Made by Attorneys for the
City in the Henry County
Circuit Court.
CONCLUSION is REACHED
AFTER MUCH "DICKERING'
In Addition to the Amount
Awarded Gartside, the City
to Pay the Costs---One A.
musing Incident.

Today, on motion made by the at
torneys for the city in the case of Will
liam Gartside against the City of Rich
mond. which has been on trial for two
days in the Henry county court, the
case was withdrawn from the jury and
a judgment for $3.50 awarded to Gart-
side The outcome of the case is re-
garded as a victory for the city.
Before the begjnL>hg Of the trial,
John F. Robbins and A NJ. Gardner
attorneys for the city in the case, of
fered in writing on behalf of the city
to compromise for $3.50. The prop
osition at that time was turned down.
Wednesday, T. ]. Study and Fork
ner & FOrkner, attorneys for the plain
tiff, came to the attorneys for the city
and offered to split the amount of
damages asked by Mr.. Gartside and
compromise the case for $3.50. The
city attorneys refused to consider this
proposition. Today the original terms
offered by the city were accepted by
the attorneys for the plaintiff and the
case was withdrawn from the jury.
During the two days the case has
| been on trial the prosecution introduc-
| ed nine witnesses and nearly all of
them swore that by the closing of a
part of North Fourteenth street, SO
that the Hoosier Dsill factory could
| be enlarged, Mr.. Gartside, who is pro-
prietOr of the Diamond Clamp and
| Tlask company. had been damaged to
the amount of about $4,000. On cross
examination nearly all of these wit
nesses "hedged' on their original tes-
| timony.

C. w. Merrill of the board of public
works, states that about a week before
the trial the attorneys for the plaintiff
offered to compromise for $500. The

$4,000 damages, then agreed to settle
| for $3.50. The attorneys for the
plaintiff refused to consider this offer
but later offered to compromise fol
! $4,000. The board, on the advice oi
its attorneys. stood pat on the original
compromise offer which was finally ac
cepted by the plaintiff today.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it 1ncurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F.. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consIitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

GOT HIS EGGS
READY BAKED.
Remarkable Experience Of an
Americas Citizen.
AUGUSTA Is NOT IN IT AT ALL.
They Gan Only Cook Eggs in that City
BY Breaking Them on a Sidewalk
Right Under the Suns Rays.
Americas Goes That DeCid-
eddy One Better.
AUGUSTA is NOT IN IT AT ALL.

Some people in Americas think
it was hot yesterday afternoon about
3 o'clock. There is a gentleman liv-
ing in the suburbs who know it
was.
This gentleman is a pillar in the
church and very fond of chickens,
raising his own poultry and getting
enough eggs for all domestic pur-
poses.
Yesterday morning before coming
up town to business he cleaned out
all of the nests as is his wont When
he had concluded his dinner be ga
thered in the remainder of the days
crop, some half dozen fine looking
specimens.
He noticed when he picked up the
eggs that they were hot The at
mosphere of the hen house was pref
ty high After reaching the store
room one of the eggs dropped to the
floor. 1t broke badly, but there was
no yolk and white messing up the
floor. Astonished, the man picked up
the egg and examined it. Great was
his surprise to find that it was well
baked. almost as solid as though it
were hard boiled.
Examinations of the other eggs
showed that they were in the same
condition, ready to eat without the
use of a fire.
Augusta fried egsg on it's side
walks on Tuesday, but Americas does
not have to go to that trouble.

Ground Floor VIII Be Modern

Among the decided improvements
being made in business buildings in
Americas at this time is the renova-
ton of the two-story brick structure
on Cotton avenue, the lower floor of
which has heretofore been occupied
by Mr.. George Wheatley as a carpet
warehouse and the upper floor by
Miss Bells pianoforte school.
Mr. Lee Allen bought this building
last May and determined to improve
it in keeping with the demands of
the day and progressive spirit of AM
ericus. To that end he arranged
with Mr.. Wheatley to surrender pos
session of the lower floor, and with
the closing Miss Bells school and
the surrender of downstairs put con-
tractors to work on the entire build
ing.
Both floors will be reyolutiopized in
appearance. Practically little be-
yond the walls has been little be-

