MILITARY DID NOT GO
To ANDERSONVILLE
Though Held in Readiness
All DAY

To the disappointment of the troops
the Americus Light Infantry did not
go to Andersonville yesterday after
all, though they were kept in the az
mory here throughout the day in order
to respond to any hurry call summon
ing them. The call did not come, how
ever, and for the first time in many
years Andersonville had no troops 0n
Decoration Day.
Captain Fort had telegraphic orders
to hold his company in readiness
should the authorities at Anderson
Vile call for them. Such call could
only be made to Gov Brown, who III
turn, would have ordered the troops
to Andersonville.
In uniform and ready to respond
quickly, thirty men remained on duty
here during the day. Automobiles
were in readiness to respond to a
hurry CALL and the company could
have been transported to Anderson
vile within thirty minutes. There was
general regret among the soldier boys
that the trip was denied them.
Despite the lack of excursion trains
for their transportation, large crowds
of negroes assembled in the little
town throughout the day A special
train from Fitzgerald brought up 3%S
citizens and ladies of that town, un-
der whose auspices the exercises at
the national cemetery were held.

POOR COTTON MAY CAUSE
A Big CROP OF PEAS
Peas May be Planted Over
Cotton

Continued dry weather and the fail
IRE of re-planted cotton to come up
may result in bumper pea crop IN
Sumter county this year 1t is true
that in many cotton fields the re-plant-
ed seed are still in the ground, and
may, or may not, come up. In the event
that they do not come up shortly, sew.
eral farmers have declared their inten-
ton of re-planting the land in peas.
1t is getting late for cotton planting
and, besides, cotton seed are very
scarce at this late date. Peas are a
good money crop, always, the farmers
say, and at $3.50 to per bushel, the
current price, according to quantity
and variety, such crop would help
out we'll in the place of cotton. Peas
would require less work than would
cotton. and such a crop would be bene-
fetal to the land, besides.

antee to continue in the league.
Il. j. KALMON, Vice Pres't.
III. Z. ALLEN, Sec'y."

This puts the matter of league base
ball squarely up to the fans here. Ii
will be seen that the notice desig-
mates June /, which is today, as the
limit of the time during which the
nenchise will be held subject to reten-
ton here. The statement is very plain.
Unless the fans decide to come to the
rescue today, the franchise will be dis
posed of to the Dothan Baseball asso-
cIation which has been eager for mem>
ocrsfip in the Empire State league
srre the league was established
1t is very likely under these cir
cumstances that today will witness the
last game of league baseball in Ameri-
Gus this season. The only thing that
can save the franchise will be such =
response on the part of the fans today
that the local directors will feel just,-
fed in continuing the uphill struggle
they have had in making ends meet
s:rce the league opened one month
ago. There is certainly no time for
delay, if the fans wish to keep league
baseball in Americus, as today will tell
the tale.
Fans here are hoping against hope
that things will turn up lucky card
in the baseball deck today, but there
seems little hope of anything being
done to relieve the situation unless it
is, done right away. Only the united
and enthusiastic efforts of the fans
here can save the situation for league
baseball. The locals have had los
ing fight all the way so far, but even
that must end unless the fans come
to the rescue at once.

Paid in by June |, They Throw Up Sponge

League baseball is hanging in t2e
la.aLce here, and by a very slender
thread Today will probably serve to
tell the story one way or the other
An I.lin.atum was issued to the fats
. yesterday which makes the crisis ir
5aSeb?ll affairs here definite, as there
is a demand elsewhere for the fran>
chise unless the fans here want IL
foot the bills longer.
Yesterday a telegram was received
from the Dothan Baseball association,
asking at what price the local fran,
chise may be secured. This telegram
was addressed to the Americus Base
ball club, and it is as follows:
What viii you take for your
franchise in the Empire league?
"DOTHAN BASEBALL ASSO."
After the receipt of this telegram,
which was a definite statement con-
corning matters which had been in
vestigated more or less carefully by
certain Dothan fans, the directors OF
the local club at once gave it care
full consideration The result of this
consideration is that the directors Gf
the club here will not endeavor to re-
tain the franchise unless those who
have subscribed come forward with the
cash by June 1. A written statement
relative to the telegram was given out
by the local management yesterday
afternoon, and this statement, ad-
dressed to the fans here, is as fol-
lows:

press of her strong individuality an,
the geniality of her bright nature wa:
left indelibly.
Mrs. Morgan was the eldest daugh.
ter of Mrs. Laura Dews Clarke and the
late Judge Wellborn F. Clarke, and
was just thirty-one years of age. She
is survived by her mother and sister
Mrs Edward Kiker, of Cordele; her

of Trade handed the following card
to The Times-Recorder, with a request
that it be published and with the com.
ment that it was just as applicable to
Americus as to Athens.
Mr. Editor; | read in yesterday )
Banner of the coming and going OF
one Mr. Moore, a representative q
the Mutual Life Insurance Co., or
New York. 1t stated that Mr.. Moore
had taken notes from parties for in
surance for which the policies were
never delivered. In the first place.
these transactions looked shady to
begin with; in the second place, the
parties giving the notes, of course,
lldhC Il IliSldhG anu 6uOulu nave UGtl
more cautious. A case of this kind
reminds one of one party transferring
to another a deed to a piece of prop
erty without first securing payment
in full.
These transactions, of course, were
matters of business between M
Moore, the insurance agent, and the
parties contracting for insurance and
giving notes without first securing the
policy properly made out and signed
by the company. This was a matter
concerning Mr.. Moore and the parties
Exchanging notes for smooth talk; ii
is no affair of mine, and | perhap3
have no right to criticise others for
their actions in transactions of this
kind. But being a citizen of Athens
| naturally feel in way that it q
some of my business, at least, to e :
press my opinion.
First, | want to say that my experi-
ence and knowledge of Athens and
Athens people is that in some in
stances we are little slow and in
different in the way we welcome new
comers, but as rule Athens is the
most hospitable and charitable CITY
in the country. Its citizens, especial
ly the good women, never fail to re,
spond to unworthy causes and Often
times unworthy ones, but, as my
sanity mother-in-law, Mrs. Susan Dor
sey, (who was never known to shi:k
duty, or failed to lead helping hand
to the poor and needy,) was often
heard to say: at is better to help a
half dozen unworthy than to turn one
away who was worthy and needy"
Now, coming to the real point;
want to state that Athens people are
often duped while acting under the
impression that they are doing their
duty toward others. More often they
are duped when they imagine they
are helping themselves. For instance
in the Moore insurance case. NJ
Moore came to Athens a stranger; ha
was a man of good address and a
plausible talker There is no doubt
about the company he represented be-
ing all right, but no better, no safer
and no cheaper than other life insur-
ance companies with no better in
ducements to offer, than other com
panies, that are represented right
here in Athens, by reliable citizens
of Athens.
We live in the Classic City" we
are an average intelligent class OF
people; our charitable actions prove
that we are not a narrow-minded
selfish set Of folks. But why is Z

RECALL LAW is READY FOR
OPERATIONS, SAYS CRAWFORD

In an opinion today Attorney. General
Crawford stated that the recall law re-
lating to state and county officers is
valid and in effect A question had
been raised because the legislature had
failed to pass an amendment providing
that the person against whom the recall
was directed should be reimbursed for
his campaign expenses. Circuit court
decisions in the first and fourth judi
cial district, which sustain the law, are
cited by the attorney.general.
