CHILDERS IS
TO BE TRIED
ONTOIRROW
IHIII CONSECUTIVE PHIAL
200 Talesmen Have Deen
-Summoned
*
Interest this week will center upon
the trial of the Childers case, and, for
the third time within the brief space
of eight months, the details of the
tragedy whic in August last shocked
the little town of Smithville and the
state as well, will again be rehearsed
before the bar of justice.
The case has been assigned for trial
Monday morning, and the proceedings
will be ofabsorbing interest, al
though, so far as the public is ad
vised, no new evidence or features will
be adduced either by the state or de
fense.
Two hundred talesmen have been
summoned, and from this number the
twelve who will determine the fate of
Childers will be selected. It is ap
prehended that some time will be re
quired in selecting the jury, due to the
fact that many citizens are disquali
fied, or will be stricken for cause.
Many of the 200 drawn for jury
duty probably heard some of the sworn
testimony in the second trial in De
ember and may have, therefrom, form
ed and expressed an opinion relative
to the guilt or innocence of the de
fendant which, of course, would bar
them from serving as jurors.
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn, who presid
ed at the two former trials of the
Childers case, the first in Lee court iu
October last and the second time in
Sumter court in December, will
again preside in this third hearing of
this sensational case.
Since the second trial in December
two of the attorneys representing the
state, Messrs. Dudley Ragan and C. H.
Beazley, have met tragic deaths. Mr.
Ragan died from gunshot wounds ac
cidentally inflicted, while Mr. Beaz
ley died a few days since from burns
sustained from an overturned lamp.
The state will be represented by
Solicitor-General James R. Williams
and Mr. A. J. Wilkerson, while Mr.
Childers will be represented by Messrs
Frank A. Hooper, L. J. Blalock, J. B.
Hudson, W. AV. Dykes and James A.
Hixon, the latter appearing in the trial
of the Childers case for the first
time. •
Several days; it is thought, will be
consumed in the trial. The defendant,
Mr. Childers, has occupied Quarters
in the jail here since the second mis
trial in December last, not having
1 made application for bail.
SECOND CAR OF PEACHES
SHIPPED ON YESTERDAY
This Car Went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, From the
Raymond Orchard Near the City
Another carload of fine peaches, the
second car shipped from Americus and
probably the third or fourth shipped
from Georgia this season, went for
ward yesterday. This second car, as
was the first one, was made up large
ly at the Raymond orchard here, and
was sent forward to Pittsburgh, Pa.
The car contained 535 crates peaches
principally of the Greensborough va
riety, and should reach its destination
by tomorrow evening and in excellent
condition.
A pace is being set by Americus or
chardmen in getting the first peach
shipments to market as the fruit, com
mands excellent prices in the distri
bution of the early carloads. The
first car out of this territory was
shipped Thursday, June 6th, an early
date, and went forward by fast
freight to New Orleans.
The recent rains, it is said, did not
injure the early varieties of peaches
to any extent, and during the, next

( OLD AY l> JUNE
WAS FELT SATURDAY
The rpoverbial “cold day in June”
materialized Saturday, after the con
tinuous rains of the two preceeding
days. The entire day was cool enough
to be comfortable,’ while the night
brought a temperature that suggested
light wraps for many.
A cheery fire or two was noticed
last evening, showing that some were
glad to have an opportunity of add
ing to the temperature by artificial
means. Today will likely be pleas
ant also, giving welcome relief from
the recent hot weather.
week several additional carloads will
be shipped from the Raymond and
Whittle orchards here.

There were many members of the
First Methodist church who contribut
ed recently to the raising of the $6,-
000 to cancel the indebtedness of the
church up to this time. The list is,
indeed a large one and representative
of the large congregation of that
church.
The manner in which the members
of the church responded to the appeal
for funds at the time of Bishop Mor
rison’s visit is a source of gratifica
tion to the pastor and to the church
as a whole. The following list of
names, it is believed, is complete, and
embraces the names of all who con
tributed to the fund:

“CHRIST AND'
OUR CITY”-
THHERMON
TO BE PREACHED TONIGHT
At the First Methodist Church
By Rev. Chester
“Christ and Our City,” will be the
subject of the sermon to be preach
ed tonight at the First Methodist
church by the pastor, Rev. O. B. Ches
ter. The recent boxing bout held here
prompted the pastor to select this sub
ject for tonight, and he will deal at
length with that topic.
All the ministers of the city declar
ed recently their serious and unceas
ing opposition to such forms of enter
tainment as are represented in box
ing bouts. Immediately after the
bout, Mr. Chester expressed himself
as “surprised and chagrined” that
such a thing had been permitted.
The people of Americus are famil
iar with the aggressive spirit of Mr.
Chester and his endeavor to preach
without sensationalism what he thinks
is right. It is his endeavor to speak
soberly and religiously on such sub
jects, and, as he says, “with tender
love for and great patience with every
body. It is in this spirit that he will
talk tonight.
At the morning service he will
preach to the Woodmen of the World
their annual sermon. The theme of
the sermon will be “God’s Challenge
to Men.” A cordial invitations is ex
tended to the people of the city to be
present at the morning sermon for the
Woodmen, and also at the evening
sermon.

