Diacovered in Clump Bushes -Sheriff
Martin Notified and Goes With
Posse to Effect Arrest.-One
Killed, the Other May Die.
Pile white ineu who attempted to
assassinate Judge Henry H. Singleta
ry at La Crosse last Tuesday uight
have just paid the penalty of that most
utrocionB crime with their lives.
Both were shot to pieces near Lees
burg shortly after noon Thursday.
Their crime was a most atrocious one
and, uo doubt, the circumstances fully
warranted the snmmary shooting of
both yesterday by an armed posso
which was trying to effect the arrest of
the desperadoes.
The posse was headed by Sheriff
Martin, of Lee county, a bruve and in
trepid officer, and was made up of men
equally fearless.
Chief of Police \Vheeler and City
Murshal Feagiu, of Americus, were
there.
These two officers were in Leesburg,
having trailed tbu robbers from this
city whence they came after robbing
Siugletary's sto-e and attempting to
kill him on Tue.-day night last.
The posse found the furgitives near
the corporate limits of Leesburg.
When order, d to surrender the rob
bers, it is said, lined up to tight and
each side lired about the same time.
At the crack of the guns both robbers
fell to the ground, each pierced by a
load of buckshot.
One was instantly killed and the
other mortally wounded.
The whole affair was ended in live
minutes, and two lawless, would-be
murderers thus put out of the way for
all time.
The robbers were game, and each
carried a big Colt’s revolver,44 calibre.
Very naturally the affair caused
much excitement at Leesburg, where
the dead and wounded robbers were
carried as quickly as possible, a great
crowd having gathered.
The news of the killing created some
excitement here as well.
The wounded robber, it is said, con
fessed to the robbery of Singletary's
store and the attempt made upon his
life. About §140 of the stolen money
was recovered, by tho posse yesterday.
The man also claimed that the two
osided near Houston, Texas.
At a late hour last night the fellow
was still breathing, though, tho end
was a mattor of a short time only ns he
was shot almost to pieces. It was in
deed a tragic fluale to a dastardly aud
cowardly crime.
BRANCH BANK AT ELLAVILLE.
THAT THRIFTY TOWN TO HAVE
FACILITIES
For Banking—The Bank of Southwes
tern Georgia to Establish a Branch
Institution There Under Man
agement of A. J. Walters.
Americas’ thrifty little neighbor,
Ellavillc, is going to have a bank right
awnj\
For a long wbi | e the need of such an
institution there has been felt, and the
merchants aud citizens of the town are
doubtless highly gratified at the fact
that this great convenience is to be
afforded them and at an early date
The Bank of Southwestern Georgia
is behind the movement to give Ella-
ville a hank.
This is one of the largest and most
solid financial institutions in this part
of the state, and its very liberal charter
authorizes the establishment of branch
banks in other cities, as well as to do
business in Amoricus.
The question has been carefully con
sidered with the result as herein stated
A day or two ago President J. W.
Wheatley, Cashier Smith and Mr. R.
J. Perry, of the board of directors went
over to Ellaville for tho purpose of con
ferring with merchants there upon this
subject.
This proposition met with favor;
a well equipped building was secured
and necessary details of the business
perfected.
The affairs of the branch bank will
be directed by tho board of directors
of tho Bank of Southwestern Georgia
here, uud a liberal though conserva
tive policy will be pursued in negotiat
ing leans aud otherwise managing its
affairs.
Mr. A. J. Walters, of Ellaville, who
was connected with tho old Planter^
Bank there, will be the local manager
of the branch institution
Besides being of assistance to mer
chants aud business men of Ellaville,
the Bank of Southwestern Georgia will
derive great benefit in thus extendin
its business in that direction where a
desirable class of customers will be
secured.

