JOINER Is INSANE, THE
JURY HAS DECIDED
Another Term in Asylum
Ills Dose.

c. L. Joiner escapes the state pen
itentiary for a time, at least, and
goes again to the lunatic asylum
where, he spent short term prior to
coming to Americus in the dual role
of life insurance agent and horse fam
cier. Joiner was convicted of for
gerry in Sumter superior court at the
recent session and sentenced to a term
of five years in the state pen. After
his conviction, lunacy proceedings
were instituted. in an effort to save
him from the pen, but Judge z. A.
Littlejohn refused the motion for a
lunacy trial in the superior court
Yesterday his case was investigated
in the court of ordinary, the Jury
adjudging him of unsound mind and
ordering his commitment to the asy-
lum. In the meantime his case will
be appealed to the supreme court.
Should that tribunal affirm the decis-
ion of the court here Joiner will still
have to do his five years in stripes
when he is discharged from the asy-
lum as "cured," the sentence holding
good.

A TRAINLOAD OF BOOZE
HELD BY RAILROAD
Six Carloads of "LiCker
on Hand.

Ten thousand dollars worth of red
Ticker" six carloads, are awaiting de-
livery at the hands of one of the
railroads here, and it seems really
that the great thirst will come upon
us with this immense stock of booze
within our midst" but unattainable.
The liquor is consigned to a town
in the Americus territory, but for
some reason the consignees have not
taken it from the railway company
AS the town has very little police
protection the company, it is said
places the cars at the town depot
subject to unloading, but will probab-
ly haul them back to Americus at
night as the cargo is a very valuable
one, unless unloaded today. AS pro-
hibition dims the horizon seven
days in the future, and two of the
seven holidays, it is difficult to see
how such a vast quantity of "old red''
can be disposed of in a village in so
short time.

NEAL BANK IN
EXAMINERS HANDS
Atlanta Institution in Bad
Shape.

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. (Special)
Following two days investigation
of the affairs of the Neal Bank, one OF
the largest State depositor in Geor-
gia, it was decided last night to
put the affairs of the institution in
the hands of the State Bank EXami-
ner. The Clearing House Association
issued this notice:
ITO the Public:
After duly considering the char
acter of the assets and resources of
the Neal Bank and investigating its
affairs as far as possible, for the pur-
pose of extending to it such assis-
tance as it's condition would war
rant, we regret that we find the in
vestments and loans of this bank are
of such character that in our opinion,
they cannot be readily converted, and
therefore we do not feel warranted
in rendering the assistance that its
present necessities require.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-12-24
Interest of DepOsitOrs

eve believe that the interests Of
the depositors and creditors will be
best conserved by allowing the bank
to convert it's assets through the State
officials as provided by law. We
hope that by the adoption of this
course, creditors and depositors will
ultimately be paid.
According to the examination of
the bank completed by the clearing
house late today, the nominal as
cts exceed the liabilities by about
$600,000 but it was ascertained that
extensive loans on Cuban and Ala
bama properties had so far deprecia-
ted as to bring these assets down to
low figure A number of uncollec-
table notes were also discovered. The
aggregate number of depositors in
the bank which did a savings, as well
as a regular banking business, is
5000 savings depositors, alone, hav-
ing an aggregate of $723,O00. Sub
ject otherwise to check was $S96,000
while the demand and time certificates
deposits aggregate $4S,00O-a total of
$2,067 900
1t is the general belief expressed
by bankers that the depositors will
be paid in full in time. The bank
was capitalized at 100000, and was
considered one of the strongest in
Atlanta.

GIRLS SCHOOLS UP TO DATE.

