JOHN GOODWIN is DEAD;
LAST OF BROTHERS
Summons Game Suddenly
TO Him Also.

While at his usual avocatiOn Fri
day morning, at his home near Pei
ham, Mr.. John Goodwin suddenly fell
to the floor and expired, the third
member of this family of three bro
theirs to thus meet death, and all
within brief period.
kilograms announcing the death of
Mr.. Goodwin were sent Immediately to
his sister and other relatives in and
near Americus.
Mr. Goodwin was, until recently, a
resident of Sumter, living near Am
ericus, but some time since removed
to Hartsfield, where he has been en-
gagged in business.
His death, in the manner indicted,
brings to an end the career of three
Goodwin brothers, each of whom fell
dead, and all within the brief period
of seven months. Heart affection, it
is supposed, was the cause of death
of all
Apparently we'll, robust and strong,
they died in a moment, and without
the slightest warning.
Two of the Goodwin boys" as they
were familiarly known among their
hundreds of friends, resided on
beautiful farms four miles from Am
ericus, surrounded by every comfort
and enjoyment of life.
These were Bran and Arnold God
win. Their handsome farms adjoin-
ed, and never were there two more
devoted brothers.
Early on the morning of August
1st, last year, but little more than
seven months ago, both brothers fell
dead within the space of a half hour
the shock produced by the death of
Bran Goodwin proving fatal to his
brother when he viewed the body
Both lay dead upon the same bed,
united in death as they had ever
been united in life
This instance, in itself remarkable,
is rendered more so in the death of
the remaining brother, John God
win, as occurring Friday
John and Arnold Goodwin were
twins, Bran Goodwin being the elder
of the three. Sumter county boasted
no more stearling citizens than the
Goodwin boys" and the death OF the
one remaining brother will cause
sadness among many friends.
Mr.. John Goodwin is survived by
his wife and four children He was
about fifty-five years of age and a
Confederate veteran. His sister, Miss
Tobe Goodwin, and other relatives left
Immediately for Pelham to attend the
funeral
The interment. it is thought, will
take place at Plains today.

Accordingly, at the last meeting,
Mr.. Geo. d. WheatIey rendered his
resignation as a member, and presi-
dent of the board of directors, Col.
G. r. Ellis resigned as secretary and
areasurer, and Mr.. Thornton Wheatley
also resigned his membership as di-
director.
These gentlemen have long been
actively Unidentified with the affairs of
the Hotel Windsor, and to their eff
cient efforts is largely due the sue
cessful management of this valuable
property.
Their retirement as members of
the board of directors is because of
private interests, and the resignation
of each was accepted with express
siOns of much regret by the other
members remaining on the board.
The new officers elected from the
list of stockholders at this meeting
were Mr. Crawford Wheatley, presi-
dent of the board of directors, and Mr.
R. E. McNulty, secretary and treas
urer of the Americus Manufacturing
and Improvement Company.
1t is understood that a report in
full detail of the company's affairs
will be presented at the next annual
meeting of stockholders, called to oc-
cur on the 28th inst, and that some
plan of reorganization will be sug-
gested looking to the further better
ment of the Company's interests.

CITIZENS ARE SLOW TO
REGISTER FOR PRIMARY
Hundreds of Names Not
on List.

Despite the keen interest mani
tested in the primary election for
county officers and members of the
legislature, it is fact that hundreds
of citizens of Americus and of the
county are not registered and, con-
sequently, will not be permitted to
vote unless their names are upon the
list. 1t costs nothing to register, the
only qualification being that you are
resident of Sumter, and your coun-
ty taxes for 1907-last years tax
has been paid. Several voters regis
ter every day at the Office of Tax
Collector |. B. Small, but there are
hundreds of others who have not
yet done so. The registration books
will be closed before the date of the
primary, and all voters should be
registered before April 1st-two weeks
hence. Don't delay, but do it today.

COLLEGE IN AMERICUS
GETS FIRST MONEY
$4,000 for Third District
School.

The Agricultural College in Ameri-
Gus has just received from the State
its first appropriation of $4,000, which
goes for the maintenance of that in
stitution. Checks for $4,000 each
were mailed in Atlanta yesterday for
the seven district colleges now open
to students, this amount being only
a part of the annual sum each school
is to sreceive from the State. The
seven schools are located at States
boro in the First congressional dis
trict at Triton in the Second, at
Americus in the Third, at Monroe in
the Fifth, at Powder Springs in the
Seventh, at Carrollton in the Fourth
and at Madison in the Eighth district
The other four district schools in
the Sixth Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh
districts are not yet open for busi-
ness. but as soon as they are the sum
of $4,000 each will be ready for
them. The money going to the agri-
cultural schools comes from the
sale of tags.

READY TO DTGlN WORK
AT ONCE ON PLANT
To Build the Brick Walls
in Few Days.

