passage of the bill precisely in the

TO TEST PUBLIC
LOVE FOR GAME
Committee Will Seek
Fund To Equip Base
ball Team

A committee of young men inter,
ester in the revival of baseball here
this season and Reorganization Of
as fast a team as is possible to get
together at nominal expense, will call
on the citizens of Americus Monday
for subscriptions to a fund of $500
to equip the proposed team, put the
playground diamond into playing
condition and repair and enlarge the
bleachers for the comfort and con-
venience of patrons. If this amount
can be secured, it is calculated, the
team can be. put in the field, after
which it should be self-supporting.
According to the plans, Bradley
Hogg, former National league pitch
er, and John Wagnon, former pro
fessional infielder and umpire, will
manage the team and possibly play.
The remainder of the team would
be recruited from the best possible
material locally, positions to be
awarded solely on merit.
Because of the deep love here for
the national game, and the con-
of the high value to a
community of a first class baseball
club, it is believed that generous
support will be met in this movement.

CAPT. STEWART
URGED FOR STATE
VETCOMMANDER
Americus Man Doomed
To Succeed General
Thomas Next Month

Word has come to the Times-Re.
cOrder that movement is under
way among the veterans of Georgia
to elect Capt. Joe Day Stewart of
Americus to the position of state
commander, United Confederate
Veterans, at the annual reunion
which takes place next month at
Albany, to succeed General Thomas
Of Dublin. General Thomas has held
office several years and accepted re
election last year only after the
strongest insistence of the veterans.
Capt. Stewart is one of the best
known men of the state in the ranks
of the veterans, and bears the repu
tation, rightfully earned, of having
done more than any other single vet,
eran to secure relief for he old sol
diers and their widows. Always
himself in the background, never
seeking anything for himself, not
even recognition, his untiring efforts
in behalf of others have won him
an abiding place in the hearts of his
comrades and his friends. His work
for his home camp is conspicuous, al
though he has taken the lead in re.
lift movements for the entire state.
The Times-Recorder has received
the following letter from a Macon
county veteran in behalf of the elec-
tion of Can't. Stewart to the office
of state commander:
Editor Times-Recorder. On the
11-12 of May the state reunion of
Confederate Veterans will be held at
Albany, and as new officers are to
be elected and as the veterans feel
disposed to honor men who are their
friends, there is a disposition among
the men in the West Georgia brig
ade to put in such a man. From in
innate association with Capt. Joe
Day Stewart, of your city, know
that the old Confederate Veterans
and their widows have in him true
friend and the camp of Macon coun'
ty would be glad to support him for
the office of brigade commander.

Capt. Stewart has been spending
the winter in Florida and has not re-
turned to his home here. SO far as
known here, he knows nothing OF

COUNTY
DAMAGE SUIT
F. D. Mitchell Awarded
$500 In City
Court

A five weeks steady grind of the
City Court came to an end Friday
evening with the docket practically
cleared and all jury business for the
term disposed of The last case tried
was that of F. D. Mitchell VS.. Sum-
ter county, IN which Mr.. Mitchell
sought damages for the changing of
the Plains road at the underpass a
short distance west of Americus from
the south to the north side of the
Seaboard railroad. The jury award
ed Mr.. Mitchell $500. The Mitchell
farm is located on the south side Of
the railroad and before the cha
in the location of the highway the
house was conveniently located on
the road. The roadway was changed
to eliminate grade railroad crossing.
the route leaving the north side of
the track through an underpass and
a short distance farther out return
ing to the north side by crossing.
Another case of some interest
which was tried the latter part of the
week was that of NJ M. Newberry VS..
the Terrell Land company, whose
large farm land tract is located near
Flntside. Mr.. Newberry, suing on
verbal contract, was awarded dam
ages of $4,000. Attorneys for the
land concern filed motion for a new
trial on the ground that the verdict
was contrary to the evidence and to
the law. Judge Harper set May IA
as the date for the hearing on the
motion. Attorneys engaged are w
t. Lane, r. C. Lane and Wallis &
Fort, for NeWberry, and II. Df Stroz-
ier, of COrdele, and -Shipp and Shep-
pard, for the Terrell interests.
The Newberry case has been in
court long time, having been be
fore the court of appeals on appeal
by the plaintiff after the issue had
been demurred to, and the demurrer
sustained by Judge Harper. There
is an interesting point of law involv-
e in this case, the court of appeals
having held Newberry's verbal con-
tract with the Stackhouse Land CO.,
predecessors in title to Terrell, valid,
Notwithstanding the statute which
sets forth that all transactions per-
tanning to land and extending over a
period of more than a year shall be in
writing Newberry held an easement
from the Stackhouse interests when
Terrell came into possession of the
land from which the Terrells sought
to eject him, which brought the case
into court here.
Since the action was brought the
Terrell Land company has liquidated
its holdings to large extent, but
still owns a large acreage at Flint
side, compris.ngs portions of the for
mer Huguenin plantation, famous in
civil war days as the ''granary of the
Confederacy."

Probably the heaviest loss of life
and property was caused in the two
Arkansas counties. In the rural sec.
tions of upper Miller county, near
TeXarkana eleven persons are known
to have been killed and a large num-
Der injured. Near Hope, in Hemp
stead county, press dispatches stated
that from Is to 20 persons were
killed and scores injured by the
storm which swept the entire length
of the county The storm approach
ed within a few miles of the town,
according to reports.
Prescott is another town in Hemp.
stead county that may have been
struck by the storm. A brief message
received late last night said there
were several bodies there, but it was
not known just where the fatalities
occurred.
In Texas the damage was in the
vicinity of O'Farrell, thickly set
tied farming community west of At
lanta.

Former Georgia Writer Finds Not California, But
China Breeding Place OF Conflict
Across Pacific

President Harding has said:
Mankind needs a worldwide BEN
ediction of understanding" Only
such benediction can avert the
most serious eventualities between
America and Japan. For those
forces are at work which, all his
tory shows, lead inevitably to war
unless ccunteracted. To bring
about a mutual understanding be-
tween the American and Japanese
nations, William Philip Simms has
been sent to the Orient, to report
feelings and conditions as he finds
them. Simms is a newspaper COR
respondent of board experience at
foreign assignments. He served
1arough the World war and the
peace conference with worldwide
distinction. His first report to the
folks at home is printed herewith
today. Others will follow. You owe

number of persons killed and in
jured.
Eleven bodies had been brought
into TeXarkana early today it was
reported. Four bodies have been TAX
en- to Hope from the storm district
in that locality Early newspaper
estimates here place the number of
dead at approximately 80.
AT both Texarkana and Hope
measures were taken by municipal
officers and citizens to afford re-
lief for the storm sufferers. Runners
in light cars and on motorcycles
were sent out in all directions. From
the information obtained it was pos
sible to send nurses and doctors into
many localities Immediately
In the vicinity of Hope relief par
ties were out soon after the storm
had passed, but were able to ac-
complish little because of the dark
ness. One party reported late last
night that nine bodies had been
found between Sprudel and Rolph.
The property loss in the immediate
vicinity Hope alone was estimated
at S150,000.
