ALL Dogs OFF
THE STREETS
ALDERMAN BELL FAVORS IT
Matter Referred to Ordinance
Committee

Every dog will be persona non grata
on the streets of Americas if the
sentiment expressed at the meeting
of city council last might by Alderman
Bell is put into active enforcement.
Alderman Bell expressed himself in
favor of keeping all dogs off the
streets of the city. He said that it
was an ordinance of the city that all
dogs should be kept off the streets.
The ordinance, he said, should be en-
forced.
After a brief discussion a motion
was made that the matter be referred
to the Ordinance committee, of which
Alderman Bell is chairman. AS Al
derman Bell expressed himself last
night in favor of keeping dogs off the
street, it is believed that active en-
forcement of the present ordinance
will be recommendd by tn committee.

.MEXICANS ARE
PREPARING TO
START TROUBLE.
LOOKS LIKE new REVOLUTION
Huefta Sends Troops to The
Scene

Eagle Pass, Texas, Feb. 26. - Tho
stage is completely set today on the
Mexican border opposite this section
of Texas for a new Mexican revol.,
that of Governor V. Carranza, of the
state of Caahuili. He has oflciall :
proclaimed the Huerta government
spurious.
The international bridge across tho
Rio Grande here to the Mexican town
of Piedras Negras, is today lined with
men, women and children refugees,
mostly Mexicans, sarrying pet ami
mails boxes and bright colored bum
dies, all fleeing to the American sids
for protection against possible figh2-
ing about Piedras Negras. The
streets of Eagle Pass are crowded
with Mexican refugees.
Col. Emilio Carranza with 200 vo:-
unteers favoring the revolt is pre-
pared to resist detachment of fed
erals supporting Huerta. said to be
south of Piedras Negras. Last nighr
Col Carranza captured 25 federals
several miles below the city. He sent
g. detachment of 40 men to Las Vas.
cas-, the Mexican town opposite Del
Rio, Texas. Col Carranza expec
this little band to occupy Las vascas
without rouble.
United States troops are preparing
to protect Americans on the border
if this latest revolt imperils them.
Captain Bigler is here in charge OF
squad of 80 federal cavalrymen AMI
full troop of United States cavalry
from Fort Clark is due here this az
ternoon. Captain Bigler says he ex-
poets no trouble in protecting Ame--
lean interests.
Governor Carranza is reported to
be in the vicinity of Monclovia, Mex
leo. He wired President Taft and
President-elect Wilson the following:
"The Mexican nation condemns the
villianous cope Dictate which has de-
prived her of her constitutional rulers,
who were cowardly assassinated, but
is aware that her institutions are.
alive, and is disposed to sustain
them. l am certain that both the
government of your excellency, as
well as that of your successor, viii
not accept the spurious government
which Huerta is attempting to estab-
lish upon crime and treason, but wiz
proceed with circumspection towards
the social and political interests OF
our counry."

Freeman, the eldest SON of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. D. Freeman of this county,

CITY PHYSICIAN
COMMENDS PLAN
TO "CLEAN up
GIVES HEARTY ENDORSEMENT
Support of Ladies will Make
Plan Success

Hearty endorsement was given yes
terday by City Physician Chambliss to
the plan to have a "cleaning-up" day
here. It will be recalled that the sug-
gestion was made in yesterdays issue
of The Times-Recorder, and endorse
ment was given at that time by City
Marshal Smith.
"A thorough cleaning up of the
city as the warm weather begins; "A
other words, good spring cleaning,
will do much to aid in the maintenance
of health conditions in the city," said
DR.. Chambliss. There was a thoroug
inspection of houses some time ago.
but what is needed now most in the
way of public sanitation is just what
has been suggested, cleaning up of
premises in all sections of the city.
"A cleaning up Of the city now will
have good results in stimulating in
terest in the cleaning of premis IS
throughout the entire summer. Hither-
to but little effort has been made to
clean up the city thoroughly until the
fall, when the hot weather makes 1t
necessary, Americus should adopt the
plan that is in vogue in other cities and
tegin the cleaning up of the city in
the spring. In that way the task is
made easier during the entire summer
season, while the consequent bette :
ment of health is manifest. If the la
dies Of the city will organize a club
and help the city authorities these
cleaning up days can be conducted
thoroughly and actively twice a yeac,
or at least once. They do a great deal
of good, if properly conducted"

FIRST MILITARY
COMPANY NOW
RECALLED BY
One OF OLDEST INHABITANTS
Was Organized to Fight the
Indians

The departure this week of the
Americus Light Infantry for Washing
ton to participate in the military fea-
lures of the Inauguration exercises
next Tuesday, when Woodrow Wilson
will become president, recalls to the
oldest inhabitant" the organization Il
of the first military company in Sum-
ter county. That was back in the
pioneer days of 1886, but the military
spirit das dominant even then among
the early settlers, and has so contin-
ued to this good day. Since 1886 Sum
ter has had military organization OF
some kind. Now it has one Of the best
in Georgia.
The company of 1886 was organic
ed by it's commander, Captain Isaac
McCrary, to go to war against the
Indians, who we're then giving trou-
BILE in what is now Stewart county
These Indians, the Creek and Choctaw
tribe, occupied this entire section, but
were gradually being driven westward
and were making their last stand.
There was no "Americus" then, the
only town in this county at the time
being Danville, on Flint river now a
wilderness. Americus was laid out as
village several years afterwards,
though the rich lands here were titled
by wealthy planters owning many
slaves.
Captain McCrary, who was the IA
ther of Mrs. ]. P. Chapman and Mrs.
L. H. Rodgers, who still reside here,
organized his company of seventy-fivc
rihemen and marched away through
the woods to Stewart county. 1t was
a great occasion in Sumter when the
first soldiers marched away to he
battlefields. The Sumter Guards dill
not do long service, however, as be-
fore they arrived at the Chattahoochce
river, General Jackson had driven tn }
Indians far to the westward

