A REDUCTION IN WAGES
HERE is NOT LIKELY
SeabOard May Not Reduce
Salaries.

1t is not likely that the Seaboard
Air Line will follow the course of
other railway systems in Georgia in
cutting wages at this time. Such
is the impression current among Sea-
board people in Americus, who would
be interested therein.
Such cut, even though absolute
ly necessary, would be deplored by
the host of employees affected.
Supt. H. B. Grimshaw returned to
Americus yesterday from Hamlet, N.
c., where, with other division super
intendents, he was in conference
with the receivers of this system.
The nature of the conference is
not known, but it is the impression
here in railway circles that the sub
Ject of wage reduction was not dis
cussed. Certain is it that no intima-
ton of such step is known in Ameri-
Gus,
Wage reductions on the Western
and Atlantic railroad the Nashville.
Chattanooga and st. Louis railroad
and the Louisville and Nashville were
reported yesterday.
In the case Of the two former roads
1t was announced as 10 per cent for
all employees making over $50 per
month. In the case Of the latter, it
was another reduction, this time af-
fecting the conductors, engineers,
firemen and brakemen.
The other salaried officials had
been reduced previously.
Previously it had been announced
by the Louisville and Nashville road
that all officials making between $3.50
and $500 month were to be reduced
by 10 per cent and those under by 8
per cent.
The Southern cut 10 per cent call
down the line" has stirred up the la
Dor organization, and added to them
these noted, herewith, will probably
cause "a concerted effort among them
to have these cuts restored and no
more ordered.
delegation will go to WASHINGTON
to confer with the officials of the
Southern system on this matter in a
few days.

NEGRO NOT WANTED IN
. HIGHLAND FOR MURDER
Again the Wrong Negro is
Caught.

officer Dorman came to Americus
yesterday from Richland with a
handcuffed negro whom he was TAX
ing to Oglethorpe. The negro, a tall
mulatto, was suspected of being the
murderer of Town Marshal Carter, OF
Richland, whose atrocious murder last
summer aroused that section to the
highest point of excitement Marshal
Carter, who was a brother-in-law of
Police Officer Ross of Americus, was
shot down in the depot at dawn one
morning last summer. Several ar
rests have since been made but the
guilty one has not yet been found
The negro here yesterday was want

Mr.. SHEPPARD IN RACE
FOR SEAT IN HOUSE
First Entry in the LegiSIa-
tive Race.

Col j. E. Sheppard announces this
morning his candidacy for one of
Sumter's seats in the House, and
that his hundreds of friends will
enthusiastically support him for this
honor goes without saying. Col.
Sheppard is one of the foremost
members of the Americus bar and
well equipped for the duties he
would assume. For some time his
friends have urged him to offer for
legislative honors, and his formal an
nouncement will be a subject of gen
eral and sincere congratulation
Should he be thus honored, no other
county would have an abler, brainier
representative than would Sumter in

FILIPINO TROOPS
WILL BE LOYAL
To u. S. in Case of Any
Trouble.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. IA
(SpeciaD Recent official reports,
some of them not yet put into print,
make it apparent that if the United
States ever has trouble with foreign
power which may undertake to over
run the Philippines, the enemy will
meet with a resistance not due en-
tirely to the force of American arms.
The Filipino constabu1ary and the
Filipino scouts, armed organizations,
one serving under the civil govern
ment and the other under the military
authority of the islands, have done
any army might be proud, and have
shown a loyalty which means that no
flag except that of the United States
can command their courage and de-
votion.
Army officers who have served in
the Philippines say that the constab-
ulary, half police, half soldier, has in
it's ranks men who will give ac-
count of themselves on any field and
against any foe, and that what is said
of the constabulary is true of the
scouts, whose work is entirely milf
tary, and who are attached to the
army for the particular service which
their name suggests.
Philippine constabulary and
scouts together form a force of near
ly 10000 officers and men. The Off
GERS in the main are Americans, but
some of the juniors bearing commits
sions in the constabulary, are Flip
mos trained for the work. In time
juniors will fill the places of higher
rank and greater responsibility.
