high school building, located several
miles southwest of Americous in the
17th district, burned to the ground

GOOD LAWYER
AND TOLD WHY

MOULTRIE, Oct. Ia - Rufus
Thomas, negro, was guilty of vi
olating the prohibition law and for
that reason he was all the more
in need of the service Of good
lawyer, he naively told Joudge w.
Z. Thomas in Colquitt Superior
court.
Thomas statement came when
the case against him was called.
The courts saw that he had no at
torney and asked him was he gull
ty or not guilty. Guilty, judge"
was his answer. But before any
further action could be taken, the
negro added, "for that reason,
jedge, | wish you would name me
mighty good lawyer to help me get
out of this trouble"
Judge Thomas humorously re-
piled, "well, that is all right, just
sit down. / will be your lawyer"
Rufus will be sentenced later in

MUSICAL PLAY
Best OF City's Talent Appear To-
night In Tuneful Comedy
'Katcha-Koo'

With practically everything in the
house sold out, bright, crisp au-
tumn day and everybody happily an
ticipating the delightful musical
comedy which closed its final rehear-
sal Thursday might, the prospects are
bright for the best amateur perform
ance which has ever been staged in
Americus.
A feature which adds everything
to the anticipation of the production
is that it is composed entirely of local
talene, the very best which the city
affords, among whom are many with
splendid qualifications for putting on
real professional play Among the
number of stars are Miss Melva Clark,
who has enjoyed several years ex,
perience before musical audiences;
Prof. Ned Warren, who has a store
OF histrionic art; Miss Vera Henry,
James Davenport, Otis Physioc, Miss
Maude Sherlock, Miss Marie Walker.
and score of others.
The dances will prove a delightful
variation from the usual amateur
performance.
The grand finale comes when all
the various groups, comprising $50
performers, form into one great
whole and present Liberty Aflame, I"
a patriotic tableau.
The Music Study Club under whose
the production is being staged, is
gratified at the success of the under
taking and expresses appreciation to
each one who has contributed time
and talent to its production.

CITIZEN 'SF|RST
DUTY IS VOTING,
SAYS HARDING
President Answers Virginia G.
o. p. Request for Expression.
Urges Big Poll This Fall.

In response to . request for an ex.
preston on the Duties Of Citizen" b"
sent to President Harding by Charles
8. Stoler, chairman, publicity commit
tee. Alexandria Republican Club, the
President has indicated that duty
number one IL attendance at the polls
on election day.
"If you can succeed in securing in
Virginia this fall the largest vote that
State ever cast. I will 0ersonally feel
that you have accomplished a notable
civic advantage, quite regardless of
the political result" the President
wrote to Stoler.
''It seems to me that you have
yourself suggested one Of the most
important duties Of every citizen. You
observe that In the last election for
governor Of Virginia, only $4,000 votes
were cast, while in 1920 the total, with
women voting. rose to 231 900, while
there was total possible qualified
vote Of about 100000. Quite regard.
less of effect on the fortunes of par.
ticular political parties, am i'm.
pressed that there is need particularly
for an appeal to voters to perform
their duty at the ballot box on election
day. II the result of a full vote in
Virginia or any other State should
prove disastrous to the party OF
which you or chance to be q member,
we would at least know that we had
heard the voice Of the people, and
would be the more ready to acquiesce
in their decision. There is no moro
important duty for the citizen than
this Of voting on the one day In the
year when his vote means something. "
In concluding the letter, the Presi.
dent said:
II think II will not be improper for
me to add, that I shall have, like
yourself, no fear Of the political result,
II an expression can be secured.
