BRYAN TALKS RELIGION
INA CAPITAL THEATRE
Men and Women at Future
Meetings

Washington, D. c., April 7.-Secra-
tary Bryan, laying aside affairs of the
state department Sunday, delivered
before a religious mass meeting the
first of a series of Sunday afternoon
addresses which he will make under
the auspices of the Christian Endeavor
union of the district of Columbia. H
spoke in one of the downtown thea
ters, every seat being taken
1t originally was planned to have the
meetings for men alone, but it was de
cided that the remainder of the series
should be open to men and women
alike.
Mr.. Bryan said he always was glad
to address religious meetings for men
in an effort to counteract growing ten
denotes toward skepticism. Resenting
the implication often heard that man
who lives a spiritual life is narrow sr
than he who confines himself to purely
material things Mr. Bryan said: ~.
a man felt his spiritual starvation as
keenly as he does physical starvation
or if his spiritual leanness showed rs
plainly as his material leanness, l;
would be easier to give him spiritual
food"

REPORT OF HOMICIDE
near ROCHELLE
Was Received Here YGStGr.
day

Parties from Rochelle in Americus
Monday related the particulars of a
homicide occurring there in the early
morning wherein Peter Coleman, a
wealthy and well known resident of the
county, killed Leon Melvin, a lad 9!
seventeen years. From statements re-
garding the tragedy it appears that
Coleman was incensed with young
Melvin for having testified against him
a case before the grand jury where
in Coleman was charged with having
fired a gun into the Melvin residence
recently. There were several eye-wij'
nesses to the tragedy and it is said that
feeling against Coleman is very
strong. He was arrested and commit
ted to the Wilcox county Jail.

ESTIMATE
Loss At
$4,000
IN RECENT SMITHVTLLE FIRE
Practically No Insurance on
The Buildings

In Smithville yesterday a represent
atiye of The Times Recorder present
to secure a first-hand view of the
wreck left by the fire was told that
the loss would undoubtedly reach as
high as $4,000, one merchant alone
B. F. Christie, having lost property 70
the amount of $4,000.
1t is claimed that these figures are
estimates, as there was NJ
insurance at all on the buildings, which
We're completely burned, so that no
excessive estimates of loss would be
placed upon them for the purpose or
endeavoring to secure fire damage. On
ly the store of ]. A. Hill was insured.
Ihls store was only partly damaged,
being the brick store which prevented
the fire from wiping out the business
section of the town.
Another story of the origin of the
fire was told in Smithville. 1t was to
the effect that Douglas Turner, the boy
whose leg was burned by the flames,
caused the fire by dropping a cigarette
stub in a puddle of gasoline in the
pressing club room. This is the sub
stance of the story told by the negro
presser as to the origin of tn fire
while the Turner boy claims the ne
gro started it by sousing heated iron
in a can of gasoline.

SEASON OF
PRACTICE IS
PRIED Open
SNAPPY PRACTICE YESTERDAY
Manager Weber is Rounding
Men Into Shape

Manager Harry Weber the sandy
haired leader of the Muckalee braves,
led forth a band of eight warriors yes
terday morning to pry open the prac-
tice season. The morning practice was
short and snappy and followed by tho
same kind in the afternoon.
In addition to the men trying for
positions on the team in the afternoon,
John Wheatley was on deck to timber
up and enjoy little ball chasing. The
days work was as satisfactory as could
be expected, and Manager Weber hopes
to have more men out this afternoon,
as they will be floating in on various
trains during the week.
Manager Weber has strings on a
number of players who will arrive very
soon. He is constantly on the lookout
for others. Many of those who signed
for try-outs would be here now if it
were not for that fact that it was
thought at first that the practice season
would not begin here until April Is.
Those who are here will be in pretty
good shape for the games with Albany
next Monday and Tuesday.

aeCnt of the R. L. Polk Company was
il Americus last May and secured the
pledges of number of business men

Mr.. Alexander S. Murie is the special
representative of the directory compa-
ny who is now in Americus, and who

The R. L. Polk Company is well
known as makers of directories, and
they promise to give the people OF

cured in a city of this size. In speak
ing of the practical features of he
work of making directory, Mr.. Murie

COMMISSIONERS
DENY REQUEST
OF CITY COUNCIL
FOR PART OF COUNTY GANG
To Be Used in Working Roads
Through City

The county commissioners in session
Monday refused the request made by
city council for the use of a certain
portion of the county chaingang forces
to work the main roads of the county
that lead through Americus, and as is
done in other cities of the state. For
nal request having been refused, the
city council will take other steps to
the end of attaining this result.
Mandamus proceedings will, in all
probability, result, and the issue viii
be tried out in superior court before
Judge Littlejohn, as the law upon this
point is very clear, it is claimed.
The committee from the city coun-
Gil consisted of Aldermen Lee Allen,
George Oliver and T. l.. Bell, City
Attorney Hollis Fort and City Engineer
u. B. Ansley Alderman Bell, as
spokesman for the committee, express
ed at length the wishes of council il
the premises.
1t was not asked that the entire
force of convicts be brought here at
any time, but instead, that squal
of twenty men, with ten mules, be
placed at the disposal of the city en-
gineer and under his direction, th"t
this comparatively small force keep in
repair the main roads of the county
that lead through the city.
The fact was cited that in all other
towns of Sumter county the streets
therein have been for years kept in
repair by the county gang, and that
Americus only asked as much as has
been accorded these sister towns. 1t
was also pointed out that in Albany,
Macon, Atlanta, Columbus and other
cities of the state this was done.
Mr.. Allen stated that, inasmuch as
the city of Americus returned more
than $4,25O.OOO of the $7OOO,O00 of
property tax of the county, and that
as the city was essentially part OF
the county, it was entitled to at least
share of the benefits arising from
taxation. the burden of which the city
taxpayers had always borne uncom-
plainingly during the period of roads
/ improvement
When the request of the committee
was refused by the commissioners, for.
NAL notice was served upon them o.
the intention of council to take other
Isteps to attain the end desired.

8 BARRELS
OF WHISKEY
\ WAS seized
CLAIMED TO Be FRAzIER'S
Sheriff Fuller Made the Raid
Yesterday Morning

AS the result of a raid made yeste"-
day morning by Sheriff Fuller and
Deputy Sheriff Harvey, eight barrels
of whiskey in bottles were seized in
an clubhouse on the Guerry place about
two and half miles west of the city.
1t is claimed by Sheriff Fuller, with
what is thought to be most excellent
evidence, that the whiskey was the
property of H. d. Frazier. The key to
the outhouse, which is an old building
remote from the public road, was found
on the person of Frazier.
1t is also said that the raid was made
within a very short time after the
whiskey was taken out to the outhouse
by Frazier, as he is believed to have
taken the whiskey to the Guerry place
at some hour between midnight and
dawn yesterday morning Sheriff Fuller
followed the tracks of the wagon il
which the whiskey was moved to the
building, and these were still fresh and
Dlain This makes a total of about
nine barrels of whiskey which Sheriff
Fuller has seized from Frazier recent
ly, the other having been taken when
Frazier's stand just outside the city
limits on the west was raided.
Frazier had just finished serving a
term in Jail for contempt of court, his
sentence having expired about two
weeks ago.
A case has been made against Fraz-
ier, who has persistently violated the
prohibition law for more than a yeac
as is shown by the actual dates of the
case docketed against him by the ny
nicipal and county authorities He was
driven from the city by the repeated
raids made upon his stand by the city
authorities.
