RICHMOND
GETS SHAFT
Site Is Selected
For the Wirz
Monument
Change Will Cost Dauqh.
tiers Sl.5OO

The Wirz monument goes to Rich
mond
That was the decision of the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy at Savannah
yesterday.
1t was not learned what steps were
taken to raise the 81 500 additional re-
quired to put up the monument in the
Virginia city.
The following message was receiv-
ed by the Times-Recorder last night
Americus lost the Wirz monument.
1t goes to Richmond. Convention
closed. MRS. j. E. MATHIS"
Seeing that Americus had the great
est strength, it is supposed that the
Andersonville and Macon factions
combined to shut Americus out
The monument is in the yards of
the Clark Monumental Works. The
Daughters after some effort raised
the sum of $2,500 to pay for the mon
ument.
Mr. Clark stated last night that it
would cost perhaps 81 500 additional
to erect the monument at Richmond,
as compared with Sumter county
site. He did not know whether the
Daughters would take over the mon
ument and have Richmond architect
put it up, or would employ him to do
this work
The action of the convention takes
the monument from Georgia soil, and
places it in city where there is a
very handsome monument to Jefferson
Davis. No invitation was received
from Richmond that the monument be
placed there.
At best it will probably be some
months before the shaft can be put up.

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component

PENAL BOND
VS.. CASH
St. Railway Co.
Finds Latter
Cheaper
Work Goes Steadily On
Over the City

News of the return to the city of
President Walker of the Americus
Railway & Light Co., as published in
yesterdays Times Recorder, was
read with interest Some uncertain
ty had prevailed as to the nature of
the security which would be rendered
the City Council for the completion
of the contract which his company
has with the city. During his alb
sence Pres. Walker sent a message
to the effect that cash bond would
be rendered, but this was not clearly
understood
1t was stated at the Office of the
company yesterday that at the meet
ing of the City Council to be held
Thursday night, that the plans and
progress of the company thus far
would be detailed, and the earnest
ness of the company in going for
ward with the work made plain.
Among the evidences of this full
intention are to be mentioned the
practical completion of the power
house, Except for the concrete floor,
the arrival of two huge boilers and
large amount of electrical machin-
cry, while other machinery has been
ordered and is ON the way. Poles
for the trolley wires have arrived, and
are now being erected along the line.
AS already stated in these columns
the cost of a penalty bond of 500 per
day, was so large that Pres. Walker
found it would be much cheaper to
put up cash forfeit rather than pay
an exceedingly high rate of interest
for the bond. So if, in the light of
all that has been done the City
Council still demands a bond, the
company no doubt will ask to make
it cash forfeit rather than a penalty
bond. 1t will be with reluctance that
the company will withdraw the cash
from it's working capital for such a
purpose, but such a course would be
much more economical to them than
to pay the heavy charges on forfeit
bond, as pointed out.
President Walker returned from
Philadelphia with all arrangements
perfected for the taking over of the
gas and electric light plants, and
for the street railway proposition. No
more return engagements will be
played, and he is here to stay for the
winter.

SESSION OF COURT TO
BEGIN MONDAY IN LEE
Judge LittlejOhn tOPreSide
There.

Judge T. A. Littlejohn returned to
Americus yesterday from Buena Wis
ia, where he presided at Marion
court this week for Judge Gilbert
in cases wherein he was disqualified,
while Judge Gilbert presided at Stew
art court Lee court is next upon
the calendar of this circuit, and Judge
Littlejohn will preside there all of
next week. The docket in Lee is not
heavy one and the session may be
concluded at an earlier date than
Friday 1t is quite probable that
Judge Littlejohn will impress upon
the grand jury there, as in other
counties, the Importance of enforcing
the state laws protecting game, es-
pecially quail, and this fact will be
given emphasis when court conyenes
in Americus, as the law is being
openly mad outrageously violated in
Sumter county In fact, had the
county game warden he could make
a small fortune this fall in the fees
derived from cases reported

SUICIDE RATHER
THAN A DRUNKARD
Saved Sweetheart From
Sad Fate.

