A COSTLY BREAKFAST.
Strickland VIII Work a Year in the
Chain Gang For IT,

VaId0sta. Ca. aug. IA young negro
haIlIng from Atlanta and giving his name
as Frank Strickland. had a very costly
breakfast a few miles west OF here this
morning and the chances now are that it
will be az least a year before he finishes
paying for it. While some OF the rail-
road hands OF the Plant system were on
their way 20 work they were accOsted by
Strickland with a good big revolver, and
upon their refusal TO divide their dinner
with him. he leveled his gun on them and
commanded them 20 hold up their hands.
Under the persuasive powers OF the pis-
toll they ooeyed the order and Strickland
took their buckets and sat down by the
roadside and ate up the contents He was
arrested by one Of the McRae boys and
was brought TO the city for trial on the
charge Of highway robbery. He told the
Judge OF the court that he had had "a good
breakfast and was perfectly willing 10 pay
for IT,. The Judge told him TO pay SO and
costs or spend year in the chaln-gang.
He was forced 10 select the latter and
this evening he was carried to the con-
Wet camps.
The two negroes, VIII Brown and VIII
Davis. who were arrested here yester-
day. have been identified as burglars who
entered a store at Duke last week and
robbed IL Of many articles. The firm
robbed was w W. McCully & Co, and
their bOOkkeeper was here this morning
to identify the goods. He stated that the
marks on all the packages were his. own
and that the goods were stolen from the
store where he worked. The box shipped

tain a large amount OF clothing which
was stolen at the same time. The officers
believe that the negroes are part of

Alapaha and Waresboro. 1t is believed
that white men were connected with the
burgiaries. but the two negroes in Jail

Democratic Club Formed Oppose
ton to the Removal of Railway
shops.
Americas, Ga, Aug. ia large number
Of democrats assembled in the council
chamber last night and organized the Sum
ter county democratic club. Temporary or
ganization was effected by electing DR..
w. P. Burt, chairman, and Col. w. p.
Wallis, secretary. About 100 names were
enrolled, and appropriate committees ap-
pointed. After enthusiastic speeches by
Hon. w. NJ. Hawkes. Hon. w. D. bod
son, Judge J. A. Ansley and other promi-
nent democrats. the club organized to meet
Wednesday, the 26th inst, for permanent
organization.
There is considerable discussion by the
city tax payers of the action of the city
council in sending to Columbus for an at
torney, to whom a fee of $500 was paid to
take legal steps to prevent the Georgia and
Alabama railroad management removing
the general offices and shops from Ameri-
Gus. This action was taken without any
consultation with City Attorney Blalock
Mayor Hixon and Attorney Winobish
called upon the Georgia and Alabama
board of directors, while in session in Maj
Gabbetts private car at the depot last
a contract not to move the shops away
from Americas.
1t is said to have been developed that
no action has at any time been taken
looking to a removal of the headquarters
of the road away from Americus, and
that such action could not be taken with
out a change in the charter, which desig-
mates Americas as the headquarters of
the company.
The claim is made by those who oppose
the action of the council in the matter,
that it was unwise to employ an attor-
ney at all or in fact to take any steps in
advance of any overt actions of the rail-
road authorities in the matter and that
going away from the city to get an at
torney is not only a reelection upon the
city attorney, but the whole Americus
bar. noted for many able members. and
who pay taxes on nearly 800, 600 city prop
erty.
For some time there has been a contest
between the pedestrians of the city and the
bicycle riders. The city council allows
the bicycle riders, under certain restric-
lions, to use the sidewalks. None of the
restrictions are observed and apparently
no efforts made by the city authorities to
enforce the rules. Bicycle riders daily go
''scorching' along the sidewalks most
used by pedestrians at a rapid and danger
Gus rate. The result is several accidents
have occurred. Some time ago Mrs. w. 2.
Burt was ran over, knocked down and mar
rowly escaped serious injury Yesterday.
Mrs r. A. Smith was ran over by a
young man. She was helped to her feet
by two gentlemen who had abandoned the
sidewalk to avoid a similar fate. The
bicyclist mounted his wheel and rode
away, taking no apparent notice of his
victim. Mr. A. Smith threa tens to bring
a damage suit against the city.
