various officers in Sumter county dur

country negro who recently moved to
town, is said to be the owner of a
lard can still found in his home the

Milton Heath and Lee Simmons
were caught dead making a run of

lard can affair, was going full blast
in the woods on the bank of creek
when the officers arrived in the dark.
A gallon of first run liquor was
seized.

SHARPER LINES DRAWN
IN RACE IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, March 27.-Sharper
lines were drawn in the Democratic
presidential nomination situation in
Georgia when Thomas E. Watson, of
Thomson, announced his willingness
to have his name appear on the ticket
as a presidential candidate.
With Governor Dorsey considering
favorably making the race, United
States Senator Hoke Smith an ac-
tive candidate, and friends of A.
Mitchell Palmer in Macon declaring
that heswill be kept in the race, the
grouping of forces was accelerated
United States Senator James A. Reed
is still candidate.
AS the situation stands there are
four candidates on the ticket, these
being Senator Hoke Smith, Senator
Reed, Attorney General Palmer and
Mr.. Watson. In addition the prob
abaility that Governor Dorsey would
run for the presidency grows
stronger.
There also remains a possibility
that Governor Edwards of New Jer-
sey may run in the Georgia primary.

days, and it is also said to be almost
certain the name of Senator Reed

If the names of Palmer and Reed

FANS, HOW
ABOUT FAST
NINE HERE?

Say, fans!
The weather is getting to feel
mighty like baseball these days.
What is Americus going to do?
Shall we have a speedy amateur
team here this year to provide
good pastime for the lazy spring
and summer afternoons? We
have the men right here.
How badly would you like to
see a fast nine organized here
for games with the teams that
are being formed in the sur
rounding towns? 1t will take
some money, for there will be
some preliminary expenses.
What do you say? Are there
some volunteers who will show
they want baseball by sending in
their checks or cash? If you
want baseball the Times Record
er will act as custodian of the
funds temporarily until an or
ganization can be perfected.

APPEAL FROM CATHOLIC
PILPITS.

On February % message dealing
with the dangers of unrest was reat
from every Catholic pulpit in the
United States. The message said II
part:
Though the war Is ended our
country is not yet restored to its
normal condition. On every side
there is unrest and agitation.
The conflict of class with class
makes progress impossible. 1t
threatens to undo the splendid
things which union Of all our peo-
pie accomplished. 1t is import
ing into our country the very
evils which brought disaster to
Europe. Ignorance is an evil
that must be constantly combat
ted. but it is not the only evil.
What we have chiefly to fear is
educated intelligence that is de-
void of moral principle-the man
who uses his knowledge to abuse
his freedom. This is the danger
Gus type. To continue its produc-
ton or allow it to multiply would
not be the part of wisdom.
The message is one that ought tc
have great influence. FOR it is tim.
we hardened to the voice in the pulrli
of every church in the land. Not thai
the church never errs; but it is d.
matter Of history that a proper re
gard for the church and its teaching,
leads to a better and more balance,
mental attitude in all worldly contro
vorsies.
