FIND BOOKS AND NOTES
OWNED BY THE BANK.
$40,000 of Securities Are
Found at Last.
Lost a Year and a Half
Ago, Notes and Books
Brought to Light.
Forty thousand dollars worth of
negotiable bank notes and valuable
papers, together with three books be
longing to the Bank of Ellaville, and
W’hich disappeared most mysteriously
a year and a half ago, were found yes
terday, hidden in the old courthouse at
Ellaville.
And the finding of the lost valuables
naturally caused greatest interest In
the little town, as well as in Americus,
when the story was phoned here at 4
o’clock.
For the long lost property was own
ed by the Bank of South Western
Georgia; the parent bank of the Ella
ville institution.
The valuable fiud was made by Col.
Charles R. McCrory ar.d Mr. James
Robinson in the boxing, or casing, of
the old courthouse, though search had
been made for them there before, as
well as in the bank building and In
other places.
The long lost notes were in the little
satchel which former Cashier Walters
carried frequently in trips to Americus
and elsewhere.
All Notes Are Intact.
The entire amount of the notes, it is
understood, are there intact, and as
good as gold. Assistant Cashier Philo
Smith, of the Bank of South Western
Georgia, went over at once upon learn
ing of the find and brought the lot of
notes and books to Americus last,
night.
And thus closes the final mystery in
connection with their loss.
More than $25,000 of the lost notes
had already been collected long since
by the bank, the books of the Ellaville
branch establishing the record. And
with the recovery jaf the lost notes the
remaining $15,000 will be collected
without difficulty.
Many of the customers of the Ella
ville bank paid their indebtedness
without hesitation, and there will be
no trouble in collecting the remainder
of the notes, yet unpaid.
Mystery of Lost Securities.
In August, 1908, Cashier Walters, of
Ellaville Bank, took his life while
F e in Americus upon a business
9rip. Investigation of the bank's af
fairs next day disclosed the missing
notes and books. For weeks the search
for them was carried on, but they
were never located.
The records of the bank, however,
saved the instituion from any consid
erable loss and its business went on
uninterruptedly, many notes being
paid, as stated.
The fact that Cashier Walters fre
quented the old courthouse, unused for
that purpose, led to a search there for
the papers. On the second floor is a
billiard table, where lovers of the
game oftimes play. Mr. Walters went
there for that purpose.
He may have carried the notes there
and, ina moment of mental abberation,
forgot the fact. Then, someone else
may have hidden them in the old
building.
Reward of SSOO Offered.
Several gentlemen were in the old
building yesterday, and one of these
perchance found the hiding place and
the records as well. The news spread
like wildfire and the little town was
soon agog over the discovery. The
Americus bank was notified, and the
notes brought here.
As stated, more than $25,000 of the
notes have already been collected by
the bank, which in August, 1908, offer
ed a reward of SSOO for the return of
all notes and books.
THE HIGHTOWER WITHOUT
ANY CHILDREN
He Will Look After Schooling Every
one Eise’s Kids.
The Hightower who was elected a
member of the Board of Education on
Wednesday night is the Hightower
without any children. This is to dif
ferentiate him from the Hightower
with children.
The Hightower without any children
had some good natured fun poked at
him yesterday over this new way to
mark him in the community.
It all came about in this way.
When the election of two members
of the Board of Education came up Mr.
J. E. Hightower was nominated. Two
other gentlemen were also nominated.
It seemed if nominations were
about to close when some alderman
innocently said, “Wliich Hightower is
it?”
‘‘J. E. Hightower,” said Aldehnan
Brown who had nominated him
‘‘The Central railroad agent, the
Hightower without any children?” re
marked Alderman Allen aloud. “1
nominate the Hightower with chil
dren, J. W.”
When the ballots were counted the
Hightower without any children had
got four votes and was the only one of
the four elected on the first ballot.

Council So Declares Status
of Cily Employes.
While the salaries of certain city
employes are fixed by the year they
are elected and accept office with the
distinct understanding that they are
working on a monthly basis, and that
their services can be dispensed with,
either because of dissatisfaction, or
for purposes of economy, at the end ot
any month without notice, and without
their having any claims upon the
municipality.
That was decided by Council at its'
last meeting. It grew out of the nam
ing of the salaries for the current year.
Mayor Felder held that the salaries
should be so much per month, so that
there could he no misunderstanding of
the fact that the employes were not
hired by the year. Alderman Allen
thought this unnecessary, holding that
the men were always engaged on a
monthly arrangement, hut at specified
yearly salaries.
Mayor Felder didn’t believe in leav
ing any room for misunderstanding.
His views prevailed, a resolution was
introduced that this was the rule af
fecting the employment of all city ser
vants, of any grade whatsoever, and
its adoption removed any doubts, if
any existed, as to the legal status of
city employes.
$9,000 THE PRICE PAID
FOR FARM IN SUMTER.
Griffin Man Invests in a
Farm Here.
Another considerable realty deal in
farming lands near Americus was ef
fected yesterday by the Americus Real
Estate Co. in the sale of the Charles
Hogg farm in the 28th district, several
miles east of the city. The farm con
sists of about 1,000 acres, and was
purchased as an investment by Mr. J.
A. Scott, a merchant of Griffin, Ga., at
the round price of $9,000. Mr. Scott is
one of many others who realize the
rapidly increasing values of Sumter
county farming lands, and at the price
paid for the Hogg property he secured
a bargain indeed. Several other im
portant deals in farm lands here are
pending, and many new settlers will
come here to reside during the cur
rent month.

