nesday afternoon at four o'clock,
where several hundred friends from
Nashville, Columbia and adjoining
country assembled to witness the mar
riage of his daughter, Margaret Elma,
to Kenna Moore Throop, of Nashville.
The entire home was lavishly and
beautifully decorated in white, green
and pink, the colors chosen for the
entire wedding. The grand old porch
contained many choice potted plants
and ferns, while the wide hall and
spacious parlors were canvassed and
banked in dogwood blossoms, south
ern smilax, and lighted with scores
of white candles. In the parlor to
the right on entering the magnificent
array of costly gifts were arranged.
Most prominent was the superb full
chest of silver given by the groom's
family, while the elegant set of white
and gold china given by the brides
family, was quite as requisite for a
beautiful home. Tokens of cut glass,
silver, china, brass and handsome lin

checks and gold pieces made one
think of olden times. Nestled in a

groom is connected. In the main par

SHEPPARD IS
AGAINST The
FEE system
IS BUSY DEFENDING HIS BILL
Are That 1t Will
Pass

Atlanta, Ga, July Ex-senator j. E.
Sheppard, of the Thirteenth district
made a valiant effort Friday morning
to require state house and county Of
fcials receiving fees to file itemized
statements of fees and expenditures
with the secretary Of state.
On the second reading Of his bill
the vote to repudiate an adverse com
mittee report indicated the passage
of the bill. The bill was then ad-
versely reported by the general jul
dietary committee, but unanimous
consent was granted the author to
bring it up for the second reading for
the purpose of disagreeing with the
report of the committee.
1t was argued by the advocates of
the measure that the public is entitled
to know just what compensation its
officials get and the opposition con-
tended that the enactment Of the bill
would be a step against fees and that
the public doesn' want officials on a
salary basis. The author of the bill
insisted that it was not to put Off
cials on a salary basis but to ascer-
tain the amounts of heir fees.
The oposition said that it was the
public's fault if it had no knowledge
of the amounts of the fees of its Of
ficers. Senator Shepard, the author,
fo the bill, said that the tendency II
the times is to repudiate the fees sys-
TEN in favor of salaries and that the
difficulty of drafting a bill to place
officials on a slary is that no one
can find out just what the officers
are getting under the fee system.
Senator Roberts, chairman of the
general judiciary committee, defended
the action of the committee, saying
that the present system had been IN
vogue for many years and had worked
successfully. He declared hat the
bill is unnecessary and that informa-
ton as to salaries can be obtained
from the several grand juries.
The adverse report of the commit
tee was disagreed with by the vote If
.21 to u, and on a resolution of SEN
ator Shepard the bill will come up for
it's third reading Monday. Indications
are that it will be passed.

new BRIDGES
Will Soon BE
CONSTRUCTED
OFFICIALS READY FOR WORK
SGabOard to Begin Work on
Barlow Street

The ISeaboard Railway Company is
ready to begin at once the erection
of two substantial bridges across the
tracks in Americus in accordance
with the agreement arrived at some
time ago between that company and
the city council of Americus as told
in detail in The Times-Recorder at
that time.
An entirely new bridge on Barlow
street, and another replacing the old
wooden structure on Lee street, are
assured, and work will actually begin
this morning.
Superintendent H. B. Grimshaw was
in Americus yesterday and all final
details were completely outlined
The present wooden structure on
Barlow street will be entirely remov-
ed and a new bridge, out and out, will
be erected there. 1t will be very sub
stantially built, and when completed
and painted will be a vast improve
ment upon the old bridge.
AS the timbers have been cut al
ready and building material placed
upon the ground, it will require only
two weeks to build this bridge. in
the meantime, Barlow street, from
Earle to College, will be closed to traf-
fic
On Lee street, where the traffic IS
far greater than on Barlow, bridge
of reinforced concrete will supplant
the old and worn structure there
now. This announcement will affo ID
general satisfaction, as a bridge Of
concrete, or steel, at this important
point is very essential.
The concrete bridge will be upon
the street level, thus cutting out the
hump" in the old bridge. The struc-
ture will be the very best, and the
general appearance of Lee street will
be vastly improved when it is finish
| ed.
The blueprint drawings of the two
bridges are now in the office of City
Engineer J. B. Ansley. Work upon
the Lee street concret bridge will be-
gin in two weeks, or as soon as the
Barlow street bridge is completed it
will require about three months, it
is expected, to complete the concrete
bridge.
The railway company and the city
council have thus "bridged" over all
differences of the past, and the city
gets what it needed-two bridges
over the railroad tracks.

