BULLET IN HEART PUT
HARRIS OUT OF ACTION
Negro Barber is Killed by
Another.

Arthur Harris, negro barber who
operated a shop on lie street, near
the courthouse, was shot through the
heart early last night by another ne
gro, said to be Tom Stewart Only
one shot was fired, but this seemed to
have suf1iced.
The tragedy occurred in the yard of
a negro woman, Tiss Ray, on Jefferson
street, in rear of the Council ware
house
Death was instantaneous, Harris
dropping in his tracks beneath a cedar
tree near the door.
What led to the killing is moi
known, as the two men were standing
in the shadow of the trees. The po-
lice stated that there were witnesses
to the killing, and these will doubt
less make a statement before the cor
oner today.
Stewart, the negro charged with
the homicide, lives eight miles in the
country. Sheriff Bell and Deputy
Fuller went out last night to effect his
arrest, but at a late hour had not re-
turned to the city That they will get
him is quite sure
The body of Harris was carried to
Simmons undertaking establishment
The affair created much excitement
among the negroes.

TO OPEN NEW THEATRE
HERE IN FEW DAYS
For Display of the Finest
Moving Pictures.

The new Holt building on Lamar
street among the largest store rooms
In the city, and easily seating 300 or
400 people, has been secured by Mr..
E. NJ. Viquesney and will be modern
ly fitted up for moving pictures. 1t
will be a gem of a theatre.
1t is expected to have the new
house open in few days.
Mr.. Viquesney, while out west this
summer, completed arrangements
with a personal friend who is mana
ger of large plant manufacturing
moving picture machines and films
to handle its product here.
Being manufacturers, and interest
ed in the success of the Americus
enterprise, they will supply the new
est and best films, all of an interest
ing and educational kind.
The machines to be used are en-
tirely '.flickerless" and therefore not
at all trying upon the eyes.
The new theatre has been hamed
the Majestic and some day when AM
erieus has a day current the matinee
performances will be Of frequent oc-
currence. Being upon the ground
floor, the theatre will have the great
advantage of easy access.
The\ \machine to be used will flash
post cards or photographs upon the
screen, and patrons will be invited to
bring such pictures for display. Flu
Ter details of the opening will be
given at an early date.

UNWILLING OF WIRz
MONUMENT POSTPONED
AmeriCUS Apparently Has
Best Chance of Get
ting 1t.

The WIirz monument will not be
unveiled at Andersonyille on Oct 81.
The Savannah convention, which
meets Oct. q, will decide the location.
Americus stands in a fine position
to be made the site of the monument,
though Macon Atlanta and Anderson
vile will each have supporters in the
convention next week Delegates
from the local chapter will go TO Sa-
vannah determined to convince the
majority of the delegates that this
city is the best place for the monu-
ment. 1t will be recalled by those
familiar with the history of the ques-
ton that Americus was first selected,
and that Andersonville was chosen
later.
No information has been received
from Miss Baxter, the State President
as yet, but as the date has passed
which was the latest for beginning the
work on the pedestal by Contractor
Clark, who was acting under orders
in holding off, it is now too late to get
the monument ready by Oct. 81.
1t is practically certain that the
Savannah convention will select the
day after the general convention in
Atlanta, which meets about the mid
die of November This would enable
much larger number of the Daugh-
ters to be present, and make it a more
important occasion than if the state
chapters alone participated.
The Board of Trade has already
guaranteed the two items of repaying
the Columbus Chapter for their con-
tributions, and the cost of invitations
which have been printed for Oct. 81.
A site will be selected this week to be
rendered to the U. D. c. The spot in
side the court house grounds will most
likely be chosen. When the delegates
leave for Savannah they will be ready
to meet the situation at every point.
Much of the credit of the postpone
ment of the unyeiling is due to Mrs
j. E. Mathis. chairman of the Site
Committee, and to Mrs. James Taylor,
of the same committee, who so ably
seconded every move.
The Board of Trade also took an
active part, and deserves a good share
of the credit.
While Americas undoubtedly enters
the contest for the monument site with
good lead, no ideas of security will
cause a cessation in the work. Ander-
sonville will probably have the second
best following, but the same argu-
ments which have led to a postpone
ment of the unyeiling will also stand
against it's selection a second time
This city has the logic of the situation
and its advocates have the greatest
hopes of final victory.

