CITY COURT SESSION
Will Be SUSPENDED
While Special Superior Court
Session is On

On account of the call for a special
session of the superior court of Sum
ter county for next Monday, the ses-
sion of the city court now in progress
will be suspended until the special ses-
sion of the superior court ends.
This is made necessary, of course
from the mere fact that two sessions
of court cannot be held here at the
same time. Consequently the special
session of the superior court will take
precedence over the session of the city
court.
Announcement is made of this fact
because many have inquired whether
there will be conflict between til,
two courts. There will be no sucr
conflict, as has been explained. as thu
special session OF the superior cour
will take precedence over the regular
session OF the city court.

WATERMELONS ARE NOW
Being harvested HERE
Local Crop Being Gathered
For Market

The Americus market is now receiv-
ing the first watermelons from local
growers, and while not as fine, per-
haps, as they will be a week or two
hence, find ready sale.
Shipments of melons from South
Georgia counties are also being made
to Americus, but the shipped fruit
does not compare with the melons
grown here, as connoisseurs well
know. The drouth is damaging the
melon fields considerably, as at this
stage of growth they require consid-
cradle moisture, and this has not been
afforded during the past two weeks.
There is a considerable area plant
ed in melons in Sumter county, more
particularly in the Andersonville dis
trict, whence large shipments are
now going forward to the markets o.
the North and West. Watermelons
alone will be available this season, as
the cantaloupe crop is unusually small
as compared Gith the fine crops oi
other years.

POSITIONS OF FOREMEN
HAVE Been ABOLISHED
With Decreased Working
Here

The positions of foreman of tho
boiler shops and of the blacksmith
shops at the Seaboard shops in Ameri-
Gus have just been abolished, as with
the small number of men now work
ing in each of these departments the
need of foremen was not deemed a
necessity any longer.
The abolition of the two positions
resulted in the laying off of Mr.. James
Denham, for twenty-three years fore,
man of the boiler shops, and Mr.. w. W.
Roberts, for twenty years foreman OF
the blacksmith shops of the Sea-
board
The forces at present employed there
consist of three boilermakers, one
blacksmith, four machinists and two
apprentice machinists, besides the un-
skilled help about the roundhouse and
machine shops. All of these, it IS
said, will be under the direction Of
General Foreman Elan Mauk. This
estimate does not include the men
employed in the car shops, of which
there are several mechanics and help
ers.

Cheaper RECORD
FULLY ASSURED
BY DEMOCRATS
WHEAT and FLOUR ARE FREE
Farm Products Are Also on
Free List

Washington, D c., June 26.-Oppo-
sition to a recommendation of the SEN
countervailing duty on wheat and
flour, was set afoot today when the
democratic caucus resumed work on
the tariff bill
The question was thought to have
been determined finally in the caucus
two days ago, but late yesterday it
was brought up and there now is a
sentiment to abandon the countervail-
ing duty, leaving wheat and -four or
the unrestricted free list, with live
stock and meats.
Opponents of the countervailing
duty claim that there is no necessity
for retaliatory tariff on any pro-
ducts if they are to be free liste1.
1t is contended that if any free listed
agricultural products are to be re-
stricted, all should be.
Items for today to be passed upon,
beside agriculture, are silks, liffuors
pulp and paper, sundries and free lis1.
1t is believed, however, that all can
be disposed of by tomorrow when the
Administrative features and income
tax may be taken up.
The caucus failed to decide the
countervailing duty question on wheat
and -four before recess. a we'll de.
fined movement developed to put all
table products ON the free list, butter
was cut from TO Q 1-2 cents a pound,
when the attendance was slight, but
later several senators urged that it be
put on the free list.
A general free list debate followed,
various senators proposing to put all
breadstuffs, cheese, beans, peas and
other vegetables on the free list No
decision was reached on any of these
items, except butter, which will have
to be reconsidered if the efforts Ct
senator's to put it on the free list arc
recognized

A CHA|NGANG
SENTENCE FUR
DINk FRAZIER
FOUR MONTHS GIVEN HIM
By Judge Harper in City
Court Yesterday

A straight chaingang sentence, with
no alternative sentence, was given
Dink Frazier yesterday in the city
court when Judge Harper sentenced
him to serve four months in the coun-
ty chaingang.
The last one of the several cases
against Frazier was taken up and
tried, with the result that he was con-
victed by the jury. 1t was understood
that the last case on the docket, it IS
said, would be taken up and tried,
thereby dispensing with the others.
Frazier's record as a vioator of the
prohibition law has been notorious. He
first began his operations in the city
from which he was driven to the
nearby territory by raids of the city
police force After operating for some
time outside the city, he was finally
'adjudged in contempt of court, having
served Jail sentence for this Of
fense.

