Of aOravarerd Rabolt FoIiIm! .Crisp Into
the Spralnr*. Chair.
Thu left bind foot of the graveyard
rabbtt played a conspicuous role In the
speakership drama on which the curtain
baa just closed. There is an old ditty
running:
"LIUls drops ofwatrr,
t.lttle (rains of sand,
M ate the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.”
This bears on the rabbit toot In so
much that It thows bow often a small
and apparently insignificant trifle will
work miracles.
Everybody In Americus knows Amos
Cummings, the distinguished statesman
of New York, who was the guest of
judge Crisp last June, and everybody
la prepared to relish the following tele-
grapblo correspondence between two
well-known gentlemen, originating In
the rabbit foot Incident.
When the new* of Hr. Crisp's choice
was heralded abroad, the following tele
gram was forwarded to Washington to
Hr. Cummings:
“Hon. Amos Cvmminus, Wasbixci
ton, D. C.—The Americas rabbit foot
and the barbecue knife did the work.
Shake! Editor Times-Recordkr.”
. The following la the reply that speaks
for Itself
“Washixotox, 0. C.—To Thu Timks-
Recobdeb: The Empire state of the
north salntoa the Empire state of the
south. I told yon so at the barbecue.

Mrs. M. A. Gammage, a widow lady
living near Bethel Baptist church, some
eight miles from Americus, died unex
pectedly on Monday night at her home.
She has been In uncertain health for
some time, but her death was not ex
pected by those coming in contact with
her daily. .
Mrs. Gammage was in her sixtieth
year and has always been a consistent
member of the Baptist chnrob, and was
always engaged in some pious or char
itable mission. She left behind her to
mourn their loss eight children, all
well-known In tkis county. ""
Mrs. Gammage’s death deprives the
community in which she lived of one of
Its most useful members and the church
one of iU strongest pillars.

Citizens’ Beetles Called-A t'nlqne Dis
patch Sent Speaker Crisp.
When the Intelligence of Crisp's ele
vation to the speakership reached Ella-
villc, the enthusiasm was at white
heat, culminating In a citizen’s meeting.
The people turned out en masse and
cheered Crisp's name to the eobo. The
meeting wsa organized with Hr. E. L.
BaldwlL in the ebalr.
Ur. W. H. HcCrory made a motion to
appoint a committee to draft resolu
tlons, and to lend telegram to be sub
mitted to the meeting «<• speaker Chas.
F. Crisp.
A commute comprir'ng E S. Baldwin,
Chairman, W. II. McCnuy, J. F. Woods,
C. H. Smith, C. U. McCrory and C. L.
Peacock were named to frame appro-
priate resolutions.
The following were submitted and
unanimously adopted by a rising vote:
Resolved,J That lit is with a feeling of
great joy and pride that we learn of
'Our Charlie' being elected Speaker of
the House.
Resolved further, That we ever feel a
great Interest in his fntnre achievements
which certainly await him in the politi
cal arena.
Resolved further, That we send him
the fallowing telegram to faintly express
our gratification at his and our success:
“C. F. Crisp, Speaker of the House,
Washington, D. C.: Will ‘our Charlie’
accept the congratulations of bis Schley
county people? E. S. Baldwin,
“M. J. Kent, Chairman.
Secretary.’’ .
The entire assemblage then expressed
it the sense of the meeting to go to
Americus and share In the jubilation in
honor of Charles F. Crisp.
And they came by • huge ^majority,
contributing largely to the suooess of the
demonstrations here last night.
EUavlUe feels peculiar pride in Speak
er Crisp, traceable to the fact that In hie
earlier years he fought the battle of life
among the (tardy, clever and honest
citizens of Sohley county.
Judge Crisp will undoubtedly treasure
the telegram and resolutions for life,
reviving as they do some of the pleas
antest reminiscences of bfr eventful and
brilliant career..

In Marina County—Two Brother-In-Laws
Fall Oat About a Boad aad ths Deadly
Pistol Plays an Iraportsat Hols la *n
other Sad Trazedy.
A bloody tragedy was enpeted in Ma
rion county yesterday afternoon that
shocked the whole community.
Very meager details were available at
slate hour last night, and many material
points connected with the affair are
veiled.
It seems that Messrs. Upton, father
and son, and Elder Upop and the Messi*.
Storey, one of them a brother-in-law to
a Mr. Upton, had some words about the
line a road was tq take.
Matters culminrted Id both parties
drawing their pistols and opening up a
deadly fusilade.
One of the Storeys was shot and kill
ed outright and the other was fatally
wonnded-
The spectacle was an awful one; one
man lying dead on the ground and the
other iii the very throes of death, while
the Tptons stood with smoking revolvers
in hand.
The scene of the killing is near Buena
Vis^a, in Marlon county. All the parties
concerned with this deplorable affair are
highly respectable and stand well In the
neighborhood where they live.
The coroner's jury left Buena Vista
yesterday to sit over the dead body of
Storey, and they may be compelled to
ascertain the facte about tbe death of
both, since tbe wounded man is not ex
pected to live.

This Is somewhat previous. The real

This was carried to Mrs. Crisp by her
