WHITE SOX AT HOME, TAKE THIRD
DR.. BURROWS
TOUCHED BY
HIGH HONORS

THE publication of the report of
= his illness having alarmed the
many friends of DIR. Lansing Bur
rows, who kept his telephone busy
last evening and today inquiring
about his condition, he called the
Times-Recorder this morning to
state that his condition was far
from alarming-in fact, it was
nothing but little cold," he
said. He admitted ne had two
calls from his physician yester-
day afternoon, but said it really
didn't amount to anything.
GAS to the heart ailment," said
he, 81 did have a touch of that. I
was much surprised to receive no
tice of my appointment as chap
lain general and colonel of the
Department of Tennessee, U. G. ",
a high honor which touched me
very deeply. That's the kind of
heart trouble l had. l hope to be
able to get out and go to Dillon
tomorrow on brief trip, and am
now planning on going to the re-
union at Atlanta next week"

26ONECROES ARE
ROUNDED UP IN
ARK. RACE WAF

HELENA, Ark, Oct. 3.-(By AS
sociated Press. Federal troops
from Camp Pike and local possemen
are on riot duty today at Elaine,
near here, where race disturbances
since Thursday have resulted in eigh-
teen known death.
Early today they prepared to
search for arms and ammunition Sc
creted by negroes in that section.
Announcement made at military head
quarters said about $50 rifles had
been taken from the negroes.
1t was believed today the worst
of the trouble was over,
The work of pacification was de-
clared well under way today in the
disturbed area.
Two negroes were shot and killed
today when they failed to obey a
command of the military patrol and
another negro was wounded.
SO far more than 260 negroes are

DIPPING
CASE ENDED BY
SLIP OF STATE.

Because one of the cattle dipping
inspectors for Sumter county did not
have his commission proving his ap-
pointment to the position with him.
a verdict of acquittal was directed
by Judge Harper in the City Court
of Americas late yesterday in favor
of J. M. Johnson, prominent far
mer living between Americus and
Leslie, who was on trial under an
indictment for misdemeanor for al
legged failure to dip his cattle ac-
cording to the law providing for cat
tie quarantine and tick eradication
The case, originally set in the Su-
perior court, had been transferred to
the City Court for disposition, and
was called yesterday afternoon.
The state presented only two wit
nesses, DR., w. D. Martin, government
veterinarian in charge of the cattle
dipping in this county, and J. j. John
son, an Inspector working under DR..
Martin. 1t was shown by these wit
nesses that Mr.. Johnson, the defend
ant, who has a large number of cat
tie, and on whose premises a dipping
vat had been constructed for his con-
venience, had failed to comply with,
the law requiring the dipping of all
cattle in the quarantine area. It
was brought out on cross eamxina-
ton by Attorneys Wallis and Fort.
who represented the defense, that
Inspector Johnson did not have his
commission as Inspector with him.
and therefore it could not be shown
legally that the defendant had ever
had proper notice to dip his cattle.
A motion to direct a verdict in IA
vor of the defendant was promptly
sustained by the court.
DR.. Martin, after the end of the
case, stated that he had cautioned
the inspector to have his commission,
with him at the trial and had been
assured that it was in his pocket. He
declared he was not through with the
fight, and that it was his intention to,
bring new charges against Mr. Johrl
son for failure to comply with the
dipping law.

PAVECRAWFORD,
NOTOCLETHORPE
SAYS WHEATLEY
Urges Council To Insist
On Change of High
way Route

Crawford Wheatley, who own con-
siderable property on the east side
of Americus in the immediate vicin-
ity of that portion of the Dixie high
way which it is proposed to pave at
once from the court house to Mayo
street, where federal aid will begin,
appeared before the city council last
night to ask the city, in joining the
county in doing the paving, to in
sist that the route of the highway
be not allowed to go up Oglethorpe
avenue, from Lamar street to the top
of Jackson hill, but instead Craw-
ford street be designated.
Mr.. Wheatley appeared half an
hour after R. L. Maynard, county
attorney, and Neill Ray, chairman
of the board of county commission
ers, had presented to the council the
proposal of the commissioners as pub
lished last monday, to begin this
pavement at once, on a $3.50 basis,
the city and county sharing the cost
equally. The route to be followed,
as recommended by the state engi-
neers because of the sharp turn on
Crawford street at Mayo, was down
Forsyth street to Lamar, then up
Oglethorpe avenue to Mayo.
Mr.. Wheatley told the council that
it would be mistake to pave Ogle-
thorpe avenue instead of Crawford
street, because of the heavy grade
on the former, and also because of
the character of the fronting proper
ty on each.
The grade on Oglethorpe ave-
nue., said Mr.. Wheatley, who, be.
sides being banker, is a civil engi-
neer of ability, ''is absolutely evo~--
slVe, and the cost of reducing it to
a decent grade would be prohibitive.
1t now is an or 9 per cent grade
and you can't reduce it to half that
to save your neck. Crawford street
is the logical route for this high
way to take. 1t is already on an
established grade, with only a 3 per
cent rise. | see that the plan is to
lay an 18foot pavement. With the
cost of grading Oglethorpe avenue
added to the money to be spent an
l8-foot pavement a 33-foot pavement
could be laid.
Another reason for choosing Craw-
ford street over Oglethorpe avenue
that the former will never be de-
veloped' and the latter will be short
ly, IN all probability. I know what
am saying, because I own consid-
cradle property on bo.h streets. L.
$50 feet on Oglethorpe avenue and
$500 feet on Crawford street. On
. Crawford street, the sidewalks are all
ready IN and some building is soon
to be done there. I trust that the
city Will consider this thoroughly be-
fore going into any paving agree
ment." "
Mr. Wheatley was told that the
county commissioners would meet
Monday, at which time the citv street
committee, to which the countv's
proposal had been referred, would al
so meet, and he was invited TO he
present and present his plea.

