SEVERAL CONFLICTING REPORTS
ABOUT A MVSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
A Negro Child CUIau That the School
Teacher Whipped It Severely ladacfnK
IjHUml Which Bccalt Fatally—All Par
tial Concerned Iaterrlewed.
Humor* were rife yesterday on tlie
streets of Americas that the death of a
litUe negro boy named Jimmie Anderson
was duo to • blow received on ;tbe bead
from his sohool teacher, who was en
deavortng to correct him,
A TiuKs-llEconnKR reporter caught a
whiff of these lurid rumors and
soon put himself in possession of all the
feet* obtainable.
Gas Certledge, principal of the negro
public school, wai first seen and asked
to give bis version of the story. He ssld
that the child In question was under the
chargo of Lizzie Baoton and that she, so
far as his personal knowledge extended,
had treated all the ohlldren under her
care kindly and with exceptional Ion-
iency. He consented, howover, to ac
company the reporter to the house of
Lizzie Banton and secure her version of
the tale. *
On being question^#? closely LIzzio
said in regard to having whipped the
child, "I don’t recollect having whipped
him.”
“Are you certain you did not whip
him on either Monpay or, Tucsdayj” she
was asked.
“I whipped several children,’’ she
said, “but I don’t recollect having whip
ped Jimmie.”
She emphatically and Indignantly dis
avowed having struok the child on the
bead, however, and said the child was an
unusually well-behaved and docile one
The child’s home was next visited and
its mother was seen; giving n version
that complicated matters In n considera
ble extent. She said: “Jimmie came
home Tuesday from sohool, and walking
in the front door, passed on through
without speaking or noticing anyone. A
visitor called my attention to this and
asked what was the matter with him. I
called him to me, but he walked to the
bureau and rested hi* head on it I
asked him what waa the matter with
blmandhosaidthe teacher had whip
ped him about some trouble be had bad
with a school-mate. That night at 11
o’clock ho was seized with spasms,which
continued until Wednesday morning,
when be died. He told some children
that (Tuesday) afternoon that the
teacher had struck him on the head, but
that be had not told me, because he was
afraid that I would keep him away from
The doctor examined his head
but could see no signs of a blow. The
child has been subject to spasms, until
up to about n year ago, when they ceased
and he did not have another one until
last Tuesday night, whsn he bad several
in auoceaslon, the last one resulting In
his death.” i
Tun Times-Kecoiideh studiously
gathered every available faot In the case
and sifted matter* to the bottom. There
are soma glaring discrepancies in the
statements respectively of Lizzie Ban-
ton and Jimmie Anderson’s mother,
particularly in regard to the whipping of
the ohlld.
There are also strong grounds to be
lieve that the child may have died from
a recurrence of the paronyms to which
he was subject, and that If he did re
ceive a whipping that It bad no material
effect on him.
Still the mysterloue rumors that are
afloat merit a rigid InveeUgatlon by the
proper authorities, and tha whole mat
ter ehonld be cleared up and the real
facts in the case made apparent.

FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND.
Is tb« Fissr* at Which the Possible Cotton
Receipts are. Estimated.
A Timer-Recorder reporter inter
viewed Mr. Samuel McGarrah on the
possible cotton receipts of Americus,
the quality of she staple, the cause of
the present depressed prices, and other
subjects pertaining to this most Impor
tant of aubjecta In the course of hie
remarks Mr. MeGarrah said:
“I think a conservative estimate of
the possible receipts would be 43,000,
and this will allow ample latitude The
texture of the staple is unusually fine
and the season has been very propitious
for the gathering and marketing the
crop. I do not bellove that over fifteen
per cent, of the entire crop remains un-
gathered. The reason of the shrinkage
in prices is that the port receipts have
been exceptionally largo, over-stocking
the markets and making the supply ex
ceed the demand. The farmers were
prevailed on last year to hold bock their
cotton which they, In a good measure
did, and which was crowded in the mar
ket at the first of this season. In Ameri
cas the general tone of the cotton mar
ket haa been about as steady as else
where and the fluctuations hare not
amounted to anything. Cotton in my
opinion will cUmb higher In January,
which fact involves tha question as to
the advisability of holding back the cot
ton that long.” '■
The cotton receipts In the last few
days are gradually tapering off and they
will before long dwindle down to tub-,
atantially nothing, owing to tha fact
that the crop la nearly exhausted.

