LITTLE EGYPT"
IS FOUND DEAD

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-(SpeciaD =
Little Egypt''-the original Little
Egypt, the hoochie-koochie dancer,
who was a guest of Herbert Barnum
Seeley, grandson of the Snowman,
when Capt Chapman made his sensa-
tional raid at Sherry's little more
than ten years ago-was found dead
today in her apartmenat.
Little Egypt" who in private life
was Katherine Deyine, had lived in
the house for two months while she
was appearing with burlesque COM
pany in and around New York. She
recently closed an engagement at
the London Theater, on the Bowery.
and was soon to have opened with
THE Merry Widows" at New Or
leans.
Little Egypt" became famous the
world over following the sensational
Seely dinner and for a long time thea
tricaI managers beseiged her She
was engaged at high salaries to do
the dance, and was arrested in nearly
every city in the country.
After touring the United States
she went to Europe, and created a
furor in London, Berlin, Paris, Buda-
pest, and other cities on the continent
and upon her return to this country
she had lost none of her fame But
the novelty of Little Egypt" finally
wore out. Scores of Little Egypts'
sprang up, and it was hard to keep
track of the original.

Ills FARM A GOLDMINE
AS SHOWN BY SALES
Planter is Residing on Easy
Street.

Sumter county is filed with pros
porous farmers, boasting a larger
number perhaps, than any county in
the state and all of them live at
home" literally, and make large
surplus for sale as we'll
One of these, whose modesty forbids
the mention of his name, made few
sales in Americus yesterday, which
evidenced prosperity on his farm.
Eighty-five bales cotton, sold at
II cents round, netted him $55 per
bale, or a total of $4,675. This was
only portion of his crop, the surplus
held for an advancing market.
He also sold to Americus merchants
a whole carload of syrup, which net
ted probably $500
One thousand bushels cotton seed
a surplus above all needs on the
farm, brought him $3.50
Having killed hogs recently, he
sold here yesterday two WagOn-lOads
of fresh meat, over and above that
required for home consumption, and
will use the proceeds in buying other
supplies as may be needed.
Nearly $500 of produce sold from
his farm in a day.
But he did not sell out by any
means, as he has at home more than
a sufficiency of corn, syrup and other
commodities to run his farm, together
with the half dozen additional plOWs
run this year.
Sumter's soil is a goldmine, as evil
denced in this one instance cited.
And there are others.

CITIZEN WAS GIVEN BAD
FRIGHT BY A DREAM
The Mystery Was Cleared
Up Quickly.

An Americus man is ready to at
test gladly to the fact that dreams
come by contraries, and there's moth
ing in the sleep disturber over which
man should worry. Quite recently
he dreamed that his brother, a res
ident Of an Alabama city, hundred
miles away from Americus, had died.
For seven consecutive nights he
dreamed his brother dead, each
morning being more impressed with
the hallicination of the night. Bad
ly worried, he could stand it no
longer, and quietly slipping away he
went to the Alabama city. only to
be greeted cordially by his brother,
who like Mark Twain, declared the
report of his death unfounded. The
Americus man returned home yester-
day and is keeping the matter of his
pilgrimage a secret, while his faith
in dreams is shaken for all time.

JOINER MAY NEVER GET
INTO THE ASYLUM
Looks Like Prison Farm
for FOrger.

L. c. Joiner, the convicted forger
confined in the Americus Jail under
a five year sentence in the peniten-
tiary, may not escape the stripes after
all by a sojourn in the state asylum,
to which a jury committed him re-
Gently upon an insanity plea. Joiner
did not get ''nutty" here until after
he was jailed on the forgery charge
and months after the alleged forger-
les were committed. Recently admis-
sion to the asylum was denied him
upon the plea that the criminally in
sane was not taken there, and Joiner
is a convicted felon. The case is
yet in issue and in the meantime join
er remains in the county jail, where
he has been since early in November,
doubtless to his surprise. Deputy
Sheriff Fuller returned here yester-
day from the Insane Asylum, where
he went TO carry a crazy negro, and
the impressions he gathered from the
officials while there leads, to the be-
lief that Joiner will not be received
at the asylum. He will either re-
main in jail, or go to the prison farm
to serve his term, unless the case
takes some other turn

BUSY POLITICAL
YEAR FOR CITIUENS
Local, State and National
Elections on.

