FORTY BIG BALES
MAKE A LOAB
OF COTTON
Largest Load Ever Hauled
to Americus.
M. B. Council Plantation Sends in a
Single Load of Forty Bales Ex
ceeding in Weight 22,200_Pounds~
Engine Pulls it.
The banner load of cotton attesting
the merit of Sander county’s fine
roads rolled Into Americus yesterday
a- d created about the same degree ot
•interest as would the bandwagon of
Ringling’s circus as it moved majes
tically along the business streets to
the E C. Parker warehouse.
Forty bales, with' a total weight of
22,010 pounds, made up this remarka
a.ble load, the largest ever hauled to
Americus or any other Georgia town.
The bales, all of them exceeding
500 lbs. in weight, were piled upon
a large flat truck and this was pulled
by a big gasoline engine made by the
International Harvester Co., and used
on the plantation for general work.
It resembled a genuine railroad cot
ton train in motion.
Tr.'is load of forty bales was grown
upon -Captain M. 15. Council’s upper
farm, the old original Solomon Coun
cil home place, three or four miles
east of Americus. It is located upon
one of Sumter’s fine roads, which ex
plains the ease in getting the load
here.
The gasoline engine was driven by
James Parker, and the run to Ameri
cas was made in less time than one
hour.
The pulling of this huge load of
22,010 pounlds here with such facil
ity demonstrates what can be done in
this era of good roads and improved
farm machinery. The plowing ora the
Council farm is done with this gas
oline engine, which pulls a string of
twenty disc plows.
Th*is forty-bale load is one of several
others which Captain Council will haul
In during the season from his two fine
plantations in Sumter.
IN DEAR OLD ATLANTA
THEY SHOOT FOR DRINKS
Man Murdered for Defend
ing His Property.
(Special' to Times-Recorder.)
Atlanta, Ga., October 29.—Pat len
ders', of 373 North avenue, was shot
and perhaps fatally wounded by three
highwaymen who sought to rob hLs
place of business at a late hour last
night.
Handers, who works in the near
beer saloon of J. B. Matthews, on
Marietta street, 'was alone when three
rough looking men entered the saloon
and ordered him to hoM up his hands.
Instead of obeying he reached under
the counter for his revolver.
Instantly all three of true men open
ed fire, all the shots taking effect. Al
though badly wounded he managed to
cross the room and fire after the flee
ing men, anil it is believed that he
wounded one of them.
Handers was shot -in the cheek
another bullet ploughed across his
forehead and still another penetrat
ed his abdomen.
While waiting for an amb u lance ne
was able to tell the story of the
shooting an.j believes that he will be
able to identify the robbers, if they
are brought before him.
He is 50 years old and lias a wife
and four children.
HOBART MILL IS GRINDING

Neon Buchanan has installed at his

The mill, a handsome one, is driven
by electricity, thus insuring absolute
uniformity in ground coffee. It has
a measured speed of a pound of cof
fee per minute, and customers are
thus served with fresh ground coffee
while they wait. Mr. Buchanan will
also “grind coffee for others sending
it to his store. The mill attracts
much favorable attention as it hums
through a three-pound can of Bu
chanan's delicious coffee, while the
process is being explained to visitors
at the store.

LAND TRADE
Americus Man Sells Terrell
Plantation.
Messrs. Lowrey Sell One of Their
Farms In Terrell County to J. M.
Woodley of South Carolina for
$30,000.
Thirty thousand dollars was the good
round figure paid in Americus yester
day for a Terrell county plantation of
1,200 acres, or just $25 per acre net.
The purchaser was Mr. J. M. Woodley,
of South Carolina, who bought* one
of the far ms of Messrs. M. M. and L.
A Lowrey in Terrell county.
The sale ia one of the largest single
land deals effected here quite recently,
though there have been quite a num
ber of smaller ones in the $5,000 and
SIO,OOO class.
Th • farm thus purchased by Mr.
Woodley is situated in the southern
portion of Terrell county, which ad
joins Sumter, and while it As very
good land it does not equal other
farm lands in that county.
Came First t*> Sumter.
Mr. Woodley, updn leaving South
Carolina to prospect for a new home,
came first to Americus, as do all South
Carolinians, to purchase a farm in
Sumter—ias so many of those who
came ahead of him had done. He w,is
anxious to locate in Sumter, of which
he- had heard so much.
Many farms here were carefully in
spected by this newcomer , but when
prices were asked the answ r er startled
him. Values were put far above the
figures he expected.
In fact, he saw no inducement to
purchase here at the prices demanded,
so he reluctantly went into the ad
joining county of Terrell, where he
deemed values more commensurate
with the 'Lands offered. Thus he be
comes a good neighbor, if not a resi
dent of Sumter county.
Mr. Woodley will remove shortly to
his new home in Terrell.
Exeetds Half Million Mark.
While high priced lands here cause
a few prospective buyers to seek in
vestments dn other counties, many otn
era bought here ere values reached
the present level. The result has been
the immigration here of many thrifty
farmers from other states, principally
from South Carolina.
These new comers have invested
heavily here, it being conservatively
estimated that more than six hundred
thousand dollars of Carolina coin has
been invested in lands near Americus
during the current year.

