08. GREGORY
DIED SUDDENLY
(AST NIGHT.
Prominent Physician of Amer
icas Stricken.
End Comes All Ton Suddenly and a
Shock to the Entire City—The De
ceased Was Very Highly Esteemed
Here By All.
iDr. Francis Bartow Gregory passed
away at 5:45 o’clock yesterday after
noon at his residence on Rees Park.
The end came quite suddenly and
wholly unexpectedly, as only a half
hour before he was down in the city,
professionally engaged', and seeming
ly in his usual health.
TiJe announcement of his death
came as a profound shock o,t the com
munity, as might be expected.
It was shortly after 5 o’clock that
IDr. Gregory left his office and drove
home. Feeling a little unwed he went
to his room and retired for a short
rest before tea.
Mrs. Gregory was away, at the mo
ment and it was she who made tbe
dreadful discovery upon entering the
room a half hoar thereafter. Calmly
and peacefully the end had come, and
be lay as though quietly sleeping.
Physicians were hastily summoned,
but he was beyond mortal aid. Death,
they said, ha'd resulted from some
heart affection.
The death of Dr. Gregory is a dis
tinct loss to the community and to
the profession which be so well
adorned. During a residence of four
years in Americus he had acquired a
fine practice, and as physician and cit
izen none stood higher here, or was
more universally esteemed,
Dr. Gregory was 48 years of age
and a native of Stewart county, being
a member of the distinguished family
long resident of thait county.
After his graduation at Mercer Uni
versity and medical course at Tulane,
New Orleans, be engaged in practice
at bumpkin and then in (Macon, for a
time before coming to Americus. Here
he has ranked high as a physician,
a Mason and genial, charming gentle
man.
To the stricken wife, daughter and
son, (the tenderest sympathy of the
entire city is extended in this Dour
of deepest grief and sorrow.
The linteriment will take place in
Lumpkin Friday morning at 9:BO
o’clock.
A brief funeral service Willi be held
this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the
family residence on Rees Park, and
at 3 o’clock the remains will be car

CROP IS BEST
EVER GROWN
JUUIHTER
Never Such a Corn Crop
Harvested Here.
W. B. Heys Gathers Eighteen Hun
dred Bushels From 55 Acres—
Dther Farmers Report Great
Yields as Well.
“I bave been farming all of my life
and have grown many crops of corn,
but for a real bumper (the crop now
being harvested surpasses any other, '
said Mr. William B. Heys yesterday
while purchasing new padlocks to put
upon Inis overflowing barns.
“I had only fifty-five acres in corn
this year,” continued Mr. Heys, “but
I have already gathered and weighed
into my bar ns just eighteen hundred
bushe/is.
“Every spare crib and ham is filled
with corn,” he continued laughingly,
“and even the chicken coop is filled
wiith it.”
And what is true in Mr. Heys’ case
is true in others. The farmers here
have made a phenomenal corn crop
hia year, the best one ever, perhaps,
and there will be an abundance for
their needs next year. Many Sumter
farmers still have last year’s corn on
hand.
This great grain crop will, lin a
manner, offset the very poor cotton
crop hem this year.
Sumter’s progressive farmers are
giving more attention to corn produc
tion now than formerly, and the
friendly contest engaged in recently
was an incentive to many lof tbem to
plant more corn and cultivate it more
thoroughly. Plenty of corn means
plenty of meat on the farm.
Mr. Heys stated yesterday that newer
in all his years of farming in (Sum
ter, has he ever had to buy a bushel
of corn, which fact reflects his pros
perity. There are many such good
farmers in Sumter.

His Headquarters As State Veterina
rian Here.
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, state veter
inarian, will not remove to Atlanta,
as erroneously stated yesterday. The
information was deemed entirely au
thentic, but tbe correction is cheer
fully made, as Dr. Bahmsen’s friends

will continue to reside in Americus,
though having an office in the state

that should it come to a choice be
tween leaving Americus or surren
dering the office of state veterinarian
he would unhesitatingly remain here.
Dr. Bahnsen will continue his profes
sional .work here, and' will not be?
succeeded by any one. He does not
even know the veterinarian whose
name was mentioned in this connec
tion yesterday.

B. Lye ns and his son, Archie, who are
being held in the Crisp county jail,
having been transferred here from
Glynn, have reached an agreement and
the case will be tried the second Mon

perior court in 1907.
A new trial was granted by the Su
preme court on the ground of relation
ship of one of the jurors to the pros
ecutor. The second trial resulted in
a mistrial, and the defendants asked
for a change of venue and) tbe case
was finally transferred to Crisp Su
perior court for a third hearing.
The ease will be tried before Judge
U. V. Whipple.

