COMMISSIONERS
Of WEEK
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, June 5.-The Frank
case ruling by the prison commission
of Georgia will be handed down next
week. 1t will probably come between
Monday and Wednesday and there is
possibility that it will come Monday
afternoon.
The three members of the commits.
sion left Atlanta yesterday afternoon
to spend the week end at their re-
spective homes in various parts of the
state. Each is carrying the case home
with him to consider alone over Sat
urday and Sunday When they re-
turn Monday morning they will go into
conference, and if they find that they
have agreed on aruling no other de-
tail will remain but the formulating
of it and sending it to Governor Sla-
| ton.
Indeed the members of the board
have limited that they hope to be able
to return Monday with their minds
made up one way or the other.
If the action of the commission is a
denial of the appeal it is likely there
will be no explanation, but if the
commission decides to recommend
mercy, the reasons for the action will
be set forth in detail and the situa-
tion as they see it will be carefully
analyzed. This will be in accordance
with the time-honored custom and
precedent of the board, which will not
be departed from in any way in the
Frank case.

SUM TER'S FIRST
COTTON BLOOM
APPEARS FRIDAY
FIRST HARBTNGER OF PROSPER
ITY SHOWN HERE.

Americus cotton factors looked yes
terday upon the first cotton bloom of
the season, and al declared it more
beautiful than the rarest exotic that
comes from any conservatory. This
is also the first bloom produced in
any south Georgia county to this date,
and is ahead of the first bloom of the
1914 crop. The blossom sent in yes
terday was from the farm of Anthony
Glaze, a worthy and prosperous col
ored farmer, who had the distinction
of sending in the first cotton blossom
last year. The cotton crop CT Sumter
at this time is in fairly good condi-
ton, all things considered. Many
fields are very grassy, while the plant
generally is small for lack of the u.s.
ual amount of fertilizers used. The
acreage in Sumter and adjoining coun-
ties is smaller by 20 percent than the
acreage last season, while very little
fertilizer has been used this season.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 5.-Handbills
announcing a meeting tonight on the
grounds of the state capitol "in de-
fense of trial by jury" were distrib-
uted on the streets of Atlanta today.
Solicitor Hugh Dorsey was approached
by several parties today and asked to

He wrote particularly of the Franco

Signor Antonio Salandra, premier

birth. He was trained for the law
and has spent thirty years as an

lister of finance. He was called to the
premiership in March, 1914, on the
resignation of the Giolitti cabinet.
Salandra is great orator and a

to the premiership he was confronted
with many trying internal problems.
He manoeuvred SO cleverly as to
suppress the rising of socialists, and
at the same time gain their support.
He settled the big railroad strike.
Baron Sidney Sonnino, the foreign
secretary, was once premier and Sal

COURT SESSION
HAS COMPLETED
CRIMINAL CASES

The shortest, as well as one of the
busiest, sessions of Sumter superior
court in years is practically at an end,
although Judge 2. A. Littlejohn has
not as yet announced final adjourn
ment. A session of only two weeks in
Sumter is most unusual but with such
celebrity was BUSINESS dispatched this
time that all cases for the term, prac-
tically have already been disposed of.
The first week ended the civil docket
while five days this week, devoted to
criminal cases, has wellnigh cleared
that very heavy docket as well, both
felony and misdemeanors.
Probably twenty-five convictions
followed the busy session this week,
and dozen or fifteen new faces now
ornament the chaingang, others CON
victed paying the fines imposed. The
last case tried yesterday, that against
Luke Perry, charged with having aid
ed Ivey Kaylor, a convict to escape
the chaingang, resulted last night in a
mistrial and the trial jury was dis
charged.
Chambers business will be taken up
on Monday morning.

Americus-Special program of Fea-
lures Prepared by Committee.

Americus is preparing to celebrate
the selection of the Andersonville-
Thomasville Route, as part of the
Dixie Highway in grand style. The
entire city has caught the fever and
is enthusiastic over the big jubilee
proposed for July Fifth.
Letters from cities along the High
way from Dalton to Thomasville prom
Use big crowds of visitors on that day.
The railroads have promised their CO.
operation and low rates for the cele-
bration.
The program committee has not yet
announced just what they will have
On tap for the celebration, but promise
a program we'll in keeping with the
occasion. Their plans are not yet
perfected, but it is known that big
automobile parade, prominent public
. speakers, and the big masked fancy
dress ball on the street, will help the
visitors enjoy their stay in Americus.
Americus merchants are enthusias-
tic over the prospects. Conservatively
estimated, Americus will have 5000
visitors here on the Fifth of July. This
looks good to the merchants of the
city. and they have pledged their fin
ancial support to the Chamber of
Commerce.
Secretary Hyman, live wire Of the
Chamber of Commerce and President
Carr S. Glover of that organization are
working hard to make the celebration
a success. Discussing the plans for
the celebration, President Glover said
this morning:
THE Committee headed by Chair
man Frank Lanier canvassed for two
hours yesterday and met with great
enthusiasm and in nearly every place
of business visited the committee was
received with the most courteous
treatment and the opinion expressed
nv all. was that we should have this
celebration on big scale.
1T is time that we let the people of
the country know that we are grateful
for the naming of the Dixie Highway
from Macon to Tallahassee, and this
demonstration will put Americus in
the limelight of the entire country
Five thousand visitors brought here
on July 5th will wake the city up and
enthuse our people that we can do
anything that we undertake.
"AlI must help in this matter, and
every citizen who has not contributed
to the expenses of putting on this cell
ehration should call up the Chamber
of Commerce. Remember that small
donation goes a great ways towards
helping the committee to meet the
necessary expenses that a big cele-
tration of this kind will cost.

LONDON, June 5.-German airshipe
crossed the North Sea last night, sue
ceeding in dropping numerous bombs
on the east and southeast coasts OF
England The damage done has not
yet been accurately ascertained, and
military authorities in control of the
situation are keeping a tight grip on
correspondents upon the scene of the
attack, permitting only the yaguests
reference to the raid to get through.
The censor has so far declined to
permit references to deaths resulting
from the raid, what is believed to be
authentic information is to the effect
that casualties were not numerous.
The property damage inflicted accord
ing to this source of information, was
comparatively slight. Excitement
aroused by the midnight raid was in
tense, and in more than one village
panic seized the inhabitants before
the hostile aircraft departed.
Submarines Again Active.
Today's Admiralty statement indi-
Gates renewed activities by German
submarines, which now include the
entire Irish Sea and the ST. Georges
channel within their zone of opera
tions. During the past twenty-four
hours, says the official statement, five
British vessels met these undersea
craft and were torpedoed. No loss of
life resulted, all the crews being per-
mitted to enter lifeboats before their
vessels weren't sent to the bottom. A
majority of the vessels torpedoed were
small twarlers, employed in searching
the North Sea for floating mines, and
in fishing.
To Renew Offensive i'm West.
Preparations for new German as
sault along practically the whole of
the western froat are under way, it is
believed by British observers in north
ern France and Belgium. 1t is now an
ticipated the Germans will undertake
serious offensive operations in the
west and that the campaign against
Lemberg is to abandoned, Przemysl
being considered the key to the Cali
clan situation.
Along goodly portion of the battle
line north of Arras, German reinforce
ments, brought up during the night
succeeded in driving the Allies from
positions recently gained in that Vi
cinity, and at noon were successfully
occupying the former Teuton posi-
tions. Heavy losses resulted during
the encounter at Arras.
