NO TRACE YET FOUND
OF LONG LOST PAPERS
Stripping Still Hopeful Of His
Release

Atlanta, March 24.-Vhe Edgar
case is still in fine muddle
as all the court records, from the in
dictment, through the conviction, with
sentence, subsequent appeal, brief OF
evidence, etc, have all been lost A
search is being made for them
in the archives of the state capitol
and in the Harris county courthouse.
The prison commission is indispos-
ed to pass on the case until these
documents can be found. Stripping
was adjudged guilty of murder with
recommendation to the mercy Of the
court, and sentenced to a life term.
1t is not believed at this time that
anybody has stolen the records. RAJ
Their it is the hypothesis that in the
lapse of years they have been mis-
placed.
What direction the case will take
in the event they are never found IS
the problem of the hour. Stripling's
friends are already asking the legal
question of whether the man can be
held at all without the production Of
the authentic record showing that he
was convicted.

SANITARIUM IS Open TO
PATIENTS in GEORGIA
State Institution at Alto Is
Opened

Atlanta, March 24-The Georgia
State tuberculosis Sanitarium has
been opened at Alto, Ga, with a
capacity to accommodate seventy pa
TENTS That capacity, however, can
be increased as the necessity arises,
and the legislature apprOpriates more
money. Capt. W. G. Raoul as chairman
of the sanitarium executive committee,
superintended the opening. Dr. Ed
son W. Glidden, at Alto, is the super
intendent of the institution The in
stitution is open to all white citizens
of Georgia, who have been residents
at least one year when application is
properly made. Full information can
be obtained by writing the superin-
tendent. The sanitarium is strictly a
state institution. 1t is believed last
ing good will result from it. The i'm
petus to the movement which resulted
in the appropriation by the legislature
for this work was largely given by Dr..
George Brown, of this city, member Of
the assembly and world wide authority
on tuberculosis

MEETING OF CITIZENS In
The INTEREST OF BONDS
Subject Was Discussed Last
Night

That interest is felt in the propose1
bond issue to the amount Of $4,000
for extending the sewerage and water
systems was evidenced in the meet
ing of citizens last night at the city
hall. Brief addresses pertinent to the
matter at issue were made, and plans
outlined for getting voters to the
polls on election day The large num-
Der thus interested in the proposition
to issue more bonds for the purposes
designated worked assidiOusly to that
end, despite the apparent apathy OF
other citizens, many of whom will OPP
pose the new issue of bonds, largely
for the reason that the issue OF $4O,-
900 voted three years ago for street
paving are still on hand, the city
council having declined to sell them
and apply the proceeds to street paw
ing as provided,

]. |. CHAMBLISS IS DEAD
AT HOME IN SUMTER
Passed Away Friday After
Short Illness

Mr.. Jesse L. Chambliss died at 4
O'Clock Friday morning at his resi-
dence east of Americas, the end fo!-
lowing an illness of two or three
weeks duration. In view of his crit
ical condition during the past week
the end was not unexpected among
those who had so long watched at his
bedside.
Mr.. Chambliss was very valued cit
izen of Sumter county, a man of in
fluence and high standing, and his
death is deplored.
For quite three weeks he was con-
fined to his room by a serious organic
affection which baffled the skill of his
physicians. An operation was per-
formed on Sunday last, but without re-
lief, and the end came slowly.
Mr.. Chambliss possessed extensive
planting interests in Sumter and was
also actively engaged in business in
Americas as founder of the Chambliss
Warehouse Co, which also has allied
interests at Leslie. He was a success
full man of affairs and esteemed among
his friends.
For several years he served Sum
ter county as a member of the Board
of County Commissioners.
Mr. ChHmbliss was in the prime and
vigor of manhood, being in his forty
sixth year Besides his wife he is
survived by three sons, Jesse L. Cham
bliss, Jr., William Chambliss, Clifford
Chambliss and one daughter, Mrs,
Houston, besides brothers and other
near relatives.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed at II o'clock, noon, today at the resi-
dence in the country by Rev Mr.. Nc
Cord, while the commitment service
will take place at Oakgrove cemetery
here at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon.

ANNOYANCE TO PATRONS IS
GIVEN BY GALLERY GODS
Nuisance Should be Abated by The
Management.

The audience attending the opera
a night or two ago was greatly an
noyed, as at wellnigh every show here,
by the general disorder in the gallery
which, at times, is SO great as to dis
turb the players as well as public.
This disorder is not confined to the
colored section of the gallery, but is
just as noticeable in the white section
where men and boys smoke during the
of play talk, laugh, kick
their heels and create general disor
der. A policeman should be stationed
there-two of them, if necessary-that
the gallery gods may be held down at
least to the level of Comanche In
dams.

LAWSUIT OF DIXON WILL
Be PRESSED TO TRIAL
Americas Men Served With
Legal Process

Seven citizens of Americas We're
given something of a mild surprise,
no doubt, yesterday when Deputy
United States Marshal q. F.
Norton appeared among them and
served upon each individual the re-
quired subpoena and notice of suit
in the case of Author Thomas Dixon
for damages against them separately
and singly.
The suits are returnable to the Unit
ed States court at Macon and will be
heard at the May term, beginning the
first Monday, May /.
The defendants in the cause are
Rev. r. L. Bivins, Dr. Lansing Bur-
rows; Messrs. w. e. Brown, Lee AL
len, J. S. Bolton, c. c. Hawkins and
&c. J. Clark and heavy damages are
asked at the hands of each one
There are two suits; that of Thomas
Dixon, tie celebrated author and play
wright who demands of the defend
ants damages for having refused to
allow the presentation of his play,
Sins of the Father" at the Americas
theatre on November 10Th last, through
the action of the Americas councilmen.
The other case is that of the South>
ern Amusement Co. against the same
seven defendants.
In this case conspiracy is charged
and the two cases will be fought out
singly and separately in the United
States court at the forthcoming May
session.
The petition, among the lengthy list
of allegations, states that neither of
the defendants of the councilmanic
constellation had either seen or read
the Dixon play and, therefore, We're
not in position to intelligently form
or express any official judgement re
garding it's merits.
1t is also alleged that the play
was presented in all the larger cities
of North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir-
ginia, Georgia and other states, and
only in Americas was it denounced Of
ftcially, and prohibited.
The full text of the resolution bar
ring the play, as adopted by the Amer
icus councilmen and wherein it is eX-
coriated in most scathing terms, is
recited in the petition This resolu"
ton declared the Dixon play unfit 10
be seen by an audience of men only"
etc, etc.
Naturally, the author is riled at such
denunciation, as coming entirely and
alone from Americas.
The several defendants in Americas
profess to make light of the lawsuit,
and declare it will amount to nothing
Each one yesterday acknowledged SER
vice and will be ready, no doubt, with
able counsel to defend them, when the
case is called for trial in Macon on
May LIST
Plaintiff Dixon and the Southern
Amusement Co., are represented by the
we'll known Atlanta law firm of Dor
sey, Brewster, Howell & Holman, and
probably may have local counsel as
.sociated in the trial likewise The
case will arouse statewide interest
when it is called for trial.
The ministers are sued separately,
as are the other defendants, as citi-
zens, and not as members of the city
council, though their action was taken
in such official capacity.