TWENTY new LIGHTS
FOR The CITY STREETS
Agreed Upon at Last Council
Meeting

AS the result of various requests
-&hat have been made by citizens in va
r;ous sections of the city, the city
council last night agreed to add fifteen
extra lights of small power to those
already in use to illuminate the
streets. Other requests for lights have
already come in, and the total will
soon reach about 20, according to
Alderman Mashburn, chairman of the
Light committee.
OF these fifteen lights the current
for eight will be supplied by the city's
private plant at the waterworks. This
will leave only Z to be paid for by
the city. This arrangement was made
with the Americus Power Company
which furnishes current for the street
lights.
All the lights that are to be used
on the streets will be 250-watt lights
while those in the rear of stores in
alleys will be only 100-watt lights.
This is in accordance with the policy
already adopted by the light commit
tee. According to the statement of q
member of the Light committee, the
committee puts in lights wherever It
is possible to do so.

TEXAS BORDER
IS PATROLLED
BY REGULARS
DEPARTMENT SURE TO ACT
In Event Of Any Emergency
Arising

Washington, D, c., Feb. 26.-Secre-
tary Stimson today assured Senators
Culberson and Sheppard that every
possible precaution would be taken TO
protect the Texas border against
raids by rebels from Mexico He in
formed Mr.. Culberson that one regi-
ment of infantry and a battery had
been removed from Ell Paso to join
the second division at Galveston, So
as to be at the closest possible point
to Vera Cruz, but assured him that
the troops would be replaced at Ell
Paso, and that a sufficient force
would be kept there to protect the
frontier in that immediate vicinity,
He promised an additional troop of
cavalry.
In a letter to Senator Sheppard,
Mr.. StimsOn said: "It is not intended
to withdraw any Of the cavalry on the
Texas border, but on the contrary,
every precaution will be taken to
maintain AN effectual guard there
OF course, it must be remembered
that the regular army Is extremely
small, and when it becomes necessary
as it is now, to mobilize a force of
10000 or $4,000 men for the purpose
of preparing an expedition to go out
of the country, it leaves very few
troops within the United States avail
able for patrol duty. One has to cut
his suit according to the amount of
cloth he has, and that is the only linn
itation upon our efforts to protect
your border"
CondltlOnS IN norLn and central
sections of Mexico are reported today
not so satisfactory A report from
Saltillo indicates that the governot
of Coahuila has gone to resist federal
troops approaching from Monterey.
Reports from Monterey say that
the situation is less encouraging in
northern states, and the rebels are
active in Sonora, Coahuila and San
Luis Potosi.

CHOOSING A
MANAGER IS
OF INTEREST
FOR EARLY CONSIDERATION
Several Promising Men On
The String

Now that it is pretty definitely de-
cided that the Empire League is
to be established, the management Of
the local club will go out after man
ager. The management here is not III
the least disturbed by the reports from
other cities to the effect that they
have chosen managers. There are
plenty of good managers left, and
Americus is to have a rattling good
one to pilot the local team through its
first season.
There have been numerous appIl.
cants for the position here. Any num-
Der of letters have been received from
those who are ambitious to lead the
Muckalee braves on the warpath
throughout the first skirmishing sea-
son. The local management, however.
has chosen to bide their own time and
go out after a man whom they know
can deliver the goods in, managerial
capacity Within short time now a
contract may be signed for manager.
Several names have been under con
sideration of the local moguls for some
time, but no mention has been given
out for publication. AS soon as a de-
cision is reached, the name of the
lucky one VII be announced. In the
meantime the most careful attention
will be given to the matter, and it will
be the effort of the local management
to get the very best manager ayaila-
BILE.

LAST CHANCE
TO PAY TAX
TO REGISTRARS
TODAY TIE DAY NAMED
A Busy Day For The Board
Of Registrars

Today will be the last day named
by the registrars at which any one
may appear before them for the pur-
pose of paying taxes due for the year.
There will doubtless be a number %
appear on the last-day schedule.
The board of registrars has had a
busy time since the registration lists
were turned over to them some time
ago. They have been at work on the
lists, which are being revised from the
last published lists. Addition of
names, as well as erasure of certain
names, will make the old lists serve,
thereby saving the county a consid
cradle sum for the publication of new
lists. E1g
The expense incident to the holding
of the election may be borne by the
county. This sum will Approximate
about $3.50. Dividing this equally
among the three candidates, the sum
of fifty dollars as an assessment for
each would be heavy AS a bond elec-
ton for the county is to be held stimuli
taneously with the other, it is very
likely that the entire expense ac-
count will be borne by the county

MARCH 81 WAS
SELECTED FOR
BOND ELECTION
TO VOTE ON SCHOOL BONDS
Final Action on Ordinance
By Council

March 81 was named last night az
the meeting of city council as the day
for the holding of the election to de
eide whether the city shall issue $45,-
900 of bonds for the purpose of i'm
proving the public schools.
The action taken by council was in
the nature of the second reading and
passage of the bond ordinance drafted
for that purpose some time ago. This
ordinance was put upon passage and
was adopted without dissenting vote
The first consideration of the ordi-
nance was held at the meeting of
council prior to the one held last
night. At that time the matter of the
bond issue was discussed very fully,
ana IL was decided tnat the ordinance
should be allowed to take it's regular
course by being read for the first
time and then left for a final reading
and action at the subsequent meeting,
which was last might.
AS has already been said, the issue
of bonds proposed is for the sum OF
$45,00O. Of this amount varying sums
are to be used for the purpose of re-
facilitating the public schools of the
city, both white and colored, with the
exception of the High School.