Washington, July 23.-The quarter
master general has taken the final
army remount station at Fort Royal,
army remount station at Front Royal,
Va. 1t was his proposed remoun sta
ton that caused such a discussion III
the house in the last session of con-

the military authorities had a legal
right to acquire land for the purpose
of breeding horses for the army.
There were discussions over the rel
ative merits of Kentucky horses and

ACID FACTORY WILL
SOON Be Completed
Track is Ready For Work to
Begin at Once

Work of constructing the new plant
of the National Agricultural Corpora
ton on the Central of Georgia rail-
way tracks about a mile south of the
city will begin in a short time, as the
spur track to carry the building ma
tegials and later act for shipping ia
cilities, has been laid.
When the work of construction IS
once begun, it will be rushed to com
pletion so that the plant will be ready
for use during the coming season to
supply a part of the large trade in
certain fertilizer products now being
furnished by the fertilizer manufac-
turers of this city for farmers of this
and many surrounding counties. 1t is
estimated that the plant will cost en-
tire, when completed, very nearly
100000
The manufacturing part of the plant
will be restricted to the production
of crude sulphuric, or commercial
sulphuric acid, which is so largely
utilized now in the manufacture of
fertilizers. The fact that Americus Sc
cured this plant in strong compesi-
tion with other neighboring cities,
each of which was visited by repre-
sentatives of the corporation, shows
the desirable features the city pre-
sents for prospective manufacturing
industries.

ODDIE SEES HOPE FOR DRY FARMS
Nevsda's Governor Encouraged by What
He Saw In Utah

Governor Tasker L. Oddie Of Nevada,
who accompanied President Taft from
San Francisco TO Logan, Utah, gave the
following interview 20 the Salt Lake
Herald
my visit to the State of Utah has
been a revelation and an education"
declared Governor Oddie. "Why, your
people have transformed the desert
into a DO yer of beauty. The results
achieved in dry farming are a source
Of wonder to me. Back in Nevada we
have only just begun to experiment
along that line and it will be two or
three years before we shall be able to
show results.
"Our population is not large, and our
main industry is mining. but with the
almost limitless acres Of desert waiting
for the hand of the dry farmer | can
see no reason why Nevada should not
duplicate your success.
"Some two months ago we devised a
scheme wherein all the people of the
State might benefit directly. The State
purchased the necessary machinery and
provided the men to work the land,
which was bought with money secured
from the people on the cooperative
scheme. Large tracts Of land outside
Carson City were acquired aud are be-
ing worked by the State at a charge of
the bare expense of labor. The State
does not stand to make or lose anything
by this method. other than the educa-
tion of the people in dry farming.
"Thus far our people have evinced
the greatest interest in the experiment.
When l return to Nevada l shall sug-
gest ths. a commission be appointed to
visit Utah, particularly Nephi. where
l understand dry farming has reached
the acme of success, for the purpose of
thoroughly investigating your methods
and adopting them ourselves"

RECOVER ON FAKE DIVIDENDS
Far Reaching Decision Handed
Down by New York Court
OF Appeals

A decision Of the most f~ar-reaching
consequences was handed down by the
Court Of Appeals of this State this week
which deeply concerns investors who
have bought stocks from companies
that were apparently paying bona ade
dividends, only to learn at a later date
that the dividends were paid from the
company's capital and not from the
earnings.
In the case of Ottinger against Ben
nett the court has ruled that directors
of a company who declare and pay a
dividend out of capital are personally
liable for all losses incurred by those
who buy stock in consequence of the
declared dividend. In other words.
investors who are deceived by a de-
clared dividend into believing that a
company is earning money may sue the
~company's directors for any loss in
