WILL INVITE MEN OF
AFFAIRS TO MELT HIM
And Discuss Knitting Mill
Project.

An important meeting will be held
tomorrow night, :. ably at some
private office, of a Humber of lead
ing men of affairs of the city, re-
quested to meet manufacturer who
has a proposition to lay before them
for the establishment of "a hosiery
mill in Americus.
This is the project that President
John w. Shiver, of the Board of Trade,
paid the visit to Columbus about.
While in Columbus Mr.. Shiver met
the main party interested, had a
long conference with him, then saw
the parties mentioned as references
and established the correctness of
the statements made by him.
The project is one that it is deem
ed advisable to first place before a
number of the moneyed men of the
city, the men who have the ability to
take hold of it if they desire and
put IL on an immediate foundation
where success is assured.
Today President Shiver, of the
Board of Trade, will personally call
upon number of citizens of promi-
nence in a financial and business
way and invite them to meeting to-
morrow night to meet the Columbus
man, hear his statement and go into
an analysis of the proposition that ne
will submit.
1t is hoped that all of those invited
will respond The meeting is to be
purely one for conference with the
Columbus party, to get clear state-
ment from him to those assembled
as to what he has to offer. The Co.
lumbus man himself becomes a large
investor in the project.

Guns to the End.

Lyons, Ca, April 1S-Two dead
one dying and probably one or two
others slightly wounded are the re-
suits of Sunday afternoon battle in
an inter-family fued of long standing
which took place late this afternoon
in Emanuel county just at the line of
Toombs county.
The dead are A S. Collins, road

progress of the fight.
Alma LEXIS Is h2aly wounded and
he is expected to die at any mo-
ment.
Dispute Over Road Crossing.
The battle was between the Col
Inns and the family of Lewis, and
was the outcome of a dispute over a
public road crossing. The two fam
lies reside less than mile apart and
the county line runs between their
homes.
Fathers and sons met in a lane neal
the Lewis home.
Just how the battle started is not
known. The members of the Collins
family were armed with pistils while
two shot guns were used on the other
side.
A number of persons watched the
battle which was fought in the open.

Joseph Lewis, father of Alma
Lewis, is alleged to have fired the
shot that ended the life of the elder
Collins. Tonight, however, he would
make no statement. The sheriffs of
both Toombs and Emanuel counties
have gone to the scene of the trouble
with physicians.