GOT HUSBAND AND
SAVED DEPORTATION

New Orleans. La, Oct. 17.-Yester-
day Domencis Druili wept bitterly al
the thought of having to return tc
Italy before she had even set foot il
the bright new land of promise. To
day she is a happy bride, with nC
fear of deportation at the hands OF
the United States government authori-
ties.
The pretty young woman came over
on the immigrant ship Liguria, bu
was refused admission on the grounds
that she was without means and hat
no relatives in this country. But t.
her rescue came Rocco Amori, who
hearing of her plight, offered to be
come her husband without the formal
ity of an extended courtship.
Judge Val j. Stenzt of the FRS
City Court, was called in and tht
marriage consummated on board tht
ship Then the immigration official'
and ships officers drank to the healtl
of the happy pair, and the latter, witt
faces wreathed in smiles, went dowi
the gang plank together.

A SUGGESTION Is MADE
IN REGARD TO SCHOOL

Times Recorder Today is pre-
eminently day Of specialization. No
where is this truer than in the
schools There are special schools
and special teachers in all the de-
partments of learning and the best
teaching is done in buildings erect
ed especially for the purposes of
the teaching.
There is a wide difference between
school houses and school buildings.
Americus has never had school
building, and it was with that in view
that 5000 in bonds were voted by
its people that we might have mod
ern, up-to-date school building
which would be an ornament to the
city and up to the standard of the
best that has been attained by more
liberal and intelligent consideration
of the classroom work as we'll as of
the hygienic and sanitary conditions
of light, heat and ventilation.
If a compress is built, or cream
cry, or a Y. NJ c. A. building, or a
library, or a school, it is built with
q due regard to the purposes for
which it is to be used.
If we insist on certain conditions
in the COW barns from which our
milk supply comes, shall we be less
careful about the buildings which
house our children the greater part
of their working hours of the day?
Now, the writer does not assume
to set himself up as censor of the
school authorities, nor does he wish
to create the impression that he
knows more about schools than any
one else, but twenty-five years a
teacher, in that poor apology for a
school building, Furlow School, COM
pels him to urge that there be no
temporizing in providing the next
school building,
Fof fifty years we are building now.

MANY UNLOVED MAIDS
EAGER FOR JOBS

Chicago, Ill.,, Oct. 17.-Some days
ago the firm of G. r. Lyon & Sons,
a dry goods concern, doing business
at Waukegan, advertised for women
clerks who had never been shared in
Cupid's net and who were not likely
in the immediate future to become
involved in the meshes. The adver-
tisement has brought many answers
whether from humorists or bona fide
applicants does not appear. The mails
of the past few days have brought
at least an embarrassment OF
riches and the firm is now at a loss
how to make a decision.
One young woman, who lives at
st. Cloud, Mimi, writes that she
feels perfectly qualified to take the
job, because, although she is 40 and
good-looking, she is in no immediate
danger of being made a target for
Cupid's arrows. However, she adds
she has not yet given up hope.
Another candid young woman, who
holds most cynical views of marriage
in the abstract, writes after this wise
Would you please consider the
application of myself and twin sis
ter, who lisps a trifle. We are both
attractive young ladies of 80, have
very little experience, but feel that
we could very easily learn. We
would much prefer good p ositions
than seek matrimony'
Still another woman of mature
years, this time, thinks that she
could fit into the requirements with
out friction She writes from Gales
burg in this manner:
Il am a young lady of 46 l have
never yet seen the man would
marry, SO | feel | can fill all your
requirements in every particular AS
far as credentials, they are of the
very highest and would be glad to
give them on request
The Waukegan firm has number
less letters of the same tenor, and
the sole problem is to choose among
the applicants.

THEATRICAL SEASON
OPENS MONDAY NIGHT
List of Attractions Will be
Increased.

