MEXICO CELEBRATED HER
11BTH ANIWRI
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16.—The hun
dredth and sixteenth anniversary ;-f
the proclamation of Mexican inde
pendence by Hidalgo at Dolores in
1810 was observed with with elaborate
ceremonies throughout the republic
today.
li the capital, where nearly every
building was a flutter with flags and
decorated with the national colors, mil
itary and civil organizations paraded
through flower-strewn streets. Bands
played throughout the day in every
park and a chorus of a thousand voices,
trained for weeks sang patriotic songs.
In addition to the formal speeches
and meetings, a program of sports
modeled closely after the program of
the Olympic games drew athletes from
all over the country although the
larger part of the tremendous list of
entries came from the schools and col
leges in or near the capital. A field
was laid out for track and field events,
tase' a’l games, basketball and associ
ation football matches.. General Car
anza donated thirty thousand pesos to
provide the equipment.
Batt all has secured a wide hold
trroughc t Mexico and an excellent
f -me i ’aye ’ here.
A gala performance at the Opera and
a special bull fight also drew large
crowds.

PROHIBITION FIGHT
MAY BE COMING NOW
ATLANTA, Ga„ Sept. 16—Political
prophets who see a year ahead are
making the prediction that the next
session of the Georgia legislature will
witness another hard-fought prohibi
tion battle, the issue being whether or
not the present Georgia laws shall be
referred to the people.
John W. Bale, of Floyd county, who
introduced a local option bill in the
general assembly of .1915 and who
fought the prohibition bills in the tem
perance committee of the house and
on the floor of the house, has been re
elected to the house from Floyd county,
notwithstanding the fact that Seaboarn
Wright, one of the old w r ar horses of
prohibition in the United States an!
i Georgia, resides in Rome, and is con
j sidered a strong factor in Floyd coun
| ty politics.
In view of the fact that Hugh M.
Dorsey was the only one of the four
gubernatorial candidates who strad
dled the fence on the prohibition issue,
bis position being that he favored no
change in the law without “referring
' the question to the white voters,” it is
i expected that Dorsey’s election will
be made the pretext for an assault up
on the prohibition laws.
This assault will probably take the
form of a bill to refer the whole mat
i ter to a vote of the people, which was
i one of the numerous proposals ad
vanced in the legislature of 1915 in
an effort to block the passage of the
laws. In denouncing this proposal on
the floor of the house, one of the pro
hibition leaders declared it was noth-
I ing but a scheme to let the liquor inter-
I ests and breweries into the state with
I a prodigious slush fund to debauch
the purchasable vote.
i
' will always remember the splendid
| examination passed by Woodrow Wil
son when he was admitted to the bar,”
I
says Judge Hillyer, who is at the head
of the Woodrow Wilson campaign club
ci I ulton county.

FRIENDS ALL OVER STATE
I ARE COMPLIMENTING BRITTAIN
ATLANTA, Ga„ Sept. 16.—From all
over the state Superintendent of
Schools M. L. Brittain is receiving let
ters and telegrams of congratulations
upon the success of his re-election
campaign. In many of the communi
cations the fact is being commented
upon, though, that Mr. Brittain really
did not campaigning at all. save the
mere announcement that he was stand

and this in the face of the tact that a
personal fight was pitched on him from

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
THE OPERA HOUSE |
Tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 18th, a re-;
turn engagement of that wonderful
picture “The Two Orphans,” featuring
an all star cast, Theda Bara, William
Shay, Jean Sothern and others. A
great many people are asking why are
you playing return dates on so many
of your pictures? That is a question
that is easily answered. In the first
place, business is better, the patrons
enjoy a good picture better the second
time, and those who haven’t seen it
realize that it is something out of the
ordinary and must have merit to stand
a return date, and accordingly they
make their plans to see it.
Only pictures of merit can stand a
return date, and there are no disap
pointments. In the picture Thursday
the management has booked another
gem. “Dr. Rameau.” a William Fox
production featuring Frederick Perry,
Jean Sothern, Stuart Holmes, Doro
thy Bernard, Geo. Allison and others
in a modern society drama based on
the great play and novel by George
Ohnet. The above cast is one of the
strongest ever brought together upon
the screen.
Friday Billie Burke will be seen in
the 11th episode of “Gloria’s Romance.”
This serial gains new patrons with
each episode, and how could it do
otherwise, with such a charming star
and cast. A story and photography.
“The ne’er-Do-Well,” by Rex Beach,
the Selig spectacular drama filmed by
the Selig Polyscope company, features
Wheeler Oakman and Kathlyn Wil
liams and an all-star cast.
The hero is Kirk Anthony, a college
graduate and veteran football player
and since graduation the coach of his
university team. On the evening fol
lowing a football victory the last of
the season, Kirk and others start out
to celebrate. Late that night he finds
himself on shipboard, and then he
finds himself on shipboard and when he
awakens he is without money and with
cut baggage.
During the voyage, Kirk becomes ac
quainted with a woman —a Mrs. Steph
-1 en Courtlandt —whom he learns to ad
mire very much. She is really a diplo
matic agent of great influence. One day
while Kirk is out hunting he meets in a
forest bower, a Spanish girl who is
known only at “Chiquita.” He falls des
perately in love with her, and tries
vainly to discover her identity.
The story of his making good, of his
winning of Chiquita despite the coun
ter-plottings of Mrs. Cortlandt, of the
clearing of his name, and of the final
decisive intervention in Panamanian
affairs of old Darwin K. Anthony, is
strongly engrossing and varied by
many richly humorous episides.
Chiquita is by far the most charm
ing feminine character Rex Beach has
drawn, and Kathlyn Williams as Edith
Cortlandt, is an exceeding, convincing
and fascinating type.
“The Ne’er Do Well,” will be shown
on Monday, Sept. 25th at the Opera
House.
Georgia bitterer and more vigorous
than has, perhaps, ever been made on
a statehouse officer. Despite this it is
notable, in recalling the returns as
they came in, that Mr. Brittain was, a 1 !
the while, quite one-third ahead of
his opponent all the way through, and
at no one time did the percentage of
the returns as they came indicate
other than that Mr. Brittain had won
out handily.
SOCIAL WORKERS TO
MEET INJWAGON SOON
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 16. —A confer
ence of social workers to which all per
sons actively engaged in charitable
work in Georgia are invited will be
held in Macon on October 27, 28 and 29,
I
for the purpose of discussing social
problems and forming an organization
which will be affiliated with the Na
tional Conference of Charities and Cor
j i ections. Plans for entertaining the
conference are being worked out by
(the Ministerial Union of Macon, with
the co-operation of the Macon Conven
tion bureau.
The invitation to attend the confer-
I
ence includes ministers and church
workers, associated charities, organiz
ers and workers, probation officials,
officers of public institutions for the
uplift of the poor, and members of
Women’s clubs who are directly inter
ested in social welfare.
The date set for the conference fol
lows immediately after that of the Fed
eration of Women’s clubs of the state,
which will draw women f r om all over
Georgia. A number of speakers will
address both bodies, and delegates to

without inconvenience.
The conference will be held pri
marily for the discussion and promo
tion of social welfare in Georgia. Miss
Agnes McKinna, secretary of the or
ganizing committee, undertook to
arouse favorable sentiment in the state
because, of Georgia’s backwardness
along this line. McMcKinna was for
merly district superintendent of the
Georgia Children's Home society, and
later, in connection with her proba
tion work in Columbus, created and su
perintended the Muscogee Detention
Home for Children.
Miss McKinna points out that there
are only two states in the South with
out social welfare conferences, these
being Georgia and Mississippi, while in
the entire country there are only nine
others.
