HARDW|Ck TAKES A
LICkAT Mr.. HUGHES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 15.-
Senator Thomas w. Hardwick, of
Georgia, speaking before the senate
to-day charged Charles E. Hughes, pres
idential candidate of the republicans
and former justice of the supreme
court, with attempting to stir up pas
sion and prejudice against the South.
Senator Hardwick's assertion was
prompted by Hughes speech delivered
recently at Butte, Mont, in which the
republican standard bearer said South
crners dominated congress and all of
the congressional committees
The Georgia senator, in the course
Of his address, deplored Hughes
statement, saying that committee
chairmanships are attained through
seniority, fact with which Hughes
should be well acquainted. He de-
nounced as unworthy to occupy the

announcement which suspends the or
ders of the war department for the
movement of all modified units of the
National Guards towards the border.
1t was confidently expected in Ameri-
Gus. and by soldiers visiting here from
Camp Harris. that the orders for the
moving of Georgia troops would come
in few days. and the actual movement
be under way.
The suspension order deters the
Georgia troops in their expected hike
towards the border.

CITIZENS HELP.
FOR VETERANS.

The committee of the Daughters of
Confederacy in charge of securing
homes for the Confederate Veterans
who will attend the state reunion here
on August oath and 25th, has requested
the Times-Recorder to aid in the mat
ter, and urge the people of the city to
open their homes to these heroes of
the COS who will be the guests of
Americus. and for the last ime possi-
bly, that reunion will be held
here.
One of the ladies prominent in the
campaign for homes has stated that
some of the people of the city who it
was thought would be the first to as
sist have failed to respond to the call
for homes for the veterans.
Americas has a duty to perform,
which should be an honor. These grey
warriors are anticipating the grandest
time in their lives on their visit to
this city. Chairman H. E. Allen and
Commander E. A. Nisbet expect be-
tween 500 and 500 veterans to attend
the reunion.
The committees request that the peo-
pie 'phone the ladies assigned to their
section of the city, stating the number
of veterans which they will enter
tain. The matter is urgent, because
Of the closeness of the reunion.
The Times-Recorder joins heartily in
the movement. It urges the people to
respond to this worthy call.

GASOLINE TRUST
HOLDS SWAY HERE
As EVERYWHERE

Americus is chafing under a similar
complaint to Atlanta in the matter a.
gasoline. The difference is thaa ar
cut has been made recently By TIM
retailers, and for this reason each ae
the three companies represented here
furnish gas without any restrirtiuns.
The price to the public dropped tn
25e last week, making reduction OF II
rer gallon. In some quarters 1T IL
limited that further reduction is HE.
ly to come.
But Americus has the same erm
plant as Atlanta in the matter al
price She is paying 25c for gasoline
while other cities of other states are
paying less for the life of the hazz-
wagon.
Atlanta centered an attack in eas
strength of the combine on bas0lRma
and they won the fight through the as
sistance of William ]. Harris. OF Gean-
gia, member of the Federal Trade
