MORE TIME TO BUILD
PEACHTREE SEWER

Chester A. Dady who has the con-
tract to build the Peachtree creek sewage
disposal plant, has asked for another si,,
months extension of time in which to
complete the plant.
Chief Of Construction Clayton said he
did not expect the plant to be COM
pleted within this extension, but the
sewer committee will recommend TO
council Monday that it be given.
While Mr.. Dady gave bond to tinish
the plant in q time limit which expired
almost six months ago, the sewer com
mittee has decided it is better TO give him
more time than to attempt to- collect the
bond
Mr. Dady's excuse is the exceptionally

1891 PENSIONERS
OF STATE TO NEED
$1,146,0O0.OO IN 1918

State Pension Commissioner Lindsey
today completed his estimate Of the
pension fund for 1913. indicating that
there would be 1891 pensioners next
year, for whom $1,146,0OO would be
necessary.
At the first of 1912 there were 21,551
pensioners on the list. OF these 1906
were dropped during the year. The
1896 left received $1.1S0,0O0 from the
regular fund and $13,360 in special pen
sions
This year there are sos new appH
cants for pensions. Figuring the nor
NAL rate OF deaths, he estimates that

Confessed That
He Feigned Insanity.

Then. Uncle Jim, let me be buried
on the other side next to my little baby
won't your again pleaded Clay,
There's not room enough" was the
only reply.
Clay heaved sigh. as his final plea
was denied.
That's ali right. you1l soon be with
your Lord" whispered Rev. Chauncey
Foote, Baptist city missionary. Clay
smiled, and exclaimed:
THANK God for that-thanlS God"
The execution of Clay was probably
the most dramatic ever witnessed in
Fulton county. Beginning at 9 o'clock,
when Clay broke his silenc Of seven
months and confessed that he had been
shamming insanity TO save his neck, the
whole time Of preparation was replete
with striking and affecting incidents.
From the moment clay first opened his
lips and told his brother, Julius Clay,
he was ready to go, he talked prayed
and sang necessarily until his form
shot through the gallows trap. Having
played the game and lost. it seemed as
though he wanted to use every one Of
his remaining moments IN making up
for the time he had spent In his long
silence
In his last statement on the gallows
he talked for twenty minutes without a
pause repeating much OF what he had
already said iu the death cell in the
earlier hours

Clay met his doom with nerve OF
iron Not once did he show the slight
est sign Of a breakdown. Throughout
the grim proceedings he frequently
smiled as ne declared he was going to
heaven and there was not 50 much as
a tremor OF emotion in his voice. The
calm manner in which he went 70 death
was one Of the most remarkable fea-
lures Of the execution.

enjoin the city from closing its doors

council trained new ordinance under

On October 2 the entire nation will

once upon a time sighed to be a clown
in a circus.
In fact, had the poetic genius OF
James Whitcomb Riley not forged it's
way to the front. overcoming all
other ideals, the famous American
poet would undoubtedly have been
known as a great actor. Such was
his earliest ambition. and even to this
day. despite the fame that has come
to him as a writer of verse, he is
still enamored of the theater and
frankly confesses that he is just as

youthful days in the little town of

local entertainment and in the cast Of

some day, and that would be the

wearing big. baggy clothes and a fun

in the ring where the lady rode the
fiery horse. and he would play jokes

know who he was. and wouldn't they

TO BEGIN WORK
With Fran Repaired, Trans
portation Soon to be
Resumed.

According to Captain j. s. Pierro

In the city to assum command of the
Whitney Bros boat, the Fran. there
Is plenty of water in the Red river
to enable the company to carry on
river transportation this fall. The
Fran will be ready in about two
weeks for work, when 1t will make its
initial trip this year.
E. A Whitney, superintendent Of
the new navigation company, and his
brother. w. A. Whitney. senior mem.
Der Of the firm. are both we'll pleased
with the outlook.
Whitney brothers say they have
positively determined that water is
being drained out Of Red lake by a
run into Willow river, the special
purpose being to afford shipping ia
%cilities for logs. They say that this
channel is detrimental to shipping
and numbering interests on the Red
Lake and Red rivers. While nothing
definite has been given out. proceed
ings may be taken to compel the clos
ing Of the artificial outlet, it is said.
The Whitney brothers have also
announced that they will ask for an
appropriation of 10000 for the con-
struction of a controlling dam at the
head waters Of the Red Lake river.
They have determined thai Red Lake,
with its 440 square miles of surface,
could supply all the water necessary
to maintain navigation both on the
Red Lake and the Red river, and the
result would be a drop of only several
inches. Water covering a square mile
to the depth of a foot is all that could
flow ont OF the lake in a dav while
the period for which that much water
Is needed In the two streams is only
about $50 days in duration.
Owing to the fact that several OF
the %elvators along the river are not
in very good condition. the wheat
shipments will probably be somewhat
lighter this fall.
November Is Is about the time the
river freezes over. and consequently
the company has six weeks left for
transportation purposes.
