But the Times Recorder will not

Mexico. Each days developments are
being watched with interest by Amer

awaited with a keeness of purpose
The TIL. will receive its regular
daily dispatches from the Associated

This information was given Arthur
Rylander, a member of the Sumter
county board of commissioners, after
being received first by the Times Re-
corder He stated that as soon as the
bill became 4. law and the advertising
features for building such structure
were compiled with that the counties
would begin the eerction of the bridge
at Murray's Ferry. 1t will mean much
for the convenience of the people of
Sumter and Dooly counties.
1t is said that Crisp county intends
to build bridge at Hugenin Ferry,
and it was at this point where the
Crisp commissioners wanted the COM
missioners Of Sumter to cooperate in
building a bridge. If Crisp builds the
bridge it will afford greater conven-
fence for the people in the southeast
ern section of Sumter county.

o'clock this morning. The offensive

The attack, evidently pre-concerted,
followed efficient artillery preparation
which had been in progress during
a week past. Promptly at 1880 this
morning, without warning that could
be observed by the enemy, British in
fantry leaped from their trenches an !
uoured into the German bitches, where
heavy hand-to-hand fighting followed.
THE Overwhelming numbers poured in
TO the German trenches, however,
provequal to their task, while British
artillery, firing over the heads of the
infantry, prevented German reserves
coming to their assistance of their
comrades.
The first onrush took the Germans
completely by surprise, and many pris-
oaers we're taken besides numbers of
machine guns and rifles. The enemy

The suggestion of Thomas L. Bell for
a fund for the boys of the Americas

some quarters, but not as many as
tie moving spirits desired. The spirit
of the fund and the gift can be made
more attractive by every one assisting
in the cause.
The Times-Recorder will publish

fund on Monday-the day before the
Fourth of July so the boys in Macon
can have god news for Tuesday.
Mr. Bells suggestion is kindly anI
patriotic. The Times-Recorder be-
lieves in the cause, and we feel that
the people will back the movement in
eevry phase.
The little city of Waynesboro, Ga q,
over in the eastern part of the state,
contributed $1,000 for fund for their
boys. They have it in the bank-and it
is growing, We can beat that.

MANY VISITORS
To SEE THE BOYS
MACON CAMPS

Numbers of people will visit Macon
Sunday to see the members Of the
Americas Ligh. Infantry, and to view
the mobilization camp of the Georgia
National Guards. Hosts of visitors
have seen the local boys encamped a..
Macon since their departure on
week ago.
Other folks are planning to visit the
camps at time before their departure,
which is now figured on as July 10th,
although they may move sooner if
their full equipment is received and
distributed.
The only physical remembrance Of
the A. L. r. In few days will be the
boys who will return after falling to
successfully pass teh physical examin-
alton. The recrpiting Office has been
closed, and the armory on Forsyth
street presents bare appearance.

corning the company and the camp.
