POETS DEFEAT
AMERNUS $50
johnson One OF Stars Of Final
Game Played In Macon
Friday

MACON, Nov. 25.-The Lanier
Poets got the jump on the Blue and
White aggregation of Americus High.
school yesterday afternoon and in
the first quarter they piled up
enough points to win the second and
final game of football between these
two schools. The final score was
Is to 0. Lanier had previous beat
en- Americus in Americus 6 to 0.
Playing by far the best game OF
any man on either team, Charlie
McCord yesterday crowned himself
with glory. Numerous plunges
through the line, pretty runs over
the tackles, and an occasional end
run: tackling which offset many
gains which Americus would have
made, Charlie settled for all time
the "who-and- -how-come" of the
greatest football player seen at La
nier in recent years: McCord was
so per cent of Coach Blair's Young
Cyclone and without him, Lanie9
probably would have gone down 70
| defeat. McCord scored both touch-
downs credited to the Poets.
The entire Lanier eleven played
good ball. Bennie Quinn playeh a
great game, but bum leg probably
hindered his playing somewhat. In
the line, Ray Langston, George Ba-
ker and j. Waxelbaum played splen-
didly, with Red Burkett doing
well.
For Americus, "Pussyfoot' John
son was the only man who distin-
puished himself. He made many line
plunges and off tackle plays for good
gains. johnson weighs in the .nelgn-
borhood Of 1870 pounds, and this ae-
counts largely for his successln max
| inc his way through the snappy La
nier line.

CAPITOL KHAN
PROBE Is ASKED
Asserted Initiation or High Offs
Ger OF Government Took
Place In Washington

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Press
dispatches from Atlanta yesterday
asserting that government officials
had been initiated into the Ku Klux
Klan, the ceremonies being performs
ed in one of the chambers of the
national capitol and the war anu
navy building, resulted in a resola-
ton being introduced in the housc
calling for an investigation of the
subject. The measure was present..
ed by Representative Rainey, Rec
publican, of Illinois.
According to the dispatches Off
cials of the Klan in Atlanta stated
% a correspondent of local paper
that the national capitol and other
government buildings had been used
for ceremonial purposes, naming
midnight of November IA last, as a
specific date. At the time, the dis
patch stated, twelve members of the
Klan No. 1, of the District of Coz
lumbia, in full regalia, initiated into
the organization person holding
high public position"
Current reports at te capitol that
the initiation ceremonies were held
in the office of Representative w.
D, Upshaw, of Georgia, were Wig
orously denied by Mr.. Upshaw's Sec
retary, who declared the Georgia
congressman was out of the city
on November IA, the night the cere-
mony was reported to have been
held.

HICHT0WERLOT
IS PURCHASED
NEyTTOCHURCH
Ru;ns OF Old Structure To Be
Entirely Raced and Church
Building Moved
TOTAL COST TO BE $15o,o0t
Easement And New Sunday
School Rooms Will Be
Added

A radical change in the plans
for tie First Methodist church Of
hnericus, now in course of con-
.ruction, which entails the pur-
.hase of an additional lot Of lana,
100 by 220 feet. adjoining the
present property, is announced
,oday by the church officials.
The properly has been purchased
t!om j. ". Hightowor and the price
,aid is reported at approximately
$500. This lot fronts on Lee
street and adjoins the church prop
uty.
By the acquisition of this addi-
tional land, it is possible to place the
church nearer the center of property
which is nearly $50 feet square and
takes it away from close proximity
to the street.
This also means that the remains
of the burned church, which it had
been the intention of the members
to utilize in rebuilding on the same
site, will be torn down and an en-
tirely new structure throughout will
be the result.
Plans for the church show that it
AAwil consist, in addition to a thor
I oughly modern church, Sunday
school of practically three stories,
inclusive Of the basement. The Sun
day school will be in the rear of the
church and will be thoroughly mod
ern in every way.
The total cost of the structure
will be close to $150,O00 and the
timbers and brick that can be salv-
aged from the ruins will be used in
erecting the new building, thus saw
ing considerable cost in materials.
The main building will be largely
a reproduction of the church that
burned, which was octagonal in
shape and in design one Of the
finest in South Georgia.
The committee will retain as
much of the beauty of the former
structure as possible and at the
same time harmonic with it the ad-
dlhon in the form of the Sunday
school rooms.
Excavations have been started
and will be continued under the en-
tire structure so that the church
viii have basement room through
out.
Under the present plans the new
church will present far more i'm
posing appearance than when it
rested close to the sidewalk.

