MURDERED RECLUSE
KEPT GAMBLING DEN
AMERICUS, Ga., May 19. —By far
(he most interesting development in
the Scarborough investigation is the
discovery that the rich recluse, who
was killed Sunday, maintained a
gambling room in the rear of his
secluded store. This room, which
was well hidden from the highway
bears every evidence of the recent
presence of gamblers. Poker chips,
cards, gambling machines, devices
f&r deadening noise such as are used
on dice tables, etc., were found there
when officers entered it in their
search of Scarborough’s premises.
It was also revealed that women of
questionable character frequently
visited his place and one of these,
described as of slender build, and
wearing a striped coat, which caused
h£r to be called “the tiger woman,"
was in the company of the murdered
man Saturday. This woman, whose
name cannot be ascertained, is de
clared to have come to Americus
from Jacksonville, in company with
two men. All of the trio have mys
teriously disappeared since the find
ing of Scarborough’s body.
Another interesting discovery is
that Scarborough had an uncle living
in Anniston, Ala. This uncle, Sid
Scarborough, was declared by Amer
icus residents to have died twenty
five years ago, but Wednesday he
communicated with George A. Turpin
and inquired concerning the circum
stances of his nephew’s assassina
tion. It is now said that Sid Scar
borough is a prominent resident of
the Alabama town, and that he will
come to Americus and assist in the
investigation here. There is an in
sistent demand that Governor Dorsey
offer a suitable reward for the ar
rest and conviction of Scarborough’s
assassin, many persons here believ
ing this would accelerate a solution
of the mystery. .
The coroner’s jury met again Wed
nesday afternoon in the office of
Sherriff Harvey, when a number of
witnesses were examined. The ses
sion began at 2 o’clock and continued
until early evening. The Sumter
county grand jury will assemble
Monday, when it will also investigate
the murder, as well as the gambling
scandal which has grown out of the
killing of Scarborough.
Giant Head of Lettuce
Is Grown in Atlanta
A head of Fulton'"county grown
iceberg lettuce, measuring 41 inches
in circumference, and weighing tWo
pounds 4 1-4 inches, was brought
mto The Journal office Thursday
morning by J. W. Dalhouse, of 42
Stokes street, who said he raised the
lettuce in his garden.
The head is one of the largest
that has ever been grown, and it
is conservatively estimated that
there is enough lettuce in the head
to serve a hundred people. Mr. Dal
house says that he has several more
growing in his garden now, and
hopes to raise an even larger
head.
Iceberg lettuce raising in Geor
gia, and especially as far north as
Fulton county, is a comparatively
new venture, as it has always been
imported from Florida or California,
it being the popular supposition that
it would not grow except in these
two states. However, a number of
farmers brought ’n a quantity of the
iceberg variety to the curb market
last Tuesday, demonstrating that It
will grow in Georgia as well as in
Florida or California.

New Steel Foundry
To Be Established
By Cordele Firm
CORDELE, Ga., May 19.—Business
interests heretofore represented in
the Tomlin-Harris Machine company
and the Williamson Sfteel Stump
Puller company are joined in the es
tablishment of a new steel foundry
for Cordele, the capital of which
Will be 5200,000 to 5250,000.
Announcement was made Monday
by R. R. Harris and J. C. William
son, heads of the two concerns, that
plans had been completed and agreed
upon whereby all the interests of
both concerns will be thrown togeth
er and their chief business will be
the manufacture of the Tomlin-Har
ris Wheel .Press and the Williamson
Steel Stump Puller. Both are com
mercial necessities of value and the
patents protect the local manufac
turers in every respect.
They expect to use raw iron out
of the Alabama fields. The invest
ment will result in one of the best
steel and iron foundaries in this sec
tion of the country, one which it was
stated Monday, will be in both capac
ity and excellent advantage superior
to anything now in Georgia.
It will take several months to
complete the construction of the
plant, but plans will be completed at
once and the move will be put un
der way. The output in wheel press
es and stump pullers annually will
be more than a million it is
said. In addition a large foundry
work in iron and steel will be done
and mil! and boiler work will con
tinue as heretofore, only on a larger
scale.

