THIS COUPLE SPLIT

Which Was Greater, Boone
or Jefferson?

st Louis. December 26.-John T.
Boone, Jr, lineal descendant n
Daniel Boone, has obtained divorce
al Clayton from Ethel Edwards Boone
great grandniece of Thomas Jefferson
One Of the allegations Boone made
on the witness stand was that his
wife repeatedly told him that her fam
ily tree was superior to his. She con
sldered Thomas Jefferson more dis
tingulshed ancestor than the great
Kentucky pioneer and Indian fighter,
aud that she repeatedly declared the
Boones looked like washerwomen

PRISON DOOR is OPENED
TO BUNCH OF CONVICTS
Board Refused q Pardon to
Many Others

Atlanta, Ga, December 26.-On the
December docket of the prison COM
mission 213 cases appeared in appeal
for clemency, and out of that large
number IS OF them were murder
cases serving life terms. Out of
the 213 cases the commission dispos-
ed of only 80, leaving IT'S to be con-
idered in the future. OF these many
are of comparatively small merit,
and will get slight consideration.
During the two December meet
ings the commission declined II
cases, recommend II for parole, 2
for pardon, for reduction to fines,
or reduction of fines and commuted
4 death sentences.
The four recommended for commu-
tation were ]. c. Hunter, of Savan-
nah; Tom Jackson, Valdosta; Andrew
Scott, of Spalding, and Gus Ragan, OF
Dodge. The governor approved the
recommendation for all except Jack
son, and as only two commissioners
recommended in that case, the negro
was executed.
Three life men were recommended
for parole, Chas. Simons, of Fulton
Clinton Smith, of Pulaski, and Ed
Swain of Colquit. Governor Slator
has approved the Simons case. This
governor declined to commute tbs
sentence of J. F. Hearing, a white ii.
ger operator, of Macon, to fine
Herring was sentenced to pay a fine
of $500 and serve five months in jail
The prison commission turned hin
down, and SO did the governor.
In fact, liquor cases get little com
fort from either the commission OF
the governor Out of the 213 case!
on the docket, "a are liquor violators
and only one was acted on at all
Herring's who was turned down.

TAFTS STATE IS NOW
GETTING wet AGAIN

Columbus, Ohio, December 26.-Re-
cent local option elections held in
Ohio under the Rose law indicate
that public sentiment has turned and
that the dry" wave which swept ov-
er the state a few years ago has spent
its force. Columbus county, which
contains the city of East Liverpool,
has swung back into the saloon ranks
and about two score saloons have
been opened in East Liverpool this
month. Perry county, after three
year experience with aridity, also
voted in the saloons this month, the
"wets" winning by a majority of 633,
as compared with dry majority OF
1913 three years ago.

PACKERS CLAIM The
IMMUNITY BATH
Judge Reserves Decision and
Case Goes On

Chicago, Dec. 26.-When the trial
of the ten Chicago meat packers in
dicted for alleged criminal violation
of the Sherman antitrust law was re-
sumed after the Christmas holiday
today before United States District
Judge George Carpenter, the gov
case to the jury by calling its first
witness to the stand. Government has
300 witnesses and is carefully guard
ing the list of names.
When the trial was resumed Attor-
ney John S. Miller, on behalf of the
packers, created surprise by reviv.
ing the immunity pleas successfully
used by the packers several year ago
when they were prosecuted by the
government.
Counsel contended that the immun-
ity plea applied to all of the ten de-
PENDANTS who testified before the Gar
field investigating commission.
Counsel for the government con-
tested the motion on the ground that
the court had already passed on the
Question in ruling against the plea In
abatement. Judge Carpenter re-
served decision on the motion and di-
rected the government to proceed with
its case.

BIG SLUMP SHOWN
IN IMMIGRATION
Enormous Horde Have Gone
Back to Europe

New York, December 26.-One Of
the greatest slumps in immigration
ever recorded at the port of New
York is being written into the records
at Ellis Island during the last days
of the year
Already the-records show that near
ly 100000 fewer immigrants have
landed there up to the present time
than for the corresponding period in
1910, and indications are, Commits
sioner Williams states, that there will
be reduction of 30 per cent. or
more from 1910 figures for the year.
The incoming tide of humanity is
lower now than at any time since
1908.
Every ship leaving for Europe is
crowded as never before. One vessel
sailing several days ago left 500 steer
age passenger on the wharf because
of inability to find accommodations for
them. In the first 10 days of De-
cember, 1910, 1906 third-class pas
sengers sailed for Europe: this. year
25,z45 sailed Outbound vessels car
ried nearly so per cent. more third
class passengers this year than last.

PERSONNEL OF THE NINE STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE CITY COUNCIL HAVE
BEEN MADE KNOWN BY MAYOR MATHIS COUNCIL NOW ORGANIZER
FOR THE WORK OF THE COMING YEAR.

City council will be ready for bust
ness and thoroughly organized wher

which is the time for the next regu-
lar meeting of that body. One of the
most important features of organiza-
tion was completed at the last meet
ing of council Monday afternoon

coming year were named
Prior to the naming of committees
by Mayor Mathis Monday afternoon,
the three new aldermen, who were
elected at the recent municipal cleo
tion, were sworn in last Wednesday at

new aldermen who took the oath of
office and assumed their duties to
serve the people of Americus in the
capacity of councilmen during 1912
We're Messrs. Lee Allen, ] S. Bolton
and j. E. Poole.
The placing of these three new
councilmen among those chosen to
serve the city changes the personnel
of the board of aldermen, as the city
charter provides that three of the
city's six aldermen shall be chosen
thereby leaving three old
aldermen and three new aldermen to
make up the personnel of the board at
the beginning of the year. The board
Of aldermen now is composed of the
following members: Messrs. Lee Gn

: Inc mayors summary of the year .
municipal progress is as follow:
Gentlemen of the City Council:
We come again to the end of {
year and before beginning another il
becomes us, as faithful public officers
to look back over the year that is
past as well as to look forward to
the year which is to follow.
In this report I shall deal only
with general conditions, leaving the
detail reports of the different depart
ments to furnish the accurate in
formation that should guide us in
shaping our policies and expenditures
for the coming year, so as to greatly
diminish our outstanding obligations
ION general expenditures.
The year 1911 is notable in the
work of public improvement.
Two miles of street paving near
ing completion, ten miles of tiled
sidewalks; twelve miles of new sew
ers, in addition to the ten miles oi
old; three miles new water mains. in
addition to ten miles of old;- a new
200-horsepower boiler, a new high
duty pump of one and a half million
gallons daily capacity; new twelve
inch artesian we'll; a new 25OO00-
gallon reinforced concrete reservoir;
a new auto fire truck: a new rein
forced concrete bridge over Town
creek and Lee street, with a new
wide wooden bridge at Barlow street
and gan ornate reinforced concrete
bridge at Lee over the tracks of the
Seaboard railroad will add much to
the beauty, comfort, health, safety
from fire, and the general welfare
and progress of the city.
The following table gives an exact
statement of our bonded debt, from
which you will see that the city is
in a splendid condition, so far as
bonds are concerned; $2S,OO0.0e of
the bonds were retired this year:

The first year of Mayor Mathis adj
is now rapidly drawing 10
a close, and in fact, as regards the
official duties of the members of coun-
Gil, the year has practically closed al
ready, as there will be no further

only duties of consequence to be per-
formed by the mayor, barring unex-
pected exigencies, will be those at the
recorders court, or other minor du-
ties
Congratulations are being extended
