eral of the other grand lodge officers.

The cornerstone ceremonies will be-
gin at 10:3O in the morning. The pub

BUILDING OF ROADS IS
STILL IN PROGRESS
Extension of System in
Sumter.

The Good Roads of Sumter" is still,
the slogan here, and with good weather
now assured Superintendent Christian
with his force of eighty convicts ia
busy in the extension of the already
fine system here-the best system pos-
sessed by any county in all southern
Georgia
The pride of our own people, the
good roads of Sumter. elicit the praise
of all who ride over them, and, more
than any other agency, are building
up the county.
And with more than one hundred
miles of perfectly smooth boulevards
we will have more of them.
Superintendent Christian has practi-
callS completed the splendid Leslie
Road Of fourteen miles from Ameri-
Gus to Leslie, DeSoto and Cobb, and 1t
is the equal in every respect of the
magnificent "Smithville Road" of
twelve miles and conceded the finest
stretch in the state.
In fact, no street in the city of
Americus near approaches any sec
ton of either of these county roads.
Out on the Leslie road, at point
just below the Barlow Council resi-
dence, the county force is now build
ing a connecting link with the Lee
county road, intersect!ng it near the
residence of Mr.. T. B. Hooks. This
will be an east and west link of per-
haps three miles.
Not only will it be of neat advantage
as part of the county system of good
roads, but affords connecting link in
ten-mile circuit from the city.
A similar link has recently been
completed from the Ceouncil residence
northward to the former BurkhalSer
place, thus connecting two fine roads
and completing another circuit of ten
miles
The fine road northward from Amer
icus to Andersonville and Ellaville is
nearing completion, and within
month it will be ride of only twenty
minutes from Americus to either OF
these towns dozen miles away. For
good roads, In this age, annihilates
distance.

Fight WITH CONVICT IN
EFFORT TO HOLD HIM
Escape" Was Caught By
Guard.
Zebra Put Up Stiff
Fight Until Citizens
Come TO Rescue.

Fighting with the ferocity of wild
beast and impelled to desperation by
knowledge of the certain punishment
awaiting his return to the chaingang
Sam Thompson, who escaped the per
here Thursday night, was overpow-
cred after hard struggle and carried
back there yesterday.
1t required the combined strength
of three men to manage the frantic
zebra and carroll him
Thompson escaped from the stock
ade on Forsyth street early at night
when the guards were watching the
embarrassing of the teams.
All day Friday he lay out in the
woods beyond the Roney place where
a negro farm student" Sylvanus Eli
son, accommodatingly cut the shackles
from Thompson's legs, according to
the story of the convict.
For thus assisting a prisoner tic
escape Ellison was jugged yesterday,
and may draw little term in the pen
for himself if Thompson's story proves
true.
Late Friday night one of the convict
guards, while cruising on Jackson
street, north, saw Thompson step up
on the rear veranda of a residence
He seized the surprised zebra and a
desperate fight resulted, in which the
guard is said to have gotten the heavy
end of it.
Thompson, it is said, was choking
the guard badly when his cries for as
sistance- brought two citizens to the
rescue. Thompson fought like a tiger
to the finish.
He is serving ten-year sentence
and is a bad negro generally. The
shackles cut from his legs in the
Roney woods were found yesterday
buried under a stump. Sylvanus Eli
son denied Thompson's story to the
effect that he cut the shackles from
his limbs with the point of a plow
He will be held for trial at the May
term of Superior court.

Nelson's Only Defeat.

Nelson. like all the greatest COM
handlers on sea or land, made his
mistakes and his failures, but there
is only one instance on record of
his having been actually defeated
in direct attack. This occurred
at Santa Cruz, in the Canary is
lands, Oh July p, 1907. The place
was very strongly fortified, and
Nelson, in the face of fire of fifty
guns from the batteries, attempted
to storm the town by boats. The
attempt was frustrated by the
strength of the mole and the non
appearance of land force which
should have co-operated. A hun
drcd and fifty men were killed and
a hundred wounded on the British
side, and Nelson lost his right arm.
Two flags were also captured, and
these are still kept in the Cathedral
of Santa Cruz.

Why Teakwood Is Durable.

The teak, which has passed into
provcrb as the best material for
shipbuilding, is superior to all other
woods from the fact that it con-
tains an essential oil which pre-
vents spikes and nails driven into
it from rusting. This property is
not possessed by any other wood in
the world and furnishes an cxplana-
ton OF the fact that ships built Of
teak are practically indestructiblc.
Some have been known to last for
$50 years. and when broken up
their beams were as sound as when
first put together.

THE OLD VIOLIN.
A Rapid Change Of Base by the Man
Who Owned IT,

Who Owned II.
Money talks just as loudly in the
realm of music as anywhere else.
The despiscd violin, which merely
is all incumbrancc when it is
thought to be worth not more than
$40, becomes the chief ornament
Of the household when an expert
says it is worth not less than ST.
600. In Chicago there is a business
man who owns violin. He inher-
tied it from his father, who was
musician. The business man docs
not play. One Of his friends is
lover of violin music. That friend
often had told the business man the
violin was good one and that he
ought to treasure it. The business
man regarded the advice as that of
an enthusiast. One day the argu-
ment became SO warm the friend
insisted that the question be settled
at once by carrying the instrument
to professor of music who is ad-
mittedly an authority on violins.
"Why, l wouldn't carry that vio-
lin through the street for any
thing the business man said. "My
friends would think had gone mu-
sic mad in my old age"
"I'll carry it," his friend said
quickly. "l'm not ashamed to car
ry violin anywhere. Come along"
They went. The professor was
at home. The back and the belly,
the neck and the bridge, the tail
piece and the sounding post all
passed beneath his critical eye. "F!
looks all right" the professor said.
From the case he drew the bow and
ran the hair several times across
the cake Of rosin. Then, striking
A Oh nearby piano, he proceeded
to tune the instrument which for
so many years had been held in SO
light esteem by its owner. After
the violin was in tune he tested it,
string by string, chord by chord,
and harmonic by harmonic, in all
positions. Then he began to play.
The fullncss, the richness and
sweetness of the tone appealed even
to the matter of fact business man.
at is genuine old italian in
strument, and Ill give you $1,000
for it," the professor said. The
business man gasped.
''l'll tell you frankly, it is worth
more than that, but that is all
can afford to pay the professor
continued.
Il can't think Of selling it," the
business man replied, with a halt
in his speech. 'You see, it came to
Inc from my father. 1t is an heir
loom. thank you, however, for
the test you have made and the
good opinion You have expressed"
The two men started away from
the home Of the professor, the
business man carrying the violin.
''Lct me take it," his musical
friend said. 'sYou might meet
some ore you know
I'LL carry it," the business man
retorted. 81 don't care how many
friends l meet. And, besides, You
might drop it," Chicago Inter
Ocean.