Two Killed, Several
Wounded in Gun
Fight at Byromville
BYROMVILLE, Ga., May 19.—Two
negroes are dead and one white man
is at the point of death in a Cor
dele hospital as a result of a gun
fight that began near here Tuesday
and extended into Wednesday.
Twenty negroes have, been placed
under arrest and at least twenty-five
guns of various sizes halve been
taken from negroes by the officers
of Dooly county.
At the hospital at Cordele the
wounded white man’s name was giv
en as L. C. Davis, of Summerville,
N. J. He is a former soldier pass
ing through en route to Fort Valley
to peaches, when he was depu
tized by the sheriff. His condition
is critical. He was wounded eight
times.
Os the twenty negroes placed under
arrest and taken to Vienna for safe
keeping, four are seriously wounded.
The twenty negroes barricaded
themselves in Fate Chapman’s home
on the Will Byrom farm and defied
the authorities late Tuesday night,
after Chief of Police Cunningham
had failed in an effort, to collect
city taxes from Chapman.
Sheriff Vinson, Deputy Sheriff Carl
Lewis and’ a posse especially depu
tized, moved on the barricaded house
shortly before midnight after there
had been intermittent firing. .
As the posse approached they were
fired upon, Davis falling wounded,
receiving eight rounds.
The negroes continued to hold their
fort until the posse threatened to
burn the house. Then they left their
barricade and continued to fire on
the posse. In this affray, one ne
gro, Jim Beddenfield, fell dead and
four others were wounded, the worst
wounded being Tom West.
One of the negroes, a son of Fate
Chapman, got away from the posse,
and he was traced to Lilly, Ga., where
he again put up a fight. At 8:30
Wednesday morning he was shot
dead.
Women Officials of
Thayer, Kans., Start
General Housecleaning
THAYER, Kas. —The whole world
is peeping, as it were, through the
curtained windows of Thayer's city
hall.
The curtains were bought with
the second appropriation passed by
the Second city government in the
United States composed entirely of
women. The first women’s govern
ment rules in Jackson, Wyo.-, and is
now seeking re-election.
The first appropriation in Thayer
was for hauling trash away. Thus
city government in Thayer means
municipal housekeeping.
Suffrage leaders and politicians
throughout the nation are watching
to see just how the job is done.
“We’re going to do the little
things first and do them well,” says
Mrs. Abby H. Forest, the mayor.
“We shall do our level best and,
if we are not beheaded by irate
citizens, there may be results.”
'that remark about being behead
ed is just a bit of Her Honor’s hu
mor. Only a few reactionaries voted
against the women’s ticket. It was
elected 4 to 1.
After buying the curtains and
having the trash hauled away the
women burned the bedding in the
jail, ordered grass cut and streets
cleaned, told citizens to keep then
chickens out of neighbors’ gardens,
sold city band instruments and
started to collect taxes from sources
that had been overlooked by previ
ous administrations.
The official's of the town are Mrs.
Hattie M. Brewster, police judge:
Mrs. Ivy Cross, president of council:
Mrs. Eunice Rash, Miss Allie Lam
berton, Mrs. Ina Craig and Mrs.
Daisy M. Savage, councilwomen.
Mis’s Lamberton is a telephone
operator. The others are house
wives.

