AFTER COVINGTON FOR GOVERNOR

Booze Bill.

MOULTRIE, GA, August 3-The
friends of Judge w. A. Covington,
Colquttt's representative in the Iegis-
lature are planning to put him in
the race for Governor 1t is the
opinion of the friends of Ioke Smith
that should his reform measure be-
come laws at the present session Of
the Legislature, he will enter the
race for the Senate, and in such case,
it is not at all unlikely that Colquitt
county will present the name of her
favorite son for his successor. They
believe that he will make good
race and point to the fact that his
record in the Legislature is in har-
mony with the spirit of reform now
dominant in the state.

How to Shoot a Rather.

The writer once saw an Indian kill
rattlesnake in very peculiar man
ner. The RATHER was about ten feet
from the Indian, who was resting the
rife on his knee, apparently taking aim.
Whenever he moved the weapon few
inches the snake would move around
and get exactly in line with it. Then,
to show how the thing was done, the
Indian moved about the snake in cir
Gle, and the reptile moved as if its tail
We're on a pivot, always keeping its
head and body in line with the gun.
The Indian then agreed to bandage his
eyes and shoot the snake in the mouth.
The writer bandaged the Indians eyes,
and, holding the gun by his side at
arms length, the latter pulled the trig-
ger, and the ball entered the snakes
mouth and passed the whole length Of
its body. How do you take aim?' was
the query. 1.-THE snake, he takes aim"
was the reply. We have talked with
an old hunter on this proposition, and
he claims that rattlesnake will al
ways range directly in line with a gun
or stick pointed at it.-Exchange.

PernetuaI Motion cranks-

In the days of the May6oweP the
first perpetual motion inventors took
out their patents for Engines which
being put in order will cause and main
teyne their own mocions with continu-
ance and without any borrowed force
of man, horse, wind, river or brooke"
and in the last century they have APP
piled for about 600 patents which are
based chiefly on the force of gravity,
loss of equilibrium, specific gravity of
floats and weights immersed III water
or other liquid, accession of receptacles
inflated with air or gas under water,
compression and subsequent expansion
Of gases and of the surface tension of
liquids. SO sanguinely hopeful are
these ingenious designers that in many
cases they provide brakes to stop their
machines if necessary or to prevent
any dangerous increase of speed. The
care and thought expended on the prin-
ciple and detail of many of the inven-
tons demonstrate that many men Of
mental ability cling to the idea that
perpetual motion is possible and that
they themselves are successfully solv-
ing the problem.

FUNERAL OF ". B. GRAY

Is Buried There Yesterday

AN ACCOUNT OF HIS TRAGIC DEATH
Former Americas Young Man Killed
on the SedbOaTd is Laid to
Rest in That City YeSter.

AN ACCOUNT OF HIS TRAGIC DEATH

The remains of Mr. w. B. Gray,
the young conductor killed accident
ally on the Seaboard Railway on
Friday, were not brought to Ameri-
Gus, his former home, yesterday, as
was supposed would be done. The
interment took place in Laurel Grove
Cemetery in that city instead.
The Savannah News contained yes
terday the following account of Con-
ductor Gray's tragic death:
Conductor Gray was in charge of
local freight train No. northbound,
which left Savannah early in the
morning. He was at the rear of the
train on top of car as the draw
bridge was neared.
"A low girder struck him on the
head as, apparently unconscious of
his danger he maintained an upright
position. He tumbled from the car
and was saved from falling into the
river by the bridge girders. He
was found lying partly across the
tracks.
Both of his arms and one leg
were broken while his face and head
were battered and bruised from
contact with the girder that caused
his death and as result of his
fall. He was brought in and the
body was met at the train by dele
cation from the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, of which he was a member.
AT night the remains were re-
moved to Mr.. Gray's former home,
No. 211 Jones street, west. He leaves
wife and baby girl. When she was
told of her husbands death, Mrs.
Gray was Frustrated and recovering
slightly was again Frustrated when
his body was brought home. A ply
siclan has been in almost constant
attendance upon her.
Conductor Gray's marriage was
a runaway match and his home life
was regarded as ideal.
He was highly regarded by his
fellow employees and officials of the
railroad. Many expressions of sor-
row over his death were heard.
He was a member of the Order of
Railway Conductors and both this
order and the Eagles. will be repre-
scented at his funeral. Pallbearers
will be selected from both organiza-
lions. The funeral will be held from
his home tomorrow afternoon at
4:30 o'clock and interment will be in
Laurel Grove Cemetery.
The services wer postponed in or
der that the parents of Mr. Gray,
who reside In Americas and rela-
tive of Mrs. Gray, now coming from
North Carolina may be present.

COMP ANY is SOON TO

Few Days
Mr.. DODSON TO RETURN MONDAY
From PhiIadeI phid Where He Has Been
Comforting With BOndhOIderS.--
Surety Bond to Be Filed
tuesday. .
lR. DODSON TO RETURN MONDAY

The surety bond of $4,000 guaran-
teeing full compliance with all terms
of contract with the city of Americas
will be filed Tuesday by Col. w. A.
Dodson for the Americas Light &
Railway Co., thus ending all preltmi-
naries in this big enterprise.
And the next step will be the cree
ton of larger buildings and the
laying of crossties.
For Americas is to have the cleo
trio street railway and new power
plant, and the beginning of building
operations is only a question of
time, and very short time.
Col. w. A. Dodson, one of the in
corporators of the new company and
the moving spirit in pushing the
enterprise to successful end, has
been in Philadelphia the past week
in conference with capitalists inter-
ested in the venture.
The terms of the surety bond re-
Gently submitted to and accepted by
the city council of Americas was
likewise submitted to the Philadel-
phians for their approval
This was the object of Col. bod
sons visit there.
The bond will be formally placed
with the city in day or two, Aug
ust 9Th being the date agreed upon
therefor, and then the company will
get ready to begin business.
A site for the new electric plant
has already been secured at a point
near the citys pumping station.
Commodious and modern buildings
will be erected, and electrical--mach-
inery of latest and most approved
pattern Installed.
The equipment will be the very
best that can be purchased.
The investment to be made in Am
CIRCUS by this company will exceed
two hundred thousand dollars, and
no city of like size in the South will
boast a more modern and up-to-date
electric plant than will Americas.
AS soon as charter is granted and
the company begins work upon the
brick buildings of the electric plant,
survey of route for the street rail-
way system will be made
AS yet nothing whatever has been
done in this direction and no one
knows, of course, the route of the
street railway beyond the fact that
it will go by the Third District Ag-
ricultural college and also take in the
Seaboard shops as we'll
The company's contract with
the city gives it right-of-way upon
any street or streets desired and
the route traversed will be the one
where the greatest number of people
can be served. There is no land
scheme to boom in this enterprise. 4
Americas will welcome the begin
ming of work upon an investment
which promises so much for her.
1t is certainly one of the greatest
that has ever been launched here.

DR.. WAGNON GOING TO EASTMAN
Popular Americas Druggist is Going
There.

DR.. Burt Wagnon, who for three years

more capable and painstaking man
in charge of a prescription depart
ment in the State, while his genial
disposition and pleasing manners

will be a source of genuine regret it
is a pleasure to know that he will
at least remain here until the new

The most eminent medical scien-

sion that the generally accepted lin
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
