the first subject, pictorial represent

spector drawing and design are
studied, through the mediums OF pen

The work in design is made appli-
embroidery. The subject Of en-
5roidery fills the need OF applied de-
sign and development Of skill in a
craft requiring simple familiar equip

SHERIFF HARVEY CAUSES STRONG
MEN TO BREAK DOWN AND CRY
WHEN HE ABSOLUTELY RUINS
THIS LIQUOR

Forty-four quarts of perfectly good
whiskey were utterly destroyed by
Sheriff Harvey this morning, in the
rear of the courthouse.
In the assortment were eight quarts
oe Haig and Haig Scotch, IL quarts
Lewis 66, IL quarts Monticello rye,
four quarts of corn, four quarts of
martini cocktail, and four quarts of
gin.
This liquor was seized recently by
Policement Pouncey and Rigsby when
Edward Bleakley, negro stepped off
the Seminole train with three heavi-
ly-loaded suitcases. The suitcases are
still in the possession of the sheriff
and will be sold at publis outcry, when
the court issues the proper order.
When the sheriff was sending tho
whiskies to oblivion, several men were
observed to stand around, with faces
covered and hats off. weeping like
children The sheriff, however, had
grim smile on his face, and seemed
tc enjoy the performance.

AMERICUS RED
CROSS CAMPAIGN
CLOSES TONIGHT
INDICATIONS ARE THAT DRICE
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL-HUN-
DREDS OF SERVICE FLAGS TO BE
DISPLAYED TONIGHT.

Ali reports not being in at the hour
OF going to press, the exact result OF
tie Red Cross membership drive,
which has been conducted in Ameri-
Gus during the past week, and closes
tonight, can not be given. However,
the Campaign committee is very hope
full of reaching their allotment before
30 tonight, the time set for the close
OF the campaign.
The number of members expected
from Americus and Sumter county,
Including the local chapters branch at
Fllayille, was 1900. OF this number,
the Americus chapter undertook to
obtain 1000, the remaining 500 mem
bers being divided among the four
branches at Plains, Ellaville, Leslie
and Cobb. Due to their delay in be-
ginning the drive, it is probable the
campaign with the branches will not
close until Wednesday or Thursday Of
this week, by which time they have
assured the chapter officers here they
will each have secured their part of
the allotment.
And it is likely that in case the 1000
is not obtained in Americus by 7:90
tonight that further effort will be
raade by the campaign committee the
latter part of this week; those in
charge being determined not to stop
until the total of 1900 members is
reached. At the time of going to
press the committee reported that they
had passed the 900 mark and were
gradually climbing every minute; and
requested the announcement that any
person desiring to join should phone
in their name to Miss Sarah Cobb, at
Phone 191 by or before 1880 o'clock.
Hundreds of Red Cross service flags
are seen about the city on the win
dows of the homes and business houses
and at 7:30 tonight lighted candle
will be placed behind each flag, to
burn until O'Clock.