Mr.. T. L. Lockwood, who is desig-
ming plans for the new power plant
building, came over from Columbus
yesterday, with the ground plans
for the main structure. These were
submitted to officers of the Americus
Railway and Light Co., and doubtless
met every requirement. Dirt was bro
ken yesterday in the construction of
the power plant, and by the beginning
of another week the massive walls
will be going up rapidly. Carloads
of brick, cement, lime and gravel
have already arrived, and now the
brickmasons will proceed to get busy.
Work upon the new structure, 40 by
115 feet, dimension, will be pushed
as fast as possible and the building
will be ready for the installation of
machinery by the time the first ship
ment of the electrical equipment is
received. Contracts for machinery
for the power plant and street rail-
way provide for the delivery of the
greater portion of it during April, and
the entire plant will be ready for
operation by July 1st.

LITTLE BROWN JUG"
WILL BE HIDDEN
Go. Will Handle
Only When Boxed Up.
Skiddoo for the jug trade"

OhIuuOO lOI tie jug IIdu6.
EffeVtice Sunday the Southern EX-
press Company will refuse to handle
jugs of whiskey Shipments of this
class must be encased in either suit
able cartons or wooden boxes, the
latter for jugs holding more than
one gallon.
AS a reason assigned for the order,
the express company says that the
jugs take up too much room. When
packed in cartons or boxes, they
can be placed one on top of another
up to the ceiling of the express cars.
Under the old system, the jugs took
up so much of the floor space that
they greatly impeded the handling
of other express.
So after today the thirsty
individual will no longer leave the
express office with a jug in hand,
but instead will carry under his
arm or on his shoulder a neat pack
age which might be books or soda
water-except that it isn't
1t is even limited that the Southern
Express Company did not relish the
resemblance of its cars to a travel
ing barroom, and much prefers the
display of a more or less innocent
lot of square packages, the contents
of which might be a matter of specula-
ton, rather than of the assurance
which "the little brown jug i'm
parts.
But whatever the motives, it will
be a package" for which inquiry will
be made in future, instead of a jug
Just what effect, if any, the new or
der will have on the jug trade into
Americus, remains to be seen.

VAUDEVILLE WITH
MOVING PICTURES
Manager Lucas Will Test
the Scheme.

Manager Lucas, of the opera house,
returned yesterday morning from "a
business trip to Macon and Savannah.
AS a result of the trip he has secur-
ed two vaudeville attractions and
promises more If the support accord
ed is sufficient.
These attractions will be run in
connection with the moving pictures
and will be given in the combination
for 10 and 20 cents. The moving pic
lures alone have been running for
just half these figures. 1t is the be-
lief of Manager Lucas that the public
will be pleased with the additions to
the program.
I'VE are going to give some choice
vaudeville said Manager Lucas yes
terday. 1.-TWO weeks have already
been arranged for and other attrac-
tions can be secured. In other cities
the combination of moving pictures
and vaudeville is a winner and l see
no reason why it should not be here.

THIS FRIDAY A HOODOO
in A DOUBLE WAY
Thirteenth and HaOgman' S
Day In One.

The thoughtful Americus man, and
probably the woman as well, felt
relieved when yesterday passed by
and he or she was still alive, and no
untoward casualty or calamity had
occurred. For not only was it Fri
day, but the thirteenth day of the
month as well-a doUbfe-barrelled
hoodoo. Under such circumstances
almost any old thing in the way of
murder. matrimOny, accident or cal
amity might have happened The
thirty-two candidates appreciated the
appalling fact, and each one crossed
his fingers and spit at a mark when
meeting the other job hunter. This
is the second time quite recently
wherein the 18th of the month has
fallen upon Friday, and the almanac
makers should exercise more care and
discretion.

DECLINES TO ENTER IN
RACE FOR CONGRESS
Judge Crisp in NOWiSe a
Candidate.

Judge Charles R. Crisp will not
become a candidate for Congress
from the Third district, and has so
notified those friends who were en-
deavoring to induce him to enter the
race. This announcement was made
by Judge Crisp yesterday.
Despite the opportunities of friends
who pledged him their support, he
has declined to offer for the honor
at this time.
That he would have been strongly
supported by friends in Sumter and
throughout the Third district need
not be said, but after giving the sub
ject serious consideration he has
declined to enter the race.
A letter addressed by Judge Crisp
to Hon. Dudley NJ. Hughes, of Twiggs,
conveyed this information.
Col. Hughes was in Americus two
or three days ago, and at a confer
ence of the friends of Judge Crisp,
it was understood that, in the event
of his candidacy, he would have the
support of Mr.. Hughes. Judge Crisp
asked time for consideration
After thinking the subject over we'll
he has decided not to offer at this
time, and has so advised Mr.. Hughes.
The latter's formal announcement ap-
pears today.
