VICTORY SCORED
BY SUPPORTERS
OF PRESIDENT
ANfNT THE CURRENCY BILL
Speedy Action on Measure

Washington, D. c., Aug. 23-Wita

by an eleventh hour coup in when
Secretary Bryan completely endors I'd
President Wilson's plans for the ad-
ministration currency bill, the caucus
today continued consideration of the
measure and took up the re-discoun;
features with prospect of having the
completed bill presented to the house
early netx week. Administration lead
ers were more confident of harmo-
nious and speedy action.
Objections to features of the bill,
the outgrowth of the Chicago confer
ence of bankers probably will find ex-
preston ON the floor of the house and
will be presented to the senate bank
ing committee, where most hope of
amending the bill centers.
Supporters of the administration
currency bill scored an important
victory in the house democratic eau
Gus today when they brought to their
aid an unqualified endorsement of the
measure from Secretary Bryan and
defeated the proposed ''insurgent
amendments" that would have pro-
hibited interlocking directorates in
national or state banks is Incorporated
under the proposed new law.
Secretary Bryan, in a letter ad-
dressed to Chairman Glass of the cur
rency committee, approved the bill as
it stands, declaring President Wilson
had recognized fundamental rights OF
popular control in its provisions. He
asserted that the plank of the demo-
cratic platform against interlocking
directors was aimed chiefly at trusts,
and he urged democrats to stand BY
the president" and not to load down
the currency bill with any amend
ments which might endanger it's early
passage.

REGISTRATION IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Continues GOOD
MORE THAN 900 ON ROLL
City Schools viii Resume
Week Hence

More than six hundred pupils have
already been registered in the Ameri-
Gus public schools, and with still a
full week remaining wherein pupils
may register it is fair to assume that
the total will go considerably above
1900 within that time.
The past week has been a busy one
for Supt. Mathis in the registration OF
students, and there will be no dimin-
ution of that important work until the
final day permitted for registration.
The total enrolment during the pas:
year was 1920 pupils Of all grades, and
it is a very reasonable proposition that
this large number will be exceeded a;
the fall session this year. Many pu-
pills are still out of the city upon
summer iaunts and will register at
later date.
The usual rules for registration will
be enforced and the schools will open
one week from tomorrow under fay'
orable auspices. Quite number of
the teachers have returned from sum-
mer vacation and are ready to again.

sion.
Supt. Mathis is somewhat puzzled to
know how all of the hundreds of pu-
pills are to ge provided for with the
wholly inadequate facilities at hanl,
but some provision will be made, AMI
all of the 1900 or 1900 who registe'
will be taken care of in some man.

This lack of room will be temporars
only. as with the completion of the
two buildings to be erected this fall
there will be ample room for all stu
dents at the resumption of the ses-
sion after the Christmas holidays.

n. Y. AMERICANS
BUY BILL HOLDEN

Americus fans will be interested in
the announced sale to the New York
Americans of Bill Holden, the former
fast centerfielder of the Albany club.
Holden was sold to the New London
club, of the Eastern Association The
Albany club received $500 for him. He
made good with rush in the Eastern
Association, and the New London club
received numerous offers for him.
Holden was the fastest man in that
league, and at the time of his sale %
the New York Yankees was batting
.349 for the season. The price paid
for Holden by New York has not been
made public, but it must have been a
good one, as previous offer of $4,000
for him by Indianapolis had been turn
ed down.

Six hundred and fifty bales cotton oi
the new crop represented receipts IL

day. 23rd inst, as reported by the
four warehouses last night. Of this
number 225 bales were received yes
terdav. which were even more thar
the local trade had expected, in view
of the large receipts on Friday.
This number, $50 new bales, proba'
blv puts Americus in class to it
self and at the head of other Georgia
markets. none other having received
as much cotton during August, so fa1
as known.
With another full week of the cur
rent month, and receipts growinz
larger each day, it is a fair conclus.
ion that Americus warehouses viii
handle total of 1,500 or 1900 Aug
ust bales. Cotton of the early cror
is opening rapidly, and receipts viii
be good during the next month.
Of the 225 bales handled here yes
terday, nearly all of it was sold a
prevailing good prices, around IL 1 a
and II 3-S cents, and many thousand
dollars of new cotton money was
thus put in circulation. At current
prices farmers are inclined to sell
more particularly as they need cast
for current expenses.
< The receipts of $50 bales up to Aug.
ust 23d, compares with 80 bales re-
ceived to this date last year, and 95(
bales for the same date in 1911. As
only one-half the crop this year Is
fruited and opening yet, the compa :
fson is very favorable and points tC

