isn't chance-it represents ability in
every branch of the national game.
Lincoln News: Bonnie Harris, the
Denver pitcher, has been sent home to
nurse the spiked foot. Bennie's injury,
in one sense, was a stroke of good for
tune. Manager Hendricks had intend
ed to suspend the pudgy pitcher on the
ground that Harris is not in condition.
By the middle of June a pitcher should
be in shape to deliver his best goods.
If he isn't, the boss has a right to

Denver News: When you remember
Mullen last season and then look at
him this year, you wonder whether
the White Sox did a wise thing to let
him go. He only got two hits and two
walks in four times up Sunday, scor-
ing four runs for Lincoln. Mullen Is
a college coached ball player, and looks
better every time he plays.

Causes Mother, III, to Die

Natchez, Miss, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Carey

o'clock, as the result of fright causeA

to close a window shutter when her
daughter, Mrs w. D. Coleman, from

purpose, her hand clasping that Of her

hours. Mrs. Holloman was 81 years
old and is survived by one married
and two single daughters.

Of the current season, and not until

OF thirty-two prominent citizens, busi-

their better halves, anticipate with
keen interest the bi-monthly dinners
so temptingly served. The member

in April next will be an event pleas
antly anticipated.

FUNERAL OF WILLIAM SPEER
ATTENDED BY MANY FRIENDS
Floral Offerings We're Nu'
meFOuS and Handsome

The funeral services of Mr.. William
Speer were conducted yesterday after
noon from the residence of his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward C. Speer,
on Church street, the very large at
tendance of relatives and friends
bearing testimony to the love and es-
TEEN in which he was held by the peo-
pie of Americus.
The services, deeply impressive
throughout, were conducted by Rev. r.
l.. Bivins, pastor of Furlow Lawn
Baptist church, of which Mr.. Speer
was a valued member, and by Rev. J.
A. Thomas, cf First Methodist church.
The final rites were solemnized at
.Oakgrove cemetery, where the body
this popular young man was consign>
ed to earth just rs the sun sank below
the horizon in bed of gold, the
hushed stiffness of the twilight hour
rendering the scene one of more than
usual tenderness and pathos.
Many handsome floral designs were
placed upon the casket and upon the
grave. Among the score of floral
emblems were those contributed by
the Young Women's Missionary societI,
his Sunday school class, the Interna-
tional Harvester Co., Of Atlanta and a
laurel wreath of SURPRISING beauty
from the Jacksonville office of that
corporation, with which Mr.. e. c.
Speer is connected.

Committee IS
PLANNING VISIT
TO JUDGE SPEER
HIS HEALTH IS IMPROVING
Committee Of Investigation
to Take Testimony

Washington, D. c., Oct. II. - The
stage has been set for preliminary in
vestigation of the charges against
Federal Judge Emory Speer, of the
south Georgia district court. The
hearing will begin in Washington on
the first Monday in November, and on
November 10th, the subcommittee
will transfer the scene of its opera
tions to MaconO
Hearings will be held also at Sd
vannah, Augusta, Albany and other
points in south Georgia.
The subcommittee announced yes,
terday afternoon by Chairman Clay
ton of the judiciary committee, con-
sists of Congressman Webb, of North
Carolina, chairman; Floyd, of Arkan-
sas, and Volsted, of Minnesota. The
last named is a republican. The in
vestigation will be conducted under
authority conferred by the house of
representatives in the judiciary COM
mittee as a result of charges that
were filed against Judge Speer by
the department of justice, following an
exhaustive examination of his official
acts.
1t is the plan of the committee to
proceed with the investigation with
such haste as is consistent with d
fair, free and full inquiry as to the
facts, with view to making its re-
port to the house of representatives
in December. On the strength of the
committees report the house will de-
termine whether the charges warrant
impeachment proceedings. Judge
Speer will be accorded every oppor-
tunity to defend himself against the
charges, and will be represented By
counsel before the investigating com
mittee. He will also be allowed to ap-
pear in person and make statement
or cross examine witnesses. Members
of the committee expressed satisfac-
ton today at the report from Mount
Airy to the effect that the judge
physical condition has improved so
much as to enable him to ride a sad
die horse and they feel that it would
be an injustice to the judge if the in
vestigation were longer delayed

