NEW COMES
OLD GOES OUT.
City Administrations Change Hands
at City Hall Tonight.
Mr. J. T. Roberts Succeeds M. A.
Briggs as Mayo*-—Reports to be
Made and Officers Elected for the
Ensuing Year—Politics are Lively
•n Consequence Today. '
(From Thursday’s Dally.)
Mr . John T. Roberts succeeds Mr
M. A. Briggs as mayor of the grow-
Id:, city of VaMosta tonight Ar. en
tire new boarl of councilmen, except
M. R. Ousley, will succeed the c.d
' beard.
Both boards will meet at the ci v
ball at eight o’clock and the new
bon’d will be sworn Into office. The
swtnring-in will take only a few
moments of lime.*
The chief interest centers in the
imports that will be submitted by
the out-going administration and in
the officers and committemen who
are to be named by the new admin
istration.
The reports from the oil adminis
tration will come from the finance
committee, the chief of police, fire
chief, city clerk, water works com
mittee and the mayor, though all of
these reports may be embraced In
the report which Mayor Briggs will
make. The mayor and the various
committees have been busy for a
day or so getting their reports In
shape.
It is also understood that the new
administration will elect a number
of officers tonight, Including a city
clerk, police officials, city engineer,
sanitary Inspectors and superinten*
vlent of the water works.
• Just who will he elected to these
places remains to be seen, though
the local politicians have been doing
valiant service for their favorites
for the past day or two. One of the
“knowing ones” predicted this morn
ing that there was a strong proba
bility that the present officials would
be retained, temporarily—“on trial,”
as it were.
KILLED BY A WOMAN.
Taylor County Woman Kills One and
Wounds Another Man.
Reports were received here this
week from Perry of the killing of
one man and wounding of another by
a woman several miles below that
I^lace. The tragedy occurred one
day last week. ,
The two families lived close to
gether, but had been on bad terms
for some time on account of some
hogs. On the day the tragedy oc
curred the two men went to their
neighbor’s house, but there was no
one at home except the woman. The
old difficulty came up and resulted
In the woman getting a shotgun and
shooting at the men.
Both were wounded and one dies
soon after but It Is thought the oth*
er wll recover. The above Is the
substance of the reports received
here.—Quitman Free Press ,
WAS IT A ROBBER
AFTER HIM?
Vdettes Get New Equipment.
The Valdosta Videttes, on Wednes
day, received a lot of new equipment
from Adjutant General Harris, most
of it being for use at encampments. ,
Among the new equipment were fifty j
tents for use in the field, some field |
desks, cooking utensils and fifteen :
pairs of trousers.
The company Is getting ready for
the encampment w’hich Is to be held
at Chickamaugu this year and which
will be one of the most Important oc
casions they have ever taken part
in. The' Idea with the officials Is to
increase the efficiency of the state
troops as much as possible and the
encampment this year will give them
a taste of army life, as It- is In actual
war.
The Videttes have also acceptel
an Invitation to go to Savannah on
Washington's birthday and take part
in the big military parade there.
, Only Two Weeks Remain.
Chairman McKey, of the County
Commissioners, Is kept busy these
days writing receipts for parties who
wish to pay the commutation tax of
$2 required of those who ar e sub
Ject to r fad fax.
After March the 1st the books will
be In the hands of hired collectors
and $2.50 will have to be paid. The
commissioners agreed upon a dis
count of 50 cents for those who
would call and settle, as that make3
less work and less expense than
where collectors have to be employ
ed to do the work
Mr. Etta Ham Put up a Game of
Bluff That Worked, Though he is
Confident That he Would Have
Been Robbed Had His Suspicions
Nait Become Aroused.
(From Thursday’s Daily.)
It was reported here this morning
that a highwayman male an attempt
to hold up Mr. Etta Ham w*litle on
his way home last night.
r. Ham attended the tent show
on the city hall square and started
home with Mr. J. E. Gornto and
other parties. The crowd thinned
out at the homes of different mem
bers of the party and Mr. Ham fin
ally was left by himself.
Later,«. he noticed a suspicious
man walked quickly behind him.
He stopped and the man stopped, but
when he started again the man be*
hind him started. Mr. Ham became
convinced that the man was up to
some mischief, so he decided to
make a bold stand. Throwing his
hand to his pocket as if to draw a
weapon he dared the man to move,
but the suspicious character did not
fake the dare. On the contrary, he
fled front the scene with Mr. Ham
close behind him.
The man, who was unknown to
Mr. Ham, carried a large stick and
Mr. Ham Is confident that It was his
intention of knocking him down and
robbing him at a darker place on
the street. Several night robberies
have occurred In that section in ttie
past few years.

Big Increase Expected at a Meet.ng
of the Lumbermen.
Local lumber dealers are of the
opinion that quite an increase will
be made In the price of lumber at
the meeting of the Georgia and Flor
ida Saw Mill Asoclation which is to
be held in Jacksonville next week.
• It will be remembered that at the
meeting of the association held last
month, an Increase was discussed,
but it was decided to let the price
list remain the same until the Jack

her since that .time has greatly In*
creased in the west and other sec
tions. and It Is expected that It will
be carried up by the Southern lum
bermen.

ment* Here.
(From Thursday’s Dally.)
Several prominent officials of the
Atlantic Coast Line were In the city
yesterday afternoon looking over the
interests of the road here and laying
plans for Improving present condi
tions. Owing to the Immense traffic
nlong the line, the track facilities
here, which have been double I and
tripled in the last few years, are fur
too small for the business, and In
creasing the facilities Is one of the
martens that these officials came to

and almost helpless and also subject,
to having fits. It Is believed from

ing wood on the fire and was a vie
tlm to one of the fits that often selx
ed him and was burned U> death be
fore he became conscious enough to

It is also understood that the depot
problem is worrying the officials a
great deal, as file depot Is so crowd

to get goods In or out of It almost.
An official of the road said this
morning that the claims that the

breakage, owing to tho congested
con lition would more than
pay for a larger and better structure.
Tho officials of the road promised
yesterday to do all In their power to
relieve this crowded condition, and
that, too at once.
