AMERICAS SHOULD
WELCOME VISITORS

Next week Governor Davidson and
a distinguished party Of Wisconsin
visitors will come to Andersonville to
dedicate the Wisconsin State monu-
ment in the National Cemetery there.
Andersonville is in our county, and
only ten or dozen miles from Amer
icus, and the Wisconsin party would
doubtless come here as we'll to spend
the afternoon and night if an invita-
ton is extended. The visit of the
Pennsylvania party here with Gov
ernor Pennypacker last year is still
La antly re-. '.nn-.rl ~ Amrf'cDs
people, who would be glad to well
come Gov. Davidson and party as
well, should they accept an invita-
ton to come here.

TAPPED THE TILL AND
SWIPED THE COIN.
Bold Robbery at DepO.
Here.
Ticket Office is Raided After Mid.
night and Contents of Cash
Drawer Taken.

Shortly before daylight yesterday
morning, during the temporary abb
sence of the night telegraph operator
from his office at the Central Rail-
way passenger depot, here, the office
was entered and the contents of the
cash drawer carried away.
The theft was a bold one and the
second of the kind committed in
Americas within a week.
In the robbery of the Central Rail
way office yesterday about $40 in
money was taken from the cash
drawer, which was opened by work
ing the combination and without max
ing a noise.
The night operator was absent from
the ticket Office but short while, but
long enough to allow the thief, who
ever he may be, to swipe the larger
part of the cash contents, although
several dollars in dimes and nickels
were left behind.
And this fact adds mystery to the
case. Why did the thief not take
these coins as well?
All the money stolen was in bills,
silver dollars, halves and quarters.
The other coins were in plain view,
but we're not molested This fact
relieves Mr. Cuffey of suspicion.
For any negro operating thusly
would never have left handful Of
dimes and nickels behind.
Only the day before the office safe
had been taken out and sent to Ma
con for repairs, hence the presence
of so large a sum of money in the
drawer, the proceeds of ticket sales
for the night trains. Somebody might
have missed the Office safe.
About three years ago the safe drawer
of the office was mysteriously robbed,
but Chief of Police W. II. Feagin got
the robber all right enough. And he
will catch this fellow, too.

AMERICAS WANTS
WILEY WILLIAMS

When the next election for State
prison commissioner takes place the
voters of Americas, practically to a
man, will line up for Chief Wiley
Williams of Columbus for place on
the commission. Mr. William is fully
capable and thoroughly qualified for
the duties of the position, his long
term of service as police chief afford
ing him abundant opportunity to
study the criminal class with which,
as prison commissioner, he would
come directly in contact in passing
upon crime in all its phases. He is
a south Georgian and genial gem
tleman who would reflect highest
credit upon the Office to which he as
pires.

COMING TO AMERICAS
AND TO RESIDE

Messrs. Walker and Buchanan, Of

be "at home" here. Some time ago
these gentlemen, looking for an in
vestment in Sumter county farm
lands, bought of Mr.. G. G. Hawkins
his farm of 500 or 900 acres three
miles from Americas on the Friend
ship road. Messrs. Walker and Blu
chanan propose improving the place
greatly and will make a model farm
of it ere long.

The Daughters of the Confederacy

Owing to inclement weather, the
election of officers was postponed un-
til another time.
Mrs. Ed. Mathis and Mrs. H. B.
Mashburn were elected delegates to

matters are being discussed with the
town authorities at Andersonville in
regard to it.

ULSTERS AND FIRES

The wall for the discarded straw

quite Unexpectedly. Rain in the ear

anything than symmetrical, and by
noon the fires of fall had been light

packed-away overcoat. Straw hats,
much worn, are worn much still, and
