Palmer Expected To Speak Here Thur
HEADQUARTERS
RECON- MENDS
AMERICUS DATE
Attorney General Ex-
pected To Follow
Senator Hoke Smith

Announcement was made today
that Attorney General Palmer, can
didate for the endorsement of Geor-
gia for the presidential nomination
on the Democratic ticket, would
probably speak in Americas on
Thursday of next week, the day fol-
lowing the appearance here of Sena-
tor Hoke Smith, Mr.. Palmer's chief
opponent in Georgia. The Palmer
state headquarters in Atlanta has
recommended that the attorney gem
eral speak here on that date, and
there was every indication today that
this recommendation would be car
ried out, although Mr.. Palmer had
not been personally heard from, in
asmuch as his time in Georgia will
be controlled by his state organiza-
ton.
Mayor j. E. Sheppard, of Ameri-
Gus, who is member Of the Georgia
Palmer organization, and his chief
spokesman here, was in telephone
communication this morning with the
Palmer headquarters in Atlanta con-
cerning the bringing of the attorney
general here. This afternoon he
confirmed the report that arrange
ments for a speech here on April 3
were in the making. The attorney
general is already billed for a speech
in Macon on the evening of April 8,
and it is the plan to bring him here
! for an address some time during the
day, early enough to permit of him
being taken to Macon, probably by
auto, in time for his evening speech
there.
1t is understood that the plan to
bring Mr.. Palmer to Americus for
speech developed following the an
nouncement in the Times-Recorder
yesterday of Senator Smiths ar
rangements to spend all of next Wed
nesday in Americus and deliver an
address at the court house at II am.
Senator Smiths visit here will follow
Immediately his speech in Macon. 1t
was stated however, that the proxi-
nifty of the dates was merely a Co
incident.
The coming to Americas of these
two rivals for the state delegation to
San Francisco means that Sumter
has again become the center of the
battle-ground in Georgia. On account
! of the keen interest that is being
taken in the campaign, and the sharp
lines of partisanship being drawn, it
is assured that both speakers will be
greeted by immense crowds.

KIWANISCLUB
STARTS WORK
FOR AMERICUS
New Civic Force Born
At First Luncheon Of
Organization

A new force for assisting in the
upbuilding of Americas and Sumter
county came into being today when
the newly organized Kiwanis Club,
with so charter members. held it's
first weekly luncheon in the private
dining room of the Windsor Hotel.
Forty men were present, all business
or professional men, representing
nearly all lines of endeavor. in the
city. 1t was spirited meeting, with
the entire membership showing an
eagerness to take advantage of the
opportunities of the club to get to-
gether, know each other better, and
to pull together for the good of the
community. The motto of the inter
national organization is eve Build"
and that appeared to be the aim and
ambition of every man present-help
build Americas and Sumter county.
1t being the first meeting of the
membership, Warren Kimsey, the
field representative, who has assist
ed in perfecting the LOCAL club eX-
planned the details of the organiza-
ton, reported a set of standardized
bylaws, which were adopted, and
pointed out, as a native of another
section of America and a man who
has travelled all over the country, of
the great opportunities in Georgia
for development, a work in which
such an organization as Kiwanis can
be of vital Importance.
Room for Work Here.
After each member had introduc-
ed himself by telling his name, his
business, and the name by which he
preferred to be known among his fell
4ow members, several brief talks were
made. Mayor J. E. Sheppard, who is
ce-president, was called on by Pres
ident Lewis Ellis. He declared Sum-
ter the best county in the best state
in the union, and Americus the best
town to be found anywhere, an ideal
place to rear ones family or to live.
He declared the growth of Americus,
however, had not been as satisfac-
tory as was to have been desired, and
suggested that a field of endeavor
for the club lay in bringing the best
people from elsewhere to live among
us-in making the town grow in a
desirable way.
Judge z. A. Littlejohn concurred
III Mr. Sheppard's praises of the
glories of Sumter county, but en-
phasized the needs of the spirit of
get-together on the part of the pro
gressive citizenship of the communi-
ty, and appealed for some real action
in behalf of progress.
Hollis Fort suggested that with 9
little more cooperative effort Amer
icus would stand abreast of any other
city in the state in a commercial way
He said Americus was city of gooe
homes because attention had beer
given to making good homes. If tbs
same effort were to be directed to-
ward commercial development, he
said, the city would soon achieve a!
great distinction in a commercial
way.
Officers Are Confirmed.

