VERDICT FOR $4,IOO is
~
GIVEN FOR PLAINTIFF
Against q Dawson InSur-
aDCe Company.

In the city court of Americas, Judge
Charles r. Crisp presiding, the jury
in the case of Allen Hill versus the
Southern Life Insurance Company, Of
Dawson, Ga, rendered a verdict yes
terday for the plaintiff, Mr., Hill, for
the sum Of $4,000, the full amount at
issue, together with interest aggre-
eating more than 500. The case has
been on trial here during three days
and was attended Nth considerable
local interest. The defendant COM
pany had insured the life of the plain
tiff's mother, the late Mrs. Pauline
Allen HILL for $4,000, the son being
the beneficiary of said insurance. AT
ter the death of Mrs Hill, shortly after
the insurance was taken, payment Of
the policy was refused by the com
pany for reasons set forth, and suit
was instituted therefore. Mr.. Hill was
granted a verdict for the full claim
instituted An able array of legal
counsel appeared in the case, Messrs.
II. B. Simmons, J. e. Sheppard, and
R. L. Maynard for the plaintiff, and
Messrs. E. A. Hawkins and James Tay-
lor for the insurance company.

WITH MONEY IN POCKET
FIGHTERS GO HOME
AmoriCuS Lost Hundreds in
Cock Fight.

The scores of sports and chicken
fighters attending the recent big cocE
fight in the suburbs of Americu3 went
away yesterday and the smoke OF
feathers has once more lifted from
the local field of carnage here, as it
has done oftimes in the past few
years.
From the standpoint of the sport
and fighter it was the largest and
most successful fight pulled off in
Americus, the favorite fighting
ground, recently.
Americus sports, it is stated, were
among the losers in the several
mains fought during the day. The
Hawkinsville bunch brought over the
winning chickens and carried away a
barrel of money.
Probably $50 spectators witnessed
the fights, which were continued
throughout the entire day and until
darkness put an end to the bloody
slaughter OF the many fights pulled
off here at regular intervals, this last
one was declared to have been the
largest
The visiting sportsmen were delight
ed with the cordial reception and
open-handed hospitality extended by
Americus, and all will come again
shortly.

PARIS is WITHOUT
ANY WATER OR GAS
Gay Capital of Paris in
Awful Condition.
Bridges Unsafe, Road
ways Scattered, Busi-
ness Stopped.

Especial to The Times -Recorder.)
Paris, Jan. 27.-This city probably
will be without water by tomorrow
morning. The commissioner of water
has informed the people that it will
be impossible to continue the supply
nevertheless a government statement
at 1920 p. m. says it hopes for a de-
crease of the flood by 5 a. m.
Approaches to the Rue st. Passes
are sinking. Rue st. Honore sewers
exploded tonight, shattering the road
way. The main electric light plant
has stopped running.
Gas is failing. The water has
reached the Madeline church. The
bridge of Iyry has fallen. All places
of business near the Salferine bridge
have been closed, No passing over
bridges is allowed
The river Aise is still rising. The
law courts are flooded.

to RESIGN THE OFFICE
OF SUPT. IN AMERICUS
Manager |. M. Hawkins
Will Retire
From Position as Mana
ger of Bell Tele-
phone Company.

Manager Luther M. Hawkins, for
three years in charge of the business
of the Southern Bell Telephone COM
pany in Americus, has rendered to the
company his resignation, the same to
become effective February 1, or as
soon thereafter as his successor can
be installed in the office here.
1t is for the purpose of devoting
his entire time to his private inter
ests that induces Manager Hawkins 10
leave the company with which he mas
so long been associated
Since assuming management of the
Americus office the service here has
been the very best since the system
was established twenty-five years ago.
Every courtesy is extended patrons,
and the business or the company in
Americus and Sumter county has
largely increased.
Manager Hawkins, through constant
effort, has made business here the
greatest yet attained.
Recently Mr. Hawkins has taken UP
the sale of automobiles and desires to
look more closely after this, in con-
nection with his farming interests,
hence his resignation as local mana
ger of the Bell company
III short while, it is understood,
the company will re-district this ter
ritory, reducing the number of dis
tricts from % to six. This will re-
lieve the Americus office of much bill
ing and clerical work, which will be
transferred to the office at Albany
1t is not known yet who will sue
ceed Manager Hawkins here, or just
when the proposed change will be
made.

DEPUTIES CHOSEN.
OFFICERS ELECTED,
Convention Closed Up Its
Business Yesterday,

AT the meeting of the Diocesan con
vention yesterday deputies to the tri-
ennial general convention, meeting at
Cincinnati in October next, were elect
ed, as follows:
Clerical-Rev. Charles H. Strong, D.
D., Savannah; Rev. G. S. Whitney, Au-
gusta; Rev, F. A. Brown, Savannah
Rev. c. T. Wright, Albany
Lay-Messrs. Henry c. Cunningham
Savannah; John A. Cobb, Americus
e. s. Elliott, Savannah; George 7.
Cann, Savannah.
Officers of the Diocese for 1910 were
elected as follows:
Secretary-Rev. Samuel J. French
Waycross.
Assistant Secretary-Rev Harry l.
Durrant, Savannah.
Chancellor and Treasurer-Mr. VIM
K. Miller, Augusta.
Registrar-Mr Beirne Gordan, Sa-
vannah.
Standing Committee-Rev. C. r
Wright, Albany; Rev. G. S. Whitney
Augusta; Rev. S. B. Carpenter, Au-
gusta; Messrs. H. c. Cunningham, Sa-
vannah; Dobbin Holmes, Cordele, Ed
ward S. Elliott, Savannah, secretary
? The wee chancellor of the University
of the South addressed the conven-
ton on the relations between the do
ceses of the South and that institu-
ton.
Contributions aggregating $3.50 were
secured for the Saluda Mountain
house. This house, in the mountains
of North Carolina, will afford a place
where missionaries can recuperate.
The bishop was authorized to ap-
point committees on Sunday school
work, on securing subscriptions to the
five million dollar clerical pension
fund that the church in this country
has decided to raise, and the fraternal
delegates to the Atlanta diocese.
The right of the clergy to vote in a
diocesan convention, without having
been canonically resident in the dio-
cese for six months, as required un-
der the canonical law, provoked de-
bate. Rev. Charles H. Strong, of Sa-
vannah, lead the fight to strike out
this limitation on the right of the
priesthood Others of the clergy
joined in his protest against its con-
tinuance, insisting that when the yes
try of a parish had selected rector
and he had met with the approval
of the bishop, that should be sufficient
t oensure the voting privilege regard
less as to the term of his service be-
fore the convention met Messrs
Henry C. Cunningham and Edward s.
Elliott, of Savannah, lead the oppo-
sition among laymen of the change
proposed. Rev. Mr. Whitney, of Au-
gusta, declared that the fight of the
clergy was a just one and that ii
would be maintained until this OBJ
jectionable restriction was revoked.
The resolution to change the canon
relative to the voting rights of the
clergy was lost. The six months res
idence limitation continues.
TO Meet at ThOmasville.
At 10 o'clock last night the conven-
tion adjourned to meet in Thomasville
on May 10, by unanimous vote. This
is a change in the date of the meet
ing.
