AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
MONEY IS COMING NEXT
WEEK FOR VETERANS
Sumter’s Vets to Receive
About $7.-000.
Sumter's Confederate veterans and
widows of veterans will be paid their
pensions next week.
Checks fol- the payment of pensions
to the Confederate veterans of Geor
gia for the first quarter of 1908, ag
gregating $228,761, were forwarded
yesterday to the ordinaries of the
various counties by Pension Commis
sioner J. W. Lindsay.
Checks for the lump sum due in
each county will be sent to the or
dinaries who will make a deposit in
his bank and issue individual check
to each pensioner.
Under the new arrangement the
ordinary receives $1 for each pension
handled during the year,, payment
of this fee is made from the county
treasury and does not come from the
pensioner as hertofore.
As a result of the fact that pen
sioners have heretofore had to pay
this fee, many ordinaries have never
collected it.

NEGRO NOT WANTED IN
1 RICHLAND FOR MURDER
Again the Wrong Negro is
Caught,
Officer Dorman came to Americus
yesterday from Richland with a
handcuffed negro whom he was tak
ing to Oglethorpe. The negro, a tall
mulatto, was suspected of being the
murderer of Town Marshal Cartel 1 , of
Richland, whose atrocious murder last
summer aroused that section to the
highest point of excitement. Marshal
Carter, who was a brother-in-law of
Police Officer Ross of Americus, was
shot down in the depot at dawn one
morning last summer. Several ar
rests have since been made but the
guilty one has not yet been found.
The negro here yesterday was want
ed at Oglethorpe upon a forgery
charge.
THREE MAY ENIER THE
RACE IN SCHLEY
Are Suggested for Senate
There.
•
In Americus, as in the two other
counties, Macon and Schley, compos
ing the Thirteenth district, interest is
manifested in the senatorial race. Un
der the rotation system each county
names a senator alternately, and it is
now Schley’s time to put forward the
man of her choice. Among those who
will likely offer for the senate are:
Colonel C. R. McCrory, Hon. W. D.
Murray and Hon. T. F. Rainey; and
the probable candidates for the house
are: Hon. M. E. Collum, the present
representative, and J. T. -Royal.
MR. SHEPPARD IN RACE

Col. J. E. Sheppard announces this
morning his candidacy for one of
Sumter’s seats in the House, and
that his hundreds of friends will
■ enthusiastically support him for this
I honor goes without saving. Col.
\ Sheppard is one of the foremost
members of the Americus bar and
well equipped for the duties he
would assume. For some time his
friends have urged him to offer for
legislative honors, and |iis formal an
nouncement will be a subject of gen
eral and sincere congratulation,
j Should he be thus honored, no other

Yesterday was Cupid’s busy day,
and in Americus as elsewhere the
tender missive and the “comic” got. in
their long-range work. The hook-,
stores sold thousands of “vals” in-j
eluding (lie handsome and costly kind,
and the deadly “comic” which points |
a moral and tells a tale. The old

MR. FURLOW TO RESIGN
PLACE AT CAPITOL
Twelve Years as Assistant
Treasurer.
The many Americus friends of Capt
ain Charles T. Furlow, who for twelve
years, has occupied the position of as
sistant to the state treasurer, follow
ing another service of twelve years
in the office of the comptroller gener
al, will regret to know that, he will
tender his resignation.
Captain Park has practically decid
ed to appoint as Captain Furlow’s
successor, Ben. F. Perry, assistant
cashier of the Bank of Canton.
Captain Furlow has been in ill
health for some time.
Last year he took a vacation of
several weeks in the effort to improve
it, and recovered sufficiently, as he
thought, to enable him to resume (he
work again.
But the improvement was but tem
porary, and he is again quite sick,
a fact learned with regret by his
friends over the state. Finding it
necessary to give up the
of office work, he has determined to
tender his resignation, and devote
himself to the recovery of his health.
Captain Furlow is a well known
confederate veteran, and since the war
has given the state a quarter of a
century of valuable service.

bought the property yesterday,*
through Mr. P. B. Williford, real es

and greatly improved, and later will
be leased to Dr. F. B. Gregory as a

CHILDREN ARE SENT TO
THE HOME IN MACON
Little Ones Provided for
There.
The four Clark children, in whose
behalf an appeal for charity was
made yesterday by (he Times-Record
er, lire now safely housed in the
Mumford Industrial Home at Macon.
Kind-hearted people came to the
rescue as soon as the wants of these
poor abandoned little ones was made
known, and within an hour or two
$53 had been handed the committee,
Messrs. Bell, Crisp and Feagin. La
dies went out and dressed the little
children and, accompanied by Rev.
Mr. Cutts, of Vienna, they were sent
to Macon at noon, where they will be
properly reared and cared for.
There’s is a pathetic story, and yes

NEW VESSEL IS PLYING
WATERS OF OCMULGEE
Named for Former Ameri
cus Man.
The new steamer A. E. Chappell left
Macon yesterday upon her maiden
trip down the Ocnmlgee and will
reach Brunswick tonight, in all prob
ability. The new boat carried a con
siderable cargo, and her departure
was the signal for a demonstration
upon the part of those behind the
enterprise. It is believed that a
steamer line upon the Ocmulgee. can
be maintained, and if the Chappell
makes good, other boats will be put
on. This steamer bears the name of
a former wellknown Americus man,
who began in this city his successful
business career, and Americus friends
applaud his enterprise in thus estab
lishing a steamer line to the sea.
In years past, when our little S. A. &
M. Railway, now the bigger Seaboard,
was built to Abbeville, Americus bus
iness men operated a steamer line on
the Ocmulgee river very successfully
the vessels running t(f Brunswick and
giving to Americus, for the first time
in her history, competitive freight
rates and breaking for all time the
bonds of monopoly in which she was
then held. The little steamer “Ameri
cus,” the “Maggie Bell” and a little
later (he “Swann” did a large river
traffic along in the latter “eighties”
as many here will recall.

