Death RESULTS FROM
ROUGH SNOW -BALLING
Little Schoolgirl is Victim Of
"LOadGd" Ball

Atlanta, January 17.-Little girls
who came to school this morning in
the Seventh grade at the public school
reported that one of their number
Mamie Elder O'Shields, had been ac-
cidentally killed by a SNOWFALL, which
had struck her day or two ago di-
rectly over the temple.
The facts are little vague, as the
sister of the girl who was killed, is
said to be named Verna Elder The
story was made public this morning
for the first, and will be duly inves-
tigated at once.
One version is that she was struck
in the temple accidentally by an ice
ball thrown by some boys who were
battling with each other. Another
story is that the SNOWFALL which
struck her had stone inside it.

TO CONSTRUCT
STEEL BRIDGES
HENCEFORWARD
some MAY Be BUILT soon
Repairs on Bridges viii Be
Made Permanent

In the extensive repairs to be made
upon the county highways as the re-
suit of damage done recently by the
rains, it is likely that several steel
bridges will be constructed, more es-
pecially on the Lee street and Smith
vile roads.
On the latter road the two wooden
bridges near Wells Mill were serious
ly damaged. For some time the coun-
ty commissioners have been intend
ing to have these frail wood struc-
lures replaced with steel bridges and
the material is already at hand and
in readiness. Now that the force Of
sixteen white convicts are working
on the Smithville road it is quite prob
able that the steel bridges will be
put up Immediately.
On the Lee street road a steel bridge
may be built over the Council mill
stream, replacing the costly concrete
structure wrecked last week by the
flood of water released by the brok-
en- mill damn.

Home RAISED
FLOUR SHOULD
BE SLOGAN
NUMBER WILL PLANT WHEAT
Can Raise 1t PrOfitabIy In
This Section

Mr.. E. B. Hornady. who recently
purchased the knowlton Mill, at
Buena Vista, at the head of Muckalea
creek, was in the city yesterday.
Mr. Hornady is improving the mill
and intends to restore it's old-time
reputation as a manufacturing point
for fine wheat flour, as well as for
corn meal.
Speaking of the manufacture of
-four. Mr.. Hornady stated that it was
his intention to encourage in every
way the growing of wheat in this sec
ton, the country being well adapted
for the cultivation of specially fine
grade of that staple.
81 am told that the Buchanan broth
ers have raised 35 bushels Of wheat
to the acre on their place near
Americus," said Mr.. Hornady. "They
have simply demonstrated what old
planters hereabouts have known from
their own experience, that a wheat of
fine grade from which a sweet, nu
tritious and highly palatable flour can
be made, can be grown profitably in
Sumter and adjacent counties.
Il can remember that when | was
a boy my father raised from 40 to
45 bushels of wheat on his place in
Schley county. Other planters did
Is well in that and other counties
hereabouts. There is no reason why
as we'll.
In fact" continued Mr. Hornady,
there are a number of our present
day planters who tried wheat in the
past few years and been well pleased
with the results. Your Mr.. A. w.
Smith. | understand, had excellent
success. Others who have raised
wheat are Messrs. M. L. Lackey, Joe
buchanan and F. w. Griffin, of Amer
icus; T. j. Bass, of Leslie, and Rev.
S. J. English, R. H. Stubbs. T. J.
Wicker, A J. Pennington, Monroe
Wicker and Gordan Pagan, of An
dersonville.
Mr.. Arthur Rylander, l learn, will
experiment with wheat this year and
will probably offer prizes for wheat
growing in every county of this sec
ton. l believe we should raise all
tie wheat we need. Home raised
-four should be the slogan in South
vest Georgia"

Division IN
CENTRAL'S
BUSINESS
GOES into EFFECT AT ONCE
Passenger and Freight SGpa-
rate at AmeriCuS

To the end of facilitating the rapid
ly increasing freight and passenger
traffic at Americus, the Central raid
way has made division of the two
departments, freight and passenger.
and in future each will be under sep
arate management, though Agent J.
E. Hightower will continue to have
general supervision over the compa-
py's business here.
eMr 'Hightower, relieved of the
ticket bureau, will devote his atten-
ton entirely to freight traffic and
soliciting, which will be more con-
ducive to health and affording better
opportunity for out-of-door work.
The ticket bureau will be entirev
in charge of Mr.. s. B. Ellis, who has
been transferred to Americus from
pothan, where he has long been in the
service of the Central railway. Mr.
Ellis will be glad at all times to give
information to the public regarding
rates or schedules over the Central's
lines and connections.
The division of the freight and pas
senger departments is already effect
i've and is proving an excellent ad-
"antage in many ways.

ATTITUDE ONE TOWARD

Opinion of Progressive Southern
Banker.

Atlanta. Jan. I'm the course of
statement prepared by him at the re-
Quest Of the New York Evening Post,
william Hurd Hillyer, vice president
and treasurer of the Hillyer Trust
Company, has the following to say
about the general banking situation
and the prospects for 1912:
The most helpful feature in the
outlook in, regard to the general bus
mess situation is, in my opinion, the
reaction against hysterical attacks or
property. The American people are
beginning to realize that the large
corporations are devices for the eco.
nomic handling both Of capital and
labor, and should be drafted into tbs
public service rather than demolished