The Asphalt Pavements*
A Timks-Rkcordbh reporter inter
viewed a number of prominent business
men yesterday as to their views regard
ing the proposition to pave the hotel
square which was favorably discussed
by the city connctl Monday night, and
published in Wednesday’s Tixes-Rk-
corder ns an item of new*.
The reporter found considerable oppo
sition to this plan, or any move which
would increase the rate of taxation.
An influential citizen, engaged In a
large mercantile business stated “that If
the present tax rate should be raised one
per cent higher his entire property
would be offered for sale and he would
seek investment* elsewhere.”
Many such opinions were expressed,
and there seems little disposition on tha
part of many citizens to favor or en
dorse any publio improvement measure
that isn’t absolutely necessary until
money matters become easier. This is a
question which nlono concerns the city
property owners. The tax payers will
doubtless bo heard from on this issue
and The Times-Recordkr leaves the
matter for them to settle..
The citizens of Americas will shortly
submit to the railroad commission of
Georgia complaint* about the insuffi
cient depot facilities furnished by the
Central road. Seme twenty years ago
the Central railroad constructed the
present depot, at which time Americus
had barely more than one-third of her
present population. At the time of its
construction it waa scarcely sufficient for
the demands on It, and for ten years It
bas been entirely ineffectual for the
steady and permanent growth of the
eity.
The petition will probably show that
waiting rooms are uninviting, and repul
sive, and were originally constructed
without proper regard for the comfort
or convenience of passengers who daily
arrive and depart therefrom.
The vexing question of this vextog
age Is—How did Noah and hla family

Railroad Co.amissiossrt In America*
There were many regrets expressed
that the delayed train from Albany on
Wedneaday afternoon prevented the
Railroad Commissioners being extended
the oourtesies of Americus.
Carriages were in waiting at the S. A.
A If. station and the train was due at
4 o'clock, ample time for the distin
guished visitors to have been driven
over the elty.
The late arrival of the train necessi
tated the abandonment of any public re
ception, so Commissioner* Trammell and
Powers spent n few bourn at the boms
of Judge Fort, after which they were
driven to the Southwestern station, and
took the train for Atlanta. Before leav
ing, however, they wsre shown over onr
depot, end Amerioue’ needs in this line
was fully presented to them by Commis
sioner Fort.

the early morning trains, must get to
the depot before daylight.
That for lack of room it la necessary to
use the platform or approaches to the
depot for baggage, blocking tbe way,
thereby entailing danger to lives.
Americus is tbe most Important point
on the Central and Savannah A Western
railroads, the receipts from frolght and
passenger service being materially larger
than from any point on the line of road,
strengthening our claims to suitable ac
commodations, to protect passengers
from suffering and annoyance, and
freight patrons from loss, delay or In
convenience, which daily arises from a
want of proper and necessary facilities
for receiving and delivering freights.
These improvements hsve been recog
nized as needful by the authorities and
have more than ouce been promised.
This petition will be circulated imme
diately, and there la not a shadow of a
doubt that every citizen approached
will subscribe his name.
This step is a vital one to Americus
and Its necessity Is so obvious that com
ment is needless.
In speaking of the visit of the com
missioners to Albany and the resnlt of
their visit, the Macon News says:
“The railroad commissioners, Horn I.
N. Trammell, Judge Fort and Colonel
Virgil Powers, together with represent
atives of the Rlehmond and Danville,
arrived In Maoon this morning from Al-
bany where they had been conferring
npon the question of securing n union
passenger depot
“Besides the above there were also
present at th if conference representatives
of the S. F. A W., B. A. W. and the S.,
A A M. roads. The Columbus Southern
waa not represented, owing to the rich
ness of G. Gnnby Jordan.
“After going over tbo ground and
carefully investigating the present pas
senger facilities of the different roads,
the commissioners gave the railroad rep
resentatives until the 1st of next Janu
ary to agree upon the ereotion of a un
ion passenger depot Falling In this,
each road will be required to build a
standard depot in four months after that
date.
“A formal order to this effect will be
Issued upon the return of the commis
sioners to Atlanta”
