$4,000 WANTED
FOR DEATH Of
R. |. MELDRIM
Big Suits Filed Against the
S. IL. Railway.
Claimed Rotten Ties Caused Wreck
in Which the AmeriCuS Engineer
Was SCalded to Death---Sult TO Be
HearF In Savannah City Court.

Mrs Johnnie E. Meldrim, it is un-
derstood, has filed suit in the City
court of Savannah against the Sea-
board railway and the company's ibene-
fit association in the sum of $4,000
for the death of Engineer Robert Lee
Meldrim, who was fatally injured on
the lSeaboard near the Georgia-Ala-
bama line Last August 1t is alleged
that tie wreck was due to a defective
switch, rotten crossties and unspik-
ed rails. The petition recites the fact
that the engineer was running his
train at moderate speed when the ac-
cident occurred Mr.. and Mrs. Mel>
1r4m were residents of Americus at
the time of his tragic death in Au-
gust last, and the legal proceedings
THUS instituted in the Savannah courts
will be of interest to their many
friends in this city.
The suits, one for $4,000, and the
other for $4,000, are filed by Mrs. john
ME Meldrim, temporary administrator
of the estate of r. L. Meldrim.
The first suit recites the death of
Engineer Meldrim and alleged causes,
as stated above.
In the second suit the insurance
association is sued because of a dis
agreement regarding the beneficiary
The petition a.leSNs tIht the de-
fendant has admitted the liability Of
the fun amount of the policies, but
refuses TO pay the money to the ad-
ministrator. The same attorneys filed
the second suit.

GROWING wheat
IN SUMTER
COUNTY
Farmers Give Experience In
Wheat Raising.
twenty-five Bushels Per Acre Is the
Average On Wise FaFm---DiScuS.
sion Here On Wheat Culture Proved
Highly Interesting for All.

One Of the most interesting discus
sions at the corn show ON SATURDAY.
was that on wleat growing in Sum
ter county. While thirteen bushels O
wheat per acre is the average in the
United States, it was developed tha
the few farmers of Sumter who are
growing wheat are making an average
OF twenty-five bushels per acre OF
enough wheat to make five barrels o.
Hour. This is am average of $35 Del
acre, or more than is realized from
growing either corn or oats.
1t explodes the theory that more
than enough corn or oats can b
grown per acre than is necessary e
pay for the -four that can be grown
from an acre. Another argument
made in favor of its growth was thai
any crop that the farmer can grow
that will help him to keep from coins
down into his pocket to get it is 2
paying crop.
Among those who gave their experi.
ences in wheat growing, Mr.. ]. C. Wise
OF Plains, who is a young and pro
gressive farmer, stated that he had
'een growing wheat for several year.
and that his general average was
about twenty-five bushels per acre
Ttls year he stated that on
two and half acres with only 2OC
pounds Of nitrate of soda that he gath
cred 70 bushels. Mr.. ]. M. Buchanan
$ho lives out on Rural Route No
., from Americus, stated also that lie
had been growing wheat several years
and that his average was about 20 to
20 bushels per acre Others testified
to about the same thing.
The question was asked of those
who have been growing wheat if they
were ever bothered with rust. They
all replied that they were not. In re-
ply to question as to whether or not
they used any treatment to prevent
rust or smut, the reply was that they
always soaked tEeir seed in bluestone
water before planting.
One of the reasons for not growing
wheat is that there is no mill for
grinding 1T in the county, the nearest
mill being at Fort Valley Many of
the farmers present stated that they
would grow wheat if there were a mill
in the county SOME entarprising
man might do we'll to look into the
matter of establishing a flour mill in
the county, as it would be means of
aiding progress in agriculture and
would prove a lucrative investment.
lit is hoped that wheat growing may
become the rule in the county, and
not the exception, and that there may
be established a flour mill also.

ICITY COUNCIL
COULD NOT
TAKE ACTION
Could Not Go Behind Regis.
tPatiOn List.
Specia Meeting Called Last Night to
Consider Reports Of Irregularities
in the Registration LiSt---CIty At.
tOTney'S Opinion.

Council last night discussed for II
hour charges OF irregularities in the
registration list that is to be used i'll
today'S election and then, under the
opinion of the city attorney, decided
that there was nothing it could do
there being no specific charges O
wrong doing made against the regis.
trar, and nothing Of definite nature
on which council could proceed.
The city attorney hald that counci
had no right in Itself to purge the
list, that the registrar was a sworr
officer, charged with the duty of pre-.
pairing the list, tEat the list as certi.
| fed to by him was final, and that the
only recourse in the event of any l.
legalities was to contest the electior
after it is held, to proceed against the
registrar for violation of his oath, OIL
to prosecute voters who might vote
Illegally
The meeting grew out of rumors ana
assertions tLat some thirty to forty
names had been added to the registra-
ton list after the time limit set il
the official advertisement, 5 o'cloch
last Thursday afternoon. Citizens
have been discussing the charge ana
finally a special meeting of council
was requested to look into the mat
ter.
All of the aldermen Were present
except Alderman Allen. No specific
charge, giving names of parties said
to be improperly registered, We're
made, the statements being generally
to the effect that the names cf a num-
Der of parties who are said to have pat
IN written applications for registra-
from we're not entered on the books
until yesterday, four dal.s after the
time limit set in the official act, calling
for the election. No charge was made
than any applications in writing were
received after 5 p. m. Thursday, and
the issued revolVed around the legal
ity of the registrars placing names
on the list after THE time limit, even
though the written applications for
registration were in his hands before
that time.
Aldermen Clarke, Hawkins and
Poole We're decidedly of the convic>
tion that after the registration do 1iz
closed, at 5 p. m. Thursday last, no
more names should lave been entered
on it by the registrar, even though
written applications to be registered
were handed in to him prior to that
time.
Under the charter of the City OF
Americus, as under the call for the
bond election, each citizen lad the
right of either calling in person or
making a written request to the regis
trar to register him.
The aldermen in question insiste /
that to enter names after the closing
of the time limit set in the call for
the election was to open the way for
irregularities, was unjust to citizens
generally, and that it permitted of an
opening for legal dispute after the
election is held
The discussion was quite animated
along this line, the aldermen opposed
to the course of the registrar feeling