IA REDUCTION IN WAGES
HERE IS NOT LIKELY
Seaboard May Not Reduce
Salaries.
It is not likely that the Seaboard
Air Line will follow the course of
other railway systems' in Georgia’ in
cutting wages'at this time. Such
is the impression current among Sea
board people ip Americus, who would
he interested therein.
Such a cut, even though absolute
ly necessary, would be deplored by
the host of employes affected.
Supt. H. B. Grimshaw returned to
Americus yesterday from Hamlet, N.
C., where, with other division super
intendents, he was in conference
with the receivers of this system.
The nature of the conference is
not known, but it is the impression
here in railway circles that the sub
ject of wage reduction was not dis
cussed. Certain is it that no intima
tion of such step is known in Ameri
cus,
Wage reductions on the Western
and Atlantic railroad, the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad,
and the Louisville and Nashville were
reported yesterday,
In the case of the two former roads
it was announced as 10 per cent for
all employees making over SSO per
month. In the case of the latter, it
was another reduction, this time af
fecting the conductors, engineers,
firemen and brakemen.
The other salaried officials had
been reduced previously.
Previously it had been announced
by the Louisville and Nashville road
that all officials making between $250
and S4OO a month were to be reduced
by 10 per cent and those under by 8
per cent.
The Southern cut 10 per cent “all
down the line” has stirred up the la
bor organization, and added to them
these noted, herewith, will probably
cause pi concerted effort among them
to have these cuts restored and no
more ordered.
A delegation will go to Washington
to confer with the officials of the
Southern system on this matter in a
few days.
AMERICUS MEN DOING A
STUNT IN FLORIDA
Reducing the Orange Crop
Visibly.
The recent sharp advance in the

ted to the presence of Lee Hansford
and Hinton Brown m the orange belt,
where they have been for a week as
the guests of Rev. T. W. Callaway,
near Orlando. This advance guard
of the hungry army have a penchant
for the yellow fruit which is given
full play down there. A few days
ago the two started out to camp at
a lakeside, to fish for a week, hut
when discovered later by the host,
they had pitched tents in an orange
orchard eight miles from the lake
and were pulling “suckers” with a
vengeance. They may deny *this
statement when they come home, but
truth will prevail.

NEW YORK-TO-PARIS*! v
AUTOMOBILE RACE
Start Made on 20,000
Mile Journey.
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—(Special)
The New York-to-Paris automobile
race is now on. The race was worked
up by the New York Times. Six
machines are in the race, three
\
French, one American, one German
and one Italian. The start was made
Wednesday from Times square.
The journey involves a total dis
tances of 20,000 miles, nine-tenths of
which will be on land. Two thousand
miles will be traversed by steamer,
in order to admit of the cars getting
across Bering Strait and through
Alaska at a time when the roads of
the frozen district are passable.
The first stage of the journey—
across the United States—involves a
total of 5,200 miles. This is necessary
on account of the winter season, since
the Sierra Nevada range is declared
impassible in the snows of early
March. To avoid them a southern
detour is required that takes the con
testants almost as far south as Los
Angeles, a total of more than 1,200
miles out of their direct way.
From San Francisco the cars will
be shipped by steamer to Seattle for
the purpose of saving time and pre
venting them reaching Alaska after
the ice has been broken, leaving the
Alaskan roads a virtual morass.
Through Alaska the road leads over
1,100 miles more. .
From Nome the trip across the
strait is undertaken, and another wa
ter journey by steamer begun to reach
East cape.
Then on the arrival in Siberia, the
last and most difficult phase of the
journey is begun. A thousand miles
of this is planned along the shore ice
on the Arctic ocean, leading inland
from the Bay of Tschayn to the mouth
of the Kolymaks to Verchojansck and
Vakutsk and finally Irkuktsk. It is
this stretch of country, leading
through practica.ly uninhabited wilds,
that presents the greatest difficulty.
NUMBER 40
EILIPINO TROOPS
WILL BE LOYAL
To U. S. in Case of Any
Trouble.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 14.
(Special)—Recent official reports,
some of them not yet put into print,
make it apparent that if the United
States ever has trouble with a foreign
power which may undertake to over
run the Philippines, the enemy will
meet with a resistance not due en
tirely to the force of American arms.
The Filipino constabulary and the
Filipino scouts, armed organizations,
one serving under the civil govern
ment and the other under the military
authority of the islands, have done
field service of which the soldiers of
any army might be proud, and have
shown a loyalty which means that no
flag except that of the United States
can command their courage and de
votion. -
Army officers who have served in
the Philippines say that the constab
ulary, half police, half soldier, has in
its ranks men who will give ac
count of themselves on any field and
against any foe, and that what is said
of the constabulary is true of the
scouts, whose work is entirely mili
tary, and who are attached to the
army for the particular service which
their name suggests.
Philippine constabulary and
scouts together form a force of near
ly 10,000 officers and men. The offi
cers in the main are Americans, but
some of the juniors bearing commis
sions in the constabulary, are Filip
inos trained for the work. In time
juniors will fill the places of higher
rank and greater responsibility.
