WHY THE MEAL WAS HALTED
Nothing Seriously Wrong, but Old
Gentleman Had Some Trouble
With the Elusive Onion.

An aged country couple, on the
urgent invitation of a grandson who
lived in the city, were on for visit.
The grandson's wife was very anxious
that the first meal should be one
which the aged couple would enjoy
after their long ride in the train and
accordingly the table groaned under
its burden OF good things to eat.
In the course of the repast she no

PASSES SIX YEAR TERM
Senate Takes Action That Will Shut
Out Teddy, Taft and Wilson.

The first step was taken in the sen
ate toward the adoption of a consti.
tutional amendment fixing the term OF
president of the United States at six
years and making the chief executive
ineligible to succeed himself.
BY vote of AZ to 90, the Works
single term resolution was adopted
by the senate. The advocates of the
reform succeeded in mastering just
two more than the necessary two
thirds.
Under the terms of the resolution
as it passed the senate, Colonel Roose-
welt, Mr.. Taft and Woodrow Wilson
are eliminated from the field of pos
sibilties for the presidency in future
contests. The resolution, If it should
be ratified by three-fourths of the
states before the expiration of Mr.
Wilson's term will, however, have the
effect of adding two years to his ten.
ure, giving him a six instead of four
year term.
The resolution now goes to the house
and the likelihood is that it will be
passed by that body by more de-
cisive vote than resulted in the SEN
ate.

Evening In Washington.

A rollicking farewell was given to
the Taft administration at the annual
dinner OF the Gridiron club.
At the same time the club mem
bers took advantage Of their last
opportunity to play another Joke on
President Taft and those associated
with him in his administration OF
the national government. With
Uncle Joe" Cannon, and others
whose Official days in Washington
end March 4. the president was made
the target for many witty shaft. The
president was honored with a great
ovation, however, and invited to at.
tend every future dinner OF the club,
Both President Taft and former
Speaker Cannon opened their hearts
to the club members and spoke feel
ingly of their days in Washington,
now 30 nearly at an end.
The adventure of the Bull Moose,
and the probable fate awaiting Pre-
ident-elect Wilson and his advisers
were portrayed in the absurd funny
fashion which originated with the
Gridiron club.
There were even an inaugural pa
rade. and 1t was witnessed by a splen
did array Of cabinet officers, foreign
ambassadors and others.
The guests had hardly seated
themselves at the tables in the
beautifully decorated ball room oil

new role as Yale professor when ire
mendous boom, boom of bass drums

AMERICUS MADE
GOODS ATTRACTS
ATTENTION At FAIR
Two Enterprising Concerns Follow
Suggestion of The Times-R Recorder
and Send Displays to the State
Fair-Next Year Americas VIII
Have Big Exhibit.

While Sumter county is hopping up
the live stock and poultry show at the
state fair in Macon the manufacturing
industries of Americas are also az
tracing worlds of attention and bid
fair to take few awards themselves.
Two first class exhibits from the
fifty-odd manufacturing industries of
the 'city with high ideas and the cash
to back 'em up" are on display. The
two exhibits are from the Cannon
Screen company and the Southern Art
Roofing and Metal company.
Two weeks before the fair The
Times-Recorder suggested that gem
eral display Of Americus-made goods
be taken to the fair. 1t was found
that there was not enough time left in
which to prepare exhibits, so the sug-
gestion was dropped until next year.
But these two enterprising concerns
realized the timeliness of the sugges-
ton and sent up displays on their own
hook.
The interest that is being shown in
these two exhibits has made manufac-
turing concerns of Americas resolve
that next year every single enterprise
in the city will be represented.
Old Sumter is strictly ION the map"
and Americas is strictly "in the swim"
in the county.
