Ind others discuss the issues of the

Continuing Judge Parker said:
"And when Treasurer George B.
Cortelyou, of the national committee
in that year, went to the Standard Oil
company by appointment to ask for
money for the campaign fund he was
not satisfied with 100000 but wanted
more. 1t may be true that Roosevelt
wrote to Cortelyou telling him to send
that 100000 back to the Standard
Oil company but it is equally true
that Cortelyou did not send 1t back
but used it. And it is also true that
he was never punished by Roosevelt
for not sending the money back. On
tho contrary he was rewarded by be-
ing made postmaster general Of the
United States and afterward secre-
tarv of the treasury"

RAILWAY Is LIABLE TO
SHIPPER FOR LOSSES
A Decision of Interest TO
Fruit Growers.

The State Railroad Commission,
through Chairman S. G. McLendon
gave out yesterday statement which
will be of interest to Georgia peach
melon and canteloupe shippers, and
in fact, to all Georgia shippers who
originate traffic going beyond the
confines of the state
The statement shows the cOnstitut-
tionality of the recent federal law
holding responsible for any loss or
damage the railroad first receiving the
goods from the shipper.
1t quotes from a recent decision
rendered by Judge John H. Rodgers
of the United States District Court for
the Western Division of Arkansas, in
which Judge Rogers passes upon the
constitutionality of the Hepburn act.
Applying the decision to local con-
ditiOns, the commission says, simply
means this:
If a Georgia fruit grower ships a
carload of peaches from his orchard
in Sumter county to San Francisco
and if these peaches are damaged on
the railroad between Salt Lake City
and the point of destination, the Geor-
gia shipper can hold Responsible for
the damage the railroad in Georgia
which gave him the original bill of
lading.
He can do this, notwithstanding the
fact that the damage was done by an
other road thousands of miles away
The road in Georgia which received
the peaches is, of course, permitted
under the Hepburn act to recoup the
damages paid to the Georgia shipper
from the road which actually did the
damage.

COMMITTEE is GOING IN
BEHALF OF AMERICUS
To Prevent the Swiping of
Train.

The committee Of Americus business
men who will appear before the Rail-
road Commission tomorrow in behalf
of the commercial interests of Am
ericus, will go to Atlanta tonight.
These are Messrs. G. w. Glover, Frank
Lanier and Lee Allen, president of
the Board of Trade, who will protest
against the attempt of Columbus to
take away from Americus the only
passenger train operated on the AM
ericus-COlumbus division of the Cen
tral Railway, and turn it to that
city instead. The Central is no party
to this bold attempt at train-swiping
but Columbus mOdestly CD asks the
Railroad Commission to compel the
Central to reverse its schedule and
give that town and not Americus the
train. Columbus has forgotten the
fact that Americus gave her thou
sands towards the building of this
road constructing entirely the line
between this city and La Crosse, but
the railway company has not forgot
ten it, and will continue to give Am
ericus a square deal by continuing
the schedule which has been in opera
ton for fifteen years or longer.

SCHOOLS MAY UNITE IN
BIG PICNIC in MAY
Such Proposition Now Be-
ing Considered.

Several of the Americus Sunday
schools may unite in a general picnic
on May 18th, with Crump'sPark, at
Macon, as the scene of annual festiv-
ity if such plan is adopted and fav-
orable rates can be had from the Cen
trail Railroad.
Such was the plan discussed Sunday
morning in the First Baptist and First
Methodist schools, two of the larg-
est here, and other schools will be
invited to unite with them.
And the excursion seems to meet
with general favor
Supt. Miller of the city schools, has
the subject under advisement, and
may declare a general holiday upon
that date, if others of the Sunday
schools desire to take their annual
outing> at that time. Such an eXcur-
sion would prove very popular.
Agent j. E. Hightower will take
the matter up at once with the rail-
road company regarding a special
train and reduced rates, and will re-
port thereupon in a day or two.

OFFICERS ARE HERE TO
INSPECT THE TROOPS
Light Infantry on Parade
Tonight.

