MATINEE TO
Be GIVEN BY
The PLAYERS
ALSO NIGHT PERFORMANCE
Great Success Predicted for
Next Play

An innovation will be introduced in
the production here of the next play
by the Americus Dramatic association
in that a matinee will be given as
well as the night performance.
This has been decided upon by the
management, as announced yesterday.
It is believed that the two perform
ances can be given by the young play
ers with almost as little trouble as
one, while much larger crowds can
be accommodated by having the after
noon performance also.
The afternoon performance will he
complete in every detail, with cos
tunes and all accessories. 1t wi.
therefore, enable a number to come
out who could do so as easily other
wise. The progress of the rehearsals
has been SO marked that the next play,
Mice and Mem, will be given with a
standard of excellence. and skill on
the part of the young players that
should prove second to none shown by
them in their work here,

LIVE MERCHANTS and

Shoppers

The large number of out-of-town
shoppers who visit Americus every
day, the greater number of whom
come by automobile, attests the ap-
preciation of good roads, such as Sum-
ter and many of the neighboring coun-
ties now have Good roads are trade

can make the trip here so easily in s

WILSON READ
MESSAGE BEFORE
joint session
REVERTS TO FORMER CUSTOM
House and Senate Listened
Attentively

Washington, D. c., April S.-Presi-
dent Wilson stood on the speaker s
rostrum in the hall of the house to-
day and personally read his first mes
sage to congress, the first president
since John Adams to exercise that
privilege.
The renewal of custom abandoned
a century ago and now surrounded by
such wide differences of opinion
among members of congress, attract
ed to the capital large assemblage.
Galleries were packed with nationa
figures. Mrs. Wilson and her three
daughters and the women of the cao-
met circle prominent among them.
The diplomatic gallery probably con-
tanned a representative of every ne
ton with an envoy in the foreign
corps here
The president was cheered as he
mounted the rostrum and shook
hands with Speaker CLARK. He began
to speak Immediately. There was in
tense silence in the great room the
president talking in an ordinary tone
as he explained his coming in per-
son to deliver his message.
After the house had been called to
order Speaker Clark announced that
the president would be received by a
committee of three. He appointed Re-
presentatives Underwood, Palmer and
Mann.
The chair would admonish the
members" said Speaker Clark, that
unless otherwise indicated by the
president, to keep their seats during
the delivery of his message and un-
til he has departed. If the president
should desire to shake hands with
you before he goes, l suggest you
pass by him at the right of the ros-
trum and then into the lobby to avoid
congestion
The hour for the joint session was
set for 1890 o'clock and about that
time the senate moved over to the
house chamber and occupied the front
rows of seats. About the same time
the cabinet meeting at the White
House adjourned, and the president
got ready to go to the capitol.
At 1880 o'clock the vice president

The Central's northbound local train,
Montgomery to Americus, due here at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, arrived

hours late. The delay was caused BY

LUMBER PLANT
WAS SOLD At
COBB TUESDAY
BANKRUPTCY Proceedings
Secured Creditors Gave uD
$4,000 For it

The property and effects of the
James Manufacturing Company, a cor
poration heretofore doing business at
Cobb, near Americas, was sold Tues
day at pubic outcry upon the premises
by Mr.. w. T. Lane, one of the three
trustees named in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings, and was bid in for certain
secured creditors of the corporation
by Attorney o. A. Park, of Macon. Mr..
Parks bid of $4,000 was the only
offer made for the property, whicn
had previously been appraised at S36,
900, and while seemingly very low
Trustee Lane was compelled, under
the circumstances, to accept it.
The property disposed of consisted
ir part of a fine sawmill plant and
equipment at Cobb Station on the Sea-
board railway, together with two
miles of steel rails and tramway; one
locomotive and trucks, log carts, thir-
ty mules and other minor property J,
besides three to four million feet( es-
timated) standing timber. The mill
plant was located originally in the
finest timber belt in Sumter county, a
great deal of which still stands, and
vas included in the assets sold yester-
day.
The property was first cried off in
lots and then sold as a whole upon
the bid of Mr.. Park, representing the
secured creditors, all of them citizens
of Macon. 1t not improbable that
the unsecured creditors may oppose
the confirmation of the sale by the
referees, Messrs. Alexander Proudfit,
tf Macon, and Hollis Fort, of Ameri-
Gus. The James Manufacturing Com
pany had been in business at Cobb for
the past four years. The property
sold is valuable one, and surprise
was expressed that only one bid was