BIRTHDAY OF TROLLEYS
REVIVES RECOLLECTION
OF “HAY-BURNER” DAYS
CHICAGO.—The resounding crash
of Missouri hoof fire against tin
fenders of archaic street cars was
heard today in many cities through
out the country.
For out of the rubbish heaps of
street car barns and the tall weeds
of vacant lots mule cars of a third
of a century ago have been rescued
by electric railway companies and
again put on rails for a few hours
under “hay-burner” power.
The reason for this demonstration
was that the modern overhead trolley
car is thirty-three years old and elec
tric railways for the first time in his
tory celebrated this event.
. It was in Richmond, Va., on May 4,
1888, that thirty electric cars equip
ped with overhead trolleys were put
into operation and the contract for
the first complete, double 7 tracked line
of this character in the world was
accepted as completed.
For thirty years prior to that day
inventors ranging from Thomas Dav
enport, a Brandon, Vt., blacksmith,
to most of the famous inventors of
the period, had been working toward
the goal which Frank J. Sprague, of
New York City, finally achieved.
Stephen D. Field and Thomas A.
Edison began experiments late in the
70’s and in 1879 Field filed an appli
cation for a patent on a third rail
system. In 1880 Mr. Edison built a
small road at his laboratory in Menlo
Park, N. J., and demonstrated the
practicability of electricity as power
for transportation. In 1883 at expo
sitions in Chicago anad Louisville,
Messrs. Field and Edison exhibited
an electric locomotive -which ran
around a circular track one-third of
a mile in length.
The period from 1880 to 1888 was
productive of many valuable contri
.butions to the future industry by
Edward M. Bentley and Walter H.
Knight, who in 1884 built a two-mile
line in Cleveland; John C. Henry,
who built small roads in Kansas City
and California; Prof. Sydney H.
Short, of Denver; Dr. Wellington
Adams, of St. Louis; Charles J. Van
Vepoele, of Chicago, and Leo Daft,
,of Greenfield, N. J. Daft perfected
an electric" engine which in 1886
hauled a total of 300,000 persons in
old horsecars between Baltimore and
Hampden, Va.
Some of Mr. Sprague’s earlier tests
were made in New York City, and
among those who came to witness
them was Jay Gould. Unfortunately,
one day Mr. Gould took a position
near an open safety fuse on one of
the cars, and when a fuse suddenly
blew out with a startling flash Mr.
Gould attempted to leap from the
car, and at once lost all interest in
the future of electric railway devel
opment.
At the beginning of operation of
electric cars in Richmond wages were
from 75 cents to 51.75 a day. The
average wage paid by sixty com
panies having more than 100 miles
of track each, in the United States,
today is 58 cents an hour.
Today there are more than 80,000
electrically propelled passenger cars
in the United States, which carry a
total of approximately 14,000,000,000
persons, or ten times as many as
ride on the steam railways, yearly.
The investment is approximately $5,-
000,000,000, the trackage is 44,400
miles, and 300,000 men are employed.

Delegate Must Wear
Union-Made Garments
ALBANY, Ala., May 19. —Delegates
to future meetings of the Alabama
State Federation of Labor must be
clothed in union-made garments. A
resolution to such effect was passed
at Wednesday’s session of the an
nual convention of the labor body
being held here.
The resolution amended five pre
vious regulations governing the use
of union-labeled articles.
A resolution was introduced by a
union miner delegate providing that
no member of organized labor be
permitted to retain his membership
more than two years when he failed
to support the political program of
the -crafts. The resolution was given
to the committee on resolutions.
Ex-Governor Catts
Indicted for Peonage
PENSACOLA, Fla., May 19.—Sid
ney J. Catts, former governor of

here, late Wednesday, by the federal

The indictment charges that Catts
after obtaining pardons for two ne
gro convicts, forced them to work on
one of his farms.
The former governor recently was
indicted by the Bradford county
grand jury for accepting 5700 for a
pardon for a prisoner serving a life
term for murder.

