AMERICUS TIMEB-REOORDER
CAFE WAS ROBBED OE
MONEY AND CIGARS
Brown's Case Was Raided
Yesterday.
Joe Brown’s case at the Windsor
Hotel corner was entered by a young
sneak thief between midnight and
daylight yesterday, and money and
merchandise to the amount of prob
ably slls to $l2O carried away by the
youthful window smasher.
Entrance to the case was effected
by breaking the small window bn the
Jackson street side of the building
aiid raising the inside latch.
At that hour the case was in total
darkness, but the burglar was evi
dently thoroughly at home in the
place and knew the surroundings, as
his operations indicated.
Proceeding leisurely, he helped him
self to what was wanted.
The cash drawer was opened and
all the money, between S6O and S7O,
taken therefrom, only a few pennies
remaining. The thief then raided the
cigar case and took about S4O worth
of the finest cigars, all imported ones
and worth 10 to 15 cents each.
The fact that he knew exactly where
the finest cigars were kept again evi
denced his perfect familiarity with the
surroundings.
As a provision against subsequent
summer thirst, the thief took a pocket
full of fountain checks, and during the
heated term will proceed to exchange
them freely for cooling beverages. The
checks could not possibly lead to
his detection.
Mr. Brown has a suspicion as to
who committed the burglary, as such
it was, and an arrest may follow in
a short while.
Doubtless this sneak thief, evi
dently a young boy, is the same who
committeed other robberies here re
cently; that of the Dodson Pharmacy,
the Harris Hardware Store and that
of the Sheflield-Huntington Co., all
entered by the window route.
The means of entrance was evi
dently the same in every instance. In
the stores previously robbed only
money was missed, while other arti
cles were stolen at Brown’s.
THE SHOOELY IS STILL
TO BUZZ BY AMERICUS
Schedule May be Revised
Somewhat.
Americus, from a business and com
mercial standpoint, breathed easier
yesterday morning when the informa
tion, unofficial' though it was, went
forth that the “shoofly” train, that
good angel of th e Seaboard, would
continue to buzz in tms direction.
The schedule might be revised, and
possibly shortened, but the train
would not be taken off altogether, at
least not taken off in the territory
contiguous to Americus.
And when this truth was learned
the people felt better over it.
In fact, the officials have not fully
determined upon anything as yet re
garding the “Shoofly” although it is
true that the operation of this train
has been discussed at conferences
upon the line of cutting down operat
ing expenses as far as possible.
And it is barely possible that the
wings of the “Shoofly” may be trim
med a little, but not cut off.
Quite recently the Seaboard dis
continued the operation of Pullman
sleepers on its night trains via
Americus, simply because they were
operated at a dead expense to the
company, and were not patronized.
Other expenditures may be cut like
wise.
Whatever changes may be effected,
due advance notice will be given the
public. But that grand institution,
the “Shoofly” is still ours, always.
STORE IS SHUT AGAIN
FOR A fCW DAYS
The buggy and harness repository
of Mr. H. J. Bagley was again closed
yesterday pending proceedings in the
Federal court, although the closing
will be but temporary. Mr. Bagley
was awarded his homestead recently
by the bankruptcy court, and had al
ready resumed business. Yesterday
the trustee in the case, upon the al
legation of attorneys representing
the former creditors of Mr. Bagley,
it was stated, closed the doors again
upon the statement mat the home
stead had been granted prematurely.
Mr. Bagley stated that his doors
would be opened again on 21st inst.,
the expiration of the proceedings
against him in the bankruptcy court,
though he regretted having to shut
up store for ten days after he thought
his affairs all adjusted, and had re
sumed business.
Odd.

VANDAL AT LARGE DID
DAMAGE TO TEAM
Harness Cut by Unknown
Sneak.
Some sneaking vandal, who evident
ly has it in for Loving’s stables, is
again at his nefarious work, done al
ways under the cover of darkness
where such cowardly curs cut and
burn. Recently Mr. Loving has had
several sets buggy harness cut to
pieces and well nigh ruined, while
his teams awaited night trains at the
depot. Only a night or two ago the
harness was almost cut from the
horses pulling the omnibus, thus en
dangering the life and limb of pas
sengers, aside from the loss put upon
the owner. Yesterday morning one
of his new rigs was badly hacked up
and the harness cut. A certain party
was seen near the rig, and the police
are now investigating that individu

