U. S. TOURISTS SCRATCH
0BERAMMERGAU AND

By GEORGE WITTE,

BY Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1922.
BERLIN, May 31.-Refusal Of the
average American to be dsseed
has already resulted In . heavy
drop in the number Of tourists
from the United States visiting
Munich and Oberammergau. ac-
cording to mournful kilograms re-
ceived from the Bavarian capital
These say that "the number OF
visitors to the Passion Play has
decreased SO greatly that the rail-
road authorities are, running only
one special train a day instead Of
four as was the case the first
week"
Foreigners visiting Bavaria soon
become SO indignant over extra
charges, taxes and arrogant treat
ment that they leave as quickly as
possible. Americans especially
make 1t a point to get out of the
robbers den," as some Of them
call Bavaria, by the earliest train.
The authorities are being besieged
by hotelkeepers, restaurant own
ers and the managers OF the "Pas-
sion Play" to adopt a more reason
able attitude toward visiting for
eigners, as otherwise Bavaria's
tourist season this summer will
be miserable failure.

Voters-$15,OOO To Be Spent
Erecting New Building

Triton. April 8.-Omega' third
effort TO vote school bonds was an
overwhelming success. In the cleo
tion yesterday out of total registra-
ton of 21S, the vote for bands was
147, with only three against. Wo-
men took an active part, 68 of the
registered voters being females. With
cars they hustled out after voters that
were slow showing up, and big pic
mic dinner was spread at the school
building. They had 40 votes to spare
and those citizens who had worked
so long for bond issue for mod
ern school building there are very
much elated over the results. The is
sue will be for $4,000 and it is pro-
posed to begin work on modern
brick building as soon as the bonds
are sold. In previous elections bonds,
lost onre by three, and on by four
votes.

BOND APPLIED
AS REPUBLICAN
Applicant For Davenport's Job
Handed In Republican Creden-
tials, Says News Dispatch

WASHINGTON, April 8-The sew
eral aspirants for the job of d. f.
Davenport, postmaster of Americus,
Ga, whose term of office expired in
February, will be dismayed by the
news that Mr.. Davenports nominal
tion for re-appointment was sent to
the senate yesterday by the presi-
dent. It's early confirmation without
opposition is expected, despite the
fact that Mr.. Davenport is Demo-
crat and his rivals entered as Republi-
cans.
Mr.. Davenport is a brother-in-law
of Congressman Chas. r. Crisp, of
Americus, man much respected in
the house, who holds the esteem of
Senators Watson and Harris and Mr..
Crisp is understood to have been as
sured some days ago by Senator Wat
son that Mr. Davenport's re-appoint-
ment would be supported by him.
Contrary to belief in Americus,
where he was an ardent Watson work
er in the last election, DR.. B. F. Bond,
one of the aspirants, handed in his
credentials as a member of the Re-
publican party in Georgia in good
standing. G.. A. Ames and E. A.
Lockett were the other aspirants, both
of the latter openly Republican sup
porterS.

SALEM S. S. HOLDS
ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES

A year ago the Sunday school es-
tablished home department to
reach those who, for good reasons,
were not able or in position to at
tend the regular Sunday morning
session. The department has enroll
ed nearly as many as the average
attendance at the regular school ard
as a result has encouraged the daily
reading of the Bible and study of
the Sunday school lesson to very
gratifying extent.
Each member pledges thai they
will try and study the lesson thirty
minutes each day and when conven-
lent and possible to attend the reg
ular Sunday school sessions.
During the past quarter the aver
age enrolment was forty. Three
hundred and fifty-five lessons were
studiedswhile there was an aggregate
of 2211 Bible readings besides other
encouraging indications of genuine
interest and active cooperation with
the superintendent and school.
Next Sunday it is planned to have
every member of the department at
tend the main school as it is the reg
ular preaching service and the an
niversary of the beginning of the
home department.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all residents in the community
whether members or not, to come
out next Sunday and participate in
the special exercise and be in one
Of the classes
A competent and very eonsecrated
teacher will lead the class on that oc-
easion and be at the school the sec
ond Sunday in each month to conduct
the class.
While the home department is at
present largely composed of ladies
and in some instances young ladies
and misses there is no logical reason
why the men should not be members
and receive the same benefits of
united, regular study of the Bible
under competent leadership in con-
junction with the main school.
Come out and visit the school.

