.S1O25.32 IS RAISED
FOR NEGRO SCHOOL
Whites Contribute $639.57 And
Negroes $385.75 To Support
Arncricus Institute

The recent campaign for funds
waged by Americas Institute to sup
port that worthy colored school, net
ted a total Of $1025.32, the trutees
announced today. Of this amount
$639.57 was contributed by white
friends Of the school, and $385.75 by
negroes. The largest subscription by
a single white person to the fund was
$125,O0 and the largest gift by a
group Of eolored citizens that Of the
teachers Of Mckay school who gave
$194.6O to the fund.
The trustees are we'll pleased with
the results Of the campaign and today
requested the Times-Recorder to ex-
press their thanks to all doners for
their contributions Formal ex-
preston of their thanks is given by
the trustees in the following COM
munication, signed by A. S. Staley,
S. S. Humber, B. w. Warren, Brant-
ley Carter and O. c. Green, which
The Times-Recorder gladly publishes
today:
Please permit us through your pa
per to make the following report Of
our financial drive for Americas In
stitute and also to thank the public
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-03-07

for the loyal and generous support
which it gave.
Nothing, it seems to US, proves
more conclusively the high esteem
which the public holds for Americus
Institute than the generous contribu-
lions given it, many of which were
made at keen sacrifice. White peopIe
as well as black were both enthusiast
tic and sympathetic when approached
for support.
We raised in all, S1025.32. OF
yhis amount, the white people gave.
$639.57, and the colored people
$385.75. It was very encouraging in
deed to have white people give from
one dollar to one hundred Twenty
five dollars to the support Of this
drive.
Among the most significant fea-
lures of the campaign was the inter-
est taken on the part of the negro
teachers of Sumter county. For in
stance, the colored teachers of Nc
Kay Hill schools reported S194.60 in
the campaign, and the rural teachers
contributed out Of their meager
salary $20.25.
Herein is Indicated the unity Of
purpose and desire on the part of the
negro people to help themselves il

Sharley, of this city, who has for
years bought and sold cotton, cattle
and hogs, a few days ago, bought OF
D. DeVane, Of Pachitla, car load Of
goats, and shipped them to Atlanta.
Goat-raising is an abandoned indus
try in Randolph county but il Mr..
Sharley's returns are satisfactory,
more of our agricultural friends may
turn some attention to goat-raiaing.
The goat is very prolific animal,
is easily raised, and when properly
dressed, is among the best meats
on the market.

WICHITA, Kan, March Tn
guest OF $5s0o0,O00 in gold, blurred
hree centuries, an adventurous
arty will start early this spring from
Wichita to the rarely penetrated
Mountains of New Mexico on treas
ne hunt beside which tn romances
Of Treasure Island" and Captain
add seem commonplace.
Fred Maroyt, French Canadian
and former employee OF the United
States Geological Survey, and Dr.
Claude G. Baker, wealthy Wichita
dentist and Marquis financial hacker,
viii be the principals in the expedi-
ton.
An ancient tale, cleaned from the
black-letter text Of old French docu-
ments and records and limited at in
obscure and forgotten histories, gave
Ithe treasure seekers their knowledge
Of the rich gold cache.
Says the tale-which history yeri-
lies:
In 1920 the French government
then in control of the vast tract
known as the louisiana territory
|sent a party of 300 to explore, land
between Louisiana and the Pacific.
They went up the Rio Grande Val
ley and travelled inland Running out
of water, they turned back toward
the river. They found territory
which evidentally had been the scene
Iof volcanic disturbance
Scattered on the ground and in
'cracks and crevices in the rocks, they
found gold Almost pure gold. 1t
was everywhere.
But before they could get away
with the metal, the Frenchmen were
|attacked by Apaehes. They beat the
savages off. But fearing another
raid, they buried the gold.
The Apaches returned with rein
Iforcements. They slew all the
IFrenchmen save two. These escaped
made their way back to France and
told their story at Che French court.
Greedy for the yellow metal, the
king sent a powerful expedition to
recover it. But the expedition never
was heard from. The ship doubtless
went down at sea with all hands.
But this tale is not the only clew
to the Treasure. In 1898 two shep-
herds were watching their flocks

GASOLINE TAX NOW IN EFFECT
Consumers Must Pay One Cent a
Gallon; Two Cents Next Year