1,000 BIRDS ARE SLAIN
AND FEAST IS SPRE4D
Gunners Had Monster Hunt
Here.
Mr. M. C. Proctor of Americus, and
friend, Mr. Francisco, agent for the
Seaboard at Montgomery, enjoyed a
dove shoot in Stewart county a day
or two since, Mr. Proctor returning
home yesterday with abundant feath
ered evidence of his prowess as a hun
ter. The party of gunners, several
in number, shot the doves in a baited
field, and more than a thousand were
thus killed. A pleasing feature of
the occasion was a superb dinner of
turkey, chicken pie and roasted birds
prepared for the hunters by friends
living in the vicinity of the £ove
field. Besides the many delicious
viands, 250 doves contributed by the
hunters in the field graced the table
at this feast royal. Mr. Proctor is an
ardent sportsman and a very success
ful one, and has enjoyed many part
i idge hunts and dove shoots here
during the season now drawing to a
close.
MRS.BORUM HOSTESS
AT PRETTY “AT HOME”
On e of the most perfect and thor
oughly enjoyable of the brilliant se
ries of entertainments given by the
members of the Ladies Social Club
occured on Friday last at the home of
Mrs. D. M. Borum.
Mrs Borum is the possessor of
some of the most superb palms and
ferns in the city, and her home was
beautifully adorned with them.
The game, which was a clever and
amusing one, was originated by the
charming young daughter of the hos
tess. After the game a tempting
luncheon was served.
Only members of the club were
present on this occasion, but the
hostess was assisted by Mrs. West
brook, Mrs. W. A. Rembert, Mrs.
Clarence Davis and Miss Mary
Hawkes.
No recent social event has been
more enjoyed than this most charm
ing “At Home” of Mrs. Borum’s.
Must Be Fresh.
“See here!” exclaimed the husband
of the fashionable invalid, “what’s the
idea of the doctor coming here again
today?”
“My gracious!” she exclaimed pet
ulantly, “he has come to leave my
fresh medicine. You don’t suppose
I’d use yesterday’s, do you?”

