banquetter to weep unrestrainedly
for time, and then go away in
despair, and probably commit sui
eide on an empty stomach. But the
cookery of the spread for the Travel
ers was absolutely unapproachable, as
every morsel contained hidden joys
and tidbits. The boys actually enjoy
ed it so much that they ate until the
pressure of their Wristbands stopped
their watches If they had one-and
their vests flew open like an engine
house door, and their stomachs SEEM
ed to push them over on their backs
and were sitting upon them, as they
turned to listen to the addresses from
the speakers of the evening.
Hon. W. M Wilmington presided
as Master of Ceremonies, after Presi-
dent H. H. Henderson had secured
the attention of the revelers, and
the constitution and bylaws of the
association had been read so as to
explain the object of the order. Mr..
Wilmington never appeared to a
better advantage as POSTMASTER, and
his remarks were teresely humorous,
to the point, and at times instruc-
lively interesting.
Hon. T. H Baird responded to the
toast Of Efficiency" in a most happy
strain. He spoke of the dependent
relation existing between the jobber
and wholesaler and the travelling
man, praised the cooperation and
stick-to-it-iveness that always had
characterized the endeavor of the
local travelling statesmen, and urged
them to cooperate each with the
other in their effort to continue
Greenwood as the best jobbing
point in the State, and to develop a
higher standard of efficiency in their
relations.
The toast Of Honesty in Business"
was next responded to by Hon. w. M.
Hammer, who in his characteristic
cally able and eloquent manner,
stressed the necessity of marked
honesty in all business dealings. He
praised the travelling statesmen as
most honorable avocation, and the
necessity Of the honesty that must
mark the relations of the travelling
representative, with his house, with
his customer, with himself, and with
Impromptu remarks were said by
Capt. P. w. Shearer, President
Henderson and Mr.. T. F. Alternately.
President Henderson called attention
to the State Convention of the
Travellers to be held soon at Clarks-
dale, and urged that Greenwood
send the largest delegation Of any
city in the State. He also assured
Greenwood and Leflore County of
the cooperation on the part of the
travelling statesmen for her develop
ment, upbuilding, and betterment,
and asked that the travellers always
be called on to assist in any worthy
undertaking in this direction. He
specially mentioned and urged that

THE GREENWOOD TRAVELLERS
ROYALTY BANQUETED

The members of the Greenwood
Travelling Mems Association were
rendered their Inaugural Banquet
on last Saturday evening at eight
O'Clock, at the Confederate Memorial
Building, the wholesale merchants
and jobbers interests of the city ex-
pressing in this manner the high re-
gard they have for the representa-
tives travelling out of and for this
city.
The Greenwood Travelling Mems
Association is the only local asso-
citation of its kind in the state, and
Greenwood is naturally proud of hav-
ing the first local travelling mems
club. The gentlemen representing
the knights of the Grip" who make
Greenwood headquarters or repre-
sent Greenwood concerns on the road
have always been an indispensable
asset to the growth and prosperity of
our city, and are the evangels who
have so consistently preached Green
wood as commercial center and
have made Greenwood the leading
jobbing center in Mississippi.
Promptly at eight-thirty the men,
bers of the association and their
guests gathered around the festal
board for the delicious banquet that
had been so wonderfully prepared by
the Baptist Ladies Aid Society, and
was so gracefully served by Mes
danes w. H. Harper, J. V. Seville,
P. E. Schilling, Chandler Worley,
George Beck, A. M. Holly, and Miss
Zubie Pinson. The splendid Green
wood Theatre Orchestra, as a cour-
tesy of Mr.. P. E. Schilling, rendered
music throughout the three hours
reign of enjoyment.
The menu consisted of lobster la
creole and coffee, ham stuffed with
sausage, chicken fried southern
style, rice with jiblet gravy, aspara-
gus with drawn butter sauce, English
peas and brains la creole, frozen
cranberries, hot rolls and coffee,

