hopes of saving the old man were

the flames within were subdued
and when the smoke cleared away
several of the 6remer entered the
building and there a grewsome
spectacle met their eyes. The
old man lay on the floor in one of
the rooms, clad in a blue jacket
and overalls, barefooted, his head
pinned between a basket and tin
pail, stiff and dead. He had his
cap on, and several people who
occasionally visited his home say
that he was in the habit of Sleep
ing in his attire. The room where
the corpse lay was filled with two
inches of water from the hose.
Nothing was done with the corpse
but the coroner DR.. Black of Tyn

negro MURDERERS
LYNCHED At WARRENTON
Mob of 200 Broke into Jail
and LyDChGd Two Negroes

Augusta, Ga, Feb. z5.-Bob Jones,
the negro who fatally shot Conductor
w. W. Thompson, at Camak, on the
Georgia railroad, Thursday night, was
taken from the Warren county Jail 1T
midnight Friday night by a mob of
citizens and lynched.
John Veazy, another negro in the
jail, charged with the murder of c.
E. Tarham, two months ago, was
strung up with Jones.
After the double lynching, the mob,
which was composed of the best citi-
zens of the community, quitely dis
persed to their homes, and there was
no excitement following.
The search for the other negro with
Jones at the time of the shooting is
now being vigorously prosecuted and
if he is captured it is probable that
he will be taken to Atlanta in order TO
prevent him meeting the same fate
as meted out to his companion.

COMPANY TO BUILD UP
FARMS HERE IN SUMTER
Mutual Benefit Life Repre-
Selted Here

The work that is being done by the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co, Of
Newark, N. j., through its agent, D.
F. Davenport, in the placing of loans
for the improvement of farms in Sum
ter county is Of great and far-reach-
ing Importance While the liberal pol
icy of this company has won for it
many friends among the most promi-
nent and successful business men Of
Americus and this section, the great
benefit accruing from the loans that
are being discriminatory distributed
under the direction of District Agent
Davenport can hardly be estimated
Mr.. Davenport by his long resi-
dence and successful reputation as a
business man of Americus, as well
as on account if his many responsible
connections, but adds genuine weight

fine SUCCESS is AGAIN
RECORD OF THIS BANK
Planters Bank of AmGFiCuS
Declares Dividend

The Planters Bank OF Americus has
just held its nineteenth annual meet
ing and elected officers for the twen-
tieth year, after exhibiting to direc-
tors and stockholders the record of
great success achieved during the
twelvemonth, a record of which all
the officers are justly proud
And upon this nineteenth birthday
of the Planters Bank, the usual div,
idend of ten per cent. upon its capital
stock of $4,000 was declared, besides
adding to surplus account
With unvarying regularity the Plan
ters has always paid an annual cash
dividend of ten per cent, and in the
nineteen years of its most successful
career has thus paid to each stock
holder of $1,000 of stock 81 900 in div,
idends, or nearly two for one upon his
original investment.
And this in addition to the added
value OF the STOCK WnlCn could scarce
be had at any price
While the capital of the Planters
Bank is only $4,000, its surplus is far
more, while its deposits reach about
the half million dollar figure. 1t is
indeed one of the substantial bank
irg institutions not only of Americus
and this section of Georgia, but of
the state at large
For this credit is largely due to its
active officers, President L. G. Coun-
Gil, Vice President Charles NJ. Coun-
Gil and Cashier Harris S. Council.
In the annual election of officers
these active agents of the bank were
again elected, of course. The board
of directors are Messrs. L. G. Coun-
ell. c. NJ Council, H. s. Council, E.
B. Council, W. E. Brown, C. E .Ansley,