HALF OF THE STOCK HAS

Canvass Will He Pushed Vigorously Until the Entire
Amount of $25,000 is Secured
PRICE PLACE
WAS BOUGHT
_FOR $1,500
SALE WAS MAOE YESTERDAY
Shows Increasing Real Estate
Values
Fifteen thousand dollars was the
consideration in the sale yesterday of
the former Price place, out on the
Southside, fronting Lee street road
and Elm avenue and extending back
eastward to the Seaboard railway, con
taining in the aggregate about forty
five acres of very desirable property.
The sale was made by the Allison
Realty Co., of Americus, to Mr. H. H.
Halliday, president of the Carolina De
velopment Co., with headquarters i»t
Greensboro, N. C. Mr. Halladay came
to Americus prospecting and is high
ly pleased with this city and sec
tion.
The price at which the Allisonßeal
ty Co. sold the property well reflects
advancing values in realty here. Less
than a year ago, Mr. R. L. McLeod
bought the Price place for about $7,-
000 and clears a handsome profit up
on the investment, even after deduct-;
ing the cost of some improvements
made. i
Mr. Halladav states that the forty
five acres will be utilized at once f
building purposes. Streets will be
laid out through the large tract,
fronting 1,400 feet, on Lee and Elm
avenue, and many pretty surburban
homes *'ll be built there.

by the Brunswick board of Education
and a handsome silver set was present

schools.
Mr. Newton and family will move

room open from 2 until 7 o’clock in
the afternoon. Afternoon services have
been discontinued for the summer.
With the assurance already given
by the preliminary canvasses to se
cure the remaining portion of the sum
needed to make out the $25,000 pledg
ed for the city, the work will be re
sumed tomorrow and carried to a con
mlusion.
Already there is actually subscrib
ed the sum of $12,150, while $15,000
is assured for the purpose of the new
railroad. The fact that only a prelim
inary canvass has been needed to raiss
half of the sum required for the entire
work has greatly encouraged the mem
bers of the committee, who will start
again busily tomorrow morning to
push the project to a successful con
clusion.
Only about half the business men o£
the city have already been seen brr
the solicitors, according to the re
ports made by the canvassers. It is
planned to see every one in the city
who may be interested in the matter,
in case it should become necessary
for this to be done to raise the sum
needed. As the half of the citizens al
lead.v seen includes the largest sub
scribers it' will become necessary for
everybody in the city to rally to the
support of the canvassers in raising
the remaining sum.
During the canvass made Saturday
several subscribers pledged themselves
for sums of SI,OOO and SSOO. Every
one who was seen expressed himself in
favor of the road, whether he was
able to subscribe for it or not, so that
the sentiment in behalf of the new
road may be said to be practically
l nanimous. They all realize that if
will be of very great advantage to the
city to have the new road.
It was said by one of those interest
ested in the success of the movement
when he was speaking yesterday that
he believed the new road would add
500 people to the population of Ameri
cus within a year’s time. The increase
in general trade would be very large,
it is argued, and a new spirit of growth
will be infused into the city if the
new road can be secured.
ALABAMIANS
WILL COME
TOMORROW
FOR] THREE FAST GAMES
Wilder to Pitch One Game
For Locals
Dothan will be here tomorrow for a
series of three games with the local
team, the first of the series to be play
ed tomorrow afternoon. The other
two games will be played on Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons.
The Dothan team will come even
stronger than it was when it played
Americus in the Alabama city during
the week. Several places on the team
to be brought over by the visitors have
been strengthened, so that they will
he more formidable than ever for the
Champs.
It will please the local fans to know
that “Baby” Wilder will be in the
box during one of the games for the
Champs. Wilder will be in most ex
cellent form, as he has just finished
the season with the University of
Georgia team and is pitching the be3t
ball in his career on the diamond.
Some snappy baseball is promised
the fans, as the Dothan team is the
only one that has administered a
crushing defeat to the locals during
the entire season. They will come pre
pared to take the Champs’ scalp dang
ling at their belts, so that the war
tare at Dudley Field tomorrow after
noon and during the two succeeding
games will prove hot and furious.