H. S. CLEECLUB
CONCERT PLEASES
Girls And Boys Show Results OF
Excellent Training Under
Miss Polk

From the moment the curtain rose
Friday evening at the Amerlcus hlgh
school auditorium until the final note
of the orcehstra announced the per-
Torrance ended, there was not q dull
moment in the performance Of the
Americus High School Glee Club and
Mandolin Orchestra.
Beginning with reading by Miss
Martha Ivey, talented member OF
the expression class, who gave in an
inimitable manner What is Hedge.
Hog" to the 18th number, "You
Can't Drive My Dreams Away" By
the Glee club and orchestra, the
numbers were beautiful and spicy
and enchanting all the way.
Divided honors were, perhaps, be-
tween Miss Louise Thayer, who sang
the first part Of THAT Wonderful
Mother of Nine" chorused by the
members of the Glee club, and Miss
Virginia Perry, brilliant high school
pianist, who rendered in remark
able manner difficult composition,
"Valse de Concert" by j. Wieniaw-
ski.
Miss Cornelia Wallis, who possess
es beautiful voice, splendidly train
ed, was an attraction, singing in SUI
perb manner several selections alone
and ensemble.
The Mandolin club played with un-
usual -brilliance, giving as a major
performance number of jazz selec-
tions, which were receied with great
applause.
The japanese play was wonderful-
ly eostumed and enchantingIy rend-
cred by a beyy Of lovely girls, irn-
personating the dainty Japanese girls
in manner and dress. Against
background Of yellow and black, the
high school colors, the play was most
effective. Baskets of yellow poppies
tied with bows of yellow and black
Tulle stood against the columns Of
the stage, and soft lighting effects
added to the beauty of the scene
The overture was rendered in truly
musician-like style, all traces of ANA
teurishness being lost in the master
ly manner in which the orchestra
rendered each part.
A special hit was made by Misses
10y oict iAdbHtillie uEueT, lOf-
nelia Wallis, Agnes Wooten, Ruby
Harris and Louise Thayer, when they
gave "By the Waters of Mime
tonka."
The performance was directed by
Miss Ella NJ. Polk, director of music
lin the city schools, and to her I'M
: tiring efforts, aided by the splendid
assistance rendered by each and ev-
cry member of the organization, is
due the remarkable success of the
evening. A gratifying amount was
realized from the sale of seats, and
today Miss Polk and her pupils feel
that Amerieus has indeed evidenced
the possibility of good music and
splendid teaching being given the
/ city schools.

INTEREST HIGH
IN M0REE TRIAL
Doerun Men To Go On Trial AT
Moultrie Monday For Burn
ing Dismuke's Barn

MOULTRIE, April Sab and F.
M. Moree, brothers, will go to trial
in Superior court here Monday on an
indictment charging them with ar
son, unless the case is postponed. In
terest is high in the coming hearing.
The charges against the two men grew
out of the burning of barn on the
farm of James Dismuke, near Doe
run few weeks ago. 1t is alleged
by the state that the barn was broken
into. corn stolen from it and that it
was then set on fire to hide the theft.
The Morees also have been indicted
for larceny and the state expects to
try them on both bills. The evidence
against the men is said to be largely
circumstantial. The fire occurred in
broad daylight and wagon which
had a peculiar tread was tracked a
few hours later from the Dismuke
barn to the home of Alb Moree. When
officers arrived Alb Moree was said to
have been unloading the wagon of
corn, which he is alleged to have
stolen from the Dismuke barn.
1t is the first time tnat white
man has been charged with arson III
Colquitt county in many years, and
the outcome of the case is awaited
with considerable interest.
Poey Abernathy, former Service
man, who is charged with murder al
so will be tried next week The case
against him will be sounded Tuesday
and it is expected that both sides
will announce ready. Abernathy is
charged with the responsibility for
I the death of viii Jackson, who was
shot to death at dance in the west
ern part of Colquitt county early in
February this year. He does not
deny 9hoiting Jackson, but claims he
Eacted in self-defense. The homicide
was witnessed by several guests at
the dance and all of these have been
summoned to testify. The trial Of
| the case probably will take two days.
The grand jury, which has been in
session this week, returned 80 in
dictments, nearly half of which
| charge violation of the prohibition
| laws.
