CAREFUL PREPARATIONS
MADE TO SHOOT HIMSELF

Lawrenceville, Ga, Jan. 21-Careful
preparations marked the suicide 81
jim Ross, 60 years old, Saturday night
at his home in Logansville, near here
He rested his shotgun on a box and
seated himself in rocking chair. This
left the gun too low down, so he
secured a STICK of wood to prop it up.
Death was instantaneous, as the
heavy load of shot entered the heart.
Dependency over continued i'll health
is assigned by his family as the cause
for the deed.
Ross was a bachelor and is survit-
ed only by his sister, Mrs. B. L. Pat
terson, of Lawrenceville.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

l hereby announce myself a candi-
date for Sheriff of Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of w. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ca, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested US to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty there all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr. j,
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

MAPPING OUT CIVIC PUBLICITY

An important thing needed by Amer
icus is to pursue its publicity work III
systematic manner The years work
to a great extent should be planned in
advance. In this particular our ag-
gressive sister city Of Albany gives us
a wholesome lesson. Why can't Amer
icuc adopt this business-like policy?
Albany has called for an appropria-
ton of IS, 100 to carry on the work of its
Chamber of Commerce. This is double
the amount allowed last year, and the
activities of that trade body have been
enlarged. This is the spirit of growth
that counts. Albany is we'll pleased
with the work of it's Chamber of Com
merce last year and intends to do much
better this year by doubling the appro-
priation for that purpose.
In the following news item relative
to the plans of the Albany trade body
there should be much food for thought
for citizens of Americus:
At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Albany Chamber of Com
merce, it was unanimously decided to
enlarge the activities of the chamber
for the year 1913, and to place the or
ganization ON the same basis that has
been approved in the most enterprising
communities of the country.
A budget was prepared, which calls
for the expenditure of $500. The
budget is as follows:
Freight bureau e. E. =. -. g.. ..$1,S0O
Advertising .. 1000
Conventions e. e. -. =. :. :. 500
Insurance rates reduced =. =. 300
Flint river e. -. 49,. =. 80. 300
Colonlzatlon l,OOO
Office expenses =. .. =. 1920
Total budget. =. g.. =. $500
The directors expressed themselves
as more than satisfied with the prog
fess made by the organization during
the past year. and, upon the results ac-
complished, based their action in pro-
posing the enlargement of the sphere
of the chamber of commerce. 1t was
the opinion expressed by all present
that the freight bureau alone would
more than return to the shippers of
Albany the entire amount asked for in
the budget An expert rate man will
be employed, who will audit the ex-
pense bills and prepare the loss and
damage claims for presentation to the
railroads. In adding the freight bureau
the directors desire to explain that t
is established in no spirit of antago-
nism to the railroads but as a CONVEX
fence and facility offered by the cham
Der of commerce to its members to Sc
cure the adjustment of claims that
probably otherwise would receive no
attention
