WILL BURN DOWN THE
HOUSE OE BLOOD.
BuIIet-RiddIed DWELLING to
Be Destroyed.
Especial to Tlmes-Recorder.)

Ocilla, Ga, June EFF the desires
of friends and relatives of Mrs Nails
sa Bostwick, whose husband came to
an end after dealing death to three
persons and fatal wounds to several
others, are followed, all that remain
of Bostwick's earthly belongings may
soon be piled up in the house former
ly occupied by him and his wife and
the whole destroyed by fire.
This was suggested after hundreds
visited the scene of the battles be-
tween the barricaded man and troops
and citizens of Irwin county.
Brothers of tie dead slayer settled
the question of his burial when they
requested the county officials to send
the body to Hahira for interment
This was done late Tuesday.
In looking over the household goods
to determine just what there was
worth saving i'll case fire should be re-
sorted TO as means of destroying al
evidence of Irwin county's blackest
Sunday, friends interested were able
to find little if anything untouched by
bullets.
The most damage was done from bu
lets fired in front of the house, but the
cross fire, mostly from the Albany
troops, wrought havoc also. Bullets
ruined a sewing machine, piercing in
a dozen places the plate work, and
knocking parts into unmendable bits.
Mirrors hanging in the largest room
and on the back porch were shattered.
A bolt of dress goods in a bottom bl-
reau drawer contained three bullet
holes and in one corner Of the upper
drawer was found one of the steel
bullets fired by the militia. Jars of
preserves in the kitchen pantry were
shattered, as were dishes. Had shots
been directed at every room In the
house, instead OF at the one in when
Bostwick was known to be the ruin
could not have been greater.
1t was because of this and the ri1-
died condition Of the small house that
fire was suggested as the best means
or removing such signs. Mrs. Bast-
wick is opposed to returning to the
house in its present condition and un-
til it is torn down or burned size Will
make her home with nearby relatives
That neighbors will take charge Of
the new home proposition for the
widow is assured, and already the
movement is under way, with Judge j,
B. Clements as a leader. 1t is doubt
ful ii the widows home will be built
on the exact site of the present home,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1910-06-30

1t likewise adds zest and interest
to the political situation locally, as
candidates Lave been slow in an
nouncing thus far, and the entry of
others in the race will dispel the pre-
yailing lethargy.
Mr. Taylor requires no Introduction
to the people of Sumter county, where
all of his life has been spent, and
where he is known of all men. Genial
and popular, man ever interested in
state affairs and in touch with mat
ters political, he would fill ably the
position he seeks
If thus honored by the voters of
Sumter, Mr.. Taylor will ever exert
his best efforts for the general prog
ress and advancement of Sumter
county and of his state.

On Tuesday, July 26, an election

above named on same date in theI
counties Of Schley, Macon and Sumter,

JOHN A. COBB.
Ordinary, Sumter County, Georgia.
6-30-d1t-w4t
Tie ordinaries of Macon and Schley
will both issue similar notices to the
public of those counties.
This is one of the peculiar results
of the fact that the legislation regulat-
ing senatorial elections has never been
changed to meet the c1anged condf-
items brought about by the substitu-
lion CT senatorial dla ricts for the OLD
system under which a county haJ d
senator and not a district.
When the constitution was changed
aud The state divided into senatorial
districts, comprised Of from one to
three or four counties, no change was
made in the methods under which q !
vacancy should be filled. The law sim
ply provided for tive ordering Of the
election by the ordinary of the coun-
ty. With several counties comprising
the senatorial district, it is necessary
for each ordinary to issue a similar
notice. The system could be much
simplitied by change under which
the governor would simply set the
date and issue the order and neces-
sary advertising. Presumably the leg
islature will some day take cogni-
zance Of the fact and pass the neces-
sary legislation.
