the character of religion, w. T. Pow
ell. physical director at the Garrett
Biblical Institute, said in a report
10 the annual meeting of the board

among the young people of the
churches.
DIR. Loren Edwards OF Denver as
serted that too much of the instruc-
tion received in Sunday school is
beyond the ability of the youthful
mind to grasp. He advocated close
cooperation between the home and
Sunday school
Bishop Homer Stuntz of Omaha,
former missionary bishop to South
America, said gambling and drink
were undermining the southern con-
tinent. He advocated more Bible
instruction as distinguished from
purely religious training.

vicinity, which sheltered gamblers
and alleged bootleggers several weeks

Three hundred arrests have been
made. Many of these arrests were
on charges of liquor law violations.

STARTS SERVING TERM,
BUT WILL PUSH APPEAL

MOULTRIE, May 3.-Posey Aber-
nathy, former soldier, convicted of
voluntary manslaughter in Superior
court here in connection with the kill
ing of William Jackson, at a country
dance in February this year, his
started sewing the ten-year sentence
imposed upon him. In the meantime
his appeal to the high court for a
new trial will be pushed, according
to his attorneys. They stated that
the confinement in prison was ruin
ing Abernathy's health and that he
expressed a desire to be out in the
open while the high court was con-
sidering his case. Attorneys for ABB
ernathy claim that the evidence did
not warrant conviction
The young defendant claimed that
he acted in self-defense in the slay-
ing of Jackson.

If the Americas girl in, the toy
balloon romance makes good on her
promise said to have been dispatched
to him last night; following the ap-
pearance of the Times-Recorder
yesterday afternoon disclosing the
romance, Donald G. Reeves, of New
Orleans, wihsgreet next Sunday IN
that city the one he planned to wed
there on April "a, his birthday. At
any rate she is said to have wired
him her love and promise to leave
here Saturday, taking her cousin
with her, and asking him to meet
her there. 1t is promised she will
travel on the SIT he sent her, fol-
lowing receipt of which by her he
heard no more, he said
What will happen then is another
conjecture. Presumably, they are to
wed, but it is now rumored that the
girl in the case hes been married
and If she has been married her
acquaintances here say they do not
know anything of it. Some assert
her marriage was never legal and
therefore she is now free to wed Il
she desires.
To prove that he believed in the
Cirl, Reeves, whose letter to the
Times Recorder was published yester-
day, enclosed one of the girls letters
to him, dated at Americas April 6,
1922. In it she addresses him as
Dearest Daddy" and uses vari-
GUS endearing terms such as "Su-
gar" and closes with an avowal Of
love. The letter follows:
"Americus, Ca, April 6, 1922.
dearest Daddy received your
letter yesterday and was glad to hear
from my boy again. Wonder what
you are doing for yourself these pref
ty spring days? AS for me Pm not

CURB UNABLE TO
SUPPLY DEMAND
Too Few Farmers On Hand And
Those Present Sell Out
Speedily

Fewer truck growers than usual
were on the curb market in Americus
this morning and as a result the large
number of women shoppers who were
down town early cleaned out the
supply in short order and many of
them were unable to supply their
wants. All the wagons were gone
within an hour after the curb opened.
The recent dry weather is blamed for
the shortage of vegetables at this
time.
The market fell on the occasion of
the Golden Rule sale today, for the
first time since it was established two
months ago. Owing to the threaten
ing weather this morning, in which a
light rain fell; shoppers from the
country were kept away early in the
day, but bright sunshine toward noon
gave promise of more shoppers COM
ing in during the afternoon.

COUNTY SCHOOL
HEADS CHANGE
Huntington and Concord Princi-
pals To Go To Mercer Com
ing Year

Rev. E. M. Embry, graduate of
Mercer University, has been elected
principal of the Huntington scohol
for the coming year to succeed o. V.
Myers, who will return to Mercer to
study for his degree. Mrs. Sheppard,
of the faculty this year, has heen
reelected.
R. A. Chappell, principal of Con-
cord consolidated school, has been
reelected for the coming year but
has declined to accept, having ar
ranged to attend Mercer the coming
year.
H. P. Harvey, principal of the vi
emma schools, has been elected super
intendent of the Union High school
at Leslie succeeding Prof. B. l..
Bridges who declined to stand for re-
election.
The schools of Sumter county are
recruiting what is declared to be the
strongest faculties as whole that
have ever been gathered together in
the county. Because of the high sal
aries paid, nSaratively speaking,
the rural schools are now able to
draw from the ranks of the best edu-
Gators, it is said, salaries being on
par at least with the city schools and
living costs being considerably less in
the country. As result the schools
are being brought to very high
splape and education is advancing by
leaps and bounds outside the larger
independent school systems.

HALF HOLIDAYS
OPEN THURSDAY
Business Houses Generally To
Close AT | p. M.-Eargain
Events For Forenoon

Americus business houses will be-
gin the summer Thursday afternoon
closing tomorrowsat | O'Clock. Prac-
tically every merchant in the city
has signed the agreement to close,
and business generally will be at a
standstill, with the afternoon devoted
to recreation by the employees and
proprietors alike. There are no
other amusements announced for the
opening day except at the Rylander
theater and the Opera House, where
splendid moving picture programs are
announced, but fishing is fairly
good, gardens need working, lawns
and flower beds require attention,
and auto riding is fair.
For the members of the golf club
will be golfing all afternoon and trap
shooting at o'clock. 1t is expected
that baseball games will be arranged
for subsequent afternoons, and it is
hoped to have the playground SWIM
ming pool in operation very soon, for
the enjoyment of the public.
AS was their practice last year,
many merchants have made special
bargain offers for Thursday forenoon
shoppers. which will prove attractive
and stimulate business. Many of
them last year reported on numer-
Gus occasions, as a result of the
Thursday morning bargain events,
doing as much business in the single
forenoon as for the remainder of the
week, not always excluding Satur-
days. At any rate, the Thursday
morning bargain sales have become a
summer institution in Americas
which are thoroughly appreciated, es-
pecially by the women of the COM
munity.