CREWS MAY CHANGE IN
AMERICUS IN FUTURE
Instead of at Terminal
Points.
Officials of the Seaboard Railway
are working out a proposition just
now, the ultimate purpose of which
is to make Americus the terminal
point for crews on trains running
through from Savanah to Montgom
ery. This system was in vogue here
several years ago and worked greatly
to the advantage of the crews as well
as to the company, and there was
never any very good reason for
changing to the present basis. Under
the plan proposed, conductors and all
train men would stop over in Ameri
cus, having their “lay over” here in
stead of at the terminals. Aside
from the fact that the men can live
cheaper here than in the two larger
cities—Savanah and Montgomery, the
proposed change possesses many other
advantages both for the railway com
pany and the crews thus affected. It
is to be hoped that the changes con
templated wil be put int force.
TWO PIECES OF REALTY
ARE SOLD ON HAMPTON
$5,000 Deal There of Lo
cal Interest.
Mr. Thornton Wheatley has just
sold to Mr. J. E. Hightower two
dwellings on Hampton street and ad
joining his own residence property,
the consideration being very near
$5,000. The dwellings are compar
atively new and desirable withal, Mr.
Wheatley having erected them three
or four years ago for rental purposes.
Mr. Hightower, who lias been occupy
ing one of the dwellings for two
years, desired to acquire both of them
as an investment, and will continue
to occupy one as a home while rent
ing the other. The price paid is by
•to means high when the value of real
ty here is considered, together with
the very desirable location of these
cozy dwellings.
SEASON WILL CLOSE IN
JUST A FEW DAYS
Hunters Must Retire From
Fields.
Americus gunners will make the
best, of the four remaining days of
this week, as the shooting season
ends with the setting of Saturday's
sun and the affrighted Bob White
and the dove that escaped murder in
baited fields will take a rest.
This is the last week in which game
can be legally killed in Georgia until
next fall, and it is expected hunters
and dogs will be working over time
for the next few days.
After next Sunday it will be unlaw
ful to kill wild turkey or quail until
Nov. 1, or to kill dove or snipe until
Sept. 1.
The shooting season now ending
has been an excellent one in south
Georgia. Partridges in abundance
were to be found earlier in the game,
and many were killed. Probably 50,-
000 doves have been killed recently in
baited fields.
But the “sport” will end this week,
when guns are laid away.
NO DANGER TO FRUIT
AS RESULT OF COLD
The rather decided change of tem
perature yesterday morning retired
the shirt waist for a moment and
caused one to dig up the old flannfel
instead, while the family huddled
about the fire and wondered whence
Spring had sprang. It was decidedly
raw and disagreeable, but the little
blizz will not long linger, and summer
will come back long before we get
any ice here, at the present gopheri
cal gait. It will not be cold enough
to injure the peach trees, the orchard
men say.
THE SERVICES 0E LENT
TODAY AT CALVARY
At Calvary Episcopal church, the
Lenten services today conducted by
Rev. J. B. Lawrence, include litany
and penitential office at 12 o’clock,
noon, with evening prayer at 7:30
o’clock. The lecture at the evening
service will be on the second chapter
of the epistle to the Ephesians, and
the general public is cordially invited
to attend both services.
Taking into consideration the pro
portionate weight, the wing of a bird
is twenty times stronger than the
arm of a man.
HARROLD CO. TO BEGIN
BUSINESS TOMORROW
Americus is Interested in
Success.
The Harrold Banking & Savings Co.,
a new Macon institution in the assur
ed success of which Americus feels an
interest, will open for business to
morrow, with former Americus men
in charge of its affairs and Americus
capital behind the enterprise.
The stock of the Banking Company
is principally held by the sons and
heirs of the late U. B. Harrold, of
Americus, whose name has for a half
century been known throughout South
Georgia, and the entire state as syn
onymous with integrity and conserva
tive business methods.
The directors are T. H. Boone, S. S.
Shipps, John F. Cone, W. E. Harrold,
C. C. Harrold.
The officers of the Company will
be T. Harrold Boone, president; Ste
phen S. Shipps, treasurer, W. E. Har
rold, secretary.
Mr. W. E. Harrold, who will have
active charge of the details of man
agement is no stranger to Macon, hav
ing been in business there as a young
man during the years 1898-1900.
Messrs. Shipps and Boone, who head
the institution have long been iden
tified with loan and real estate inter
ests through their connection with
the Georgia Loan and Trust Company,
which they still retain.
With this management, it is safe to
say that the business of the Company
will, though progressive, be of all'
other things most conservative, com
bined with courteous treatment of
customers.
COMES TO AMERICUS IN
APRIL FOR MEETING
Patriotic Sons of America
Come Here.

entertainment of the visitors, and the
meeting in Americus, about April 22d,
will be an occasion of much interest.
Washington Camp of Americus, though
not yet two years old, is one of the
largest in the state and includes in
its membership many of our most
prominent citizens and business men.
It is growing rapidly in numerical
strength, and many names will be

RAILROADS AND
RECEIVERSHIPS
Puzzle as to Motive of
Applicants.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ March 10.—
(Speclai)—lt is not clear to the
minds of Congressmen just why there
should be a disposition on the part
of railroads to seek redress from
temporary and recent ills in the Uni
ted States courts by application for
receiverships.
“The late financial panic was in
October, at which time the railroad
traffic was at «its best,” said one of
the Senators when- discusing the
question yesterday, “and surely four
months after an era of unparalleled
prosperity it does not seem reasonable
that distrust should come so soon.
The receivership of the International
and Great Northern Railroad in
Texas, one of the Gould system, was
a surprise to me.”
General In Georgia
Judge Bartlett, a member of the
Interstate and Foreign Comerce Com
mittee of the House of Representa
tives, when asked about the tendency
of railroad to fly to the United States
courts for protection, said:
“In Georgia nearly all our rail
roads were in the hands of receivers
from 1893 to 1896. The business was
so small that not only interest on
first mortgage bonds could not be
met, but funds were lacking for bet
terments and operating expenses.
“I do not think that the general
law regulating rates can in any way
be avoided by resort to a receiver
ship, since, upon notice by the In
terstate Commerce Commisssion the
receiver must obey as though he

Seaboard Trouble
Representative Webb, of North Car
olina. said that he never had seea
any valid excuse for the receivership
of the Seaboard Air IJne; that it
looked like collusion between dis
agreeing stockholders. “Why should
a road go into the hands of a re
ceiver when it is able to pay and
does pay 4 per cent dividends? It
looked to me like a scramble between
Thomas F. Ryan and John Skelfom
Williams for the mastery, and th*
power of the courts was invoked t#
settle their differences. %