Beginning last Monday the provi-
sions of the Lednum bill, which calls
for tax of one cent a gallon on gas
Oline for the balance of this year, be-
came operative throughout this State.
Next year, according to this new law,
the tax on gas will be two cents a
gallon. As a result of the enforcement
of this act it is expected the cost of
gasoline to the ultimate consumer will
be advanced one cent a gallon this
year and two cents a gallon next year.
This bill was introduced in the Leg
islature by Charles S. Lednum of Will
mingtOn, and was passed by both
branches. 1t was signed by Governor
Denney on March "a. This tax on
gasoline will have to be paid by the
dealers and it will not be necessary
for the consumer or the distributors
to do anything to comply with the new
law other than the former to paw the
increase. The dealers will be required
to make monthly statements to the
State Treasurer of all the gas sold
during the month and to turn over TO
him revenue of one cent on all gaso-
line sold. They in turn will charge the
distributor the tax so levied and the
distributor will pass this charge on to
the consumer although neither the
distributor nor the consumer will have
to bother with making any reports
on the amount of gasoline used. The
tax does not affect the distributor in
any way. The bill provides exemp-
ton from the tax on all gasoline used
IN motor boats, airplanes and farming
implements. However, it does not ex-
empt the users of such machines from
payment of the tax. When they buy
the gasoline they pay the tax just the
same as an automobile owner but in
order to get a refund of the tax from
the State they must file with the
State Treasurer a statement of the
gasoline they have used during the
previous month in their motor boats
and farming machinery, together with
claim for the amount of the tax
they have paid on such gas. The
money will then be refunded to them
by the State. The revenue derived
from this tax, and it is estimated it
will amount to several hundred thous-
and dollars year will be used for the
upkeep and maintenance of good roads
and to care for the interest and sink
ing fund for the redemption of State
bonds to be issued for new road work.
1t will also be used to refund the
100000 a year appropriation to the
State Highway Department for oper-
ating expenses. This appropriation
was set up in another bill passed by
the Legislature.

FORCED TO DEATH BY SPEEDER

Maryland Motorcycle Officer Was
Chasing Car, Struck Telephone Pole
William c. Lochner, Maryland State
motorcycle policeman, aged % years,
who was found unconscious late We'd
nesday afternoon, along the Elkton-
Newark road about a mile north of
ElktOn with his skull and hip fractur-
ed died at the Union Hospital at Elk
ton Friday morning. He had been on
the state police force but nine months.
The body was shipped Friday after
noon to the home of his father L. +.
LOchner, at Mt. Pleasant, Frederick
County, Md. Lochner was picked up
unconscious by Corporal Ensor and
officer Currie, of the State police. They
were notified of the accident by mo-
torist. 1t is believed the mounted Of
ficer was. chasing speeders and they
forced him off the road to escape. An
investigation is being made which, it
is believed, will lend to the apprehen-
sion of those responsible for the ac-
cident. LOchner's machine, after leav-
ing the roadway, crashed into a fence
and tore it down for a distance of
more than so feet. The motorcycle
came to stop after striking the tele-
graph pole. LOchner was thrown
against the pole. According to Ensor
and Currie, who were with Lochner a
short time before the accident,
speeding car with a Delaware license
crowded Lochner from the road and
caused him to crash into the ditch and
fence. Corporal Lochner was found
by a motOrist who came by shortly
after the accident He saw that the
fence had been torn out for so feet
and, following a track across the solf
field adjoining the road, found Loeb
ner unconscious at the foot of the pole
He hurried back to where he had seen
Ensor and Currie and told them of his
find. EnsOr and Currie taken Loeb
ner to ElktOn where he was placed in
the hospital. Corporal Ensor report
ed to George Mumford, chief investi-
gator for the State police force, that
shortly before the accident he had met
a big coupe, with a Delaware license.
The corporal paced the coupe for a
short distance, when the driver, see
ing that the policeman was following
him, slowed down. He was allowed
to proceed. Corporal Ensor believes
that Lochner met the coupe when il
had resumed speeding and began tC
pace it and that the driver crowded
the State policeman into the ditch
From the appearance of the fence anC
the distance of the demolished motor
, cycle from the road, it apparently was
, going at high speed
