Choir Concert

Lack of time ana space forbade i
thoroughly detailed account of each
number but the concert ,iven by the
Congregational Church CEoir Friday
night was certainly an affair that re-
fleets much credit upon it's director.
Prof. Froysaa.
1t was an inspiration beyond what
one might have anticipated and the
four numbers by the whole choir,
which opened the program, reaching
its climax in the last number "Stone
Him to- DEATH" revealed not only
splendid ensemble work and most suil-
full preparation but voices such as but
few towns boast of.
The dramatic reading by Miss Wy.
man varied the program and pleased
her audience very much from the
standpoint of selection and excellent
work and perhaps Mrs. Jean Cras-
well has never shown her voice to
better advantage than In her selection
of "My Heart is Weary" by Goring
Thomas. In it's redition she had un-
usual opportunity to exhibit the mag
nificance Of range, exquisite quantity.
and depth of tone her voice possesses
and her audience manifested its de-
light in no doubtful manner.
Mr.. Meyer sang LeTambour Major
in his usual animated manner. The.
violin solos, Largo" by Tartini, "Se.-
enade" by Drdla and the "2nd Hun
garian Dance" by Brahms Hubay,
showed Prof. Froysaa most masterful
and sympathetic with his material and
wrought much enthusiasm in his
hearers. The last number was espec-
tally appreciated and in response to
applause, he delightfully."- gave "The
Elm Dance" by Grieg.
Among the treats Of the program,
were the violin Duets by Dean Good
sell Of the Conservatory and Prof.
Froysaa, showing high professional
work. After beautifully rendering
Beriot's Adigio Cantabile and the ALE.
gretto, they responded to encore by
playing another violin Duet by Viot-
tin. We wish we might hear the two
together oftener
The final number was by the choir
"The Lord is my Light" by Parker and
again they accomplished a splendid en-
semble and ended concert which was
Of the highest standard from beginning
to end.
Miss Katherine Fjelde played the
piano Accomplishments to the violin
solos with artistic discernment and
Miss Chambard was also thoroughly
appreciated for her good accompani-
ment work on the piano

Weather IS
SPRING-LIKE
IN AMERICUS
DELIGHTFUL MIDWINTER DAY
Cold That is Coming All The
More Keen

Americas and this section of Georgia
has been experiencing lately most de-
lightful weather For some time here,
with the exception of few interven-
ing days, the weather has been mild
and pleasant. Yesterday was one OF
the most enjoyable days experienced
here in some time, as it was neither
too warm nor too cold
Though other sections of the coun-
try farther north than Americas have
likewise been favored with unusually
mild weather this winter, including
New England and the southeasterly
provinces of Canada, those sections
have had SHOWS and other bad bliz-
Zardy weather at times. With the ex-
ception of the record-breaking Thanks
giving snow the weather here has
not been very cold during the entire
winter.
While long distance forecasts for
the remainder of the winter are little
better than the fiimsiest guess work,
it would seem that the winter is to be
a mild one. Huckleberry blossoms al
most in full bloom were reported the
first part of the week, which is unus-
ual for this time Of the year.

HOT SENATORIAL
Fight IN ARKANSAS
A Number Of Candidates for
Davis Seat

Little Rock, Ark, January 1.-THE
senatorial contest precipitated by the
death of Senator jeff Davis is the all
absorbing subject of discussion among
the members of the Arkansas legisla-
ture who assembled here to-day for
the regular biennial session. The ind
cations are that the legislative pro-
gramme will be left practically un,
touched until the senatorship is dis
posed of, The situation that confronts
the lawmakers and the politicians is
ar unusual one. For many years Ar
kansas has settled its contests for the
the United States Senatorship in the
regular Democratic primaries The
fact that the time limitation renders
, choice of senator by the usual meth
cd now practically impossible adds in
terest to the situation, since it will
mean, in the opinion of the politicians,
grand free-for-all contest before the
Legislature. The selection must be
made before March 4, on which date
the service of ]. n. Heiskell, appointed
to fill the unexpired term of Senate"
Davis, will end. Within another week
or ten days it is expected that the sit
uation will be cleared up considerably
by the elimination of some of those
now mentioned for the senatorship and
1 the voluntary withdrawal of others
1from the contest At present nearly a
dozen names are mentioned in con-
tnection with the honor Those most
frequently mentioned are Jos. T. Rob
inson, who has just taken Office as gov
ernor, George Donaghey, who has just
retired from the governorship, several
of the present representatives in con
gress, and former Congressman Ste
phen Brundige, whom Davis defeated
in the primaries last fall.

new MEXICO
LOST MONEY
Taxation For Revenue Scheme
Now

Sante Fe., N. NJ, January 14-Some
serious problems are to be solved By
the legislature of New Mexico, which
conyenes today for the first regular
session since Statehood. Occupying
first place on the agenda are the sub
jects of taxation and revenue. The new
state closed the first year of it's career
with big sum on the wrong side of
the ledger. 1t is therefore up to the
lawmakers to revise the States taxa
ton scheme so that in future the in
come may cover the expenses of the
State government
Of the many legislative measures
that will be proposed for consideration
| the most important from the stand
point of public interest will be those
dealing with Statewide prohibition
and local option Both proposals were
defeated by a narrow margin in the
constitutional convention. Since then
the temperance element has waged 4
vigorous campaign and it is certain
that one or both of the measures will
be among the first introduced at this
session.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

l hereby announce myself a--candi-
date~for Sheriff of Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of W. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ca, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested us to add
third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty there all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr. j.
B. Nicholson will be jailer and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

TO INVESTIGATE
The PRUDENTIAL
COMMITTEE
in PROBING At MERCER
Not Aimed at DR.. Jameson
Alone

Macon, Ga, Jan. 14.-The pruden-
tial committee of Mercer University,
consisting of Andrew w. Lane, chair
man; E. Y Mallary, A. L. Adams, Rev.
E. G. Dargan and E. n. Jelks, will be
probed and investigated by the special
committee from the board of trustees,
as we'll as President S. Y. Jameson.
This was learned today from an au-
thoritative source and was borne out
by a card written by Rev. John A.
White, a member of the board of trus-
tees of Mercer university, and who is
pastor of the Second Baptist church in
Atlanta.
Dr. White says: 1T is not an in
vestigation of DR.. Jameson personally,
but of the administration of the col
lege affairs by the president, faculty
and prudential committee, in which
there is friction between the president
and the prudential committee. 1t is,
therefore, an investigation that con-
Germs the prudential committee and Dr..
Jameson, not one alone"
This statement from Dr. White puts
an entirely new light on the matter
and some interesting developments
are likely to come as a result. The
special committee, of which Judge
Thomas A. Parker is chairman, VIII
convene here tomorrow for the pu;-
pose of conducting the investigation.
The other members of the committee
are w. A. Taliaferro, of Dublin; E. 4.
Galloway of Washington; w. B.
Hartman, of Commerce, and Rev.
Lansing Burrows, of Americas.
To represent DR.. Jameson at the in
vestigation Rev. Graham Forester,
of West Point, former attorney, and
Hon. Cliff NJ. Walker, a we'll known
lawyer of Monroe, arrived in the city
this afternoon. They went into an inn
me diate conference with DR.. Jameson

mittee is said to be at the bottom of
