Funera Arrangements • Not Yet
Completed, But Body Likely
to Be Brought to America
MENTONE, France, May 16—(By
the Associated Press) —George Jay
Gould, the American financier who
has been 111 at Cape Martin near here
died at 3 o’clock this morning.
George Jay Gould, financier and
railroad man, succeeded to the lead
ership of the .famous Gould family
upon the death of his father, Jay
Gould, December 2, 1892.
Mr. Gould’s first marriage was in
1886 to Edith Kingdon who dropped
dead while playing golf on the Gould
estate at Lakewod, N. J., in Novem
ber, 1921. From this union there were
five children. •
In May, 1922, Mr. Gouid married
Jeanne Sinclair, a former actress,
30 years his junior. The second mar
riage was regarded almost as much
of an elopement as the marriage of
three of his children, Edith, George,
Jr., and Kingdon. As a consequence
of this second marriage, Mr. Gould
lost property valued at $3,000,000
left by his first wife, which reverted
to a trust fund for her children.
While Mr. Gould apparently en
joyed good he;flth he spent most of
his time in Europe recuperating from
bronchial trouble. In the spring of
1923 he became seriously ill while in
Egypt, and was hurried back to his
villa in southern France suffering
from pneumonia.
Funeral arrangements had not
be?n announced late this afternoon,
but it is probable the body will be
taken to New York for interment.

IN SUMTER FIELDS IBW j
Yield of Small Grain Here This
Year Somewhat Curtailed by
Unseasonable Weather
PLENTY TO SUPPLY NEEDS'
Farmers Need Dry Spell Nov/ to
Facilitate Harvesting and Sav
ing of Grain Now Being Cut
Sumter county farmers are now
going ahead rapidly with the work
of havesting their oat crops, the
yield of which is estimated, conserv
atively, at around 200,000 bushels.
This yield represents a falling off of
approximately 5,000 bushels in the
annual production of oats here, but
will provide plenty of grain for farm
needs until early corn is harvested
this fall.
Unseasonable weather conditions
during the growing season is ascrib
ed as the cause for the reduced oats
yield here and to this cause also is
ascribed an inferior condition now
manifest in many fields around
Americus.
The work of harvesting is now
well under way and the crop has al
ready been cut upon something like
500 acres, this representing ap
proximately half the acreage de-,
voted to the production of oats in
the county this year Several days
dry weather are now badly needed.
The estimated total production of
200,000 bushels is based upon an av
erage yield of 18-20 bushels per acre
this figure being as ex
tremely low among those familiar
with past oat yields here.
Does Americus Want A Band?
Montezuma has its band. Cordele and Dawson have organized
bands. And towns even smaller have splendid municipal brass bands
of from 30 to 45 pieces.
Americus now has the nucleus of a splendid band, composed of
20 young men, who are anxious to study and practice, donating their
services to the town- A trained bandmaster has been secured. There
is a waiting list of applicants. Only instruments dre needed to enlarge
the number from 20 to probably as high as 40.
Most every progressive town has its brass band. There are many
occasions when such an organization will mean a great deal to the
city- In a few days we will have the Association of County Commis
sioners here. If we had a band, what a stimulous it would give the
reception and entertainment of these men from every county in the
state.
Nights on the playground the band would bring pleasure and joy
to all of us. 1 he training is a fine thing for the boys and the young
men of the city.
This appeal is a worthy one that should receive a, hearty response
from every man in the city. Only $1,500 is needed to put it over, and
SSOO of that has already been subscribed.
Sign the Llank below and mail it (with your check if convenient)
i to Walter Rylander, chairman of the band committee. Send in the
blank for any sum from SI.OO on up.
There were a number of band instruments bought by the city
several years ago. These, we are informed, were loaned to young men
■ in the city- These instruments must be turned into Walter Rylander at
I once. If you know of any one who has one of these, or who had one
! of these, please phone Mr. Rylander. •

I Heaviest Downpour in More Than
a Decade Does Considerable
Damage to Pavements
GROWING CROPS INJURED
Damage Confined Principally to
Low Sections Where Sewers
Are Inadequate
Last night’s downpour, the heav
. iesf rainfall experienced in Americus
during a decade past, precipitated
4.17 inches of water, according to
the records kept by Joe M. Bryan,
official weather observer here.
The rainfall began about 5 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon and continued
throughout the night. The heaviest
of the downpour, it was said by
those who observed the storm close
ly, came between Tuesday evening
and midnight, with skies gradually
ch aring after that hour.
Town creek, which rises rapidly
during heavy rainfall within its bas
in, overflowed its banks early Tues
day afternoon, flooding portions of
the plants of the Americus Construc
tion company, in North Americus,
and covering the pasture near Mag
nolia Dell, though little damage was
done anywhere by the stream. Muck
alee creek, which rises more slow
ly than its smaller tributary, was
rising this morning and at the site
of the concrete bridge on the Dixie
Highway west of Americus had cov
ered considerable low ground.
Wood pavements in all parts of
the business district of Americus
were damaged by the heavy rainfall,
and on South Jackson street, these
were literally washed up over a dis
tance of more than two hundred feet.
Street gangs were at work there
early, however, and the damage is
being repaired with vitrified brick,
which wii provide permanent repairs
wherever they are used. This work
is being done under supervision of
Ernest Pantone, by direction of H.
L. Mize, chairman of the streets and
lights committee of city council.
Oh Church street between Lee and
Jackson streets the flood reached its
height, with water running over the
property of R. G. Christian, Lawson
Stapleton, G. Lester Williams and
other residents there. A quantity
of trash was piled into yards in the
flooded section there, but little oth
er damage was done, except that
growing gardens and flower beds
suffered severely.
Reports from all parts of the coun.
ty stated that growing crops were
damaged at varying amounts by the
flood, and it is feared oat growers
nave sustained a severe loss. Peach
orchards were also reported to have
lost much young fruit during the
nardest downpour Tuesday afternoon
and during the early part of last
night.
60-MILE GALE
SWEEPS ATLANTA.
A tearing 60-mile gale struck At
lanta at 3:05 o’clock Tuesday aft
ernoon, with meance to lives and
widespread damage to property in
crashing signs, rooted frees, demol
ished chimneys and shattered win
dows in homes and business estab
lishments.
Traffic hazards, increased in the
windstorm and blinding rain, were
many. In the heart of the busi
ness district, peril to the lives of
pedestrians and autoists was breath
taking, with danger from showering
giass and twisted supports of heavy
tumbling s'gns at every step.
The wind blew with such force in
the narrow spaces of many streets
that the tops of parked automobiles
were blown away.
