of having the required surveys made. That is as far they go. The register must do the rest; he order the publication of notices of application patent and these notices be printed for consecutive weeks in newspaper designated by him. At the end of that period the register may issue certificate But unless the certificate is issued before the end of the year. the applicant proceed with his assessment work; otherwise his claim is thrown open to the activity of the claim jumper.
 This year the number of applications for mineral patents exceeds by that any previous year in the history of the local land office. They have all been held up and the applicants will be compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars because Messrs. Ashurst and smith have played politics with the vacancy created by the death of Colonel Weedn.
 There understand. twenty four candidates for appointment to the vacancy Each candidate has political following and Mir Ashurst understands that if he should recommend any of them for appointment the other twenty three and their friends would against him. It therefore, decided, Mir Weedins death. that appointment would be made until after the election.
 Holders of mineral claims are not the only losers in this political game. Applications for homestead pat ents contests and all proceedings in the land office in which publication is required, all in state of suspension But the delay is costing these parties nothing but time and patience. They will have their relief upon the appointment of register. But there be relief for the holders of mineral claims. If register appointed and installed today it would be possible for him issue his certificate reev ing applicants of the necessity of doing the ment work before the end of the year.
 This thing stands plainly against Mir. Ashurst. II cannot be offset by his printed record of achieve the of the United States Whatever he may have done for progress" and humanity his political manipulation of the office of register of the land office has his constituents hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Captain John A Cobb, ordinary of
Sumter county, has received notifica-
ton from the Southern Express Com
pany, of about two hundred shipments
of liquors which have been received
in this county since May 1st, when the
new prohibition law went into effect.
The new law requires that each
agent of the express company shall
file notices of the receipt of shipments
IN their Office every three days.
With two hundred shipments, the
great majority of which show the
maximum quantity of two quarts, Sum-
ter county has received under the new
law about four hundred quarts.
First Raid Friday.
The first raid since the new law was
made Friday by the city police at the
store of Will Duncan, a we'll known
Americas negro. No violation was
recorded after the search OF Duncan's
house.

CHAUTAUQUA FOR WHOLE
WEEK BEGINNING e
Continued from Page IL

Part in this program are mentioned
here, and is for the purpose that the
readers of the Times Recorder may
know of the high class of talent that
+ is to appear before them. And right
here it is we'll to say that never before
have the people of Americas had the
opportunity to see and hear such
brilliant array of artists as is afforded
this year.
And now just a word about and for
the ladies of the Hospital association.
They have succeeded in securing one
CT, if not the best, Chautauqua pro-
grams that was possible to secure.
They have worked hard and diligently
giving much time and attention clad
ing up to the final arrangements. Not
only this, the local committee bought
900 $500 season tickets as a guar
antee to the Chautauqua association,
that their coming to Americas would
not be Improbable. Now these tickets
can be bought as long as they last for
$3.50. When these are exhausted they
cannot be had for less than $500. On
the sale of these 1000 tickets they
receive a liberal percentage for the
benefit of the hospital These tickets,
however, must be disposed of before
the Chautauqua begins in order to
get this liberal percentage. After it
has opened a much smaller amount
will be received for the hospital fund
II is therefore to be hoped that the
citizens of Americas will not delay
the purchasing of their season tickets
but will do so at once, securing them
at lesser price and helping the
Hospital association to a much larger
share of the proceeds.
Every day during Chautauqua week
the banks of the city will close at
loon, except Saturday. This has been
the custom heretofore and will be ad-
hered to this year
AS whole Chautauqua week in
Americas promises to be a great week.
A week Of pleasure, recreation, in
struction and profit, and it is to be
hoped that everyone who can will
avail themselves of the opportunity to
share therein.
Notice From President.
The local committee of the Chautau-
qua will sell tickets from the Rylander
Shoe Co. store, commencing Monday
morning.
Those having pledge cards are re-
quested to take up their tickets, as we
depend upon them to make our Chau-
tauqua a success.
The people who have pledged GER
tain ladies for season tickets can buy
the tickets from anyone, and destroy
the pledge card.
