DEATH FOLLOWED BRIEF ILLNESS.
Zach Bell Died Sunday From-Con-
Rarely has the death of a young per
son caused such universal sadness here
as did that of Zach Bell on Sunday
afternoon whon, after an illness of two
davs, the strong, sturdy lad succumb
ed to brain congestion.
Quickly the distressing tidings
spread over the city, carrying Inex
pressible grief to hundreds here wb
knew and loved the handsome, manly
young boy, so generally esteemed.
The announcement came as a shock
to many, as his condition on Saturday
evidenced Improvement.
Friday afternoon, while at bis usual
work In ithe store, he was seized with
brain congestion. Convulsions tol
lowed at a later period and, despite the
best medical skill, the end came at
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
And thus s young life gees out In
the bloom of strong, vigorous youth,
and a pall hangs over one of the hap
piest homes In Americus.
Zach Bell—everybody lovgd him—
was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
L. Bell, and while strong and fully
developed for his years, a manly, ster
ling youth,possessed a spirit of gentle,
ness unusual In boys of bis age.
Quiet, modest and unassuming, with
the gentleness of a girl and the cool
courage of a hero withal, the impres
sion made was ever favorable and
lasting. None knew Zach Bell but to
esteem him in the highest degree.
The pnde of hi* parent*, the idol of
sisters and brothers, * his untimely
death is inexpressibly sad lndeod.
Though light-hearted, buoyant and
care-free ever, Zach Bell was possessed
of deep religious convictions, and not
long since was baptized as a member
of Furlow Lawn Baptist church.
The funeral services yesterdav morn
ing, conducted by the pastor, Rev. R.
L. Bivins, were most Impreasive, and
attended by hundreds of sorrowing
friends. Rarely, In fact, has a larger
funeral over been witnessed here.
The pallbearers, young friends of the
dead boy, were Will Miller, Griffith
Kldridge, Watts Markett, Frank
Marshall, Irving Poole and Hey* Me.

beautiful and most profuse.
It was a sad, tearful, heart-rending
occasion, vet beautiful In pathos, ten

The county school teachers of Sum

institute here, and the proceedings of
five days promise to be of much Inter
est and benefit to the several teachers
in attendance, as strongly indicated
already.
The session Monday morning was
held at the office of Supt. Moore at the
courthouse, opening with prayer by
Rev. C. A. Phillips.

Washington, D. C. June 10—The
most important political matter now
under consldeiation Is the selection of
the manager for Sect. Taft’s campaign
outside of Ohio. In view of the
situation in that state, it Is vital to
the Secretary’s interests that no mis
take be made In the selection.
Since the entry of Mr Taft Into the
Presidential' race several men promi
nent in the Republican party have
been mentioned in connection with
. T. Price as secretary.
The following named

sixteen in number, or about half the

The absentees at the opening will
doubtless be present today.
After an address from Supt. Moore,
outlining the work of the Institution,
the teachers proceeded to business.
The first number of the program
was spelling, Miss Cora Cocke leading
discussion and explain’ng her
method of teaching this branch in
primary classes. Her views, as ex
pressed, evidenced a fine knowledge of
this feature of school work.
Miss Annis Clark followed, giving
her plans and methods for primary
grades. Her’s was an excellent paper
and received most favorable criticism
from the teachers.
A general discussion followed, in
wlch Mrs. Price, Prof. Price and Prof.
-Kenyon took a leading part.
At the afternoon session penmanship
was the subject discussed. Prot. F. E.
Morton outlined the system fully,
giving In- detail the good and bad
phases a penmanship and emphasized
the Importance of speed and legibility

BIG LINES TO MAKE A FIGHT
Dr.
Will Enjoin the Commission From Enforcement of Re

STARTING UPON A LONG JOURNEY
Leaving Americus for the Philippine
Islands.
It is already practically assured that
the railroads of the state with possibly
one or two exceptions ontside of those
whose rates have been reduced below
3 cents per mile will go into the courts
ln opposition to the Railroad Commis
sion’s Older reducing passenger fares.
The three-cent roads will not fight
Practically all of them are now charg
ing three cents per mile.
The roads whose rate were cat below
three centa are expected to enjoin the
commission and carry the question
through the gamut of the courts, so
that It will probably be a year before
the people of the state will enj^y the
reductions, provided the courts then
uphold them.
The policy of the railroads, the ma
jority of them at least, is to fight r at
every step.
The Seaboard Air Line Railroad has
for an nj unci tlon against the commis
sion's order reclassifying It and there
by reducing its maximum freight rates
ahaari 10 per cent.
Thus five of the roads reclassified to I United” States,

mission's orders in the United States
Court. The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Is the only one which has
agreed to abide by the board’s action.
