STRUNG NEGROES TO
RAILROAD BRIDGE
Marshal BuSh'S MurdererS are
LynChed at MOntezuIna.

Montezuma, Ga, November 8.-rBM
Barnes and another negro, Walker BY
name, were lnnged fro mthe same tree
here at. 10 o'clock last night for the
murder cf Town Marshal Bush here
three weeks ago. The negroes were
carried in.o Flint river swamp near
Montezuma by a crowd of determined
men last night, strung to the same
tree and their. bodies riddled with
bullets
Barnes was captured early Monday
morning near Pei8efsxire. Walker
was already in jail. Barnes, confessed
the murder and implicated tie other
negro.
Night Maraaal Bush was killed
here sT3cgt three weeks ago by Barnes.
The negro was wanted for some trivial
offense, ami when Bu:n attempted his
arrest, he shot. the marshal through
the heart, killing him instantly. Great
excitement prevailed, and all Monte
yuma turned out in search for the ne
gro. who escaped to the swamp i'm
after ld1iing Bush. Efforts
at finding him were unsuccessful untit
yesterday, when the negro, VIM
Jones, made known his whereabouts
after his arrival from
Byron. Barnes asked to be allowed
to eat breakfast, which request was
granted him, and he was waiting for
the meal to be cooked when he was
surprised by Mr.. Brown with a shot
gun in hand, demanding his surrender. |
The crime stirred this entire Sec
lion, and the lynehing of the murderer
Of Mr.. BusA was expected, event
Enough the eeol and older heads tried
20 prevent the lynching. |
Night Marshal Bush was fonmer,la a |
we'll known deputy sheriff of Macon
county. He was we'll known for hia |
bravery and absolute fear'essness. In |
IN ambush planned for him by six |
negroes some years ago he killed sev-
aral of them and wounded and cap
.ured all the rest, using only a six
shooter pistol, and for this act Of |
bravery he was made night marshal of
he city of Montezuma, for which office
le never had any opposition.

MICHIGAN man ON
HUNT FOR FARMS
Many Young Men There
Want to Come Here.

Mr.. Samuel Kidder, a real esiJate
agent OF Ann Arbor, Michigan, spent
part of yesterday in Americus, looking
| into the real estate situation in this
county so far as farm lands are con
cerned, with the view OF securing de-
sirable lands to offer to farmers in lis
section Of the country.
There is decided movement of
young farmers away from Michigan,
said Mr. Kidder, "and there is no rea-
son why a number of them should
not be brought into this highly favor
ed section if the land could on11 be
obtained for them. Ttey are mainly
progressive young men who want
farms of their own and find it nee
essary to come where lands are more
plentiful and cheaper.
'sIn our section of Mieh8gaa1, con-
tinued the Ann Arbor man, "the farms
are mostly small, 80 to 100 acres, and
as the boys grow up their fathe -
have no land to sub-divide with ttccn
The boys don't want anything smaller
than the farms their fathers operate,
and so they are casting eyes in various
directions for suitable locations. l am
looking about to see where good lands,
with good environments can be secur-
ed, to offer to them.
''If a number of small farms were
available here, farms of 100 to 200
acres continued tLe Michigan pros
pector, II don't think there wclli be
any trouble in bringing a high-grade
lot of settlers here to occupy them.
Our lands are bringing $50 to $3.50 an
acre, and your lands are much lower
in price, while their producing value
understand, IS great This country
looks very good to me, and l wish
it were possible to go back and offer
our young farmers opportunities here
in the shape OF small places
Mr.. Kidder carried away some Board
of Trade pamphlets with him and will
send lists of names of young farmers
in his section Of Michigan to whom
the Board of Trade literature about
Sumter county will be sent. While
here he was shown around to some ex-
tent by Mr. Duke Crockett