NEGRO IS NEAR KILLED
BY EXPLOSION OF SHELL
Relic of the Civil War Blows
Up at Dalton.
Dalton, Ga., Oct. 29.—A bomhsheil
which had lain half buried in the yard
of a negro. George Towns, within a
few yards of the Confederate breast
works used here during the civil war,
exploded when struck by ;a piece of
Iron in the hands of a grandson of
Towns here today and the child's moth
er was struck by a piece of shell and
badly bruised.
Fire under a washpot nearby was
scattered in all directions by the force
of the explosion, and two negro toys
playing nearby had their clothes to
catch fire; but the flames were
smothered out befove they were burn,
ed to any extent.
The explosion was peculiar in view
of the fact that the old shell, which
was a relic of the civil war, had been
in the yard for years, in fact as far
back as the family could remember.
That the explosive with which the
sLiefll was loaded should have with
stood time and the severe weather to
which the shell was exposed is little
short of wonderful.
The explosion occurred at the foot
of Fort Hill on which is located the
main building of the public school
system, and the school children were
thrown into excitement when they
went to investigate the cause of the
loud noise which accompanied the
blowing up of the shell.

TO RIP UP AVENBE
CITVTO DEPOT.
Main Street to the Station
Will Be Improved.
Such Is the intention of City Council
in the General Improvement of
Cotton Avenue From Forsyth Street
to Passenger Depot.
Cotton avenue, one of the most im
portant of all Americus’ commercial
arteries—and one of the most neglect
ed for years is next to receive the
kindly attention of the street depart
ment, in its general and permanent
improvement, the work to be extended
from Forsyth street to the Central de
pot.
The city council has formally or
dered the improvement of the avenue,
•and the beginning of the work will be
delayed no longer than necessary.
Beginning at the Allen House cor
ner, the curbing is to be lined up prop
erly and substantial sidewalks of con
crete laid the entire distance between
that point and the Central depot, four
blocks distant.
This improvement of wretched pave
ments will be .'appreciated.
At present the west side of Cotton
avenue is “paved” with badly worn
brickbats, rendering walking very dis
agreeable. In some portions of the
walk the old brick are almost entire
ly worn away, and the substitution of
modern concrete walks between the
depot and city will be a great Improve
ment.
The council has wisely decided to
build a splendid concrete bridge over
the creek at the McGarrah street cross
ing. instead of replacing the old
wooden bridge there, as at first intend
ed. It will require about a month
wherein to build the concrete bridge,
City Engineer Ansley says.
When this is done, however, there
Will be no more bridge-building there
at frequent intervals, ?a is the case

BULLET IN HIS
HEART ENDS
LIFEJF GUNN
Americus the Scene of Sat
urday Night Tragedy.
Was Killed Last Night tn Jackson Ho
tel-Witness Says Shooting Was
Done By Nick Lamar—lnquest to
Be Held To-day.
Eugene Gunn, of Americus, was shot
and almost instantly killed at 10
o’clock last night in th' earcade of the
Jackson Hotel. The killing is sail
bj witnesses to the tragedy to have •
beten done by Nick Lamar.
This statement 'was made last nigh!
by Mr. Z. T. Anglin, proprietor of the
hotel, and others soon upon the scene.
The tragedy is said to have started ,
in a fisticuff between Gunn and Wai
ter Glover in the east passageway lead
ing from die arcade of the building.
Mr. Anglin stated that he heard thhs
scuffling and opened the door of his
room in time to see Nick Lalmar ap
proaching the men upon the floor with
a revolver in his hand. \(
Two shots rang out, the second bul
let striking Gunn, who bad risen from
the fhx>r, in or near the heart. *
“Nick, you have killed me,” is said to
have been Gunn’s last words, as lr; j
fell a corpse to the floor. The shoot
ing quickly assembled a crowd who
viewed the body on the floor.
The first shot pierced the wall about
seven feet from the floor and was bu
ried therein.
iWhat the three men were doing in
the hotel iot th*at hour is a matter of i
conjecture. Mr. Anglin said his at
tention was attracted by the fighting
in the hallway and he opened his door
in time to see the tragedy.
The other parties to the tragedy left
the scene at once and Lamar had not
been apprehended at a late hour. An
inquest will be held this morning, up
on the arrival of Coroner Jenkins from 1
Leslie.
Mr. Gunn had a wife amd two Child- .

BANK TO ERECT
NEW HOME ON
THE AVENUE |
Commercial City Has Bought
Oliver Corner.
Will Erect Early in New Year a
Haadsom Office and Bank Build
ing Upon The Site Occupied by
the Oliver Warehouse.
It was definitely learned on yester
day that the Commercial City Bank
had acquired the building now occu
pied by George Oliver as a storehouse, i
on the corner of Lamar anil Forrest
streets at the head of Cotton avenue,
and would during the coming year
erect thereon a handsome bank build- ■
ing, suitable in every requirement to
the. rapidly increasing business of this'
bank.
The new boilding will, of course,
front on I-a mar street and will not only
accommodate the bank, but will also ,
be arranged to furnish l offices, sam
ple and sales rooma for the ware
house, which will still be occupied
by George Oliver.
No plans as yet have been drawn
for t he, building, but it is safe to as
sume that it will be a model of cor
venience in every respect .and one of
the handsomest buildings m the city.
The splendid success attained toy the
Commercial City Bank since its or
ganization two years ago has been
exceedingly gratifying, noc only to
tbe officers and stockholders, but to
the business public anil people of
Americus at large who with pardona
ble pride have watched its growth and
development.
And in its handsome new home next
