BOWDEN IS STILL
ALIVE AND WELL.
Supposed Drowned Man Reappears
In Columbus.
CASE EXCITED GREAT INTEREST
Supposed to Have Been Drowned at
aTYbee His Whereabouts Remained
Unknown For Some Time Carried
Heavy Life Insurance.

Many people IN Americas, and es-
pecially insurance men, will recall the
mysterious disappearance of w. o.,
Bowden, a prominent citizen of Co
lumbus, last summer, while spending
some time at Tybee, the supposition
being that he had been drowned there.
The case excited great interest all
over the country, principally from the
tact that Bowden carried life insur-
ance amounting to $4,000.
After being mourned by some as dead
for three or four months, Mr.. Bowden
turns up in Columbus alive and well.
His appearance there two nights ago
created great surprise, though as his
body had never been found some did
not believe him dead.
Last August Mr.. Bowden went to
Tybee with relatives, presumably on
an outing. He was reported by his
relatives and friends to have gone in
bathing at TYbee one night. He did
not return from the beach, so far as was
known, and was reported drowned.
| Mr., Bowden carried between $40, DOC
and $50, 900 insurance. The companies
refused to make payment until they
investigated the case. The represen-
tative of one of the companies went to
Ty bee to investigate. None OF the In
surance companies have paid
A long search was made for his body,
which was personally conducted by
his brother, Newell K, Bowden, well
known young business man OF Column
bus, It could not be found.
Mr.. Bowden now says that on &C.
count of family unpleasantness ne
went from Savannah to Rich
mond. There he was taken very il
and has but recently recovered, No
until he came back to Georgia day Of
two ago did he know he had beer
mourned as dead.
But for his unexpected return hi
relatives, no doubt, might still have
believed that he was drowned in thu
surf at Tybee,

STILL DISCUSSING
RECENT ELECTION.
victors and vanquished Talked OF
the Battle.
ALL GLAD THAT IT IS OVER
There Are No Scars to Heal, Nc
Crow to Eat, and a United People
Will Push Forward Material Inter
ests of Americas

1t was "the day after the battle" and
everybody in Americas discussed at
length yesterday the scenes and incl
dents of the election of the day preyi-
GUS and forecasted the result from
every standpoint imaginable.
And the concensus of opinion is that
the ticket elected is good one; every
body seemed satisfied and there was
no sulking in tents.
Naturally the successful candidates
felt pretty good, but even the other
fellows came forth with a smile and
cheerfully explained the secret of their
unexpected defeat.
Every man, both elected and reject
ed, was at his place of business as
clipper as though nothing had hap
pened. There were no scars, no
wounds to heal, and all will unite in
making 1901 banner year in the ma
terial prosperity and general upbuild-
ing of Americas.
1t will be year in which all ele-
ments will pull together.
There will be no issues, and a unit
ed and determined people will put
forth their best efforts in behalf OF
their town. Energy and enterprise
will develop, and Americus will gel
her full share of what's going in this
new era of "unexampled prosperity.
This year has been prosperous one
for Americus. Why should not the
next one be made so?
Americus must be made to go for
ward as she has not done since the
'boom days" of decade ago. Hel
people are prosperous and enterpris
ing. Let them come together anc
discuss plans that will result IN ma
terial benefit to both the city ant
section.

} until we are tired. Now let's talk fac
tory, talk up enterprises and, above
all, talk up Americas,

LITTLE TIN SIGN STILL SWINGS
And Will Continue to Do Duty at
Same Stand.

More than ten years ago, when Capt.
John B. Fielder was mayor of Ameri-
Gus, modest little tin sign bearing
the legend Mayors Office" was plac-
ed over the door of his business office
on Jackson street. This was before our
handsome city hall was erected and
Mayor Fielder transacted much of the
city's business at his own office.
When Mr.. Fielder retired from the
Office of chief executive the little tin
sign, now faded, was allowed to re-
main, altogether forgotten. Someone
espied it yesterday and called Capt.
Folders attention thereto, and the
poor little sign of other days will be
given a new coat of paint and again
permitted to do duty at the same old
stand.

NELL ESTIMATE WAS MUzzLED
As Market Showed No Great Gain as
Expected.

That rumored estimate" by Prophet
NellI. advertised as ready to be sprung
upon the public yesterday, did not
materiaIize; or if it did the market
showed no indication of it. Contract
cotton was two or three points higher
than opening figures at the close yes
terday, but there was nothing sudden
or spontaneous in the advance. Amer
icus cotton men, however, confidently
predict sharp gain in the price very
soon and would not be surprised If il
went to 1O4 cents before Christmas.
Very little cotton comes in from the
country now, and from local stand
point the season will soon be ended.
