"I'll take care of you all right,

Conley, saying that he would keep it

reliable source as to lend the strongest
color of reliability to them.
Officials of the motive and mechani-
cal departments of the Seaboard were
in lengthy conference at the shops here
a day or two ago, and while not gi,I-
ing out for publication the purport ')f
their deliberations, it is believed here
that it was upon the line of shop bet
terments and extensions. On this line
it may be stated that the company
quite recently, has endeavored to pur-
chase additional lands adjoining the
shops property, which would be need
ed in extending and enlarging the
yards. Additional sidetracks that are
required for the making up of trains
and general facilities for handling the
increased freight traffic may also be
built.
From a trustworthy source comes
the information that another freight
depot is to be erected on Finn street,
to the east of the present depot build
ing, which has long been regarded as
inadequate for requirements.
Altogether it would seem that the
railway company is going to put itself
in position to handle with facility its
increasing business at Americus-the
largest city on the Alabama division.
with the exception of the terminal
points, Montgomery and Columbus.
Such facilities have long been needed,
and the lack of them mitigated against
the road.
With such facilities provided, and the
very cordial relations existing be.
tween the railway company and the
city's commercial interests, Americus
will continue to do its full part upon
the line of reciprocity towards the
road.

PRICE TOMPKINS
WAS DROWNED
IN FLINT RIVER
NET TRAGIC Death MONDAY
While Attempting to Rescue
Drowning Man

Americus was greatly shocked by
the report, coming from Albany last
night of the tragic deathof Mr.. Price
Tompkins, who was drowned in Flint
river at Milford, a little town, nine
miles below Albany. while bravely at
tempting to save a friend from a like
fate.
Mr.. Tompkins sank to his death,
as did his companion, a gentleman re-
siding at Milford, when he had very
nearly succeeded in battling his way
ashore through the turbid water.
The gentleman, whose name could
not be ascertained here last night, and
Mr.. Tompkins were clasped in the
arms of each other when they sank for
the last time beneath the muddy wa
ters of Flint river.
After several hours both bodies were
recovered, and that of Mr.. Tompkins
will be sent today to his home on Lee
street, where his idolizing mother, Mrs
Bette Tompkins, and his two sisters,
Mrs. Vernon Shipley and Mrs. James
Harris, sorrowfully await it's comin..
From reports received here last
night it seems that there was a picnic
occasion at Milford, attended by the
people of the vicinity. Mr.. Tompkins'
friend had gotten far beyond his
depth and was calling for help when
Mr.. Tompkins, of athletic build and a
good swimmer, plunged in, fully clad,
to the rescue.
He had nearly reached shore when
he was seized with cramps and both
men sank to death in the presence OF
the many affrighted onlookers.
Upon receipt of the sad intelligence
here last night several of Mr.. Tomp-
kins' friends went by automobile to
Albany to take charge of the body and
bring it here today. The body will
probably be brought here by the 6:4O
train this morning or by the 2:O5 Gen.
tral train this afternoon.
Arrangements for the funeral had
not been completed last night. Mr..
Tompkins was about 35 years of aga.
Born and reared in Americus, he was
widely known here and universally es-
teemed A genial, affable gentleman,
he made warm friendships and his
tragic death will be deplored through
out south Georgia.
Besides his mother and sisters, he >
survived by a younger brother, Hard
wick Tompl ins, who at present resides
in Miami, Fla.

RIVAL FACTIONS
APPEAR Before
COMMISSIONERS
in REGARD TO BUILDING ROAD
Two Routes Into Seventeenth
District Proposed

A spirited debate engaged in before
the county commissioners Monday
morning and listened to with interest
by more than a half hundred residents
of the county, was brought about by
the proposition of the commissioners
to build a more direct highway through
the Seventeenth district to the Terrell
county line, connecting there with the
road to Dawson.
The proposed improvement is gener-
ally favored, but there are two routes
suggested by residents of that section
of the county, and the relative advant-
ages of these routes was argued by
speakers upon either side of the prop
osition.
The commissioners had first consid
cred rebuilding and Strengthening the
cid road, in use half a century, which
leaves the Smithville-Americus high
way at the Hansford farm and ex-
tends in a southwesterly direction to
Croxton's Crossroads, a distance of
probably eight miles. From Croxton's )
it is about four miles to the county
line. This, it was contended by the
people residing along that road, would
open a direct, airline route to Crox-
tons the elimination Of kinks and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-08-05

curves shortening the present mileage
very considerably
After due consideration, the commits
sioners decided to adopt the road lead
ing out by the Hansford and Hall
farms to Bottsford, and will make of
it the main road to Bottsford and Daw-
son, after having worked out the
Seaes' Mill and Brady roads.

pose of the girls body after she had
been killed by Frank.
After three minor witnesses had

witness stand by Chief of Police
Beavers and Chief of Detectives Lam

the spectators, more than 100 OF
whom were women, from the moment
he entered the court room.
In his testimony. he declared that
on several occasions he stood Oh
guard for Frank when the latter was
closeted in his Office with women.
Frank, according to the negro's tes-
timony, was accustomed to stamp on
the floor when he desired Conley to
keep watch. The negro testified tina.
Mary PAagan went to the Office OF
Frank about noon on the day of her
disappearance Shortly thereafter, ne
testified, Frank stamped on the floor
and the negro took his accustomed
post.
Only a short time had elapsed ac-
cording to the negro, when he heard
a muffled scream. A few minutes later
he was summoned by Frank, the lat
ter, according to the negros testi-
mony, apparently being greatly exci5-
ed. Conley testified that the factory

exc option of two innings and then h
had just little more steam than they
could use Manchester caught a good
game and nabbed several ambitious
base runners.
For the visitors Whitley Morse played
a slam up game. The old vet cavorted
around the initial cushion in fine style.
Mullin, stortstop by rights, caught 4
fine game behind the bat. Stewart, a
brother of our Stewart, twirled good
ball. with the exception of one in
ming. He went into the game after

Hit Her Too Hard.

Il wanted her ana sne resisted me,
Frank exclaimed, according to Conley.
You know I'm not like other men. l

Conley was asked what he thought
Frank meant by his statement that
he was mot like other men, The me-
gro described to the court two alleged
incidents which led him to the, conclG-
sion that Frank was a Degenerate.
These two incidents, according to the
negro, were observed when Conley un-
expectedly encountered Frank with a
woman.
Conley then told Of going, at
Franks DIRECTION to the machine
room, where he found the body of
Mary Phagan.
The negro testified that the girls

and fell to the floor. He called to
Frank for assistance, and together.
he testified, they carried the girl's
body to the elevator. Apparently the
current was cut off and the elevator
would not run. Frank, according to
Conley, went to his Office, secured the

The above telegram from Supt. Har-

AS previously announced, there are
sixteen men connected with the head :

operators and other assistants. Many
of these resided in Americus prior TO
the removal of the offices to Savannah,
ana to them the homecoming will be

Amerlcus was originally the head
