OTIS. OF TROUBLE.
Befuddled Undertaken
Left Door Unlocked
And Tipped Police

The county treasury was enriched
by 5000 Saturday as the result of
two negroes pleading guilty to hav-
ing whisky in their possession and
paying fines of 500 each or eight
months on the chaingang imposed by
Judge Harper in the city court.
The negroes were Will Prince, un-
dertaker, who conducts the funeral
business for the Josh Simmons es-
tate, and Jiles Smith, taxi driver.
1t was the fact that he had been
too befuddled to lock the door of the
undertaking establishment Friday
night that got Prince into trouble.
Officer Parrish, dihgent on his Cotton
avenue beat, discovered the door un-
locked well after midnight. He re-
ported it and a search warrant was
obtained. Officers Lee and Kimsey
assisted Officer Parrish in entering
and searching the place, and the
search revealed a quart Of stump
rum. Prince was found and arrest
ed. He readily admitted it was his IL
quor when confronted with the as
surance that if it were not his the
widow of Josh Simmons would have
to answer for it's presence in the es-
tablishment of which she is manager
The home Of Jiles Smith on the
north side was visited about 4:30
o'clock Saturday morning by Sheriff
Harvey, Deputy Summers and Off
GERS Lee and Kimsey. A 2-gallon
jug, half full of white lightning, was
dug up ON the adjoining lot by the
officers, but the negro readily admit
ted it belonged to him when he was
told the details of some liquor trans
actions he had recently consummated.
Smith is the negro whose car, driven
by Floyd Martin, another negro,
killed j. w. Duckworth in Americus
more than a wear ago.

To Make Daily Edition
Official Publication

At meeting of the Americus Bar
Association Saturday at the court
house the application of the Times
Recorder to have it's daily instead of
of weekly edition designated as the
official publication for Sumter coun-
ty, which had been referred to that
body by the clerk, ordinary and sher-
iff, whose duty it is to designate the
publication, was endorsed and COM
mittee appointed by President Mis-
bett to confer with these three off
cials and assist in drawing the neces-
sary paper of notice.
Before the change can become eff
fective publication of the order must
be made for thirty days, and it is de-
sired to have the law complied with
in time to start publication of notices
for July sales, etc, in the daily edi-
ton.
1t was explained to the lawyers
that the reason for the request for
the change was the ability of the
Times-Recorder to give better service
in it's daily edition because of it's
greater general circulation.

film MEN CAME
FOR BABYPARADE
But They're Coming
Back Next Tuesday,
They Say

Making a special trip from Allan
ia to tilm the gorgeous baby parade,
one of the main features of the play
ground fete which had been planned
for Saturday afternoon, James Buch-
anan, southern representative of the
Fox News reel, and Roy Kluver, of
New York, representing the Interna-
tlonal Film Service, spent several
hours in this city Saturday. They
left for Atlanta on the afternoon
train, declaring that they would be
back here next Tuesday, the day now
set for the event.
Both of these motion picture pho
tographers, always on the lookout
for interesting events for their news
weekly films, put Americas on their
date books as soon as they learned
of the event, but they did not learn
until their arrival that the big fete
had been postponed because of the
rain. "But it's worth coming back
for they both assured as they left.
IF fair weather prevails Sunday
and Monday the fete will be staged
Tuesday afternoon at O'Clock" /"
said Mrs. ]. Ralston Cargill, general
chairman of the affair, Saturday.
"Of course it is impossible to put on
the dances and other features which
will compose the program unless we
have several days of drying weather,
since the grounds have recently been
graded"
Stories have leaked out of many
gorgeously decorated baby carriages,
all ready and waiting the big event.
And that is why the movie operators
are coming back; they suspect there
will be something in that parade
worth flashing on the screens all over
the world. And they won't be dis
appointed.

mum of $4,000 a year is necessary
for the support of an American fami-
ly of five, w. Jett Lauck, consulting
economist for the railroad brother
hoods, asserted today before the Rail-
way Labor Board.
Mr.. Lauck, who yesterday charged

sented to be board compilation of
budgets on the cost of living based
on studies made under his supervi-
sion and by federal and state
agencies.
sit is impossible" he said, ''for
family of five in the United States
to maintain itself even in decent pow
erty under existing conditions for
penny less than $4,000 a year"
his estimate, he said, was support
ed by government agencies and quot
ed the estimate made by Professor
Royal S. Meeker, commissioner of
labor statistics, in August, 1919.
That estimate was $2,262. The esti-
mate for May, he insisted should be
$3.50.
Mr.. Lauck in his statement de-
clared that "the fundamental cause
of all economic instability, all indus
trial unrest, all Interruptions of pro-
duction and distribution has been

retailers. Both during and since the
war the public has been and is now
virtually at the mercy of Unsuitable
spectators and conscienceless finan-
cial ghouls."
In concluding the brotherhood
spokesman requested that the board
curtail its examinations of wage data
and come Immediately to the question
of what constitutes living wage.
