EDWARDS AGAIN

Americus Barber Shop
Man Fails To Win

J. Fred Edwards, proprietor of a
barber shop on West Lamar street,
has been found guilty for the second
time of killing his first wife in Tai

recommendation of mercy, being re
turned there Saturday afternoon.
The following dispatch from Talbot
ton tells the case.
Guilty with recommendation to
mercy was the verdict returned in
Talbot Superior court for j. Fred
Edwards, on trial since Thursday on
a charge of killing his wife. The de-
fendant was given life sentence.
The same sentence was imposed at his
first trial last March. Motion for a
new trial was field by the attorneys
representing Edwards, and it will be
heard by Judge W. NJ. Harwell at
cambridge, November 8.
"The jury deliberated an hour and
a half before reaching a verdict.
"That his first wife committed sui
eide was the defense set up by ed
wards, who since his wife's death here
few months ago has married. Ed
wards went to Americus, where he
was employed when grand jury in
dicted him on a charge of murder"
Edwards wife died last summer.

a wealthy widow and the two came to

JUDGE REYNOLDS
TELLS AMERICUS
OF WORK OF S.A.

81 can't tell you today our plan,
but it will be developed within the
next three days. Watch your local
paper for news of the progress we are
making"
This was the information given
yesterday by Rev. Firley Baum, bus
mess agent for the Salvation Army
headquarters, at public meeting at
the First Methodist church of citizens
interested in the Salvation Army tax
ing over the Y. M. C. A. property. 1t
was not a large meeting, not more
than 200 or 800 being present, but it
was an interested audience.
The meeting was called primarily
for the purpose of hearing Judge Jos.
S. Reynolds, of Atlanta, tell of the
work of the Salvation Army-what it
has done and what it can be expected
to do in Sumter county. Judge Rey-
nolds was formerly solicitor general
of the Augusta circuit, and in that po
sition he frequently came in contact
with the work of the Salvation Army
among the more unfortunate. He
spoke for more than As minutes, his
talk being made up almost entireyl of
incidents that had come under his
observation.
He asserted that all of the funds
collected for the Salvation Army ev-
erywhere, except a very small por-
tion, are spent in the locality where
they originate. A very meager por-
tion goes to support the headquarters,
he said. And to show what little of
the money collected went into sala-
ries of the workers, he divulged that
the captains receive a wage of $40.
$10.25 each per week per family
that if there is more than one captain
in a family only one captains salary
is drawn. Brigadier Crawford's sal
airy, said he, is only S16.50 per week.
Brigadier Crawford has charge of the
work in four states Of the Southeast,
"and he is man capable of running
a big city or a railroad system" said
Judge Reynolds. "These workers are
paid salaries purposely low to keep
them on an economic level with the
people they work among, so that 4hey
may realize their sufferings," said he
Rev. Mr.. Baum thanked the exec
utive committee of the Y. M. c. A.

STREET STRIKE
Still. ON; BOTH
SIDES UNMOVED
Effort Begun BY Ansley
To Recruit New
Force

Both sides in the strike of negro
| workmen in the city street depart
ment were standing pat" today,
while rubbish accumulated in the
streets and garbage cans stood un-
emptied throughout the city. Only
even of the 35 men in the department
appeared for work this morning, and
City Superintendent John B. Ansley,
who has charge of the street depart
ment with other duties, declared their
positions vacant and started out to
recruit a new force. He said he ex-
pected to have the places all filled
within day or two, as there had been
a number of applications recently for
jobs in the department.
"Dick" Heidi, street overseer, and
Mr.. Ansley, who were in disagree
ment in statements quoted in The
Times-Recorder Sunday as to the
hours the men had been working, had
a sharp controversy in Mr.. Ansley's
office this morning, following which
Mr.. Heidi left the superintendent
office and took up his headquarters
downstairs with the firemen. 1t was
Mr.. Ansley's contention that the men
had hnnTo oaancfoYaaA 10 q
a. m. to 6 p. m. during the summer
months, with an hour off for dinner,
giving IL hours of work, which was
balanced by shorter day during the
winter, when daylight hours are
shorter. He charged that Mr.. Heidi
had shortened their work day an
hour, without his knowledge, the men
to come on duty at 7 "a. M, instead
of 6 o'clock. Mr. Heidi disputed,
and in proof today produced the de-
partment time books for the last
two years showing that the men had
been accustomed to work 10 hours
day before he took charge as over
seer on October 27 last. Asked if he
iIelu SuCWU bHSSC OOOhS TO NlG. A0SlGX,
he said Mr.. Ansley would not look
at them.
Il am sure the men would not have
struck and we would not have had
this trouble had they not been en-
couraged," said Mr.. Ansley. when
they called on me Saturday and
called to their attention that the
city's hours had formerly been from
6 to 6 O'Clock, they all agreed that
was true, and l am sure not more
than two or three Of leaders, at the
most, would have quit I had no in
timation at that time that they were
going to walk out, and / do not be-
lieve they would have done so had
they been properly handled, instead
of being encouraged to quit.

THAD REESE, AT
HOME, Tells OF
BATTLE SCENES

Thad B. Reese, sixteen months an
able seaman in Uncle Sans navy,
and engaged all the while in transport
service, has just returned home, the
happiest man in the reserve service,
and full of enthusiasm reused by his
experiences abroad. He crossed the
broad Atlantic, perhaps, more than
any other Americus lad engaged in
the naval service during the war, and
saw several of the noted battlefields
of northern France and Flanders. In
Belleau Wood, where thousands of
brave American boys made the su-
preme sacrifice, Reese says the rest
ing place of these patriotic dead are
already well marked and in charge
of military guard, who will look
after the sacred soil until this gov
ernment has arranged to permanently
mark the spot with a substantial and
enduring monument.
'In the Belleau Wood cemetery"
Reese said today, thousands of our
boys lay buried, and with that democ-
racy cf spirit that marked the course
of this government throughout the
war no distinction has been made l..
@ burial of enlisted men AMI the
officers. These men are all heroes IN
the eyes of the French people. ar!
their graves will be kept by French
mrl as their memory is reyercd ~
patriots in this country.
"Navy officials were induiGcnt in
permitting the boys of the service
opportunity to visit spots of interest
abroad, and l was able to sec many
places of great interest there. The
great cathedral at Rheims. once one
of the worlds greatest architectural
beauties is a mass of ruins, and visit
there is both instructive and interest
ing. While there I talked with one
of the priests who was in charge Of /
the edifce throughout all of the ter
rife bombardments heaped upon the
structure by the Boche, and he told
me the assertions of the Boche that
towers of the edifce had been used
for observation purposes are abso-
lutely untrue.

and statuary which once adroned the
cathedral has been destroyed, but a

TWO RUNS MADE TO
FIRE IN NEGRO HOME

The fire department paid two calls
last night to a negro house on New
street, near the Tennessee Chemical
company's plant, and at about 9 p.
m. and the other at $3.50 a. m. The
house, built in three sections, is oc-
cupied by Frank Myers, and when the
department paid its first call the roof
was ablaze. The fire apparently was
quickly eXtinguished, but early this
morning broke out anew and caused
another run. The damage was small
and limited to the roof w. P. Wal
lis owner of the house, was so
pleased with the work of the fire
men that he sent them cigars all