The PROPOSED bond issue for muni-
cipal improvements sustained signal
defeat at the polls yesterday, everg
feature of the issue failing to receive
tie required vote. This inciuded the
sewerage bonds, the lighting plant
bonds, and the proposed issue for wa
terworiks Improvement.
OF the total registration of 582 votes
onfy 433 votes We're cast in the bond
election yesterday.
For the bonds to have carried by
the required tWo-thirds registered vote
as prescribed by law, it was necessary
to lave 3S5 votes favorable to bonds.
This number were not polled, and the
whole bond proposition went by the
board, and was thus overwhelmed in
defeat.
General apathy upon the part of
voters-150 citizens having failed to
vote-and the fight made upon the
municipal ligiting plant feature, kill
That the bond proposition was thus
turned down is distinct disappoint-
ment to many citizens who favor pro-
gress and municipal advancement.
Without sewerage the growth of Ame>>
icus is hampered in districts where
it is so sorely needed. But no sew
erage now.
But those who stand for civic ad-
vaneement viii not rest under this de-
feat of the bond issue. Another cleo
ton will be called early in the new
year, and there will be no cessation
of honest effort in that direction until
the municipal improvements needed
are provided

Over $50 Acres in Trees.

AS the average number of trees 70
The acre is twenty the figures obtain
ed in this way mean that in this
district there are now over $50 acres
planted in pecans, of which 800 acres
are in Sumter county.
In this county the principal pecan
orchard is that of Mr. H. j. Webb who
has 3,130 trees on his pace at sum
ter City. In Webster county the prin,
cipal plantation is that Of Dir. N. G.
Alston, with 1900 trees, while in Lee
county Mr.. r. S. Pryor has 1926 trees
and the Southern Pecan and Develop
ment Company has 2,1O0 trees.
If it were possible to obtain the
stock to plant this winter would see
fully 10000 more trees set out in thA
AmericuS district In Sumter county
alone not less than 5000 trees would
be planted if they could be had Tae
chief trouble now is to get good stock
for orchards. At the rate pecan grow
Ing is developing in this county there
will be within the next five years full
ly 10000 to 10000 trees in orchards
here, while in the Americus district
of five counties, as above, there is
reason to believe there Will be, within
that time, not less than $4,000 trees.
In Sumter, Lee and Webster counties
the planting of pecans has taken
considerable hold on the minds of land
owners and a number of them are ex-
pected to put out trees varying in
number from a hundred TO a thous-
and.

Convention Was a Success.

Mr.. Smithwick reports the Montl-
Gel gathering a great success. Over
250 men, interested in various ways
in nut-growing. were in attendance
The invitation Of the Americus Board
Of Trade was referred, as were those
from other cities, to a special commit
tee, which was authorized to select
the meeting place for next year. The
Americus invitation was wei receiv-
ed, but as the Association met in
Albany in 1909 it was felt that some
other state should be honored, and K
is probable that Houston, Texas, will
probably be the next convention city.
Mr.. Smithwick put the convention on
notice that Americus would be on
hand with another invitation next
year.
Great interest was shown in tie
proceedings and the papers presented
were of much value. AS a result cF
the convention the raising of pecans
and other nuts for the market will b
given a further great stimulus in the
South.

When the right kind is selected it is
cut down and then sawed. with a big
two handled crosScut saw, into sections
of the length wanted for the shakes,
which should be about 80 inches long.
These sections are then split into
shakes with the frow.
Great care must be exercised in get
ting the floors and beams level and the
uprights perpendicular. The frame must
be square and plumb. Here, again, the
girls can help the boys great deal
with the level and the plumbline.
After the floor timbers are in place.
the uprightS at each corner are put in
position, and long timbers put across
them from one to the other. Next come
the intermediate uprights and beams.
and after them the rafters. If a better
floor than the bare earth is desired it
can be made by putting a series of
small timbers across from the sides and
mailing large shakes across. While this
will be a rough and uneven floor, 1t will
be dry
After the frame is all up. the shakes
are nailed on and good summer house
is made. Although daylight may show
between the rough shakes, by properly
placing them over one another the roof
may be made quite watertight, SO that
an early rain will do no harm. Shakes
will also do for the doSr.
No stove is needed for such a summer
cabin. The cooking can be done out
doors, over campfire. or in an oven
built of rocks. For beds canvas ham
mocks are good, and pile of fir boughs
with a blanket or some gunny sacks
over them make a comfortable couch
for healthy, vigorous young people.
The only really difficult part OF build
ing such a cabin is cutting down the
big tree for the shakes. This takes
time and Is hard work. but swinging an
axe and handling big crosscut saw are
fine exercises which develop the muscles
admirably. A few days of such work,
followed by the life in the open, with
all it's accomplishments, will do more to
develop health, strength, resourceful-
