hold a meeting on next Friday morn
ing, June 10th, when they will meet
Charles T. Airey, of the Central OF
Georgia railway, and L. E. Chalenor

Some time ago Secretary Hyman. OF
the Chamber of Commerce, went to At
lanta and consulted J. Prince Webster
rate expert of the Railroad Commits
sion of Georgia, relative to the concen-
tration privileges enjoyed by the cot
ton shippers of Americas.
Some days later Mr. Webster came
to Americus and met the cotton men
and they talked the matter over during
a lengthy session, and it was decided
that If meeting of the railroad traffic
men of both roads and the cotton men
of Americas could be arranged, that
something definite could be >Sorned
cut, without having TO go before the
commission and file complaint. This
meeting on next Friday morning is the
outcome of splendid work of Mr.. Web
ster in securing the railroad men to
come here and try to adjust the mat
ter. There was held a meeting this
morning at 11:0O o'clock in the Cham
ber Of Commerce for the purpose OF
formulating plans for the meeting on
Friday morning. The cotton men dc
not want to ask of the railroads any
thing that is not just and equitable,
but Americus must and will stand UP
for what is justly due her in the way
OF rates. The meeting this morning
was well attended and much interest
was shown.

Order Elks will observe Flag Day,
Wednesday evening, June 14th, at the
High school auditorium.
In the absence of any other organiz-

MARTIN GLYNN To
PRESIDE At ST.
LOUIS GATHERING

ST. LOUIS, June 12.-All of the pre-
l:minaries of the democratic national
convention are practically completed,
it was announced this afternoon. The
National committee met her this morn
Ing and formally selected Martin Glynn
Of New York, to preside as temporary
chairman of the convention. The Sc
lection of other temporary officers was
left to the discretion of Chairman
Glynn, who had made no announce
ment of these officers at 8 o'colck this
afternoon.
Before adjournment, the national
committee voted the thanks of the par
ty to national chairman McCombs, who
recently resigned that position, and
named a committee to dispose of the
Texas contest for national committee
man. Thomas Love and william Poin-
dexter both claim this office, and the
committee named today will investi-
gate and report upon their claims.
The Hawaiian delegates contest and
the committeeman contest from Ha-
waii was referred to the new national
executive committee for final disposi-
tion.
A feature of interest that cropped out
today is the view held by influential
leaders that no reason exists for hold
ing a four-day convention, as was
planned. Convention leaders favoring
the four-day idea today explained that
st Louis citizens had contributed
100000 for four-day convention, and
that in view of this contribution to
the partyis funds, four-day session
should be held. 1t was also urged that
by holding a drawn-out convention the
leaders would be given adequate time
in which to plan a proper campaign,
having the assistance of able leaders
from every part of the country in these
efforts.

BUILDINGS BEING.
ERECTED At 3RD
DIST. FAIR SITE

The foundation of concrete for the
big poultry building at the Third
District Agricultural fair will be
completed this week and then the erec-
ton of the building will commence.
Ihls viii be one of the best poultry
show houses in the South, as the bad
effects of other buildings was taken
into consideration when this building
was being planned. Secretary Hyman
has had years of experience in this
work, and knows that many fine birds
have been lost at former poultry shows
on account of the draughts giving the
fowls colds and other diseases. This
objection has been eliminated in the
erection of the poultry building here,
the ventilation all being from the top
of the building and not from the front
and rear. There will be two entrances
to the building, 100 feet apart and the
building will be built in the form of
an "U." Visitors can go in at one
door and walk through the building
and go out at the other front.
The geese, turkeys and pigeons will
be outside of the building entirely.
Wire cages or coops will be built in
the courtyard between the two build
ing and here one will see them out on
the grass like they naturally are on a
farm or in poultry ward.
B. E. Adams, of Columbus, Ca, man
aeer of the poultry building, is busy
on the job, and says that he expects
tC have at least 1000 birds here for
this exhibit. The erection of the gate
or main entrance will be started in a
very short time, and this will be finish
ea first, that it may be seen from the
railroad as an advertisement for the
fair.
