HOUSE FOR
Lee Street
ON FORT PROPERTY HERE
Modern Building LWiIl be
Constructed

Messrs. Allen and Hollis Fort, rep
resenting the Fort estate, have deter
mined fully the matter of erecting
large and modern apartment building
on Lee street, and yesterday awarded
to Mr.. T. F. Lockwood the contract for
plans and specifications for the hand

burned last August 1t will be in ev-
cry respect modern twenty room
apartment house. The Messrs. Fort
stated yesterday that the building con-
tract would be given out as soon as the
plans and specifications desired were
accepted, and that they hoped to see
the apartments completed in August, if
rot earlier. The structure will be fit
ted with all conveniences for house
keeping, and as place of residence
will be very desirable
The building of the Fort apartments
will mean considerable investment,
and, besides, will add its quota to need
ed homes in Americus for which there
is ever an increasing demand
Besides this -c6mmodious dwelling
which will afford homes for four fam
lilies, there are many handsome private
residences in course of construction
here at present to say nothing of the
very large number of attractive cot
tages and bungalows in course of
construction, or but recently comple--
ed, not in one locality, but over the
city generally.
Among the larger homes IN course
of construction are those of Mr. John
Sheffield. Mr.. ]. E. Poole, Mr. T. L.
Bell and Mr.. A. C. Crockett, while
work will be started shortly upon the
large residence of Mr. Crawford
Wheatley ON the Eastside. A dozen
smaller residences are now nearing
completion on Harold and Jackson
avenues and Hill street
The Southside, too, is looming up
with new and modern homes. Messrs.
J. B. Hooks and n R. Andrews ha e
just completed two very attractive
bungalows on the extension of Gless,
ner street, and will make other i'm
provements in that locality as well.

who disappeared here on April 3, ex-
pressed the opinion today that as
soon as they receive information for
which they have cabled to Memphis,
they will be in position to close up
the case.
The detectives say they sent no
cablegram to Mr. Martins brother, N.
Hill Martin, advising him to abandon
his contemplated voyage on the steam
er Campania which sailed from New
York Wednesday for Liverpool.
Having to their own satisfaction
eliminated the suggestion of foul play
the authorities at Scotland Yard to-
day abandoned the idea of forcing
Martins safe deposit vault. The po-
lice say the case is now a matter for
the receiver of the companies of which
Martin is member.
Officials of the Union Castle Steam

POPE IMPROVING
And LAUGHS AT
HIS PHYSICIANS
ARISES FROM HIS SICK BED
Himself Declares His COndi.
tiOR Better

Rome, April II. - Prof. Marchia-
tava and DR.. Amici today again i'm
pressed on the pope the necessity of
complete rest, informing him that
any activity would create obstacles to
his recovery.
Your commands shall be obeyed, +"
said the pope smilingly.
Shortly after the doctors had LEFT,
however, the sun broke through the
clouds and flooded the pope's bed
chamber. The pontiff then declar-
ed that he could not endure his bed
amy longer. His restlessness increased
and he insisted on rising.
His attendants felt obliged to give
way to his wishes. His valet proceed
ed to help him to rise, but the pope
refused his assistance, saying that he
could help himself, although he ad-
mitted that he was feeling somewhat
weaker.
The pope is so much better, accord
ing to reports from the vatican. that
if present conditions continue, the last
bulletin about his health will be pub
lished by the physicians tomorrow.
In this the doctors will declare that
they are confident of the pontif's
recovery.
The pope himself says that he is
better. When Dr. Amici visited him
at noon today and asked him how
he felt the pontiff replied:
This is the first day since my first
relapse that feel generally re-
lieved"

At THE CLOSE OF The TERM
Twelfth Night" Will Probably
be Produced

Students of the High school will
again enter the field of amateur thea
tricals at the close of the term, when
they will app, ar in a play for the ben
eft of the fund that is to be raised to
equip the High school stage.
Though definite decision has not
yet been made, it is very likely that
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night" will
be the play to be produced. The per-
formance will be given at the close of
the school term in May. The stu
dents of the school are highly elated
over the prospects for the play.
1t will be recalled that it is not the
first attempt of the High school stu
dents to produce Shakespearean dramf
here. Under the supervision of the
High school management "The Me-
chant of Venice" was presented in a
manner that reflected great credit upon
the young players. 1t is hoped that
an even better production of ''Twelfth
Night" can be arranged.

