ELECTRIC LINE IS ASSURED
Began Work Upon the Farm and
From This Modest Beginning Has
Attained Success in the
Commercial World.
To the end of providing a new home
for the Dodeon Pharmacy and ono in
keeping with the rapid growth ot Its
buainesa, a lease of the former Granber
ry building, at Lamar and Jackson
streets, for a term of years has been ef
fected by this enterprisng company.
And a beautiful and modern building
will take the place of this ancient land
mark, which enjoys the distinction of
being the first brick building erer
erected in Americas.
This was away back in 1850, and the
man who moulded the brick for it is
still right here.
He Is Mr. A. A. Willett, an old and
honored citizen. At that time there
was a pond where nowstands tbehand-
some residence of Judge /. A. Little
john, and the brick for this old build
ing, a palace in its day, were. made by
Mr. Willett right theft-e.
The building was erected for Forlow
A Bro., at that time engaged in mer
cantile business.
And now after a lapse of nearly sixty
years the old building is to give place
to a modern structure, Tomorrow the
Tont walls will be pulled down, and
half the side wall.
Mr. Dodson will put in a handsome
plate glass front the full length of the
building om Lamar street, and nearly
the length da Jackson street. This will
give to the new structure a strikingly
handsome appearance.
Marble tiling will compose the floor,
while a steoli celling will add to, the
beauty of the building. The new struc
ture will have every modern conven
ience and appliance for a model phar
macy, and will be ready for occupancy
early In September.
The coat of the Improvements will be
$4,000 or $5,000, and nothing will be!

Mr. Richard E. Allison, the subject
of this ' sketch, was born in White
county, Georgia, near Cleveland, on
September 5, 1860. His father was
Mr. L. K. Allison, a Confederate sol
dier, who served full four years in the
Southern service in Company G,
Twenty-fourth Georgia. His father
died in 1898, aged 69 years. His moth
er, nee Miss Martha Sims, died when
Robert was eight years of age.
Mr. Allison was reared on that best
of all places for the development of
sturdy manhood, a farm, and received
a common school education from the
pedagogues of the vicinity.
When he was in his teens he came
to Middle Georgia and secured em
ployment with Mr. X. C. Lee, a largo
planter, and conducted an extensive
mercantile establishment as well. For
six years Mr. Allison remained in his
service, laying the foundations for his
subsequent business career, and se
curing an excellent insight into busi
ness affairs in general.
From this position Mr. Allison re-
No Doubt as to

Albany Line.
ALL ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOW FULLY COMPLETED
And Construction Work Will Be Started Within the Next Thirty
Days, It Is Said.

are provided gives confidence to the
promoters that all is well with the en

And Americus rejoices therein, as
will the citizens of all. towns and
others along the proposed route.
For the Macon, Americus A Albany
Electric Railway is going to provo a
mighty factor in the general and ma
terial development of southwestern
Georgia, and in numerous ways.
It establishes a trunk line from Al
bany to the State capital, affording
rapid and cheap transportation fac
ilities. Its policy will be to build up
and develop the section traversed,
establish manufacturing enterprises
and promote the growth of this
section.
At the meeting held in Macon a day

THE ,GIBBET FOR BUNDRICK
Jj
Prison Commission Refused to Commute the Death
Sentence.
George W. Bundrlck, the. Crisp
county murderer who sawed out of
tho A merlcus Jail and lied • to Cali
fornia, from whence ho was recently
brought backjto the scene of his dia
bolical crlmo near Cordelo, Is really to
be hangod there on next Friday.
The I’rlson Commission has declined
to commute tho doath penalty im
posed to life servitude.
News of the result of his appeal to
that tribunal reached Amorlcus yester
day and created some little surprise,
as it was generally beliorod the com
mission would yield to the pressure
brought to commute tho death sen
tence.
Tho commission, howover, did not
take that view of tho case. The evi
dence leaves no doubt of the fact that
the murder of Shrewder was a horrible
crime, and the commission feels it was
one for which full punishment should
be inflicted.
Sbrowdcr and Bundrlck bad hail a
quarrcljind Bundrlck proposed that
they should meet and fight it out'
Shrowder was a small man; Bundrlck
a largo one. Shrowder said ho was no
match for Bundrlck.
“Then let's meet and shoot it out,"
Shrowder agreed and tho timo and
place were appointed.
But Bundrlck did not wait to engage
in tbe duel as arranged. He and bis
brother, so It is charged, sprang up
from behind a bush in the road as
Shrowder was driving home from the
depet with his wlfo.
They fired upon Shrowder, killing
him, and shot his w ( lfe in the back of
tbe lioud, ^ Mr. Shrewder', wife sur
vived but still sutlers from a wouud
from whi?li site will never recover.
The other Bundrlck alleged an alibi
which was sworn to by his mother
and others. George Bundrlck himself
stated that his brother was not witii
htm when the killing was done. For
this reason the jury sent him to tho
penitentiary.
There was^io doubt in George Bund-
rick's case.
He was convicted and sentenced to
be bunged. The case went through
the courta and the prison commission
declined to interfere. Governor Terrell
then grunted Bundrlck a respite In
order that tho prison commission
might again consider the case,
Before It could be heard ho escaped
from the Americus jail, whore ho was
confined, and later, tormented by tbe
thought that he was being pursued,
gave himself up to the authorities at
I/OS Angeles, Cal.

