Mr.. HATCHER'S WORK
WIDELY APPRECIATED
Macon Photographer Closes
Engagement Today

Mr.. Hatcher, MacOn's leading pho
tOgrapher, who has been in Americus
for several days giving the people OF
this city and section the advantages
of his artistic and high grade photo
graphic and portrait work, will close
his present engagement here to-day.
Those who wish work of excellence
and distinction should see Mr.. Hatcher
to-day at the Bell Piano School before
his return to Macon.
The very generous and liberal pat
ronage given to Mr.. Hatcher while he
has been here is ample proof of the
appreciation of his services by the
people of Americus, large number
of whom have patronized him in Ma
con have had still better advantages
in point of time and convenience in
seeing him here at their leisure. Such
general appreciation has been given
to Mr. Hatcher's work that he will
likely have regular engagements here
in the future.

BY DEPUTY MULLALLY
Officer Defends Himself When
Fired Upon

Macon, August 3.-Charles Jackson,
a negro section hand, was shot and
killed Wednesday night about eight
o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Mutually af-
ter he had deliberately fired at the Of

This morning Simon Barron was II
rested by Sheriff Hicks, about six
O'Clock, as he was coming to the city
on q wagon. He had on two suits ..
clothes and his pockets were filled
with biscuit, indicating that he con-
tempIated making an escape from this
county.
Yesterday afternoon the sheriff's o.
# ers arrested Joe Kemp, the negro
who was with Frank Daniels at the
time he killed Mr.. Burlington in the
latter's store Saturday night. The
sheriff has unearthed evidence to show
that Joe Kemp also fired on Mr. Bul-
lington, although his bullets did not
take effect.
These are the developments grow
ing out of the search for Frank Dan
iels, who escaped Immediately after
the murder of Mr.. Burlington, and who

is gradually tightening around him
and his arrest is only a matter of a
few days. 1t is believed that he is hid

SEWERS Will
DRAIN EVERY
PART OF CITY
THREE new EXTENSIONS
Work Of Installing Sewers
Will Soon Begin

So thoroughly and carefully have
the plans fo@ the extension of the citys
sewerage system been perfected,
that when they are finally put into ef-
feet there will be but little, if any,
section of the city that will nots be
supplied with sewerage facilities.
In order that the unsewered terri
tory of the city may be completely
covered by the new system, the eXtea-
sions have been divided into three
branches, known on the city engi-
|neer's charts as the Northern, Eastern
and Southern extensions. Each of
these extensions will begin very near
the heart of the city and terminate at
or near the city limits.
The Northern extension will COM
mence just below the Central of Geor-
gia turntable on Town creek, run
north to Factory Row, East on Facto-
ry Row to McGarrah street and along
McGarrah and numerous other streets
to the city limits. This extension will
cover in adequate manner the needs of
the sewerage system in the northern
section of the sity.
The Eastern extension will COM
mence on Town creek very near the
same place as the northern extension
1t will extend along Bay street to Lee
and then take an easterly direction
toward the cemetery, covering an un.
usually large number of streets of the
city. 1t is doubtless true that the cas-
! tern section of the city would be
found upon investigation to contain
the center of population in Americus
so that the recognizer need of sewer
age facilities of the best kind there
will be satisfied.
The Southern extension of the sew
erage system will commence at the
intersection of the Seaboard Air Line
and Hampton street, extending south
along Hampton to the end Of that
street, thence eastward by way Of
Forrest street to Lee street and along
Lee to the city limits.
These are only a few of the streets
that will be traversed by this extern
sion as the entire number is large,
lust as is true of the other extensions
that traverse large numbers of streets
not mentioned. The effort has been TO
give a general idea Of the direction of
the extensions rather than to enumer-
ate even a small number of the streets
to be severed. The small territory
not covered will be easily accessible
to sewerage facilities at small expense
making the system virtually complete.
Work on the extension of the sew
erage system will begin in very
short time, possibly before the paving
work begins. Already two carloads ii
material has been received, so that as
soon as the managers of the work
reach the city the work may begin.
This contract, it will be recalled, was
awarded to P. j. Curran, of Knoxville,
Tenn.

GROWING WHEAT AFTER CORN
Plan Not ss Coed as Summer Fslloy~
ing, According TO Reports From
Experiment Stations.

There are those who contend that
Just as good wheat can be grown
after corn as on q summer fallov.
This seasons experimental crops at
the Nebraska station and fields
throughout Colorado. Nebraska and
Kansas do not bear out this theory.
There Is good deal 10 be said
against the dry fsIlow. and 1; often
seems wasteful TO do so much rork
as II uecessitates Tor oae years crop
and pay the interest oa two bodies Of
l2nd .nstszd Of ezs. Very often the
extra work is more expensive in ap-
pearance than in reality. as the sum
mer fallov extends the period OF
work for horses or steam over long
period and thus lessons actual cost
All experiments show that about fifty
per cent OF moisture can be conserved
on good soils, which means 81 inches
Of moisture with a l4-inch rainfall.
Probably the longer farming is carried
on. a due regard being had 10 the
preservation OF humus. the greater the
conservation possible. as the subsoil
Is opened by the roots and cultivation.
An early maturing crop OF peas
would be far more consistent with
what IS known OF dry farming eXi-
gencies than a crop like corn. whose
deep roots search the lowest crevices
Of the subsoil for the last drop OF
moisture until late in the season. and
whose only advantage is the thorough
cultivation that such a crop under
good farming methods insures- In the
state Of Washington sometimes 80
successive crops OF wheat have been
grown and then following resorted to
successful when the bcu&s had be-
come too depleted for a crop TO be
groEn more than every other year.
