SCRAP A LIVELY ONE
FOR A BRIEF TIME
Triangular Fight Occurs Here
Yesterday.
Messrs. Charles A. Schneider, his j
son, Herman Schneider and Herbert ;
Johnson, who is employed at the |
marble works when Mr. Schneider j
has charge, were the principals in a I
lively fisticuff yesterday. Herman ;
Schneider and young Johnson first ;
“mixed it up” at the marble plant, !
and soon thereafter Mr. Johnson and j
Mr. C. A. Schneider got into a fight !
at the postoffice. Several blows pass
ed ere the combatants were separated, j
although neither of the three men j
were hurt to any extent.
MRS. WALTERS VERY
CRITICALLY ILL HERE
Severe Operation is Performed
Upon Her.
Mrs. George W. Walters is criti- j
j cally ill at the Americus Hospital, and j
while greatest apprehension is felt
for her the hope is expressed that she
may survive. Mrs. Walters has been
in very ill health for some time,
and yesterday underwent a surgical
operation for appendicitis and other
! troubles of complicated nature. Four }
: physicians assisted in the operation !
performed. Mrs. Walters' many friends
await anxiously a more favorable turn j
in her condition.
Like so many other politicians in ;
office Gov. Smith was anxious to al- j
; most claim personal credit for the !
I prosperity that comes from fine crops ;
and high prices, so he cheerfully an- i
i nounced to the world that Georgia
| would make over two million hales of
cotton. Frightened half to death by
the protests of the Farmers’ Union
he now declares that the hot winds j
reduced the crop a half million hales j
since he gave out the interview a
few days ago. Being a hot air artist
himself the governor thinks all evils 1
| come from that source. It is amusing j
:lo see, though, how the governor j
i crawls every time the Union or Tom '
Watson speaks.
More protection is needed for wo- j
men, says the Philadelphia papers. ;
anent the sending of a rapist to jail
for fifty-years. If they need protec- j
! tion, with its population of eight j
million whites, what do these papers |
think of the situation in the sparse- 1
ly settled sections of the South. The j
North is gradually being brought to I
face a situation that the South has
faced for the past quarter century. 1
| Before long it will hold out a hand j
of kindly sympathy to this situation. I
Says the Philadelphia Press: “Geor- ;
; gia proposes a repeal of the four- j
j teenth amendment to the Federal !
■ Constitution, but it is not like passing j
, a prohibition law. Georgia will need
1 a deal of help before it succeeds.” .
I The Press does not seem to he aware j
jof the real status of the case. Geor- j
! gla is not asking a repeal of ihe |
j amendment through joint action of j
I the States. It simply insists that the !
| amendment was never legally adopt
ed and is therefore void.
"In England titles are bought with
| campaign contributions,” says the
| Philadelphia Press. But it failed to '
i add that in the United States cabinet ,
I offices are bought in the same way.!
A VERDICT IS GIVEN
ROAD IN DAMAGE SUIT
fen Thousand Suit Against
Central,
FINISHED IN FAVOR RAIFROAD
Suit Result the Killing of Negro Boy
in the Companys Freight Yards
in Americus About One
Year Ago.
The suit of Martin against the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway Co., was con
| eluded in the City Court of Amerieusi
iat noon yesterday and resulted in a
| verdict for the defendant company
after the jury had remained out hut
a short time.
The trial of this case concluded
all business for the day.
The suit was for SIO,OOO for the
j death of a small negro boy, Watt Mar
i' tin, who was run over and killed bv
a car in the freight yards here a year
j ago.
Judge W. D. Kiddoo and Mr. J. B.
1 Hudson represented the railroad,
while Messrs James Taylor and J. A.
j Hixon represented Martin.
The contention of the plaintiff was
! that the hoy was run down by a
| shifting engine while he was walk
ing in the yards and that his death
was due to negligence of the com
pany in not having a watchman at
that point.
The point in question was opposite
the freight depot where there is no
sti’eet crossing and which is not a
public highway.
The contention of the defendant
company was that the little negro,
while walking about the yards, at
tempted to mount the running hoard
of the switch engine and fell beneath
the freight car which it was pull
ing.
There was no blood upon the en
gine wheels, and the company was
not at fault and did not run down.
the boy, according to the verdict of
the jury.
SCARED BY THE COST
OF TRAVEL IN SOUTH
Many Companies Are Cancel
ling Dates.
Americus theatre-goers may not see |
this season as many good attractions i
as heretofore, owing to the fact that
the railroads will no longer make
special rates to theatrical companies
and in the larger cities many dates
are being cut out.
The season has not opened here |
yet, and the first attraction dated ;
will come in two weeks.
So far as the South is concerned j
things theatrical are In a bad way
and unless there is some sort of an |
adjustment the worst is yet to come. !
Railroad fares are eating up the pro
fits of companies and many of them
cant’ make the long jumps and live.
Already companies coming south j
have given up the idea.
Others that have started out have |
been unable to carry the burden of |
increasing railroad fares and still i
others that are losing money will notj
come this way, again under similar ;
conditions. And yet the theatrical
season of 1907—08 has scarcely start- |
ed. •
Truly the outlook is blue for the j
traveling theatrical organizations. I

Resignation of the new institution
will be simply the “Public Library.” j
It is believed that designating the j
institution in this way. in preference |
to naming it for any individual, even {
the philanthropist whose generosity j
made it possible, will tend to popular- j
ize the institution. Before this step j
was taken Mr. Carnegie was com- j
municated with on the subject, and |
replied very frankly that it was im- !
material with him what name was j
used, as his only object in giving li- j
braries was to benefit communities, i

| Lady Gwen Mil's Quest.:
[Original.]
