REED IS HERE TO
SEE BIG ORCHARD

Werner z. Reed was an arrival in
the city last evening from an extend
ed western trip to his mining prop
critics in Nevada and California.
Mr.. Reed stopped yesterday at Lo
ma and went out to his great or
chard which us being planted for
him. He spoke with the very high
est qualification last night of the
manner in which his manager, Mr..
Cool. had accomplished the almost
herculean task of preparing the land,
extending the bitches and doing the
multitudinous things for and plant
ing three hundred and five (3O5)
acres of orchard.
Mr.. Reed, in speaking to a Senti-
mel reporter. stated that the work
was done thoroughly, and he felt
that a big thing had been accomp-
lished for that part of the valley.
To accomplish this work there had
been employed from the beginning of
the work about fifty men and an i'm
mense amount of detail work had
been wei done by these men. Mr..
Reed says that there is much yet to
do to make that section of the coun-
try look as he hopes it will in the
course of two or three years. He is
not only planting fruit trees, but al
SO many trees lOI int
great orchard tract, SO that it Will
be one OF the show places of western
Colorado when he has fulfilled the
ideal orchard home that he has pro-
posed to make it.
Mr.. Reed finds much comfort in
the work that is being done here
for him. He has always had a great
liking for the Grand valley, and,
with this added interest in the west
ern part of Mesa county, he will be
more firmly tied to the interests of
this whole section.
Aside from the work that is be-
ing done by Mr.. Reed at Iona, much
other work is being done by owners
of lands, who are planting them to
fruit. In a few years that section
of Mesa county, which was aptly
named the desert" will bloom and
blossom as the other settled portions
of the valley

ated by Board.

At the meeting of the board of coun-
ty commissioners yesterday a full and
thorough investigation9was made of
charges recently brought against
Supt wv R. Pacshal, of the county
road department, based upon state
ments made by some of the negro con
victs. Supt. Paschal requested the
fullest investigation possible and to
this end presented witnesses, as did
the other side The commissioners
were thus engaged for several hours,
and in making up their decision, from
the evidence, decided unanimously
that there was nothing whatever in
the way of proof to sustain the charg
es against the superintendent and he
was, therefore eXonerated. Mr.
Paschal was represented at the hear
ing by Mr. E. A Nisbet, and the exam
ination included chaingang employees,
physicians and others After the trial
had been concluded and Mr. Paschal
declared innocent of any wrong doing,
he rendered to the board his resigna-
tiOn as superintendent of roads, a po-
sition which he has held satisfactorily
for a long while as the most skilled
road builder and manager of labor
ever in the employ of the county

regular bi-monthly session. One OF
the matters to come before the meet
ing will be the second reading of
the bill fixing the price of gas at a
minimum of $3.50 for Illuminating and
$l.25 for heating and power purposes.
This bill was introduced at the

suspend the rules and put the bill
on second reading at once Objection

1t is reported that an amendment
may be offered tonight, providing
even more stringent regulations as
to prices.
The figures named are those pro-

charges which the commission is
asked to fix.

ed requiring Mr. Dodson to put up

antee that the contract would be
completed by April 1, 1909

BABY WORTH MILLIONS
Is KNOWN IN MANY LANDS

Newport, N. Y, Sept 16-Young
Nicholas Brown, the $10,O00,009
Baby" Brown and the prospective
heir to several millions more as his
fathers share from his grandmother,
Mrs John Carter Brown, is the wild
est known 8-year-old in the country
Baby Brown was hurried off to
Europe last winter to escape sus-
pected kidnappers, where he travelled
through England and the south of
France.
The little fellow has come to- be
known in Piccadilly, in London, and
in the Champs Elysees, of Paris.
A great change has come over Baby
Brown within the past year, for he
regards himself no longer Baby
Brown, but Master Nicholas Brown.
This summer he is decked out in
silk knickerbockers, patent leather
ties, sack coat, Buster Brown collar
red necktie, light colored English
walking topcoat, and with this get-up
he carries a walking stick, and is
attended always by a nurse and ,
private detective
His daily life is somewhat methodi-
cal, for Mrs Brown wants her son to
be well and strong, and as one of the
means toward that end he has to
dispose of a quart of cream daily. In
the course of the day he has four
meals, but not heavy ones He has
luncheon with his French nurse, and
for boy With so many millions it is
q simple one, such as soup, fish and
fruit. He takes dinner with his
mother. Each afternoon the lad goes
horseback riding with two atten-
dants, one on each side. In the
afternoon he drives for while with
his mother, after first calling upon
his grandmother, who is very feeble,
and expects her grandson every day,
without fail
For amusement before going to bed
Baby Brown may go to the playroom
and start up his imported moving
pictures. This about comprises the
child's daily routine. If it varies,
it is only in nOnessentials. If he
attends Emmanuel Church with his
mother on Sunday, he is accompanied
by the nurse and watchman just abe
same. Mrs. Browns instructions are.
Never take your eyes off Johnny,
you can never tell what might hap
pen.

WILL FIGHT IN COURTS
THE LAW IN MACON
Beer hearers Have Employ
ed Counsel.

