FOR PLANT
WILL BE PURCHASED
Work Started in January
Sure.

Mr.. J. H. Hagerty, general mana
ger of the Americus Railway & Light
Co., left yesterday for Atlanta where
he will place orders for certain por-
tions of the equipment for the power
plant to be installed here. Orders
for machinery of this class are placed
through representatives of numerous
manufacturers in the north and east,
all of whom have Southern offices in
Atlanta Mr. Hagerty says that work
upon the great electric plant will
certainly begin with the new year, and
all arrangements to that end are
rapidly being perfected. President
Walker of the new company, is ex-
pected to arrive daily from Pittsburgh
and will remain several months in
Americus directing the construction
of the big power plant and electric
street railway. Other people, who will
look after construction work are
here already awaiting orders. 1t is
proposed to break dirt during the
first week in January and push this
splendid $250,000 enterprise rapidly
to completion.

BAPTlSTS TO HAVE BIG
TREE FOR ORPHANS
Little Ones to Receive
Their Bounty.

The Sunday school of First Bap-
tist church is going to have a beau
tiful Christmas tree one night next
week, but instead of the little pupils
here getting the prizes they will un-
selfishly give all to the little orphans
of the Hapeville and Hephizabah
Homes, less fortunate than they. The
Hapevil1e Home is the orphanage OF
the Georgia Baptist Association, while
the Hephizibah Home at Macon, in
charge of Rev. Walton Galloway, for
merly of Americus, does grand
charity in caring for abandoned little
waifs-the children of unfortunate or
dissolute parents This latter home
is non-sectarian, and among its poor
little inmates are three children sent
up from Americus, two of them res
cued from homes of iniquity, here,
All gifts of food, toys, clothing etc,
will be gratefully received by the
school superintendent, Mr.. T. F. Gate
wood, and sent to the Christmas fes-
tival, afterwards being distributed
among the little orphans and found
lings as stated above.

TICKET OF CITIZENS TO
WIN TODAY AS WELL
The Election of Aldermen
Today.

In striking contrast with the al
dermanic primary of two weeks ago
will be the election today when the
action Of that primary will be rati-
fed in the naming of Messrs. G. Nj.
Eldridge, George M. Rodgers, and
Lee Allen as aldermen.
These were the nominees of the pri-
mary, constituting the entire 'Citi-
zens Ticket" and will be formally
elected today to the city council for
the term of two years each.
They will succeed Aldermen Bolton
Sherlock and Borum, who retire after
long year, of service.
The three gentlemen thus to be
voted for today are energetic and en-
terprising business going men, and
VIII prove valuable acquisition to
the board where they will serve the
city. each carrying with him a thor
ough business experience,
While the vote cast today will be a
light one as compared with that in
the recent primary each nominee win
receive the full vote polled. Little
more than hundred names appear
upon the registration list for the
election.
The polls will be opened from 8
a. m. until four this afternoon.

CHEAPER LIVING
is IN PROSPECT
Prices of Essentials Lower
Than Last Year.

Living expenses are at last being
reduced This will be good news to
the heads of Americus families, who
have viewed with alarm" the steady
climb of the last two years in every
item of expense.
In the larger markets there is a
marked diminution in the price Of
certain commodities, while other are
stationary, and few are reported to
be likely to go higher However, Am
ericus citizens can view the last
division with equanimity for in the
lot liable to go higher is included only
wines, tobacco and jewelry. Almost
any Americus family can hedge 50
severely on these items as to ignore
their advance.
Among the commodities which are
selling in the larger marts at lower
prices than at the same time last
year are: Eggs, poultry, fruits, but
ter, Vegetables and cotton goods.
Those commodities which are sta
tionary in price as compared with
last year are meats of all kinds. fur
niture, clothing and shoes. AS Sou
thern climatic conditions permit econ
omy in all Of these lines except fur
niture, Americus people will be gen.
orally able to confine their wants to
the list of articles which are growing
cheaper.
For the modest citizen the future
of prices for living expenses is
brighter than a year ago. The fall
in price is not due to financial con-
ditions, except indirectly An at
tempted corner in eggs, butter and
dressed poultry was smashed by the
spectators being forced to let loose
on account of the stringency. Left
to natural laws the price would have
been lower anyhow.

NOT GUILTY is VERDICT
IN TRIAL OF SIMS
Interesting Case is Con
CIuded Here.

1t took the jury in the case of the
State versus Marion X. Sims, charged
with the murder, but eighteen min
utes to write the verdict of mot
guilty after they retired TO the jury
noon, following a strenuous day.
Mr. Sims was congratulated by the
large number of personal friends sit
ting beside him and, elated at his
freedom from the charge, left the
courtroom.
And thus ended one of the most
sensational cases tried in Americus in
a number of years.
Within thirty days from the fatal
altercation between Mr.. Ben Light
foot and Mr.. Sims at DeSoto, the case
had been investigated by the grand
Jury, and indictment returned, the
case tried in court and the defendant
liberated.
The verdict, as rendered, was gen
orally expected and caused no sur
prise in the courtroom.
The proceedings in the first day
of the trial have already been told,
and there was little brought forth yes
terday in the examination of wit
nesses that was new to the public.
Perhaps the most important testi-
mony was the written statement OF
DR.. Smith, of DeSoto, one of the
physicians who reached Mr. Lightfoot
a short while after he was struck
down, and to whom Mr. Lightfoot
made a statement.
This, in effect, was that Mr.. Sims
had slipped up behind him and struck
the fatal blows.
Before noon the testimony was all
in, both for the state and defense, and
the argument of counsel begun. Col.
w. T. Lane opened for the State, and
was followed in turn by Col. j. R. Will
liams and Col. L. j. Blalock for the
defendant.
The speeches of counsel were able
and interesting, covering the case
fully from their viewpoint.
Solicitor-General Hooper, for the
State, spoke in conclusion in the al
ternoon. For an hour or more he re-
viewed the case thoroughly anC
completely, sitting the testimony OF
witnesses as we'll as the unsworr
statement of the defendant.
Judge Littlejohn's charge was
clear and forceful, and held the at
tention of the crowded courtroom
throughout its delivery of nearly {
half hour. When the jury retired the
audience still waited, all expecting
an early verdict.
In Just eighteen minutes the yer.
dict was rendered, and Marion Sims
walked forth a free man.

pressing the fear that the action Of
the senate Saturday IL passing the

dents telegram to the assembly Mon
day morning, where action was to
cave been taken Monday on the two
bills and the resolution adopted by the
senate, with message recommending
and urging that the presidents request
be acceded to.
On Stanton's motion the assembly
by a viva voce vote decided to take
no action on the bills on file.
The message is as follows:
Action of legislature reported in
this mornings papers most unfortun.
ate in effect upon my efforts to secure
exclusion Of Japanese laborers by
friendly agreement and If continued

ter perhaps the most severe expert
ence Of the transatlantic liners that

broke over the ship from the forward

volumes Of water rushed in, swept
along the corridor and then poured
down the grand stairway into the

stairway leading from the main deck
down to the promenade deck was
washed away with the flood. occu-
