But'nett.
Bheriz PaHBiriorf and Jils depu
ties are busily engaged In summon
!ng Jurors witnesses and others for
the November term of the superior
court, which convenes the third Mon
day In November.
The business of the court
not promise to 1/e very large, as the
el'7 court relb es the superior
most of the civij business and
goo i deal of the criminal, while the
special tepn that was held for the
Rawlings trial also relieved the reg
ular session of that much.
There are two murder cases on
the docket, Ida Lee charged with
killing a negro woman named "Bill 1
Bally u week or so ago, and Jim
Wulters accused of killing a negro
in one of the shanties of the Geor*
tti Southern road eighteen months
ago. Walters was Just arrested
few days ago.
This case is said to be a very ag
gravated one and there is a proba
bility that it will go hard with Wal
ters, as those who saw the killing
declare that it was almost wholly
without provocation.
The following are the jurors who
have been drawn for the November
term:

An Airship will Make its Flight Each
Day and Visitors are Invited to
Take a Trip to the Man in the
Moon.
ihe 2-Bh of October will be hep*
in a few days and the great fair at
.Macon will open with the Governor
and all the editors that can possibly
come, being "Press Day."
The displays are now coming In,
and will be placed in position as
fast as possible for the great fair at
Macon. If the weather continues
good, the crowds will be immense.
Any man who wants to know how
It feels to be up above the clouds
will have an opportunity each day
during the fair at Macon to ascend
In the great airship that makes
dally trips to the clouds. This will
be one of tne great features of the
fair.
It Is said that the Milky Way,
which will take the place of the
pike and midway, nt the Georgia
Farmers' Fair at Macon, will con
tain more attractions than any other
of its kind ever seen in the South.
One of the best things in this array
of features will be Creation, direct
from Lunar Park, on Coney Island.
This feature was visited by over
one-half million people in ten days,
when at Lunar Park.
The presence of Hon. Hoke and
Col. Jim Smith, on Smith Day at the
fair, will be a peculiar and striking
feature. Both of these distinguished
gentlemen will make talks to the
thousands of Smiths, who will
there on that day. Neither will
touch on politics, but Hon. Hoke
Smith will speak on the Smith fam
ily in genera], and Col. Jim will
relate a number of anecdotes con
cerning the Smith family.
The low rates on the railroads
r the Macon fair, the ample
grounds, and the close proximity to
the heart of the city, will bring
thousands of people to the Macon
fair during the great fair which
>pens October 24th.
Macon will be the scene next week
of great activity. The great fair be
gins on the 24th, and continues for
ten days.

Up to a few days ago. however,

Known Citizen o
Passes Away.
Mr. H. B. Anderson, a well known
citizen of Mourrle v died, suddenly
this morning «u, BF
driving out to hit work at Allen &
Holmes' still.
Mr. Anderson arose about four
o’clock feeling ns well ns usual, and
hitched up his mule to his buggy
and got in to drive to his work. His
hat having been picked upln front of
the Southern Hotel It Is supposed
Mint death Htruck him about this
point. His mule stopped for water
near the Hicks & Watson corner,
and here he was found by Mr. A. B.
Hall to be In a dying condition. He
breathed only a few more times and
never spoke. He wns taken back to
his home on lower East Broad
street.
Mr. Anderson has been subject to
neuralgia of the heart for some time
and It Is presumed that this caused
his death.

noon in the Baptist church at three
o'clock. The funeral services were
conducted br Rev A. M. Bennett.
The interment occurred at the city
cemetery at four o’clock.
Mr. Anderson is survived by

“As in usually the case with P 1
frolics there was plenty of liqtf
circulation. The frollcers imbibed
too much and towards Sunday morn

laudable endeavor he had the aid of
his partner and friend, Bryant,

there were mere than a . hundx<
shots fired. The results are‘~Btat<

"After Coleman’s death the affair
broke up. Officers from here went
up to Tourainc Sunday and brought
Bryant back. He is lying In the
county jail with bullets through
both his knees and one of his feet
A good description of Clark has
been sent through the country and

The Fight is Against the Commis
sioners of Dooly County to 8top
Them From Carrying oij Certain
Public Works,
J Oct. 16—thA
certain citizens of Vienna and North
Dooly county are making against the
commissioners of roads and revenues
to stop the performing of certain
public improvements in the new
county of Crisp, has taken on a new
turn by the filing of an application
>r amendment of the rule nisi that
as returnable to Judge Littlejohn
at AmerlcuB last Saturday.
The application is couched in pret-
salt.v language, and charges that
collusion existed between W. C.
Hamilton, chairman of the board of
commissioners, and the officers
Crisp county to bleed the old county
for all It Is worth. It further alleges
that there Is a set scheme between
Chairman Hamilton and Commis
sioner Greer, who live in Crisp
county and are In a majority,
illegally spend the money of Dooly
county on improvements in Crisp.
Chairman Hamilton and Commis
sioner Greer have been cited to ap
pear before Judge Littlejohn next
Saturday and make answer to
appliction. Attorneys for the com
missioners are now drawing the ans
wer. It Is thought that there
points in favor of the commission
ers that will take the wind out of
the application.
Considerable indignation Is felt in
Cordele and Crisp county over the
way the commissioners are being
hounded for performing the plain
duties of their office. Both men are
held In the highest esteem in this
city and section. Mr. Hamilton was
seen this morning, but said he did
not care to talk about the case un
til the answer was made.

peeled io help her very materially.
inis Is the second trip that Mr.
Fender has made with the little girl
to that famous Institution.

Equipment
for brewing a
high grade beer.
In installing our new plant we threw out equipment
better than many breweries still use. Equipment is as important
as excellence in material, and our plant is the most up-to-date
in America.
Machinery cleanses the malt kernels before use; machinery weighs all the-
ingredients, preserving just, accurate relative proportions WITHOUT GUESS
WORK: and then the beer is cooled in pipes, where the air, even “filtered”
air, is absolutely excluded. The wort that is to be
American Queen
takes its course from hopper t > tuns, and after aging, on to the bottling plant through pipe
mechanisms which thoroughly insure its isolation and protection. Another invention pecu
liar to our brewery makts and preserves the carbonic gas to be used in bottling. This adds
immensely to the flavor. Finally, even the machinery used for cleanliness is Cleansed every
day before using. These lavish precautions make American Queen the most ex
pensively brewed beer you can buy at the regular beer price. They enable us to
economize in many departments and return the saving into quality of ingredients.
Always call for American Queen wherever you drink beer.
Watch for our next *d. on the art of brewing.
