HARDWICK MAY
ANSWER WALKER
Expected to Make New
Reply in Speech Here
Tonight

1t was stated today that DIR. B. F.
Bond, county health commissioner,
would introduce Former Senator
Thomas w. Hardwick when he ap-
pears at the court house at 8 o'clock
tonight for speech in the interest of
his campaign for governor of Geor-
gia. No seats will be placed on the
platform with the speaker, as is Gus
tomary in political campaigns, there
being no formal Hardwick organiza-
ton here.
Mr.. Hardwick is expected to draw
a capacity house because of the inter-
est that is being develored in the
campaign and the vigorous manner
in which the fight is being waged
among the various candidates. Mr..
Hardwick has been dealing vigorously
with his opponents, particularly Cliff
ford Walker, who is well known here,
and is expected to answer Mr.. Walk
er's latest attack on him which is
published in another column of this
paper. Both Mr.. Walker and John
Holder, the other two candidates, are
expected to speak in Americus later
in the campaign.
The entire court room, including
the balcony, will be reserved for
white people.

'MEANEST MAN
ROBS CORONER
Negro Held For Passing
Fake Bill on Blind
Official

The meanest man in Sumter county
if not in the world-was arrested
today and brought from Leslie by
Deputy Sheriff S. L. Cox.
His name is Charles Otis, alias
"Overall Charlie" and he is accused
of having passed a piece of ''wetted"
paper on Ed Jenkins, Sumter coun-
ty's blind coroner, for dollar bill.
And to make it worse, if possible,
he passed the "phoney" money on the
bind coroner Sunday and received
80 cents in perfectly good silver as
change.
The blind coroner conducts small
store at Leslie, and once before he
was victimized, but this time he
thinks he has the goods on the man
who flim-flammed him, though he
didn't see him when he did 1t

coroner mistook for real con # the

fully soaked in water, aud dried, ap-
paE Eently, through some rolling pro-
cess, which gave it touch exactly IKE
that of paper morcv.
Charlie says he didn't do it. If
he didn't, he isn't the meanest
man in the county. but if he did

he did-then ne will probably build
some miles of good roads in atone

JACKMAN, Me-, July 2O-Booze
is flowing through Maine like water
through a fire-hose.
And, of course, it's Canada's fault
because Canada grew so close to
Maine.
Maine is celebrating it's one hun
dredth birthday this year and the
celebration seems likely to continue
for long time unless the hootch sup
ply in Canada gives out.
Maine prospers. Tourists are thick
as ants. They're eating food grown
on the farms and washing it down
with Canadian hootch supplied by
the natives What could be more
nearly perfect?

good hotel ''The Moose River House."
Jackman is on the main automobile
road to Canada and the main line of
the Canadian Pacific, being the first
station this side of Hootchland. 1t
was Saturday night and the hotel was
jammed to the guards. Down the
street Jackman was enjoying itself in
the weekly dance. All was quiet and
lovely as the sun sank slowly be
hind the majestic pine trees of the
Maine woods.
''This is quiet place." said.

anything truer.
For, the sun down, a steady stream
of automobiles began to appear. One
after another the headlights flashed
and on and on they came, one whirl-
ing after another. From them came
no. noise but the whirring of motors.
"Must be meeting some place"

"Yeh," said the clerk. Meeting at
the Line House. The Modern and
Fraternal Order of Hootchseekers
meets there every night.
"And what's the Line House?"
queried.
"The first watering place on the
border" said he. Half of it is built
on the United States side. That

CUP CHALLENGER
SHAMROCK LEADS

First Over Line, She
Drops Back, Then
Forges Ahead

SANDY HOOK, N. Y, July 20
The challenger, Shamrock ", was
the first over the starting line in to-
days race for Americas cup, but her
ballooner wouldn't break and in five
minutes after the start the defender
Resolute had nearly caught the chal-
lenger, The challenger crossed at
12:15:48 and the Resolute at 1916:
26.
At 1922 the American defender
jumped into the lead and eight min
utes later had increased the lead to
200 yards.
Capt. Burton was again in charge
of the Upton boat.
At Ito the Shamrock took the lead
again. Both yachts had worked to
windward of the course to the first
mark. The Shamrock at 1870 was
leading the defender by more than
800 yards.