The AmericuS Light Infantry, Com
pany L, Fourth Infantry, will be Off
cially inspected tonight at the COM
pany's armOry. This is the annual
inspection of the troops by regular
army and state officers and is both
rigid and thorough. Major Landers,
of the Fourth Artillery, U. S. A, rep
resenting the army department, and
Major Palmer, U. S. A, retired, rep
resenting the State department, will
make the inspection Capt G.. E.
Van Ripper of Company L., will have
the required fifty-eight men and eX-
poets that his command will pass a
very creditable inspection. Every
thing in the way of arms, accoutre-
ments, tents and camp equipage will
be inspected by the officers, while the
troops will be put through the us
ual drill. The men have been drill
ing every day for some time past, and
yesterday the finishing touches were
put upon the tents and other equip
ments stored in the armOry
Tonight at 1870 o'clock the COM
pany will assemble at the armory for
the inspection, which will be of the
usual rigid character. 1t is expected
that the full strength of the COM
pany, three officers and 58 men, will
be out.
The annual inspection of the state
companies by regular officers is do
ing much to keep them up to a higher
standard. 1t is the general impress
sion that the Americus company will
secure a better rating than it did a
year ago, having a larger enrolment
and the men being more efficient in
the use of their arms.

LAST OF 100000,
SAYS AMERICUS MAN
Written on Bill Found by
New JerSeyite.

Who is John A. Anderson, signing
from Americus, and why did he
plunge so heavily?
These two questions form the basis
for large news story, but until they
are answered the public must be sat
isfied with such meager facts as to
the identity and career of Mr.. Ander-
son as are at hand. Inquiry among
the older citizens fails to reveal an
acquaintance with Mr.. Anderson,
though if he ever lived here it is
quite possible that he will yet be re-
called by some one.
A few days ago an Americus man
received a letter from Atlantaq en-
closing a clipping from an Asbury
Park, N. j., paper which read as fol-
lows:
When Mrs. George w. Pittenger
asked her husband for some pin
money yesterday, the genial real es-
tate man counted out to her the last
of 100000 The last of 100000 was
represented by a lone silver certifi-
cate for one dollar. AS Mr. Pittenger
counted out some paper money to his
wife his attention was attracted to
this particular certificate and on it,
written heavily in ink, he found this
inscription: This is the last of
100000 Young man, beware" John
A. Anderson, Americus, Ca
Probably a Wall street victim, ,
mused Mr.. Pittenger, as he showed
the last of 100000 back in his pock-
et."
1t will be a matter of general re-
gret that the genial Mr.. Anderson did
not make himself know in the local
financial world, as the turning loose
of even a fraction of the sum named
would have attracted attention to the
prodigal.

Selecting Committees.

The AmerlcuS organization was ad-
Vised to select a small group of men,
not necessarily prominent, but who
know the problems to be presented
and how to handle them. In a com
mittee on claims he suggested that one
wholesale man accustomed to handling
claims, one from the retailers with a
similar experience, one from the man
ufacturers and one from the railroad
be chosen.
The strongest man of the four was
to be chosen as chairman. The secre-
tary should get the proper data and
submit it to the committee and let it
consider specific cases and make. rec
concentrations. Such a committee in
Mr.. Betjeman's home town had in
creased the percentage of claims paid
from 40 to 85 per cent. The Denver,
Savannah, Atlanta and Montgomery
chambers of commerce were cited as
examples of efficient work along this
line
Such quiet work does not show up
like a big factory, but it reaches the
business men and they learn to have
faith in the organization.
He suggested graded membership,
whereby all could be brought in, the
dues being proportinate to the indi-
vidual benefit. Mr.. Betjeman reported
that Albany had a membership of 700
in it's trade organization, and that the
funds received from dues enabled that
city to secure many desirable indus
tries and immigrants.
Mr.. Betjeman drew literally on his
wide personal experiences in describ-
ing the methods of work and showed
what had been done elsewhere, as ex-
amples for Americus to adopt