StTILED THE MURRAY
CLAIMS FOR $1,421.44
It look Considerable of This
as Expenses.
Announcement was made at the last
meeting of the City Council that a
settlement of the claims of the city
against former superintendent of
waterworks Murray had been effected,
and that a check for $1,346.24 was in
the treasurer’s hands.
The settlement was on the basis of
$1,421.24. From this a fee of $75 was
deducted, leaving the amount men
tioned.
While the city hack $1,346.-
24 there were involved
which were not repaid to it. The audi
tor, for instance, received SSOO, which
came out of the general funds of the
city, and there were various court ex
penses. The city treasury is accord
ingly enriched to the extent of a few
hundred dolars only, after all.
How to credit the check just receiv
ed aroused some discussion in Council.
Alderman Allen wanted the full am
ount credited to the waterworks. May
or Felder held that the expense,
charged to the general funds, should
first be taken out, and when the bal
ance could he applied to whatever de
partment Council saw fit. Finally the
matter went over until further infor
mation could be had from Judge May
nard as to the actual expenses incurr
ed in the suit.

Alderman Hawkins made a motion
at the meeting of Council Wednesday
night that was received with general
I favor and which will doubtless be
ried out in the near future.

“I believe that a city marshal, with
police powers, but with his duties con
fined to matters of revenue, could
not only make his own salary but
bring in more than enough revenue to
do that, and at the same time permit
of the chief of the police devoting his
entire attention to that department. I
am not saying this from any desire to
separate the chief from part of his
present duties, hut because I believe it
will be to the best interests of the city
and everyone concerned.”
Mayor Felder and one or two others
endorsed these sentiments and no one
opposed them. Attention was called to
the fact that it would be necessary to
have an ordinance drafted to make the
change proposed effective. Inasmuch
as the police year does not close until
March it was decided to let the matter
go over, have an ordinance prepared
and adopt it at some subsequent meet
ing.
GREAT SUCCESS OF PLAY
A “KNIGHT FOR A DAY.”
Fine Attraction In Americus Wednes
day Night Next.
The crux of the laugh tides in the
presentation of “A Knight for a Day,”
the musical gaiety that comes to the
opera house on Wednesday night next,
12th, is said to be a ladder elopement
scene with a slavey attached to a
young ladies’ seminary, the feminine
runaway, and a merry little waiter
posing as a “knight” whose credentials
he has stolen, the moonlight lochnivar.
The Gaiety’s claim of the longest re
cent run ofmusical comedy rests on
good substance. When B. C. Whitney
took over the dramatic Fadists’ play
house in Chicago, to which he later
gave his name, he put in as the open
ing atraction “A Knight for a Day.”
The frolic—a tissue of laughs, melo
dies and brilliant pageants—held the
boards of the theatre for 607 perform
ances unbrokenly, Chicago being a
Sunday theatre town.

RAISED TELEPHONE TAX

Among the few increases made in

has been SIOO, but for 1909 the license
will be $l5O. As a matter of fact,
though, the city will receive only
about S7O, as the franchise tax is de
ducted by the state, which collects
such taxes and remits the city’s por

Allen is quite anxious to
Huiow what his duties will he in this
highly responsible position.
When the reading of the committees
had been completed Alderman Allen
arose and asked for information.
“Will your honor kindly tell me
what my duties are to be as chairman
of the committee on public schools?”
asked the alderman.
There was, perhaps, the suspicion of
a smile on the Mayor’s face as he
answered:
“That is a very important commit
tee, Alderman Allen. Your duties, of
course, will be to overlook the public
schools of the city.”
“But Council hasn’t any rights in
the matter of the schools except to
appropriate money” insisted Alderman
Allen. “That has been shown the;
past year. This committee might just
as well not exist, as I see it.”
But the Mayor thought that Aider
man Allen was quite mistaken in this.
“It is the duty of your committee to
see that the Board of Education does
its duty” he insisted in his reply to
Alderman Allen. “You will look over
the condition of the schools and other
wise show that Council is attending io
the public school affairs.”
But Alderman Allen, as he took his
seat, insisted that the committee was a
dead one.