The dead body of Mr. J. S. Etlis,
resideut of Americus, was found at an
early hoar yesterday morning under
the railroad bridge spanning Spring
Creek on tbe Alabama Midland Rail
way, eleven miles west of Bainbridge.
The aunouncement of . his tragic
death was a great shock (6’ his family
here.
The first known of it was a telegram
yesterday morning from Division Ku
perintendent Fitzsimmons, of the
Plant System, to Mayor Hixon, ap
prising him of tho finding of the body
at Spring Creek bridge. It was at
once identified by letters fonnd in the
dead man’s pockets.
Mr. Ellis resided with his family at
628 East Fnrlow street, this city, leav
ing recently for south Georgia
search of work.
Until reoeutly he was employed by
the Central Railway on a section near
Americus, but was probably out of em
ployment at the time of his tragic
death. The manner in whieh he was
killed was not stated in the brief dis
patch received yesterday from Supt,
Fitzsimmons
The sad news was carried to tho bo-
reaved family hero as soon as possible.
It is said that thoy are in reduced
circumstances, and this terrible blow
renders their condition all the more
pitiable. Mrs. Ellis was very anxious
to have the body of her husband
brought bore for interment and the
railroad authorities at Brinson wore so
notified.
The remains should reaSh Amerieus
this morning.
The bereaved wife and six fatherless
little ones have tho sympathy of all in
their great aflliction. Mr. Ellis was
well known here and esteemed among
his associates aud friends generally.

IS IT RIGHT
Absolutely Prohibits Banks From Af-
fixing Stamp* to Checks Unstamp
ed When Presented. New
Baling is Now Effective
Americas bnsiness men and others
doing business with the banks are in
terested in a new ruling relative to tbe
affixing of revenne stamps to checks
before presenting them for payment,
the new rule being somewhat different
from that in force quite reoently.
A Washington dispatch yesterday
stated that Commissioner Wilson of in
ternal revenne has issued a circular
absolutely prohibiting banka from af
fixing stamps to checks unstamped
when presented, and requiring them to
return the same to tbe drawer. In his
cironlar to collectors, the commissioner
says:
“Yon aro directed to notify the hanks
that are gnilty of stamping unstamped
checks that, if the practice is not im
mediately discontinued they will be
reported to the United States district
attorney for proseention.
Tho instruction contained in Treas
ury Decision No. 190011, nnder date of’
June 29, 1898, to the effect that there
wa^ no objection to tbe affixing by tbe
bank of reqnisite stumps to an nn
stumped check presonted for payment
is hereby rovoked.
This instruction was given to moet
an emergency immediately preceding
the taking effect of tho stamp act of
July 1, 1898, in order to obviate the
necessity of returning by the banks
thousands bf nnstsmped checks issued
by drawers in ignorance of the law.
Tho law boing now generally under
stood there is no further need of such
permission.’’ •
This action was taken upon informa
tion that certain banks had adopted
tho praatice of not requiring stamps
as an advertisement to secure patron
age as against rival banks.
From the above circular it will be
scca that drawers of checks must af
fix and cancel the requeiteff-cent stamp
before said check will be accepted by
the kauk upon which it is drawn.
Americus bankers aro anxions that the
now law bo understood at once that
vexations delays may be avoided.
Stamp your own checks hereafter
ALL WOMEN

A druggist in Mtcon, Ga., says: “I
have sold a large quantity of Mother's
Friend, and have nevet known an In
stance where it his falleifTo produce the
good results claimed for It. All women
agree that it makes labor shorter and less
painful.”
To bo learned is to have a full roser

For an Editor to Recommend Patent

From Sylvan Valtey N ews.revatd, N.
It may bo a question whether the edi
tor of a newspaper has tbe right to pub
licly recommend any of the various pro
prietary msdiolues which flood the
markot, yet as a pruveotive of suffering
we feel it a- duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Colera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this remedy In our family for twen
ty years and have always found It relia
ble. In many casea a dose of this reme
dy would save hours of suffering while
a physician Is awaited. We do cot be
lieve iu depending implloitly on any
medicine tor a cure, but we do believe
that if a battle of Chamberlain's Diar
rhoea Remedy were, kept on hand and
administered at the Inoeptlon of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and In very many eases the presence of
a physician would not bo required. At
least this has been our experience dur
ing past twenty years. For sale by J. It.
