TEACHERS OF
WEBSTER ARE
Up IN ARMS
THEY Want PAY REGULARLY

Against Teachers
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Especial to TimeS-Recorder,)
Weston, Ca, Feb. 3.-Teachers Of
the schools of Webster county are up
in arms in an endeavor to get the state
of Georgia to pay them promptly, just
as it does it's other employees. At
recent meeting Of teachers of the coun-
ty here resolutions were passed max
ing vigorous objections to the present
system. The resolutions are as fol-
lows:
Whereas, The teachers of the pub
lie schools of Georgia, are employees
just as others employed in the various
departments of the state.
'And whereas, An unlawful discrim-
ination is made in the payment Of sal
aries as between the teachers and
other employees, the latter being paid
promptly, while the teachers are COM
PEELED to take what is left in the treas
ury, or discount their claims in order
to meet their obligations.
Therefore be it, Resolved that We
the teachers of Webster county, Geor-
gia, at a meeting of the Webster Coun-
ty Teachers association held in Insti-
tuition this the oath day of January,
1913, respectfully ask the General AS
sembly of Georgia to enact such laws
as will place the teachers of Georgia
upon the same footing as other en-
ployees of the state, either by keeping
the general and special appropriations
for the common schools separated, Or
by devising other means by which the
object of this resolution can be at
tanned.
THAT a copy of this resolution be
furnished to The Honorable c. c.
Tracy, member of the General Assem-
bly, of Webster county, with our urgent
request that he give the matter his
earnest support"
The resolutions are signed by A. r.
-Jordan, president of the association,
and by Miss Willie Tullis, secretary.

ORCHARDS HERE
NOT SERIOUSLY
INJURED YET
RESULT OF WARM WEATHER
Growers Are Inclined to
Hope for Good Crop

Americu fruit growers are still quite
hopeful regarding the peach crop pros
pect this year, despite the very mild
winter, and the danger attending the
orchards as the result of the spring
like weather a week ago. 1t was
warm enough to start the trees bud
ding, had the weather thus continued
very long.
Local growers state that the trees
have not yet put out buds to the ex-
tent where freeze would kill them,
and are inclined to hope for good r.
suits.
Just now the growers here, as else
where in the peach district, are busy
spraying trees and shaping up their
orchards. The same conditions pre-
vail around Fort Valley and Marshall
vile, where are located many OF the
largest and finest peach orchards to be
found in the state.
Despite the cutting down of the Bag
ley-Ray orchard, there are still about
10000 bearing trees in the Americas
territory.

SUMTER Vets
MUST AWAIT
Their MONEY
PENSION FUND DELAYED
On Account of Taxes Coming
in Slowly

Veterans and pensioners of Sumter
county must wait for their pension
money this year a little longer than
usual, as the pension commissioner is
delayed in sending out the money OH
account of the slowness of the taxes
coming in at the state capitol
Ordinarily the pensioners of the
county are paid about the first or
middle part of February, but this year
they must wait till about the first =
March. 1t is hoped here that the
money for pensions in Sumter county
will be available by March 1.
Captain John A. Cobb, ordinary,
made this announcement recently, IS
he wishes the veterans in the county
to be made aware of the reason why
pension funds are not available for
them here. AS soon as the ordinary re-
ceives the fund from Commissioner
Lindsay he will notify the veterans Of
Sumter county Immediately.

