J-B TEAM WILL MEET C. & A. INDIANS NEXT
 SUNDAY AFTERNOON

The Junction Briggs team and the c. & A. Indians will meet next Sun day in thei third schedule game of the local season. The game promises to be one of the hardest fought games of the season, as these two teams are now so close together in standing that it is creating considera- ble interest among the fans. The i'm portance of this game is enhanced by the fact that in the preceding game, the c. & A. tied with the Copper Queen for first place, with the June ton Briggs only one game behind.
 If the Junction team should emerge the victor, it will be tied with the Queen nine,, and should the Indians grab the session, they will continue as the league leaders, which position they have held for the past three weeks.
 Both managers and captains will put forward their best players in the effort to land the bacon. The teams are holding daily practices and are rounding out in good form. Captain Gait, of the Indians, is expected to use either Deardorff, or possibly Vote, who showed up so well as a relief pitcher. Delmasso will be on the mound for the Junction Briggs team. The c. & A. band will furnish music for the occasion.

WHITE DENIES A
TIP FROM COUNT
vDN BERNS1ORFF

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Ahchibhld
White, the New York fnancier whose
name was mentioned in previous testi-
mony before the house rules commit
tee by Thomas w. Lawson, testified
today in the leak" investigation here.
He denied emphatically that he had
received any advance information
from Ambassador Won Bernstorff, who
he admitted was his friend, or from
any German official regarding the
peace movement
He also denied that Thomas W. Law
son had suggested to him that the
stock market was already top heavy,
and that it was good time to get
all your friends into pool on the
suggestion of peace. White told his
questioners that he and Lawson talked
in general terms" during their var
ious meetings in New York about the
time the peace situation was big fac
tor in the stock market.
When asked if he did not consider
his conversation with Lawson equiva-
lent to full course in romantic liter
ature, White replied: Il didn't take
the conversation seriously"
Bernard Baruch, who contributed
$4,000 to the democratic campaign
fund, told the leak investigators that
his stock market profits between De-
cember 10th and December 23rd Iasi
toralled $476,168. Every cent of this
huge amount. Baruch told the commit.
tee, was due to his foresight in inter
pTeting the effect of the German Chan
cellor Won -Hollweg's ad-
dress before the reichstag and Lloyd
Georges speech in the British house
of commons. He denied receiving ad-
vance information of President Viii
sons peace message.

HAS NO FEAR
Of THE BOIL WEEV|L

Several of the farmers in and around
Plains raised hogs enough last year
to spare at a good price this year.
Last week there were two carloads
gotten together and shipped to the
White Packing Company, in Atlanta. 1t
is stated that a nice price was paid
for these hogs, and also that another
carload will probably be shipped from
Plains within the next week or ten
days.
DR.. S. P. Wise has recently shipped
a carload of beef cattle to Land &
Miller, at Columbus The farmers in
that section of the county are raising
cattle and hogs this year as they have
never done before, and they have been
putting in some fine blooded stock
also.
On the Seaboard Air Line tracks at
Plains Monday we're two cars, being
loaded with corn in the shuek for ship
ment to the Empire. Mills in Colum-
bus. 1t is stated on good authority
that this corn brought $100 bushei
f. o. b. Plains, in the shuck. 1t was
raised by farmers around Plains, and
rather forcibly the thrifty
OF farmers residing in that commun-
ity. They are all wide-awake, up-to-
dste, live-at-home farmers, and next
year will find them in good shape to
meet expected boil weevil ravages.
The shipment of hogs, cattle and corn
in carlots from Plains shows that
can be raised on the farm
besides cotton, and that farmers in
that section of the county are rapidly
availing themselves of the opportuni-
ties presented to forestall the boil
weevil before the insects gets in its
most deadly work

FOUR NEGROES To
PAY PENALTY FOR
MUROER Of FIVE

MINDEN, La, Jan. Colchester Ty-
son, Mark Peters, Larkin Stewart and
Anderson Heard, all negroes, were
convicted in circuit here today of muir
der, the first two being condemned to
death by hanging, while the others es-
capped with life sentences in the state
penitentiary.
The crime of which the five negroes
were convicted today, was one OF the
most heinous recorded in the history
OF Louisiana, and was committed last
December. Feeling ran high at the
time, and officers feared for a time
that the acucsed negroes would be
summarily dealt with, but this feeling
gradually subsided and the men were
speedily brought to trial. They were
convicted of numbering five members
of the family of John Nelson, re-
spectacle white farmer, residing near
Reeves, in this county. the motive of
the crime being robbery.

1853 MEMBERS IS
TOTAL Of SECOND
DAYS CAMPAIGN

Todays report at the luncheon for
the membership campaign committees
of the Chamber of Commerce showed
80 memberships secured in the two and
half hours work this morning by the
seven squads. This makes total
membership of 16S, together with yes
terday's work of 113 members.
In the 30 membership secured today
there were 80 enlistments of business
classification at SIS per year. There
were 16 new members in the profess
ional and individual class.
Quite large gathering formed the
luncheon party-and there they talked
and planned for Wednesdays last can
vas which will tell the story A goal
of 300 memberships has been set to
keep the Chamber of Commerce alive,
and without them the organization
might as well cease the attempts at
work.
There have been very few positive
declinations to join the Chamber of
Commerce. Some promises have been
made on conditions, and other people
have been absent from the city. The
memberships to be accepted by the
Chamber of Commerce will be clean
cut-without any conditions and
strings.
Possibly, of greatest interest to the
people of Americus will be the publi-
cation of the list of members secured
in the campaign which will comprise
the body of people determined to
work for Americus. 1t is expected
that the organization will then take
steps to work for those people who
are working for Americus-the town
they live in. The peoplewillbecarc-
fully classified, so that Americas can
move and have her being in an atmos-
phere of purity, so far as those people
are concerned who want to help.

SENATOR LEWIS IS
FOR OLD DOCTRINE

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 3d.
Senator j. Hamilton Lewis ofIllinois, to
day introduced a resolution in the SEN
ate expressing it to be the sense of the
body that President Wilson's recent
peace address does not propose any
abolition of the Monroe Doctrine, nor
does it propose any military aggression
by the United States.
After his resolution had been read
before the senate, and before it could
be referrd to a committee for action,
as would have been the usual proce-
dure, Senator Lewis requested that the
resolution be permittd to lie upon the
table, which was done. This permits
the calling up of the resolution for ac-
tion at any time by majority vote Of
the senate.

FIVE BOYS DIE FOR
EATING BAD CAKES

KANKAKE Ills, Jan. 30.-Breakfast
pancakes eaten yesterday caused the
death today of five boys of the Meints
family near here. The boys constituted
all the children of the household, and
their deaths are believed to have been
caused through the accidental mixing
of poison in the flour used to make
the pancakes.
Mrs. G. K. Meints, mother of the
FIVE victims, mixed the pancakes from
flour into which a quantity of ARSENAL
poison used by her husband in the
pursuit of taxidery, had previously
been mixed without her knowledge.
The fact that neither Meints or his wife
partook of the pancakes is the only
thing which prevented the deaths of
the whole family.
