ROSA DAVIS is
GIVEN VERDICT
OLD BASEBALL ASSOCIATION
CONFESSED JUDGMENT
FOR 81.
WAS STRUCK BY BALL
L. A. Meeker, co-defendant With
Ball Association Exonerated
rom Blame by Court.

Mrs. Rosa Davis of Hancock street,
was given a verdict against the old
Ottumwa baseball association yester-
day afternoon of 81. The Judgment
was confessed by Attorney 10 Jaques
Meeker, owner of the ground Of the
old west end ball park had been exon
Grated by the court from any blame in
the matter.
The suit was commenced more than
year ago by Rosa Davis because of
alleged injuries received on account
of a foul ball which struck the fair
spectator in the eye.
Much Argument.
Most of the day yesterday was talk
EN- up with arguments of attorneys.
Attorney J. j. Smith attempted, after
some of the evidence Of the plaintiff
had been heard to have the case TAX.
en- from the jury as far as his client.
Mr.. Meeller, was concerned. This was
opposed by Coen G. Lowenberg, coun.
sci for Mrs. Davis.
After considerable argument, dur.
ing which the jury was not present,
Judge Roberts ruled In favor of de-
fendant Meeker Upon this ruling be-
ing made, Judgment against the ball
association, which is now myth
was acknowledged, the case concluded
and the jury excused from the case.
The confessed Judgment will have
the effect Of throwing the cost on the
ball association instead of the plain
tiff. BY whom the costs are to be paid
is mystery. 1t was thought that the
old ball association had been incorpo
rated, but such was not the case

CHIEF MADE AFLANK
ATTACK AT THE MILL
Charged The Fishes With
Loaded Bait.

Police Chief Feagin, who has the
rep of getting whatever he goes af-
ter, whether it be an office or a
burglar, went forth a new role yes
terday and equipped with entirely
new armament The chief had read
an advertisement of a new brand of
fish bait, made b. a Maine Yankee
and so alluring that fish fight to get
a hook holding it. In fact, this bait
is guaranteed to create a stampede
any mill pond, and the fish upon
getting scent of it will cross plowed
fields to get to the fisherman using
it. Oftimes it has been the case
that an angler using his bait has
to climb tree to escape attack from
the hungry fish, and never it is safe
to go in a boat with a bottle of the
bait in ones pocket The chief paid
$l.50 for a pint of the celebrated
bait (the usal liquid bait" selling
for 80 cents, pint and guaranteed
to cure snakebite) and yesterday
went out to Chapman's Mill to test
its qualities. He will report results
this morning, and as he would not
eXaggerate fish story the catch
reported will be simply staggering.

PLANS Of BUILDING IN
HANDS OF ARCHITECT
New Theatre For Ameri-
Gus Proposed.

Architect Lockwood of Columbus.
was in Americus yesterday morning
and discussed plans for the new and
modern theatre building which citi-
zens here contemplate erecting. While
the matter is still under discussion,
and formal plans have not yet been
entirely decided upon, it seems quite
certain that the theatre will be built.
1t is realized that the time is most
opportune, and that the enterprise
would prove a profitable one, Surely
the need of such a building here is
sorely felt, and now while material
can be bought at a less price than
in many years it would seem the
time to act. An advantageous ste,
almost within the business centre
and within a block of the Windsor
Hotel, is at the disposal of the pro-
jectOrs of the enterprise, and the
hope is generally expressed that this
great need of Americus will very
soon be supplied. The Carnegie
Library is assured; now for the
new theatre and a large and modern
school building.

Infamous Circulars Denounced

1t has been falsely charged that |
am a negro lover, and that secret
conventions are being held by ne
groes throughout the state which
are indorsing me. Infamous circu-
lars are beng distributed with refer
ence to a northern dinner at which
the whites and blacks sat together at
the table, and the Endorsement OF
this has been attributed to me. Gov
ernor Smith in his recent speeches
in Rome and Barnesville, has given
public utterances to expressions on
this subject which | will not repeat
because besides being absolutely un-
true, they are too indecent to print
for reading by respectable people.
The history of my family is to
some extent known to Georgians. My
father was prominent in business and
politics. He was an ardent SuppOr-
ter of democratic doctrines, and re-
peatedly was honored by our peo-
pie, both before and after the war

of this memory. have not been un-
true to it, nor to my lNce, nor to my
people. Not a word or"act of my life
can be cited in support of governor
Smiths repulsive accusation.
1t is asserted that an immense cor
ruption fund was raised by the whis-
key and railroad interests to pro-
cure my election as governor. Those
who make this charge know that 1t
is false. The expenses of my race
have been borne entirely by myself
and the members of my immediate
family. | have not received one dol
lar from either the railroad or liquor
interests. | have not been the own
er of a bar, nor an actual partici-

What He Intends to Do


Governor Smith says that he in
tends if elected, to continue to carry
out his polkies. What are the in
evitable results of these policies?
/. To increase the tax rate, there
by adding to the burdens of the peO-
pie.
2. To keep capital from the state
thereby continuing business depres-
sion, closing mills and manufacture
ing plants, preventing all corporate
Improvements and making hungry
the families of thousands of Geor-
gia's wage-earners.
g. To big foreign immigrants in
to this state to compete with our
skilled mechanics and wage-earners
and to cheaper the already depressed
price of cotton.
A. To withhold from our beloved
and deserving confederate veter-
ans the annual payment of their
pension, the fund for which, under
the lsw is Aollected and in the state
treasury the year preceding matur-
ity.
5. To increase the fertilizer fees
15c per ton, thereby needlessly TAX
ing from the farmers of Georgia over
100000 annually
6. To rob the small counties OF
Georgia of their constitutional rights
of representation
T. To concentrate all political pow
er, both state and national, in him
self
8. To create a political machine
in Georgia with himself as the auto
crat.
9. To continue the agitation that
has been so hurtful to every interest
of Georgia and her people.
My countrymen, let us turn Oul
backs from a policy which means
discord and ruin; let us endeaVor tC
live in peace with each other; yea
let us lend helping hands to each
other; let US preserve our rights
as free people.

Character Assassination

OF a truth, character assassination
is now the we'll defined plan of Gov
ernor Smith and his partisans. He
and they avoid the real issues and
in lieu of the discussion of those
issues, they give the people slime
and misrepresentation But in this
connection | repeat an expression
which | used deliberately in my an
nouncement of my candidacy, viz:
t1 have faith in the people"
AS to what the governor has really
accomplished during his administra-
ton, ! deliberately charge that the
state has suffered every day during
his incumbency in office, and that her
people have been made poorer, her
assets weaker and her prosperity
retarded as a result of the so-called
vote-catching reform instituted by
him.
Quotations are taken from a re
cent speech of Gov Smith at Rome
showing the claims as to the achieve
ments of the administration, each
one being answered in a complete
manner.
1t will be observed that the Gov
ernor says nothing about his two
leading issues of his last campaign
that $4,000,000 the railroads were
he said, stealing from the peol lie
of the state in eXorbitant freight
rates, and the port rates which were
to be Immediately put into effect
resulting in the saving of millions to
the people.
In Savannah, a few days ago, he
explained to the merchants that the
port rates meant exactly the oppo-
site Of what he said they meant two
years ago-playing DR.. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde on this proposition just as
he has on every other question with
which he has dealt since he has been
in public life.