HEARING ON
Mileage IS
IN PROGRESS
BEFORE, R. R. COMMISSION
Injunction Suits Are Beina
Heard

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. S.-The hearing
on the injunction suits brought by
eight Georgia railroads against the
state railroad commission and the
travelling mems organizations to pre-
vent the enforcement of the commits
sions orders requesting them to pull
mileage on trains was begun before
Judge w. D. Ellis, of the Fulton SUI
perior court Monday morning.
Answers in the shape of several in
dividual demurrers, together with one
general demurrer were filed by the de-
PENDANTS. The hearing opened with
the suit brought by the Louisville and
Nashville railroad which is one of the
eight roads that last week obtained
temporary injunctions against the en-
forcement of the mileage pulling or
der.
The cases are grouped into three
classes, the Louisville and Nashville
forming one, the Central of Georgia 4
second, and the following railroads
composing the third class: Seaboard
Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line, South
ern, Georgia Southern and Florida,
Charleston and Western Carolina, and
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic.
The difference between the classes be-
ing due to the wording in the contents
Of the mileage boks sold by the sew
eral roads.
1t will probably be two or three
days before the hearing is concluded
and Judge Bell determines whether he
will grant the permanent iniunctiols
prayed for.
In its answer to the suits the state
railroad commission contends that the
South is the only section of the coun-
try where the railroads refuse to pull
mileage on trains and that in the
north and east the holder of a mileage
book is permitted to pay the fares of
others out of his own mileage.
Answering the claim of the roads
that the issuance of mileage books is
based upon a special contract with
the purchaser the commission con-
tends that even if mileage is a spe-
cial contract the roads have no right
to place upon this contract unreasan-
able restrictions.
Replying to the railroads allega-
tions that if mileage were pulled oa
trains great difficulties would be ex-
perienced in auditing and there would
be danger of loss to the carriers
through dishonest conductors, the de-
fendant commission characterized
these difficulties as more imaginary
than real and insisted that the trav-
cling public should not be inconven-
fenced because some of the railroads
employees might perchance be dishon-
est.

HEAVY RAINS
FOR SUMTER
ON YESTERDAY
RAIN STORM EXPERIENCED
Indications Are for Fair and
Cool Weather

General rains were experienced
throughout the county yesterday, COM
ing as climax to several days of ra-
ther unsettled weather Though there
may be still other showers to be ex-
perienced for a day or two, the in1i-
cations are for fair and cool weather
very soon.
The rains yesterday and recently
were very hard ones, giving good sea-
sons for the farmers, to whom they are
valuable mainly for oats and other
winter crops, as spring planting has
not yet begun. Gardeners in the city
and county are pleased with the rains,
which, though heavy, will help garden
ing generally.
1t was rumored here yesterday that
hail accompanied the severe rain anI
thunderstorm that broke over the city
in the early afternoon. No confrma-
ton of this report was definitely OBJ
tanned. The lightning accompanying
the rain storm was rather marked,
however, and furnished the somewhat
unusual spectacle of thunderstorm.

READY To-
Fight IN
BALKANS
ARMIsTICE NOW AT AN End
Powers Urged Turkey to
Yield

Sofia, Feb. 3.-It was announced
this afternoon that "hostilities will be
reoenped against the Turkish for
tress of Adrianople by the joint Bull
garian and Servian armies unless by
7 o'clock tonight the Bulgarian gov
ernment has been informed that Tur-
key acceptsC integrally the sugges-
tions contained in the note handed to
the porte by the European powers"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-02-04