Doctors failed to help me, and all hope
had 'fled when I began taking Dr.

AMERICUS BOY WINS THE HONORS
Awarded Class Medal Over 350 Com
petitors. '
The many Americus friends of Cadet
Walter Rylander, of the Staunton, Va,
Military Academy, will be highly
gratified upon learning of his success
In winning yesterday the individual
competitive medal, contested for by
over 350 cadets of tbe Academy.
The pleasing announcement was con.
veyed in a telegram to his father, M r.
Arthur Rylander.
This Is Indeed a marked distinction
when It is remembered that the Staun
ton Academy Is one ot tho best military
schools in' the United States, ranking
third in tbe list.
Walter Rylander and J. D. Hooks,
the young son of Mr. Thomas B.
Hooks of Americus, have made envia
ble records at tbe Academy, both in
studies, in the military branch and in
athletics. This Is their first year in
the school, and their success has been
marked.
The Staunton Cadets have Just re
turned to tho Academy from James
town, where they went for a week 350
strong. Cadets Hooks and Rylander
left tbe Academy yesterday and will
spend two weeks in Washington and
Philadelphia before returning homo.
From New York they will sail by
Savannah steamer for Americus to
spend their vacation.
He Fired The St'ck.
‘I have fired the walking-stick I've
earned over 40 years, on account of a
sore that resisted every kind of treat
ment, until I tried Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve; that has healed tbe sore and
made mo a haftiy man,” writes John

FEW PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL
Number of # Fever Cases There
Diminishes.
Whereas, the city hospital contained
ten[or a dozen patients a woek ago but
three remain there now, tho othors
having recovered and gone to their
homes. Of theso latter Mrs. George
Turpin Jr., ill recently with fever, bas
recovered sufficiently to tie taken to
hor homo. Tliore aro but two fover
patients In tho hospital at present, Dr.
Wade Chambliss and Mrs. W. K. Wood,
both upon the road to recovery.
The cases assigned for trial In
superior court this week are of con
siderable interest, more especially
that of the old Bank of Americas,
suit against stockholders, and In
which an adjustment will doubtless,
be effected'. The suit of Maddox
against tbe Seaboard Railway for
alleged personal damages, and In
which $20,000 is the amount sued for.
will dountless be tried this week. An
able array of counsol represents the
two sides of this suit. Tho Hird-
Broadhurst case, quite likely, will be
heard this week as well, along with
others of more or less interest and
Importance.
AMERICUS MAY HAVE THREAD WAR
As Result of Advance In Price of
Spools.
A cent Is a small thing to kick
about, but in behalf of the thousands
of ladles of this section who will be'
affected thereby tbe Pinkston' Com
pany'of Americas Is going to kick,
and kick hard, against the order sent
ont by the Coates Thread Co. to ad.
vance tbe price of thread from 5 to ff
cents a spool. la other words, this
enterprising firm is going to contlnne
right on selling Coates thread at 5
cents,, despite tbe alleged effort or
competitors here to have it "irozen
out’’ by’tho thread trust. The advance
is unwaranted in the first place, , and
the penny business will prove an In
tolerable nnisance. This is not a
penny section of the United States;
people abhor pennies, and to buy n
spool of thread will necessitate the
purchaser lugging away a handful of
the germ-intected coins. Despite tire
royal mandate of King Coates tire
Pinkston Co. Is going to sell thousands
of dozens of Its thread at 5 cents—the
old price—whether or not others hero
advance the cost and despite tho
alleged attempted boycott.
