REPORTS OF WRECK
 WERE EXAGGERATED

A gross exaggeration," was the char acterization of Alex Bonnyman, general manager of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, in speaking of the re- ports of a wreck on the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic near Talladega yes terday afternoon. MT. Bonnyman said the wreck was a minor one and that it occurred in the yards at Talladega
 "The fireman and engineer jumped from their cabs" said MT. Bonnyman "and were slightly shaken up, but no other persons were injured.
 ''The passenger train ran into an open switch, which threw the train head-on into freight The freight engine was practically unintured, and no serious damage resulted to the other equipment.
 The wreck was very much exaggerated at the first report, and this does us in- calculable harm.'
 MT. Bonnyman left this morning at H:15 for for Atlanta.

GARDEN STILL
 IS IRRATIONAL
ATTENDANTS BELIEVE HE WILL BE ALL RIGHT MENTALLY WHEN HE CAN BE INDUCED TO GET. SOME NATURAL SLEEP

J. L.. Garden, who attempted suicide Tuesday morning at St. Vincent's hos pital, is resting very we'll, according to statements given out at the hospital last night. MT. Garden is still irrational
 He remains perfectly quiet now and does not suffer very much, it was stated but he defes sleep. If he can once be compelled to sleep and rest his brain, it is believed that he will wake up per- fectly rational He is not violent. but is still of the opinion that he wants to kill himself. His conversation seems ra- tional on any other subject but that. He has not been told of his mothers death from the shock the news of his attempted suicide gave her when she re- ceived the message at her home in Ken- lucky.

 F. I. Monks, candidate for mayor, ad- dressed an open-air meeting of the cleo tors at Wylam last night and was given marked attention while he discussed the various blanks in his platform. He said the commission plan of city government was the best if the people exercised their intelligence in electing qualified commis- sioners, but" said he, If it should come to pass that men can buy the office of mayor or commissioner you will find some in Birmingham able and willing to pay the price and then the last condition will be worse than the first

THE POLICE NOT BUSY.
AS BUSINESS is DULL
Arrests During January Are
Very Few.

Unless business in police circles
picks up during the next ten days
that department will make a poor
showing, financially, for the month Of
January, although conditions other
wise reflect very creditably. There
ig little "grist" for the boys in blue
to carry to the judicial mill, the police
court, and it appears now that the
total cash receipts therefrom for the
entire month will not exceed one hun
dred dollars Up to this date not more
than a dozen cases Of drunk or disor-
derly conduct have been developed
during the new year, and of these
probably not more than half were for
fancy iags or plain unfrilled drunks.
The police have found upon prison
ers a few bottles of blockade booze,
the kind that kills at long range, but
most of the very few drunks were
run on low gear. The fact that less
than a dozen arrests have been made
within three weeks, in a city of 10000
population, reflects creditably the
moral conditions of Americus.

Starting out from Americus, the

Heights north, by way of the two Par
ker mills. The distance to the SchIey
county line is seven or eight miles.
And Sumter's striped army will
cover the work rapidly.
Over on the Schley county side an
other force is hard at work in road
building, and have already completed
about four miles between EllavilIe and
the county line. Schley's citizens are
enthusiastic over the proposition, and
many Of the farmers are lending
teams and labor in the work.
The combined forces will soon have
completed a splendid highway from
Americas to Dllaville, with Anderson
vile in close touch.

". P. JONfRS is DEAD
At HOME IN WEBSTER.
Citizen Well Known Passes
Away There.

Mr.. William Pinkney lowers, one Of
the oldest and best known residents
Of Webster county, died at o'clock
Friday morning at his plantation home
near Preston. where he had lived for
probably half century Owing to
long continued illness, the end of his
useful career was not unexpected
The announcements of his death wos
learned with regret in Americus,
where he was well known in business
circles for many years past.
For several months he had been
closely confined to his home by the
malady which eventually proved fatal.
His only near relative, a daughter,
Mrs. King Stillman of Atlanta, has
recently resided at the family home.
MIR. lowers was q very extensive and
successful planter, and thereby had
accumulated a large fortune. A man
of integrity and honesty. he was es-
teemed among his neighbOrs and

COUNTY WILL AID
THE HOSPITAL
City Has ApprOpriatedS5OO
for This Year.
Commissioners viii Be
Asked to Give Same
Sum.

When the County Commissioners
hold their next regular monthly meet
ing a large delegation of ladies from
the Americas Hospital, supported by
Aldermen Allen, Clark and Brown oas
committee from the City Council
will appear before the Board with q
request that it make donation tc
the Americus hospital of $500 for the
year 1910.
While, of course, no one has any
authority to speak in advance of the
action of the County Commissioners as
to what that body will do, there is
every reason to believe the desired APP
preparation will be made and the hos
pitaI put into excellent shape for the
current year.
Two weeks ago the ladies appeared
before the Board of Trade and that or
ganization donated $10O At the last
meeting of the City Council they pre-
sented their plea to that body and an
appropriation of $500 was the result.
If the County Commissioners make the
appropriation that will be requested of
them, $500, the managers of the fns.i-
tuition will have $1,100 toward the So
500 that is required to properly oper-
ate the hospital. The remainder Of
that amount, $4,000, will be secured
from pay patients and from the efforts
of the ladies in bazars and other mon
ey making plans.
There is no public work that has 80
enlisted the sympathy and support of
the women of Americus as the hos
pitai. From the time it was trans
ferred to their charge they have been
indefatigable in their efforts to sus-
tain it properly. to maintain it at a
high degree of efficiency, and to i'm
prove it in every way possible In
deed, it is probably no exaggeration to
say that had it not been for the women
the hospital today would not be in ex-
fstence. With them it has been a work
Of love, and with such a power domi-
mating them and directing their la
bors there could be but one result the
continuance of the hospital in it's great
mission of relief and the expansion of
its usefulness.
During the four years thegsa@pital
has been in operations 5.ss3Ts accomc-
dated 2l3 patieptgsssaz zssffing last year
there were-S Sfents, of whom forty
were 54jatients and eighteen free
patients. In the case of the latter
there was no distinction as to the care
or the treatment accorded In some
hospitals there is a very sharp distinc-
ton, but not so in the Americus Hos
pital. The medicines, the care, the
diet, everything has been exactly the
same for those who were received and
treated without cost as for those who
paid the maximum amount of SIS a
week. IN some instances $50 or $40
was expended for drugs alone in the
treatment of a patient unable to pay
for such things. The hospital is a
Christian charity in the highest sense
of the term, knowing no distinction and
actuated solely by the desire to relieve
those who are i'll, to succor the unfor-
tunate.

a workingman who makes good wages

This family Of four is about to
whack the beef trust and the cold stor-

No meat, lard or meat gravy has any

And the same is true in thousands OF