September's magazines are laden with advertisements of boarding schools and colleges. and it is inter
 esting to see how prominent a part is played by those institutions for girls and young women. Moreover. it is in
 structive to study the nature of the ad- vertisements designed to influence par ents If budding daughters. In former years the staid announcement that
 Mount Minerva Seminary for Young Ladies. or some such grandoise title. was prepared to take limited number of pupils for instruction in Branch. tho fine arts. music, dancing. embroidery and general department was the usual form. In such a place the highest commendation conceivable lay in the adjective, ''lad.like." All is changed. Now it's more to the effect that Har- umscarum School for Girls has the biggest gym" broadest campus. best cinder path and most thorough athletic instructors in the United States.-New

ORCHARDS CONFESSION.

The attempts to assassinate Cover nor Peabody, the shooting of Lyte Gregory. the detective. and the Lowing up of the Independence depot. in which thirteen men were killed. were some of the events which Orchard relates with his usual sangfroid in the Sep tcmher instalmcnt oc his Confession in McCiure's. This story is undoubtedly tremendously valuable human docu- ment. and will be followed eagerly by the oartiZans of both sides. represent ing as 1t does the chief point of issue in the trial at Boise. \ supplementary article by George k. Turner takes up parts of Adams confession and his cross-eXamination relating to the chief incidents of Orchards narrative. The most interesting documents which Mir Turner presents are the letters to or cfard from Dan Gaine., an old-time c'mrade ot Orchards. Gainey was terribly maimed in the Independence explosion; after orchard made his con fession, Gainey wrote to him. express ing his forgiveness. These letters are or fully as remarkable a character as the confession itself.

WELLMAN'S FAILURE
 STORY OF IT TOLD
His Airship Driven by Contrary Wind Was Saved With Difficulty. .

Trondjhem, Norway. Sept. 13.-Wal-
 ter Wellman. head of the Wellman expedition. arrived at Tromsoe last evening on board the Frithjof from Spitzbergen on his way home. It is announced that he has definitely abandoned for this year. after his dis astrous trip in his airship. the pro-
 posed attempt to reach the north pole.
 The airship made the ascent Septem-
 Der in a strong northwesterly wind,
 which drove her southeastward over
 the land. It was necessary to cut the
 balloon adrift from the other parts of the airship, but it was recovered after
 two days search.
 The occupants of the car secured the balloon and a rescue party from the steamer which reached the gla-
 cier an hour and q half later but had considerable difficulty in saving the ,airship. The balloon portion had to be cut in two and the car taken to pieces in order to enable the rescuers
 to transport them over the ice hills and Assures to the sea. After two days work this was successfully ac- complished on the evening of Sept f. The members of the expedition got back to Danes Island. whence they
 sailed from Tromsoe on Sept. 8, Major
 Hersey returning in the fish boat Got fried.

FAREWELL, ENGLISH SPARROW.

After long arguments pro and con it has seemed to be pretty well recog- nized that the English sparrow does much more harm than good. and that il is time he was NadiCated from this country. Dr. C. Hart Merriam. of the department of agriculture. has pre- pared d consensus of reports from many sources. containing evidence for and against the sparrow. These re- ports are 16S in favor of the bird. S37 against. and i3 neutral. These reports contain also list of the native birds that have been more ar less molested by the pugnacious little sparrow. and these include the wren. bluebird. mar tin, kingbird. horned lark. hermit and wood thrushes. moclSinSbird. purple grackle. meadowlark. and many wood peckers. Steps will probably be taken to speed the unwelcome guest.

FLOWING IN 4 SHIPS HOLD.

\ common, everyday farm blow was used in unloading the cargo of the Am mon at San Francisco. The entire hold was filled with I5O0 tons of hitter. which had frozen into one solid mass and very hard. Explosives could not be used, and picks and shovels wer, too slow. As joke q bystander sug- geSted they better use blow.
 The captain. however. decided to try the plan. and bought good-sized blow, and by means of block and tackle and steam winch pulled 1t back and forth the length of the hold The blow loosened the hitter as fast as big gang could shovel 1t into the steel buckets This IS probably the only instance on record where ships cargo was dis charged in this way.-Popular Me- chaniCs.

