From this interesting little chart of

that Friday took the cake for the high

having hit the "a degree mark, while
not a single maximum temperature fell

for it, as evinced in the courts OF
this city today.
Mrs. NJ. c. Eriesek seeks to be sep

because, as she alleges, he once kicked
her out of bed. and otherwise treated
her cruelty.
Miss Jessie Walch, another fair
seeker after freedom, alleges that he
husband threw shoes at her, shot At
her and even refused to call in doc
tor when she was sick.
Mrs. Hattie Henry, the third OF the
trio alleges that her husband has

WORK is NOW IN PROGRESS
ON new COLLEGE BUILDING
1t Will Make the College Building Equipment Complete and Modern New Bu
viii Have Rooms For Fifty Students Together With Dining Hall Facilities
For the Entire School

The first floor of the building will
contain the large dining hall, while
on the second floor will be the sleep
ing quarters of the boys, sufficient
rooms having been planned for this
purpose to accommodate so young men
students. By giving modern dining
hall and dormitory accommodations
and by leaving the old dining hall for
use as shops, the new building will
add largely to the effectiveness of the
comfort and work of the students at
the school,
The building will be one of distinc
tive appearance, as well as exception
ally modern and well arranged facil-
tiles. 1t will be constructed of brick,
laid in Flemish bond, with wide NOR
tarage, which will add to its unique

ness and originality of appearance,
The work of construction will be car
ried on in a manner that will insure
only the best work and general re-
suits.
AS there is a sum of $500 still to
be raised in order to complete the sum
of $4,000, which is needed for the
construction of the building, the plan
of securing subscriptions from the va
rious counties of the district, which
was suggested by Mr.. Crawford
Wheatleye, president of the board Of
trustees of the school, is an excellent
one. If this plan is carried out, each
county of the fifteen that compose the
district will make a contribution to fill
out the deficit.

NO HARM DONE
To RAILROADS
BY THE STRIKE
SAYS PRESIDENT MARKHAM
Situation Grows Better as
Men Return to Work

Chicago Oct President Mark
ham of the Illinois Central railroad
ended speculation as to the nature OF
his reply to a so-called arbitration
proposed from Governor Noel of Mis-
sissippi today by stating that the
Mississippi executive had not asked
for arbitrator. THE message from,
the governor was request that eth
er Vice President Park or myself come
to Mississippi to attend general
meeting at Jackson, and discuss with
the public the demands of the strikers
and the position of the railroad" said
Mr.. Markham. 1T was inspired by
the mayor of Jackson, and was for
the purpose of ending the strike there
that marked the beginning of the
strike Any arbitration there could
affect only the immediate vincinity,
and of course, could have no bearing
on the strike as a whole.
Il replied to Governor Noel that
there was no election to the pro-
posal, although no time nor detail of
any such meeting was considered.
THE actual situation on the road is
getting better all the time. More men
are returning to work, and the rail
road is handling all its necessary work
in good order"

Though the initial work toward the
construction of the new combined dor
mitory and dining hall at the Third
District Agricultural and Mechanical
College was begun last week, the first
real work will be gotten under way
during the present week.
The cut reproduced herewith gives
an excellent idea of the graceful lines
that characterize the new building, the
design of which will be typical OF the
Italian Renaissance. Not only in beau
ty of line and structure but also in
convenience and thoroughness OF
equipment, the new building will be
one that is unsurpassed by any among
those belonging to similar schools
the state.

CROPS AT VALD0STA RUINED
BY ATTACK OF WORMS
Sea Island Cotton is Damaged Twenty
Percent.

Valdosta, Ga Oct 1.-THE sea island
cotton crop of this section looks as
though it had passed through a hard
freeze. Nearly all of the top crop is
gone and all that will be gathered has
already been picked or is ready for the
pickers. The raid of the caterpillars
in the cotton fields has been very great
and the damage done is much more
than was thought. Nearly every farm
er in the city today declares that sea

HUGHES HAS
A CINCH ON
HIS SEAT
HERRINGTON NOT RUNNING
Strong Feeling in New District
For DanViIIe Man

Col. ALI Harrington, solicitor gen
eral, now a resident of the new
Twelfth, his county, Emanuel, having
been switched off from the First. has
abandoned the idea of running for
Congress in the new district At leasi
that is about the tenor of the infor-
nation he gave a Times Recorder rep
resentative who met the genial hum
orist.
Alf Harrington has been discussed
as much for Congress as any man in
the old First district Once or twice
he started to run, but for some rea-
son dropped out, although he has a
host of friends in the country coun-
ties. He had his eye on Congressman
Charley Edwards seat and in the eight
counties that make up his judicial cir
cult had pretty well built the fences
and laid the plans to take the job away
from the Savannah representative next
time.
Then came the reapportionment and
ALI found himself catapulted into a
new district, out of Edwards way.
Some of his friends charge that it was
mean trick. However, it is done
now.
Then Alf began to look around and
OF Cit in iC
onment He found that the new dis
trict already had a congressman in the
person of Hon. Dudley Hughes, of the
old Third. Putting his ears to the
ground, or otherwise getting his adept
fingers on the public pulse, Colonel
| Harrington found, as he does not fail
to admit, that there was a feeling of
sympathy in the new district for the
congressman who had been dumped
out of his old district Being in the
same boat himself, and having a warm
heart, Colonel Harrington says he
couldn't help sympathizing with Dud
Hughes himself
So, after thinking the matter over,
and finding that host of folks in the
new district really believed that
Hughes ought to have another term,
anyway and lead off the procession of
congressman from the Twelfth, Alt
Harrington has decided that he will
not interfere.
So he will run again for Solicitor
General when his term is up. But
that doesn't necessarily mean that
when two years more roll round Dud
Hughes and Alf Harrington will not
scrap it out for the seat the gentle
man from Danville now occupies.
No one in the new district is said
to have any chance to defeat Colonel
Hughes and the prediction is freely
made that he will enjoy the somewhat
unique distinction of having repre-
sented two Georgia districts at Wash
ington.

According to City Engineer Ansley,
when the paving work is begun anew
tomorrow, the supply of wood blocks
will be furnished more regularly and
in more adequate manner in the fu-
ture. In fact, it is hoped that they
will be supplied as fast as they are
needed.
Mr.. Ansley has just returned from a
trip to Mobile, where he inspected
personally the first lot of blocks that
are being prepared in that city for use
in the paving work here. In order that
the work of inspection may be main
tanned, Mr.. Ansley engaged an expert
to supervise the work of inspecting eV-
cry lot blocks that is to be shipped
to Americus.
There are now on the way, or VIII
soon be ready for delivery, wood blocks
sufficient to cover about 1000 square
Yards of surface, which is about equal
to the space now unpaved on Jackson
and Lee streets between Lamar ana
FORSYTH. Two car loads have already
arrived and one car is on the way, SO
that the supply here by Monday Will pe
sufficient to warrant an immediate re-
sumption of the work.
In speaking of the results OF ms
recent trip to Mobile, Mr.. Ansley sald
that the wood blocks turned out at
Mobile are splendid, as the lumber
supply is excellent and the plant Well
euipped. 1t required only few MN
utes for him to inspect the lumber fof
the blocks to be prepared for the nrSt
shipment. as there was an abundant
supply of excellent lumber at the M"-
bile plant.
II would he far better if all the
blocks could be obtained from th1 Mo
bie plant. said Mr.. Ansley, but the
Dlant there has several large contracts
already on hand, so that they can not
begin work on the supply OF plochS
for Americus until tomorrow. The two
carloads of blocks now here came from