KANSAS CITY, MO, Oct. 30-Be-
lieving that his desire for liquor
would lead him to a drunkard's grave,
d. w. Devol, % years old, local secre-
tary of the Standard Paint Company,
committed suicide this morning in his
room at the Lafayette Hotel by TAX
ing carbolic acid. Before swallowing
the acid young Devol wrote three let
ters and sealed them in envelopes,
which he left on a table in the room,
with a short note asking that DR.. E.
A. Evans of Conway Springs, Kan, be
notified of what he had done. The
letters were addressed to his father,
w c. Devol, president of the Craw-
ford county Bank, Statewide, Mo-; to
his brother-in-law, DR.. e. A. Evans,
and one to Miss Pansie Campbell of
Stanton, Mo-, to whom he was en-
gagged to be married
The letter to his sweetheart covered
two pages, and, in part, was as fol-
lows:
My Darling Pansy-CThe only wo-
man | ever loved) Sweetheart, it is
sad, but true, | am now gone.
want you to remember me, darling I
know you did love me and / have al
ways tried to be just your pal. Booze
has robbed me of everything, my life,
money, home, and best of ALL of you.
It's better So though dearie, and
while this will hurt you its for the
best, for booze had a hold on me
which [ know could not be broken,
and rather than make you a drunken
husbands wife have taken this
means to stop it all / trust, darling,
that you will have a happy life with
some one and be happy, but / die
with the knowledge that you loved me
and that | loved you, and for that
reason there is too much man in me
to ask you to lead the life which you
might have to if you came up here to
me. That is my reason for not bring
ing you when l came in July. Good
by, darling, and may your life have a
happier ending than mine. Yours,
WILL
In the letter to his father young
Devol showed that he had worried
over his fathers actions since he mar
ried the second time, and believed that
he had inherited the love of liquor
from his father He said that his
father had seen fit to let the advice
of his second wife influence him to
turn down the children of the first
wife. Devols mother For that rea-
son, Devol said, he had decided to
commit suicide and thus give his fa-
ther food for a little more thought

HER HUSBAND IN JAIL
ON ACCOUNT OF MULE
While the Wife is Forced
to Beg.

A white woman, stranger here,
begged from house to house yester-
day and told pathetic story, doubt
less genuine, of distress. She claim
ed to have several little children at
home, wherever the place may be, and
this feature of her story easily brought
more dimes and quarters than other
wise might have resulted from her
opportunities When asked con-
corning her husband, she stated that
he was in jail ION account of some
trouble with mule" The exact ma
ture of the trouble" was not stated
nor was the inquiry pressed. Hun
dreds of similar stories will be told
in Americus as the fall season adj
vances, and by people who are un-
known here, but each one is given
assistance freely, whether worthy or
and the charitably disposed
people who thus contribute feel none
the poorer therefor.

HOT FIGHT IS ON
STILL WRANGLE OVER
POLITICS IN HOUSE
Roosevelt Seems to Be Bone of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES For
Next Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Feb 4.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message on capital
and labor and of corporations and
the public was again the theme of
discussion in the house today. So
great was the demand for time that
a general debate on the Indian APP
preparation bill, which is the pend
ing business, was extended tomorrow
for four hours more.
Interest in today's proceedings
conferred in a speech by John Sharp
Williams, who, while lauding the
president for some of his sentiments,
expressed the belief that others were
dangerous. His remarks on the
financial question was prompted by
lengthy discussion of that subject
ty Hill, of Connecticut, in which he
opposes the Aldrich bill. After
briefly discussing the financial ques-
ton Bonynge called attention to
what he said was absolute insincer-
ltV ana DypOcTlcy VI lHe uelHoCl avn
party as an organization in its atti-
trde toward the president.
He quoted from last democratic
campaign book passages antagonis-
tic to Roosevelt and asked If they
accorded with the present demo-
cratic commentator of the presi-
Cent. Heretofore Bonynge said the
democrats had withheld praise of
republican statesmen until they mad
crossed to the great beyond" Ollie
James, of Kentucky, asked if the
speaker meant the democrats have
to wait until Roosevelt died before
applauding his message. "If you de-
sire to pursue the course you always
nave" responded Bonynge, that
would be the proper thing to do"
Cochran remarked that the en-
dorsing of one message was distinct
from the endorsement OF the admin
islration
After agreeing to extend the de-
Sate four hours, tomorrow, the house
adjourned.