AmericUs voters will revel in cleo
tions this year. The political pot
will be kept boiling when once the
fires get we'll started.
Two Democratic state primaries are
onthe tapis, one to nominate a candi-
date for Governor and state officials
and the other for delegates to the
National Democratic Convention
which is to be held in Denver, to
nominate Bryan-or some other man
for the Presidency
Should the state democratic execu-
tive committee, decide upon another
late primary this year two conven-
tions are assured. In 1906 the prim-
ary was not held until August %, and
if it is that late this year delegates
can not be selected at the state con-
vention in time for the National Con-
vention, which meets on July 7.
Some time in the early spring a
meeting of the State Democratic Exc
cutive Committee will be held for the
purpose of setting date for the state
primary and should it be fixed for
June two conventions will not be need
ed
The state convention usually fol-
lows the primary by a week or ten
days and under such conditions dele
gates for the national convention
might be named In plenty of time
Georgia will be entitled to twenty
six delegates to the National Conven-
ton. There are eleven congressional
districts and each is allowed two del
egates. Four others are to be select
ed from the state at large. In the
state convention each county is al
lowed twice as many delegates as it
has representatives in the State
legislature.
Locally. county officers are to be
chosen, as we'll as three aldermen.
These contests will likely be warm
in some instances, and combined with
the heat of the Presidential election,
will give Americus citizens something
to think about in the political line.

LANDLORDS GOT
FIRE. WARNING

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-(SpeciaD =
Threats that their buildings would be
burned if they evicted the tenants
flooded the East Side landlords today
The warnings were supposed to have
come from the rent strikers, and in
general were on post cards, worded
as follows:
eve will move, but after your house
has been vacated the fire department
will visit you. The Red Flag.
Point was given to the threats by a
fire today at a Madison street tene-
ment. where the demands of the occu-
pants for lower rents had been refus-
ed.
Applications for dispossession papers
have been so heavy that several OF
the courts today were forced to refuse
to consider any more until Thursday
Many of the strikers are delaying
evictions by keeping the stoves in
their apartments red hot When the
marshals arrive they are compelled
TO wait until the stoves cool before
they can put them in the street with
the other furniture.

LARGE SUM TAKEN
BY EMIGRANTS

NEW YORK, ian. 10-(SpeciaD -
According to the North German Lloyd
Line, which has made a careful COM
putation based on the figures of
steamship agents, money changers,
and railroad men, more than $110,-
100000 was taken out of the United
States by the immigrants who re-
turned to their native places last
year. The estimate is that each of
the 550.045 foreigners had about
5000 with him.
AS an Offset to millions that de-
parted it is noted that / ,346.688 aliens
who arrived last year brought with
them, according to the estimate of
the Commissioner OF immigration,
about $27, ,273,260. Much of this, how
ever, was furnished to the immigrants
by relatives or friends in the United
States.

RULING ON BAGGAGE is
MADE BY THE BOARD
Access to Stations Given
Transfers.

An important ruling just made by
the Railroad Commission is of inter
est to the public generally. They
require that all railroad depots or
terminal companies shall receive at
the stations where they have agents,
all baggage proper for transportation
presented by the prospective passen-
gers or by their agents. A transfer
company is thus given access to the
statsions, and terminal companies are
required to issue claim check for
the baggage. The rules provides also
thst if baggage is not checked with
in - hours after it has been receiv-
ed the companies may charge a stor-
age at the sate of 25 cents for every
"a hours the baggage is kept.
