LOCAL SHR|NERS
To JOURNEY IN
To TOWNSVILLE

Not only viii the coming of Alec
Temple of Savannah, of which there
are many Americus members, to
Thomasville bring a large number
from this city and all of the other
cities Of south Georgia to Thomas
Vile, but Ambassador R. L. Wylly
states that he has received notifca-
tion that Yaarab Temple, Ct Atlanta,
and Al Shah Temple, of Macon, will
be largely represented by delegations
of the faithful.
The pilgrimage to ThomasviIle
seems to have attracted great at
tention and the south Georgia town
will be the Mecca for pilgrims from
all portions of the state. This is at
t'ibuted not only to the fact of there
being an unusually large number or
the unregerenate to cross the hot
sands, but to the desire that many
have to visit Thomasville and see for
themselves what are its various t.
fractions and judge as to whether it
deserves all that has been told about
it by others.
The program arranged for the oc-
casion is full of interest, and those in
charge will do all in their power to
make it grand success. Coming ON
the date of Gen. Lees birthday, his
memory will be honored and in the
hall where the exercises of the tenn
pie are to be held will be a large por-
trait of the Southern chieftain. This
portrait is taken from a photograph
of General Lee which was sent per-
sonally to the father of r. Lee Wylly.
together with letter of appreciation
for the fact that his son was named
for him, This letter and picture are
OF course among Mr.. WHY'S most val
ued possessions and the letter will be
read at the meeting next Wednesday.

Cazaanza Seems Responsible.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IA
mass of evidence collected by state de-
partment agents at FL Paso during
the past 72 hours and received here
today, indicates the Carranza author
tiles at Chihuahua are at least partly
responsible for the murder of eigh-
teen American by bandits near San
1sable last Thursday.
Authorities of the de facto govern
ment at Chihuahua, according to most
recent reliable information, assured
C. r. Watson, who headed the party
of Americans, that no military escort
was necessary to protect them n
taeir journey, as the country had been
shortly before cleared of outlaws. This
was done after the suggestion had
been advanced that troop of cavalry
should be detailed to accompany the
party, but before leaving Chihuahua,
several of the Americans assented to
the opinion expressed by Carranzaists
that such an escort would be unnec-

SIX THOUSAND ARE
IN STRIKE IN PENN.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 17.-Six
thousand garment workers, a major.
ity of whom are women and girls, to-
day went on a strike for higher wages
ard better working conditions. The
strikers are all members of the Unit
ed Garment Workers of America, an
organization affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, and which
numbers millions of workers within
its ranks.
AS a result of the strike two hun
dred and fifty Of Philadelphia's cloak
ard suit factories are idle today, with
no indication when work will be re
sumed. Thousands of buyers repre-.
senting Southern and Western houses
are here now, placing orders for
garments to be delivered for spring
trade, and the big strike will likely
interfere seriously with the delivery
OF these orders. Probably a thousand
workers in other departments have
been thrown out of employment as a
result of the Inauguration of the strike
and because of the severity of pre-
vailing weather it is feared much suf-
fering will result.

THE BOND ISSUE
BELIEVED To BE
BEST PLAN NOW

All Americas is discussing the pro-
posed bond issue of $4,000 by the
city for street work and improve
ments, in order to assist the financial
condition of the city and make it pos
sible for the large floating indebted
ness to be cut down and the city there
by save large sum of money through
interest which they are now paying.
Many prominent citizens have COM
mented on the plan and it's good eff
feet since the publication of the story
in the Sunday issue of the Times-Re-
corder.
The Mayor and City Council will act
on the request of the citizens meeting
at their next regular meeting which
is Tuesday night, January 25th, and
it is confidently expected that they
win ratify the plan and call an cleo
ton for the people to decide the pro-
posed bond issue.
1t is fully apparent that some &C
ton must be taken to Immediately
remedy the financial affairs of the city.
A large floating Indebtedness faces the
city with no other avenue open for
its payment except the issuance
bends and the money now derived
from taxation be devoted to the pay
ment of the old debts.