Lady Gwendolin Piereey. the daugh
ter of an earl whose estate was en
tailed to the eldest son, at her father’s
death looked out at the changed pros
pect before her with deep solicitude.
There was little enough income to en
able her brother to keep up the title,
and she must necessarily from having
been the presiding lady of her father’s
household—he was a widower—he rele
gated to what one in America would
call a “back seat.” As to a desirable
marriage, I.ady Gwendolin complained
that the rich American girls had taken
possession of the F.ngllsh field. But it
occurred to her that if the titled men
of England could get rich wives in
America, why should not the titled j
women get rich husbands? She re- j
solved to go to America.
Lad} 7 Gwendolin had a friend, Lucy
Kennedy, also a member of a titled
family, who was desirous of seeing the
world. Lady Gwendolin, who was !
nearly thirty, brought it about that the [
two should visit America together. J
Lucy Kennerly preferred Egypt, but]
since her friend's mind was set on \
America she consented. Had she j
known the object of the visit she would j
not likely have been so complaisant. ;
The two ladies brought with them in- j
troductory letters. Lady Gwendolin, j
who managed her campaign with great j
foresight, secured a number to people
of the commercial and manufacturing 1
classes. Her object was to leave society I
men out of her calculations, rather di- I
recting her efforts to those directly in- j
terested in great money making con
cerns. In this she was wise. Society
men are not usually matrimonially in- |
dined, and the rich manufacturers
who largely are without the prestige
of family no sooner get rich than -they
begin to crave a family tree.
One of the visitors’ letters gave them j
an invitation to visit the owner and
president of the Mix Manufacturing
company. There was no man present
except old Mr. Mix, who was married,
and Lady Gwendolin at once resolved (
to cut the visit short. But Mr. Mix in
sisted on showing them through the
works oi the company. They were ]
obliged to comply—that is, Lady Gwen- j
dolin was. Her friend was quite anx- |
ions to see the plant. The president in
tended to conduct his titled guests him
self, but arriving at liis office found a j
matter awaiting him requiring his im- j
mediate attention, so he turned them
over to the secretary. The secretary j
led them through various workshops !
till he came to the foundry. There he j
turned them over to a workman in i
overalls with grimy hands and a
smudged face.
Now, Lady Gwendolin had no mind
to spend her time in America looking j
at mechanical contrivances explained j
by a greasy mechanic, and throughout
the tour of inspection of the foundry j
she showed her impatience. Not so her
friend. She listened politely to all the j
workman said, asking him many ques
tions. Indeed so minutely did she look j
into everything that Lady Gwendolin ;
snapped:
“Well, if you want to make a foun
dry woman of yourself, I’m going to !
sit here and wait till you get through.”
She threw herself on a bench, raising I
her skirts so as not to come in contact I
with the cinder floor, and waited impa- j
tiently for the end of the inspection.
When Lucy Kennerly could find noth
ing more of interest she thanked her
conductor with her sweetest smile, and ;
the two ladies left the foundry.
“Good gracious, Lucy,” exclaimed
Lady Gwendolin, “how could you be so j
familiar with a common workman?”
“I found him perfectly familiar with !
the manufacturing processes, and all j
such things Interest me,” replied the |
other.
Lady Gwendolin’s American trip was
a failure. She received a number of
bites, but there were no fortunes j
among them, and nothing except a j
fortune would avail. She went back
to England protesting that she would I
rather marry a government clerk than ;
an American. The latter had no re
spect for birth and were too busy mak
ing money to become gentlemen. Lucy
Kennerly, on the contrary, expressed '
herself as much pleased with the eoun- |
try and the people and fancied the way i
many rich men’s sons devoted them- |
selves to active business instead of be- j
coming social puppets.
The fellow travelers failed to see
much of each other for some months j
after tlieir return. Then one day Miss j
Kennerly wrote Lady Gwendolin an- j
nouncing her engagement and asking |
her friend to officiate at the wedding.
It must come off at once, since she was j
to marry one of those busy Americans
who couldn't spare enough time even
to consummate their marriages prop
erly. Miss Kennerly wrote an illegible
hand and the recipient of the note
could not make out the groom’s name.
Lady Gwendolin had noticed while in
America the attentions of a poor so
ciety man to her friend and had warn
ed Lucy against him.
On the day of the wedding Lady
Gwendolin drove up to nawoth, the
seat of Miss Kennedy's father, and
was met at the porte eochere by her
friend and her friend’s fiance. He was
not Mr. Fox. But who was he? His ]
face was familiar, though she could j
not place him. Miss Kennerly was ,
evidently enjoying her confusion.
“Don't you remember the workman
who showed us through the Mix com- !
pany’s foundry?” she asked. “This is !
he—Mr. Mix, the son of the president j
He vyiS learning the business, with a
view V» fitting himself to manage it.”
Lady Gwendolin stood petrified; not
even the two smiling faces before her
could bring a responsive expression to
her own face. Then without a word j
she swept by them and into the house. I
