Want Ad Finds Purse
Feared Gone For Good

An Americus lady has had her
purse, containing some money, sew
eral keys, and some valuable tickets,
restored to her Friday through the
use of The Times-Recorder Want Ad
column.
Monday she was down town shop
ping and stopped for a moment at
the home of a friend. In getting in
and out of the car, she Thought it
had slipped from the pocket of her
dress. Later she drove out on the
Plains road, and was then uncertain
whether the purse was lost in the
city or on the rural road.
Against the advice of members Of
the family, who told her she was
throwing away money for advertis-
ing, she inserted "lost" ad in the
want columns, and Friday the purse
was restored to her by the person
who found it on the streets of Amer
icus. Now she is an advocate of ad-
vertising.

NINE FIELD BATTLE RACES ON 10 MILE FRONT
FARMER SAYS
T-R COMES NEXT
TOHIS COFFEE

. F. MWILLIAMS, who resides
0Son a splendid farm six miles
from Americus. in a northwestern
ly direction from the city, was
here Friday and called at the
Times Recorder office to renew his
subscription.
Mr.. McWilliams said that he was
very greatly interested in keeping
right up with his expiration limit,
because he could not be without
the paper.
81 would rather do without
something to eat" said he. 81
love coffee better than anything in
this world" he explained, "and
the Times-Recorder comes next in
my affections to my coffee"
AS an after-thought, he added,
81 might be tempted to do without
my coffee rather than be without
the Times-Recorder."
Mr.. McWilliams is busy planting
various crops on his farm, and
talks interestingly of the present
crop outlook. But, stealing a day
from his farm, when it was too
wet to work, he paid the Times Re-
corder a visit to express his ap-
probation of the paper which he
likes SO well to read daily.

VETERANS AGAIN
Sumter Reunion Visitors
Back From Albany
Gathering

Sumter Confederate veterans re-
turned Thursday night and Friday
from Albany, where they attended
the thirtieth annual reunion of the
Georgia Division. Although rain in
terfered with some of the social ac-
tivities Of the reunion, they were
loud in their praise of Albany as a
hostess. 1t was Albany's first eX-
perience as a reunion city and OK
pecting it to be its last, no effort
was spared to provide everything the
hearts of the veterans could desire.
Rome was chosen as the next place
of reunion at the final business ses-
sion Thursday afternoon. Rome re-
ceived the votes Of fifty camps to
thirty-six for Statesboro.

feating Brig.-Gen. D. B. Morgan, of

ed the votes of sixty-seven camps and
General Morgan of ffty-one. There
were four scattering votes, two for
Major c. C. McGregor, of Warren
ton, and two for Major T. J. Horsley,
of Arlington. On motion of Gen
eral Morgan, the election of General
Thomas was made unanimous. Gen
eral Morgan stated that he would not
have been a candidate, but for the
fact that he understood General
Thomas would not stand for re-elec-
ton.
All the brigade commanders and
other officers were reelected, with
the exception of the Northern Bri-
gade commander, to which office DR..
]. A. Wise, of Hapeville, was elected
to succeed Brig-Gen. 7. j. Shepard,
of Atlanta.

Gus, was chosen commander of the
Western brigade to which place he
was appointed two weeks ago by
Gen Thomas to succeed Gen, Bar
row.

Brig. Gen. M. G. Murchison, of Ten
nile, commander of Cavalry Brigade; (;
Col. H. w. Powell, of Vienna, flag
ensign.
Resolutions were adopted endors-
ing a pension of $240 year for all
veterans. and favoring pensions for
all Confederate widows; also for a
more general observance of Confed-
crate Memorial Day, April &c, and
Lees Birthday January 19.
Resolutions heartily thanking the
people and various organizations of
Albany for their hospitality were
adouted. particularly mentioning lit
tie Mary Virginia Reid, 6-year-old of
Albany. who with her little peep
show" raised 81 for the reunion en-
tertainment fund.
The big street dance, called off
Wednesday night on account Of
the rain. was held Thursday night and
proved to be one of the most inter
esting and enjoyable of a long list of
entertainment features during the re-
union.

HEAVY FIRING IS
REPORTED FROM
COAL COUNTRY
Known Casualties Now
Three Dead and q
Wounded

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, May 13.
Mountain warfare over a ten-mile
front in the West Virginia ana
Kentucky coal fields was resumed
with vigor this morning. Reports to
Captain Brockus, of ahe state police,
state that heavy firing is in progress
at McCarr, KY, and at Merrimac.
w. Va, where shooting started yes
terday.
An unidentified man was killed on
a bridge leading from McCarr to the
West Virginia bank of the Tug Kver
this morning, bringing the known
casualties to three dead and two
wounded.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Kohn Hall
left here this morning with supplies
of ammunition for the detachment of
state police stationed at Sprigg, one
of the towns in the battle zone. Re-
ports from Sprigg indicated that fir
ing from the mountains had been re-
sumed soon after daybreak.
Beginning soon after dawn yes,
terday morning at the little mining
town of Merrimac, four miles up the
Tug river from this city, fusillade
of shots was poured from the noun
tain side successfully into Merrimac
Rawl, Sprigg and Matewan, West
Virginia, and McCarr, Ky.
All available state police and dep
uty sheriff centered in Williamson
were rushed to the scene by train
and automobile but according to re-
ports they have been unable to check
the shooting.
Harry o. Station, a state prohibi-
tion officer and merchant at Sprigg,
was killed by bullet from the noun
tains and Noah Phillips and young
man named Calvert, employees of the
White Star Coal company's commi-
sary at Merrimac, are seriously
wounded
The outbreak, the worst since the
Matewan battle of last May 10, in
which 10 persons were killed in
Guiding the mayor of Matewan, had
all the appearance of pre-arranged
attack.
The towns visited with the hail of
lead are all within seven miles of
each other and lie in a narrow val
ley on the banks of the Tug river
which here separates West Virginia
from Kentucky. The firing came
from the mountains on both sides of
the river, according to state police.
Terror reigned in the towns in the
zone of fire as last night fell and it
was learned that the authorities had
failed to apprehend any Of the at
tacking force. The bulk of shooting
heretofore has been done at night
when lighted houses afforded easy
targets for the hidden riflemen. Vir-
tually oil lights were extinguished
last night and residents kept under
cover