Washington, D. c., April 8-Presi~
dent Wilson has sought to avert
diplomatic tangle with Japan over the
bill pending in the California legis-
lature through which Japanese would
lie pre-, ented from owning property in
that state. The Japanese governm mt
has flied formal protest with the state
department against what it consi2-

Secretary Lane, of the Interior depart

later with Senator Works and Rep
resentative William Kent, of that state
None would discuss the presidents
attitude, but it is believed he took oc-
casion informally to communicate his
views to the California Legislators.
The president is reported as believ-
ing that If anti-alien legislation is
necessary, it should be made to apply
to all aliens without discrimination.
Such a bill, while it might eliminate
the cause for Japanese protest, would

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 3, 1913.

Mexico is trying to borrow money from Europe to pay her soldiers. At least that Is the reason given by the Mexican chief executive and his min ister of finance. And Europe will not loosen up one cents worth without a guarantee from the United States that the interest on the bonds that Mexico wants to issue as security for loan will be met and that the bonds them selves will eventually be paid.
 The bankers of Europe are quits right in refusing to lend the money to Mexico and the United States is quite right in refusing to be drawn into the matter at all. It has already put this country to considerable trouble and expense in times past to make the foolish little countries of the western hemisphere realize the sacredncss of n financial obligation. Until very recent ly American and foreign bankers have heen quick to accept the bonds of ir- responsible governments in Central and South America. Any temporarily sue cessful "liberator" could grab the reins of government for few months. issue a lot of bonds, collect a few million and skip to Paris leaving the country no better of financially for the transac- ton.
 Tn fact the country was left just that much more in deht and as the country had not benefited by the bond issue in any way 1t usually rcpudiatcd 1t as soon as the presidential bunco steerer made his getaway. From the standpoint of the country affected one can hardly blame 1t for not wanting to assume tho responsibility for debts contracted by Q man who had exploit cd 1t for his own personal benefit. But there is always d eaeper obligation than merely the ethical one from the stand- point of the footed country.
 The money lent 1t by the bankers was. of course. lent with tho expecta- ton of ultimate large returns. for the rate of interst is always high fin such cases owing to the risk. But hereto fore the bankers have known very well that the actual risk wus small for they have been in the habit of turning the collection of their money over to the United States and tho United states. because 1t is sponser for the foolish llstle countries has usually collected and had not charged up tho expenses of collecting.
 It has been very profitable deal for two parties. the bankers who lent the money and the dictator who got away to Paris with most of it. The only one to suffer by the arrangement has been good old collector Uncle Sam. That dear old man has aiawsy to nay the freight.
The Nome daily nugget., 1913-11-03

Now Mexico for the tenth or severn teenth time. is tryine the ola game of selling bonds in Europe. But Uncle Samuel has learned q lesson. He sent word around to the money lenders and government bond pawn shops that he was through redeeming the pledges put up by his wayward children. He also intiIntaed that he didn't intend to let any foreign bill collectors meas into the matter.
 The result is that when Mir. Husrta of Mexico quits the job and pulls out for Furis he will have to be content with the few millions he has been able to loot from the national treasury. the little that Diax and Madero left. and the Mexican people will have several millions less in interest to meet. Re- fusing to guarantee the Mexicans bonds is the best move the United States has yet made. It is the bitter est blow yet dealt to Huerta for it hits him where the Mexican patriotism is the strongest-in the pocket book.