YOUNG CORN GROWERS BUSY
They Have Started EARLY on
Their Prize Acres

If an early start at the work of cul-
tivating their prize acres means any
thing to the youngsters who ar COM
peting for the prizes offered to the
Boys Corn club of Sumter county, then
these young men will make new re-
cord for corn culture this year.
Recent reports from Mr. Davd Wicker,
county agent for the United States gov
ernment farm demonstration work,
show that the members of the club
have entered the race with enthusiasm.
They are already at work getting their
prize acres ready for planting, many
of them having already done mucn
work in the way of preparing these
acres.
There are twenty-five members of
the club who will compete actively for
the prizes this year, which will be even
more valuable than those offered last
year Mr.. Wicker is giving much of
his time to personal visits to the
members of the club and in this way
is aiding them greatly in the work.

approval. And thus the matter stands

COTTON CROP
IS INJURED
SOME OF The PLANTS KILLED
According to Reports of Some
Local Farmers

In the opinion of Mr.. ~ A Ray and
Mr.. e. C. Parker some damage has
been done to the young cotton crop
here by the recent cold. The amount
of the damage is matter that is haryi
to determine at this time.
A large portion of the crop planted
two weeks ago was just at the point of
termination or slightly above the sur-
face, and where this was the case the
cotton was killed and replanting will
be necessary. Where the young plants
had attained any considerable growta.
particularly upon red lands, replanting
will not be necessary.
Fortunately for the farmers, S1e
planting season is yet early, and the
work can be done better now than had
the cold come at later date.
One serious problem confronting the
farmers here is the unusual scarcity
of planting seed. A smaller quantity
was saved than in previous years, and
with such large portion of the crop
to be replanted there will be much
trouble experienced in buying seed
Usually the oil mills here have plenty
o. seed, but such is not the case this
season. ii
The growing oat crop in Sumter was
not hurt by the recent cold weather,
but will sustain considerable damage
from rust, which has appeared in sew
eral localities

FLANDERS TRIAL
ENTERED upon
At SWAINSBORO
CASE IS A SENSATIONAL One
Fate Of DR.. MCNaughtOn Hangs
As Result

Savannah, Ca, April 17.-Probably
the most anxious and concerned man
in Georgia today is DR.. w J. Nc
Naughton, an inmate of Chatham
county jail He is anxious and con-
cerned because at Swainsboro, in Enl
anuel county this afternoon there was
begun trial, the result of which
means liberty OF confinement for Dr.
McNaughton. 1t means more than
that; his very life depends upon the
result of the trial.
The party being tried is Mrs. Matte
Flanders, who stands charged with Dr.
McNaughton with the murder of her
husband, Fred Flanders, several years
ago. The physician has been in Jail
since a few weeks after the death of
Flanders, when Flanders body was
disinterred and an examination made
by experts to see if traces of strych-
nine could be found in bis abdomen.
The. experts say it was found there.
DIR. McNaughton has been tried but
once, but his case has run the gamut
of all the courts, and now his fate
largely depends upon tho result Cf
Mrs. Flanders trial.
Governor Brown has repeated J
refused to permit the hanging of Nc
Naughton until Mrs. Flanders can be
tried. The woman has never really
been in Jail because of her alleged
connection with the crime.
Although arrested she lived with
the family of the sheriff at the county
Jail at Swainsboro and was never put
in a cell.
Mrs Flanders protests her iuno-
cence in the most vehement manner.
She declares she had nothing to do
with the alleged murder of her hus-
band. She has been trying to get a
trial for several months past but the
state has put off her case, until il
was found that Governor Brown was
determined that nothing should hap
pen to DIR. McNaughton until her
trial had come to an end.
DR.. McNaughton will not be car
ried to Swainsboro to testify either
for or against Mrs. Flanders. The
reports that he was to be taken to
the scene of the trial seem to be un-
founded.
The defense does not want him,
and the state declares it does not neel
him Mr.. R. Lee Moore, the solicitor
general of the circuit in which Eman-
uel county is situated, is to prosecute
Mrs. Flanders. Dr. McNaughton was
convicted when Alf Harrington was So
licitor general Mrs. Flanders trial
is to start this afternoon, unless there
is further postponement, which is not
at all likely, and it is expected to be
concluded Saturday morning.
This is the re lson DR.. McNaughton
waits with so much anxiety for news
from the Swainsboro court.

