AMERICUS TO SOUTH ALABAMA
f PROPOSED ROUTE OF HIGHWAY
Counties Along the Route viii Make it One Of the Best
-.CuthbGEt People Are JubiIant

Cuthbert, Ga, Aug. 19.-Oficial an
nouncement is made that the Cuthbert
Dawson and Smithville route of the
proposed Americas, Andalusia and
Mobile Highway has won out over that
OF Richland, Preston and Lumpkin.
The news is received with pleasure by
citizens and officials who have been
back of the movement. For the sec
Ond time, Cuthbert has been in a
friendly highway contest with her
plucky little neighbor, Richland, and
both times Cuthbert has won.
Recently Cuthbert secured the Co>
lumbus, Arlington and Tallahassee
giving the city and county a
north and south route; now she Sc
cures an east and west route, from the
Andersonville-T Highway
at Smithville, to Mobile, Ala.
The Georgia end of this proposed
route will have SmithviIle, Bronwood,
Dawson. Graves, Shellman, Cuthbert,
Morris and Georgetown
along the route, traversing the coun-
ties of Lee, Terrell, Randolph and
Quitman. 1t will strike Eufaula, in
Alabama, and from that point, it will

connect Clayton, Clio, Louisville, Troy
and Andalusia.
From Andalusia promoters of this
highway, Messrs. Doty, Henderson an(
others, have gone over the entire
route, made detailed notes and esti-
mates, and secured the cooperation OF
every town and county along the line
before calling a convention.
This convention is now called to
meet in Andalusia next Tuesday, at
which time final details, relating to
the highway, election of officers, etc,
woll take place. Andalusia is prepar-
ing for a great occasion and an en-
thusiastic crowd Cuthbert will send
a strong delegation to the convention,
as also the other points in Georgia
along the proposed line.
Already Randolph county has be-
gun work on her east and west hign-
way, commencing at the Terrell coun-
ty line, going west thirty feet in width,
with steel bridges, etc. Cuthbert and
county purposes being in
the lead in matters of this kind and
her second victory makes two prom
nent highways intersect at this point.

R. Crisp of Americus, now parliamen-
tartan of the house, will be a candi-
date for congress from the new con-

Pleasing Growth Shown by
Local Postal Receipts

Americus is forging rapidly forward
into a position where it will be rank
ed as a first class postOffice.
This is good news to every loyal
citizen who wishes to see Americas
take it's rank among the leading cit
les of the state, in postal sales Us
we'll as in other industries. The city
now ranks among the second class
postOffices, but there is every reason
to believe that it's admission to the
first class will soon take place.
During the summer months the pos
tai receipts have held up in manner
that shows clearly the prosperity o.
this section. Last month, for instance
the receipts approXimated more than
$4,000. The close of the postal year
last March showed that the receipts
for the year were about $4,000. When
the present year closes, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the receipts viii
show total of more than $4,000.
The frs class postoffices are those
which show annual receipts of rs

.SEABOARD SHOPS At SAVANNAH
WIPED OUT BY FLAMES
Entire Plant is Destroyed by Fire Which Started in the
Blacksmith Shop Loss Estimated at 100000

The entire shops of the Seaboard
Railway at Savannah were wiped out
Friday night by fire which started IN
the late afternoon in the blacksmith
shop and spread rapidly. The fire
started just as the five hundred en-
ployes quit work for the day, and all
though they fought the flames, it was
impossible to stop their progress.
There was no water supply avail
able, and the flames leaped from bull
ding to building until all were swept
away in the sea of flame.
The buildings that burned We're the
blacksmith shop, the round house, the
machine shop and boiler room. The
boiler room was the second building
to catch fire.
AS the flames wrapped round the
building, the valve to the whistle
opened and steamed by the flames,
the whistle sounded a dirge for the
burning shops during the two hours
it took to destroy them.
Before the round house burned the
engines quarteded there were coup
led UP to a passenger engine and pull
ed out of harms way.
Under shed near the round house
were two engines lacked up for re-
pairing, which could not be removed.
On top of this shed the employees and
the firemen stood and wet the hot
metal roof and sides of the shed with
water drawn from the boilers of the
other engines in an almost unbearable
heat.
The last cars that We're rolled away
by the men caught fire as they passed
the fiery buildings, and with sides
burning formed a rare spectacle as
they moved in the distance.
|. The fire, with nothing to check its
progress, formed an inspiring specta-
Gle as the flames Ieaped along the
ground or rose high above the acres

night came on for miles against the
lowering clouds that held back their
rain until the fire had fully accom-
plished its work
The shops had no connection with
the city water system, except a 2 IL
inch pipe connected with one of the
city's 8-inch mains at Stiles avenue,
on the city limits, five-eights of a.
mile from the shops This was put in
five months ago to furnish drinking
water for the men.