HOUSE-WARMING DAY AT
HIGH SGHOOL BUILDING.
Fines) Heating and Ventilating Plant in Georgia is Now
Nearly Completed aud Ready For Use.
Now that the seven horse power electric motor that is to operate the
gileat fan is in position and ready for connection ii,t will bfe bait a abort
tinnei before the heating, cooling and ventilating plant of the netw High
School—-the most modern plant, by Ithe way, in ail South Georgia—will
be in readiness for operation. Then Americus will have a school build
ing that is as far ahead of the majority of school buildings in this as it is
in many other respects.
The Most Modern System.
The High School building will be heated by wijat is known as the
steam blast system. This is acknowledged to be the most scientific and
most satisfactory system that has yet been devised for heating public build
ings, avoiding the overheating and foul air that so often accompanies th,e
old heating methods. The system is in away a combination of (the dry air
and the steam, heating systems, tout avoids the evils of both of those and
gives a uniform Beat throughout the building (that is not deprived of all
o*t its mdistfire, as with the ordinary furnace heat, and yet has none of
the sickening effect of the atmosphere heated by steam.
While heating the buildiing the system installed in tLte High School
also, as stated, ventilates the structure throughout. The air in the rooms is
sucked out every ft ,w minutes and fresh heated air thro win In to replace
it, an advantage that strikingly commended the system to those in charge
of the city’s educational affairs. Not only this, but in the summer mouths
the plaint does not lie idle, as is the case with the old style beating appara
tus. On the contrary it then becomes a cooling and ventilating plant, forc
ing fresh air into the* rooms at regular intervals, and assisting materially
in promoting tba conditions under which the teachers and the pupils carry
on their work. The evils that are so often found in school roams, .where
thirty Ito fifty persons are gathered 'for several hours, are believed ito be
completely obviated by the system that the Americus High School will
Dave ini successful operation in a few days.
Everything Adapted to Needs.
Few citizens have as yet gone through ithe High School buildiing. Yet it
is throughout a public structure of which any one can well feel proud.
In construction, in adaptation to its special work, and in the fitness of
its equipment for the purpose for which it is (to be used, the High School
appeals at once to the visitor '.is a model in every way. The furnishings are
[specially attractive. Instead of the ■old-fashioned desks and seats, one
iron-clad size to a class, the seats and desks in the High School can be rais
ed and powered aind adapted to the physical requirements of the individual
ctiil'd. In the science class room there are no desks, the lessons there par
taking more of the nature of a lecture course, and the room is accordingly
equipped with comfortable seats with arm rests on which the pupils can
place note books. In the business department room the desks are also en
tirely different from the other rooms and especially adapted to the work
carried on there. Indeed, throughout the building the .visitor finds that at
tention has been given to the details that play so important a part in
making an institution of this, character a success.
In a short time now it is proposed to have a formal opening day, a
"house warming” occasion, oil which the citizens of Americus will ibe in
vited to call and inspect their new High Scr.Lol 'building, with a program
arranged by the children tor their entertainment. To inspect the building is
to admire it, to feel a greater interest in the work that is being carried on
in it, aud to have a greater spirit of enthusiasm awakened in public educa
tional affairs.

SOCIETY ROSE
OP IN ARMS
ATTHOUGHT
Would Not Stand for Negro
in for High Office.
Senators and Congressmen and
Wives Balked at Thought of Lewis
Family Having Precedence Over
Them in Social Functions.
(Special to Times-Risorder.)
Washington, D. C., November 2.
With only about a week until Itba elec
tions, it is clearly evident that the re
publicans are badly disorganized, and
realize that never before in the history
of the G. O. P. wag the old organiza
tion machine in worse plight. With
former President Roosevellt getting the
party deeper and deeper into political
muck day by day, until 'defeat in ev
ery quarter is iimmineijt, President
Taft and Boss Hitchcock, with Attor
ney General Wiokershom made what
is believed here to be a fatal blunder
when they nominated Lewis, the Bos
ton negro, to be Wickersham’s assist
ant.
Forgot the Social Question.
They did not figure that Lewis’ so
cial status would have to 'be consider
ed. When ti.<e news that the negro
lawyer was to receive one of the
highest positions in the gift of ithe ad
ministration was flashed ito ithe world
preparations were immediately ma le
by the Lewis family—so the story
goes—to come here to Washington,
lease a house in tbe faehiinaible north
west quarter, where the diplomats, su
preme court judges and other high
dignataries reside. That put many
persons here to thinking. Would As
sistant Attorney General and Mrs.
(their official titles) take their
places at state dinners and other en
tertainments ahead of senators, mem
bers of tbe house and army and navy
officers? They certainly would do it
if the appiintment held good. That
said, the idea of having Mrs. Lewis re
turn visits of senators and congress
men's wives only after they had left
their cards for ber was something in
tolerable.
Would Rank Ahead of Senate.
Poliite and official society decrees
that certain lines of social prestige
be closely observed and in high socie
ty the Tjewis’ would rank ahead of
tbe senate, the house, the army and
navy, and next to the United States
Supreme court justices. But the thing
would not go, so the president got a tip
ito sidetrack the Ivewis family to same
minor place, where the color line will
not be so closely drawn. But the coup ,
did not work. The sop thrown out to
catch ,the negro vote failed of its
purpose, and reports coming in are
now to tbe effect Ithat the colored vot
ers are more than ever determined to
knife the republican candidates next
week. Thus the best laid plans of
mice and men often carry wrong. I
NEW YORK’S STRIKE
MAY BE ARBITRATED
If Not All Drivers Are Soon
to Go Out.
(Special Ito Times-Recorder.)
New York, November 2.—The strike
of express company drivers and help
ers neared a settlement today when
Mayor Gaynor announced that the
strikers had agreed to arbitrate.
This may prevent the general! strike
of all the teamsters in this city and
Jersey City. Arrangements had been
made to call out all union drivers in|
every line.
Drivers on delivery wagons of de
partment and dry goods stores were
to first go out. Their delegates in
formed Vice-President Hoffman of the
union that they were ready to re
spond at a moment’s notice to a strike
order.
With few exceptions every taxicab
driver, hackman, wagon or truck
driver belongs to tie Teamsters’ un
ion Mftny of the drivers for sma’l
butcher and grocery stores having on
ly one or two wagons are also en
rolled. For several days over a hun
dred organizers from the union have
been busy among those who haive net
yet taken membership, and new names
have been added rapidly.
Enormous quantities of express mat
ter have accumulated since tbe strike
began and great inconvenience has re
sulted to general business interests.
