A. II. READY
FOR SERVICE IF
WILSON CALLS
LOCAL CRACK COMPANY CAN RE.
CRUTT TO WAR STRENGTH
WITHIN TWELVE HOURS. EQUIP.
MENT MODERN IN SMALLEST
DETAIL.

The Americus Light Infantry can re-
port for active service within twelve
hours after the president issues a call
for troops, according to an officer of
that company. While the Americus
soldier boys are not especially anxious
to invade Germany and face the
sauer kraut gang still they will answer
the call if their president sees fit to
issue it.
The Americus Light Infantry is one
of the best companies in the second
Gorgia regiment. Many of the men in
the company have been members for
several years. Their drilling is per-
feet, according to army officers who
have inspected the A. L. I. Their eqip-
ment is modern to the smallest detail
and they are ready to take the field at
moments notice.
Recently many members of this
crack company qualified as expert RI
fie shots. For two weeks every mem
Der was instructed each day in the
gentle art of hitting the bull's-eye by
an expert marksman from Uncle Sans
regular troops. Practically the en-
tire company showed remarkable skill
and ability.
While Americus is not desirous of
seeing these soldier boys march off
for the concentration camp, still the
city feels sure that no better company
in the state would answer the presi-
dents call in time of a crisis. The A.
L. I. is a rafting good company, made
of fine, clean young fellows and Amer
icus is proud of them.

CANDIDATE
Decides to Make Race After Receiving
Hundreds of Letters Promising Him
Hearty Support, From All Portions
of the State.

Tho Hon. ]. E. Sheppard, of Amer
icus, who is running a strong race for
the speakership of the Georgia house
of representatives, is the candidate
of the people and not of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, is forcefully stated in a
statement given out by the league to-
day, endorsing Mr. Sheppard's views
While the league as an organiza.
ton heartily endorses the candidacy
OF Mr. Sheppard" says the statement,
1T is not true that he is the candidats
OF this league or of any other organ
lzation or person, except in the sense
that he is the candidate of many thou
sands of the states citizens and OF
scores of the representatives in the
house, who have personally solicited
him to enter the race.
1t is well known that long before
his announcement, Mr.. Sheppard re-
ceived hundreds Of letters, kilograms
and messages II other forms. from
persons of all waIAs of life, asking I'm
to become candidate, not of the pro-
hibitionists, but in the interest of the
people, in the interest of law enforce
ment and fair dealing. Those who
have asked to be permitted to vote for
him or who have pledged him their
support, know that if elected. he
would be the servant of the whole
people and not of any one interest.
The fact that the name of DR.. G. W.
Eichelberger, superintendent of the
league, happened to be connected with
the announcement of Mr.. Sheppards
candidacy in Atlanta grew out of the
fact that it happened to be Mr.. Eich-
elberger who gave the first news OF
the candidacy to the Atlanta press.
Neither DR.. Eichelberger nor the
league is any more strongly endorsing
MIR. Sheppard than are thousands OF
others who believe in fair dealing and
events of the past two
years.
The superintendent OF the league is
acting for and upon the advice of sew
enty-six men constituting the board
Of the league. These men represent
the views of great majority of the
people of Georgia on the subjects OF
prohibition and law enforcement DR..
