BOARD OF TRADE MUST
GET NEW SECRETARY
Mr.. Crockett Resigns His
Position
Probable That Holmes
McGregor Will Sue
ceed Him

The fAmericus Board of Trade is
about to lose its secretary again. Mr.
Crockett who has served so faithfully
and efficiently in that capacity, has
informed the directors that it Is inl
possible for him to continue in the pO-
slion and has requested to be roiiey-
ed of the labor as sog" as convenient
Mr. Crockett has acted as secretary
for over a year. He has given much
time and intelligent thought to the
work, has carried on a ceasele5s cor
'espOGderCe III every direction where
there was rCae On to believe t!a inter
ests Of AmeriCUs and of Sumter cOun-
ty might pc promoted, and the new,
of his retirement will be received with
regret by the entire membership OF
the association.
Mr. Homes MCGregOr is a candidate
for the vacancy. He has been drilled
IN ,he work, in d measure, by See e
tary Crockett md it is und2 stood
t. at number ii the directors favor
his choice for ne office.
The selection of Mr.. CrOckett's sue
{ cessor is vested in the directors. 1t
is probable that nothing Will be done
until after the next regular monthly
meeting of the Board, on MT Tuesday
night.
1t is not probable that Secretary
Crockett can be induced to thdraw
his resignation as he finds the work
interfering with his regular business
affairs. The position pays $50 a
month, but at the beginning of lie
Boards present year it was increased
to $75. Secretary Crockett, though,
| has voluntarily continued to serve at
the old salary of $50, giving to it all
the time he could spare.
The Board is not yet in position to
employ a secretary who will give his
entire time to its work. A competent
man could hardly be had for less than
$1OO and it's income does not justify
such an expenditure.

Stock Well Placed.

The entire amount of the stock has
practically been placed. The $4,000
derived from the stockholders will be
utilized in the construction of the
bungalow, the regular membership
dues and other incidental income be-
ing relied upon to carry the expenses
of the club and continue the work of
improvements.
1t is recognized that the first and
most essential thing is to secure a
club house. Tentative plans have al
ready been prepared for one that will
be pleasing to the eye, furnish ample
facilities and accommodation 49,. for
the club, and make a moy delightful
haven for ffhe members and their
friends.
inside and out the bungalow is to
have rpugh finish, adapting it to the
Surroundings in which it will be placed,
apd>~Telieving it of the monotony that
to so many of the buildings
designed for country clubs. 1t will
have a distinctive appearance, and
every effort will be made to give an
especial characteristic to the grounds
about the building as we'll.
The bugalOw will be but one story,
but quite high, making the interior
cool. A great piazza will run in front
and on the sides. The main porch,
leading to the entrance, will be 20
feet deep and 50 feet long, with a
twelve foot wide porch running the
remainder of the front of the building
and around on each side. A couple
hundred feet length of porch room
will give the members ample out of
door lounging room.

Inside the Club House.

The main lounging hall is entered
from the main porch. This hall is 28
by 35 feet in size, with a large fire
place, with seats on either side. Built
in seats also extend along the front of
the room, by the entrance. To the
right of this hall is the ball room, "A
by 40 feet in size, with a large open
fire place. To the left of the hall are
the billiard room, "a by "a, intended
to accommodate two tables, and a din
ing room, Is by "a feet. A kitchen,
buffet and pantry are to the rear of
the dining room. To the rear of the
ball room are retiring rooms for la
dies and gentlemen. A rear porch
IA IL by IS feet extends between the
toilet rooms and the buffet. Beyond
this is a pergola where the members
can take their ease under their own
vines if not their own fig trees.
The design is regarded as eminently
suited for this climate and to afford
every facility that is required and
ample room for the membership. 1t is
quite probable that between 100 and
200 members will be enrolled. No
definite number has been set for the
membership, nor has the question of
admission fees, monthly dues, etc,
been passed upon.
The Club has secured an option on
one hundred acres of ground out on
Lee street, between the Bahnsen and
Young places, from the Agricultural
college. The lease covers a term of
years, with it is understood the priv
ilege of purchasing. A golf course, it
is stated, can be easily laid out
There is no doubt of the success of
the club now A sufficient number
have already shown their interest in it
to assure the complete carrying out of
its plans. 1t is not improbable that
the automobile club will be merged
into it, although this is merely con-
lecture.

APOPLfXY CAUSES
SHIRT MANS DEATH
Leaves Business Place in Usual
Health and Expires in
Busy Street

John G. Eagleson. prominent in local
business circles for the last 50 years
as a manufacturer. dropped dead on the
sidewalk at Geary and stockton streets
yesterday afternoon while on the way
to have a prescription filled that a
physician had just written for him.
Apoplexy was assigned as the cause of
death and the remains We're removed to
his late home at 2103 California street.
Eagleson had left his place of business
at 63 First street a few hours previ
ously, seemingly in the best of health
and spirits. Later on in the day. while
attending to some business matters
about town, he felt unwell and decided
to consult physician.
EagIeson was born at Cookstown,
County Tyrone, ireland. and was 62
years of age. He came TO San Fran
cisco shortly before he attained his
majority and a few years later en-
barked fnabusiness in Kearny street as
a manufacturer of mems shirts and
underwear. From a modest beginning
Eagleson's business thrived to such
degree that at the time of the dis
aster of 1905 he figured as the largest
exclusive retailer Of mems furnishings
in the country. The product of his
factory was sold by retail stores which
he established here and elsewhere.
He leaves an estate OF about $3.50,
600. His was the first store in Kearny
street 10 be equipped with electric
lights Since the fire he has been at
the head Of the Eagleson Hawkins COM
psny. His previous bufiness ventures
had been under the style OF Eagleson
& Co
EagIeson is survived by two broth
ers. Robert and Frank, who live in
this city and were associated with him
in business; one sister living in Brook
lyn. y. Y; several brothers and sisters
in ireland, and several nephews, three
of whom James E. and Robert Little,
and Robert J. McGahie, reside in San
Francisco. A wife, to whom he had
been married four years previously,
died in 1906. without issue. He was
affiliated with the Scotch-Irish society
and with the Masonic fraternity as a
member of Occidental lodge.
