INDIANA DELEGATION
MAY VISIT CITY
Board of Trade Will Enter.
tain Party

On Thanksgiving Day the Indiana
monument will be dedicated at An
dersonville. The Board of Trade last
night took steps to have the delegates
stop over in Americus, or at least
have a member of the Indianians to
come over for a few hours.
A letter was read from one of the
officials of the association, stating
that about 200 members would be in
the party, and asking what arrange
ments could be made to bring the
party back to Americus in the after
noon after the dedication. Also the
cost of hotel Accommodations.
The idea of having the visitors come
here met with hearty approval The
secretary was instructed to write the
association that train would be pro-
vided. The transportation committee
was instructed to confer with the
Central officials at once.
Prof. j. E. Mathis moved that an
invitation be extended to the party
to come on to Americus first, and that
carriages, automobiles and buggies
be employed to give them a sight of
the city. This was adopted.

Mr.. A. H. Hayward, Jr., as receiver
for the United States court, is making
rapid progress in getting the Wheat
ley stock of goods invoiced, and 9TH
erwise shaping up affairs. In this
task he has the hearty assistance of
Mr.. George D. Wheatley, who has
rendered invaluable aid and to such
extent as to receive merited praise
from the court officer, Mr. Wheatley
has readily turned over to him every
particle of property, even including
his personal effects, and calmly
awaits the disposition of his affairs by
the court to which it was unduly pre-
cipitated. he states. Mr. Wheatley as
serts but for the hasty action of rep
resentatives OF few of his smallest
creditors he might have adjusted his
affairs in manner entirely satisfac-
tory. AS yet his future course is un-
determined but it is possible that he
may eventually re-enter business here
an end generally wished by his hun
dreds of friends not only here but
those in the mercantile world with
whom he had dealt for score Of

WHITE Is JAILED UPON
A CHARGE OF MURDER
Slayer of Henry MeanIy Is
Captured.

Felix White, an Americus negro,
was jailed here yesterday morning
upon the charge of murder, the kill
ing of Henry Meanly at a country
church here on September 5th. White
was captured over in Webster coun-
ty, where he has been rusticating
since his artistic and successful gun
work on the fateful Sunday when
he perforated Meanly as the preach
er dwelt in his sermon upon brother
ly love. White and Meanly happen
ed to sit alongside at the negro
church out on the Hall place, and as
the sermon progressed White decid-
ed to add a little snap and ginger to
the prosaic proceedings by firing a
salute, with Meanly as the most CON
venient target. Meanly's funeral fol-
lowed, and now Dhite's trial for mur-
der is next upon the program

AUTOS USED AS HACKS
MAY RESULT IN TIME
AmeriCuS to Start InnOva-
tiOn Soon.

In Americus the swift automobiles
may soon supplant "the rickety one
horse shay" the hack-as it is rapid
ly doing in other cities where quick
and cheaper transportation is the des-
ideratum. Americus has a superfluity
of hacks, and likewise leads all of
the smaller cities in the number of
automobiles employed AS the ben
zine buggies cheaper, or go into the
discard by hard usage, they may
supplant the hack of the black jehu
as means of transportation here,
especially between the depots and ho-
tel The regular hackmen view
with alarm" the advent of the auto
mobiles. They fear that their occu-
patton is gone, especially those with
the measleys. Those who own the
clean nice vehicles believe they will
always be mere or less in demand.

