LARGE CROWD
FOR HIGHWAY
CELEBRATION

Many visitors have come to the
Chamber of Commerce and talked over
the Dixie Highway celebration, and
have brought the information that
there are hundreds of people coming
from all over south Georgia.
Said one visitor from Valdosta yes
terday: ut is the best and most
widely advertised event that I have
even seen in southwest Georgia. You
would be surprised to know that peo-
pie from all along the road from VAL
odsta to Cordele are preparing to
make Americas a visit"
A long distance phone message
brought the news that the train from
Cuthbert, Fort Gaines, Shellman, Daw-
SON and Bronwood would be taxed to
bring the passengers that are coming.
This is not counting the hundreds of
automobiles that will bring visitors
here.
Preparations will be made for the
greatest crowd of people that have
ever visited this city. Every boarding
house that can feed the visitors at din
ner should at once get in touch with
the Chamber of Commerce so that
their places can be registered and
printed in the list of available places
where the visitors can get their
meals.
This is also golden opportunity
for the different societies of the lodges
and churches and other benevolent in
stitutions to make some money feed
ing the visitors dinner and supper. If
5000 people come here, which is a
very conservative estimate, to say
nothing if we should have 5000, it
Will take vast amount of food to
supply them. Let's get move on us
and be prepared for a ecord-breaking
crowd, and let's send them away all
boosting Americus-The Ideal Loca-
tion.

day considered in connection with the
forthcoming American note to Eng

SUFF FRAGETTES To
FIGHT FOR VOTE
Especial to Timse-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, June 25.-A new
form of the yellow peril" is threat
ening the Georgia legislature this
summer in the shape of a suffragette
campaign, started off by the distri-
button of large yellow handbills at
the capitol, urging the assembly to
grant votes for women, admission of
women to practice at the Georgia bar,
compulsory education, and the raising
of the age of consent from 10 to Is
years.
The yellow handbills announced that
bills aiming to bring about these re-
suits would be introduced by legisla-
tors who are in sympathy with the
views of the suffrage advocates.
In addition numbers of women are
at the capitol using their influence
toward getting favorable considera-
ton for the measures when they
come up.
A preliminary canvass of the
house seems to show that there is
practically no chance whatever for
passing a suffrage measure in Geor-
gia The fate of the other measures
which the women advocate is less cer-
tain.
