QUITMAN FURNISHES
A MURDER MYSTERY
Mrs. Davis Sapp Completely
Disappears

Quitman, Ga, May 26.-An attempt
at assassination occurred several
night ago, w c. Parker, a we'll known
white man, being the victim The at
tempt occurred at Parker's store, sew
eral miles in the country and news
of the particulars has just been re-
ceived here. Parker was shot through
the leg and remained all night without
medical attention or any aid except
what his wife could give, because she
was afraid to venture out to summon
the neignbors
Parker has a little store near his
home, and was called out by some one
pretending to want some goods. He
heard two or three persons talking as
he went to the store, but in the dark
could not see them. Opening the store
he called his supposed customers to
come in, and get what they wanted
AS they did not respond he went
out finally, and as he was locking the
door he was fired upon from behind
the corner of the store, not over fif-
teen feet away The ball went entirely
through his leg and dropped into a
barrel just behind him, where it was
found next morning. No reason what
ever is known for the attempted MUIR
der, unless it was desired to rob

ACID PLANT FOR AMERICUS
Will Be LARGE INDUSTRY
Company Will Supply Local Demand for Acid in Manufacture OF Fertilizer
Plant viii Employ Hundred Men During Busy Season and Operate the
Entire Year.

One great advantage in having this
plant here is that it lessons the cost
of acid as used by the fertilizer mills
now located here There Americas
plants buy now in distant markets,
and will thus save heavy freight
charges.
From the nearest shipping point
the freight on acid to Americus is SIP
per ton. On thousands of tons used
the saving will be considerable
The management announces that
the Americas plant will be operated
throughout the entire year, instead Of
in the winter and spring months
alone. During three months of the
busiest season the factory will employ
one hundred operatives, and during
the other nine months at least thirty
men.
This force employed insures large

gued yesterday, but owing to other
important business the case was not
reached and goes over to the Noyem-
Der term of United States District
court. Had the demurrer been ar
gued yesterday and sustained, as
Americas attorneys for the defend
ants had hoped, the case might have
come to an abrupt conclusion now, but
the continuance was necessary on ac-
count of numerous peonage cases be-

Americas is to possess another i'm
portant manufacturing enterprise
shortly in the erection here of the
great acid plant of the Interstate
Agricultural Corporation, one of the
largest concerns in the United States
engaged in the manufacture of acids
as component part of commercial
f rtilize:.
The City Council, in order to induce
tie location of this plant in Americas,
VII make such concessions as asked
by The company.
End It means an important addition
to the citys growing list of industrial
establishments.
The company, it is understood, has
already secured an eligible building
site on the Central of Georgia railway
out beyond the old baseball park, and
viii soon begin the erection of build
ings for the manufacture of its out
put. The plant, it is expected, VIII
be ready to begin operations by late
fall.
This company, it is said, uses the
sulphur products of the Ducktown
mines on the Georgia-Tennesse state
line, consuming the greater part 90

New York, May 26-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
6 points on May, but generally un-
changed to points higher in response
to higher cables and covering by some
of yesterdays sellers who seemed TO
fear a rnewal of old crop bull sup
port, and the possible influence Of
bullish weekend figures. The circu-
lation of a few May notices probably
accounted for some scattering liquida-
ton of that position, which sold off to
net loss of about points during the
forenoon, while July and August sold
about to points net lower. The
small intosight figures steadied prices
shortly after midday, but no active
demand developed, and the market
turned easier again during the early
afternoon.

Will BOND CASE
NOW BE SETTLED
Adjournment is Taken Until
October

Savannah, Ga, May 26.-Today's
session of the Central of Georgia rail-
way income bond interest hearing be-
fore Auditor Mackall will probably De
the last before next October.
That a settlement of the case may be
reached before the hearing is resum-
ed in the fall is by no means unlike
ly. Overtures have already been made.
1t is understood the parties have
failed to get together on a question. of
the expenses. The railway company,
it is understood, has expressed a will
ingness to pay the interest claim and
the other accessories, but the expense
incurred in the examination of the
books and of the litigation is the rock
on which the settlement negotiations
are stuck.
1t has been brought out through the
report of one of the expert account
ants that in the latter part of 1907
Maj Hanson, then president of the
Central, loaned Edward H. Harrison,
then president of the Missouri Pacific.
l ,000, 600. 1t was at that time the
road was claiming it did not have the
money with which to pay interest Oh
the income bonds. The plaintiffs are
.stressing this feature of the report.
The evidence adduced so far shows
an eyer-increasing amount expended
for betterments, which the plaintiffs
contend should have been credited 20
the income account.
The reason a recess is to be taken
is the fact that counsel for the de-
Tense wishes time to digest the testi-
mony of the expert witnesses, as it is
largely technical and statistical, and
will require time for consideration. AS
the summer is approaching it was de-
cided best to just let the case go over
until fall These are the reasons given
out, but there is a general belief that
in the meantime the parties may agree
upon terms of settlement.

CRISP DEBATERS Won IN
Spring Term DEBATE
Excellent Preparation Shown
By Every Speaker

Of special interest were the exer-
cises of the Crisp and Lanier Literary
societies of the High School at the
holding of the spring term debate in
the auditorium of the High School
building Thursday evening. After a
debate showing exceptional prepara-
ton and splendid augmentation, the
decision was awarded to the repre-
sentatives of the Crisp society.
A large audience witnessed the ex-
ercises and applauded the various
speakers, whose efforts at entertaining
the audience were materially aided by
the appearance of Miss Corinne Stills,
winner of the recent musical contests
in Fitzgerald and Albany. Enthusiast
tic society yells added life to the oc-
casion, also.
The subject, Resolved, That the
commission form of government is de-
sirable for American municipalities, -
was ably handled by the debaters rep
resenting each society. The repre-
sentatives from the Lanier society,
who championed the affirmative side
were Misses Pearl Lott, Sallie Es-
tell Garter and Mary Gray. The
Crisp society debaters, who discussed
the negative side were Messrs. Cloyd
Buchanan, Kinch Worthy and R. ?.
StackhOuse.
Each one of the debaters deserves
the highest commentator for tn:
manner in which the subject was APP
preached and prepared. So closely
debated was the subject that the std
dents and audience were ignorant OF
chat the decision of the judges would
be until Mr. E. A Nisbet, in strik-
ingly witty and pleasing manner, an
nounced that the negative had won.
