SHOT HIMSELF WITH EEV0LV1B
Citizen of Snmter Shot Out Brains
Yesterday.
Mr. John H. Rumph, sovonty-eieht
-years of age and widely known
Americus and Snmter county, shot
himself through the bead with a
.yoWer yesterday morning, death
snlting instantaneously.
It is believed that the ballet was
fired with suicidal intent.
Mr. Rutnph has resided with his
family near Friendship, twelve miles
west of Americas, for several years
past.
It is said that the fatal shot was fired
in the presence of some member of bis
family, which fact would give color to
the belief that the old man, tired of
life, sought destruction by his own
hand as described.
Old age and mental despondency, no
doubt, induced the terrible deed.
Mr. Rnmpb, whon a resident
Americas, was engaged m the cotton
business and was a well known figure
about the warehouses. Recently be
was able to do but little. He'will bo
buried at The Plains today.

RAILROAD MAY SHIP AMERICUS
likely.That Cordele and Montezuma
May Get It.
’ Inaemnch as Americns is making no
effort to secnre the building of the
Brunswick & Birmingham Railway
here, it ib hardly probable that onr city
will be npon this new highway be
tween the great west and the sea.
Should it not come this way the fact
would be greatly regretted.
The construction of this new road,
backed by millions of dollars, is al
ready nnder way and will be complet
ed within the current year.
Work was started at Brunswick the
first of this week and a thousand la
borers with pick and shovel will begin
throwing np the roadbed the day the
final survey is finished.
Both Cordele and Montezuma are at
work to secnre theroad and will doubt
less succeed unless other towns pnt
forth equal inducements. So far there
are no other "candidates” in the field
in this immediate section.
It is said that one of the favored
routes is via Cordele, Monteznma and
Talbotton, the road crossing the river
above Columbus.

Georgia’s Home For Her Heroes Open*
on April 1st.
It is not known that Amerions will

some to know that this beautiful place
of refuge for the old heroes will be
opened on April 1st. By that date
everything will be in readiness to ad
mit inmates and make them comfort-
able. The delay in opening the sol
diers' homo is due to the fact that the

great many inquiries are coming in as
to when the home will be ready to re
ceive inmates.
