It is a season of great events. AS the

history because mo less than seven

the festivals of Ak-Sar-Ben attracted
attention because one hundred and
fifty thousand people attend them an

Last year the event of the festival
was the visit of President Taft. This
year It IS the presence of Colonel

No TRUTH IN STORY
OF A HANGING BEE
Murderer of Marshal Bush is
Still a. Large.
Bob Walker Who is Suspected Of
Completely in the AtFOciOuS Mur-

Rumors rife in lAmericus yesterday
morning were to the effect t1Qt the
negro, Bill Brown, alias Ruffln and a
ha,f dozen other names, had heen
captured and his body riddled with
bullets by the outraged citizens OF
Montezuma in avenging the murder of
Marshal Bush.
People in Americas wllo thus tol
the story located the scene OF Brown. !,
capture near Shellman, and even the
number of bullets that his hide he'd.
But unfortunately, the story was
without foundation.
Sheriff Feagin phoned to officers in
Montezuma to know the truth of the
reports current here, and was tcil
that it was a complete fabrication
Nothing is known there of the wlere-
abouts of Brown.
Another negro, Bob Walker, is III
Jail there. and something is liable to
happen to him. Wi.lker is strongly
suspected of having had hand in the
killing. as the evidence secured thp2
far against him, while largely cir
cumstantial, points in tiat direction
now.
His case will be sifted very thof-
oughly,
1t is said that one strong circum-
stance told against Walker was TIE
purchase upon the night of the mu :
der, when he knew Tat posses were in
pursuit, of turpentihe and pepper
with which to throw the dogs off the
trail, with statements made of the
murder
Tie negro, Napier, whose name was
first connected with the killing, has
established a clean record of having
no part therein whatever.

CAN CITY TAX RATE
BE MADE Lower
Fight May Be On in Council
Over This.
Some Aldermen Understood to Favor
Reducing the Rate for Coming
YGdr---ASSeSSOFS Not Through With
Corporations Yet.

There is hardly any chance that
IAmericus will get a lower rate than
the maximum of one and half per
cent. next year, although some of the
aldermen have expressed themselves
in the past as believing that some
thing should be done toward rednc-
ing the expenses of property owners
by reduction in the rate. Alderman
Allen voiced this feeling at a meeting
some time ago, and one or two others
seemed to echo it.
Council will hold a specia meeting
on next Tuesday night when the ques-
ton of the tax rate will be discussed
and settled. Whether Aid. Allen will
lead in a fight for lower tax rate
remains to be seen. The statement
from the Board of Education that it
will need the full proceeds of the
school tax of one-half of one per cen1
the coming year may make it impos-
sible for the city to lower the rate
Heretofore the city while technically
wrong in doing SO, has utilized such
part of the school tax fund as the
Bcali of Education did not need in
meeting regular city operating ex-
penses. With this money removed
from such use next year it will have
to derive the funds from the other
sources of taxes.
The tax assessors have not yet fin
ished their work and it is not possi-
Bile to state what the assessab'e val
ues will be. Clerk Hawkes. advised
council Wednesday night that from
what he had heard the increase would
not be sufficient to affect the tax Sit
uation. The corporation returns are
yet to be handled by the assessors.
1t is rumored that there have been,
or will be, some substantial increases
in the assessments on the corpora-
tions and that a howl is already j.
preparation as a result.
If the conditions permit of it, Il
is regarded as a certainty that Alder
men Allen, Hawkins and perhaps one
or two others. will start a fight in
council for a reduction in tie tax
rate to Las or l 40. While the re-
duction would not be great it would
be a starter, it is pointed out, and
would encourage future councils to
make it still lower.

MAKE REES PARK

Want to Give Children a Place Where
They Can Enjoy Out Door Recrea-
ton UIdef Best Conditions Will

On next Tuesday night, when Cour-
Gil has its special meeting, a commit
tee of two ladies' from the d. A. r..
Mrs. M. NJ. Lawrey and Mrs. James
Taylor, will appear before that body
and make a plea for the conversion %
Rees- Park into a modern playground
for TIE c1.ldren of the city
In al enterrtising. progI essive, uD-
to-date cities, play grounds are nov
provided. The old idea that children
could find plenty of ways OF amase-
ment without recourse to assistance
from their elders has passed away, ami
it is now appreciated that the grown
up folks should take an intelligent in
terest in their sports and amusements,
especially of tie smaller boys ana
girls. To that end parks are equi y
ped with swings, jogging boards, see-
saws, horizontal bars, and other mex
pensive apparatus that afford the
children an opportunity to give vent
to their surplus energies and bui.1
Themselves up physically in tie open
air.
This is the purpose the ladies ha ae
in viaw. They are willing to COOP
crate witI the city fathers in cot-
verting Rees Park into such a play
ground and will present their claims
for their consideration next week A
moderate appropriation, backed by
such assistance as can be secured from
the public, would enable the ladies'
to equip the park sufficiently to stact
is off as a playground and by de.
grees the equipment could be added to
and the playground made an ideal
spot for the cbildren's daily recrea-
tin.
1t is believed the movement viii
have tile enthusiastic support of all
the mothers-and fathers, as well-3f
the city. While it is something de-
cided,V new for Americus it is SIM
ply in keeping with the spirit of the
age and the progressive movements
that are pushing other towns and cit
les to the front as desirable places of
residence.

band will discourse its best music be

making the afternoon a gala occa-
sion.
Picked athletes from the college
will compete in all tie events against
the crack boys of the High School

boys are eager to reflect honor OIL
their Institution. Already the boss

throwing the hammer and otherwise
shaping up things to carry off the
prizes. Out at the High School the
athletes of that institution are ais
getting in trim. The rivalry between
the two institutions in the several

BROWN-TAIL MOTH WAR
ON AGAIN in NEW ENGLAND
Injurious Ravasing Massachusetts, New Hanp
Maine-Adjacent States


New England is again at war. Her
historic hills are ringing with the
sounds of combat, and her verdant
valleys are volleying defiance to a
common enemy. The brown tail moth
is the invader that the farmers and
scientific men of New England are
battling, and although the state of
Massachusetts alone has spent more
than $7,000,000 in the war against
him and his terrible brother, the
Gypsy moth, the human forces have
thus far met nothing but defeat Like
the Gypsy, the brown tail moth works
his havoc in the caterpillar state. Each
mother moth lays about 800 eggs. and
each caterpillar converts several hun
dred leaves into skeletons in the
course of season.
At first the scientists thought the
caterpillar were partial to pear leaves,
but they soon discovered that while
the vermin always asked for second
or third helping of Bartlett buds or
leaves, they would also pass up their
plate for more when on peach, cherry,
oak. maple, elm or any other old tree
except the evergreens. "Aha," cried
the deep-thinking scientists when they
made this discovery, "the brown tail
moth ceterpillars will not harm the
conifers! That at least is a victory"
But the owner of an orchard that is
being rapidly skinned by the industri-
Gus caterpillars may be pardoned if
he does not jubilate over that fact
1t is, of course, consoling to know
that the pesky brutes will not eat
pine cones, but how about the or
chard?
Just at present the brown tail moth
is pretty well spread over Massachus-
etts, New Hampshire and Connecticut
