MRS. HARTMAN TO ASK
LISTING OF ESTATE
Property of Railway King
Appraised.

New York, Sept. 18.-Mrs Edward
H. Hartman, who, by the terms OF
her husbands will, becomes the
worlds richest woman, is to ask for
an official appraisal of the financier'e
estate within two weeks. Until this
appraisal is made, nothing definite
will be known as to the amount of
wealth accumulated by Hartman.
In Wall street it is the opinion that
it will be $1OO,OOO,OO0.
Until the death of Mr.. Hartman. Mrs
Frederick G. Penfeld, formerly Miss
Anne Weightman of Philadelphia,
who inherited all of Mr.. Weightman's
$S0,000000, was commonly rated as
the richest woman in the world.
In leaving his entire estate to his
wife, Mr.. Hartman followed the ex-
ample of his father, the Rev. Orlando
Hartman, whose will, dated in 1879,
reads:
with this ring / thee wed and with
all my worldly goods I thee endow.
In the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Ghost Amen.

declaration made at the time of our

RACING WITH CENTRAL TRAIN
TWELVE MILES TO AMERICUS
Automobile Beats Engine With Great
Ease.

From Americus to Smithville the
distance is II miles by the Central
Railway and an equal distance by the
magnificent county road which paral-
lels it the entire distance. And over
this fine highway speedy automobiles
frequently race with passenger trains
between the two towns, and always
with the auto an easy winner. A gen
tleman here oftimes comes up from
South Georgia by the early train, No.
II, and has his automobile meet him
at Smithville. He then starts even
with the train on the II mile run to
Americus, and is waiting at the pas
senger depot here, always, when the
train comes in behind him.

LIMITS OF AMERICUS IS
SOMEWHAT IN DOUBT
Is MuCkaiee Greek Western
Boundary?

Where is the western boundary of
the city of Americus? Is it the Muck
alec creek, or does it extend a quar-
ter of mile beyond that, to the top
OF the hill on the Smithville road ?
That is the question that many citi-
zens would like to have decided.
And it is not improbable that the
city attorney will soon be at work
searching out the laws to discover ex-
actly what the truth is about that
portion of the municipalities bounds.
Originally he western boundary
was undoubtedly Muckalee creek. 1t
was so stated specifically in the act
of legislation setting forth the limits
of the city.
Since then there has been several
changes made by legislation, it is
stated, and it will take some research
to determine whether these changes
really affected the status of the city
en- its west ide or not.
One thing is certain, the city has
got limit post put up quarter mile
west of the creek. But this may have
been put there enormously.
There is apparently no reason why
the city should ever have gone across
the creek and taken in quarter of
mile of farming and waste territory
over there.
There is nothing to tax over there
worth speaking of. There is no pros
poets of any city development there,
and there is certainly even less chance
of the city ever spending any money
there for city improvements.
All that territory really ought to
belong to the county Some lawyers
believe it really does belong to the
county, and that it will so be found
on investigation.
At the next meeting of the City
Council committee may appear be-
fore that body and urge that some
steps be taken to determine the ques-
ton.
This will probably lead to it's be-
ing referred to City Attorney Shep-
pard for thorough investigation.
If he reports that the city really
ends at Muckalee creek, the city will
withdraw its post and the territory
west of the creek will at once be
turned over to the county for taxa
ton.
If it should prove that the city's
boundary is really quarter mile be-
yond the stream it is not improbable
that at the next session of the legisla-
ture bill may be introduced to draw
in the limits
There appears to be no earthly rea-
son why the city should cross over
the creek and go quarter mile out
into the country.

Excellent Rule Is Adopted at Opera

Manager Willis Morgan will have
the hearty endorsement of the thea

alton to protect patrons against the
annoyance occasioned by late COM

they may attract attention.
Eight thirty is an hour sufficiently
late to insure the arrival at the the
atre of all who come to see the play,
rather than to be seen.
Manager Morgan will see to it that
from this date the front doors will be
closed after the curtain ascends upon
the first act, and will so remain until
it ends.
The Cumlait family, who really care
nothing for the play, will thus remain
in the lobby or possibly within the
portals, until the act then on is con-
cluded But they will not be seated
during the act, to the great annoy

tions at the theatre attention is called
to the oftimes boisterous conduct of
the gallery. In the presentation of
"The Wolf on Thursday evening no
little annoyance was caused to those
in the parquette by the disorders on

lice should attend to them.
