DRAINAGE COMMITTEE MEETS

The Drainage Committees from Jen.
nings, Lake Arthur and Welsh met
here yesterday for the purpose of 60.
ing over the drainage situation and
getting the drainage movement under
proper Roadway. There were several
members of the committee from each
of the towns present and general
survey Of the situation was taken.
These committees are the result of
citizens meetings in these towns some
time ago. They were appointed to take
up the work and get the proper data
and get the work in proper shape.
The committee yesterday made ar
rangements with Mr.. Shultz to pre-
pare a survey of the territory from
which proposed district may be es-
tablished
There seems to be general senti.
ment among the committee that the
district should be more comprehensive
than was at first proposed, They say
that for drainage to be of real and per
manent benefit the work must begin al
the outlet on the southern boundary
and should include practically all the
parish in one district. They say thai
by following this course the movement
will meet with less opposition and a
! the same time be of most benefit.
| The Committee adjourned to meet a
some date again in the near future t
get the matter in proper shape to pre-
sent to the Police Jury as soon a
possible.

BOARD OF TRADE WILL
Lend AID TO TEAM
President Clark and Commit,
tee Raise Funds

Times-Recprder: On account OF
the critical situation of the status OF
our ball team, the Board of Trade has
made an investigation and has found
it absolutely necessary to lend assist
ance in order to maintain our fran
chise. We have made an active cam
vass for funds, as many who had sub
scribed had as yet not paid in. The
team was ragnized on the strength of
these subscriptions, and they are le-
sally, as we'll as morally, binding, and
| am pleased to say we find many are
paying. Yet number will not paw
therefore it is necessary to raise other
funds as we'll.
While we have had fair success with
Jour canvass, l will say We are yet
short about $500, which must be
raised Monday. With this additional
amount secured, Americus will be in
the game when the curtain is rung
down August 18th. l know the citizens
of Americus have too much interest in
the reputation of our city not to rally
to the emergency of the occasion.
Americus must not fall out of the
game. We have good team, and will
have better one soon. Strengthening
our pitching staff right away.
Let everybody boost the team; let
the public patronize more literally,
Boost but never knock. Give the
knockers a free pass to Knockersville
never to return.
Hon. Thos. G. Hudson lent able as
sistance in securing funds for the team
yesterday.
Further announcement will be made
Tuesday or Wednesday as to final re-
suits. Fall in and pay a few dollars
thus insuring a good financial standing
for our club. G. j. CLARK,
President Board of Trade.

HEAT RECORD FOR YEAR
WAS BROKEN YESTERDAY
Mercury Went Above the Century Mark, While Amer

the 1OOMark Has Been Reached Here Recently.

Yesterday the mercury fairly sizzled
in the thermometer here, a record )f
1O3 being reached when the maximum
temperature for the day was recorded
yesterday afternoon. This breaks tn :
record for the year here, as the mer-
curry has not been above the century
mark in the official thermometer b.
fore this season.
Weather Observer Joe Bryant was
amazed yesterday afternoon when ho
glanced at the official thermometer to
see that the mercury was standing
three degrees above the century mark.

coat and his hat and began to fan

ternoon, as the mercury stayed up in
the tube a good part of the day.
Friday the mercury went above the
century mark, too, just little bit
above. but yesterdays record was
scorcher Coming as it does this early
in the summer, it sets record here
for temperature this high during
May. 1t is not unlikely that another
unusually hot day is on tap for today,
as the weather forecast predicts gen.
orally fair weather in this part of the
state. A little shower or two to cool
off things would come in very nicely
now, but the indications for them are
very slight, indeed. In the meantime
the Empire State league is fiourishing
on the dry-weather schedule, as that
league seems to like the dry weather
better than any other.
