Happy and Contented.
A Recorder man yesterday call
ed on Maj. T. M. Furlow, Tax Col
lector, and found him happy and
contented, although be does not
command as much of the "filthy
lucre” as he did of yore. He was
cetebratlughis Bevcnty-slxth anni
versary by receiving the taxes of all
those who called to pay. He looks
us if ho was ouly in his forties,
vlitch have long since departed.
His life has been a remarkable one,
uud would 1U1 a number or pages
that would be interesting to the
people of Georgia. He Is the man
that brought the Bouthwesteru rail-
td to our city, when old Pond
•own had it in her grasp. He is
:,| e man that cast the dice that
planed Furlow Masonic College In
11 r city, and he is the man that has
ted l housauds of poor people from
< store to keep the wolf from their
door. He was once a candidate for
Governor of Georgia, and now holds
the position of Tax Collector of our
eouuty. At one time Tim Furlow
" as the hero of Southwest Georgia,
aid is BO to-day In the hearts of
lna hy. We could fill several col-
utuhs referring with pride to the
n "‘ J le life of this grand old South-
f “ ri! gentleman. Ho has never been
c °unued to hie bed by elokness a
'.'ay in hie life; he hae taken a very
I'ffilted quantity of medicine; his

aay as happy and as contented as

A CONTRACTOR PLAYS A WINNING
game
And Skips Out, Leaving Some Cltisens
Short Over *200—Wanted in Way-
croaa for Bigamy.
Here's a shrewd one.
Au Americus contractor has skip
ped the town and some citizens of
Americus come up with their cash
account lacking in the amount of
over $200.
About one month ago, a man giv
ing his name as Jesse James came
to Americus from Cordele.
He claimed to be a contractor and
builder, aud secured the contract
to build a bouse for Mr. Will Mims.
This contract waB carried out mod
erately well, aud wheu it was com
pleted be made a contract with
Lieut. W. W. Wheeler, of the city
police force, to erect a house for
him.
AN OVER DRAFT.
Saturday night he went to Lieut.
Wheeler and drew a considerable
amount of money, which he wish'
ed to use iu the payment of his
hands. This was the third time he
had drawn on Lieut. Wheeler'
bank account, and in all his drafts
amounted to $274.18. Of this amount
he paid about $65 to bis hands and
for lumber, leaving a balance of
over $200.
SKIPPED THE TOWN.
Saturday night he.went down to
Maddox crossing on the Central
railroad and took the train for
Albany.
He told some persons that he was
going to Albany to meet a man, and
it lie did not find him that he would
go on to Valdosta, where lie knew
he would meet his man.
Early in the evening Lieut.
Wheeler became suspicious of the
honest Intents of the contractor,
and set about in search of him, but
did not succeed iu fludiugany trace
of the gentleman of contracting
proclivities.
Later he learned of his departure
for Albany, and telegraphed the
authorities of that place to arrest
him, but nothing was accom
plished.
WANTED FOR DIO AM Y.
The principal loosers from the con
duct of tho absconder are Hayes
& Lane, lumber dealers, and W. T.
A. Dunn. From all these gentle
men James bought material, and
in all he owed them more than
$200. About one third of this
amount was due Messrs. Haynes
& Lane, and the remainder to Mr.
Dunn.
Lieut. Wheeler learned that hlB
real uame was Tom Nixon, and
that he was wanted iu Waycross
for bigamy.
Lieut. Wheeler loses nothing
from the absconder, but with the
assistance of the other gentlemen
who were defrauded, he Ib making
every effort to bring the rascal to
justice.
The fellow is about thirty-live
years old, and weighs about one
hundred and forty pounds, and is
about five feet In helgbth. It Is
hoped that something of his where
abouts may be developed soon

Persons Going Away From Americus
Ersry Dsy Bsosute They Cannot Find
Houses.
Every day somebody goes away
from Americus because they cannot
find houses either to live in or to do
business in.
Within the past week the writer
of tills article has seen and convers
ed with more than a dozen men who
desired to mako Americus their
home and seemed to experience
much regret because they were ua
able to do bo.
All of these were good straight-
forward men, such men as would
prove a valuable acquisition to sny
city or community, and when they
went away tocast their lots in other
places and to become permanent
citizens, many of them, of other
towns aud cities, Americus suffered
a loss of what we might have gain
ed in good aud substantial citizen
ship.
Saturday there were two nion lu
the city looking for homes whom It
would have been profitable for
Americus to have obtained. One
was from Waycross and one from
Macon, but they . could find no
houses aud went away.
Mr. H. T. Gay, of Bartow, spent
yesterday in a fruitless search for a
business house aud this morning
there are dozens of men either
already in the city or who will be
here in a few days, just such as
those already mentioned,and every
time one of them gocB away the
city of Americus has allowed a dia
mond to slip through her fingers.
We must have housesfor the peo
ple who are docking here from all
quarters. These men who have
mopey to invest in business, are
glen that we cannot afford to loose,
and all that is needed is to give
them homes and business houses.
They are already convinced that
Americus is the city of Southwest
Georgia, aud are willing to risk a
lifetime here if they could only se
cure a foothold.
But wo will have houses enough
in a short time. There are some
gigantic building enterprises ma
terializing in the city and in a few
days operations will commence on a
grand scale.
TWO THIEVES CAUGHT.
The Police Officers Succeeded in Cap*
turing Two Bold Burglars.
Tuesday night two negroes broke
o|>en a window and entered a res
taurant kept by a negro woman
named Emma Wood on lower Cot
ton Avenue, and stole from the
house about $2G,
There was no clue as to who did
the stealing,but yesterday afternoon
Officer BUI Feagtn struck the trail
of the missing money and with no
othor aid than a shoe heel track in
the ground, succeeded in locating
negro named Bedford Gibson,
whom he immediately arrested.
When tho negro found he was'ln the
clatches of the law, he confessed
that ho knew something of the
stolen money and said that another
negro named Malard Thompson
had a $20 bill pined up in the lining
of his coat.
Officer Feagin, accompanied by
Officer Kay, then proceeded to ar
rest Thompson,ami upon searching
him found the money as described
by tho other negro. The negroes
then said that tho remainder of the
money was across the creek hid
under au old well shed.
The officers went over and secur
ed the money, which consisted of a
low dollars in silver wrapped up in
a rag.
Later the officers succeeded lu re
covering several articles which had
been stolen. Among them was a
drummer’s valise bearing the tytme
of J. A. Lambert, who represented
a belting house iu Atlanta. Among
the effects of the valise was an un
limited ticket over the E. T. 'V. &
G. railroad.
It was a difficult piece of work,
and would have been next to im
possible to work up had uot officer
Feagin thrown Into it the fullness
of his rich experience and shrewd
judgmeut, aud lu the work he was
ably assisted by Officer Kay, who
was on duty for his first day. The
thieves promised to develop some of
the most noted rascals in Georgia.
