CRIPPLES
MIXED IN
BATTLE ROYAL
LGgIGSS Men Of AmGPiCuS In
SCrapiGSt
Three Men Possessing Collectively
But Two Good Limbs Fight a One
Round Bout and are Tried in Police
Court for Such Conduct.

Mayor Mathis in police court yes
terday sat as high arbiter in the
most unique case ever aired before
that august tribunal; a three-cornered
fight between cripples, wherein the
three warning citizens presented, cot
lectively but two perfectly good legs.
This statement might be difficult 20
comprehend until it is told that two
of the men possessed but one propel-
Ter each, while the third one had both
legs cut off in a railway accident some
time ago. The casus belli was fully
ventilated, and one of the warning trio
was fined three nuggets of silver,
while the others went their way r.
joicing without a fine. Oftimes has a
one-legged man paid the penalty IN
police court for slight transgression,
but never in local history have three
men, with only two legs in the EN-
tire bunch, been pulled in the same
fight. All the defendants are we'll
known and highly respected citizens
of Americus, too.

AFTER coin OF CUYLER
FOR A COTTON DEAL
Albanian Who Changed Name
From Smith

Atlanta, Ca, Feb.3--It has deYel-
oped that the accounts of lebanon
Smith Cuyler in the various Atlanta
banks in which he is supposed to
have had money have been attached
by w. V. Boyd, representing Canadian
Cottons. Limited, a big cotton COM
pany Of Canada, which charges Guy
Ter is indebted to that concern S44'-

1t seems that a man who went un-
der the name Of F, G. Bottum did bus
mess in the office Of Cuyler, who wa
using his late fathers name, H. II
Smith & Co., once a prominent Atlanta
firm. It is charged that Botum ship
ped coo bales of linters to the Cana
dian firm and sold it to them as good
cotton, receiving $4,000 or SO more
than it was worth.
Cuyler's friends are satisfied that
he knew nothing about this transac-
ton at the time, but unaDle 10 lo0 'sV
Bottum or any of the other partie
to the transaction, the Canadian firm,
it seems, is making an effort to collect
the claim from Cuyler.
Cuyler was brought back to At
lanta by Judge Emmett c. kontz, his
attorney who finally located him M
Toecane, \. c., and ne was at once
placed in a sanitarium. where he is
undergoing treatment A long gash
was found on his head, probably the
result of his jump from the train, aad
IL is stated also that he had aDDaf-
entity suffered a mental relapse,
His friends refused to state where
he was placed and said he could not
be seen in his present condition.

LANIER EXERCISES
MOST ENJOYABLE
Large Attendance Present on
Yesterday

OF unusual interest to all who at
tended were the exercises at the
High School auditorium yesterday af
tern0on in commemoration of the
birth cf Sidney Lanier, which were
participated in Jointly by the members
Of the Lanier and CIIsp Debating
and Literary Societies. In addition
to The members of the faculty and the
students of the High School there
were present a representative num-
b3r CT PATRONS of the school and
others.
Every selection on the program WIS
well rendered, the members of the
societies vying with each other N
making the exercises most worthy in
this particular. The only original
paper was that on The Character
and Works of Lanier," by Miss Mary
Fort, which was notable in the finely
appreciative manner in which it tres
ed the subject matter indicated by the
title,
Each of the six remaining students
who gave readings or recitations de-
serve high praise for the manner in
which they handled the selections as
signed to them. The quaint, homely
humor inherent in There's More III
the Man Than in There is in the
Land, was especially we'll interpret-
ed by Miss Mildred Lide, in her Sc
lection, it being the only humorous
one on the program. The singing Of
the patriotic song, THE Red Old
Hills of Georgia. which was parti
cipated in by the entire student body,
was rendered with much feeling
enthusiasm.
At the conclusion of the exercises
by the students and address on The
Life and Character. of Lanier" was
delivered by Rev R. L. Bivins, pas
tor of the Furlow Lawn Baptist
church. With a mingling Of pleas,
antry and eloquence, Mr. Bivins trac-
ed the eventful life Of Lanier as sold
ier, poet and musician. His address
was fitting conclusion for exer
cises, which, in the range and sympa-
thy with which they were prepared
and executed, reflected great credit
both on the faculty and students Of
the High School.

would be merely complimentary, Il
would carry with II the nominal floor

ditionally, always has been the rank

Means Committee, but expedIency Is
said now to dictate the nomination of
Mr.; Mann 1t can be stated authori-
tadvely, however, that the Illinois
representative will not be a candidate
unless former Speaker Cannon re-
fuses to enter the race.
Now that the fight against Mr.. Can
non has virtually been discontinued
and he would no longer be open to the
likelihood that he will ASK that the
honor OF door leadership be conferred

Despite the carefulness with which
the Democrats are selecting their COM
sonnel OF the new Rules Committee has
caused great hope to blossom in the

cratic leaders. the Democrat Rules
