convention city. There is not man.

not know what the colonel has ac-

his henchmen how TO deliver votes on
election day. and the sociological in

his vocation.
The colonel gave a demonstration Of
his ability as a barker in front of the
Coliseum, and it was evident to all who
heard him that the colonel's place was
on the pike at a salary Of $500 an hour
Lured by Animal Pictures.
Those who attended the Republica n
convention at Minneapolis. in which the
colonel was power, recall his i'm
promptu orations in the hotel corridors
as one Of the most delightful features of
the gathering, but nothing that the col
onel ever did is to be compared TO his

The pretty suburban residence of
Mr.. G. D. Hays, one mile beyond the
city limits, was entirely destroyed by
fire Sunday morning, together with the
larger portion of the furniture, very
little property being saved from the
blazing house.
The smokehoGse, near by, also went
up in smoke, with it's contents.
The house was we'll ablaze ere the
fact was discovered, and while the
family removed some of the furniture
the loss was very considerable.
The fire stated upon the roof, where
a spark or burning SCOT is thought to
have fallen among the dry leaves
lodged in the cutters. This is the
theory of Mr.. Hays, as blazing fire
had just been started in the fireplace
beneath.
Many articles of value, and probabl J
a small sum of money, was lost.
Driven by high wind, the flames
leaped into the cane field near by and
destroyed a quantity of sugsrcane
Several panels Of fence also went III

The train yesterday morning was
crowded to it's capacity
La fact, it was said that numbers of
Americus people could not get aboard
at all and were left standing by the
track, disconsolate.
The rush was greater than anticipa-

inadequate.
If others going to Macon on the
morning trains this week would pur-
chase tickets the afternoon before, much
confusion and delay would be avoided
The rush on the ticket Office every
morning is simply overwhelming.
The Office is open at all hours in the
afternoons, and tickets could be easily
secured then.

ticket is used and purchasers have tc

SUMTER HAS a SLIGHT FROST
Potatoes. Cane and Other Crops Are
Npped.

Jack Frost again dropped down upon
Americus yesterday morning and this
visit, coupled with that OF Sunday
morning, put several varieties of vege-
tation on the retired Ilet. Frost was
quite heavy along the railroad front
and bottom lands, while really no dam
age was done in the city even to ten
derest plants and vegetation. In other
places, however, sugarcane and pota-
toes were given severe nipplng and
put out of business, thus giving the
signal for cane grindings in Sumter.
This frost will likewise cause the re-
naming cotton boIls to open, and the
harvest will be the sooner ended. The
first frost Of the season is always hailed
with pleasure, and people generally
feel the better therefrom. A welcome,
therefore, to the frost king.

PUMPING OUT UNUSED cIsTERNs

Abandoned Reservoirs are Emptled of
Impure Water.
Fire Chief Macarthur took an engine
to the corner of Forsyth and Jackson
streets yesterday for the purpose of
pumping out the contents of 10000
gallons water from the long abandon
ed cistern there. It has been q long
number of years since the unused fire
cisterns were emptIed and cleaned,
and the finding of any kind of aquatic
beast therein would occasion no sur
prise. All of the half dozen clsterns
will thus be pumped out and refilled
when it rains-if it ever does.