There isn't anything to distract any body's attention from the pursuit of business and pleasure and study. lf the three things can be combined in proper proportion the winter should pass in 0 very happy and profitable manner.
 Business, of course, must be carried on. But there will not be the exactions connected with it that have obtained heretofore The business man will have more time to devote to his family and his pleasures. Don't forget those two things. The family is dependent on it's head for good deal more than mere support. It needs understanding care and sympathy and 1t needs con genial entertainment. Any man can get out and hustle to support family. The material needs can be met by any man who has his health and can do days work. But there is a good deal more in life than the material. Human nature demands a certain amount of the material but real human happiness is atfer all not in the material but in the intellectual and spiritual. This is especially true of the female of the species. Few men realize how little the material appeals to the average feminine heeart. Of cours 1t is good to ne warm and comfortable and able to do everything that Mrs. Nextdoor does. but nine women out of ten will thrive and be happy on less of the material things if they have the spirit ual things that really count in wo- mans life. 4 woman is naturally more intellectual than a man. up to cer- tain point. See. then. that while the material wants are met that the intel lectual wants are not starved.
 Don't spend the long winter eve. nings asleep over the fire or telling your business troubles to your wife. Dig up something of interest to talk about or read about. World happen ings. history. good fiction. anything that is broadening to the mind and that opens up a vista not bounded by three meals q day. Get ahold of topics for conversation and discussion that are not circumscribed by the narrow I mil ltstchfoinoocclETAONINUPPJ limits of the local community. If we can't find anything to talk about big ger and broader than just our little world here we are going to get mighty tired of the subject before spring. The chances are we will begin to talk about ea oh other and that is the worst habit in tho world.
 Let us try to keep in touch with bigger things and leave out the crit icism of our neighbors. It will make everyone 30 much happier. And if We can find some subject to take up for a course of reading 1t will make every one so much. broader. Don't stand still and hibernate intellectually all winter.

Goose and Turkey Rivals.

The goose may soon replace the class
sic bird which now forms the apex of
most Thanksgiving feasts If the adj
vice of some food experts is followed.
According to them, the turkey is Inn
mature before Christmas. being put
through a system Of forcing to get to
the proper weight and fairness. While
its flesh is all right as far as health
goes, its flavor is not at its best until
Christmas. when 1t really becomes the
king of fowls. On the other hand. the
flesh of the goose has reached its per-
fiction at Thanksgiving time.

THE HORN OF PLENTY AS A
SYMBOL OF THANKSGIVING.

The c~ornucopia, or horn Of fruitful
ness and abundance, always used by
the Greeks and Romans as the symbol
of plenty, is an apt expression of the
sentiment that prevails OF Thanksgiv-
ing day. Filled with fruits and flow
ers. 1t makes one of the most charming
of centerpieces for the Thanksgiving
dinner table. The contents should be
arranged so that the cornucopia Is over
flowing, the fruits and flowers running
u of the horn and over the table.
A cornucopia may be made of wire
covered with silk, or again with linen.
or it might be made of cardboard OH
which vines. or autumn leaves are
sewed. The leaves of the galax, which
do not fade. could be used. although
one should prefer the beautiful black
berry vine. which at this season Is al
ways at It's best In color. The leaves
of the vine should be made to run up
toward the mouth of the horn and
trail about its edges, suggesting a horn
being wound about with them. Flow
ers, too, should fall about the brim SO
that fidelity to the original idea might
be preserved.

Be Thankful Anyway.

The real. original and genuine
Thanksgiving dinner must boast a tur-
key and cranberry auc If 1t is to be
strictly orthodox In regard to the
menu. Next to that in Importance is
the mince or pumpkin pie.
Yet If one of these things is forth
coming 1t is well to be thankful any
way. In the words Of that rare old
Pennsylvania philosopher, Benjamin
Franklin:
ave will thank God that we have
bread and butter to eat, and If we
have no butter we will thank God
for the bread.s
