suggested that some definite action be
taken by council.
In speaking of the Seaboaru and it's
relations to the city Mr.. Allen said
that the ground upon which the suOps
now stand, representing as he estfmaf-
er it, a real estate value of $4,000
had been granted to the Seaboard uD-
on the understanding that it could be
used by that corporation as loag
as the Seaboard railroad maintained
its shops in Americus. Further thsa
this, said Mr. Allen, the city had
granted the shops a large allowance
of free water to maintain the shops
here.
Mr.. Allen deprecated any further
half-hearted measures relative to find
ing out the intentions of the railroad
company. Council should take action
positively and Immediately in order t1
ascertain the real status of affairs and
to retain the shops here, if that is pos
sible in the event a removal of them
il contemplated The shops are very
valuable to the city, it was said, and :;
would be well worth while to keen
them here, if that is possible Action
was promptly taken on the matter, and
the message went to Norfolk, with
the results already mentioned.
AS the Seaboard pay roll means
substantial aid to the merchants E
the city, these will be specially inte1>
ested in the developments. There awe
many employees in the shops who W III
eagerly await auy further news from
Norfolk, as they have made ther
homes here with the tactit understand
ing that the shops would be a fixture
in Americas. 1t is not known when
further intelligence will be received
from President Harahan, but it is hop
ed that letter will be had from him
today

ing done under the supervision of Mr.,

farm demonstration work here.
Though the grain has not been har-
vested, except in part, it is believed
that Mr.. McGarrah will get as muca
as fifty bushels per acre on the plot

than a genuine achievement in grow
ing wheat in Sumter county under the
unfavorable conditions that prevailed
this winter 1t serves to show, accord

Sensational Case in Macon
Concluded


Macon, Ga, May 29.-Mallary Bed
ingfield was this afternoon sentenced
to serve year in the penitentiary fo1
the shooting of Ferd A. Guttenberger
His counsel gave notice of an appeal
for new trial and Judge Mathew
allowed the prisoner to be released on
a $500 bond during the pendency of the
appeal.
The jury last night returned ver.
dict of guilty of Shooting at anoth-
err against Mr. Bedingfeld, and
recommended him to the extreme
mercy of the court, This morning the

recommending that extreme leniency
be shown in the sentence.
The jury was out five hours, be-
fore agreeing upon a verdict, and
during that time visited Mr. Beding-

The note to Miss GunnNfrom Miss
Wootten is as follows:
Let me congratulate you on the
good work, as shown by your recent
report. The library certainly seems
t. be in a flourishing condition, and
am sure that the credit is largely
yours"
The next benefit to be given by th1
Americus Dramatic association will be
given for the library. This worthy
public institution has seldom had a
benefit given for it, so that the people
of Americus will be given an oppor-
tGnity of patronizing the performance
and of aiding one of the most worthy
institutions in the city.

INVESTIGATING RUMOR OF THE
REMOVAL OF SEABOARD SHOPS
City Council Took Official Action Wednesday Night and
Sent Telegram TO SGabOard Headquarters, Reply
Having Been Received to it Here Yesterday.

AS the result of a rather protracted
discussion by the members of counc!I
Wednesday night, committee was
named to send a telegram of inquiry
to the headquarters of the Seaboard al
Norfolk, Va, relative to the rumored
removal of the Seaboard shops from
Americus. A reply to this message
was received here yesterday, publica-
ton of the matter having been post
poned until some reply could be secur
ed from the Seaboard officials.
The reply received from Norfolk
yesterday is as follows.
Mayor M. M. Lowrey, Americas, Ga.
Your message relative to the trans
fer of the shops received. The super
intendent of motive power advises me
that on account of necessity for re-
trenchment we are reducing our forces
net only at Americus, but at other
points. Will go into matter and advise
you further. W. J. HARAHAN,
president"
This reply is couched in most dip
tomato language" said well known
public official yesterday. There is no
definite answer either way, though the
message of inquiry asked for such an
answer. This message may mean al
most anything. The only information
we gain from it is what we already
had, information which any one who
visits the shops may secure at a
glance. The further advice mentioned
will be awaited here with interest, as
we are stating over something we
haven't yet been able to find out any
thing definite about"
Aldermen Allen, Bell and Poole wer3
named as the committee from council
TO frame the message of inquiry to the
Seaboard headquarters. This they
did, having sent the message imme-
diately after the session of council ad-
journed The reply aforementioned
was received here yesterday, having
been sent out from Seaboard head
quarters at Norfolk, under date Of
May 20.
The message of inquiry sent -
Portsmouth bore not only the sigma
ture of the mayor, but also that of the
board of trade. 1t was felt that prompt
action should be taken relative to the
widely rumored removal of the shops,
which had come to be a matter of cur
rent gossip on the streets. The dis
cussion Of the matter in council was
precipitated by Alderman Allen, who

FOOD INSPECTION REPORT HAS
BEEN MADE TO CITY COUNCIL
City Physician ChambIiSS Placed Written Report Before
That Body at lis Last Meeting Definite Recon-
meDdatiOnS Are TO Be Worked Out Later.

