The terrified boys bore the body Of
their friend towards town for some
distance, until they could carry 1t no
farther. Then they sought the place
of farmer named Stink, who is To-

He harnessed up horse and brought
the body TO the city. where is was

to minor details.

nate shooting fatality that occurred
near Mad lake, about four miles up

fifteen years, son of John Miller, S0S
Adams street The death was practi-
cally instantaneous, the full charge
OF bird shot from the weapon, a
twelve gauge gun, taking effect Inn
mediately below his left ear, and sew
ering the left common carolid artery.
There is substantial agreement as
to the way in which the accident oc-
Cured. and the circumstances sur

unusual one. The Warren and Miller
boy swere sehoolmates. They had
gone 20 school together for number

describing IL to them, the Miller and
Warren boys proceeded to give prae-

in which these affairs of honor are
sometimes conducted. Starting back

The boys believed both weapons TO

The competition for the Collins cup

a day and was productive of some
excellent scores, noticeably the return
to form of H. T. Cutbbert who turned

proved to be a tie between him and

Cuthbert having and Scott a 8

ATLANIA'S FAIR Is

number of Americus folks have at
tended the Fair at Atlanta and all pro-
nounce it well worth visit to those
who are looking either for instruction
in the agricultural line, or for amuse-
ment in the way of races and interest
ing side shows.
The latter embrace a large number
that are of more than ordinary enter
tanning power. Probably best of all
are the trained lions, a quartet of one
male and three females, brought into
an arena with young woman who
controls and directs all four at will.
Three baby lions that can be handled
and petted are another decidedly pop
ular feature of the midway. A score
or more entertainments under canvas
help to while away an afternoon, with
number of swift horses entered.
Large crowds every day have at
tested the popularity of the Fair. To-
day a number of people from Ameri-
Gus and adjacent country will take ad-
vantage of the cheap rates afforded by
the Veterans Reunion to run up and
pass day or two doing the Fair. The
record attendance will doubtless be
during the present week. The Fair
closes on Saturday.

COnvening at Preston for
Annual Session.

A large and representative delega-
ton of Americus Baptists, represent
ing both Furlow Lawn and First
Baptist churches, went over to Pres
ton yesterday to attned the annual
convention of the Friendship Baptist
Association. Both Messrs o. P. Gill
bert and R. L. Bivins accompanied
the Americus party, which included
a large number of ladies representing
the two churches. Rev r. l.. Bivins
is moderator of the Friendship As
sociation, a position which he has
filled acceptably for number of
years. The opening sermon Tuesday
morning was delivered by Rev. T.
w. O'Kelly, of Dawson, before a con
gregation that taxed the capacity of
the church. Services will be held
every morning, afternoon and night
during the three days meeting, and
the proceedings will be interesting
throughout. There are fifty churches
in the bounds of the Friendship Asso-
citation, including the two Americus
churches, and all of these will be
represented at the Preston conven-
tion this week. The good people of
Webster, with characteristic hospi-
tality, will provide royal entertain
ment for the visitors.

PAINTERS TO WORK AT
HEIGHT OF 1876 FEET
Dizzy Altitude in Repaint-

Swinging by frail wooden ladder,
at height of 135 feet above the vitri-
fed brick pavement, two painters will
apply their brushes to the exterior of
the big steel can that holds the city's
supply of water The task is a peril
Gus one, and those who looked at the
frail pine ladder the painters made
yesterday for their task, wondered at
their nerve. The reservoir was wash
ed and scraped yesterday, and this
morning the nimble painters will
tackle the outer side with their brush
es. Swinging by their slender ladder
which is held by iron hooks to the rim
of the big can, they will give it a
coating of red paint. The job may re-
quire couple of days, and the paint
ers will be objects of interest while at
work 195 feet up in space.

