When ~ fancy wandcrs backward
through the vista Of the years
There are many happy moments,
There are roses mid the tears,
Mid tie old red hills and valleys
lyhece Oseochee Waiers start,
Where my chillhood's days were summei
And a song was in my heart.
How long once more to wander,
Vince my boyish feet have gone
With he cows towards the pasture
Mid the dews Of early morn;
Just to gather woodland blossoms,
Just TO climb the swaying trees,
Just to set the li.e to soaring,
Dancing, floating on The breeze.
Just to taste the icy waters
OF Me spring beneath the hill,
Where the messy rocks are lying
JUL to build The Autter mill,
just to wade along tie shadows,
Just to truant be at school,
Just to make the hick'ry whistle,
just to swim the deepest pool.
How long TO watch the arrow
AS il whistles from The bow,
How long to chase the rabbits
Where the feds are white as snow;
Just 10 be as fully happy
As the barefoot boy again,
Just TO watch the apples riped
Mid the sun ana SUMMER rain.
Just to turn the dial backward
Ju,t again 20 be a child,
Just to see the happy faces,
Just to gather berries wild,
Just to play with boyhood comrades,
Just to carry books and slate
For blue-eyed little nDtiG>n--
JUST to finger at the gate
They are gone, the years have vanished,
Bur the bell riogs out he samo,
Calling books" 70 tardy childien

But a sadness cone. around me,
Over all dreamy spell
Now it's ringing sadly, SLOWLY,
There are sorrows in the bell.
And st seems TO clamor loudly
To the scattered ones from home,
Tothe weary, broken toler
Turn away from care and come.
Rolling OH along the valleys
Mid tile hills the pleadings SWEEP,
Sobbing, signing, mid the flowers,
Where the dead are lost in sleep.
And ] wonder if my comrades

If thousand mem ries cluster
Round the swinging of the bell,

FROST IN APRIL IS
FATAL TO CROPS.
Great Damage Has Resulted
Here.
GARDENS AND ORCHARDS HURT
Killing Frost Appears IN Americus
Monday-Garden Truck is Badly
Inlured-Damage to Peach Crop not
Known but is Severe,

Americas woke up Monday morning
to find Jack Frost IN fuI posses ion Of
the situation and running riot through
vegetable gardens and orchards. 1t
was dash from the lap of spring to
the arms Of hoary winter, and the
damage here is considerable.
The full extent of the blighting touch
OF frost Is not yet known,
Agreat deal { tender vegetation, such
as beans, potatoes, sqnashee, tomatoes.
etc, was killed outright. while In other
instances the plants were killed in part,
the buds escaping.
One CT zen reports having seen
thin ice in the creek bottoms.
AS the wind blew fercely all Sunday,
aud well into the night, 1t was hoped
that frost might be averted, but by II
o'clock all was calm and quiet, and
with daylight Jack Frost was much il
evidence. And his coming will cos
this section quite pretty penny.

bud is unlnjured. Young cotton vii

solid freeze would kill cotton.
The greatest apprehension is felt fol-
the orchards about Americus,
The peach trees are we'll laden, ani
if the fruit, escapes this cold snap
fair crop is assured.
But with killing frost, such as tina
yesterday, the tender fruit will be hur
to greater or less degree. The iDjur,

mined yet awhile.
Throughout the state, as nEAmericus
greatest apprehension is felt for tn
fruit crop, and fear ofanother fcost thi

Phone 49, AMERlCUS ILLUMINATING & POWER co
TRUSTS IN GEORGIA
In Numerous Lines Organization is
Effected.

