GOV. HARRIS HAS
STRONG ADDRESS
TO SUMTER FOLKS
(BY cRANsToN wILL1AMs.)

lb1 CRANSTON WILLIAMS.)
Governor Nat E. Harris spoke inter
estingly in the interest of his campaign
for re election fer over an hour at the
courthouse Friday afternoon, to the
voters of Sumter county. The court
room was filled and number of peo-
pie stood during the governors ad-
dress.
He was presented to the large audi
ence by Representative J. e. Shep-
pard, who spoke in an eloquent and
emphatic manner of the part which
Governor Harris has played in recent
events in Georgias history. Mr.. Shep-
lard told of the history leading up to
the call for the extra session of the
general assembly last year when Gov
ernor Harris included the question of
prohibition in the proclamation. I'm
stintingly was the credit given to Gov
erlor Harris for the conspicuous and
determined part he had in placing the
present prohibition law on the statute
books. The remarks of Mr.. Sheppard
were appropriate and we're greeted by
frequent applause.
Governor Harris was met at Smith
Vile by large party of admirers. In
the Lee county city he made an address
from the front porch of the hotel, and
enthusiastic applause met his plea for
the vote of Georgians for governor.
He was not accompanied by coterie
of staff correspondents write OF
the enormous crowds which met him;
of the tidal waves of enthusiasm; of the
great outbursts from the lips of the
people; of the promises of support
from SO and 2-S per cent. of the voters.
Governor Harris came as a great Geor-
gian, and after his address in Ameri-
Gus remarks were heard everywhere of
the typical speech which is expected to
materially assist in adding Sumter
county to the column of Harris.
Governor Harris told of his actions
during the short time which he has
been in the statehouse as Geo.gla's s
chief executive. BY his vivid descrip-
tons of warm battles in the SOS he
conelusively demonstrated that he saw
service in the War Between the States,
thus destroying the false assertions
which have been whispered have been
whispered about him that he was NOT
even Confederate veteran.
The speech of Governor Harris was
a yote-winner, and as proof of the as
sertion, we point to many promises of
support rendered him after his address
by a large crowd which surged about
him. There we're former supporters
of DR.. Hardman, Pottle and Dorsey
who clasped his hand and promised
their active support.
The phrase which is reverberating
from one end Of the state to the other
Tell Uncle Nat rs for him." caught
a glad refrain in Americus Friday, and
it kept up during Saturday. 1t will
follow on Monday and all Georgia will
so to the polls Tuesday. carrying out
their fulsome r-omises.

A j 7 H D RIT les.
STILL WORK ON
THE WADE CASE

Twenty-three days have elapsed
since Walter Wade, the prosperous
young Leslie business man disap-
peared in Americus-and since that
time several startling developments
have been brought forward, although
no arrests have been made.
The authorities are at work on the
case, in fact, they have not relaxed for
single moment since the news spreod
on the Sunday afternoon of August
goth, that Wade was strangely missing.
The public well remembers the evil
dence found within circle of eight
miles which tended to prove that Wade
was dead. They are familiar with the
details of the finding of Wade's body
il the Flint river on the afternoon of
August 2Sth, with the Identification
perfect.
Since the body of young Wade was
found their has been lull in the case
so far as the public is concerned,
but not so with the authorities. The
people must stop and consider the
gravite of the atrocious crime. When
the police make an arrest they must
be armed with full facts in the case, so
as to bring justice to the perpetrators
of the deed.
1t would be grossly unjust for the
authorities to make an arrest on mere
suspicion because of the dark shadow
it would cast across any persons life,
we're they innocent. So, with this con-
sciousness the authorities have stead
fastly worked, hoping and trusting
that the time would soon come when
they could make arrests-and have
sufficient evidence to convict when the
parties are brought to trial.
Reward Suggested Here.
Americus has displayed a keen in
terest in the case, and INDUCED freely
in comment The people of Leslie,
Cobb and DeSoto raised a reward Of
$3.50 in cash for Wade's body, and this
was paid to the negro who found the
remains. Governor Harris offered a
reward of $3.50 for the arrest of the
parties who committed the murder
with evidence to convict A reward
on the same conditions amounting to
$500 has been offered by Walter Clop-
ton, of Leslie, relative Of the de-
ceased.
In many quarters it has been sug-
gested that the people of Americas
join in contributions which might as
sist in the work on the case.
One thing certain, the authorities are
not entirely ignorant of everything
which went on the night which marked
the death of Walter Wade. Another
thing-the authorities may have some
IL ing which would prove interesting to
the public. They may never make an
arrest, but it will not be through an
utter failure to do justice, but only one
OF those things where cloudy evidence
fails to furnish full light on the case.
A concensus Of opinion believes
that Walter Wade was murdered with
robbery as the motive. That clue has
been firmly sustained What comes
next will be interesting.