IN CALVARY
(According to Saint Luke)

iAccOfdlHg TO OdlilC Luke)
A ND when they came to the
"A place, which is called Cal
vary, where they crucified Him,
and the malefactors, one on the
right hand, and the other on the
left.
Then said Jesus, Father, for
give them; for they know not what
they do. And they parted His
raiment, and cast lots.
And the people stood behold
ing. And the rulers also with them
derided Him, saying, He saved
others; let Him save himself, if
He be Christ, the chosen of God.
And the soldiers also mocked
him, coming to Him, and offering
Him vinegar.
And it was about the sixth hour,
and there was a darkness over all
the earth until the ninth hour.
And the sun was darkened, and
the veil of the temple was rent in
the midst.
And when Jesus had cried with
a loud voice, He said, Father, into
thy hands l commend My spirit;
and having said thus, He gave up
the ghost.
Now when the centurion saw
what was done, He glorified God,
saying, certainly this was right
eous man.
And that day was the prepara
ton, and the Sabbath drew on
And the women also, which
came with Him from Galilee, fol-
lowed after, and beheld the sepul-
chre. and how His body was laid.

er; or as favoring such reservations
as indicated by the position of U. S.
Senator Hoke Smith.
Georgia's primary-this being the
first state to act--will have undoubt-
ed weight in the nation in determin-
ing the sentiment of a strong Dem
ocratic state on this important issue.
Georgia's decision will also have
weight at San Francisco in determin-
ing the platform of the party in the
coming national struggle.
Senator Smith declares unhesitat-
ingly that the national Democratic
administration has accomplished
many big constructive things for
which it should be commended and
to most of which, as his record shows,
he has given his hearty support. But
like many other big Democrats of the
country, and many voters particular
ly in his state and section, he be-
lieves that the treaty and the League
of Nations should carry reservations
which viii safeguard the sovereignty
of the United States.

j. S. STEEL co. GIVES
men RAISE IN PAY

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The Unitedi
States Steel Corporation yesterday an-'
nounced an increase of 10 per cent in
the wages of day 1aborers, effectivei
Feb. /, from $4.62 for a ten-hour day.,
including two hours overtime, to $5.OS.
1t is estimated that the number OF
common laborers is about 10000 OF
the total of 100000. z
On this basis the increase would ex-
pand the payroll of the corporations
by some $24,000,00O per year. which
is the equivalent of nearly per cent
on the common stock With the pres
ent increase included. the annual pay
roll will be brought up to level in
excess Of $475,000,000.
Ebert H. Gary, chairman, In state
ment announcing the rise said:
THE wage rates of day labor at this
manufacturing plants of the Steel
Corporation have been increased about
10 per cent, to become effective Feb.'
l. Other rates will be equitably ads
justed" II
The reference to other rates led to
the presumption yesterday that an I'M
crease commensurate with that grant
ed to common labor was to be made
to the other employees of the corpora
| ton. In this case the increase In the
annual payroll, it is estimated. would
be in the neighborhood of $40.0OO,Oo0.
! or about per cent on the common
stock capitalization. In 1919 the corr
| poration earned only slightly in exc
cess of 10 per cent on the junior
shares, the preliminary figures being
determined from the four quarterly
| statements.
The increase announced now is the
ninth that the corporation has made
since 1915. Three times in 1916 there
were increases of 10 per cent and two
rises of a like amount were made in
1917. There were three advances I'M
1918, the first an increase of Is peri
cent and the last two about 10 per
| cent.
With the exception of one increase.
all have applied to the entire force of
employees. The exception was an In.
crease granted TO laborers alones
Since 1915 the increase of pay for
unskilled workers has amounted I'd
IA per cent over the 81 wage prevail
| ing at the end of 1915.
