Dead Desperate Is Carried to Eman-
ueI County.
In the baggage car of the northbound
Central train reaching Americus at
noon yesterday was the body of
Charles Jeffcoats, white man, who
quite recently killed Deputy Sheriff
j. C. Flanders of Emanuel county,
and who in turn was killed by arrest
ing officers near Andalusia, Ala. Thurs
day evening. The details of the kill
ling of Officer Flanders is we'll remem
bered. JeffcQats, it seems, reached
the home of relative near the Ala
bama town, who informed the sheriff
of that county of the fact. Two officers
went out to arrest Jeffcoats, who put
up game fight and shot one of them,
G. W. Dunston, in the leg before he
was finally killed. Jeffcoats, was also
wanted for a crime committed in
South Carolina, and a reward of 81, DOC

to the disappointment of De Molay

TO PROHIBIT STREET BEGGING

Orders Given to Abate This Growing
Nuisance.
Americas is the Mecca for the pro-
fesslonal beggar who rides from town
to town to ply his vocation, but the
craft will sidestep Macon in future.
To such an extent has the nuisance
grown there that the city recorder will
send TO the rockplle any other "profes
sional' who is caught there. Not a
day passes in Americas but that heal
thy, strong, able-bodied frauds, arm
ed with lot of hard luck cards, work
the town and then board the train for
the next place. They come here sing
ly, in pairs and even greater numbers,
and constitute nuisance that should
be abated.

Team.

Council Kicks On the Price OF a GOOD
Team.
For some time past the city council
has been in the market to the extent
of the purchase of pair of horses for
the fire department, but is no nearer
conclusion now than at the start. A
good team will cost a good price, of
course, and it is upon the price that
the men who control are inclined to
kick. Two old steeds, one working as
dray horse here, are being consider
ed, but it is not likely that such stock
Will be purchased at the figures de-
manded, or even at any price. The
best horses obtainable are the cheap
est in the end, and the council may
finally take this view of the case.

Several months ago we laid aside
our duties a. o correspondent for

at least. But our friend Milf1n has

Speaking If the crop prospects at
present we will say that 1t is any
thing but fiattering. Poor stands Of
corn and what there is left is very
small. In many places cotton is
yet to be planted while many have
planted as often as three times and
most of the crop is yet under the
ground. So, Mr.. Editor, we have
nothing to boast of in this respect.
The Fraternal Union requests us
to extend our most grateful thanks
to the gentleman who so kindly came
out and delivered an address on the
night of the entertainment. Many
