810 BARN BURNS
WITH CONTENTS
JT D’SQTO
Large Barn on Jones Farm
Destroyed.
Contents ot Hay, Grain and Machin
ery Wholly Destroyed—Origin ot
Fire Not Known But Supposed to
Have Been Incendiary.
Three fires in tbe country near
Americus yesterday morning swept
away a new school building, a plan
tation barn and contents, besides a
small dwelling and contents. The
fires were in different localities and
the losses in the aggregate without
insurance, amount to a considerable
sum.
The story of the fire near Plains, re
sulting in .the burning of a school
house, is told at length elsewhere.
Three miles east of Americus W. T.
Freeman lost a small dwelling house
by fire yesterday. The building was
unoccupied at the time, and stored
therein was a small quantity of cot
ton and cottonseed, all of which was
lost.
The fire resulting in greatest loss
wa s the burning of the large barn
of Mr. George D. Jones on his .farm
near DeSoto. This fire originated it
I o'clock yesterday morning, and re
sulted in the complete destruction of
the barn, together with ten tons hay.
300 or 400 bushels corn and consid
erable farm machinery.
The loss will amount to $1,500 or $2,-
000, perhaps, and is probably complete,
as there wa s little if any insurance.
WANT MINISTERS TO
CUT OUT CHEWING
Will Our W.Th U. Follow
Example of Other Towos
Will the W. C. T. U. of Americus fol
low the example set by the W. C. T. U.
of Griffin and several other Georgia
cities and request the ministers to
stop chewing tobacco, if any of them
chew tobacco?
The W. C. T. U., it appeal's, is mak
ing a crusade in a number of plaies
against the use as chewing tobacco by
the young men of their respective
communities. ,
In this work the women have been
sadly hampered, they complain, by the
example set by some of tine ministers
who learned to love the plug or the
choice cut in their younger days and
have failed, to free themselves from
the habit.
When a young disciple of the weed
is requested to cease its use as the
masculine substitute for .chewing gum,
he is quite apt to retort by calling at
tention to the fact that such and such
a clergyman is addicted to a similar
practice and that the W. C. T. U. had
better work on him for a time.
So the W. C. T. IT. in several places
is working' to the end that the clergy
Tie brought to see the error of their
way and cease setting the growing
generation such an example.
Does any minister in Americus
chew? Will the propaganda against
chewing spread to this city? And will
the W. C. T. U. request the offending
clergy, if any, to “cut it out”
E0 LOOK INTO THE
MATTER 0E A EAIR.
Committee to Prepare a
Plan For Board.
At the meeting of the Board of Trade
last night a committee composed of
frof. Cunningham, of the Agricul
tural College, Mr. Joel W. Hightower
and Secretary Gamble, were appoint
ed to look into the advisabil
ity of having a county fair for (Sum
ter county in Americus next fall and
to prepare a plan for such a fair, if
in its opinion the committee deemed it
probable that ,a fair could he made, a
success. The committee will take up
the matter in the near future, find out
what other counties havie recently
done on this line, anid report at a
/ater meeting in December.
And a woman can forgive ia man al
most everything except his failure to
admire her.
The trouble with the people who get
to the front is that they feel so big the
rest of us can’t see over their heads.