London, Feb 3.-The war between
Turkey and Bulgarian, Greece, Monte
negro and Servia will begin again at
7 o'clock this evening, unless the last
peace efforts of the powers should
succeed, or Turkey decide at the elev-
enth hour to surrender.
1t has even been decided who shall
fire the first shot, as Turkey has stat
ed she will allow her adversaries 20
take the aggressive.
The Immediate object of the allied
armies is the capture of Adrianople
which has hitherto presented such a
firm front to it's besiegers. Upon this
fortress the combined Bulgarian and
Servian armies, the latter well sup
piled with siege artillery, will con-
SSA1bl e&IO IhCll LUIS.
For the present the Bulgarian gem
erals will simply try to hold the
Turkish troops at Tchatalja.
King Nichalos, of Montenegro, has
started again for the Turkish fortress
of Scutari. The king himself Will
take the direction of the renewed at
tack. He hopes, by capturing the
city and thus establishing an accom-
plished fact, to obtain a better chance
of keeping definite possession of it
when peace finally comes.
In the western Turkish province Of
Epirus, which touches the Grecian
border, the Greek troops, under COM
mand of Crown Prince Constantine,
have great hopes of breaking down the
splendid defense which the Ottoman
army has thus far offered.
The Servian armies alone of the
Balkan allies have completed their
campaign, and have now placed many
of their troops at the disposal of their
comrades. Some, however, must be
kept in Albania, where a rising
against the invaders has been organil-
ed 1t is declared that the Alban-
ians with $4,000 rifles, under the
command of Austrian officers, are
taking the field, and it is rumored
that they have fought battle at
Dibra, where the Servians lost heavily.
The Albanians are said to be greatly
irritated by the wholesale arrests of
those suspected of having interest in
the provisional government.
While the possible renewal of the
war may put a strain on the co-opera-
ton of the European powers, they
have thus far worked in harmony, and
the departuta of Prince Hohenlohe-
Waldenburg- chillingfuerst from vi
emma, with an autograph letter from
Emperor Francis Joseph to Emperor
Nicholas Of Austria, gives additional
hope that they will do so until the
end.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.--Possibly to-

dominated by the near approach OF the
hour when the. Constantinople authori-
ties will have to decide whether to
yield to the terms of the Balkan al

In Europe, the crisis (if such II is)

stock exchange showed weakness. the
Paris bourse was rather singll!arly
steady. There was, In fact, sense oi
something like unreality IN the SIT

by HERMAN wEckE.

Some have been uncoufh enough
to say that sorthpaws are no longer

leagues But there are four side
wheelers operating in the American
league who can hold their own with
any set OF hurlcrs In the country.
They s,e Ed Plank, Ray Collins. vean
Gregg and Ear. Hamilton.
Any big league manager who had
this quartet OF left-handers with one
good rjght-handsr would almost be
sure tc win the pennant II he had
any ksld of a team back OF them.
During the past season these lopr
made greet records. Only one oI
them hamilton who labored for the
taiLepd Browns-feii below the .oOv
mark
All IN all, this quartet won II and
lost only II gaLses last year. This -
an average OF 634 and accounts lot
|lI2 games There are only ioi
games in the season, and with these
four men taking care OF III games
II woG'd leave tie manager with oniy

could easily be done by one good

good DHt good enough to win half MS

Gettysburg southpaw has seen a doz-
len years OF service In the big leagues,
and each season II Is said that he -
Through. but he Ia one old-timer who
goes on forever and does not seem
to lose any Of his cunning.
J Last season his team, the Athletics,
|. LANDED good second, and he was one
of the reasons that the entry chaper-
oned by Connie Mack finished 50
high. Plank won 26 and lost only SIX
games, for percentage OF .Sls,
which Is very good for person who.
iit was claimed before the season
started, had come to the end OF his
string This good mark set by Plank
iput him next to Wood In the Ameri-
can league figures.
| At the start OF last season. Ray
Collins, OF the Red Sox, did very ht-
tie. Illness handicapped him, and he
wsa not able to do himself justice.
But towards the end OF the season he
CAME around and won good many
games for his team, winding up the
season with q notch of .636. winning
IA of his % games.
Vean Gregg and Earl Hamilton
last season worked for teams that
finished In the second division. At
that, these two young men are the
pick OF the left-handers In the Ban
Johnson organization.
Gregg broke into the big circle two
years ago, and I'm his first season
made a wonderful record. He did
not do quite as well in 1912, but
managed to land on the right side OF
90 OF his 33 games. He was one OF
the mainstays of the Maps on the mr.
Ing line, and IL he gets on to good
start next season can be counted up
on to win his share OF the games for
Joe Birmingham.
Next comes Earl Hamilton, the
star little southpaw OF the Browns.
Ham won IL and lost IA games last
season. but then the Browns finished
way down In seventh place. and Ham
had better percentage than his
team. The Browns finished with .S44.
while Hams percentage for the sea-
son was .440.
