ARGUMENTS HEARD
IN MURRAY CASE
Alleged Deficit of Former
Supt. WaterwOrkS.

Argumena over an alleged short
age of Mr.. G. w. Murray, as Super
intendent of the City Water Works
department was heard by Auditor w.
T. Lane yesterday morning at the
courthouse. The city was represent
ed by Judge R. L. Maynard, the
bonding company by Nisbet & Dykes,
and Murray by Shipp e Sheppard.
The case arose as a result of an
audit made of Mr. Murrays books
by an audit company, which showed
an alleged deficit of about $1,400.
That there was any shortage was
denied by Mr.. Murray, who claimed
that the methods adopted to reach
the conclusion named were erroneous.
In one instance, for the year 1905
the deposits were in excess of the
total of the receipt stubs in the books
of the office. The city contends that
this excess should be charged against
Murray on the grounds that it evil
IDENTIFY came from somewhere. The
years 1906 and 1907 showed that the
stubs were in excess of the de-
posits, it is claimed Mr.. Murray
claims that the surplus in 1905
should apply to the apparent deficit
in the two later years. This conten-
ton the city denies.
After hearing argument, Auditor
Lane took the case under advisement.
His decision will be rendered before
Sept. 1, so as to give opportunity for
appeal for any one of the three in
terested parties

ONCE-YEAR PAYMENT
PLEASES VETERANS
Present Plan Works Hard.
ship in Many Ways.

Many expressions of qualification
have been heard from Confederate
pensioners in Sumter over the re-
turn to the plan of paying the
pensions in a lump early in the
year, instead of the -times-a-year
arrangement which has prevailed for
the past two years Not a single
protest has been heard since the
passage of the bill while commenda-
tion has been frequent
There are number of reasons
why the one-payment plan is pre-
ferable. One is that to have the
money all at one time enables the
pensioners to make investments in
a mule or horse which they could
not buy on the installment plan.
By the aid of this purchase crops can
be prepared, insuring returns in the
fall which will carry the veteran
through the winter In quarterly
payments the money is frittered
away without tangible results.
Then too, many of the pensioners
are aged and cannot bear the trip
to Americus four times a year. They
are willing to make the journey one
time, but it is too great a tax on
them to come oftener
Considerable work and red tape
will also be eliminated by the returi,
to the old-time method 1t is not
likely that there will ever again be
a change made, as the ranks of the
veterans will thin as the years go
by, and their slightest wish in the
matter of pensions will be readily
granted.

DRIVEN AT HIGH SPEED
THE DANGER is GREAT
Reckless Riding in AmeriCuS
Almost Daily.

The mes-RecoPder's protest yes
terday regarding the oftimes reck-
less driving of automobiles through
the city's streets was warmly COM
mended by many citizens who fully
realize the imminent danger of max
ing speedways of the public thorough
fares. While no one has been maim-
ed or killed here as yet, it is but a
question of time before the expect
ed happens. Yesterday, for instance,
while the streets were crowded with
people and teams, many of the latter
being driven in from the country and
unaccustomed to automobiles, some
of these cars were raced at a speed
of thirty or forty miles an hour
through this maze of wagons and
people. The Americus authorities
have prescribed no speed limit for
automobiles, but there is a city ordi-
nance which prohibits reckless driv-
ing in the city, and this, if enforced,
would put a curb upon reckless auto
racing. All auto owners do not
indulge in this dangerous sport, but
when some child or grown person is
finally run down or killed the law
that will then be quickly passed Will
apply to all of them alike.

DAVENPORT DRUG co.
TO lIQUIDATF
Will be Offered to Highest
Bidder Aug. Il.

For the convenience and best in
terests of the stockholders, it has
been decided to liquidate the busi-
ness of the Davenport Drug Com
pany. An advertisement to that eff
feet appears elsewhere. This result
will be accomplished by offering for
sale on Monday, Aug. 27, for cash to
the highest bidder, the entire stock
of drugs, medicines, fixtures and ac-
counts To enhance the value of the
business, all sales on and after to-
morrow will be credited to the ac-
count of the purchaser.
All bids for the stock must be
made in writing on or before the
date of sale. The stock is open to
the inspection of any prospective pur-
chaser The business of the COM
pany will not be interfered with for
moment, as the decision to place
the property on the market was en-
tirely voluntary, and largely for
personal reasons.
The Davenport Drug Company
was organized in $780, and for some
years occupied the building at the
corner of Lamar and Jackson streets.
In June 1907, the company removed
to it's present elegant home at 40
Lamar street Its stock is a large
one, and is up-to-date in every res
pect. The company transacts large
business, and is well and favorably
known over a wide territory.

last night all arrangements for the

one of greatest enjoyment, for these
sons of the forest, their families and
specially invited guests. Magnolia
Dell was first selected as the scene
of festivities, but Prospect Park,
which is much nicer and more in
viting, was decided upon last night.
The three Sumter camps, those at
Leslie, Americus and Plains, will
thus assemble and enjoy the day
together. The Americus camp will
meet at o'clock Tuesday morning,
and be joined later by the visiting
camps Over 500 pounds of pork and
mutton has been provided for this
feast royal, and this supply will
be supplemented with baskets of
good things Mr.. A. Pantone, of the
committee, will send for all baskets,

COTTON EXCHANGE
OPENS TOMORROW
Mr.. James |. Williams Will
be in Full Charge.

The Americus Cotton Exchange
will open tomorrow morning for
the season. 1t will be located on
Cotton avenue Mr. James l.. Will
liams, who managed the exchange
last year, will be in full charge
this season as superintendent. The
same room will be used on Cotton
avenue as was used last season.
Last year the exchange opened on
Sept 1, but the forwardness of the
season has made it seem advisable
to open earlier. Reports on prices
of cotton, stocks, grain and meat
products will be posted, as last sea-
son.
A meeting of the members of the
local exchange was held yesterday,
and a decision reached to secure a
leased wire service from New York.
1t was also decided to put Mr.. Will
liams in full charge of the Exchange,
both as operator and superintendent.
The services will be of the best,
and will furnish quotations as often
as there are changes in the cotton
market The wire was leased yes
terday.
