HELD IN JAIL
ON THE CHARGE
OFJURDER
Slayer of Eugene Gunn in
Custody.
Nick Lamar and Waller Glover Are
Both Held As Result of the Horn
icide Saturday Night, the Killing
ot Eugene Gunn.
LAs the result of the 'homicide here
Saturday night wherein Eugene Gunn
was shot through the heart by Nick
Lamar, as charged, both Lamar and
Walter Glover are confined in the
county jail. Lamar was arrested
shortly after the killing, while Walter
Glover was taken into custody Sun
day'.
Hot'.. 1 will be held /pending the ac
tion of the grand jury, which assem
bles on t)he 28th ins!t„ 'unless ex
tenuating circumstances should; de
velop at preliminary trial held earlier.
Both are held upon warrants charg
ing murder directly.
The killing of Eugene Gunn at 9:;i0
o’clock Saturday night at the Jackson
hotel, as told in the Times-Recorder
Sunday morning, has created a sen
sation such as Ainericus has not
known in many vears.
It ihas been the theme of conversa
tion mpon the streets and in homes
since the crime was committed, and
every detail is eagerly seized upon.
.Many Witnesses to Killing.
As there were quite a number of
witnesses to (he tragedy an inquest
was not held, and the body of the
slain man was removed from the seem
of homicide late .Saturday night tc
the parlor? of the Allison Undertak
ing Co. and prepared for burial, be
ing carried to his home later.
Many conflicting stories of the hom
icide have been circulated, but the po
lice Lave accumulated ipositive evi
dence, they state, which -will be ,pro
luced in time.
As told Sunday morning, the three
men had been in a room of the hotel
for some time when a fight 'was pre
cipitated, Gunn and Glover continu
ing the struggle to the hallway where
it is stated, the latter called upon Li
mar to shoot Gunn, who had 'him
down.
It was then that Lamar, it is said
used his ever-ready pistol with terri
hie effect, shooting Gunn directly
through the heart.
Not Involved in Figlit.
According to the statement of Mr
Z. T. Anglin, proprietor of the ho
tel, immediately after the killing oc
curred, Nick Lamar ran towards the
men, pistol in hand. Gunn had just
irisen, ,probably at the call of Glove>
to Lamar, and was standing up when
he was shot.
The officers say that the mark, or
slight cut, on Lamar’s neck can Ik
explained in due time. It was of triv
ial nature.
This bloody tragedy, while deplored
by ail, i s not surprising, as the de
fendant, Nick Lamar, has been in sev
eral affrays of almost similar nature
within the last year or two, and if
has long been feared that a tragedy
jiust such as has occurred, would be
the inevitable end.
Only three weeks ago he terribly

while the case against him for shoot
ing Police Officer Cloud, two years
ago was never even tried in court.

HOSPITAL IS
KEPT FILLED
JO LIMIT
Larger Building Must Soon
Be Provided.
Institution Would Then Speedily Be
come Sell Supporting and Prove
a Popular and Highly Effective Ad
vertisement of City’s Progress.
The need of a new and larger hos
pital for Ainericus has been frequent
ly demonstrated in the past year. For
several weeks past, for instance, the
hospital has been filled to the limit
and has been compelled to refuse ad
mission to those who desired to -avail
themselves of its accommodations. Sev
eral morte rooms could have 'been occu
pied by parties from outside of the city
if they had been available.
Would Support Itself.
“If we had ;a new, modern, and suf
ficiently large hospital, within five
years it would he entirely self support
ing,” said Dr. Prather in discussing
the conditions that exist. “By self sup
porting I mean that the regular in
come from tbe patients would be ad?
finale to carry it along and there would
be no further need for appeals to the
city, the county, the business organ
izations and the public generally for
funds every now and then.
“It hag already been demonstrated
that the people will use a hospital.
Whatever prejudice may Lave existed
among some has been removed by the
l c ports that have gone out from the
patients treated iat the Americus hos
pital and the fine results obtained.
People realize now more than they
have ever done in the past that in ill
ness, and especially in cases of i-a se
rious nature, or where a surgical op
eration is necessary, there is only one
place to go to get the proper attention
and the best results* and that is a
hospital.
Would Draw From Large Territory.
“Now we have a large territory trib
utary to Americus, a territory whose
people are becoming more and more
prosperous and more and .more inclin
ed to avail themselves of the oppor
tunity a hospital affords to recover in
the event of illness. Given a modern,
well equipped -and commodious build
ing and wit! tin a very short time .the
patients coming here from the coun
try and other towns, and the patients
from the city itself, would carry the
financial needs of the institution.
''We must have a building, and the
sooner we have it the 'better. It will
be a fine tiling for Americus, it will be
something we 'will all be proud of, it
will >be a good investment for the bus
iness interests and it will be a wonder
fully effective advertisement for the
progressiveness of the city.”
COTTON CROP DAMAGE

Commissioner Hudson’s Estimate oil
Loss From Cold AVave.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Atlanta, Ga., October 31.—Georgia’s
cotton crop was damaged to the ex
tent of $750,000 by the recent cold
weather, which was 'accompanied by
a premature snow storm and killing
frost, according to Commissioner T
G. Hudson, of tbe agricultural depart
ment. Commissioner Hudson returned
to Atlanta Sunday night from a tour
of inspection that carried him all over