GEORGIA BANKS
GET MILLIONS
FROM TREASURY
$l,SOO,OOO The AMOUNT DUE
Money Leaned for Moving
The Crops

Washington, Aug. 23.-One million
eight hundred thousand dollars is to
be dumped into the state of Georgia
by the United States treasury depart
ment, to facilitate the movement Of
the cotton crop. The money will
be distributed among the cities OF
Savannah, Atlanta, Macon and Angus
ia. On a basis of national banking il
is believed that upwards of $750,001
will be deposited in the banks of At
lanta, but the exact figures are not
known definitely.
A formal statement will be issue
probably Monday by Assistant Seer
tary Williams, in which the allotment
to the several banks will be made
known. 1t was learned today that tie
treasury department has begun al
ready to distribute the fund, and that
the money will be moved from Wash.
ington just as rapidly as the security
of the several depositaries are ap-
proved.
The Atlanta national banks will re
ceive the money in ten days, for !:
will require that much time to ar.
range all the necessary details. Hall
the amount will be sent this time, and
the balance next month. The govern
ment will call for it's return in quar-
terly payments beginning December l.
and ending March 1. 1t is not possible
to learn how the total amount will be
pro-rated among the Atlanta banks.
AS to the distribution to the cities
of the state, it is probable Macon wi
receive $50O,0O0, and Savannah and
Augusta will get $250,OOO each. That
Macon gets as much as Savannah and
Augusta combined can be explained
by the fact that Macon has twice as
many national banks. The figures on
these Georgia cities, however, are not
authoritative, but are fairly accurate
estimates.
The local clearing house has re-
ceived acircular from the treasury de-
partment outlining the various condi-
tions of the currency advance, most
of which are already familiar.

GIRLS SHOCKING STORY
SENDS FARMERS TO JAIL
Alleged white Slavery" Case
Stirs North Georgia

Rome, Ga, August 23-News has
reached Rome this afternoon of a
shocking case of alleged white slavery
which has caused the arrest of Will
and George Walker, prominent farm
ers of Walker county, who are now III
jail in Lafayette under indictment
for kidnapping and awaiting trial in
Walker superior court next week. IL
is alleged that they lured from her
home Susie tricks, the pretty IA
year-old daughter of James Fricks, a
took her to George Walker 5
home, in the absence of his wifi },
where she spent the night, both me /
becoming intimate with her, conceal
ed her the next day from her par
ents, and put her on train bound fo.
Alabama City, Ala, where George
Walker, it is said, promised to join
her.
The child attracted the attention CT
the railroad conductor, who persuaded
her to return home. She had $13 in
her possession, which she said George
Walker had given her. She is said
to be unusually attractive and intelli-
gent. She left a note for her mother
bidding goodbye and stating that she
was to be married at an early dat
and that she and her husband expect
ed to go to Oklahoma. In her note
she promised her mother to "be a
good girl and say my prayers every
night before 1 go to bed"
The parents of the little girl were
alarmed at her absence and made a
careful search for her, but were un-
able to locate her. George Walker,
the alleged instigator of the crime, is
a married man, his wife being q
daughter of T. ]. Bandy, a wealthy
citizen of Walker county.
Solicitor General w H. Ennis savs
that he expects to call the attention
OF the United States authorities to the
mater and have the Walkers prosecut-
ed under the white slave act, inasmuch
as the child was sent into another
state.
The affair has caused much excite
ment and indignation in Walker coun-
ty and it is expected that prompt &C
tion will be taken at the court term

DYNAMITE USED
IN BLOWING UP
negro VILLAGE
TROUBLE in MITCHELL CO.
White Men Resort tOEXtreme
Measure

Moultrie, Ca, Aug. 23.-Parties
coming here from Mitchell county
bring tiding to Moultrie of the de-
struction of the negro village o.
Greenough by a mob of infuriated
white men
Trouble first occurred between
Bradley Brothers, the two proprietors
of the leading store of Greenougn,
and John Davis & Brother, two young
white men of the community, and
grew out of the failure of the Brad
leys to return some money that had
been advanced to them.
John Davis was assaulted by one
of the Bradleys and knocked senseless
with a piece of scantling.
The white boys returned home and
the Bradleys left the village.
At night mob of white men as
sembled in the community and armed
with dynamite and such artillery as
was available, visited the negro vii
lage, planted dynamite under the
Bradleys store and blew it into
atoms, set fire to other stores,
fired into the negro residence seq
tions and received return fire from
armed negroes for a time.
The firing seems to have been in
effective, as no deaths were reported.
Fear of afurther outbreak has been
felt by the non-combatants of the
community, but the officers now ap-
prehend no further trouble. The Brad
leys have not yet been arrested.
