Negro Killed fey Train
On Central M Monday:
In almost an instant Richard Pitt
man, a negro train hand on the Central
of Georgia road, had his life crushed
out by a train while switching Monday
shortly after 10 o'clock. It seems that
he was walking across the track, ap
parently oblivious of the oncoming ca*s
and he was knocked down, falling across
the rails and his body was literally cut
in two pieces.
The man did not utter a g-oan and |
death was instantcous. He had been j
in the employe of the road for some-1
time and was considered a good hand by |
those under whom he wo: kod.

Farmers Out ol Debt And Unparalleled
Era of Prosperity Ahead Fur This
Seellon cl Georgia.
The bank deposits in Milledgeville
hav*; passed the $300,000 mark and
indications are that this amount will be
greatly augmented during the next
two or three weeks. The high price of
cotton and the rapid movement is en
abling farmers to discharge all their
obligations in a hurry and according to
statements from bankers nml ware
houses virtually all debts will be paid
here within the next week.
This state of affair is very gratifying
and means that great prosperity will
reign in this section during the next
year and indefinitely thereafter if farm
ers will follow a conservative course in
farming and raise things needed at
home. It is a source of pleasure to
know that Georgia ranks first in net
revenue from crops in the south this
year.
