MANY AMERICUS
PEOPLE IN CRASH
ON DIXIE FLYER
Fast Train I lit By Semin
ole Limited -lniu-
riesg Slight

The Dixie Flyer, with a heavy pas
senger list of weekend excursionists
from this section Of Georgia return
ing from Jacksonville, including
many Americas people, was hit by
theSemnole Limited. in a rear-end
collision last night at Sumner, t sta
ton on the Atlantic Coast Line. A
number of passengers were shaken
and scratched, although none were
reported badly hurt. Thurman Spruce
of Macon, wss~Aa4e most seriously in
jured of all the passengers, it was
reported. The observation car Of the
Dixie Flyer, on the rear, was badly
smashed and had to be dropped.
Walter Rylander, of Americus, was
returning from Jacksonville, where
he had been called on business from
Atlanta Saturday, and occupied a
berth in the rear car, which was hit.
"The Dixie Flyer developed air
brake trouble" said he, "and stop
ped at Sumner. The train was load
.ed to capacity, with every berth and
every seat filled. I was sleeping in
the rear car. When the train stopped
the fiagman was sent back to halt the
Seminole Limited, which always fol
lows closely behind. He did not get
far enough back and when seen by
the engineer of the Seminole it was
too late to stop before hitting US, al
though he applied the brakes.
Il was thrown through the parti-
ton between my berth and the next
one to me, but was not hurt. There
was nc one hurt much, although sew
eral suffered scratches and minor
bruises. The whole thing laid US out
and it was 7:30 o'clock this morning
whea we reached Americus."

Fame Comes To Indian
Girl In Beauty Contest

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 5.-Fame
came to Maria Bibiana Uribe over
night and from a simple, Indian
maiden living with her parents in a
tiny village in the Puebla mountains,
she has now become a social figure of
the Mexican capital.
Senorita Uribe was chosen as the
most beautiful Indian girl in Mexico
in recent newspaper contest which
extended over many months and in
which more than 500 photographs
were submitted to the jury. The
Puebla Indian girl received first prize
and was brought to Mexico City to
be the central figure at number
Of society functions. Sonora PAM,
wife Of the Secretary of Foreign Re-
lauons, invited her to a recent tea
where she met many of the social
leaders Of the city.
Barefoot Maria, wearing the char
aCteristc dress of her race and tribe
was not at all abashed and that night
occupied a gayly decorated box at
a theater entertainment given in her
honor. She says, however, that she
cares not for the glitter of society
and that 'unless something happens"
she will not leave her mountain
home.

The campaign has been extended
another ten days, in the belief that
the people do not yet fully under
stand. This week an effort will be
made to take the message to them III
person as far as possible. But they
will not be solicited-a gift of this
kind must be voluntary. However,
they will be reminded that it is their
movement, and that if it is to succeed
it can succeed only because they want
it to succeed badly enough to interest
themselves personally in it.
The Times-R Recorder is authorized
to say that if this campaign does not
90 over Immediately, in the few days
of extended time, by the people in
teresting themselves in it sufficiently,
the committee will close up the cam
paign, and invite others to take up
the burden, or, finding no volunteers,
will return the donations already in
hand. 1t feels that this is the public's
affair, not it's own, and that If the
public wants to honor its own 1t must
arouse iteslf and do so. Heretofore 1t
has been the custom of the public to
let a few individuals do all the work
in public movements, and to stand
back until approached and begged for
donations. There will be no begging
this time. Begging should never
be needed to compel people to do
their duty, and in this case begging
will not put real appreciation, love
and thankfulness into hearts which
do not already have it.
Sumter county is on trial before
her own people and before the world.
Very few have spoken FOR Sumter
county, but many by silence have
spoken against. Will the verdict
stand thus?

THESE few words are written con-
cerning the proposed erection Of
a memorial monument to the young
men of Sumter county who served,
and some of whom died, in the Great
World war.
Eleven days ago this campaign,
proposing the erection of beautiful,
suitable and not expensive, monu-
ment. was launched. 1t was to be a
token of love and veneration from
the hearts Of the people, wholly vol
untary. 1t was thought by those who
put forward the plan that the people
had merely been waiting for the op-
portunity to unite on some such a
rlan. In the minds of the committee
there was no doubt that the people Of
Sumter county were grateful and
wanted to do this fine and easily done
thing for THEIR boys.
But the committee has failed, thus
far. 1t has been reluctant to admit
that its judgment of the sentiments
of the people was wrong. 1t will not
now admit that the people OF SUM-
ter county are people more lacking
in appreciation, love for their own
or forgetful of those terrible days
when they were left behind and Their
bows were on the bloody fields OF
France than others. BUT
The campaign up to this time has
not only been a failure but a dis
tinct failure. Only the smallest per-
,centage cf the people of Sumter
county have given anything to the
monument fund or shown any inter
est whatsoever in the movement
They are forcing upon the committee
conclusions which the committee VIII
not accept until it must.
