LOSS OF DIVIDEND
CAUSE OF ALARM
Holders of Central Secu
rities
TAKE ACTION FOR SELF PROTECTION
Fearful Thai Earnings Will Be Divert
ed for Improvements Rather
Than Payment of- Div
idends.
ATLANTA, July 27.—Certain bond
holders of the Central of Georgia
Railway are considerably alarmed by
a notice sent out by the new manage
ment of the Central that no Interest
would be paid to the holders of in
come bearing bonds issued by the
road on the second Monday in Aug
ust, when the next installment of
interest is due, hut that the income
of the road would' be used to improve
the road and in the purchase of equip
ment.
For this, a bill giving bondholders
the same voice in the management of
the road as the holders of common
stock has just been introduced in
the senate by Senators Overstreet and
Born.
The bill in question is designed to
protect holders of corporate sureties
where the income is pledged to se
cure the same and is intended to
prevent the ‘ freezing out" of the
small holders of income bearing
bonds of the Central railway.
Os $15,000,000 in 5 per cent bonds
issued by the Central it is conserva
tively estimated that fully $2,000,000
worth of bonds are held by people in
Georgia, citizens of Savannah hold
ing over $1,000,000 of these securities,
while at least half a million are held
in Atlanta.
Already the income hearing bonds
of the Central, formerly quoted at
00, have fallen to 00. It is pointed
out that the only security the holders
of bonds have is the income of the
road, and if this is used to improve L
the road and buy other properties the
bonds wi 11 become almost worth
less.
As the law now stands the hold
ers of $15,000,000 in bonds are abso
lutely at the mercy of the holders of
$5,000,000 of common stock.
The past year has seen a large
amount of income bearing bonds by
the Central railway purchased by
Georgia citizens as an investment and
by Atlanta people.
All have become greatly aroused at
what they believe is an effort on the
part of the management of the road
to depress the value of their securi
ties by withholding the income, al
though it is pledged to pay interest
of the bonds.
Should the hill introduced by Sen
ators Overstreet and Bond become a
law', it will not only afford a protec
tion to the holders of the ’Central 1
railway bonds, hut will also give pro- |
tection on all securities issued by
companies transacting business in or I
under a franchise of the state.

On Thursday next, August Ist, the

anticipation of this law the depart

These people are anxious to brand

BEAR HUNTED TO A FINISH
Huge Animal is Killed Almost in Suburbs of Ameri
icus.
' During prohibition days eighty-five
blind tigers had lairs in and near Am
ericas, and other vicious animals
flourished as well, but the record was
broken yesterday when Mr. John M.
Renew killed a huge black bear in
the city's suburbs./
The bear was a'whopper, and when
brought in (luring the afternoon hun
dreds of citizens viewed the carcass
on Forsyth street.
Bear hunting in Americus is some
thing out of the ordinary.
The presence of this particular
bruin in the dense recesses of Mucka
lee swamp has been known for
three weeks, and ■ within that time
several hunting expeditions have set
forth upon his trail.
The footprints of old bruin have
been plainly seen on the creek banks
and in fields of corn, where he fat
tened upon the tender roasting ears
and topped off a good meal with a
few of Feagin’s big watermelon’s and
fine cantaloupes,
Yesterday ' John Renew, whose
prowess as a hnuter is widely known,
went after the bear in earnest.
Assisted by two negroes and a
pa%k of hounds Mr. Renew struck
bruin’s trail at 7 o’clock and follow
ed it until noon, when the old corn
thief was cornered in the road near
the Sheppard place,
Then ensued a fight which would
have put Joe Hillius and Seab
Wrighteous and the entire legislative
bunch to the bad.
The bear was a scrapper, and box
ed the jaws of the hounds as they
rushed him in their innocence of
bruinic tactics. The fight was not
according to Queensbury rules but
rather on a catch-as-catcb-cali basis,
with the bear on top.

