The Georgia Railroad Commission
is attempting to run the railroads of

being “drunk with power."

In a Washington news letter it is
stated that President Roosevelt has
abandoned his idea of succeeding Sen

advantage that the writer’s finances
an increased by these little defeats.
JAIL THE OFFENDERS.
Two great newspapers have ceased
beating around the bush and have!
sounded the real remedy for financial j
juggling which is responsible for the |
recent conditions.
The North American says:
"For a year the North American
stood alone among the leading news- j
papers of America in declaring that
the responsibility for every symptom
of financial stringency and depression
rested squarely upon a small group
of criminals, whose proper place was
and Is, behind the bars of a prison.”
What a magnificent object lesson to
prospective "high financiers” to see
the leading apostles of the cult be
hind prison bars. Fines and condem
natory resolutions are like throwing
tufts of grass. The certainty of a
long residence behind iron bars is
worth ten million fines. The men who
bring disaster to hundreds and
thousands of innocent people should
be sent to the penitentiary instead of
being allowed to continue their nefar
ious practices in new fields.
The New York World says: “This
sentiment carries its lesson to Gover
nor Hughes quite as much as to Presi
dent Roosevelt. Must honest business
forever be at the mercy of a handful
of financial bandits who ought to be
in jail, and some of whom undoubted
ly would be in jail if public officials
charged with the enforcement of the
law really enforced it?
‘‘Must the United States Treasury,
the New York Clearing House and
Mr. Morgan be prepared to adopt em
ergency measures for the restoration
of public confidence whenever the
railroad swindles of a Ilarriman have
alarmed the country, or a Ryan has
been caught looting a traction sys
tem, or creatures like Heinze and
Morse are found to have been using
the money of their depositors to fin
ance their own gambling adventures?”
These are plain words hut they will
have the endorsement of three-fourths
of the people of the United States.
Events have followed each other thick
and fast in the last few years and
exposures have been followed by ex
posure, and still the end is not yet.
Similar views to those of the two
papers named are taken by a London
paper which says:
“President Roosevelt is indeed stir
ring up a dangerous dust in his clean
ing of the financial house of the Uni
ted States. The pity is that in his
zest for reform and purity in finan
cial methods the few responsible for
the foulness in various directions can
not be given a place inside the four
walls of a jail.
In the interest of the people, whose
laws they have defied and whose ruin
they have threatened: Jail the offen
ders.

Sumter’s Veterans to Au
gusta Going.
#
Beneath the folds of their ragged
old battle flag and carrying as proud
ly the handsome new banner of Camp
Sumter, 642, U. C. V., the old soldiers
of Americus and Sumter will march
to the inspiring strains of Dixie
ten days hence. Camp Sumter's dele
gation, occupying a special car kindly
tendered by the Central Railway, will
leave Americus on Nov. 11th, spend
ing two or three days in the Fountain
City with their old comrades-in-arms.
Next Tuesday is the last meeting date
of the local camp before the reunion,
and Commander H. T. Davenport
hopes for a full attendance, as plans
for attending the reunion will be
completed. About twenty veterans
will go from Americus, it is said.
O’QUINN WILL RECOVER
EROM HIS INJURIES
Man Injured at Eire is Im

Arthur O'Quinn, the young man
badly burned Tuesday while attempt
ing to extinguish the ginhouse fire
on the Cullen H<Jrne plantation near
Americus, was reported yesterday as
getting along very well, though still
suffering from the sever burns. Mr.
O’Quinn was in the ginhouse when
the fire sudenly broke out in the
j cotton room, and in his efforts to
extinguish the blaze he was severely
burned. It was stated yesterday that

