WALKER IS
TO BE HUNG
ON MARCH |
FURTHER RESPITE UNLIKELY
Powerful Appeal Was Made
By Judge Ross

Macon, Ca, Feb. 5.-William B,
Walker has been sentenced to hang
on Friday, March 1st, and only the
mercy of Governor Brown will save
him from the gallows.
An appeal to the prison commission
for a recommendation to the governor
will be made at once in Walkers be-
half by Attorney John P. Ross, who
has labored increasingly, indefatigably
and without reward for the con-
demned man.
However, it is believed that in view
that the final sentence of the court
of all the circumstances of the case,
no leniency will be shown Walker, ami
he will be executed.
Perhaps no more powerful appeal
for mercy for mans life has ever
been made in the Bibb county court
house than Judge Ross this morning
made in behalf of Walker. For thirty
minutes he addressed Judge w. H.
FELTON, in plea for a communication
of sentence to life impriSonment-a
plea that almost moved the judge and
did affect the scores of spectators in
the courtroom.

WATERPROOFING
new RESERVOIR
At WATERWORKS
TO PROTECT WATER SUPPLY
Huge Tank is Being Water.
PROCEED Outside and Inside

Work on the waterproofng of the
city's new 25O,00O gallon concrete res
ervoir at the pumping station has been
begun under the supervision of the
city engineer, as this part of the
work on the reservoir was not il
cluded in the original contract.
1t will probably require about ten
days to complete the work that is be-
ing done. Both the outside and the
inside of the reservoir is being treat
ed with the Waterproofng process il
order that no water in the reservoi"
may escape nor any external water
may contaminate the pure water sup
ply obtained from the artesian wells.
The process of waterproofng is
under the direct management of Mi
Joseph E. Johnson, who has already
begun the work and is making salts
factory progress on it. The process is
comparatively simple one. as it con
sists in the alternate application of a
strong solution of soap and water ami
an alum solution. The soap and water
solution is applied boiling hot to the
concrete and allowed to dry, afte~
which the solution of alum in water
is applied. Two applications of the
soap and water and the alum and wa
ter solutions is said to be sufficient to
produce the desired results in the wav
of waterproofing when the process is
intelligently conducted and upon COIL
crete work that has been properly con-
structed.
The explanation of the effect #
this process in waterproofing concrete
is graphically shown by simple ex-
pertinent that has been conducted in
the office of City Engineer Ansley and
which may be seen by any one who
cares to view it. A small portion OF
the two solutions have been mixed in
a glass vessel, at the bottom of which
may be seen a whitish precipitate. It
is the formation of this precipitate,
which results when the two solutions
are mixed in the pores of the concreta,
that causes the waterproofing of the
concrete surface. In addition to lis
effectiveness, the cost of this water
proofng process is comparatively
small. so that it is desirable in every
way. 1t is said that when the ne Y
reservoir has been treated with the
solutions, it will be as thoroughly i'm
pervious to water as such structures
can we'll be made.

of great interest locally ws that of
Miss Marielen Hargrove, of this place.
and DR.. Omar F. Elder, of Atlanta,
which occurred at the home of the
brides parents here last Saturday at
l o'clock. The announcement of the
marriage came as a surprise, as it was
a very quiet one, having been Witness
ed only by the members of the brides
family.
AS Miss Hargrove, Mrs. Elder was
known as one of the prettiest and
most popular young women of this

other parts of the state. She possess
ses a charm of personality which won

BOILER Will
SOON BE UP
Foundation Has Already Been
Completed

Work has been progressing satisfa =
torily on the installation of the new
200-horsepower boiler at the local
pumping station, SO that the foundA-
tion has practically been completed
and is now ready for the reception OF
the boiler.
1t will be recalled that in taking out
the two old boilers, it was necessary
to tear away practically all of the OLD
foundation, so that it was necessary
for it to be rebuilt from the very base
upward This work required consid
cradle time, as the foundation mus
be built accurately and of such ma
terial as to withstand the intense heat
to which it is subjected.
A good part of the foundation for
the new boiler is made of concrete, So
that the hardening of this material
will require some time to insure -
being in thoroughly good shape for thu
reception of the boiler. 1t will likely
be about two weeks before the work
of placing the new boiler will have
been completed. -
Work is still progressing on the
placing of the new pump, which will
require some time longer for its COM
pletion. 1t is very likely that the
/ work on the pump and the boiler vii
be completed about the same time.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
TO Be ABOLISHED?
Sentiment Against Seems to
Be Growing