A definite report, which was made
as much in detail as possible, was
placed before the city council at its
last meeting, May %, giving informa-
tlon concerning the tour of inspection
recently made by state health officia 5
in company with City Physician Cham
bliss. DR.. Chambliss said that not a
single dealer in meats or other foods
inspected had refused to better con-
ditions, but that every one had gone
to work at once to make their quar-
ters clean and sanitary The report Of
DR.. Chambliss is as follows:
At a called meeting of the board of
health this afternoon l was requested
to advise you the method by which we
were handling the present unsanitary
condition in our meat market, butcher
pen, dairy and restaurants, without
trying to make any recommendations
until we are in possession of certain
facts and figures, that we did not
have at present
Saturday and Monday last Drs.
Bahnsen and Hutchins and Pure Food
Inspector Methvin and myself In
spected all the places where foods
were handled for public uses, and
in which instances the unsanitary
conditions were pointed out to each
individual, and such recommendations
made as were necessary. This re-
quired thirty minutes, and an hour, in
some instances, and at the places that
we were able to visit the second time,
many of these recommendations were
already being carried out. Mr.. Methvin
is to make the second trip here with
in the next two weeks or at any such
time as we may see fit to request this
visit, and if such recommendations as
are necessary have not been made
charges will be preferred or businesses
closed, as he may deem necessary,
The slaughter pen of Bragg & Nor
gan is closed, and they are prohibited
from slaughtering anything for sale at
this place Also the pen of Mr.. Whit
tie is closed and the beef market of
Tom Parks on Lee street is closed and
all places are now undergoing a gen
eral cleaning, and will, as fast as pos
sible, be equipped with the necessi-
ties for carrying on their respective
businesses under these regulations.
We feel the need very much of a
meat inspector, but We think best,
when this request is made to be able
to recommend certain regulations for
the inspection of meats that we are
unable to recommend at present 1t
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-05-30

will also be necessary to make of Valua
to the city such inspector to have a
centrally located place of inspection
and certain requirements and regula-
tions governing the sale and slaughter
of meat Such recommendation W
are unable to make at present. So far
as the protection of the public is con-
cerned, We have used our very best eff.
forts, and feel that we have already
materially benefited these condition
and that such recommendation will
be forthcoming in dae time.
AS to the work of sanitary inspec-
ton, we wish to state for your infor-
nation, so far as the records sho v
that beginning with January sixth, sew
enth and eighth, ninth, tenth, four
teentb, fifteenth, sixteenth, twenty
|
first and twenty-third, March twenty
fourth, twenty-fifth and tweny-sixth; /;
April seventh, ninth and May eighth,
ninth, sixteenth, with four days in-
spection, of which no record was kept
is all the inspecting that we have had
thus far this year. This is a total OF
twenty-three days, a part or all OF
which were devoted to this work
There hase been one hundred and twen-
ty-six working days and only twenty
three devoted to the inspection of or
premises, regardless of the present
unsanitary conditions.
There has been quite a number ri
justifable complaints made against the
scavenger wagon dumping at the ditcr
running north of Ashby street. After
investigation we find this is creating
quite a stencil and is otherwise detri-
mental to the public health nearby
We respectfully recommend that yorl
do not dump any more at this place
and that same be covered over with
dirt as protection.
We find that our residence section
IS badly in need of inspection, and W.
respectfully ask that our city marshal
be able to devote more of his time TO
the sanitary work
We beg to state to this honorable
body that we find this no small un-
dertaking. The further We go the
deeper the water gets. We are put.
; ting forth every effort, not for public
ity, but to the end of bettering the
general sanitary condition, which will
give to our people much purer food
supply, and we respectfully ask
that we be given such time as will be
necessary to perfect our present plans
before bringing matters officially tC

today IN it's consideration OF the I'm.
derwood tariff bill. IL went through
with little excitement. TIA passage
causing scarcely n ripple on the
smooth waters OF the democratic

eighteen cents "A pound on raw wool
placed on the free list in the I'm
