AMERICUS MAN GIVEN
PLACE IN ATLANTA
As Successor to Master Mechanic
Poole.
Announcement is made here of the
appointment of Mr. J. J. Haulin as
master mechanic of the Seaboard Rail
way shops in Atlanta, the position
held by Mr. Ad. J. Poole prior to his
promotion recently to general sup
erintendent of motive power for that
system. Mr. Hanlin was formerly
with the Seaboard in Americus, but
more recently has been in Birming
ham. His Americus friends will be
glad to learn of his promotion.
LARGE SUITS ON TRIAL
NOW IN CITY COURT
Death Claims In Consider
able Sums.
FOR ACCIDENTS NEAR AMERICUS
Seaboard Sued for $20,000 for
Death of Bert Witt-Central is
Sued for the Death of a
Negro Boy Here.
In the city court of Americus yes
terday Judge Chas. R. Crisp called
the case of L. R. Witt versus the Sea
board Airline Railway, a damage suit
claim grow ing out of the death of the
young son of the plaintiff, Bertram
Witt, about one year ago.
Twenty thousand dollars is the
amount tlie plaintiff seeks to recover
from the defendant company, and the
trial of the case occupied the greater
portion of the session.
Col. E. A. Hawkins represents the
railroad company, while Judge J. A.
Hixon represents Mr. Witt.
Fell From Band Car.
Bertram Witt, last year, was work
ing on the Americus section of the
Seaboard as employe, and was thrown
from a handcar, sustaining a cut
upon his head. He died about a week
later, and the accident is alleged as
the cause thereof.
Young Witt, it was said, returned
to his work upon the day after the ac
cident and worked on for two days.
For this and other reasons the de
fendant company denies that death re
sulted from the accident.
The case created considerable in
terest. It will be concluded some
time this morning.
Woman Asks for Damages.
Another damage suit case, in w’hich
the plaintiff wants SIO,OOO, will be
heard today. In this case the Cen
tral Railway is made defendant, and
Henrietta Martin, colored, asks dam
ages for the death of her son, a boy
of tender years.
The boy was run over by an en
gine in the Americus freight yards
some time last year. The plaintiff
is represented by Messrs. James Tay
lor and J. A. Hixon, while Judge W.
D. Kiddoo and Mr. J. B. Hudson rep
resent the railroad company.
This case will likely be concluded
today as well.
, Jail Cases on Monday.
Judge Crisp will take up the crim
inal docket Monday in order to try
the jail cases only. There are eight
prisoners awaiting trial, and after
these cases are disposed of the court
will take a recess, as previously sta
ted, until October 21st.
None of the bonded cases will be
taken up until the October adjourned
session, only the jail cases being tried
right now'.
PICKED UP A SNAKE;
PUT IT RIGHT DOWN
Proved Not to be Rubber Goods
Supposed.
Mrs. Frank Stanley, of Americus,
was given a fright yesterday which
will cause her to cut out rubber
snakes from the list of household toys
for some time. There was such an
article about the house, and seeing it
coiled upon the top of a trunk, as
she supposed, Mrs. Stanley picked
; it up. And then she dropped it right
; away, before anyone told her. As
| she seized the supposed “rubber”
| snake it sprang into a coil around
her arm, but was quickly thrown off
| by the terribly frightened iady and
killed upon the floor. The snake was
of the species known as rat snakes.
It. is oftimes seen lurking in houses
in search of prey, and is not ven
! onions. The snake picked up by Mrs.
I Stanley was three feet in length and
! very prettily marked.

/ Many automobiles used in Ameri
cus do not reflect the progress of the
city. Will not some “autoist" buy an
up-to-date new one? J
Americus buyers are paying 11 1-21
cents for cotton today, against 91
cents paid on Sept. 20 last year, a dif
ference of $12.50 per bale.
Five hundred bales of cotton, even,
made up yesterday’s warehouse re
ceipts in Americus. Surely we
should receive 700 today.
Perhaps the board of education
knows best, but surprise is express
ed at the lack of promotion among
teachers in filling vacancies.
Buyers were more anxious for
cotton yesterday than at any time
within a week. And they paid 11 1-2
cents for it here very freely.