SBIFT BE TRAINS
IS PROPOSER
BUENTRAL
Americus May Have New
Route to Atlanta.
While Central Train Now Stopping
Here 10:20 P. M. May Continue to
Albany—Suggestion is Approved
By Many Here.
Americus to Atlanta byway of Co
lumbus is a new and quicker schedule
that may be adopted by the Central
railway in lieu of the circuitous route
via Macon, as now employed—the Sem
inole Limited train to Columbus, and
thence (by the Central’s morning train
via Newnan to Atlanta.
Such, at least, is the possible change
suggested, in connection with the shift
ing of other trains.
The route via Columbus to Atlanta
is shorter in mileage and the schedule
from Americus one hour faster, the
train arriving there at 10 o'clock a.
in., instead of at 11.
The .Seminole Limited starts over
the Central at Albany and passes
Americus at 3:25 a. ,m. for Columbus
and Birmingham. Passengers at
Amencus for Atlanta would start but
little earlier than now upon the jour
ney, changing cars in Columbus.
Tilt trip can be more quickly made
oy this route, and the train service
is even better.
From Macon comes the information
that this schedule is being consider
ed, though nothing of definite nature
has been given out. Such schedule
would sei'V: the public over 104 miles
of territory between Albany and Co
lumbus.
At the same time this change is ef
fected the Central might continue its
night train, No. 7, which now lays
over at Americus and returns to Ma
con and Atlanta next morning at
4:25, on to Albany. It would leave Al
bany about 6 o’clock next morning for
Macon, purely as a local train.
Passing Americus about 7:30 o’clock
a. m., it would bring many .people
liere from towns below Americas and
afford them a whole id-ay for shopping,
or until 10:20 p. m.
Americus would thus be afforded a
better train service here from Lees
burg. Smithville, Adams and Sumter,
while the morning train for Macon
would be infinitely better, leaving Here
about 8 a. m., instead of -the now
unseasonable hour of 4:25 in the anorn
ing.
It is to be hoped, especially bv
Americus merchants and the traveling
public, that the changes thus contem
plated will be made.
LAWRENGEVILIE SCENE
0E TERRIBIE HOMICIDE.
Citizen Kills Family and
I hen Shoots Self.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Lawrenceville, Ga., Nov. 1. —Suffer-
ing from temporary insanity, accord
ing to statements of members of his
family, but according to the state- 1
ments of others, frenzied, by alleged
differences that may 'have existed be
tween himself and his second wiife.
Joel D. Wallace, one of the most prom- i
inent merchants and grocery men of
this place anid former councilman, shot
and killed his wife at 2:30 o’clock this
morning, turned the revolver upon his
9-year-o!d boy, whom he killed in
stantly, shot his son, Felton, 7 years
old, and then fired three bullets into
his own body, killing himself instantly.

SIX COMPANIES MAY
COMEJNTO DRILL.
Americus Boys Will Take
Hold of Plan.
Suggested That Fourth Battalion,
Fitzgerald and Agricultural College
Cadets Join in Prize Brill Here in
February.
Corporal Groxton is wearing the
prize medal of the Americus Light
Infantry for the month of November.
In tale monthly drill in the manual on
Monday night the corporal carried oft
the honors.
The company now has fifty enlist
ed men and is rapidly improving in
General efficiency. The) inspection
Monday night, brought the -men out in
good shape and Capt. McLendon was
well satisfied with their appearance,
soldierly bearing and skill in tiand
ling their weapons and. guns.
At the meeting on next Monday night
the company will take up the question
of a prize drill between the four com
panies comprising the Fourth Battal
ion. These are the two Columbus com
panies, the Albany company and the
Americus company.
It is ibelievted tthat an invitatilan
to Ko three companies of the battal
ion to enter a prize drill at Americus
would meet with a favorable answer.
The Fitzgerald company and the-Agri
cultural College cadets would also
probably be invited to participate. The
staff officers of the Fourth Battalion
could be secuyel as judges and the
drill .pulled off in the highest military
style.
The ladies of the Library and Hos
pital Associations, working together,
would provide tine cash and medal
prizes, and the proceeds could go to
these worthy public institutions.
The boys of the local company, it is
believed, will heartily endorse the idea
next Monday night and the invitations
would soon be issued, in order to af
ford all contesting squads and indi
viduals ample opportunity for prepar
atory drilling.
WILL AMERICUS HE IN
SOUTH GEORGIA LEAGUE
Albany’s Withdrawal Has Left
Vacancy in It.
Plans for organizing a base ball
league in south Georgia have been
postponed temporarily 'by Albany, one
of the cities counted upon for meunber
shtp, getting a berth in the South At
lanti [/‘ague.
The cities interested will get to
gether at an early date and decide
whether organized base ball can be
maintained in this section at this time
or not.
The withdrawal of Albany still
leaves good material in Americus,
Tliomasville, Valdosta, Cordele, Fitz
gerald, Waycross anil Brunswick.
If the Americus fans want to have
this city represented in the League
they will have to move in that direc
tion in the near future as it will take
some time to perfect arrangements.
The more a man gets left the more
he talks about his rights.
The fellow who knows it all has lots
to learn.

