IN BLOODY FRAGAs

and seriously wounded by General"
Brown, coon, in fracas at one OF
the favorite watering resorts on Cot
ton avenue Thursday. Jesse, it seems,
decided to end the earthly pleasures
of General with we'll directed beer
bottle, aimed at Browns head. The shot
told, but the blow was not sufficient TO
floor the General. Brown then took
matters into his own hands, and set
cut for Jess with an ice-pick. After a
lively scuffle, Brown made swipe
for Jess face with the pick, and dan
gerons wound in the cheek was there

not able to face the recorder, and they
hit for the tall timbers. 1t is very
probable that they will be harpooned
by the guardians Of the peace Friday.

DAN B0RUM DIED
SUDDENLY At HIS
HOME ON FRIDAY

All Americus was shocked Friday
morning when it was known that Dam
icl M. Borum had died suddenly 1t
came as thunderclap out of a clear
ky to his numerous friends. The
Immediate cause of his death was
heart trouble.
Mr.. Borum was one of the best
known and most highly esteemed men
in this section. Public spirited and
magnanimous almost to fault, he was
ever to the front in all matters per-
tanning to the good of his people, town
and section.
He was one of the promoters of the
new railroad from this city to Hawk
insville, and did and was doing, even
upto the very time of his death all that
was in his power to foster and en-
courage the building of the new road.
In his death this enterprise has lost =
strong supporter and the community
valuable citizen.
The deceased was born in Dooly
county on farm, on which is now
located the town of Unadilla. His
carly days were spent as a tiller of
the soil. Here he acquired diligence
and perseverance, and an appreciation
of the horny-handed sons of toll that
never departed from him. Later in life
he engaged in the mercantile business
at Snow, Dooly county. About thirty
years ago he came to this city, and
since then has been prominently iden-
titled with the business interests Of
this section. For number of years he
was employed by P. c. Clegg. leaving
this firm, he embarked in the broker
age business for himself and which
business he continued until the time of
his death. He held many positions Of
public trust and served several terms
as alderman OF Americas.
In 1882 he was married in this city
to Miss Barlow. The result of this
union was two daughters, Miss Emma
Mae Borum, who survives her father,
and Miss Mildred Borum, who died
two years ago. Besides his daughter,
the deceased is survived by Mrs. Bo-
rum, enc sister, Mrs. w. H. Buff, OF
Elko, Houston county, and two broth
crs, Lon Borum and L. A. Borum, botn
of Unadilla, Dooly county. The de-
ceased was So years old.
The Times-Recorder voices the SEN
timent of the entire community in de-
ploring the death of MIR. Borum.
The funeral arrangements of Mr.. Bo-
runs funeral had not been completed
when the Times-e -ecorder went to press
Friday afternoon.

OLD LEAGUE IS
BEGUN OVER FOR
SOUTH GEORGIA

The old Georgia State League, of
which Americus was a member for
three years, has been re-organized and
will begin its fourth season on May
18th. The circuit has been given d
new name, and from now on will APP
pear in the sporting columns as the
Dixie League.
Only two of the old Georgia State
League cities have berths in the new
circuit. The new additions to the
league are cambridge, Eufaula, Moui-
trie and Quitman.
At a league meeting held last week
II Moultrie T. A. Ward was elected
president of the Dixie League. A
schedule of 81 games was decided on.
All Of the six cities in the league
have gone to work to round up clubs
that will be in the race for the pen
n&nt. Dothan and Valdosta will prob
ably have the bulge on the other towns
as they have had several years expert
ence in Glass D ball. But the other
towns believe they will have teams
we'll up in the running.
Before the league was organized
every club was forced to display their
subscription list at the meeting. This
gave the other five cities an idea of
how much money each town was count
ing on, thus eliminating the possibil-
ity of weak sister" developing later
in the season.
Training season opens Monday in the
new Dixie League and two weeks after
the jumps will yell play Bawl" A
prosperous year of fast baseball is ex-
pected by the fans in south Georgia
and Alabama.

cambridge car with the cambridge

cambridge has made such a fuss and
attracted so much attention during the
convention that many attending got
the idea the Biggest City on Earth"
(of its size) was bidding for the 1917
convention, and several delegates
pledged their support to the Balm
Lridge delegation. But the boys from
decatur came to enjoy themselves and
not to bid for the big gathering.

CHARITY MISSION
IS NOW OPERATED
UNDER AUSPICES OF METHODIST
CHURCHES OF CITY, HEAD
QUARTERS ARE OPENED.

Much" interest 10 being manifested
among members OF all denominations
in the mission and general headquar.
ters for charity work which has just
been established by the Methodist
churches of the city, at 449 Buschman
street. Capt. ]. w. McAfee, formerly
in charge of the Hattiesburg branch
of the Salvation Army, has been placed
in charge.
Concerning the mission and its pur-
poses, the Rev. Charles w. Crisler, pas
tor of the Main Street Methodist
Church, in talk to the members OF
his congregation on Sunday, had this
to say:
ut is not our purpose to build an
other church. but to reach a class OF
people that is not being touched or
helped by the church. There are hun
dreds of people in the city who are
not affiliated with any church, who
never attend religious services. Then
great many church members. COM
ing into the city, do not connect them
selves with the church and are finally
lost sight of by the Christian commun-
ity. Besides, there is drifting popu-
lation that is not being reached and
influenced by the methods now en-
ployed by our churches, 1t is a serious
fact that the church is failing to reach
', large class of people-people who
are not and will not come to the
church. 1t is our duty to take the Dene-
fits of the Christian religion to these
neglected needy ones of our neighbors.
The Methodist Church has not done
all IT could and has not gotten proper
credit for what it has done for making
the city better.
Capt. McAfee will not only conduct
religious services two or three times
week in the Mission, but he will do
an extensive charity and help work
among those who are needy and de,
serving. He will help to find employ
ment for those who are hunting WORK
and will do what he can to get the
man who is down on his feet again
The Mission is to be the Good Samari
tan to as many people as its means
and opportunity will permit. 3.
