There have been several delays in
the completion of the interior of

into it being right up to the speci-

COL. SHEPPARD TO
HELP FIGHT CITY CASE
Will Assist City Attorney in
Supreme Court.

AT the meeting of the city council
last night it was determined to en-
psoy former city attorney Col. j. E.
Sheppard, to assist City Attorney
Lane in representing the city ST
Americus in the Supreme court in
the appeal case of the Americus Rail-
way and Light Company.
The Railway and Light Companv
has appealed from the decision of the
superior court in the famous case
growing out of the Dodson contract
The case comes up in Atlanta On
its hearing next month.
Alderman Allen introduced the res
olution last night calling for the en-
ployment of Col. Sheppard as asso-
ciate city counsel.
This is very important case
said Alderman Allen. "Col. SHEPPARD
is thoroughly acquainted with it in
every detail, having fought the case
successfully in the Superior court II
am not seeking to reflect in anv way
on our present able city ATTORNEY
but he naturally cannot be as famil-
lar with the case as his predecessor.
and as the case comes up in a short
time now it is imperative that the CITY
secure Col. Sheppard to assist its
present legal odvicor"
Mayor Fielder wanted to know what
were to be made as 70 |
the fee. He objected to any offhand
engagements without the fee being
liked in advance
i have talked the matter over with
Col. Sheppard" said Alderman Allen.
and I am satisfied his fees will not
be exhorbitant."
This did not satisfy the mayor. nor
lid it satisfy Aldermen Brown and
Bolton, both of whom thought that
he city should know in advance what
he fee would be.
Alderman Brown was desfrious that
he matter should not be put upon his
Alderman Allen moved
hat the matter of engaging Col.
Sheppard be referred to the commit
zee on water and drainage, with the
power to act.
This was carried. Mayor Fielder
hen entered protest against this
manner of procedure. The finance
he held, was the proper
body to consider such a matter.

ENGINEERS BEGIN A
SURVEY ON FLINT.
To Be One of the Largest
Plants in South.

Mr.. H. S. Marshall in charge of
the corps of engineers and architects
of the D. G. Zeigler Company, ar
rived in Cordele Tuesday to begin
surveying the grounds on the Flint
river near Warwick which is located
about ten miles from Cordele, with
view to building a dam across the
river for one of the largest power
plants in the southern states. The
plant is intended to furnish lights
and electricity for manufacturing
purposes to all of the small towns
within radius of fifty miles of
Cordele. The total expenditure in es-
tablishing this huge enterprise, if it
is carried out, will reach consider
ably above million dollars. The
magnitude and Importance of this
proposed industry is commanding
more attention than any other like en-
terprise in the south.
Large manufacturing plants can be
established in the small towns reach
ed by the power from the plant and
their advantages will be the same in
this respect as if they were located
on the river 1t is the intention of
the promoters, they say, to take over
the power plants now operated in
the towns with view to better SER
vice and cheaper rates. 1t will re-
quire about ten days for the sur
veyors to complete their work and
when this is done the cnotract for
the building of the dam will probably
be let.

Not only is every indication so far

crop, but in every other respect,
agriculturalIy, it is foretold that this

the severity and the continuity of

til now even should warm weather

forward to that period of spring

over the state; the condition is
practically the same in the southern
as in the northern section
Not only is the situation favorable
for fruit, but the freezing weather
has given the ground a mechanical

than could have resulted from any
amount of plowing.
Agriculturalists are expressing the
hope that the cold weather will con-
tinue just little longer now and
they will be ready for real spring
to come and do its worst. Conditions
up to date are all that can be hoped
for, presaging Georgias most pro-
ductive year.

$4,000 IS PRICE PAID
FOR FARM IN SUMTER
Same Lands Cost $4,000
Six Years AGO.

Twelve thousand dollars was the
round price paid by Mr. Charles Hogg
yesterday for small farm of three
hundred acres lying three or four
miles east of Americus. The prop
erty was owned by Mr.. E. L. Bell
and was formerly known as a part
of the Heys plantation.
Forty dollars per acre was the price
paid yesterday.
The farm lies well and is in a
fine state of cultivation, hence the
price paid for it by the new pur-
chaser is not at all high.
But in its sale is reflected the rapid
appreciation in land values in Sum-
ter county.
A few years ago Mr.. Bell paid
$40 per acre for this same farm. or
$4,000. At that time-it was before
the days of good roads in Sumter
county-the price was considered
rather steep, although the invest
ment proved an excellent one for Mi.
Bell in more ways than one.

amount in rentals each year, and