THIRD ROAD
INTO CITY
Board of Trade
Is After the
A. B. & A.
10 Ascertain Inducements
Required

Determined efforts will be made to
induce the A. B. & A. railroad to build
line to Americus, this decision be-
ing reached at an enthusiastic meet
ing of the Board of Trade held last
night.
The matter was brought before
that body by President Allen, who
told of the efforts two years ago to
get a road from Americus to Haw-
kinsville. The only missing link al
that time was the lack of interest
manifested by Americus, other sec
tions taking even more than their
share of the bonds. Later on some
correspondence was had with the A
B. & A. road, but on account of the
fact that the road was bending every
effort to complete it's lines to Atlanta
and Birmingham, nothing was done
Col Shipp spoke in favor of taking
up the matter again. 1t was thought
a cash bonus would be as attractive
as larger stock subscription
Col. w. A. Dodson stated that he
knew the President of the road, Mr.
H. M. Atkinson, and also Mr.. Ark
wright, another moving spirit in the
building of the road. Their enterprise
he thought would make them meet the
people of Americus half way.
On motion of Col Dodson President
Allen and Secretary Crockett we're in
strueted to take up the matter with
the A. B. & A. officials at once and
see what inducement would be need
ed to have branch built to Ameri-
Gus, either from Vienna or Byrom-
vile.

BUILDING OF BRICK

COmmOdiOuS One on Jack
son Planned.

Work is to be started Immediately
upon the large brick building on
Jackson street, designed as a garage
for automobiles. Mr. John Sheffield,
who proposes engaging extensively
in the sale of automobiles, is having
the building erected for the purpose
stated. 1t will be of brick, two stor-
les, and equipped with all modern
appliances for the exhibition, sale
and repair of automobiles. The new
building, designed to cost several
thousand dollars, will occupy the
vacant lot Immediately north of the
shefieldHuntington Co.'S store and
fronting about thirty feet on Jack
son street. Building material is
being delivered there and work is to
be commenced without delay.

WORK OF DIPLOMAT
Is THAT OF MANAGER
AmeriCuS Is Reflected At
Majestic

Only the keen observer can see in
the finishing touches upon the arc
ade Of the new Majestic theatre the
master hand of the trained diplo-
mat-a single act that should, and
will, bring to Manager Viquesney the
expressed appreciation of Americus
femininity. When all was completed,
even to the snug little ticket win
dow, the master mind of the mana
ger was given full play in the coup
that followed. He placed a big mir
ror right where every woman enter
ing the place could see it and, more
over, see herself reflected there. In
ages agone this was never before
done in Americus. Here churches,
schools, Libraries, Y. NJ C. A build
ings and other public institutions
have arisen, but no looking glass
was in the rising The accomplish
ments of Morse, of Edison and other
master minds pale in insignificance
beside that of the modern Viquesney
and his mirror. Imagine if one can,
the soulful, restful, absolute and
overwhelming satisfaction of the Am
ericus dame and damsel as she en-
ters the Majestic theatre, after a
dive into that mirror, knowing that
her rats are snugly in place and her
hat on straight. To the woods with
the monument to heroes of a forgot
ten past, and instead build tower
ing shaft to the man who brings
tranquility, peace and joy absolutely
to womankind-the hero of the Ma
jestic mirror.

SHOOTING ON RIVER Is
RARE SPORT ENJOYED
SpOrtSmen Here Are Kill
ing Ducks.

Americus sportsmen are enjoying
duck shooting on Flint river at this
season, and the big bags Of ducks
brought in evidences their skill with
the pump gun. Charles Burke and
Willis Hawkins went out yesterday
and brought in twenty-one ducks,
while Oscar Loving on a recent hunt
killed forty-three ducks in like man
ner. So plentiful are the big birds
that he shot down four fine ones of
a flock that arose from the water in
front of his boat. The sportsmen Sc
cure batteau and float down the
river fifteen or eighteen miles and
kill the ducks as they rise in front of
their warship.

COUNTER PROPOSAL
TO SHOVEL FACTORY

A proposition was submitted to the
Board of Trade last night by Norris
& Marshall, manufacturers of a spec
ial kind of shovel, looking towards
bringing their factory to Americus. 1t
was proposed that if the city would
donate $500 that this sum would be
used to float stock, and if this flota-
ton were successful, then the factory
was to be brought here.
This was not considered advantag-
eous to the city, as there was no as
surance that the factory would come
here. Col. Shipp moved that the sec
retary be instructed to write the firm
and offer site or money to induce
them to move their plant here. This
was adopted