STREET signs TO GUIDE
DRIVERS OF VEHICLES
Have Been Placed at PriRCi.
pal Corners

Street signs for the guidance OF
the drivers of vehicles here have been
placed at the main corners of thu
most frequented streets. These signs
were placed in position recently, and
they are so placed that the mere po-
sition of the sign serves to show
drivers how they should drive their
cars at the corners.
The new signs are of the kind used
in many cities in the giving of practi-
cal directions for the driving of We
hicles. They are so constructed as TO
give the admonition, Keep to the
right" to drivers, no matter from
what direction they may approach
them. The signs are far more effec-
tive than any officers stationed at the
corners might be, as they are sta
tionary and are in such positions that
driving around them to the rignt
serves the purpose intended by the
traffic ordinance.

LIQUOR Fight
SEEMS ASSURED
IN LEGISLATURE
LOBBY ALREADY BUSY there
Effort Made to Enforce Webb
Law

Atlanta, Ga, June 26. - The first
organized movement of the prohibi-
ton forces in the legislature came on
Thursday morning, when Senator j.
H. Hixon, Of the thirty-seventh dis
trict, introduced a bill which pr)-
vides for the enforcement of the Webb
law in Georgia. The bill provides that
the shipping of all spurious liquors in
tc Georgia has the sanction of the An
ti-Saloon league.
1t became known this morning that
the prohibition leaders in the gen.
eral assembly are seriously consider
ing the advisability of introducing res
olutions providing for the appoint
ment of a joint committee from the
house and senate to investigate pres
ent rumors that a well organized and
powerful liquor and beer lobby was al
work among the Legislators.
1t also developed that the prohi-
bitionists would bend their energies
at this session to driving the liquor
lobbyists out into the open, and to,
ward having a law enacted which will
make a direct application to Georgia
of the national law known as the
Webb bill.
Such law, if passed, will prohibit
the shipment of liquors and malt bever-
ages into the state, except in very
limited quantities and to individuals
who desire them for personal use. A
bill of this kind was introduced today
district, who has ben se1ectedhCFVV
by Senator Hixon, of the Thirty
seventh district, who has been selected
by the Anti-Saloon league of Georg a
to lead the fight in the senate for more
stringent legislation.
The prohibition fight will be led in
the senate this year by Senator'S
Hiedon, of the 9th district, and Sena-
tor W. E. Searcy, Sr., Of the 26th dis
trict. Over in the house the leaders
will be Representative Sheppard, of
Sumter, Fullbright, of Burke and Hop
kins, of Thomas.
Briefly, the bill introduced in the
senate by Senator Hixdn and upon
which the temperance forces will CEN
ter their attention and strength, pro-
vides that mo malt, spirituous or vim
GUS liquors can be brought into Geo~-
ga by any common carrier" Follow
'rg the intent of the Webb bill, 1t VII
prevent all liquor shipments into the
state of Georgia, notably from Tennes-
see and Florida.
The Webb law is intended to confar
upon states the right to legislate N
this manner, and not to be in violation

PROMOTION FOR
GEORGIAN IN The
CONSULAR field
nat STEWART GOES TO ITALY
Americas Friends Pleased at
Announcement

kilograms received here yesterday
from Senator Hoke Smith and others
al Washington conveyed the very graf.
flying intelligence that President W l.
son had just made the appointment OF
United States consul at Milan, TIA Y,
having given the place to Hon, Nathan
iel B. Stewart, of Georgia, at present
consul at Durham, Natal, British Sou h
Africa.
The appointment will go to the SEN
ate shortly for confirmation and it IS
quite to be expected that the change
of consular posts will be made in July
Mr.. Stewart and family coming to re-
side in the charming and delightful
Italian city.
Local interest in this merited PR
motion of Consul Stewart is due tC
the fact that he is almost citizen OF
Americus. where he is so well known
and esteemed, and where he has prop
erty interests. Mr. Stewart is native
Of Schley county, but Sumter has al
ways laid claim to him as well.
1t was in Americus, just ightee er
months ago, that Mr.. Stewart, coming
from his distant home on the other
side of the globe, led to the altar one
of Americus' most cultured ana charm
ing young women, Mrs. Lucy Cobt
Taylor, daughter of Judge John A
Cobb, and who has since been with him
IN his foreign field of labor.
While their environment in Dunbar
is charming withal, the change to th'
quaint and beautiful city of Milan vii
be an agreeable one, and friends
throughout Georgia will congratulate
Mr.. Stewart thereupon.
A fact of interest is that another
Georgian, Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall, Of
Savannah, has the Swiss post and tn;
two representatives of the United
States will be near each other.
Mr.. Stewart has been in the con-
sular service almost since his gradua-
ton from the University of Georgia al
Athens, and no other official has a
more excellent record, or was NOR
deserving of the promotion that has
come to him after years of service in
the foreign field. His first post was
at Madras, India, where he spent three
years, going thence to his present post
of duty in British South Africa

At it's recent meeting the Board Of
Education formally rejected all the

however, will be constructed, new bids
