SPEECHES COST
GOVERNOR MUCH
Allowed No Travelling Funds And
Trip Expenses Reach Several
Thousands

ATLANTA, May Ex-Governor
Thomas w. Hardwick delivered am
address at Charlottesville yesterday
and tomorrow he will speak at Coch-
ran The governor is besieged with
invitations to deliver speeches and
endeayors to accept as many of the
invitations as possible. A great many
people have been under the i'm
preston that the expenses of the
governor on the various trips he made
throughout the state were paid for
by the state. The idea is an erron-
eous one, as the executive foots his
own bill. The amount Of railroad
fare paid cut by Governor Hardwick
since he has been governor will
amount to several thousand dollars.
The state only allows expenses for
the governor when he travels strictly
on business for the state.
Officials of the railroad commits
sion, the prison commission, the de-
partment of agriculture and other
state departments are allowed their
travelling expenses, but the state has
not been so liberal with the gov
ernor. The governor speaks Friday
in Savannah and Saturday in Way
cross.

five out-of-town exhibitors and be-
tween twenty and thirty Waycross
exhibitors having showings of their
products. The exhibits are arrang-
ed in the municipal building, which
has been artistically decorated for
the occasion.
Today is Curb Market Day, in
other words Farmers Day, and We'd
nesday will be styled Goods Roads
Day. Saturday is expected to be the
largest day in point of attendance,
as Governor Hardwick is scheduled to
speak on that date.
The Waycross celebration of the
week will probably be the largest in
South Georgia and numbers of peo-
pie from the surrounding district are
expected to attend.
Several entertainment features are
to be carried out in connection with
the program for the week.

MOB STORMS JAIL, GETS NEGRO I'M DENSON
RECALLS TIME
ALL AMERICUS
HAD ONLY $40

"Americus and Sumter county are
not broke at ALL" says H. A. C. Deri-
SO, Sr,. of near Leslie. 81 remember
distinctly right after the Civil War,
through which I fought, that Ameri-
Gus had only $40 in it, and this was
circulated about from one store to
the other in an effort to make it go
long way to encourage people that
they did have little money.
"All that is necessary to be done
at this time is for everybody to go
to work, do the very best possible
with what is at hand, smile all the
way through, quit grouching, and
look to the bright side that is sure
to develop with the gathering of the
now promised abundant crops. Things
have always worked out for the good
Of the people and this year will be
no exception.
81 am planning to go to the re-
union with the other boys and intend
to have a good time / feel young
and happy, and will enjoy the occas-
ion with the old vets When I come
back | will go to work on the farm
and be happy there, too. The secret
of it all is to be happy and work
hard"

JURY REFUSES TO
GIVE DIVORCE TO
MRS. CAMMACE
Hard Fight By Engineers Wife
For Marital Freedom
Fails

Mrs. Fannie w. Gammage, wife of
Ed A. Gammage, well known local
Seaboard engineer, was refused di-
vorce by a jury in Superior court just
after noon today. The case went to
trial about II o'clock Monday and
did not go to the jury until "a hours
later, it having been one OF the hard
est fought divorce suits ever seen in
this county.
For several months Mrs. Gammage
has been drawing $25 per month
temporary alimony on order of Judge
Littlejohn, who made that finding af-
ter a lengthy hearing, and Mr.. Gam
mage has also been paying her $25
per month additional maintenance
for their young daughter, who has
been in her custody. What effect
the verdict in the divorce case may
have on the alimony situation was not
certain in the minds Of all the at
torneys in the case today.
Mrs. Gammage was ably represent
ed by j. +. d. Shipp and j. f. Shep-
pard, while w. w, Dykes and Steph-
en- Pace handled the defense effec-
lively for Mr. Gammage.
Mrs. Gammage has been living at
her old home in Helena since their
separation some months ago. Both
she and Mr.. Gammage had been mar
ried before, and he has one son,
now II years of age, by the former
marriage. Considerable rather SEN
sational testimony was brought out
during the trial, Mrs. Gammage's
character being attacked more by in
ference than by direct charges of
misconduct.
The form of the verdict returned
in the case was: eve the jury de
cline to grant divorce" 1t was
out more than an hour.

held throughout the season, not only
by those who made the team and sub
stitutes, but by the entire student
body. The smiles and shouts of joy
as were seen and heard during the
games, while our team kept in the
lead, will long be remembered, espe-
cially by those out on the diamond
who were showing athe observer how
well they could make the ball stick.
The enthusiasm and success of the
varsity team so aroused winning
spirit in two of the boys, known
as Frog and Chick that they called
for the varsity's captain, George AL
len, to help organize a scrub team.
So another winning team belongs to
our association.

ATLANTA, May 23.-Spot cotton
sold for 20 cents in Atlanta yester-
day, with good middling bringing 21
cents. This is the highest price paid
fo~ cotton in Atlanta since last Oe-
tober. The price of twenty cents
brings the 500-pound bale up to S100.
There seems to be general idea
among cotton men that cotton prices
will hardly go any lower until next
fail, if then. The increase in price
has brought many thousand bales in
to the market during the past few