other palatable accessories. And
when the knights of the Grip" par
took of this sumptuous spread Of food
like er--used--to--make and
mothers fair-haired boy used to eat,
so sensibly prepared without strange
African sauces or weird Oriental fix
ings Or transatlantic goo stirred into
them or poured on to them or breath
ed upon them, they demonstrated a
more genuine enjoyment than is
generally to be observed among
banquetters. And as the boys ex-
pressed it, it was real food, that did
not need any vain pomp and circum-
stance to make it attractive, as it
stood on its own merits and was not
dependent upon scenic effects. It's
proverbial that at banquets the person
is generally featured as consuming
his food with such careless abandon
that it is hard to tell whether the
front of his vest was originally dry
goods or groceries, as the chicken
generally defines chemical analysis,
the cranberry sauce belonged in a
paint store and the green peas were
green with Paris Green; and there

Russian authorities report additional

Gently forced passage of the river
Sereth along a wide trout south of
Brody, this bringing the Russians
closer to Lemberg. The SIav armies
now threaten to outfiank the Aus

Teuton army there is said to be pre-
carious.
Heavy fighting continues around Yer

Germans failed last night to regain
any of the ground lost last week, but
that determined resistance is being Of
fered by the Crown Princes army in
that sector. Only artillery actions are
reported in the somme region.

The total Ottoman losses are declared

British troops have driven German
colonial forces in central East Africa
to point beyond the Central railway

sion, thus forcing the Germans into
comparatively narrow arc, beyond
which the Portuguese are operating,
the hore being to drive the Germans

OPPOSES CHILD
LABOR BILL FOR
RIGHTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. T.
Senator Overman, opposing the child
labor bill in the senate today declared
congress had no authority to enact
such law as the pending bill. He
told the senate the matter should be
submitted to the states in the form of
constitutional amendment, and that
fer a hundred years it had been almost
universally considered that no legisla-
tion could be enacted which is not
expressly authorized by the constitu-
tion.
Concluding his address, Senator
Overman asserted itn ow seems to be
the theory that anything not forbidden
by the constitution can be enacted, and
that if this legislation be declared con-
stitutional there will be nothing left
Of the rights of the state, with no bar
rier to the Capitalization of legislative
power at Washington.

RECRUITING MEN
PLAN CAMPAIGNS
IN THE DISTRICT

Much interest is being manifested in
the recruiting office in charge of Cap
tain R. T. Waller, Jr., of the Coast
Artillery. Many young men have ap-
piled at the armory for information
leading to entering the service, and
several applicants have already ap-
piled for admission.
One recruit, Kenneth Wellons, will
leave for Macon Tuesday, and upon ex-
animation there will be mustered into
the ranks of the guardsmen. He will
be accompanied by one of the artillery
men of the local recruiting office.
Captain Waller is in receipt of in
formation showing that interest in the
enlistment about Americus is more
intense than it is at any other of the
recruiting points, and should the
troops be called to the border it is
known that many men will apply for
enlistment.
Captain Waller confidently believes
that the guardsmen now in Camp Har-
ris will leave within ten days for bor1
der service. He stated to represent
Ative of the Times Recorder Monday
that after consultation with other of
ficers he was certain the boys would be
on the move by Saturday The fact
that the South Carolina guardsmen
were called Friday strengthens this
belief.
Maps of the Third Congressional dis
trict were received Monday, and Cap
tain Waller, with his assistants, were
busy mapping out the best route over
the section. 1t is more than likely
that they will visit every town in the
district, and warm campaign will be
waged for recruits.
One point not known to the public is
that enlistment in Americus is for
the Second regiment, and any one
wishing to be with home boys" may
dc so by entering the army here. Re
ports coming in every day serve to
show that enlistment is brisk, and it is
practically a certainty that the full
quota will be secured.
Captain Waller desires to say
through the volumns of the Times-Re-
corder that anyone wishing full in
formation on the subject may do so by
applying at the armory and talking it
ever with the recruiting corps there.
To get information on the subject does
not bind the seeker, and the branches
offered there might be opportunity
knock to the young man.