TURN UNDER THE.
STALK AND CLEAN
Up IS THE FIGHT.

The fight being waged against the
boil weevil in Sumter county is
counting for much, and it continues
steadily under the guidance of Demon
strator J. G. Oliver, with the hearty
cooperation of the Chamber of Com
merce through Secretary p. A. Feni-
more.
Two means of fighting the pest at
this time are advanced by Mr.. Oliver
He urges that the farmers turn all cot
ton stalks of the present crop under
from three to four inches, and in no
case less than three inches. He further
urges that farmers clean up ON
the premises, around the stumps. rub
bish and other waste matter which will
prove haven of refuge for the boil
weevil. If this is done before frost,
according to Mr. Oliver, it will be a
forceful means of destroying the pres
ent crop of boil weevils which are re-
ported in every section of Sumter
county.
The mes-Recorder has arranged
with Mr.. oliver and several prominent
authorities on the boil weeyil to fur
nish full data and material concern
ing every movement of the weevil and
the means of fighting him. Almost
every day, the public can find some
thing interesting and helpful on this
subject in the Times-Recorder. Moth
ing but remedies and efforts which
have been tried and are true will be
given the people of Sumter and this
section.
UnVer Appears 10 fe0ple.
The following circular has been is
sued by Agricultural Agent ]. G. Oil
yer, which is commended for the con-
siIeration of the people of this Sec
tion:
Are you interested in Sumter coun-
ty's cotton crop for next year? Then
make sure the crop will have to be
grown in spite of the boil weevil.
Cotton can be grown in spite of the
boil weevil.
How much can be grown depends
upon what each farmer will do in COM
batting the pest. That every farmer
in the county, and the business men, as
well, may be thoroughly acquainted
with the necessary steps to be taken, a
series of meetings have been arranged
for the places named below. If the
seriousness of the situation we are en-
tering into is considered. every farmer
with his labor, and business men as
well, will lay aside everything and at
tend meeting nearest him.

FLOYD P. JONES.
OUT Of RACE FOR.
THE LEGISLATURE.

Floyd P. Jones, of Leslie, has with
drawn from the race for representa-
tive of Sumter county, leaving the field
open with four candidates for the
Tuesdays primary, and two to be NOM
mated
Mr.. Jones told the Times-Recorder
Saturday afternoon that he had lert
the race as he did not care to put a
single thing in the way of pTohibi-
ton which had his hearty sympathy.
Mr. Jones said that he had reports
from Americus during the past sew
eral days concerning his stand on the
prohibition question, and that his
hearty sympathy was with the cause.
John D. Williams, of the 18th dis
trict, retired from the race several
days ago, leaving five candidates in
the field. With the retirement of Mr..
Jones only four aspirants are in the
race with the likelihood that the pri-
mary will be held with four candidates
or the ticket = Crawford Wheatley.
Stephen Pace, Ed Zimmerman and H..
j. Webb.
The announcements of the two
Withdrawals came as surprises to their
many friends and supporters. They
had assurances Of much strength in
their campaign.
Friends of each one of the four re-
naming candidates active in their be-
lief, and although the legislative race
developed later than other branches
of the political circles, it has gained
momentum through each days work,
Sumter county has always had a
strong delegation in the house, one
which has commanded power and re-
spect. The voters of Sumter are ex-
pected to maintain that high standards
by their choices in the primary OF

EPHESUS IN

AS stated yesterday, the site of
! Ephesus, in the early days of the
present era one of the greatest
cities of the world, has been lombard
ed. Only few struggling novels
now occupy what was formerly Ep-
hesus. The river which brought
ships from every part of the Meditcr-
ranean to it has long since dried up,
and the caravans of old which trans
ported the wealth of Asia to the an
cient city are now only in history.

clar:d the democratic candidate.
Hence there will be no primary
election and the arena in which
Mr.. Crupper will appear will not be
ready until next November.
The republican candidate is an Al
exandrian, socially Is popular, and
has many friends here who would be
glad to show their appreciation OF
him, but of course, he is not consld-
cred as congressional possibility he
will, however, remain in the lime
light as the Republican leader OF
this district.
Two years ago three hats were
in the ring, one belonging to Frank
Evans, another Alexandrian, who
also has many friends and acquain-
tances in our midst. He was a cham
p:cn of Theodore Roosevelt and OF
the Bull Moose party. Neither candl-
date was regarded seriously by Mir.
Carlin or his friends.
In bygone years when conVen-
ton met in Alexandria and selected
a candidate for Congress this city
had no more chance than the tradi-
tional stump-tail bull, at that time
tha delegates from other portions OF
the district preferring a standard
bearer from the rural district. Hence
it was seldom an Alexandrian made
his way to Congress, and when he
succeeded. he was generally COM
promise candidate, as was the case
with the late John S. Barbour. OF
late, however, all the candidates are
Alexandrians.
