BROKE BOTH LIMBS IN
LEAP OFF SCAFFOLD
Painter Is Ba,IIy Injured
Yesterday

Mr.. Tracey Howard, young painter
and decorator employed upon the work
at F'urlow School building, had both
limbs broken and probably sustained
internal injuries as we'll in an accident
occurring there shortly after noon yes
terday.
In a wild leap to save himself from
threatened disaster, he fell, or rather
jumped, from a second floor window,
a distance of probably thirty feet
Both legs were broken just above
the ankle, and other injuries sustain
ed as well.
Mr.. Howard was standing upon a
small platform projecting from a win
dow sill, engaged at work. Suddenly
he felt the platform sink slightly and
believing, perhaps, that it was falling,
he made a leap for the yard below
The platform did not fall, at all,
having moved but slightly from it's
fastening.
Mr.. Howard was conveyed at once
to the house of Mr.. D. A Pettis, with
whom he resides, where Doctors
Prather, Chambliss and Mayes attend
ed him. He complained of interior
pains and such injury may develop
later. Both bones in each limb were
broken.
The unfortunate young man resides
in Atlanta, where he is we'll connected

SALE OF THE WINDSOR
SAID TO BE PENDING
Property to Be Disposed
of Shortly.

If current rumor is to be relied
upon a prospective purchaser for the
Hotel Windsor property has been
found, and a sale of that magnificent
hostelry may soon be effected. 1t is
not definitely known who the prospec-
tive buyer is, but it is said that a
wealthy south Georgian, and also a
New Yorker with little spare change,
are interested in the reported deal.
The sale of the hotel has been author
lied by Judge z. A. Littlejohn, of the
superior court, the minimum price
being fixed at 100000. Of this amount
$1,000 will go as commissions to the
realty agent or other parsonage eff
fecting the sale, thus netting the
stockholders $4,000 The indebted
ness upon the property is considerably
less than $50,000 it is thought, so
that in the event of sale the stock
holders will have a snug sum remain
ing for division among themselves.
The Hotel Windsor cost, originally,
about $135, 900, and is one of the finest
properties in Georgia, yielding with
the dozen stores connected Herewith,
a handsome annual rental.

GOOD ROADS PRIDE
OF THIS COUNTY
Sumter's Fine Highways
Are Models
County Keeping Step in
March of Progress
in Georgia

Sumter stands in the front rank of
the banner counties of Georgia in the
matter of road Improvement and the
magnificent results attained already
is matter of pride to every citizen
Not only is the county crossed by
splendid highways, thus facilitating
travel and the marketing of the crops,
but values have enhanced enormously
as the result of good roads.
Six years ago Sumter county estab-
lished her chaingang system and be-
gan the substantial improvement of
roads; already fairly good The ork
has been pushed forward with greater
zeal each succeeding year.
Within the past month several fami-
lies from South Carolina have settled
near Americus, in every instance buy
ing lands trayersed by good roads,
even paying higher prices therefor
From Flint river, on the eastern
boundary of Sumter, to the Webster
county line, is 80 miles; and three or
four smooth highways traverse the
county from east to west From An
dersonville, on the north, to Smith
Vile, Lee county, on the south, the
distance of "A miles across the county,
is marked by highways the equal of
many city streets, and over which
automobiles frequently speed 60 miles
an hour.
Over these roads farmers with four
mule teams haul eight to ten bales of
cotton at a load to Americus, where
as, before the days of good roads it
was task for six mules to pull seven
bales at a load, requiring a day for
the round trip.
One of the finest stretches of high
way in Sumter is the Smithville road,
from Americus, - miles in length On
this single stretch 100 convicts have
been employed for nearly two months,
and magnificent road is the result.
Hills were cut down, valleys filled in.
and the smooth road perfectly level
and as firm as can be made, is the re-
suit. This road cost Sumter county
many thousand dollars, but the invest
ment is well worth the cost and more.
The superintendent of roads here is
Captain r. 7. Christian, an expert
enced road builder, and for years en-
gagged in railway construction. He
adheres to uniform width of 80 feet
and no obstacle deters him.
At present the county has a work
ing force of 100 convicts; about 25
felony convicts from the state camps,
and the other misdemeanors, sent up
from the courts here. 1t also has 100
fine mules, besides the most modern
road working machinery, Flows, etc.
The camps are so arranged that they
can be rapidly moved within an hours
notice, cages on wheels being used
for conveying convicts.
The people of Sumter are delighted
with the results attained by good
roads. Land values have increased
enormously, and in many portions of
the county will sell readily for SIS
to $50 per acre, according to location
Real estate dealers have demands now
from people in neighboring states who
desire to buy farms and locate here
because of the many inducements Of
fered
The county commissioners of Sum
ter will order an election for a fall
date, at which the voters will vote
upon the matter of a bond issue of
100000, the entire amount to be de-
voted to road improvement.

TEAMS FAIL TO SCORE

Nauguht to Naught In the
Ninth
Americus and Mountain
Boys Play Strenu-
Gus Game

! In what was probably the most
nearly technically correct game of
the season, the Champs tied with the
Cedartown visitors yesterday after
noon, neither side being able to score
in nine innings. But thTee erors were
made in the game, these by the visit
ors, while one of these, in the opin-
ion of some of the local fans, should
have been scored hit instead of an
error.
Landrum did the slab work for the
visitors, and with the play just re-
ferred to scored as an error, which
| in the opinion of the writer should be,
he pitched no-hit game, which is
pitching some" against the Champs
This is more than any other pitcher
has done this season. Reynolds, an
old Sally Lacquer, did the receiving
act for the visitors and allowed but
one stolen base, and that to the great
est purloiner of bags on the Champs
lineup, Peddy.
Ansley did the sharp-shooting for
| the Champs, and was much improved
in form over his last appearance in
the box; in fact, was in his usual
form, which is pitching some" "Oh-
YOU Tommy" Hooks was behind the
bat, and he also allowed but one
stolen base and that to Reynolds.
hOb
Peddy on short, a man must put up a
good article of Marathon running to
get away with that second bag.
The brightest feature of the game
was the spectacular catch of Doc"
Wilson in center garden, robbing
Reynolds of probably two-bagger
This closely rivalled the phenomenal
catch of McGregor in Albany which
the sporting editor inadvertently
overlooked in the write-up et. the
game
This catch stands in a class by it.
self. McGregor6 playing in right gar
den, pretty well toward center, made
running catch of about a hundred
feet reaching up at arms length and
pulling in the fly with two fingers. 1t
is needless to say that pandemonium
was turned loose. Atlanta's fans as
we'll as the Americus crowd cheered
the play.
1t is understood that Perryman will

brother, who is pitching for Cedar
town, as his opponent.

BROTHER is AGAINST BROTHER
In Battle of The Diamond Here for
Game Today.

Baseball, like war, develops many
strange phases wherein brothers meet
in battle line and Americus will have
when Perryman, of the Champs pitch
ing staff, goes up against his younger
brother, one of the star twirlers for
the Cedartown club. The two brothers
have never before thus confronted
each other, and no matter which team
wins the game Pitcher Perryman"
will have contributed to the success of
the victory. 1t will be a fine game
that today-and a host of fans will
witness it.

CATERPILLARs IN COTTON HERE.
Dreaded Pests Are Found in Fields

Caterpillars, that dreaded foe to

of that locality. 1t was said here