Atlanta Feb. 5.-When the fight
10 abolish capital punishment comes
up in the next Georgia legislature. -
it is sure to come, one of the Strona
arguments which will be advanced in
favor of the change is that a dead
criminal is of no economic value to
the state, whereas man condemned
to life Imprisonment will be of great
value in developing and building up
the roads of the state Under the
present system, since the abolition OF
the convict lease, Georgia benefits di
rectly from the labor of her convicts
and obtains from them an economic
value infinitely greater than the ex
pense of feeding and clothing them.
On the other hand, opponents cf
the change will argue the strong de-
terment influence of capital punish
ment, and will also contend that the
public safety will not be best served
by the mere Imprisonment of murder
ers, who may at some future time es
care, or be pardoned by the governor.
The judges of the state are almost
unanimously opposed to abolishing
capital punishment. and many have
expressed the opinion that if it were
abolished lynchings would become a
great deal more frequent

PULLMAN SERVICE
IS NOW PROVING
A Big SUCCESS
LATEST PATTERNS CARS ON
Through Passenger Travel
Being Drawn to Road

The Pullman car service on the Sea-
board, from Savannah to Montgomery
affording the people of the western
half of Georgia an opportunity they
have not enjoyed for three years, of
reaching Savannah or Montgomery n
comfort, and of making the return
trip likewise under more adVantag-
eous conditions than heretofore, is
showing signs of increasing popular
ity right along, mad there is every
reason to believe that if the railroad
keep the service on it will not be long
in making itself supporting, if not
profitable 1t has at least the virtue
of aiding in popularizing the road and
in the end should be the means Of
diverting considerable through travel
to it.
The first Pullmans put into service
were the old-fashioned ones, using gas
and in some other respects not up to
the modern ones These, though, have
been taken off and the most modern
cars have been substituted. The Pull
mans now on the run are electrically
lighted, with an electric light to each
seat, so that sitting in the seat or ly-
ing down in the berth, one enjoys the
luxury of an individual electric light
Meals are served on these cars, Sc
that travellers to and from Savannah
or Montgomery to Americus can get
breakfast or supper on the car, :
the case may be. This assists in max
ing the run a popular one, and ii i
easily apparent that before lone
practically all the travel from this
part Of the state into Savannah ana
Montgomery, or vice versa, will bc
over the Seaboard, using this excel
lent Pullman service and the good
schedule on which it is now operated
During all the bad weather of :
fortnight ago the Seabcard ran thi!
train practically on time. 1t is very
seldom that it does not pull into thi
terminal points on schedule. This i'm
provement in service on the Fourtf
division is greatly appreciated by th'
public. who have so far used it, ant
as tho facts become more widel'
! known the patronage accorded 1t vii
naturally be much greater. Up to thi
time it has been necessary for tray
elers from this vicinity to go to Mac0,
to get a sleeper late at night, NJ
! returning to get off at Fort Vale
very early in the morning and ;
change of cars. The Seaoard's neN
arrangements have made this unnec
essary and as the public becomes NOR
fully acquainted with the merits c
its service the use of it will unques
tionably increase right along.
Mr.. R. H. Stansell, the assistant gel
eral passenger agent in charge of TIN
territory. worked hard to get the in
proved service, and it is source
satisfaction to him to see its increaS
ing popularity. Not only are tn
through travellers availing themselv'
of it, but many going but matter
fifty miles or so are utilizing the seal