j from the first estimates, although it
still aggregates several thousand dol

WEDDING LAST NIGHT
ONE OF MUCH BEAUTY
Uniting Miss Simmons and
Mr, Statham.
One of the prettiest weddings ever
witnessed in Americus was that of
last evening, when a great concourse
of friends gathered at the handsome
home of Mrs. Lucy Hollis Simmons, t
on Felder street, to witness the mar- J
riage of her daughter, Susanne, to
Mr. Benjamin Statham.
The entire lower floor was thrown i
together and beautifully decorated. 1
Tall ferns and stately palms filled
nooks and corners, and cut flowers
were everywhere.
At the appointed hour, the beauti
ful strains of Mendelsohn’s wedding'
march were heard played by Mrs. (
Henry Johnson, with Miss Florence I
Niles accompanying her on the vio
lin.
First to enter were the garland
bearers, Misses Fannie Mae Williford,;
Elizabeth Hollis, Claire Hollis and
Floyd Fort. Each was exquisitely
dressed in white marquirette, and bore 1
garlands of great pink roses, with
which they formed an aisle for the
bridal party.
Mr. Statham entered with his best
man, Mr. John Council and stood be
fore the altar of palms and ferns, soft
ly lighted with cathedral candelabras.
The bride never looked more regal
than when she entered learning upon
the arm of her brother, Col. Howell
Simmons, and met the groom at the
altar.
She was gowned in a beautiful crea
tion of net over chiffon and taffeta,
made empire, with princess lines. The
corsage and panels were of rare prin
cess lace, and her tulle veil was
caught ui)on her dark hair with lilies
of-the-valley. She carried an armful
of white roses and lilies.
Rev. Allen Fort, of Dublin, cousin
of the bride, received the vows of the
handsome couple, while “The Angel’s
Serenade” was softly played.
A sumptous salad course was served
by Misses Cloe and Mary Littlejohn,
Constance Holt, Gertrude Jossey and
Fay Williams. Mrs. James Taylor
presided over the coffee table.
Misses Mary Fort and Sarah Cobh
served at the bride’s table.
Here the decorations were espec
ially beautiful. Great bowls of white
crysanthemums stood on the mantel
| and sideboard. On the bride's table
the center piece was real lace, with
tall vases of white crysanthemums,
and the candelabras were shaded with
white.
Seated at the table besides the bride
and groom were: Misses Claire Hol
lis, Floyd Fort, Elizabeth Hollis, Fan
nie Mae Williford and Florence Niles.
Messrs. John Council, Cliff Clay, Jeff
Taylor, W. A. Slaton, Charles Burke.
Mrs. Clarence Niles and Miss Emma
Mae Borum presided at the punch
bowl.
Noticeable among the many beau
tiful costumes was that worn by
Mrs. Earl Murphy, a lovely creation
of black lace with a touch of blue.
The bride’s mother wore black crepe
de chine with real lace.

Mrs. Howell B. Simmons was es
pecially handsome in gray chiffon
over taffeta.
Many costly gifts of cut glass,
china and silver and rare bric-a-brac
were received.
Mrs. Statham is the only daugh
ters of Mrs .Lucy Simmons and the
late Edgar G. Simmons. Since her
debut she has occupied an enviable
social position which she held, not
by charm of face and mind only, but
by a long line of gifted ancestry.
Mr. Statham is one of the most
successful young business men of
Americus, and fully worthy of the
prize he has won.
Mr. and Mrs. Statham left last
night for a tour of some length
through the north and east.
MAN HURT IN ACCIDENT
IS DEAD AT HELENA
Bry Wilson Is Dead at
Hospital.
Relatives in Americus were apprised
yesterday of the death of Mr. Bry
Wilson, formerly a resident of Leslie
where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. A.
Wilson, still reside and where the
body will be brought this morning
for burial.
Mr. Wilson passed away yesterday
morning at Helena, where he has
been ever since the Gum Swamp
wreck on the Seaboard Railway in
which he was severely injured.
The deceased was just in the prime
and vigor of young manhood, being
21 years of age.
Quite recently, it is said, he had
been very ill with fever.
At the time of the railway disaster,
wherein he was severely injured, Mr.
Wilson was express messenger aboard
the passenger train which fell through
the Gum Swamp trestle. He was tak
en to Helena, where he has since re
mained.
All the others aboard the train es
caped Injury except Mr. Wilson and
the two men in the mail car, both of
whom were painfully hurt. Mr. Wil
son’s injuries, it is said, were inflicted
about the head and were quite ser
ious.
He was a nephew of Messrs. Wil
liam A. and J. R. Wilson of Ameri
cus. The funeral will take place at
Leslie this morning, where the body
arrived last night.

And. maybe it is just the pain
That thrills its bosom wide,
What time it shudders at the bar
And thinks of last night's tide.

“That new neighbor of ours,” said
Subbubs, “seems to be very fond of
declaring that ‘life is full of contra
dictions.’ What does he mean by that,
anyway?”
“I suppose,” replied Henpeck, “that
he simply means to say he’s married.”
It is only comparatively pleasant to
be poor in days of financial upheav

“GUILTY OE NOTHIN’
EXCEPT BEIN’ POOR”
Pathetic Plea of Boy Taken
Up By Police.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ October 30 _
(Special)—With no home, save th e
shelter of a shed at a lime kiln, where
he says he has stayed for the past
seven nights, Raymond Cook, fragile
and emaciated, was arrested last
night. He is charged with vagrancy,
and says that he has not seen hig
parents, both of whom he asserts
have left the city, for more than a
week. He declares that he is home
less, and that he has recently worked
for a negro, for whom he drove a
dirt wagon.
“I ain t guilty of nothin’ except be
in’ por,” he said last night with the
precocious cynicism of the streets in
a voice made weak by exposure.
“About a week ago I was playin’
in front of the house and my stepfa
ther and step mother came out. They
said ther were goin’ up the street for
a few minutes. That was the last I
say of them.
“Late that night I came to the lime
kiln and crawled into one of the sheds
to go to sleep on a board. One of the
men there used to give me a little ol
his lunch, and I managed to get
along. Then I got a job driving a dirt
wagon, where they are making a
park near the river.
“Oh, I can work all right,” he de
clared, shaking a coppery shock of
hair. “All I want is a chance, and I
was looking’ for another job.”
The boy was ragged and dirty when
he was taken to the House of Deten
tion, where he was given a bath and
put to bed.