Tomorrow night the 1908-09 thea
trical season will be opened in Amer
icus by the production of Under
Southern Skies This is well
known play and will doubtless be
largely patronized
For the past few days Manager Bell
has been having the opera house
thoroughly renovated. Carpets have
been laid in the aisles, and other
minor improvements made The house
will be looking at its best for the
opening performance
Manager Bell states that the com
ing play has been confused by some
with "A Soldiers Sweetheart" which
appeared here last season and which
did not make a good impression. I'm
der Southern Skies" is an excellent
production, and does not rank with
the cheap plays.
Two numbers have recently been
added to the bookings. THE Devil
is one of them, this famous play be-
ing down for a December date. An
other new one is Coburn's Minstrels.
1t is expected that dozen or more
new attractions will be added to the
list heretofore published If this can
be accompanied by Lessee Gotatow-
ski the theater-going public will be
delighted
Among the best known plays COM
ing will be THE Traitor" by Thos.
Dixon, Jr, author of The Clansman, .
"The Rivals" Joe Jeffersons play IN
which two of his sons appear. THE
Great Divide" and Max Figman, pre-
sumably in ''The Man on the Box. =
and Buster Brown" East Lynne"
that old standby, will also be here,
as well as other plays of excellent
reputation.

FIRST WEEK IN SCHOOL
is ONE OF SUCCESS

The kindergarten school has just
ended the first week of the fall ses

present as with the other schools,
but the attendance already has reach
de fifteen little tots and others will
come in this week. Miss Dunwoody
is a young lady of charming person
ality and a most capable teacher, and
already has won place in the hearts
of her little charges. The library
building is admirably suited to school
purposes, being centrally located and
with ample play grounds.

High Price of Beer in Brazil.

Consul George H. Pickerell of Para,
advises American brewing companies
that the importation of beer into that
part of Brazil is restricted owing to
the high customs duties. These are
collected on all foreign beers with
the exception of -'stout"-which
is considered medicine, and admit
ted at the former lower rate No
beer has been imported at Para for
the last six months, and the stocks
on hand are nearly exhausted, what
remains being sold at nearly 81 gold
per bottle; the local product sells at
33 to 40 cents per bottle.
Notwithstanding the difference in
the cost of foreign and native beers,
consumption OF the latter has not i0-
creased materially owing to the pres
ence of and the fondness for the good
grades Of cheap wines imported from
Portugal and France, and which sell
at or about the same price as native
beer.

DOG GUARDS CHILDREN.
Two Stray Youngsters Taken 4
Charge by Canine.


Two lost little girls, their big, wist-
full eyes wet with tears, bewildered by
the maze OF traffic in which they
moved. but each firmly clasping the
others hand In a determined sort OF
way, caused the hearts Of pedestrians
and bystanders to jump with appre-
hension as they lodged in and out
among streetcars, wagons and BIZ
cycles at Post street and Riverside
avenue about 5 o'clock yesterday
evening. Closely trailing their un-
certain footsteps was a black. water
spaniel which seemed determined to
follow the tots no matter into what
danger they led him.
Patrolman Reeves. standing on the
corner. seeing the dangerous position
of the waits, stopped traffic for a
moment and towed his young charges
to the sidewalk. The youngsters were
sight to look at when the officer
bent over them to ask. them their
names. One of the little heads, which
was crowned with a luxuriance Of
glossy, black curls, was In a sadly dis
heveled state, while the once bright
pink ribbon which held the rebellious
locks together was soiled in many
places. The little brunette's compan-
ion. a pronounced blonde, with a
wealth of golden hair which hung
loosely down her back. had a dirty
face and her apron strings were trail
ing on the walk. A deep, soulful
brown and bright, clear blue their
eyes.
A torrent of hot tears swept the
little faces as the policeman question:
ed them. Finding his task futile, the
officer started down the street to the
police station, holding the diminutive
curly head by the hand. The latter
in turn held tightly TO the hand of the
golden-haired tot, and the dog, look
ing quite contented, brought up the
rear Thus they entered the police
station, while officers crowded
around.
The dog took up a comfortable po-
sition under bench, but kept a
sharp eye to see that no harm came
to the little ones Eva Whipple, age
Z, and Ethel Mccormick aged s, they
said their names were. Eva said her
papa was a streetcar. man. The par
ents of both later came to the station
and took the youngsters home.
1t developed that the children had
never seen the dog before. He met
them on the street and seeing them
alone and unprotected, volunteered
to watch over them.-Spokesman
