THE SPIRIT OF VERMONT.

The following from Grit, published at
Williamsport, Pa, will be of interest
to Vermonters, as the author is Mid
dlebury graduate of 1899 and is we'll
and favorably known in this vicinity:
The spirit of Vermont is neither to
watchfully wait, wabble, nor run.
In Colonial days, the Green Mountain
boys met the LAND grabbers" at the
border and cast them into Lake Cham
plain. During the Revolution, Ticon-
deroga fell, seized by Ethan Allen
"in the name of Jehovah and Continen-
tai Congress. In the Civil war YER
mont troops welcomed the signal to
charge; they loathed the retreat. In
the clash with Spain, Vermonters left
college and farm, defying the storms Of
bullets and the swarms of germs in the
army beef. The halls of Congress have
ever resounded with the voices of YER
mont statesmen, to whom public office
was a public trust; who could neither be
bought nor sold.
The spirit of Vermont cries out to
Congress: "Shal our national courage
become byword? Or shall we make
terms with international brigands who
drown, rob, commit arson and murder
the defenceless? Cage the Mexican
hyenas! If scorpions threaten, kill be-
fore they sting, Cage plotters and
traitors !"
Typical of the spirit of Vermont was
the speeding of its regiments, at the

OUSKY PLAYERS
TAKE A TRIP To
Do THEIR BEST

The fame Of Americas as a base
ball city has gone far and wide
throughout the confines of this bean
tiful Southland, but its representatives
in the last trip have failed to Qualify
as to colcr.
Several days ago a prominent base
ball fan of Tallahassee, Fla, wired
the manager of the baseball team IN
his city to bring the squad to TaI-
lallassee for game. In some way the
wiles were crossed, and the message
was received by Fred Williams, mana
ger of the Americas negro team.l
transportation over the Central Of
Georgia railway was received in Amer
icus for the team of twelve players.
ard the dawn of last Tuesday found
the twelve colored athletes bound for
the land of the Everglades.
Tallahassee had drawn UP in gay
attire to welcome the Americus team
who was to battle for the honors Of
the day in the capital city of Florida.
TIE huge automobiles of that indus
trious city footed their welcome az
the train rolled into the section.
Fred dismounted from the train
into the crowd of greeters, and, per-
chance, stated that he was the mana
ger. The crowd assaiIed him fore and
aft; there were attacks with heavy
showers of canister, and, forsooth,
counter attacks. Fred was rendered
and remained in that
state until he reached Americus yes
terday.
OF twelve players who made their
way to Florida, only five have return
ID. The whereabouts Of the seven
other diamond stars is unknown.
1t all goes to show that the signals
were crossed and instead of sending
a team of white baseball
stars, the colored brethren of the city
furnished the team.
Several members of the Americus
ravelers were considerably damaged
it the hands of the crowd which made
lpthe informal reception. They were
erected with Dea arms-but powerful
lists.

With the withdrawal of Prof. Mathis,

Tc the Voters of Sumter County:
Since my announcement for the sen.

on my return home this morning,
called him by phone to assure him of
my appreciation of his friendship
which began soon after my coming to
Americus, and which has ripened with
the years, and to pledge to him my sup
port for that position.
Not reluctantly but gladly do l with

BLAME THE 'SLAT0R

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug 11.-If the far
mers Of Georgia find themselves una
bic to secure farm loans under the
federal farm loan act, which is now
about to be put into operation. for the
reason that Georgia's land title system
will not stand the test for federal re-
quirements they can blame the Geor-
gia Legislature for neglecting their i'm
terests.
There is now pending in the house n
bill to put in effect in this state modi-
fed form of the Torrens land title
system, famous throughout the world.
1t was drawn by as pecial commission
OF lawyers and business men, headed
by Judge Arthur G. Powell, formerly
a justice of the state appellate court.
Newspapers, civic bodies, real estate
exchanges and farmers organizations
throughout the state have endorsed the
bill and urged its passage.
The bill was introduced at the ses-
son Ct 1915, was referred to com
mittee and favorably reported, was
read the second time, and took its
pace on the calendar for third reading
and passage. All Of that progress.

:,0|AM0ND STARS.
TO FORM LINEUP
I9lH AMER|CUs

When His Honor, the Jumps, calls
play bawl" in Albany Monday after
Z y, Americu~ will present a formid-
all battle array in an effort to win the
first gam of Intersection series
between the two cities.
The retu of amateur baseball be-
tween Al Gus and Albany is greeted
with pleasure. The tin-can rattle Of
O. B. hak zen safely packed away in
both cities-as Albany threw up her
team in the Sally league, and Americas
left organized baseball last year.
Among the probable players on the
Americus lineup are Tommy Hooks
behind the bat His pegging arm is
the same as of yore, and his batting
eye presents keen visions of solid con-
nections. Tom Lane is expected to
ornament the initial sack. Emmett
Bolton may play the keystone bag.
Rafferty,, visitor in the city, here in
connection with laying the new Lee
street pavement, will adorn the short
station, and, by the way, he is a star
OF the Illuminating variety. He has
played this season, and is in trim form.
In fact, Rafferty, has seen service in
organized baseball.
Glenn Colby, the moving spirit be-
hmd the series, will play third base.
and Glenn's ability and record is well
known hereabouts.
In the outfeld, there will be Cham
Hiss. Johnson, Pantone and several
others are practicing regularly in the
pasture art. Either Johnson, of Hunt
ington nativity, or Pantone, known
hereabouts, will pitch the first game.
There are several other players who
will go to make up the Americus team.
Many people are expected to go to
Albany to see the first game Monday.
On August oath and 25th, when the
Confederate Veterans are here, a re-
turn engagement will be played by AL
bany in this city.
Every true lover of clean sport in
Americus welcomes the return of cor
dial amateur relations between AL
bany. 1t assures brilliant games for
the season Of 1917, with a good and
solid pavement towards this end being
made with the approaching games.