County's New Gravel
Loading Crane Here

A large loading crane purchased
some time ago by Sumter county,
has just arrived, and was being un-
loaded today. The crane, which will
be used to load trucks and unload
cars of paving material, will be
erected at the gravel and Stag pit at
the foot of Jacks street, and will
be used in the county's paving op-
erations. 1t has a capacity of 3-4
yard of material each "grab" and
is modern in every respect. 1t was
built at Erie, Pa, by the Bali En-
CINE company, and had been on the
road several weeks when 1t reached

PERKINS AGAIN
SECRETARY OF
LOCALCHAMBER
Accepts Offer of Place
When Oliver Asks
Release

The directors of the Americas and
Sumter County Chamber of Com
merce, with a full attendance, in
cluding the county members, except
R. S. Oliver, of Plains, and w. NJ.
Jones, of Americas, today re-elect-
ed Joseph Perkins secretary of that
organization, effective August /, for
one year. Mr.. Perkins had been ac-
ting secretary since j. G. Oliver was
named for that position several
months ago, and had before that been
secretary, the position which he has
again accepted. President Carr S.
Glover stated following the election
that Mr.. Perkins was again taking
up the work at a personal sacrifice,
the salary to be paid being consid-
erably less than what he would have
received in position he had been
rendered, but which would take him
out of Americus to reside. Mr.
Oliver recently asked to be relieved
of the secretaryship to accept a more
lucrative offer to enter business in
Athens.
With the election of Mr.. Perkins
as secretary, the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce Immediately
took up the proposition to hold a
fair in Americus this fall, and it was
decided to organize a permanent fair
association to handle the proposition.
This fair association, President
Glover said, will be incorporated i'm
mediately with a capital stock of
$25, 900, although only a portion of
this will be offered at this time. 1t
was decided that the fair should be
held this fall on the grounds at the
Third District Agricultural and Me-
chanical college here. and that $4,000
of stock in the fair association be
offered Americas merchants and
business men within the next thirty
days. Directors present at the meet
ing this morning subscribed $2,700
of this amount, their subscriptions
being made on the basis of the
amount of stock to be issued and
it being understood that they will
take additional stock when the re-
naming treasury stock is offered for
sale. Only business men will be
asked to subscribe to the first of.
fering of fair association stock. II
is announced that the balance of
the stock, $4,000, is to be sold later
and used to purchase permanent
fair grounds and erect buildings
thereon.
The directors of the chamber have
been working on the fair proposition
for some time, and have already OBJ
tanned options on several sites, though
none of these have yet been closed
The short time which elapses be-
tween now and the time for holding
the fair makes it necessary to use
the Third Aggie fair buildings, and
these can be put in good condition
at small expense, so the directors
will not definitely settle upon the per
manent fair site until after the 1920
fair has been held.
In purchasing the permanent fair
site, President Carr Glover said this
morning, the directors will have in
mind the need for a country club
and golf links at Americas, and it
is planned to acquire a tract which
will contain sufficient acreage to pro
vide these advantages, and a part
of the tract will be leased to per
sons who may be individually in
terested or to another organization.

The procession kept up. One would
have thought that someone had con-
ceived the idea of having all the cars
in the world meet at the Line House.
There was every imaginable make,
size, and variety. Counting as best l
could l totalled Sal cars in three
hours. In the meantime, the dance
over, all the male residents of Jack
man disappeared, following much
whispering, much talking of Canadian
French and much cranking of autos.
And then about midnight the cars
began to whiz past, going the other
direction. Only now from them came
the sounds of much merriment, much
laughter and most of them were driv-
en- recklessly and with cut-outs snort
ing.

"What for?" asked the clerk. "You

nights. The cars make too much
noise"
That was the most truthful clerk I
have ever met.

SUMNER SPORT" IN MAINE

IL would take nothing short of
an army to stop the flow of liquor
from Canada across the Maine bor-
der. The army that is now attempt
ing to stop it consists of one U. S.
customs official, an immigration
official, three or four helpers and
sheriff and deputy sheriff.
1t is estimated that places in
Canada on the Maine border are
selling $25O,00O worth of liquor a
month in Maine and New England
for nearly million dollars. One
shipment alone recently that met
with an i'll fate consisted of $14,-
900 worth of liquid joy. The cost
a case in Canada is $32. In New
England it is from $84 to S100.
And rum runners are cheerfully
paying fines of $1,000 without