Washington, D. G., April 1.-THE
Washington dispatch in the Savannah
News of the 18th inst, eliminating
Pratt Adams as district attorney anil
Joseph S. Davis as marshal, is alb
cclutely unfounded, both as to Adams
and Davis, and as to Senator Bacon
himself.
1t is learned definitely mere today
that the selection of a marshal has not
been decided upon, and Davis name IS
still among those being prominently
considered
Senator Bacon has expressed no IN
tention of abandoning consideration OF
Davis name.
He has announced his purpose to
present MIR. Adams name to the pres
ident, and it is still his intention to do
this.
The Story in Question.
The dispatch to the Savannah News,
referred to, was as follows;
Tow very definite things regarding
Georgia patronage were learned today.
u. S. Davis of Albany, Senator Ba-
cons choice for United States marshal
for the southern district of Georgia,
will not be ndorsed by Senator Bacoh,
because of opposition to Davis by
Senator Hoke Smith,
"A Pratt Adams, of Savannah, has
been eliminated from the race for
United States attorney for the south
ern district of Georgia.
~. S. Davis has always been an
anti-Smith man. He has taken off
his coat every time Senator Smith has
sought Office and worked for the oppo-
sition. Senator Smith has given SEN
ator Bacon to understand that he win

gave the Pirates all their runs. Viii
son pOked a pair and Hyatt one. The.
last time HUMPHREYS was defeated
was in Pittsburgh, when this same
Hyatt cracked a home run in the
ninth inning with a man on base.
Leach, Evers and Schultz punched
some more hits yesterday to win.
Schulte's blow was a double that
counted two, and Evers wopped a
single and triple, the latter driving in
two runs. Leach singled twice.
Tinker brought his Reds to town
today for four games, and the Cubs
want revenge for the drUbbing they
received in Cincinnati last week. The
old Cub battery, Brown and King,
will face their former pals in one of
the battles. The first game of to-
mOrTOw's dOUble-header will start at
1:3O. Saturday winds up the visit of
the Reds, and the Cards will appear
for a dOUble-header Sunday. Six
games in four days will be a heavy
strain on the local pitching staff, and
if the Cubs cop four starts they viii
be doing all that can be asked.
The other day we said it was about
time Joe Benz started a game for
himself. The Batesville butcher
started yesterday, and it took two
more pitchers to finish the mess. De-
troit climbed Benz in the fourth in
ming, and before Doc White could get
the side out the Tigers had rolled up
seven runs.
Kid Smith of Birmingham pitched
the final four innings for the Gala
hans, and gave only one hit. He has
lost his nervousness, and faced Cobb
and Crawford without a tremor.
Bodie got a triple and two singles,
Collins a triple and single and Kuhn,
who relieved Schalk when Smith
went to the mound, cracked a double

chance for the Sox to rally in the
ninth.
Christy Mathewson pitched his
regulation game. He was stung for
Is hits, but when the Phils needed
runs they were forced to pop soft
flies. Chalmers and Moore were
whaled by the Giants. Burns, Shafer,
Paskert and Magee each pOled three
hits. Doyle poked a homer with two
on.
Brooklyn got only three hits in the
third inning off Tyler and NOyes, but
passes and errors let them count nine
times. Regan played with the Braves,
letting them hit after he was out of
danger. Wheat raped four hits and
Stengel three.
Harter slipped in the eighth inning
and the Reds made a bunch of errors
behind him, st. Louis winning the
game with three runs. Higgins used
his usual three pitchers, Burke start
ing. It was punk game.
The Yanks batted Bender out of
the box IN the ninth, but the MaCkS
had too big a lead, swatting Ford for
13 hits. Collins got triple and two
singles, Schang a double and homer
and Baker three singles. Ford lost
his first game in six starts.
Boehling, Griffth's recruit left
handler, won his seventh straight
game, banking the Red SOx with
three hits. Washington punched hits
off MoseIy with Boston errors. Nor
gan cracked a double and two singles.
Fred FaIkenberg won his first

Browns in the second game Of a dOu-