where in some instances banks open

from 80 to so per cent when the
New York banks were straining ev-

BILE.
Banks Have Been Selfish
1t is unfortunate that so many
institutions glaringly failed in their
conception of responsibility and
duty in time of disaster; especially
as by the pursuit of such an ultra
selfish policy they aggravated rath-
er than ameliorated difficulties
which might have reacted upon
themselves or their associates. AT
any rate. the banks of New York
have passed through the crisis verv
satisfactorily. There may be some
wedding out of unsound or useless
concerns, but there has been no sig
nal disaster in this panic among the
New York banks. The trust COM
panies situation is the chief source
of perplexity now. During the next
two weeks the stringency in money
may be continued in view of the
for January interest
disbursements and settlements incl
dental the close of the year. A
good many maturities will also have
to be extended during the next few
weeks, and this may add to the firm
ness in money, but after the middle
of January the tendency should
again be towards easier conditions.
Indications of Improvement
q Funds withdrawn for crop-moving
purposes will soon begin to return
from the interior, while money with
drawn by interior banks during the
panic will also come back with con-
siderable freedom The distribution

some decreases in dividends have
'een announced and more may fol- /
ow, but these are not likely to prove
uficient to offset increased pay

new DEMURRACE
PLAN SUGGESTED
INDIANA FIRM WOULD HAVE
DEBTS AND CREDITS BE-

WITH BALANCE TO PAY

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Dec. 2O.-A
petition filed by the Indiana Bridge
company of Muncie, asking for a re.
vision of the car demurrage rules in
force in this state. came up for hear
ing today. The petitioner asks that
debit and credit system be adopt
ed and that the shipper receive cred
it of one day on each car which is
loaded or unloaded "a hours or more
before the expiration of "free time .
and that the shipper be charged with
one day for each car which stands
on the track more than 4S hours be-
fore it is loaded or unIoaded.
The plan is suggested that a bal
ance be made at the end of each
month and that the shipper should
pay to the railroad company 81 for
each day the debts exceed the cred
its. If the credits equal or exceed
the debts nothing should b charg-
ed or collected by either party.

Poke BONNETS
COMING BACK
DAME FASHION SAYS THAT
WITH THE HIPLEss GOWN THE
POKE BONNETs OF HALF A
CENTURY AGO ARE PROPER

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-Dame FASH
ion is in retrospective frame of
mind, according to London modistes.
and the hipless gown, now the mode,
is to be followed by other innova-
t1ons or retrogressfons, as the case
may be, that will be far more start
ling to milady.
Sixty years ago the poke" bonnet
was the thing. There are signs, ac-
cording to London students of femf-
nine fashions, that it is to return to
! favor. 1t is very much in disfavor
/ now. The poke bonnet is seldom
seen any more except on rare occa-
slons when it serves a useful pur-
pose as sunshade for some thrifty
and industrious housewife who is
hanging out the weeks washing.
All this is to be changed-and,
| indeed, a mission so humble was not
the initial one of the poke bonnet.
The first bonnets of this type were.
made of drawn silk or satin, and
were worn by women to the most
elaborate functions. They were
more modish 60 years ago than any
OF the smart hat shapes of the pres
ent era, and, in fact, hats were not
worn then.
Identification was difficult when
the poke bonnet reigned. The fair
face of Phyllis could be but dimly
seen at the distant end of a silk or 4
satin-lined tunnel OscuIatory
greetings or farewells, obviously.
were well nigh impossible.
In this age of fickleness, amours
and atfinities, the objections Just
named are serious, but it is said the
poke bonnet will work it's way back
into favor in spite of them. And
the change is not far distant. 1t is
said. Certain London milIiners ex-
pect the poke bonnet to make it's
second appearance in society during !
the winter.
Though it sound the death kneu !
or fetchingly- coiffures;
though 1T subject every fair wearer
to the suspicion that she has left
home with her washday bonnet in
stead of her picture hat; though II
discourage every romantic man who
otherwise might pause to WOO, there
is no doubt that once it is known
definitely to be fashions favorite
headgear it will be widely worn.
