Mr.. Howells and Reporters

Mr.. Howells does not shun publicity, and hs
greatly to enjoy favorable press notices of his
books and owns to having carried them about like
love letters. Having once been a newspaper man,
he has soft place in his heart for the reporter
journalist who sought interview with him
not long ago received this reply:
what there is left of me to be interviewed
is at your service"
Discriminating readers who have felt the
charm of "a Modern Instance" and have sympa-
thized with the mute yearnings of Sias Lap
ham, enjoy reading a newspaper page in which
Mr. Howells talks of his work, and they see moth
ing immodest in It. The present writer never
so obviously affect to ignore their own work and
refrain from speaking about 1t, for nearly all
writer's are proud Of their literary performances
and of whatever distinction they may have gained.
Stevenson had no timidities of this sort. Il
know what pleasure u.s. he says frankly, efor

not vain one. The silly statement made by
w. E. Henley that Stevenson could not pass
mirror without looking into it proceeded from a
heart full of the jealousy art Stevenson was
not much photographed man, but have seen
an album of pictures of him taken amid various
scenes, and in none of them was there anything
like pose. In many of the photographs his head
is modestly lowered and his eyes are on the

in a group you would hardly single him out
as the person whom the photographer most
wished to present

Already there is actually subscrib-

FORT THREE FAST GAMES
Wilder TO Pitch One Game
For Locals

Dothan will be here tomorrow for
series of three games with the local
team, the first of the series to be play
ed tomorrow afternoon. The other
two games will be played on Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons.
The Dothan team will come even
stronger than it was when it played
Americus in the Alabama city during
the week. Several places on the team
to be brought over by the visitors have
been strengthened, so that they will
be more formidable than ever for the
Champs.
1t will please the local fans to know
that Baby" Wilder will be in the
box during one of the games for the
Champs. Wilder will be in most ex-
cellent form, as he has just finished
the season with the University OF
Georgia team and is pitching the best
ball in his career on the diamond.
Some snappy baseball is promised
the fans, as the Dothan team is the
only one that has administered q
crushing defeat to the locals during
the entire season. They will come pre-
pared to take the Champs scalp dang
ling at their belts, so that the war
fare at Dudley Field tomorrow after
noon and during the two succeeding
games will prove hot and furious.

Fifteen thousand dollars was the
consideration in the sale yesterday of
the former Price place, out on the
Southside, fronting Lee street road
and Elm avenue and extending back
eastward to the Seaboard railway, con-
tanning in the aggregate about forty
five acres of very desirable property.
The sale was made by the Allison
Realty Co., of Americus, to Mr.. H. H.
Halliday, president of the Carolina De-
Nelopment Co., with headquarters It
Greensboro, N. C. Mr. Halliday came
to Americus prospecting and is high

The price at which the AllisonReal-
ty Co sold the property well reflects
advancing values in realty here. Less
than a year ago, Mr. r. L. Mcleod
bought the Price place for about ST.
600 and clears handsome profit up
on the investment, even after deduct
ing the cost of some improvements
made.
Mr.. Halladav states that the forty
five acres will be utilized at once +

CHILDERS IS
TO BE TRIED
ON TOMORROW
THIRD CONSECUTIVE trial
200 TdIGSmGn Have Deem
Summoned

Interest this week will center upon
the trial of the Childers case, and, for
the third time within the brief space
of eight months, the details of the
tragedy whic in August last shocked
the little town of Smithville and the
state as well, will again be rehearsed
before the bar of justice.
The case has been assigned for trial
Monday morning, and the proceedings
will be ofabsorbing interest, al
though, so far as the public is ad-
vised, no new evidence or features will
be adduced either by the state or de-
fense.
Two hundred talesmen have been
summoned, and from this number the
twelve who will determine the fate of
Childers will be selected. 1t is ap-
pretended that some time will be re-
quired in selecting the jury, due to the
fact that many citizens are disquali-
| fed, or will be stricken for cause
Many of the 200 drawn for jury
duty probably heard some of the sworn
testimony in the second trial in De-
ember and may have, therefrom, form
ed and expressed an opinion relative
to the guilt or innocence of the de-
tendant which, of course, would bar
them from serving as jurors.
Judge T. A. Littlejohn, who presid-
ed at the two former trials of the
| Childers case, the first in Lee court i'll
October last and the second time in
| Sumter court in December, Will
again preside in this third hearing of
this sensational case.
Since the second trial in December
two of the attorneys representing the
state, Messrs. Dudley Ragan and c. H.
Beazley, have met tragic deaths. MIR.
Ragan died from gunshot wounds ac-
Cidentally inflicted, while Mr.. Beaz-
ley died a few days since from burns
sustained from an overturned lamp.
The state will be represented by
Solicitor-General James R. Williams
and Mr.. A. ]. Wilkerson, while Mr..
| IChilders will be represented by Messrs.
Frank A. Hooper, L. j. Blalock, J. B.
Hudson, w. w. Dykes and James A.
! Hixon, the latter appearing in the trial
of the Childers case for the first
time.
Several days, it is thought, will be
consumed in the trial. The defendant,
! Mr.. Childers. has occupied quarters
in the Jail here since the second mis-
trial in December last, not having
made application for bail

SECOND CAR OF PEACHES

ed tonight at the First Methodist
church by the pastor, Rev. o. B. Ches-

length with that topic.
All the ministers of the city declar-

tainment as are represented in box
ing bouts. Immediately after the
bout, Mr.. Chester expressed himself
as surprised and chagrined" that
such thing had been permitted.
The people of Americus are famil-

Chester and his endeavor to preach
without sensationalism what he thinks
is right. 1t is his endeavor to speaE
soberly and religiously on such sub
jects, and, as he says, with tende.
love for and great patience with every
body. 1t is in this spirit that he will
talk tonight.
At the morning service he will
preach to the Woodmen of the World

the sermon will be Gods Challenge