Overcome
constipation permanently by proper
personal co-operation with the bene
ficial effects of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, when required. The
forming of regular habits is most im
portant and while endeavoring to
form them the assistance of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna is most val
uable, as it is the only laxative which
acts without disturbing the natural
functions and without debilitating and
it is the one laxative which leaves the
internal organs in a naturally healthy
condition, thereby really aiding one in
that way. To get its beneficial effects,
buy the genuine manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for

of Figs and Elixir of Senna is never
classed by the well-informed with
medicines which make extravagant
and unfounded claims to cure habitual

810 LAND SALE
MADE IN SUMTER
WITHIN MONTH
Local Company Has Record
October Sales.
Total Aggregate is Near to $150,000
For the Month--Other Agencies
Here Report Excellent Sales From
Land Also.
One hundred and forty-nine thous
and dollars represents the cash sales,
in the aggregate, of farm lands near
Americus made during the month of
October just ended., by a local real
estate agency, white the 'sales of
other agencies here will 'put the grand
total much higher.
One half million dollars for the
month its probably a conservative, es
timate of sales here.
The Southern Land Co., with head
quarters in Americus, reports totil
sales of $139,050 for October, which
indicates the business done by that
single agency.
These sales included farm lands in
Sumter and adjoining counties, besides
a timber lease of $5,000. Many sec
tiers Dave thus been brought to Sun
ter county by this company and others
here, while the numerous sales effect
ed have advanced the value of other
lands over the county.
More than one million dollars has
thus flown into Americus within the
current year as payment for farming
lands sold h%re, principally to 'South
Carolina investors. This is a tremen
dous sum and reflects advancing val
ues and the general development of
the county along agricultural lines.
And the investors are still coming
despite the high prices confronting
d'em, and other sales still will be ef
fected this fall.
TALKS TO-NIGHT ON

'Speeches will be made urging those
in favor of municipal ownership to
turn out and register and put them
selves in a position to vote in the bond
election on next Tuesday.
There will be also talks along tbe
line of the results achieved in other
towns where such plants are owned
and operated by local governments.
FOUNDER OF RED ( ROSS

Originator of Grand Work Has Gone

(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Geneva, Switzerland, October 31.

staying for several weeks in an at
tempt to recover his health. «

RECEIPTS OF COT
TON AWAY OFT
UP TO DATE..
Comparison of Receipts For
Seven Years Here.
How the Staple Has Relied Into Amer
icus to the Close of October, and
How the Price For Middling Has
Ruled.
October closed with spot cotton
bringing in Americus about a cent be- 1
low the ruling price last year, while *
receipts are about twenty-eight per 1
ce’nt. below what they were for the
corresponding period of last season
and less than they have been up io
the close of October in any of a mum 1
ber e's recent years.
While the receipts are so much
smaller than last year, or the year
,prior to that, the ertfp is reported, to *
be closer picked and closer marketed «
than during either of the past seasons.
The original estimates that the crop
of 1910 would show a deficiency of
thirty to thirty-five per cent, seem to
be apt to he sustained by the total for
the season, -as there is more apt to be a
further shortage than to have any of
the deficiency up to this date made up j
during the remainder of the cotton ’
year.
Below are gjven the receipts up to
I October 31, seven yeans, together with
the closing quotation for middling cot
ton at Americus at that date for the '
same years. It will be of interest as
showing the crop movement and also
as a guide for comparisons as to
what the crop of this year means in
a monetary way, when compared to
those of previous years, although since
1994 every year has apparently seen
true cost of production increasing and
fourteen cent cotton today does not
imply a corresponding increase in net I
results as compared with nine cent '
cotton a few years back, as all ac
quainted with the staple are aware:
Year Bales to Oct. 31. Middling

FINE EXHIBIT IS GIVEN [
BE SOUTH’S RESOURCES
Southern Railway Has Dis
play at Illinois Fair.
(Special ito Times-Recorder.)
Springfield. 111., October 31.—The Il
linois State Fair for 1910, which has
just closed, had on display in excel
lent arrangement ‘and interesting va
riety, a fine exhibit of agricultural
and horticultural products from
Southern territory tributary to the
lines of the Southern Railway, the 1
Central of Georgia, the Seaboard and
the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroads.
Representatives of these railways 4
were in attendance, interviewing inter
ested callers and distributing informa
tion personally and through special
literature. Thousands of people visit
ed the booth during the fair.
A good opportunity was given them j |
ito learn, without incurring the ex
pense of a tour through the South, the!
character and extent of its resources,
ail'd the opportunities there awaiting]
farmers who are considering new 10-l
cations and who desire authentic is
formation concerning general condi
tions in the Southeast.
This exhibit, like others the Sooth- 1
era Railway system has made tils
year, developed much interest among
the visitors, justifying the .policy oi
the company in giving practical dem
onstration to the people of the North
of what may be and is grown in the
South, an'd the progress being made ii
agricultural development.*
The representatives in charge of tho
exhibit report that large numbers of
farmers are considering a removal to
