LOOSE Guns FOR
ADVICE OFFERED

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 81
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Blakelee told the senate post-office
committee that he considered the
amendments to the postal bills relat-
iLg to mail pay and rural delivery
surrender to the railroads. He defend
ed his action in organizing a cam
peign against the amendments and
the senators became angry.
Senator Thomas w Hardwick, of
Georgia, asked do you think this
congress sits here and solemnly list
ems to little bureau chiefs and las no
thought, no intelligence, no convic-
tion, no conscience of it's own and
that because congress doesn't agree
with your recommendations and acts
OH its own initiative you can slander
senators because forsooth, they don't
follow your judgment"
Assistant Blakelee said that he act
ed purely from conviction that the
committee had acted wrongly and
against public interests. He declared
that the amendments gave the rail-
ways what they wanted and would
dieorganize eight hundred rural routes
ard inconvenience three hundred
thousand citizens.

Of the murder of his father-in-law,
john E. Peck.
The summing up of the evidence in
the Waite trial was concluded shortly
after noon Saturday, and Justice
Shears charged the jury. Three alien
lists called by the state today refuted
the testimony introduced at yester-
days hearing, tending to show that
DR.. Arthur Warren Waite was insane
when he killed John E. Peck, his
wealthy father-in-law. Two alienists
employed by the defense testified at
the hearing yesterday that DR.. Waite
was moral imbecile, and not respon-
sible because Of his mental condition.

Feature

Secretary manager E. H. Hyman Of
the Chamber of Commerce and his
assistants were busy as bees Satur-
day getting things in shape for the
Third Agricultural District Fair to be-
held in Americus during the fall.
The work of compiling the premium
LIST was practically completed under
the hard work Of Secretary Hyman,
and his assistants. Mr.. Hyman and
Miss Martha Wheatley spent Saturday
morning going over the fine arts and
crafts department. 1t was decided in
this work to award prizes for work
not usually listed in the fair premium
lists, such work that is being done in
the schools of the district This was
done in order to enable the school
children to share in the valuable
premiums to be awarded. The fancy
wcrk department will be included in
this feature of the fair, and will ado
much to the attractiveness of the dis
plays.
H. C. Davis, of the Cleveland Stock
Farm, Elbridge, Tenn, sent cuts of
Angoria goats, one cut of Cheviot
sheep, and one cut of Barred Ply
mouth rock chickens to agricultural
and these will be used in
the premium book. Mr.. Davidson has
announced that he will have on dis
play at the fair grounds solid car
load of Cheviot sheppard Angoria
goats, and further, that they will be
sold at auction on the fair grounds.
This will give a certain impetus to
stock raising in Sumter and the sur
rounding counties.
A communication was received from
Roy Rogers, secretary of the Appling
county fair association, which holds
an annual fair at Baxley, announcing
that he has joined the Georgia Fairs
association. Secretary manager Hy-,
man, of Americus, is secretary of this,

Mr.. Hyman took UP matter with
Railroad Commissioner Hillyer re-
garding the crossings of the railroads
with the public highways Mr.. LYMAN
that bells be placed on the
several crossings to insure safety to
drivers of vehicles, motorists and ped
Last year, during the ses-
sion of the senate and house of repre-

mission was introduced. This bilr
which would cause the placing Of
bells at all crossings passed the SEN
ate but was killed in the house by a

CROWDS ATTENDING
The WEEKS SHOWS
Events Pleasing to
Many People
Who Attend

Friday was another great day at
the Chauthauqua. The crowds We're
larger, perhaps, than the days before,
and on every hand it's praises are being
seen.
AS was stated in the Times Recorder
the Weatherwax Brothers held forth in
the afternoon; also in shorter pro-
gram in the evening. They were every
thing that had been said of them, and
more, too. They were, indeed, first
class entertainers, their renditions cons
sisting of instrumental and vocal mu-
sic and monologistic numbers. That
they were highly appreciated was evil
denced by the frequent applause they
elected from the audience.
The Times Recorder was in error as
to the speaker of Friday evening, not
our error, however, but due to a
change in the program, necessitated
ty the leaving of Montraville Wood
fTcm the Chautauqua circuit, some
three days ago. Still this was no great
disappointment to the large crowd as
sembled, as E. H. Lougher spoke upon
the subject THE Shackles of the
World" in a most masterful address.
Perhaps, there is no better informed
man today in America on prison mat
tors and conditions than Mr.. Tougher.
rs an Oriental traveller and lecturer,
and as chaplin of the big state prison
at Jackson, Michigan, has had am
pie opportunity to study conditions
pertaining to crime; hence he is an
authority on these matters and never
fails to hold the attention of his audi
ences as he did on Friday night He
treated his subject in the light of a
new criminology, and held to the idea
that a better day was dawning in the
prevention of crime and the control and
care of criminals.
There will be no exercises today, but
on Monday morning at 10 o'clock they
will be resumed with exercises for the
children, the attraction being Folk
Tales From Different Nations" After
the tales have been told, the regular
lecture of the morning follows, and
which is always interesting and in
structive to the children, as we'll as the
grown-ups.
In the afternoon comes the famous
Schummann Quintette. If it Is rear
music you want, you will get it here.
The real feature of this number on the
program is the production of a sym
phonic concert with company of only
five musicians. In order to produce
these effects a specially constructed
ORGAN is carried by the Schumanns.
This instrument gives the reed and
wind effects of large orchestra COM
bined with the piano and stringed in
struments. producing results that are
