LIKELY MOVE
THE ORGAN At
FIRST BAPTIST
TO REAR OF The PULPIT
Change Will Be Voted Upon
Soon

1t is very likely that the organ at
the First Baptist church will soon be
moved from the left side of the build
ing, where it now is, to the rear of
the pulpit This change has been
contemplated for some time, though it
has not yet been definitely determined
upon.
A vote was to have been taken upon
the matter Thursday evening, but it
was impossible to get those interested
together for that purpose. There seems
no doubt, however, that this will be
done. 1t was first brought before the
proper authorities of the church sew
eraI weeks ago, but action upon tn.
question was suspended until further
investigation could be made.
By changing the organ and choir to
the rear of the building it is thought
that a much more satisfactory ar
rangement will be achieved. There
will be more space for the organ anil
the choir and the exits to the choir
seats and the entrance to the organ
may be arranged much more conven-
iently and satisfactorily.
The matter of cost as regards he
new arrangement is not at all prohib-
itory. 1t is estimated that the cost OF
the change will be about $500, which
will pay for the moving of the organ
and it's renovation. This would mean
a great improvement, which will like
ly be effected

CITY COURT WILL
ADJOURN TODAY
January Term viii Come to
Close

1t was announced yesterday by
Judge Harper at the close of the court
for that days session that with the
session held today the January term
of the city court will come to a close.
Criminal business has been compare
lively heavy this term as regards the
number of cases, but not as regards
the gravity of the offenses before the
court, which have been largely minor
misdemeanors.
The end of the court session today
will mark the close of a four-week
session, the first two of which were
devoted to civil business while the
last two dealt with criminal cases.

DEVELOPMENT
IN BOTH CITY
And COUNTY
is NOW VERY ENCOURAGING
Cost Estimated By Some At
$25O,OOO

Il believe that quarter of mill
lion dollars is conservative estimate
of the value of improvements in build
ing now going on in Americus, and to
be made this spring." said Mr.. r. J..
Perry, while discussing Friday tha
forward strides that the city is now
taking in its material progress. The
story published day or two ago ia
The Times-Recorder, showing the de-
velopment in building, was an ex-
cellent barometer of conditions here,
ard much more might have been added
thereto, as the building wave extends
throughout the city and suburbs, and
many new houses were not included.
said Mr.. Perry.
This is the opinion expressed by
many others here, all close observers
of conditions; men who have helped To
make Americus grow and who are nat
urally proud of the substantial ali
vancement made. That this is going
to be one of the best years in the city's
history none will doubt. In the addi-
tion to its varied manufacturing In
terests, the building of many resi-
dences from the modest cottage tn
stately mansions, an era of progress is
evidenced surprising that of any
previous year in a decade.
The assured construction of the
Americus, Triton and Atlantic rail-
way should prove a strong factor, Civ
ing to the city, as it wiz
give, another outlet to tide
water, besides developing a
rich agricultural territory that will
afford fine field for business that will
inevitably be brought to Americus.
The evidences of building prospects.
are by no means confined to the city,
but can be seen in the new homes thar
dot the fine highways of Sumter, radi-
ating in every direction.

FROM
OFFICER Of
Il. & v. ROAD
HAS Been RECEIVED HERE
WOuId Cooperate With PGO-
pie Here

That Americus business men are
interested in the revival of the prop
osition to build short railway line
from this city, to connect with the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
way at Byromville, just beyond Flint
river, was evidenced in the favorable
discussion of the story to that effect
which appeared in The Times -Recor-
der Friday morning. The proposition
was no new one to them, as the merits
of the enterprise had been exploited
some time ago and citizens here are
familiar with it, and the many advant-
ages that would accrue to Americus.
AS stated Friday, it would be neces-
sary to build only sixteen miles OF
railway from Americus to the river
where it would connect with a road
! seven miles in length, extending to
Byromville, and owned by the Byron
Company The Messrs. Byron are anx-
ious to thus secure an outlet to Amer
icus. Upon the subject of building a
line in that direction Mr.. d. F. Dav-
export has the following communica-
ton from President T. B. Ragan, of
the Hawkinsville & Western railway
which runs near Byromville, regard
ing the proposition of Americus to
build line either to Byromville or
Vienna.
Yours of the 11th received. In re.
ply will say, the proposition of build
ing a road from Americus to Hawkins
vile seems to be feasible, and espa-
cially since We have the road COM
pleted out to Browndale. By carrying
out the plans adopted by Mr.. Wheatley
/ and others, and building this road to
Unadilla via Byromville, connecting
with our road at Browndale, would
save considerable expense, and ar
rar gements could be made to operate
from Browndale to Hawkinsville over
The Hawkinsville & Western on a rem
tai basis. This is done in a good many
cises.
Personally, would prefer the road
to go to via Vienna, but it would take
great deal more money You might
talk with the Americus people and see
what they will do about it. But let
me say just here that railroad build
ing is no easy job 1t takes time,
money and energy, but if the Americus
people want the road, and those along
the proposed line want it, | see no
reason why We cannot get together
aHu build it."

