REUBEN H.SLAPPEY
DIES AT RIPE AGE
NEW TICKET IS NAMED
FOR THAT OF SHERIFF
former Citizen of Ameri-
cus is Dead.
Since his removal trom Americus two
t>r three years ago. The death of Mr.
Slappey followed a long illness, and
therefore, was not unexpected.
Mr. Slappey was ripe in years, hav-
■^ng passed the 75th milestone in the
..long journey of useful life.
The body was brought to Americus
rat noon yesterday, accompanied by
his sons, daughters and numerous
friends, and laid beside that of his
wife in Oakgrove Cemetery.
Though a native of Crawford coun
ty Mr Slappey was for fifty years a
•resident of Schley county and regard
ed It as bis home. In former years he
had large farming interests there, and
•was held in high esteem among neigh
bors and friends.
■For sixteen years lie was county
.commissioner of Schley, and perform
ed other public trusts as well.
,Hls wife, who was Miss Mary Ste
wart, of Schley, died a few years
since while the family resided in
Americus. They are survived by two
daughters, Misses Lizzie and Callle
Slappey, and three sons, Messrs. v\ ii-
Jlam, Thomas R. and C. A. Slappey.
Mr. Jarrett J. Wilson has entered
the race for sheriff of Sumter county,
with Mr. George Rodgers on the tick
et as deputy. This conclusion was
forecasted by the friends of these
wellknown gentlemen, many of w'hom
had urged their candidacy, and their
formal announcement will be a source
of pleasure to many who will give
such a popular ticket their support.
Both gentlemen are too well known
in Sumter county, where they were
born and reared, to require Introduc
tion or commendation. Mr. Wilson
very ably served his county as repre
sentative In the Legislature, modestly
declining to otter for a second term,
and now devotes his time to his fann
ing interests near Leslie. Mr. Rodg
ers was recently elected to the board
of aldermen of the city by a very flat
tering vote. He holds a responsible
position at the Seaboard shops here
and, like Mr. Wilson, will add to the
strength of the new ticket.
BILL WIMBISH IS AGAIN
IN TOILS FOR FORGERY
Americus Negro is Cauglt
by Police.
Bill Wimbush, an Americus negro
who recently completed a long term
If Ton Bead This
in the~county chaingang, is ready for
another term, this time in the State
penitentiary upon a more serious
charge, that of forgery, with which he
stands confronted.
And the proof against the bad Bill
Is strong and conclusive. i
He got the goods upon forged ord
ers upon merchants, and freely ad
mits the offense. The goods have
been recovered by the police, and are
held as damaging evidence against
him.
The case against WimbuBh
ft will bo to learn that the leading medl*
cal writers and teachers of all the several
schools of practice recommend, in too
strongest terms possiblo, each and every
ingredient entering into the composition

It Matters About
the
Nothing adds so much to
the attractiveness of a pretty
home as does pretty matting,
and the season approaches

parlor and sleeping rooms as
well should be given their

worked up by Chief Feagin, the best &
"Old Sleuth" in Georgia, Lieut. Bar-
row and Officer Johnson, who not only
caught and caged Wimbush but re
covered ever one of the articles which
he secured upon the forged orders.
These consisted of a fine suit of
clothes, pair of shoes, hats and other
articles for the Wimbush wardrobe.
The suit of clothes were secured
from the Pinkston Co. upon a forged
order from Mr. M. B. Council, while
the shoes and hat came from Cohen’s
on another forged Council order.
Wimbush also tried to work Ry-
lander Shoe Co. on a forged order
bearing the name of Mr. T. B. Hooks,
but Walter Rylander was too w’lde-
awake to be caught, and Bill fled the
scene without getting the coveted
goods.
Th> ortlers, all of which are in pos
sesion of Chief Feagin, are scrawled
with a pencil on dirty bits of paper
and the flap of an old gummy envel
op, and upon their very face indicate
a punk job. The only surprising part
of It is that anyone would be caught.
When confronted at the barracks
with the clothes and other articles
Wimbush at, first denied the story but
finally, admited that he got them.
The manner in which the case was
worked up by degrees, with nothing
to start upon but n bare suspicion, re
flects great credit upon the police de
partment. Chief Feagin never stop
ped from the moment he jumped the
game until he had it well caged.
Wimbush got out of the chaingang
on January 31st, and the next day or
two thereafter was at his old tricks
again and headed for the penitentiary.

WARNING IS GIVEN
PUBLIC OF A FAKE
Americus merchants and others are
cautioned against accepting money
orders from strangers unless assured
of the genulness of the bit of Uncle
Sdm’s paper. This warning Is due to
the fact that recently a large number
of blank orders were stolen In a
Western City, and already some of
these have turned up as bogus, the
thieves filling out the blanks and cir
culating them In payment of small
purchases made, taking the differ
ence In cash. Only be sure the mon
ey order Is all right before accepting
It.