Americus on Eve of Great
Achievements, Council Is
Told by Chamber Officials

which to carry on its work its use
lulness to the community Is impair
ga. We are now passing through q
period that needs the united efforts
Vi every one. If we are to sleep
while other cities go ahead we will
Ion SINK below their level.
I'VE all read the editorial in the
local paper last night on the need
,.nu opportunity here for a packing
pant; how the location of such a
pant mere would save freight on
shipping our hogs away and shipping
the meat back TO US; how the loca-
uon here of such an enterprise would
provide work for considerable num-
DER OF men and furnish payroll as
a stabilizer to business here. But
without money, regardless of its un'
questioned value to the city, the
Chamber of Commerce cannot pro-
mote such an enterprise. Therefore
we have come to the city council for
a modest appropriation to aid in
carrying on this work. 1t is the peo-
pies money you as city officials, have
to spend, and when that money is
used to the peoples benefit it has
been used as they want it used"
Big Things Ahead.
President Sheffield was very mod
est about his part in the work of the
Chamber of Commerce" said Mr..
Dykes. "Mr. Sheffield has organized
the Chamber this year on a strictly
business basis and is putting his own
personal time and efforts, heart and
soul, into it. He is personally inves-
tigating it. He is personally investi-
eating every enterprise that might be
brought here or built up here. He is
taking nothing for granted, but is
going to the bottom of everything.
81 believe that the Chamber of
Commerce is right on the eve of
starting such developments around
here as have never before been
known. | believe we are going to get
into something that will wake Ameri-
Gus up, and Mr.. Sheffield, realizing
that fact, is looking into things him
self.
"It takes money to do things, and
we must have money. The people of
the city and county have not taken
the interest in the Chamber of Com
merce that they should. This in
cludes myself; I have not taken the
part that | should have taken. But
Mr., Sheffield got a pledge out of me
to follow him wherever he led this
year, and / am doing it.
Having had some experience in
city finances as a member of the
Board of Education, | realize what
the city administration is up against,
but | am positive that the city coun-
Gil could not contribute 5000 to more
advantage to the people of the city
and county, even if it were found
necessary to stint somewhere else"
Secretary Perkins spoke briefly on
the advantages of the Chamber to the
whole community, following which
Alderman Mashblrn moved to refer
the Chambers request to the finance
committee.
'The finance committee is ready to
report right now" said Chairman J.
E. Poole, "and recommends that the
request be granted"
However, upon recommendation of
the mayor, the report was withdrawn
and the matter went to the commit
tee for arranging details and for re-
mort at the next meeting.

industrial era; that we are face to
face with a period of advancement
the like of which the city has not
seen before was the message which
the Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce to the city
council last night, delivered through
its officers to the Mayor and City
Council in the council chamber. The
occasion was an appeal by the Cham
Der for continuation of the annual
appropriation of 5000 by the city to
the Chamber for assistance in carry
ing on the work which that body has
undertaken and so optimistic of the
future were the appeals that they
met with an immediate response from
the council and the money would
have been voted immediately had not
Mayor Sheppard suggested that the
request be referred to committee for

to how payment was desired, etc.
The Chamber of Commerce was
represented by President John Shelf

Morgan. Messrs Sheffield, Ellis,

All For The Community
eve come before this body" said
Mr.. Sheffield, in opening the speaking,
as officers and commissioners of the
Chamber of Commerce. Next to the
officers of the city government itself,
there is no more important body in
the community. Every minute of
time that we members and officers
give it, and every dollar we put into
it, go to the upbuilding and advance
ment of the community. We all give
to it in financial way, but still we
are short of its actual needs. We feel
that the city should assume a part in
carrying on this work, which is for
the good of the people as a whole,
and should continue to appropriate at
least sum equal to the 5000 which
has been given to the Chamber in the
preceding years.
Il feel that you city officials know
what the Chamber of Commerce is
and what it has been doing" said
Colonel Ellis in opening his brief talk
81 might mention, however, that it
was dhe to the activities of the Cham
Der of Commerce that the aviation
camp was located near Americas. This
is one achievement which, if the
Chamber had done nothing else, would
have richly repaid the citizens for
their time and money put into the or
ganization. But that is not all the
Chamber has done, and it is really
just beginning
Cross Roads Can Get Along.
"a cross roads can exist without
such body, but as city grows it
needs just such an organization-it
must have such an organization-to
look after the many important things
that arise from day today and would
go unattended to, to seize the op-
portunities that would otherwise go
by unnoticed because Of the truth of
the old saying that what is every
body's business is nobody's business.
"In these days of reconstruction it
behooves every individual to be alert

HAYAKAwA PLAYS PART
OF HOPELESS LOVER

"The Man Beneath" sessue Haya-
kawa's latest Haworth production
distributed by Exhibitors Mutual, is
a drama which emphasizes in a pow
erful way the ban of blood which
stands between the amalgamation Of
the eastern and western races.
Or. Cbindi Ashutor, famous
Hindu physician, falls In love with
Kate Erskine, a Scotch girl. Although
she really loves the Oriental, Kate
realizes that marriage would make
them both outcasts.
The final scene between the Hindu
and the Scotch girl, in which the
oriental comprehends that his love tx
hopeless, shows Hayakawa in one Of
those quiet and tensely emotional
scenes OF which he is master.
The photography and settings are
superb, while the story grips with It's
mystery and rapid sequence OF ac-
tion.