meantime all repair work there will

to Fernandina, where the Seaboard
also has large shops Many of the
Savannah employees may be sent here
in the interim as we'll.
The chief officials of the company
were out of the city at the time but
other officials approximate the dam
age at $4,000 and 100000, and say
the burned buildings We're insured. |

MAY ASK GOMPERs
TO QUIT CIVIC BODY
American Federation of Labor
to Consider Matter at
Present Session.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 17.-Anticipa-
ton that the California delegation to
the convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, in session here, will
make further attempts to obtain rec
ognition for a resolution appropriating
$50, 900 for the defense of the McNa-
mara brothers, held the interest of
delegates today. The successful eff
forts of President Gompers and other
labor officials prevented the introduce
ton of a resolution for the a%ppropria-
ton yesterday. The unanimous con-
sent of the convention now must be
obtained before the matter can be in
troduced in the form of a resolution,
but according to the ruling of Presi-
dent Gompers, it may be proposed by
a delegate as a substitute for a por-
ton of a committee report.
Another matter of interest pending
is the probability of Mr.. Gompers and
fourteen other labor leaders now MEM
bers of the National Civil Association
being asked to sever their connection
with that body.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. IA widow
while her husband still lives. divorced
in all but name from the man h mara
ried, Mrs. George Kelly, of Port Blake
ly, Wash, is trying to win her husband
back to her.
Her husband is S. C. Rogers, the
New York messenger boy who was
slugged over fourteen years ago and
who awoke following an operation in
Providence hospital here to find that
he had lived fourteen years as George
Kelly, of whom he now knows nothing.
Mrs. Kelly is the wife of Rogers
but the widow Of George Kelly. Kelly
and Rogers are the same men in body,
but separate personalities in all else.
1t was as George Kelly that Agnes
Johnson married him. She brought
him to the hospital here when he wan
dered from home insane. To-day he
gazes at 'er without recognition. She
is to him only the strange woman
whom he found at his side when he
awoke from the operation.
During the fourteen years iife of
George Kelly he served in the navy,
and it was while in the Bremerton
navy-yard that he wooed and won
Miss johnson. Later he received his
discharge and worked in the lumber
mills at Port Blakely. The couple
lived there as Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly.
Their life was ideal. october 10 KEEL
ly came home with a headache. He
wandered away in the forest, where
he was found a raving maniac. Then
he was operated on. That was the end
of George Kelly. He awoke as s. c.
Rogers.
81 I'm living in hope and prayer that
George will return to himself" said
Mrs. Kelly after her husband failed to
recognize her. 1.-THE doctors say they
do not think he will. But l am pray
ing that he will.
1--WE We're happy together. He loved
me then. He never went away in the
morning without kissing me and he
always kissed me when he came home.
IN the hospital he looked at me as a
stranger.
There never was a better man. He
was so good to me. He knew he had
been a messenger boy and he knew his
age and his birthday. l do not under
stand why he doesn't know anything
ABOUT all those fourteen years.
"I saw him at Port Orchard, in a
PADDED cell" Her voice broke as she
added: He knew me then. He could
not talk, but he pointed to his head,
as if in pain. They wanted to send
him to the asylum, but | wouldn't let
them.
81 can't believe it is all true. What
ABOUT my plans? Oh, I haven't any.
IL he doesn't want me now, l can't live
with him. He doesn't know me and
t:oesn { know about our past life. But
I have not given up hope"
Rogers is still under observation at
the Providence Hospital here. Under
the most rigid probing he has not be-
ptrayed a shadow of knowledge of his
former self as George Kelly.
Dr. NJ. G. Sturgis, who performed
the operation, states that the blow re-
oeiVed by the boy in New York short
circuited the old channels of thought,
which were restored when part of the
skull was removed from the brain three
weeks ago.

Among the remnant of the aborigi-
nal Indians who inha bited North Amer

it has remained for Nine. Schumann-
Heink to find a pretty Cherokee In
dian girl who is to become one of the
greatest singers of the world-at least
so Nine. SchumanlrHeink says, and
her opinion is worth while.
In a couple of years opera goers in
Europe will listen to interpretations of
Carmen" Aida" and ''Santuzza' by
this oive-skinned, beautiful Indian
girl who, with her magnificent figure
and wonderful histrionic ability, will
thrill them as no singer has ever done
and "LaHome" is American through
and through.
Away down in Oklahoma-and thus
her name, La Homa''--lived a young
Indian girl among her people. One
day great singer, who happened tC
be in Oklahoma City, heard of her and
hunted her up. She found Mrs. SUI
zanne Cobb McDaniels possessed the
most natural voice she had ever listen
ed to, and since that day La Homa
has been the protege of Nine Schu