FIND DALLIS GRASS
GOOD ffIPME
BY R. P. BLEDSOE
(Argronomist, Ga. Experiment Sta
tion)
Dallis grass is probably a native
grass, and is found in all parts of
Georgia, in low moist places. It is
coming more and more in favor as
a cultivated pasture plant, especially
on wet bottom lands where Bermuda
grass will not grow. It is some
what coarse, leafy perennial, grow
ing in thick clumps with spreading
stems, unless crowded. The head
consists of from about two to ten
spreading spikes two to four inches
long. /
Dallis grass has many advantages
as a pasture grass for Georgia con
ditions. It is extremely hardy. It
will grow on lands too wet for other
grasses and when well established
will stand any ordinary drought. It
starts growth early in the spring,
before Bermuda grass, and continues
late in the fall and will stand close
pasturing throughout the summer.
It is very nutritious, and in New
South Wales, where the grass is
widely grown, it is said that a good
Dallis grass pasture will support one
dairy cow to the acre.
The principal disadvantage of
Dallis grass is said to cause a dis
country they are attacked by a biack
fungus and only a small percentage
of the seeds are good. Commercial
seed are imported from Australia,
but they rarely germinate over 50
per cent. The black fungus on the
Dallas grass is said to cause a dis
ease among cattle if eaten in quan
tity, but this trouble can be avoided
by grazing closely, and so prevent
ing formation of many seeds. An
other disadvantage of Dallis grass is
its habit of growing in clumps or
tussacks. For this reason it is often
desirable to grow Dallis grass in
mixtures. As was pointed out in
Press Bulletin No. 92 of the Georgia
experiment station, Carpet grass does
well under the same conditions as are
favorable to Dallis grass. As Carnet
is a creeping grass it makes a good
grass to seed along with Dallis grasrl
Dallis grass should be planted only
on fertile soils, supplied with abun
dance of moisture. Poor, dry soils
should be avoided. Wet bottom lands
are t best, but the plant will do well
on fertile upland clay soils. About
ten pounds of seed should be sowed
per acre when the seeds are 1 broad
cast or drilled. Some farmers plant
their seed in shallow furrows about
three feet apart and leave the seed
uncovered in the furrows. Where
this method is used only about five
pounds of seed are needed per acre.
The grass should be pastured lic.htly
for the first few years so as to allow
it to spread between the rows.
Where the grass already occurs on
the farm it can be spread by cutting
the grass in October or November,
and scattering the straw over the
land. Small fields can be started by
dividing the clumps and planting
them over the field.
Dallis grass can be planted at al
most any time of the year, but spring
seeding is favored by the majority.

Alabama Veterans
Closes Reunion
ANNISTON, Ala., May 19.—With
the staging of the annual parade this

American Bald Eagle,
Caught at Columbus,
In Grant Park Zoo
The Grand park zoo received an
additional tenant Thursday morning
in the person of a huge American
bald eagle, captured by W. H. Bowen,
in the swamp lands near Columbus,
Ga. The bird was shipped to Frank
F. Smith, city tax collector, and was
accompanied by a letter from Mr.
Bowen, which reads as follows:
“Mr. F. F. Smith,
“Atlanta, Ga.
“Dear Frank: I have often re
marked to you that Columbus, Ga.,
was a wild and woolly burg, a sur
vivor of Jesse James nad Buffalo
Bill days, and to prove my assertion
in the premises I am expressing you
on the Central of Georgia railroad
passenger train leaving at 3:40 this
afternoon, one American bald eagle
captured in the desolate swamp lands
of the Chattahoochee river, adjacent
to said Columbus. Ga.
“I understand that he is a young
eagle, as yet untrained and un
vamped and more or less in ignorance
of social obligations imposed upon
modern mankind; therefore he is
bound to be more or less gun-shy and
in all probability somewhat inhos
pitable. I would not advise you to
start anything with him and if he
starts something with you give him
gangway.
“Would thank you to present him
to Grant park as being donated by
Greenwood cemetery. If our luck
holds out we may ship you a rhin
oceros or a whangdoodle from Co
lumbus, Ga., which is, as aforesaid,
‘some burg.’
“Yours truly,
“W. H. BOWEN.”

Soldier Talks Burglar
Out of His Loot
COLUMBUS, Ga., May 19. —That
a good soldier not only knows how
to use his gun, but also his wits
when he doesn’t happen to be armed,
was proved here Wednesday by Major
S. P. Pierron, of Camp Benning, who
went home in the afternoon to find a
burglar ransacking the house.
The officer, who was unarmed
found himself facing the point qf a
pistol, and, according the report
to police headquarters, started in to
talk the burglar out of his intentions.
He was so successful in his efforts
i that the burglar took out of his pock
i ets several gold pins and some oth-
I er jewelry, and when Mrs. Herron
! suddenly entered the house, turned
and fled. Major Herron reported to
| the police that the only thinir that
a check-up showed missing was twen
ty cents that had been left in a milk
bottle on the back steps. He de
clared that he never premised the
burglar immunity and the police took
up the search.