STREET RAILWAY
HAS SECURED BOND
Providing Cash Forfeit for

The indemnifying bond has been
signed by the new street railway and
light company, protecting the city to
the sum of $4,000 for the complete
performance of the company's con-
tract. The bond is now on its way to
Americus, and will arrive tomorrow

and though the bond was not actually
in Americus, it has already been ex.
ecuted and will be here tomorrow for
acceptance by the City.
Under the provision of this bond, the
city is to receive $100 per day for each
days delay in beginning the work on
the street railway, and also $100 for
each days delay beyond April Is, 1909.
for the completion of the street rail
way and the other parts of the Dod-
son contract. 1t will be seen that the
city is thus thoroughly protected
against anV faiIura o1 tba l,art Of +bo
company to fulfill its contract with the
city by the middle of April.
1t is expected that the gas plant will
be taken over within the next few
days, which will insure cheaper gas
for the consumers, as the new COM
pany, as soon as it secures control of
the lighting equipment of the city will
reduce gas to $3.50 per thousand feet
for lighting and $125 for other pur-
poses.

Work on the new street railway was
begun yesterday on Cotton avenue

gang of men were set to work digging
holes for the poles which will support
the trolley wire.
1t is certain that the line will run

of this, the exact route of the railway
is not known; except that it is to run
into the southern section of the city
Two car loads of trolley poles are

LESSEE PLEASED
WITH AUDIENCE
Next Play Booked is The
Traitor on Nov. II.

Satisfaction was expressed after
Monday nights performance by Les
see Gortatowski, of the local theater,
over the returns from the opening
night. The event also marked the
first connection of Mr.. Gortatowski
with the Americus theater.
Il am much encouraged over the
situation said Mr.. Gortatowski, af-
ter the show was over. This is an
excellent audience, and from what I
can learn succeeding plays will do
even better than the initial perfor-
nance Americus looks to me like a
good proposition. Manager Bell
seems the right man, and I have no
doubt but that the present season
will be a successful one
So far as the bookings go, the next
production will be The Traitor" on
Nov. II. This is Thomas Dixon's play,
and ranks with THE Clansman, >
which is well known here. 1t is prob
able that some play may come in
which has not yet been scheduled,
and break the three weeks monotony.
For Monday nights performance
the opera house was in fine shape
The large and representative au-
dience found the play of interest,
which was sharpened by the long
interval since last season. With the
list of good, clean attractions which
are offered. the patronage the present
season will no doubt be better than
ever.

EXCESS FUNDS FOR
CHILDREN'S BOOKS
Musical Entertainments Not
a Money Making Affair.

Something over $500 has been rails
ed by the sale of tickets for the SER
les of musical entertainments ar
ranged for by Miss Anna May Bell
This leaves about $1OO yet to be rails
ed to cover the necessary expenses
The series of concerts are in no
wise money getting affair: All
that is desired is to meet the actual
expenses of bringing the artists
here. Any funds arising from the
sale of tickets in excess of the actual
expenses incurred will be devoted
to the purchase of line of good
books for the children's department
of the public library, sadly deficient
in books of any sort for the little
ones.
The price for a single ticket COW
ering the entire series of entertain
ments is So, or two tickets for the
series for S.. This makes these en-
tertainments the cheapest high class
concerts ever given in this or any
other city.
The Olive Meade Quartette is the
first of the series provided by Miss
Bell. 1t comes about the middle
of December. A sketch of it says
THE Olive Mead Quartet was or
ganized in 1908, and since that time
has played with great success in al
most every city of Importance from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. During
that time no less than three tours to
the Pacific Coast have been made by
these four young women. Among the
hundreds of Clubs and Colleges for
which this unique organization has
PLAYED might be mentioned Harvard

University Wells College, Knox Col

Since its organization there has
been one change in the personnel of

been changed The members of the

time tQ it and rehearse almost daily
during the entire year, with the result
| that the Olive Mead Quartet is today
acknowledged to be the leading wo-
man string quartet in the world, and
is placed on an equal plane with the
