SUM ITR GETS PRIZE IN
GOOD ROADS CONTEST
Committee lias finally De
cided Point.
Prize Offered in Good
Roads Contest is Giv
en Sumter Ove r
Other Counties.
Sumter county is awarded the cash i
| prize of $350 offered by the Atlanta j
| Constitution for the best stretch of j
j good roads traversed by cars making ;
the recent endurance run from South !
Georgia to Atlanta. The award, long
1 delayed, was made by the Albany com
mittee yesterday,, and Sumter wins.
This distinction is attained by vir
tue of the fine road between Americus
and the Gee county line and generally
known as the Smithville road.
Mr. Frank Sheffield, chairman of
the board of county commissioners,
was advised yesterday by Mr. .1. A.
Davis of Albany, chairman of the
committee on aw'ard, that Sumter had
been voted the prize for the best;
stretch of road.
From the very first it was generally
conceded that the prize would be
given Sumter, but official action in
making the award has been delayed
by lack of promptness upon the part
of the observers accompanying the ]
ears on the long run to Atlanta in j
filing their reports-with the Albany]
committee.
This has at last been done, and]
Sumter pulls the plum.
The distinction thus attained is a
hundred fold greater than the mere
monetary value, as it advertises to the
world the fact that Sumter county has
the finest highways in all southern
and middle Georgia. This will attract
attention of many people desiring to
make realty investments.
The counties traversed by the cars
on the good roads run to Atlanta were

BY ORDER OF PRESIDENT
Who Wishes for Americus a Prosper

To the Citizens' Club—As the Citl

sine die.
While a spirited contest, like that

honest men, striving for one common
good, it leaves no bitterness. We all

WOMAN IS INNOCENT IN
BELIEF OE FRIENDS.
Interest in Wardlaw I rial
Manifested.
There are many people in the South,
: particularly In Georgia, who feel the
I greatest amount of interest in the de
j teution of Miss Virginia Wardlaw, in
i New York city, for the alleged mur
der of her niece, Mrs. Ocey Snead
Mrs. Snead was the daughter of a sis
ter of Miss Wardlaw.
Mrs. Snead’s grandfather, who was
the father of Miss Wardlaw, was the
Rev. John Wardlaw, formerly a mem
ber of the South Georgia conference
and for fifty years one of its most val
ued members.
Mar Wardlaw was not looked upon
as a brilliant ma- but one whose faitb
■■nd nobleness c 5 jlife did more good
niong his fellov men than brilliancj
could ever have accomplished. Hi:
orae was in Oglethorpe, Ga.. durinr
he last years of his life spent ii
leorgia.
He died in Cbriutlanburg, Va., in
896. Mrs. Wardlaw, his widow-, if
till alive and has been a recipient
iuee Ills death of a portion of the
Touth Georgia conference fund to re-
Teve the distress of the widows of de
eased ministers.
Although the pastor’s salaries
-ever permitted an expensive educa
tion to bo had by their children, yet
he sacrifices continually made and
-he training of the mother secured
'or them an education which few
have enjoyed and which proved broad
tud thorough In its scope.
There are many who recall Rev.
Tohn Wardlaw and cannot but think
hat some mistake has been made in
the detention of his duaghter. They
were given the surroundings of a pure
Christian life, upon which to model
ther own, and they were all reared
carefully and guardedly.
Mrs. Mary Snead, the mother of
Fletcher Snead, has paid a warm trib
ite to Miss Wardlaw and refuses to
believe that she is in any way con
nected with the tragedy. The out
come of the mystery will be eagerly
awalted by hundreds of Georgians.

SIX PLAGES ON BOARD
VACANT IN MARCH.
Council Will Elect Half of i
School Board.
As the result of resignations and
expiration of terms of office, just one
half the entire board of education will
rhave to be elected in March next.
This is a rather unusual condition,
as rarely has it occurred that more
than three members of this body are
li elected at any annual meeting.
The board consists of twelve mem
bers, besides the mayor, who by vir
• tue of this office is ex-officio member,
and just half the regular number will
be elected in March.
Those members whose term of office
l expire at that time are Messrs. W. P.
Wallts, George A. Tufpin and J. B.
Hudson. The three others whose
places are to be filled are Messrs
Frank A. Hooper, J. E. Mathis and W I
* I E. Brown.
| The vacancy in Mr. Hooper’s seat
' will be occasioned by his removal tu
Atlanta. Mr. J. E. Mathis was elect
ed a year or two since to fill the un
expired term of some member, which
term ends in March, while Mr. W. E.
Brown will resign the board of educa
tion upon assuming the duties of al
derman.
The city council elects all members
of the board of education.
It is quite likely that several of the j
’ half dozen gentlemen whose terms ex
pire in March will consent to re-elec-
II tion. Mr. Brown, as treasurer of the
j board for many years, has rendered
I most valued service and his co-work
ers there will deeply regret to lose
him in that department.
Already the annual meeting of the
, board of education in March is being
. discussed among those who are great
, iy interested therein.
BUSINESS IS ENDED IN
fcOURT FOR SESSION.
*
Busy Term of Two Woeks
Has Closed.
;
, Judg* Littlejohn yesterday morn
ing, after disposing of the motion
locket in superior court, formally ad
journed the fall term after a busy
session of two weeks. The grand jury
'nished its labors on Wednesday and
adjourned, after a remarkably short
session of only eight dayß. During
the two weeks of court Judge Little
john disposed of a very large volume
->f business, both on the civil and
criminal sides, including many cases
of importance on each docket. The
case of the city versus the local light
ing company consumed nearly a day
in its trial and was among the impor
! tant ones heard at this term. Upon
J the criminal side the docket was a
very heavy one, there being nearly a
! score of prisoners in jail at the begin
ning of the session, besides arrests
that followed indictments by the grand
jury. One negro, Henry Patterson,
was sentenced to hang on January 4
! for the murder of Capt. W. F. Mcßee,
while a dozen others were given sen
j tences in the penitentiary and chain
, gang for lesser crimes.
