Coupon Changes Date.
The coupons good for votes, that
have been printed in the paper daily
since the announcement of the cam
paign, are good for votes if they are
mailed or sent to this office by Satur-
day night, at 10 o'clock. The Office
will be open until that time for the
purpose of receiving the coupon vote,
receiving payment for subscriptions
and to receive the ladies and their
friends who are interested in the
prizes offered. The big array of
prizes will all be on display by that
time, it is expected, and the public
generally is invited to inspect them
and cast their votes for some of the
ladies who have been nominated.
The series of coupons that are run
ming in today's paper and which will

The contestants and their friends
who reside at points out of Americus

FLINT BRIDGE IS
MADE FREE BY
AGREEMENT OF
COUNTY BOARDS
Toll Plan Revoked When Sumter ard
DooIy Commissioners Meet
at Structure

The new Flint river bridge, the
largest concrete structure in Georgia,
which will soon be opened to traffic,
will be a free bridge.
This was decided at joint meeting
at the bridge Tuesday afternoon of
the boards of Dooly and Sumter coun-
ty. The agreement was unanimous,
and it was understood that the action
would be formally ratified by each
board at its next regular meeting.
The original agreement to make the
bridge a toll structure resulted from
a proposal by the Dooly commission
ers. The Sumter board, it was said,
has always preferred making it free
bridge, but acceded to the wishes of
the Dooly board, it being pointed out
that the tolls would pay for the struc-
ture within few year" Recently
however, sentiment in Dooly has un-
dergone "a change, and the commits
sioners few days ago went before the
grand jury for consultation on the sub
ject. The grand jury went on record
unanimously for making it a free
bridge, following which the commits
sioners proposed to the Sumter board
that the previous contract between the
counties be modified in this respect.
At the meeting between the two
boards it was agreed to hold a cele-
bration at the bridge when it is form
ally opened, but the details were not
fixed, as the date is uncertain. 1t was
said the bridge is now entirely COM
pleted, except for surfacing, and that
a carload of tar to be used for this
purpose has been lost in transit. The
last of the concrete work was finished
Tuesday.

TO OPEN RHINE
AND KIELCANAL
TO ALL NATIONS

PARIS, March 12.-(By Associated
Press. Recommendation that the
navigation of the Rhine be opened to
all nations without discrimination was
made in report to the peace confer
ence today by the commission on the
international regime OF waterways,
railways, ports. 1t was suggested that
the Rhine be controlled by commits
sion similar to the Danube commits
sion.
The status of the Kiel canal has
been settled by the commission on a
basis of freedom of use for all nations
for merchant vessels and warships in
time of peace. The canal would con-
tinue under German ownership and
operation.

Votes have been coming in to the
campaign department of The Times
Recorder for the big subscription drive
from many sources. The coupon good
for votes is playing the greatest part
at this time in the building of stand
ings for the several ladies who have
been nominated, but number of sub
scriptions have been paid and this
vote also recorded. The vote is so
large for paid subscriptions that those
who pay want to place their votes to
the credit of the nominee who intends
to be active in the campaign. There
are many who have said they would
take part, allowing their names to re-
main in the list, and that they would
ask the cooperation of their friends in
having votes saved and turned in for
them.
The big drive is not a soliciting or
canvass" proposition, for the major
ity OF the votes Will come from the
patrons of the paper and through their
influence, to a large extent, new sub
scribers will be added and the vote
given their friends. The campaign is
cooperative affair and is for all the
people who have at heart the building
of a better neWspaper for AmericuS
and this locality, for a better paper, a
more readable paper, means more
trade here, more everything that is
enterprising and substantial.

Legislature of
Texas Backing
Cut in Cotton

The farmers of Georgia need
worry no longer about what Texas
is going to do this year in cotton
planting. At the New Orleans
meeting few weeks ago the Texas
delegates assured the representa-
tives of the other states that the
Texas farmers were reducing
their acreage, and now comes
news that the acreage reduction
movement has the official endorse
ment of the Texas Legislature.
This information was conveyed in
telegram received last evening
by John M. Council, from Fred W.
Davis, commissioner of agriculture
of Texas, which follows:
AUSTIN, Tex, March 11.-John
M. Council, Americus, Ga.-House
and senate passed resolutions
unanimously endorsing cotton
acreage. Fred W. Davis"
The reported action of the Texas
senate two weeks ago in refusing
to endorse the acreage reduction
movement was explained subse-
quntly as merely failure of the
senate at that time to take action,
probably due to some parliament
ary obstruction. 1t is said that the
Texas farmers are holding as
much cotton in proportion as those
in Georgia, and are as vitally in
terested in the success of the
movement, for the reason that
they are not as we'll equipped with
warehouses for holding their crop.

AS Souther Field is the only
flying field in Georgia, this means
that it is not to be abandoned.

kilograms were sent by the Cham
Der of Commerce, through Joseph Per-
kins, secretary, this afternoon to Sena-
tors Hoke Smith and w. J. Harris, in
Washington, following publication of
the news that only two aviation camps
in the United States would be retained
in active service, asking them to urge
with the proper authorities the claim
of Americus that Southe Field
be designated as one of those two
fields.
"The news, which was contained in
last nights Associated Press dis
patches from Washington, follows:
"Coincident with the announcement
today that Maj.-Gen. VIM. L. KenIy,
had been replaced as director of mill
tary aeronautics of the army by Brig
Gen. VIM. M. Mitchell, it was learned,
orders have been issued for the ces-
satiOn of aviation training at all fields
in the United States, except two, to be
designated by Maj.-Gen. Charles T.
IVAN AAOIOi, ilCSCOl VI lhS dlI SOINICS.
These instructions take effect March
Is, and thereafter the work done at
other fields than the two to be select
ed will have to do only with the stor-
age and maintenance of equipment
General Menoher has not yet des-
ignated the fields at which training for
the air service is to continue and off
GERS had no suggestions to make as to
his probable selections. Including nu-
merous fields, about 80 aviation fields
and centers were in operation during
the war. In selecting two of these it
was said General Menoher undoubtedly
would be influenced by year-round
conditions. This would imply the Sc
lection OF some of the Southern fields.
This news was taken in Americus to
be only more complete announce
ment of the policy announced here
Monday, under which orders were is
sued reducing Souther and other fields
to 65 enlisted men, effective March 81,
and was not believed to have any con-
nection with the order signed in Wash
ington more than week ago designat-
ing Souther as one of the six fields to
be retained by the general staff, by
recommendation of the Aircraft board.
