Americus motorists are giving little
concern to the threats of dire punish
ment emanating from Atlanta and to
be visited upon all who do not give
up five dollars for a new tin tag for
the current year. Several hundred

law last year, and win pursue the
same course this year. The law is
unpopular throughout the state, and
thousands of motorists will not buy
the tin plates, while others may do so.

OF JUDGE Z. A. LITTLEJOHN.

The party of friends Of Judge 2. A.
Littlejohn who went to Washington
this week in interest of his appoint

judgeship in Georgia, have returned.
Judge Littlejohn left the capital last
night, and will doubtless arrive here
this evening. His hundreds of admir-
ing friends are, quite naturally,
much disappointed in the fact that the
appointment to this important Office
was not given him recognizing as they
do his eminent qualification and fit
ness for the position. Judge Little
john was splendidly endorsed for the
appointment, and his failure is far
more the states loss than his own.

TIFTON, Ga, March 4.-Conditions

has never gotten off right. With $100

private subscriptions easy to get, it
is believed the hospital will soon be

BY THE SENATE
Judge LittlejOhn, of Americas, Prom
inent Candidate for the Office-Sc-
lection of Lambden Victory Fer
HOke Smith.
(By Associated Press.)

W %ASSNNAabCA
WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
President Wilson last night signed a
bill creating new federal district
judgeship in Georgia, and a short timt
afterwards sent to the senate the nom
ination of William Wallace Lambda
of Waycross, for the position.
The president acted quickly in the
matter to avoid giving judge re-
cess appointments practice he has
opposed. The senate later confirmed
the nomination of Mr.. Lambdin.
Representative Crisp Wednesday
presented the name of Judge q. A.
Littlejohn, of Americus, to the presi-
dent for the place.
Ends Long Fight.
The appointment of w. w. Lamb
din, of Waycross, to the assistant fed
eral judgeship in the southern dis
trict of Georgia ends fight for polit
ical preferment that has been on ever
since the Macon convention last
August.
The other men advanced for the
place were Robert ]. Travis, of Sa-
vannah; Judge 2. A. Littlejohn, Of
Americus; Joseph E. Pottle, Of Mil
ladgeville; Thomas S. Fielder, of
Macon, and there was some talk of
Congressman Bartlett, also of Macon.
Mr.. Lambdin has been one of tn
staunchest supporters of Senate
Hoke Smith in every race for offic
the Atlanta man has made in tn
state of Georgia. He was also Hard
wick man in the recent senatorial
race, and worked for Senator Hard
wick to no small effect during the
Macon convention.
Judge Lumbdin's Record.
WAYCROSS, Ca, March Away
cross friends of Judge w. w. Lambdin
were highly gratifed last night when
they learned from Washington of his
appointment as United States Judge.
Ever since he moved to Waycross from
Barnesyille, in 1906, Judge Lamb
din has been actively and prominently
identified with all progressive move
ments in Waycross, becoming one of
the most popular men of the city. He
associated himself with Leon A. Will
son and John W. Bennett for the
practice of law, and has been unusu-
ally successful. While never seeking
political office in Waycross, friends
put him into the race several years
ago for member of the board of edu-
cation, which position ne filled with
credit. AS he taught for a number
of year before beginning the practice
of law, it was returning to his first
love in a way. Judge Lambdin has
been in Washington for several days,
but is expected home before the end
of the week. He is tn first Waycross
man ever to receive a federal ap-
pointment of any Importance.

THIRD
IS
DISMISSED.
FIRST CONGRESS- UNDER COM
PLETE DEMOCRATIC CONTROL
SINCE 1895 ADJOURNS AFTER
ALMOST CONTINUOUS SESSION
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
Congress adjourned today, sine die.
The house finished its work and ad-
journ at four minutes after twelve.
Four minutes later President
Marshall dismissed the senate and
the first Democratic congress since
1895 was thing of the past.
Despite unsettled conditions, the
Sixty-Third Congress set a record as
favoring economical government by
cutting down the appropriations sew
eral million dollars. During the ses-
sion the appropriations totalled ST.
12O, ,4S4,324.
Congress has been in almost contin-
uous session since President Wilson S
inauguration two years ago. Begin
ming with an extra session called by
the preident April Z, 1913. Congress
has worked actually 637 days.
Much important legislation was ac-
complished, but much contemplated,
some of it hard pressed by the presi-
dent and party leaders was left un-
done. 1t is the present intention of
the president and his advisers to give
congress a rest. Rather than force an
extra session, they would leave the
remainder of the administration s con-
structive policies to a new congress
next winter, which, although under
Democratic control will have a re-
duced majority in theh ouse.
Two appropriations bills, those
providing funds for the Indian SER
vice and the postal department, fail
ed to pass, and the current appropri-
ations in these two departments were
extended another wear.
The administration ship PURCHASING
measure, the Philippines bill, the con-
servatiOn bill and the rural credits
provision in the agricultural bill all
failed to receive final action. Rati-
fication of the treaties between the
United States and Nicaragua and Col
ombia was postponed.
The neutrality resolutions passed in
the closing hours of the session, were
signed by President Wilson during the
afternoon and a slater INIT given out
at the white house by Secretary Tu-
multy, quotes President Wilson as
praising highly the work of congress
as a whole.
Foremost among the enactments IF
the congress just adjourned were the
Underwood Simmons tariff act, with
the income tax, which replaced the
Aldrich-Payne tariff law; the federal
reserve act, re-organizing the curren-
cy system; antitrust laws supplement
Panama canal tolls exemption for
American coastwise shipping, act di-
reoting the building at cost of $685.
100000 of a government railroad to
the mineral fields of Alaska; a gov
ernment war risk insurance and pro
visions for the transfer of foreign
owned or built ships to American reg
istry.

 James was given a, leave of absence when the Braves were in Chicago three weeks ago and it was thought he would not rejoin the club until it arrived in the Windy City on it's last western trip.
 The latest information regarding his return is taken to mean that his arm is better. and that he will be able to go to work soon after he arrives. If he is all right again it will mean much added strength to the club.

DETROIT ONE
 GAME BEHIND RED SOx NOW

Detroit, Mich. Aug. 2s.-Tiger critics predicted the Tanks would be soft picking, and those Yankees were. The New York men put up a feeble resist ance here yesterday, and were twice defeated by Iop-sided scores Detroit took the first game, 8 to 1, while they won the second one just 'as easy, Il to 3.
 As the CIevelands took an unexpect- ed fall out of the leading Red Sox, the Tigers again jumped to. within a game of the pace-setters, and pennant hopes are again running high in Tiger town. As for Manager Donovan, he has about given up all hope for land ing a first division berth.
 Detroit had a, hitting carnival. The Tigers licked four Yank boxmen for 29 hits Cole, Pieh and Donovan, took the drubbing. Shawkey was the only Tank gunner capable of fooling the FeIines, but his pitching in the first game was wasted; as King Cole was banged for ten hits in the first two in nings of the first game. x Cy Pieh was given a chance to start tn second game, but as a starter Cy is usually a fizzle. He allowed six runs before Donovan took him Out at the end of the fourth inning. Then Donovan took hold: Wild Bill got a great hand in the sixth, when he struck out Ty Cobb. with the bases full, but in the seventh Bills former mates rushed him for five runs.
 Sam Crawford had his day yester- day afternoon. Tn seven official times at bat, he poked five. singles and a triple
