REQUEST AN IMMEDIATE TRIAL
Negroes Want Adams Case Disposed
of Quickly.

Monroe Adams, the murderer of his
own wife and daughter, will have an
immediate trial if the wishes of the
colored people of Americas are con-
sidered. Yesterday petition to this
effect and addressed to Judge z, A,
Littlejohn was being circulated for
signatures, and the total number thus
secured will probably run into the
hundreds. The petition recites the
fact of the double homicide and also
requests Judge Littlejohn to con-
vene special term of Superior court
to try the case. What the result will
be is not known of course, but as the
fall circuit opensa month hence, and
as a special term of the court would
prove costly, Judge Littleiohn may
defer the trial until the regular term in
December. A special term now would
necessitate the converting of a special
grand Jury and large number of trav-
ers Jurors, to say nothing OF other at
tendant expenses.

FOUND LOCATION IN AMER1CUs.
Fibre Factory to Be Brought From
Eastern State.

The Times Recorder was shown yes
terday clipping from New York pa
per, wherein it was announced that
"the Federal Fibre Company, now To-
Gated in New Jersey city would be
removed to Americas, Ga. where the
lands are peculiarly adapted to hemp
culture" The name "Americus" APP
pears several times in the clipping so
there could be no mistake upon the
part of the author of the interesting
article. Already business houses here
are receiving letters from dealers in
hemp making inquiry about the pros
posed enterprise. While no one in
Americus seems to know anything
about it the hope is expressed that the
report may be true, as the capital stock
Of the Federal Fibre Go. is 100000.

PAUL MELTON DIED YESTERDAY
Well Known Young Man of Dawson
Dies Here.

Paul Melton, one of the best known
and most popular young men of Daw-
son, died at the Allen House here at
6:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon after
a brief illness, and rarely has a sadder
death ever been witnessed here, Young
Melton came to Americas Thursday
with the Dawson ball club, Of which
he was member. After the game
that morning the young man, while
still very warm from exercise, drank
too freely of ice water, or otherwise
cooled off too suddenly. In few
minutes congestion resulted and he
was carried to his room at the hotel
There the best medical skill and tend
crest attention was given the sufferer,
but he grew rapidly worse. His moth
er arrived at noon yesterday and was
with him for four hours before he
passed away. Many kind friends rem
dered every assistance, and the tears
of the heart broken mother over her
idol were not the onlyones shed. Paul
Melton was scarcely twenty years of
age and a manly youth beloved by
everyone. The body will be carried to
Dawson this morning.