1t was learned III Americus yes
terday that Macon near" dippers had
employed counsel and made ar
fangements to fight the tax as
provided in the special session of the
Georgia Legislature. An injunction
against the collection of the tax
will be served on Ordinary Wiley
as soon as Judge of the Superior
Court can be reached. Today the
collection of the tax will start The
claims of the near beer sellers are
that the tax measure is unconstitu-
tional because it was an act passed
at a special session of the Legisla-
ture not called for the purpose 1t
is also claimed that the funds are
to go to the convicts instead of the
schools, as provided for in the con-
stitution.

CARNEGIE PLANS
ARE APPROVED
Last Kink in Building
Strengthened Out.

All delays over the Carnegie Lii
brary are now happily ended, Presi-
dent Crawford Wheatley yesterday
receiving the following telegram:
Hoboken. n j., July, 16. 1908
Mr.. Crawford Wheatley, Pres. Car
negie Library Association,
Americus, Ga.
Plans approved, if cost comes within
amount promised.
R. A. FRANKS
The signer is head of the Home
Trust Company, where the $4,000
brary building at Americus has been
deposited.
Assurances of a similar tenor had
been received by Mr.. Wheatley a few
days ago but the plans had not been
formally approved. The telegram
quoted above confirms the plans, and
leaves the money without. a string of
any kind tied to it, except the usual
work progresses.
Immediately on receipt of the mes
sage Mr. Wheatley telegraphed to
Messrs. Little & Phillips, at Cordele,
that the final kinks had been straight
ened outs and that it was time to get
very busy.
1t is expected that a member of
the contracting firm will arrive today,
and the building preparations here
will go actively forward at once.
1t is expected that local contractors
will get sections of the work, such as
laying OF stone and brick, and doing
the plumbing But that depends on
the bids as compared with other con-
testants. One brick dealer is going
to bid to furnish this part of the ma
terial
No time limit has been set for the
completion of the work, but it is like
ly that March l or April l. will be
fixed.

RAILROADS JOIN
WITH EMPLOYEES
To Head Off Further Hos
tile Legislation.

Chicago, H., Sept. 16-Railroad
officials and their employees have
Joined in a movement to counteract
the effect of legislation hostile to the
railroads.
At a meeting held in the Railway
Exchange Building yesterday after
noon, which was attended by the
presidents of dozen railroads and
by the chiefs of the four railroad
brotherhoods, the American Railroad
Employees and Investors Association
was formed.
1t was declared that the prosperity
of the railroads was a question of vi
tai interest to the employees and that
the new association would take all
lawful steps to encourage a friendly
feeling between the railroads and
The public.
AT the close of the conference after
the new association had been orr
ganized the purposes of it were
announced as follows
Its purposes shall be, b all law
full methods, to cultivate and main
tain between it's members such
spirit of mutual interest and such
concern on the part of all of them
for the welfare and prosperity OF all
American railroads, as will best
promote their successful and pro-
fitable operation, for the benefit alike
of their employees, investors and the
public.
ITO encourage, by every proper me-
thod cordial and friendly feelings on
the part of the public toward Am
erican railroads and their business.
ITO publicly provide means and
methods for obtaining consideration
and hearing from all legislative bod
les and commissions empowered to
enact laws. rules and regulations af-
fecting the conduct and operation OF
railroads.
ITO do whatever lawful things may
he necessary in order to secure fair
return alike to capital and labor
interested in American railroads, with
due regard at all times to efficient
service, fair treatment and safety
to the public.
This association shall at no time
be used for partisan political pur-
poses, nor shall it take any part IN
controversies, if any, which may
arise between railroad employees and
railroad officials"
Concerns Freight Rates
That the meeting yesterday had
TO do to some extent with the pro-
posed raise in freight rates was
admitted by some Of those Whopartl-
cipated. The necessity for increasing
rates was pointed out in the hgures
showing the added expense to the
railroads in the past year because o.
legislation, state and national.
A circular prepared by SlasoL
I>Thompson, taken from the actua
statements of number OF ROADS
Shows that the additional expense II
the accounting and operating de-
partments, due to legislation, amounts
! to $S5 a mile, or $l9,5O0,OOO for the
entire mileage in the country.

LOOK TO THE BREWERS
TO HELP IN DISTRESS
Some AmeriCuS Near Deal
erS Take View.

Up to the good hour of dark yes
terday the number of near" beer
singers in Americus who had paid to
Judge John A Cobb the state tax
of 5000 demanded by law could have
been counted upon the left hand
fingers of an armless man.
And indications point to an elon-
gated continuance of this condition
of supreme Indifference.
While no time has been fixed for
the issuing of executions against the
non-paying dealers, as provided by
law the sheriff may begin his rounds
at an early date.
. The new state law requiring the
payment OF a special license tax to
sell near either at wholesale or
per slosh, became effective on Sept
ember 5th, ten days ago, and caught
unaware the dealer who. otherwise
might have side-stepped it.
Practically all local deaers were
busy on that date, though one agent
remembered suddenly yesterday that
he had solicited no business since
the first of the month
Maybe he has not, and then maybe
he has
But at all events many others nave
Besides the near" dealers in Ameri-
Gus. there are others in country
stores as we'll as in the smaller towns
OF the county.
One local nearer" stated yester-
day that the profession would look
to the big breweries to come to the
rescue and shoulder the fight in op-
position to the tax either upon al
legged constitutional grounds or some
other preteXt that will cause delay
In Atlanta next Saturday is the
last day of grace for> the near beer
ers" as the ordinary will on that day
issue executions against those who
have not come to the throne room.
