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. WHEATLEY v>. V. ANSLEY. lers and Retailers of high-class Dry Goods at popular prices. 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 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 aurvive that long damp spell without Dr. Ball’s Cough Syrup. 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. Would Ton bo Attractive* Tou must be healthy.

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” t27!-=-127!-^127!

After a brief discussion it was decided to name a prl mary election for Thursday, November 20th, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 4 p. m., at tbe city hall. The outlook now gives no assuranoe but for a quiet and unexciting election without any features of particular Inter cat So far no one bas announced his Intention of offering for the place of any one of the retiring members, bat there lino grounds for alarm on this score, aa will be evidenced as the days draw nigh when the primary loom* up.
