TO PAY GOPHER DEBT
President of "U" Glass of 1905 Has
Plan.

Final efforts to pay off the now
famous debt Of the 1905 Gopher board
of the University of Minnesota are be-
ing made by Harry Mitchell, who was
president of the class in it's senior year,
and it is more than probable that he
will meet with success, and the long
standing score be wiped out.
A year ago Byron & Willard, printers
of the Gopher, brought suit against sew
eral mem ers Of the class for bill of
$1,000. AS no attention was paid by
the members Of the class to the sum-
mons to show why Judgment should not
be rendered in favor Of the printers.
the court found for the plaintiffs, who
are now in position to ask for judg-
ment at any time.
This would leave those who have
been sued liable for the entire debt,
with no recourse but to bring suit
against their classmates. It is more
probable, however, that compromise
will be made and the debt paid by
means of assessments levied on the
whole class.

THEIR MARRIAGE IS ANNOUNCED
Miss 5aglsy and DR.. Benson We'd
Wednesday,

Americus friends have received cards
announcing the marriage on Wednes-
day evening last, 10Th, of Miss Sallie
May Bagley and DR.. Marion T. Benson
at the residence of the BRIDES father,
Mr.. Henry Clay Bagley, on Piedmont
avenue, Atlantis. The occasion was
one of impressive simplicity, Owing
to the recent death of the brides
mother, the plan of the wedding, while
artistic and beautiful, was unostenta-
tious- and the gathering of guests was
limited to intimate friends. The only
attendants were the brides sister,
Miss Helen Bagley, and the bride
groom's brother, DR.. Charles Benson.
Four pretty children, as ribbon
beares,r preceded the bridal party to
the drawing room, where the bride
groom and his best man waited, Miss
Helen Bagley preceded the bride, who
was escorted by her father, and the
ceremony was performed by DR.. w.
W. Landrum, assisted by DIR. John E.
White. The bride, who,ls pretty blonde
OF winning personality, wae lovely
in her wedding toilet, the gown being
of white radium satin and point lace.
Her veil was adjusted with valley lilies
aud the same flowers with bride roses
formed her bouquet. The maid of
honor wore gown of white crepe de
chine and carried white roses. The
decorations in the drawing room, par
Tor and reception hall were artistic
and beautiful, an orchestra concealed
behind a screen of palms discoursrng
music during the evening. At $50
o'clock DR.. and Mrs. Benson left for
the east and on their return they will
be at home with MIR. Bagley until the
completion of their own home in No
Yember.

MIsrRIAL IN THE DAMAGE CASE
Against City on Account of Failing
Shed,

After remaining out more than TWEEN,
ty-four hours the jury in the case of
Terry versus the city failed to find
q verdict and at 8 o'clock last night
Judge Crisp declared a mistrial and
dismissed the jury, which had stood
to and with no chance of an agree
ment. The case grew out of the
collape of a shed over the side
walk on Lee street, north,
wherein several negroes standing be
low were struck by the debris and
more or less hurt, Witnesses for the
city testified that only the day before
a carpenter had carefully repaired the
shed, and that it was then in a safe
condition. Ii is supposed by the de-
fendant that the unusually large num-
Der of negroes assem- led there at the
time bore against the supports and
caused the shed to fall. There are still
two other cases pending but these will
not be tried at this term of court.

STRUCK sNAo IN THE ADVANCE
Staple Worth But 9 Gents But De-
mand Good.

While considerable cotton was
brought to AmerIcus yesterday local
receipts continue very light for the
season, and the disquieting statement
is made that the $500 bales already re-
ceived here will represent very large
percentage of the entire crop. In other
words, the crop is going to be shorter
than estimated even month ago, But
the short crop here does not strengthen
prices, which again eased off yester-
day. Nine cents was the full figure
paid at local warehouses, and at that
price there is great demand from the
buyers. Receipts today are expected
to be large, although rains during the
week interfered greatly with picking

BUGS BORING INTO THE BLOOMS
Remainder of the Cotton Crop Seems
Doomed

The ruin wrought by the cotton boil
bug, or worms here has already assun :
ed alarming proportions and threstens
the destruction of one fourth, or half,
the cotton crop of this section of the
state. Not only are the grown bolls
affected, but the blooms as we'll. Mr..
J. M. Rodgers brought to Americus
yesterday handful of cotton blooms
which the tiny worms had attacked.
They bored through the base of the
bloom, of course destroying it, and
were found upon the inside petals.
These insects are found on nearly every
farm in Sumter county and are Just as
destructive as the Texas boil weeviI.
Their attack upon the crop will cost
this county the loss of hundreds of
bales this season.

cIrYs BRIDGE NOT DISCUSSED
Council Has Not Decided Matter of
Material.

The city council has just completed
and paid for new and very substantial
wooden bridge, the first of the three
spanning Muckalee and Town creek on
the long turnpike. This new bridge
cost the city only 5000, and is a struc-
ture that will last many years. The
city is going to build another bridge
shortly, within hundred yards of the
one just completed, and the matter of
material to be is used now being deba-
ted by council. Some of the members
want to build an iron bridge costing
several thousand dollars, while others
favor a wooden structure at the cost of
a few hundred only, Is would seem that
a wooden bridge will answer every
purpose and last many years, as has
the old bridge to be replaced, and the
difference of probably $4,000 in the
cost may induce the council to build
the new bridge of like kind.
