diamond is the fact that it is excep-
tionally we'll drained and dries off
quickly after rain. This has been
demonstrated many times in the games
that have been played here in the past.
1t should help a great deal this season
in enabling the locals to play visiting
teams here when on the average dia-
mond a game would be impossible.
Three additional players have ar
rived to take up practice work. They

other pitcher, is expected to report to-
day.
If the game is played this afternoon.
it will begin at $3.50 o'clock. No ad-
mission will be charged, and the pub
lie is invited to attend There are SUI
ficient men here to get two good teams
in the running, and the game should
prove pretty good one, if the weather

STOPPING FLOODS
AS BUSINESS idea
Frank B. Knight Speaks Of
ReCkIeSSDeSS

ST. Louis, April 11.-Prevention of
floods was presented as a profitable
business proposition by Frank B.
knight at today's session of the NJ
tional Drainage congress.
"The floods we have faced today
last year and in this long series ri
calamities that have passed have been
due to the reckless disregard OF
known laws of nature by the business
men of this country" he said. TO
day the same men are slowly awaken
ing to the fact that even yet by ar
tihcial means, we may control water,
by dams, food reservoirs and food
channels, levees, drainage and refer-
estation, and thereby regain the
wealth we have lost, and add to new
wealth we have not yet realized by
public development, real inland nayi-
cation, protection of life and existing
industry, an inland empire of the
most productive land the world has
ever known.
What would it have meant from a
strictly business point of dollars lost,
production stopped, commerce ami
traffic crippled, if the floods had not
occurred in Ohio and Indiana? What
has it cost the manufacturing ahl
mercantile establishments of Dayton
alone, and what would these institp-
tions have given could they by thus
giving have prevented the disaster?
"In 1912 the Mississippi valley suf-
fered the worst flood probably in It's
history; the recorded damage 70
property was about $25O,OOO,OOO.
'Why do our business associations
spend so much money and send their
representatives to the Orient to d.
velop a Chinese trade, the very Ella
ments of which they do not unde.-
stand, when we have an undevelopsi
empire along the Mississippi river?
Your attention is called to the fact
that the drainage area of the Mis-
sissippi river and its tributaries con-
tans about two-fifths the total ara
of the Uuited States, This most pro-
ductive portion of the country is faced
every year with losses caused by
floods, Interference with transporter
tion and commerce and the conse-
quently reduced purchasing power 81

FARMERS REJOICED AT
The APRIL SHOWERS
Which Fell Pretty Steadily
Yesterday

Farmers in the city yesterday re-
joiced at the fine rain which fell during
the greater portion of the day, and
which came at time most opportune.
The young crops were greatly in need
of rain and more particularly the cot
ton crop, recently planted and which
will now come up quickly. Gardens
needed rain as well, and in city and
country alike the showers proved ben
eficial.
The ground had been baked from the
heavy and continuous rains of two
weeks ago and moisture was much
needed. If seasons are at all propit-
ious during the remainder of the cur
rent month the. crops in this section of
the state, corn, oats and cotton, will
be greatly stimulated, and grow off
rapidly.

Washingtn, D. c., April 11.-House
democrats were prepared today for
the first sharp fight over the tariff
bill when the sugar schedule came up
in caucus. The democrats met be,
hind closed doors again today, with
the iron and steel tariff under con-
sideration, but with the prospect that
the sugar fight would break before
the end of the day.
Representative Underwood and his
associates, who are supporting the
presidents plan of a % per cent re-
duction in sugar duty with free SUI
gar in 1916, have shown no disposi-
ton to evade the sugar issue in the
caucus.
The democratic leader expected to
carry the sugar tariff proposal
through the caucus without change.
Study of the tariff bill continues at
the senate side, where democrats Of
the finance committee have called IN
experts to help them anaIyze the
house bill. The work now being
done by the committee will shorten the
time of tariff revision in the SEN
ate, it is claimed as the committee
will be prepared to act soon after
the house passes the bill.
The committee selected in Chicago
yesterday to urge upon President
Wilson the establishment of federal
bureau of markets, is expected to Sc,
cure attention during the present
session of congress for bills now
pending to create the proposed
new division in the agricultural de-
partment. Senator Hoke Smith has
again introduced the bill which has
twice passed the senate, but which was
finally lost last session when con-
ference committee dropped it from
the agricultural appropriation bill.
The start toward this end was
made in the last congress, when an
appropriation of $4,000 was secured
for the purposes named.