ditorium of Miss Bells school has
been enlarged, a stage thirty feet
long and thirteen feet wide has been
put in, the walls and wood work
finished in white and the entire APP
pearance of the interior beautified.
When Miss Bell resumes her classes
in the fall she will have nauditor-
ium for concerts with a seating ca
pacity but little short of that of the
theatre.
On the ground floor there will be
a large store, forty by seventy feet
in size, which will also be finished off
in an attractive fashion. Large plate
glass windows will be in front. This
store will be occupied by Davis
Bros.
Both floors of the building will be
lighted by electric ceiling bulbs, as
we'll as by gas.

Rumors have been current for sew
.eral days past, and have gained wide
currency, that the Seaboard contem-
plates taking off the "Shoo-fly" train
reaching here at o'clock in the morn
ing from Helena, and going on to Col
umbus, returning from that point and
reaching Americas at 5 p. m. on the
way to Helena
Business men have been much ex-
.ercised over the reports, and it is I'M
.derstood that letters have been writ
ten to Supt. Grimshaw requesting that
nothing definite be done on this line
until the business interests of Ameri-
Gus can be heard from.
The Shorty" brings considerable
trade to Americas Bringing in pas
.sengers at an early hour fthe morn
ing, and enabling them to remain here
several hours for business purposes
and reach home in the early evening,
it has been popular train with the
public for some years. Every morn
ing number of people come to Am
ericus on this train, do their shopping,
and return on the afternoon train. If
the "Shoo-fly" is abolished there is
no train to take its place and Ameri-
Gus retail interests will suffer as a
result.
There is little interesting his
tory connected with the "Shoo-fy'
train. 1t was started when Cecil
Gabbett was superintendent of the
old Georgia ndAlabama road, and
was a concession to the business in
terests of Americas.

How 1t Was Secured.

Supt Gabbett, it is stated, was OPP
posed to the putting on of the train
on the ground that the travel would
not justify it and that it would not
pay. AS an offset to this, though, the
business men of Americas quite gem
orally signed a petition for the train,
in which they declared their willing
ness and intention to divert all posi-
BILE of their freight business to the
G. & A., and to turn over to it not
less than two thirds of all freights
that could possibly be routed that
way, provided the desired train was
put on.
Because of this the railway con-
scented and the "Shoo-ay' was estab-
lished
For some time the merchants relig-
iously adhered to their compact, and
even to this day some of them are

said to keep it steadfastly in mind.
However, observance of it has doubt
less grown quite lax in more recent
years.
AT the same time, though, general
conditions have improved. The coun-
try between here and Helena has fill
ed up with towns and people, the
travel has greatly increased, and
whereas at the time of the putting on
of the train there was country Just
developing to draw from there is now
territory quite largely populated,
whose people are growing not only
more numerous but more prosperous
with every year.
1t is not known what the earnings of
the train now are, but it is generally
felt that it must be self-supporting, at
least. There is always a good trav-
ell in the stretch between Helena and
Americas, although it may be light
between here and Columbus.
Business Men AasgEfG.
1t is quite probable that the bust
ness men, individually, ana collect
lively through tn eBoard Of Trade,
will take the matter up with Supt.
Grimshaw.
Several yesterday stated that if they
had been derelict in keeping up their
agreement as to giving the Seaboard
the promised advantage in handling
their freights they were prepared to
reform their ways. Others who have
gone into business since the COM
pact was entered into, and who are
not accordingly parties to it, but
who are also anxious that the "Shoo-
fly" be kept on, are also expressing
an ardent desire to work in SYM
pathy with the Seaboard if its man
agement will uphold the business in
terests of Americas in this and other
matters.
1t is quite probably that arrange
ments will be made for conference
with Supt. Grimshaw, who will soon
have his headquarters here.
The Shortly is too valuable a
business asset for Americas mer-
chants to sit idly by and let it be
taken off. There must be the most
strenuous sort of a fight to keep
it on. 1t is generally felt that the
Seaboard administration has the best
of feelings toward Americas and that
on proper showing an understand
ing can be reached by which the
train will keep on.
