The plan to electrify the province

signed contracts are London, Hamil-

Berlin, Stratford. Preston, Gait and

per horsepower per year and St.

the other cities will pay range be-
tween these figures, according to dis

amount of power contracted for, AS

are completed line will be run to

ENGINES ARE LYING IN
THE YARDS IN MAgON
Not Required as Traffic is
Dull.

In Americus yesterday was well
known Maconian, who, while hope
full of an early return of better bust
ness conditions related instances
which emphasized the effect of the
depression brought about by the re-
cent financial stringency and the hos
tility towards railways in the state.
In the Macon yards of the Central, he
said, were a large number of freight
locomotives entirely out of service,
as they have been for weeks past.
Decreased business, as the result of
legislative and administrative at
tacks, together with conditions gen
orally, had put these engines and
crews out of business. The locomoti-
yes are painted white to prevent rust
ing, and there they stand, pulseless,
grim evidences of adverse conditions
in Georgia. A year ago, there were
not enough engines available to ham
die the enormous freight traffic on the
Central, but conditions are sadly
changed now.

MUCH MERRIMENT
OVER 20 CENT SUIT
Ex-HuSband of Nine. GOuId
is Def fendant.

PARIS, Jan. 16.-(SpeciaD All
Paris is awaiting with suppressed
merriment the outcome of the suit
brought by Prince Helle de Sagan
against Count Boni de Castallane, his
cousin in which he seeks to recover
one franc, or 20 cents, as damages
because of the alleged ''unprovoked
assault" committed by Boni on the
Prince. The action is set for hearing
February and will undoubtedly at
tract hundreds of the nobility and So
cfaI elect of France to the court
room.
While the principals assert that
the quarrel arose over a purely per-
sonat matter, popular rumor has
it that Boni and his cousin fought
over Nine Anna Gould, the divorced
wife of the latter. 1t is an open secret
that Count Boni is seeking to regain
the affections, and incidentally, the
fortune, of his former wife. In this
endeavor he had rival in Prince
de Sagan, the dissolute cousin of the
count, who is so notoriously immoral
that he has become a stencil in the
ncstrils of even Partisan society.
The physical encounter between
Count Boni and Prince HelIie occur
red in the Church of st. Pierre de
Challott. Struck and pummelled by
Count Boni and his brother Count
Jean de Castellane, Prince de Sagan,
with the blood streaming from sever
al cuts in his face, ran from the
church into the street, where he was
pursued by the de Castellanes until
the genuarmes interferd to save
Prince Hellie from further punish
ment.

MEDICAL SOCIETY HAS
NAMED NEW OFFICERS
Doctors of Sumter Have
Meeting Here.

The Sumter County Medical So
ciety, which includes in it's mem
bership many if not all of the physi-
clans of the city and county, held it's
annual meeting Thursday night.
There was a full attendance, and
general good fellowship prevailed
among the medicos
The annual election of officers re-
suited as follows:
DR.. ]. F. McMath, president; Dr.
J. w. Chamliss, vice-president; DR.
D. B. Mayes, secretary and treasurer
DR.. F. L. Cato is delegate to the
meeting of the State Association; DR.
r. E. Cato, alternate.
The censors committee are DR.. r.
E. Cato, DR.. F. B. Gregory, and DR..
f. A. Thomas.
DR.. Gregory and DR.. F. L. Cato were
admitted to the membership of the
society, both being newcomers here,
while DR.. G. T. Miller withdrew his
membership as he goes to Macon to
reside.
The society took suitable action
upon the retirement of Dr. Miller, one
of its most useful and active mem
bers, and commends him heartily to
those of the profession in his new
field.
The society is in a very flourishing
condition and does much to advance
the cause of science and produce cor
dial relations among the members.

GIT PLENTY OF BOOZE
ON ARRIVAL OF TRAIN
AmeriCuS Gets Supply By
Express.

