Little Boy Bravely Lets Sore
Tooth Be Pulled For SO Cents
AS Martyr To Help Starving

Lynwood Croxton, sop of Mr..
and Mrs. E. L. Croxton, who reside
on Forrest street, has not only
given his all to the starving chill
dren of Europe but he has suffer
ed for them.
Lynwood has been saving his
pennies for some time for purposes
other than charity. Lynwood is al
so a reader of the Times Recorder,
and has been Tearing of pathet-
ic conditions among the children of
destitute Europe. He Immediately
asked that he might be permitted
to give his savings to this worthy
cause. Not only that, but Lynwood
was ready to under real physical
suffering as we'll.
A tooth has been causing the
little lad a great deal of trouble
lately, his mother often admonish-
ing him to have it extracted. But
Lynwood had maintained an OBJ
stinate refusal to have the molar
attended to. Wishing to add to
his stock of change on hand, he
however agreed that if his mother
would. pay him so cents for having
the tooth extracted so that he
might add that mite to his contri-
button, he would have the opera
tion performed. This was done,
and Saturday morning Lynwood
came into the office of the Times
Recorder with 70 cents, all in
bright coins, so cents earned by
the tooth pulling and 20 cents
from selling vegetables, and laid
his contribution on the altar of
charity to help feed the little chill
dren of Europe.
According to computation, Lyn-
woods mite will feed a child for
nearly five days, and his little
bank is empty.

BASKETEERS QUIT
GAME HERE AGAIN
Walk Off Floor When
Play Gets Too
Rough

The basketball game Friday night
between the Americas Athletic Asso-
citation and Buena Vista went to the
Americus five by forfeit, the Beuna
Vista boys leaving after the first half
with the score standing 1913.
. The Beuna Vista lads, who, by the
way, were the same whom Glenn
Holly played as her team against the
Americas High school few weeks
ago, quit, they stated because the
game was too rough. 1t was the cpin-
ion of many of the spectators that it
was the Buena Vista boys who start
ed the rough playing and Americus
followed suit. 1t will be remembered
that these players when playing the
High school here recently nearly
started fight by their rough play
ing and fouling, and quit at the end
of the thir quarter.
No return game will be played in
Buena Vista by the Americas lads.
The game in Shellman Friday be-
tween the Americas High lads and
the Shellman High went to the Am
ericus lads by one point, the score
standing % to 21. This gave Ameri-
Gus two victories over the Shellman-
ties.
Saturday afternoon the Americus
High girls journeyed to Richland to
play the Richland High girls. The
lineup played by them was: Georgia
Lumpkin and Marie Bell, forwards
Frances Sparks and Louise Thayer,
centers; Julia and Minerva Allison,
guards. Miss Elizabeth Sheffield,
side center, did not play, Miss Thay-
er taking her place.
The next game to be played in
Americas will be between the Am
ericus girls and team from the
Unadilla High, at the Salvation Ar
my gym.

GERMAN EXPORTERS TO
APPEAL ON TARIFF.

BERLIN, Feb. IL. - Representa-
tives of German export manufactur-
ers at meeting here today voted
to memorable American government
al bodies dealing with tariff matters,
setting forth the present conditions
among German workingmen and in
dustr1es and supplying all available
data on German production. This
documentary matter is intended as
an argument that there is no pur-
pose to dump cheap German wares
on the American market and also
that it will be impossible for Ger
many to do so. Committees were
named to collect data from every inn
portant export industry for submis-
sion to America.

FINE SUPPLY OF
PRODUCE STARTS
RELIEF FUND SALE

Many an Americas home will be
feasting today on country-cured ham,
Sumter county meal, and a dozen or
more other delicacies bought yester-
day at the Hightower Toy Store on
North Jackson street from among the
supply of fine farm produce donat-
ed by good people of Sumter county
for the European Relief fund to
feed the starving children of Eu-
rope, and offered on sale for the
purpose Of turning it quickly into
money. The supply on hand yes
terday, the first day the gifts had
been gathered together, was sur
prisingly large, and many house
holders availed themselves of the
opportunity to purchase needed pro-
duce. The list included cured hams,
shoulders, side meat, sweet potatoes,
flour, meal peas, peanuts and other
supplies. The sale will continue in
definitely, while the gifts come in.
In new appeal, and acknowledge
ment of liberal donations already
made, County Chairman w. w.
Dykes yesterday gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"If every man, woman and child
in Sumter county would miss just
one meal, and contribute the value
thereof to the European Relief fund,
Sumter county would feed 1000 chill
dren until the next harvest
'We are asked to feed only 400
children until the next harvest. We
will not refuse. Every individual
who has given one minutes consid-
Grafton to this worthy appeal for
bread is not only donating money but
giving his time to the cause. One
serious question, will we indifferently
neglect this appeal and permit these
children to starve to death? Sumter
has never failed, will we now?
Three of the county high schools
are aroused and have contributed
literally up to date. Concord High
school, Thalean High school and An
dersonville High school have all Civ
en- literally of money and farm prod
ucts to save little children.
These splendid schools following
the lead of their principals and
teachers who are blessed with real
hearts, are responding in time to
help. The teachers and the pupils
are working and giving of their
funds as they work.
"Housekeepers of Americas will
call at once at the toy store of J. E.
Hightower, where they will find the
finest of cured smoked meats and
other good things to eat, the pro-
ceeds of which goes to the relief
fund"
1t is again called to the attention
of the public. that every cent of cash
donated, and every cent received
from produce sold, goes to the Euro
pean Relief fund, of which Herbert
Hoover is the national head, and
that all expenses are borne by those
doing the work. The coupon again
printed on this page may be utilized
by those desiring to aid.

Chicago Bomb Laid
To Political Battle

CHICAGO, Feb. 12-The explosion
at the Nineteenth Ward Democratic
headquarters last night, which .seri-
ously injured six men, was attributed
to politics today by Anthony D. An
dres, candidate for city council from

himself. Alderman Johnny Powers,
who for 33 years represented the
ward in the city council and state
senate, and is a candidate for re-

believe he "would countenance'
such action by his followers and that
he had agreed with Andrews asst Sat