GEORGE SILENT
ON BONUS BILL
New Junior Senator Does Not An
ncanee Stand On Measure &
In Advance y

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-"Passage
Of Bones Indicated by Poll of Nav
Congress- is the heading ofsthe New
York Times, Nov. is, over tabula-
tion OF the standing of senators and
representatives following a canvass
Of the recently-elected membership,
Tie Times states that an over
whelning preponderance of new
members of the house of represent
tatiyes are in favor of the adjusted
compensation, s"and nearly as great
a pyeponderance Of advocates among
the new members Of the United
States Senate"
The result Of the poll, coupled
with the record votes of those who
remain in congress, shows that adj
justed compensation advocates in
the house are in position again to
override veto if President Hard
ing finds the next bill no more satis-
factory to him than the last.
Assuming that reelected repre-
sentatives will vote on another veto
the same way they did the last time,
and counting the expressions of
those new representatives who re-
piled to the Times query, tabula-
ton of the result gives 292 for adj
justed compensation and 43 against,
with ninety members unrepresented,
either because they are new MEM
bers and did not reply to the query,
or because they are old members
and failed to vote on the question.
The Times says the situation in
the senate is more closely balanced,
if vote on the veto comes up. The
poll gives sixty-three senator's for,
and twenty-seven against adjusted
compensation, with three non-com-
initial, one non-committal at present
but likely to announce his position
one i'll and one whose position IS in
question.
Under the rule requiring two
thirds vote to override veto, the
supporters would have to obtain six
ty-four votes in the senate, the
Times points out, and adds: ''0n the
face of the canvass, it would seem
likely that the supporters might OBJ
tain the additional vote needed"
Of the 18 new senators-elect can
vassed, replies were received from
IA. Nine declared in favor of adj
justed compensation, some of them
adding, as advocated by the Ameri-
can Legion" One, Frank L. Greene
of Vermont, telegraphed that he is
against it. Three others, Bayard,
Of Delaware, Bruce of Maryland,
and George of Georgia, declined to
express an opinion.
The senate failed to pass the last
adjusted compensation bill over the
presidents veto by vote of 44 to
20 of members present. The house
4 overrode the presidents veto 258 tc
54, with 72 paired, 43 absent, and
not paired and Speaker Gillett pres
ent but not voting.

TOTAL OF $4,000
FOR 1922 CROP
NOW IN SIGHT
Ahead OF 1921 Figures ~
3,647 Bales On November
18th
SELLING NOW AT IS IL
Experts Believe County Is St.n
Leading State In Staple
Production

1t is believed that under tie
census report for cotton ginned
up to November Ia, Sumter
county has maintained its lead
over Terrell and is still the banner
county Of the Empire State Of the
South with 1874 bales of cot
ton.
This report brings the total cot
ton produced in this county clos
er to the high water mark Of 22,-
600 which was the most optinlis-
tic prediction of those IN close
touch with the cotton situation in
the early summer.
The November / report showed
Sumter with 20,833 bales as
against Terrell with approximate
" 20,50O bales.
1t is believed that with the last
report at hand Sumter has still
further gained in its state Lead
ership in cotton production.
The census report from Wash
ington shows that on November
Ia the Sumter total exceeded the
1921 total BY 3,647 bales Tbs
report for last year being l7,72T
bales on November IA, Basing
their figuresson the report Of 1921,
Of November IA, the experts fig
ure that Sumter's 1922 crop will
go over $4,000 bales,
The price of cotton during the
past week has varied but it has
been close to 25 cents at all times
and yesterday was quoted at
slightly better than 25 cents.
At the present time there is but
small percentage of the cotton
produced in this county being held,
the balance having been sold, with
the most of it going on the mar
ket, it is said, at an average Of
% cents.