DEFENDANTS
ARE TO TELL
THEIR STORY
NEXT Event IN TRIAL
Which May Prove Long
One

Dublin, Ca, Feb. 7.-On account of
illess, one of the jurors in the Lynn
case was excused today and the case
proceeded with eleven jurors.
The evidence yesterday and this
morning was to prove that MIR. High
tower had received a letter written
by Mr.. Lynn and signed by Mrs, Lynn.
begging him to call on Mrs. Lynn on
"a certain date, and stating. that she
needed him in her loneliness.
Evidence was introduced showing
that Mr. Hightower went to the
Lynn's on the date fixed in the Letter.
and after he had entered the house,
Lynn was seen to enter the house,
Lynn was seen to enter through the
rear door. A few minutes after this
five shots were fired and Lynn was
seen running from the house. After
this two or three other shots were
heard.
1t was shown that five shots en-
tered the back of his head and two
penetrated the stomach.
Mrs. Lynn had previously stated
that Mr.. Hightower was sitting in a
chair. and had caught her by the hand
and insulted her when she picked up
a pistol from a table and shot him.
Bullets were found in the wall
back of the place where she stated she
was standing, proving, the state con-
tends, the impossibility of standing in
front of a person and shooting him in
the back of the head, and stray bullets
imbedding themselves in the wall
back of the person doing the shooting

number of ladies were among the
spectators in the courtroom today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lynn declare tha:
their statements and witnesses will
put an altogether different phase on
the case. Both will probably go on
the stand tomorrow. There is a great
deal of interest here in the trial.
Relatives of Hightower, who was
70 years of age, and one of the best
known elderly residents of Laurens
county, engaged two attorneys to as

MINERAL RESOURCES ARE
ATTRACTING ATTENTION
BauXitG and Lime Deposits
Here

The discovery near Americus of rich
deposits of kaolin and bauxite is at
tracing attention to the mineral
wealth of Sumter county and will un-
doubtedly result in the development of
properties of this kind. Kaolin, es-
pecially, is found here in large guam
titles.
Lime, too, has been found in the
eastern portion of the county, and of
quality equal to the best. An ASSAY
of the rock, it is said, averages 90
per cent pure lime. This deposit IS
on the Sheffield-Davenpor farm on
Flint river, sixteen miles east of
Americus. A chemist sent here re-
Gently from Chattanooga to examine
this lime deposit rendered very fay
orable report regarding the quality,
quantity, and probable cost of produc-
ing the article.
1t is said that the sumetr county
lime is of the same quality as that
now being shipped from Alabama de-
posits and sold at $3.50 per ton. The
development of the Sumter deposits,
therefore, would doubtless prove high
II profitable.

ROCKEFELLER
EXAMINED BY
COMMITTEES
BRIEFLY ON JEKYLL ISLAND
AGED FiDaRCiGr Was Very
Weak

Brunswick, Ga, Feb. THE gov
erment Money Trust" inquisition
came to Brunswick today to attempt
to wrest from the trembling lips of
the aged William Rockefeller, the Sc
crets of his financial career as the
active agent of the so-called Standard
Oil group of financiers.
Representative Arsene P. Pujo,
chairman of the house money trust
committee, and Samuel Unterwyer,
the committees lawyer, with retinue
of clerks, stenographers and typists,
and a following of newspaper men,
came with the direct authority of the
ivestigating committee to beard the
72-year old witness in his longshore
refuge, Jekyl Island. After fleeing
before the squads of subpoena servers
for six months, from New York to the
islands of the Caribbean, the Stand
ard Oil magnate, palsied and almost
voiceless, agreed to submit himself
&c such examination as his physician
and lawyers would allow. After de-
flying the authority of the govern
ment and its officers for half a year,
he submitted himself to the ordeal
upon which the Pujo committee insist
ed But his lawyer, John P. CARRIER,
of New York, who came South yes
terday, was on hand, to guard the in.
terests of his aged, disease-worn
client.
Neither Mr. Pujo or Mr.. Inter
myer was inclined to subject the en-
feebled witness to a grilling that
would harmfully affect his health
Neither desired to badger the falling
old man, whose thin, throaty voice
faded to a hoarse whisper under
strain, and whose bent head and with
cred hands shook like wind bent
branches when excitement augment
ed the veteran financier's palsy. OF
these things the doctors who had ex-
amined Mr.. Rockefeller had warned
the committee, as they had cautioned
II about the possible effects of bring.
ing on a spasm of the throat that
would choke or strangle the aged
witness. Mr.. Pujo and Mr. Inter
myer agreed, that confronted with
these conditions, the examination Of
Mr.. Rockefeller, in the boudoir Of
his elegenatly appointed apartments
overlooking the sea. would be brief
and to the point
Two incidents in the long financial
career of Mr. Rockefeller, were the
object of the long chase that ended
in today's visit to Jekyl Island Mr.
Untermyer wanted to get into the
record the history of the so-called
"frenzied finance" organization of
the Amalgamated Copper Company
in 1901, and the romance of the trans
actions in Amalgamated stock in 1906
and 1907 when the securities after