REMBERT’S DRUG STORE.
WILL TAKE 400
VOTESTO CARRY
Total Registration Will Be
About 600.
So Far There Are Only Twenty Negro
Voters on the List-All Deceased
Citizens Stricken From the List—
Another Registration Ahead.
It will take about four hundred
votes in favor of them to carry either*
or all of the three proposed, bond
issues.
Up to the closing of the books last
night there were 525 names on the reg
istration list in the clerk’s office.
The names of all deceased persons
Vad been stricken from the list, and
those remaining were thoroughly alive
and capable of exercising the right of
suffrage, unless they are stricken for
some additional reason.
Os the 525 there were but 20 who
were negro voters. Whether excep
tions can be taken to any of them is
not known. Nineteen of these negro
voters were on the registration list
last December. Only one new nam*
in this class, that of a colored prop
erty owner, has been registered since
thie books were re-opened.
Today and tomorrow the delinquent
voters have a chance to register, ft
is quite probable that in the two days
75 names will 'be added, making & to
tal of 600 qualified voters.
The law requires two-thiirds in favor
of a bond issue, so 500 votes, in all
likelihood, will have to be cast favor
able to the -propositions, or any one
of the three, to make it legal for coun
cil to proceed with the issuing of the
bonds.
Very few voters owing back taxes
,iave come up and paid any amounts in
arrears to the city. The bond election
has been woefully disappointing as a
revenue getter for the municipality.
The registration will hardly be over
before it will he necessary to have
another registration put on, that for
the election of mayor and aldermen,
taking place next month.
COUNTY SCHOOL HOUSE
GOES UP IN FLAMES
New Building Destroyed On
First Day of Use.
The pew county school building, on
the Timmerman place below Plains
was completely destroyed by fire Mon
day afternoon.
The building was a substantial one
story frame structure, and had just
been built at a cost of SSOO.
Monday was the first day the build
ing was used- Owing to the cold
it was necessary to start a fire. A de
fective flue ignited the building, and
it waa soon a mas s of flames.
The teacher and children could do
nothing to save the property, and it
was soon reduced to ashes. There was
no insurance.

JIN CORN
Lad of 14 Produced 258
Bushels On an Acre.
It Beats the Record Made By Brake
In 1900-Statement Is Made That
He Has Developed New Method of
Raising Corn.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. I.—South Car
olina 'has a boy who is the champion
of the world as a corn grower. He is
only 14 years of age and has produced
258 bushels of corn on one acre of
ground. His home is in Marlborough
county where Drake produced 235
bushels about 10 years ago, which is
the greatest yield ever recorded for
one acre in the history of the world.
T-ve name of this young marvel has
not been announced,, lie is a member
of the Boys’ Corn clubs and his records
are being examined by the United
States farm demonstration department
in Washington.
Unofficially it is stated that the boy
lias developed a new method of corn
culture. The full story of how the
great yield was produced twill be print
ed as soon as it is announced by Dr.
Seaman A. Knapp from Washington.
The boy 'ivas written a detailed account
of the yield, telling every step that
was taken.
The yield is much greater than that
otf Bascombe Usher, the 17-year-old
boy who produced 152 1-2 bushels last
year and who won the national prize
for the greatest product and on all
points.
All that is known about the boy is
that he is the son of a preacher and
produced the wonderful yield on the
parsonage land.
The yield of Drake of 255 bushels is
looked upon as a marvel. The yield of
this unknown boy is even greater. He
did all of the work 'himself.

There were no further developments
yesterday growing out of the recent
homicide here, the killing of Eugene <
Hunn at the Jackson hotel on Satur
day night last, and little else is ex
pected no,w before thie assembling of
the grand jury on November 28th. it
was stated yesterday by one of the
attorneys who will represent at trial
one of the defendants, that a committal
trial flor Walter Glover might be |
asked for Thursday afternoon, al
though he w;us not absolutely sure of
this as yet, he said. A preliminary
trial in the case of Nick Lamar, he
stated, would not be asked just now,
if at all, as Superior court will con
vene in a very short while, and the
case of both defendants will doubtless
be tried at this next session before
Judge Z. H. Littlejohn.

the lead set by him. Drexel declares
that the French and English aviators
got a square deal neither from the

Business .Section of Kentucky Town is
Utterly Destroyed.
(Special to TiLmes-'Recorder.)
Millersburg, Ky., November I.—Most
of the business section of this place
was destroyed by fire today, the loss
being estimated at $200,00. Thte heav
iest individual loss was that of the im
mense tobacco warehouse located in
the heart of the town.
The conflagration was started by
sparks from a railroad engine, and
only the timely arrival of assistance
from Paris, rushed here by special
train, saved the residence portion of
the city from annihilation.
Most of you r troubles are silly