The Americus express Office is
rapidly assuming it's quondam ap-
pearance when. during former prohi-
bition days, our cough drops came
by express from Macon, Oglethorpe,
Albany and points beyond the Geor-
gia line
A little must be had for medicinal
use' and it is coming in.
For, whereas a battleship could
have been loated three weeks ago
in the liquor held in Americus, it
is gone now, even the reserve stock
seeming to have vanished.
Hundreds of people here put away
quantities from a quart to a case
or barrel, but only the barrel buyer
seems to have any left, while al
ready the man behind the one quart
proposition is putting in his mail
orders.
And the snake extract arrives daily
by every train.
It is said that $40 to $50 is sent
from Americus every day to one
mail order house in a distant city
And there are others.
And the mail order business will
increase rapidly every day as the
reserve stock put aside before the
saloons closed diminishes. 1t is easy
to place an order here by the noon
mail and have a jug delivered next
morning.
Or if not a plain jug. a "box of
books" which sometimes leaks.
Within three or four months the
shipping business will have assumed
huge proportions and the express
company's employees will work over
time here as elsewhere.
But Americus will buy hers legiti-
mately, and in the open market where
it is sold. She will not tolerate blind
tigers, and as evidence of this truth
Chief Feagin stated yesterday that
there was no evidence of one here
as yet.
Perhaps, sooned or later, people will
learn to do without it. Certain is
is, that with the temptation removed
there is far less drinking here today
than heretofore.

WORKS SMOOTH GAME
UPON THE FARMERS
Sharper is Catching Them
Easily.

Several farmers over the state are
being picked up" by a sharper on a
new confidence game, although his
operations have not extended to the
vicinity of Americus as yet. The
swindler, it is stated, represents him
self as being an immigrant agent
connected with the department of
agriculture. The department of ag-
ricuture has never had any such
agent. The trick of this alleged i'm
migration agent is to impose on the
hospitality of the planters, take pic
lures of the farmers house and
family, and then give him a spiel
about using the photographs in the
government reports. He usually col
lects few dollars to pay the cost
of reproduction.

DEAD AT NINETY YEARS
WOMAN HAS A HISTORY
AmeriCus Lady Thrice a
Widow Dies.

Ninety years old, the widow of
three husbands, the progenitrix of a
family of eleven children and two
grand children, Mrs. Eliza Anne I'm
derwood died at a hospital in Mont
gomery believing that nowhere in
the wide world did any one bear the
name of her or any of her husbands.
Born and reared here in Sumter
county near Americus, Mrs. Under
wood did not know of relative on
earth who bore either of her names
those of her three deceased hus-
bands.
Seventy years ago she removed to
Alabama and has since lived there.
Mrs. Underwood was born in Sum
ter county, July 18, 1918, and when
she was about twenty years old she
was married to the late Wiley Hullan,
of Greenville.
To them were born eleven children.
Only one of these children, Rebecca
Hulan, attained maturity and was
AIol I16u one D0CdIu0 IHS Wll0 OF w.
T. McCutcheon, and two children were
born to them
Afterwards Mrs. Hulan married
Newton Cooper, and after his death
she was welded to Frank Underwood,
who died in 1872. Mr. Cooper and
Mr.. Underwood, who served in the
Confederate army, were citizens of
Montgomery
A remarkable feature of Mrs.
Underwood's death was her repeated
fear of being buried while she was
still alive, and this dread, spoken in
the form of dying request, is the
cause of the naming of Friday as the
day of her funeral.
AS her deathbed request the funeral
is delayed until today
Quite likely some of the older citi-
zens of Americus, or of the county
will be able to recall to mind this
estimable lady and former resident
here.

One of the most humorous situations
in 'The Heir to the Hoorah," which

out practical joke put up on Bud
Young by Joe and Dave Lacy. The
practical joke takes the form of a
certain maiden aunt concerning whom
in connection with Mr.. Young's matri-
monial future they converse with
frequency. The fun comes when the
maiden aunt in question turns out
to be a remarkably pretty girl named