KINGS SLAYER
Will BE TRIED
FOR The CRIME
NICK WILBURN and MRS.KING
viii Answer for Death Of
Jas. King

Macon, Ga, Oct. 17.-Nick Wilburn
will be called to trial on the charge of
murder in the Jones county superior
court at Gray's next Wednesday this
date having been specially assigned by
Judge Park Wilburn is the confessed
slayer of James King, his employer.
and the husband of the woman with
whom he was madly in love.
AS she is charged as an accessory
before the fact, Mrs. King will not be
tried until the case against Wilburn is
heard
Attorney John R. Cooper represents
Wilburn and w. D. Mcneil is Mrs.
Kings lawyer. Both are celebrated
Macon lawyers who have made big
regulations in criminal cases. 1t is a
coincidence that both of them have
appealed cases set for hearing in the
supreme court next Tuesday and it 5
possible that this will delay the trials
in the Jones superior court.
Wilburn has been confined in the
Bibb county Jail ever since his arrest
two weeks after the killing of James
King, which occurred on December
IL, 1912. Mrs. King is in the Jones
county Jail.
The attorneys decline to disclose
the nature of the defenses that will be
offered for the two defendants. 1t is
practically certain, however, that Mrs
King will plead that she was forced
to acquiesce. in the plan to kill her
husband by reason of intimidation
consisting of both threats and vio-
lence.

Big GUNS OF The DIAMOND

Washington, D. C.,Oct. 17.-"Pop'
Anson, Clark Griffith, manager of the
Washington Americans, and Brownie
Burke, mascot of the Cincinnati Reds,
called on President Wilson today and
engaged him in conversation on
baseball.
Il used to tell folks during the cam
paign," said Arson to the president
that Taft was willing to run things
from the bench that Teddy wanted to
be pitcher, first baseman and every
thing, and do his own roofing besides,
but that the democrats punched hits
and won out"
We'll" laughed the president,
"there was nothing left for me to dc
then, except umpire the game"
Brownie Burke had been sizing up
the president during the conversation
"I'm the mascot of the Cincinnati
Reds" he piped. The president OBJ
served with a smile that Cincinnati
wasn't in it with the Washington
team this season"
He'd make some baseball manager,

secretary of state, thus complying with
all the legal requirements to remove
the governor
After the proceedings Sulzer would
see only a few personal friends. He
sent word that his promised statement
would be ready this evening, probably.
Friends who were with him when
he received the news of the verdict
said that he appeared to be relieved
that the suspense was over.
Everything at the executive mansion
is in readiness for Sulzer's departure
The family will leave Albany Sunday
afternoon not to return. Their imme-
diate destination, it was said, would be
some quiet hotel, probably in the
Adirondacks for a few days. Where
they will make their future home they
have not decided, but Mrs. Sulzer in
sists that it shall be within an hour ;
ride of New York.
Sulzer is of the opinion that an at
tempt to take the case to the United
States supreme court would be Of
little use, and it is doubtful if sucn
procedure is followed.
Governor Glynn was not in the
capitol when the trial ended, but he
arrived shortly afterward. A score OF
persons met and congratulated him
He proceeded quickly through the
throng and went into consultation with
deputy attorney general to map out
his future course.

IN NUMBER Of INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
AMERICUS STANDS IN FOREFRONT
The Metropolis Of South Georgia is Officially Credited
With FOrty-SeVen Industrial Enterprises By the
Georgia State Department Of Commerce and Labor

That Americus leads all Georgia
cities of her size in an industrial way
is a fact emphasized by the Georgia
department of commerce and labor,
in an official statement issued, and
which shows the comparative number
Q. enterprises in other counties as
we'll.
While the fact that Americus stands
at the forefront in an industrial way
is undenied and undeniable, the official
publication from such a source as the
state department of commerce and
labor adds emphasis thereto and is
gratifying in the extreme.
A citys manufacturing list, with its
substantial payrolls, is it's best asset,
and Americus feels pardonable pride
ir the fact that in this respect the
number of such industries here are
far ahead of those of Waycross, AL
bany and valdosta.
