AMERICUS PARTY
TO MEET. FLYING
HEADS IN MACON

In order that the interests of Am
ericus may be properly safeguarded
in matters relating to the air SER
vice, a party of citizens, composed of
as many men as will leave their bust
ness for the day and make the trip,
participate in the Southeastern Aero
nautical congress, which opened there
Saturday morning The party will in
clude Joseph Perkins, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, who will
be prepared to remain for several
days, at least.
A number of the chief officers of
the air service, from Washington, are
attending this aeronautical congress,
and the Americas men Will take the
opportunity their proximity offers to
become acquainted with them and
show them the deep interest
taken by the Americus and
Sumter county in the loca-
ton here of Souther Field and the
supply depot, at the same time i'm
pressing up on the the desires the
people here entertain for an early re-
sumption of aerial training at Souther
Field on a large scale.
The aeronautical congress is especial
ly interesting to Americus because
Souther Field is participating in it to
a generous extent. Several airmen
from this camp are assisting in the
aerial exhibitions, and several air
planes from here are on display there.
To Lieut.. W. B. Warde, of Souther
Field, goes the honor of plotting the
first y. S. mail airplane ever flown
in the southeast, he flying Saturday
from Macon to Montgomery on the
first of the daily air mail trips to be
made between these cities during the
congress. While other officers flew
from Montgomery to Macon, their
start was made later than Lieut..
Warde's.
The mail flight from Montgomery to
Macon was made by Col. Cook, com
manding officer Montgomery accom-
. panied by Lieut.. Frazier. They used
a slow ship and stopped over at
Souther Field shortly after noon for
supplies.
Lieut. McRae flew to Macon Satur-
day morning with the hospital ship,
an airplane belonging to Souther
Field which is equipped with a
stretcher in place of rear seat for
use in emergencies. 1t has been put
on exhibition on the ground there.

Vote For Return.
After a delightful prelude of music
by the Metropolitan Quartette Friday
night, Colonel George Ellis, at the
request of those wishing "a return, and
at the request of the chautauqua. took
charge of the gathering for a few min
utes. He asked for vote by the
audience as to whether Redpath
should return in 1920. Almost every
one stood Guarantors were then call
ed for, and several men responded, the
list being completed Saturday.
Alton Packard, entertainer--cl clever,
versatile and accommodating with
song, story and crayon, gave most
delightful evening to a tent almost
filled to capacity.
The little fellow of 8 years laughed
till his sides ached. Old men guffaw-

giggle, and just joined The crowd in
one continuous roar. 1t was a night
&c good, wholesome fun AMI joy; one
of those nights that cause old men to
feel young, and the young to forget
all else, except that the world is
good place to be.
ClamOr For More.
Mr. Packard's stories of Uncle Sam
and his people, illustrated in crayons
gave a new twist to an old perform
ance. His songs at the piano were
original and verse after verse came as
the audience clamored for more.
An appeal was made by Mr.. Pack
ard that we render unto Liberty the
things that were liberty's, and the
beautiful crayon picture of the little
cabin on the hill at sunset, delighted
all.

OF BOND QUOTA;
TO KEEP AT IT

Here's another alien-born Am
erican who has put to shame by
his works the boast of patriotism
of many a native born American.
One of the lady Victory loan can
vassers reported Saturday that
Mitchell Attyah, a Greek merch-
ant of Forsyth street, had pur-
chased a $1,000 Victory bond. He
subscribed for $500 in bonds of
the Fourth loan.
Americus times-recorder., 1919-05-04

Sumter county has not yet gone
over the top with the Victory loan;
but she's going over the top. l have
faith in the people that they will do
their duty when their government
calls. We MUST raise our quota. We
are going after it again; AND WE
ARE GOING TO GET IT"
That's the way Chairman Ellis,
head of the loan organization for Sum-
ter county expressed himself Satur-
day in answering query as to what
Sumter had done in the drive that
was started Friday
Il haven't been able to get reports
from all of the committees" said he,
but those that l have received re-
ports from show a tGtal of only $102,-
450 subscribed of quota of $685.
$50 This is entirely from Americus
with the exception of one ladies' COM
mittee at Plains which reported $2,-
somewhat chagrinned at this showing
because people ought not to have to
be urge to do their duty or to wait
to be asked to make an exhibition
of their patriotism when it comes to a
test, but workers who have partici-
pated in previous loans say this start
means that we will make our quota,
so perhaps it looks worse to me than
it really is.
80 our work will go on. Monday l
shall call another meeting of our com
mittees and we'll go right to it again,
and keep at it until the quota is pass
ed. 1t is our job and we must perform
it-and we're going to perform it,
AVIAT0RS THRILL
PUPILS AT PLAINS.
PLAINS, May 3.-Two airplanes Wis
tied Plains Friday at II a. m. in the
interest of the Victory loan. The
school was in session but the chill
dren easily caught ire sound of the
approaching planes. At first the
teachers grimly refused to give any
permission to the children to go to
the windows or to see the planes at
all. But soon it was very evident that
an unusual occasion was at hand. Sig
nails were given othe children by all
the teachers to line up and march out
doors almost simultaneously. In a few
minutes the school campus was filled
with throng of young spectators.
The airplanes gratified the boys and
girls to the fullest extent by every
