GOOD CROWD HEARD
HARDWICK ADDRESS
HERE THIS MORNING

AMERICUS, Ga, July 26.-Spec!al
Probably two hundred and fifty per-
sons heard Thomas W. Hardwick
Junior United States senator from
Georgia, deliver a political address
here this morning. One third of his
hearers were negroes, but there were
several persons of prominence in the
assemblage, and the speaker drew
applause at occasional intervals.
Thomas G. Hudson introduced Sen
ator Hardwick, by courtesy, as fol-
lows:
This is one time when the intro
Queer is not going to make the
speech We have with us United
States Senator Thomas w Hardwick,
of Washington county, who will now
address you"
The speakers address followed the
usual course of his remarks during
the present campaign, consisting OF
a bitter denuncation of the newspa-
uers, who he accused of calumnating
him, because of his support of the
increased postage bill He used the
'lie" frequently and asserted that the
newspapers of Georgia would pay
eleven million dollars in increased
postage as result TO the higher levy
imposed by the bill. This, he said
is the basis of the newspapers op-
position to his candidacy. He defend
Cd his record, including his stand
against CONSUMPTION.
i A notable feature of the address
was that he mentioned both Harris
and Howard of the opposition candi-
dates, but failed to refer at any time
to either Shaw or Cooper.

STRAW VOTE SHOWS
HARRIS LEADS 6 TO |

AMERICUS, Ga, July 26.-Speciai
The old-fashioned "straw-vote" has
come into use again, and used at the
Windsor this morning demonstrated
that William J. Harris leads in the
race for United States senator six
to one over Thomas w. Hardwick,
who spoke here this morning. The
straw vote was taken by noE-res-
:dent travelling man who suggested
the same without knowledge con-
corning the political attitude Of those
present W. T. McMath, who is gen
orally looked upon as the Hardwick
manager in Sumter county, was pres
cnt and was the only man who cast
his vote for Hardwick. Of the nine
men polled, Messrs. F. G. Campbell,
L. S. Tower, A. C. Crockett and W..
a.. Dodson, of Americas, and two
travelling men whose names were not
secured by The Times Recorder's in
f9rmant voted for Harris, Will
Messrs. P. B Williford and F. w.
Griffin, of Americas, declined to com
MT themselves, and Mr.. McMath ia
yored Hardwick. Thus the poll show
ed those present committed as fol-
lows: Harris, 6; Hardwick, /; Neu-

fleets accurately the political senti-
ment in the county as regards the
race for senator.

TIES WILL COOPERATE In EFF.
FORT AT AMERICUS.

AMERICUS, Ga, July 26.-Special
George O. Marshall, county farm
demonstration agent here, announced
today that he had received assurances
of complete cooperation by federal
authorities in the effort to establish a
farm labor bureau at Americas, and
the opening of this Office it is expect
ed will occur at an early date.
Only a few details of the plan re-
main to be consummated and it is said
these have already been approved by
municipal officials here and need only
to be formally ratified by City Coun-
Gil and the Chamber of Commerce be-
fore being put into execution. 1t is
planned to locate the office of the bu-
reau in the city hall building where a,
young lady, whose salary will be paid
by the federal authorities, will Civ
her entire time and attention to the
conduct of the bureaus affairs. The
necessary furniture for outftting the
Office, such as desks, files, typewrit-
err, etc., are yet to be secured, and the
Chamber of Commerce will be asked
at it's next meeting to provide these.
With the establishment of this bu-
lear, it is said, every employer will
receive adequate protection in the pos
session Ct his labor. and no labor will
be taken from this county for work
c1t government construction any
where il this county except such as
where it is absolutely necessary 10
rave Even in instances where urgent
necessity makes it imperative to draft
labor for government work, the draft
will be equitably divided amons
those communities having farm labor
bureaus after the supply from SOCIAL
ed free communities has been ex-
hausted. George o. Marshall, county
farm demonstration agent here, who
has worked steadfastly to secure this
bureau for Americas, is enthusiastic
over the prospect of its early estab-
lishment, and said today he had every
reason to believe it means SUD
stantial advantage to Sumter coun-
ty farmers.

German crown prince has Suddenly
changed his plans for a strategic re-
treat in the Soissons-Rheims salient,

This decision is indicated by the

such a huge retirement, forced a
change in plans.