up to the specifiications as filed by
the manufacturers with the Depart
ment of Agriculture will come under
the arm of the law and be liable to
prosecution.
In explaining this law Capt.
Wright, Assistant Commissioner of
Agricluture, said:
"Instead of selling tags for inspec
tion of food stuffs, as is now the
case with fertilisers and cotton seed
meal, sold in the State, we are is
suing inspection stamps, at the rate
of twenty cents a ton to be placed on
all food stuffs sold in Georgia.
The price on fertilizer inspections
is ten cents a ton, at present. We
are going out to see that all food
stuffs shipped into Georgia are as
pure as the specifications filed with
us claim.
“Under this head oils used as
condiments will be tested. The large
quantity of olive oil, sold and used as
a condiment, is nothing but our own
pure cotton seed oil under a French
brand. We contend that cotton seed
oil its purer and better from a vege-,
table standpoint than olive oil, and
tills inspection will make each oil
stand on its own merits.
This department has all along
stood for cotton seed oil as the pur
est oil known and State Chemist Mc-
Candless is on record to tlyis ef
fect,”
This act may save their votes
through one niore election.
Look After State Road.
The state legislative committee on
railroads spent today in Chattanoo
ga, conferring in regard, to the pro
posed extension of terminals of the
Western and Atlantic Railway to the
Tennessee river, a question which is
now before the legislature.
As yet the Assembly has not pass
ed a single one of Governor Smith’s
reform measures as set forth in the
Macon platform.
Finally a load of buckshot put
bruin out of the ring.
When exhibited in town tlie bear
attracted more attention than does
the real Teddy article in Washing
ton. Merchants and clerks threw
down the yardstick and sprinted with
their excited customers to the last
resting place of the defunct bruin,
Fully 5,000 people crowded about
tlie spot, and when Prof. Kelly ex
hibits the snapshots he took of the
exciting scene not a few .prominent
citizens will see themselves elbowing
with the black brother from the reeds
to catch a glimpse of the thrilling
scene.
Mr. Renew, gun in hand, was pho
tographed as he stood on the hind
quarter deck of the corpse, while
city and county officials pushed and
jostled for a point of vantage.
An old maid in the party of on
lookers wept copiously as she re
flected upon the demise of such a
valiant hugger, even tho’ a bear.
Old men, who were here when the
Indians shot bears where the court
house now stands, told thrilling lies
of hairbreadth escapes, while a ner
vous prohibitionist told *of how ten
bears and a giraffe chased him home
last Saturday night.
Later in the day, when curiosity was
fully appeased, the bears’ ulster was
removed and the carcass sliced into
tempting steaks.
Mr. Renew is confident that num
erous other bears infest the locality
where this one was killed, and these
will be “developed” to good purpose
during the cotton-picking season
when mullet suppers and negro
camp-meetings interfere with work.
it’s an ill wind, and a dead bear,
that blows no good.
Removed to New Quarters.

CHESTING OF WEEVIL
IS SEEN IN COTTON
Insect Pest is Ravaging the
Fields
[ MICH DAMAGE HERE IN SUMTER
. Will Result from Ravages of This
Pest, Which Stings the Bolls
and Decay Follows—Already
Over the County.
j Farmers coming to Americus yes
-1 terday from neariy every portion of
the country report the presence of
the dread weevil, which last year
ravaged the cotton fields here. Great
damage was done then, and even
greater loss apprehended this year/
On scores of plantations the \ree
vil is doing its deadly work.
The insect crawls upon the grown
boll and stings it, making a puncture
so slight that it cannot be seen. It
does not enter the boll, merely insert
ing its poisoned lance.
Soon the boll begins to decay, and
while apparently sound from exter
ior view is in time but a rotten mass.
In this way entire cotton fields are
infested by the small but deadly in
sects which is causing incalculable \
damage.
it is stated by farmers that last
year some of their fields that prom
ised p yield of a bale of cotton per
acre did not net a bale to five acres,
as the result of the visitation of the ,
pest. And it is greatly feared that
history may he repeated this sea
son.
Just now the crop prospect is very
promising, but the presence of the
deadly weevil may cut the yeild down j
considerably.
