Lester Didn't Mind Gags

Jollying members of the audience is favorite stunt with chorus dancers, but the Raymond Teal pirouetters caught Tartar when they tried it on Lester Tillman at Dreamland Sunday night. He didn't so much as bat an eye, and the sympathy of the house, rearing with laughter, was all with him. Don't kick so high, said a comedian to one of the dancers as they went through one of their team steps. "That man over there likes it, she replied, and pointed straight at Lester. They might have been talking about the man in the moon, for all Lester cared or showed that he noticed. It aggravated the comedian X fellow with shot like that ought to look fusterred. The comedian crossed the stage and threw his best witticisms straight at Leester until time rang ont. Lester did not seem to think the com edian good looking and, with excellent taste, turned his attention elsewhere while laughter pesied forth from every part of the house. The next day the comedian was told tbat Lester, poor fel- low, has not heard a word in years. but that this does not prevent him from being one of the biggest.hearted and best humored boys in town, as was shown by the way he laughed wheL he was made to understand what had transpired.

Reynolds Does Tall sprinting-

After a wild flight through the streets and over the hills, Sunday night, Dan Reynolds, wanted on an old charge of aggravated assault, sworn to by his wife, was stopped only when n bullet struck him in the calf of the right leg and circled around to his knee cap. Reynolds, who is dangerous only when drinking, had alarmed his wife by fourishing pistol, and she tele- phoned to the sheriff's office for as- sistance. The man was not at home when the officers called. but, on a sec ond visit to his house, near the eeme- tery, Deputy Sheriff Russell found his horse saddled in front of the door. a Winchester rifle hanging from the sad de. Reynolds was inside, with his re- volver buckled on and his pocket full of cartridges, but the officer disarmed him without trouble and started to town with the prisoner. Reynolds walked quietly enough for a little while, then bolted, running into a saloon in Broad street. Deputy Sheriff John Meadows and Deputy Marshal Bob Edwards join ed in the chase, and Reynolds was soon recaptured, but he had not gone very far when he found an excuse to have the officer let go his collar and was of again like scared deer. More than two dozen shots were fired by the pur- suing officers, but Reynolds only ran the faster until Russell brought him to a halt with bullet in the leg.

Trial in Monologue---

Justice Hinson Thomas showed up as quite an expert in monologue yester- day, when four Indian boys were be fore him on charge of larceny. The lads had been caught stealing few silk handkerchiefs from the Ingram store, down Broad street. The justice patiently asked number of questions, of the youthful prisoners, but, to all appearances, they were deaf, dumb, blind and duh of comprehension, being unable even to remember their names, although they grinned broadly when there was a suggestion that they be "turned loose. 70 They were locked up for few days.

WANDERING HUSBAND
WELCOMED BY WIFE

New York, Dec. Residents of
East Newark learned Tuesday that
after an absence of thirty two years
Thomas J. Malloy, for quarter of a
century considered dead, had returned
to his family at $40 Third street. The
house was that of his daughter, Mrs.
Julian Jova, whom he last saw as a
baby.
Mrs. Malloy answered knock at
the front door a few days ago, and
opening the door, saw an aged and de-
crepit man standing there. She ask
ed him what he wanted.
Are you Mrs Malloy still?'
81 am" she said Then he disclos-
ed his identity and got a welcome. He
was living at Ell Poso, Tex, when he
learned by chance of his wife's adj
dress.
Mr.. and Mrs Malloy separated thir-
ty-two years ago while they were
living at Newton, N. j., where he
worked as a carpenter. Work was
scarce and he decided to go to the
West to earn a living there. He was
unable to take his wife and two chill
dren and left them He was not sue
cessful in the West. and wandered
frmo place to place. After five years
letters from him ceased to reach
his wife, the last coming from Den
yer. He failed to hear from her, and
finally she made up her mind that he
was dead. She went to work her
self, prospered and educated her
children.

PARTY OF DOZEN WILL
ATTEND THE HEARING
By Commission in Ameri-
Gus Gas Case.

Much interest, locally attaches in
the hearing of the petition of the Am
ericus Board of Trade at the hands OF
the Railroad Commission next Thurs
dav wherein a reduction in the price
of gas here is urgently requested, and
it is expected that quite party of
citizens, Board of Trade members and
others, will go to Atlanta for that pur-
pose. Able legal counsel represents
both the petitioners and the gas COM
panv. and a spirited debate before the
Commission is anticipated Expert
testimony will be introduced by the
petitioners in the showing they will
make, while comparative figures will
besubmitted showing the prices for
gas paid by other cities of equal size
and Importance Three months ago
the Board of Trade filed with the Rail-
way Commission it's petition for a re-
duction in the price of gas from the 81
per thousand rate paid here during
the past twenty years, and at the re-
quest of the gas company it was given
ninety days in which to prepare for
the hearing. Next Thursday, 10th, is
the date fixed therefor and the result
will be awaited with greatest interest
by hundreds of Americas gas con-
sumers.

COUNCIL is READY TO
APPLY FOR CONVICTS
10 Employ Them on Streets
of City.

The fact that an adequate force of
convicts is to be employed upon the
streets of Americas early in the new
year is subject of congratulation
among the many citizens here who
favor good streets as we'll as fine coun-
try roads. The matter of employing
convicts in the street department had
been favorably considered by the
council some time since, as the many
advantages wrought by such change
had been duly discussed. The board
of county commissioners is going to
apply to the State for Sumter's full
quota of misdemeanor and felony
convicts-about fifty able bodied ze-
bras-and the city council will file
its petition with the Prison Commits
sion at the same time. At the meet
ing of the city council Thursday night
the street committee was authorized
to confer with the county commits
sioners and take the necessary steps
for procuring the convicts for the
city's street force. The change will
be highly advantageous, it is thought,
as strong, able-bodied convicts can
be had at $S per month, or about one
third the price now paid less efficient
free labor.

remember Mrs. Bell for many years.
Her table was her pride and its ex-
cellence was justly celebrated. Little
regard was paid for expense, when it
came to maintaining the reputation as
being one of the best hotels in the
smaller towns in Georgia.
Beloved by all who knew her, news
of the departure of this good woman
will be received with sadness not only
in Georgia, but in adjoining states.
Her Christian character, combined
with business ability, made her a lead
er wherever she went
Mrs. Bell is survived by husband
and four children: John Mercer Bell
and Jesse D. Bell, of Dawson, Mrs.
frankie May Hatcher, of Columbus,
and Mrs. Ella Cleveland, of Weston.