While Americas may not haye any
trusts as yet it will be interesting to
learn that IN many cities OF the state
dealers and manufacturers are organic
ing. An Atlanta dispatch gives the in
formation that in certain lines of bust.
ness there trust organization is being
effected, and others will follow.
The people interested deny that they
have entered into trusts, but admit
that their respective organizations are
being operated for their protection and
for profit in business way.
About two years ago the milkmen of
Atlanta organized what is commonly
understood to be trust, and the price
OF milk was advanced.
While denying that they had organ
IL I'D trust the dispensers of milk ad-
mitted having raised the price, giving
as an excuse that they had been losing
money under the old scale, and had to
advance for their protection.
A year later all of the ice giants of
the city were merged into one company.
One or two of the plants were hustled
off to the woods while the others con-
tinued to do business at their old
stands. The price of ice was advanced
upon the usual plea that the plants had
been losing money and that for SELF
protection merging of interests was
necessary.
Now the lumber dealers of the city
have formed compact agreement
known and accepted by the general
public as a trust, for the purpose oil
regulating prices, and according to la
test accounts the brick manufacturers
of the city have 'jined" an organiza-
ton to fix the price of bricks.
The newspapers and the old maids
alone seem out of the trust business
as nobody tries to scoop them.

HOT CHASE IS MADE
IN WILDS OF DOOLY.
Negro Shoots Down Another
Sunday.
sHERlFFs BELL AND LAKEWOOD
Chased Sill Massey and Effected AR
rest at Pistol Point-A Daring and
Dangerous Mission--Massey Shot
Down Another Negro.

Across fields and through the woods
OF Dooly county Sheriffs Bell and Gate
wood of Sumter chased negro Sun
day afternoon and, after two loads of
shot had been sent after the fugitive,
finally egected his capture, hands in
the air, at the point of a pistol.
1t was daring and dangerous expe
rIence for these brave and determined
officers, who never finch when duty
calls them to the front.
The prisoner, Bill Massey, is now in
the Sumter county jail.
Massey, who was foreman on the
Hicks plantation near Flint River, in
this county, shot and MORALLY wound
ed a wagon driver Saturday night and
then turned his gun upon another ne
gro, firing two shots at him.
Massey then did the hot foot towards
the tall timber.
Sheriff Bell was advised of the trag-
edy Sunday at noon and, with Deputy
Gatewood. Immediately set out for the
scene. Upon reaching Flint River
ferry they learned that Massey had
crossed a half hour ahead of them.
Five miles further they found him.
At sight of the officers the negro
broke across a cotton field.
Deputy Gatewood jumped from the
buggy and, with breech-loader in hand,
gave pursuit. Sheriff Bell drove rap.
idly across the field to point towards
which Massey was heading.
Two shots from Gatewood's gun only
made Massey run faster.
In the meantime the negro had drawn
his own pistol, but did not attempt tc
shoot. A half mile further on Sheriff
Bell overhauled Massey and, at the
point of the pistol, made the negro
throw down his gun and come to him
He was then quickly manacled.
| 1t was dangerous mission. with the
odds against the officers.
He was placed in the buggy and
brought to town, the officers ARRIVING
here at o'clock Sunday night Massey e
victim is probably dead and he may
answer to the charge of murder.
From statements of the fair 1t seems
that Massey ordered the wagoners to
unload lot of oats hauled from Amer
icus, at late hour Saturday night. The
two men demurred, whereupon Massey
pulled his pistol and shot one down and
also shot at the other one.
Massey had borne good reputation
and was trusty negro about the Hicks
plantation.

MUCH SICKNESS is PREVALENT
Sudden Change of Weather Injurious
TO Health.

Fear is entertained that considerable
lckness will follow here as the result
of the sudden and severe change of
weather. Americas had long since
donned the habilaments of the good
old summer time. Weeks ago the ulster
gave way to tbs thin shirtwaist, aud the
gsu2y muslin snapped jobs with the
balmora and the fianuelette that stick
eth closer than q brother. But with
yesterday all was changed. The sum
mer duds were thrown aside and the
moth balls shaken from the overcoat
aod the red sweater Fires blazed in
every homa, and Americas settled down
uncomfortably in winter quarters. Even
that honored landmark and lineal de-
scendant of Ananias, the "oldest in
habitaut," cannot recall frost and ice
here on April 18th.
