Told ON Julius Corner.

As testifving to the great pleasure
of the old veterans at their annual re-
unions, the following is a case in point
Mr., w. ]. Liison. Of Company X.
45th Alabama, who did not surrender
when island No.s1O was captured by
the Federals, was a visitor to Houston.
Texas. during the last reunion, and
while there had the great pleasure Of
meeting a sister whom he had not seen
for forty-eight years. Mr.. Linson had
his name and the words Company X,
45th Alabama Regiment lettered OH
his hat. All elderly lady present. In
attempting. to read the superscription,
miscalled the name. and her companion.
also an elderly lady, asked particulars.
When the name was finally called it
was discovered that the second lady
was Miss Amanda Walker. his long
lost sister. Mr.. Linson then tele-
graphed brother residing ut Mineral
Wells that he was going home with his
sister. who lived at Buffalo, Texas.
The brother also was visitor, and he
had not known of the whereabouts OF
this sister for the same lenght of time.

sons In how to speak Spanish. This
fact may have connection with the bur-
glary OF the Keeth Store, which &C.
cured here several months ago, as in
the loot recovered by Officer Westmore-
land at Shreveport booklet on the
same subject was found. The officer,
however, described his prisoner (who
escaped) as having a well defined
scar on his face, while Charly has none.
1t has been noted that Mr.. j. D. Fenet
lost horse when one of these rObberies
occurred, and that when Mr.. w. G..
Hughes store was robbeu that there
was black mare left at Mr.. J. h.
Strayhan's ferry-the same night some
one broke his skiff away at the ferry.
The night of the last robbery here a
bride was dropped on the outside of
the store. and as several horses have
disappeared, it is believed the thieves
were well organized.
Messrs. Wagg0ner, Demoss and Har-
rison left Tuesday for Shreveport to
investigate the pawn ticket and other
qualifications and there is still another
angle to the matter that your reporter
thinks best not to mention just now. as
by Its mention the ends of justice
might be defeated.
The sincere thanks of all in the hunt
are rendered to Mr. I. F. Elder and Mr.
Weaver, of the Weaver & Rivers Lum-
Der Company, as through their thor
ough cooperation their burdens were
made endurahle. Members of the hunt
state Mr.. Weaver is no gutter, going

discovered to be ON fire at tree o'clock
this morning Mr.. Allen Roach, who
occupies the w. b. Boggs residence

Score of Families Destitute; Here /
Is Touching Appeal For Aid

Robert d. Anglin, one of the best
known citizens of Americas, called at
the Times-Recorder today and asked
if some space could be given to the
cause of humanity. Bob, as he is
Familiarity known to hundreds of cit
liens throughout the county, says that
his business of running a store takes
him to all parts Of the county, includ-
ing many places which are not touch
ed by the automobile travellers, as
the latter stay oni the better roads
and highways, while he, with his large
road wagon, laden with articles for
sale, goes into the byways and up
to the homes of the residents of out
-of-the-way parts of the county.
Mr. Anglin is chairman Of society
known in the Christian church, of
which he is a member, known as
"The Helping Hand" and. he says if
ever there was a time in the history
of Sumter county when the helpinp
hand needs to be stretched out, this
is the time.
Il know of twenty families
throughout the county who are in
real need" said he. mot just ordi-
nary need, such as we suppose fami-
lies might be subjected to once in a
while, but in deep and desperate need.
A need for food and for clothes, and
need for the barest necessities of
life.
Zone poor woman, who has four
children to care for, in discussing her
own individual need, said that she
would be even glad to get the scraps
of cloth that people throw away so
that she might piece them together
and make waists for her two little
boys"
In relating this pathetic incident,
Mr.. Anglin said that his heart was so
touched with pity for this poor wom-
an and her children, that he wept all
the way down the road in sympathy
for such deprivation in his midst.
Mr. Anglin said that he could tell
of family after family just in such
straitened circumstances. and related
a number of them in telling of their
need. He said that something should
be done to alleviate such necessity,
that it was unchristianlike for people
to overlook
When asked by the reporter IN
what way help might be administered
to these needy and worthy people, ne
naively said, "People might think that
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1921-06-20

because Bob Anglin operates a store
wagon, might be asking for this
help for the needy country people
so that | might dispose of donation
at price. But that is not my motive.
l am willing to reveal the Identy of
these families if | am called ON to
do so. AS chairman of the Helping
Hand" society, | make this appeal
through your paper, that the good
people of this prosperous city cOntri-
butte any old garment for clothing for
this stricken people. Why, they will
consider riches the things that most
people throw away. They need hats
any old hats-shoes, clothes, trousers
for little boys and for grown ones +.
and clothes for small and larger girls.
They need everything in the way of
clothes.
'If the kind-hearted people will
gather these things together, and will
call me at phone 1855, or come to my
home, 704 Spring street, | will come
and get the garments for distribution
among the poor. Or if they will leave
them at the Times-Recorder, | will
call there. The need is desperate, and
truly the harvest is plenteous but
the laborers are few
"Americus people contributed
nearly $500 to the starving Chinese
in far away country-can't they
contribute some old cast-off clothing
to people of their own kind right here
in their midst?"

EMERY COMING
TO COLUMBUS
New Legion Head To
Fill Galbraith' s
Engagement

COLUMBS,U June 20.-John G.
Emery, newl yelected national com
mander of the American Legion, will
fill the speaking engagement of the
late national commander, Col. Fred
erick w. Galbraith, at the third an
nual state convention of the Ameri-
can Legion here July A, and 6, ac.
cording to advices from state head
quarters in Atlanta.
Local legionnaires were deeply
shocked at the news of the death of
Commander Galbraith, who had ac-
cepted an invitation to attend the
convention and to remain through the
+hree-day event. kilograms were
sent to national headquarters for in
formation as to whether or not the
new commander would be able to
make the trip and the reply in the af-
firmative which was received in At
lanta, has just been made public
here. 1t is expected that Mr.. En-
cry will be here for the duration of
the convention. In any event he
will deliver the principal address on
July a at monster mass meeting of
legionnaires, members of Women's
Auxiliary and former service men and
women of Georgia whether members
of the Legion or not.
Reduced railroad rates to sColum-
bus have been secured from the rail
roads provided $50 attend and as it
is already assured that several thous-
and visitors are coming here there APP
pears little doubt that the rate will
apply on return trip tickets. This
will amount to fare and a half for
the round trip. Legionnaires, mem
bers of the women's auxiliary and
their dependents will benefit.
