worked himself out Of his wet boots and

his back to the fire. From time to time
he let his eyes rest on Thomsine. and
she found herself waiting for those mo-
ments. More out of the fullness of her
gratitude she smiled shyly up at him.
Almost an hour had run it's course
since the wayfarers had stumbled drip

plodded homeward. The pig-eyed host
had gone about that business of the
promised horses.

She nodded her approval. and, with a
sigh of relief. relaxed her tired body
into the curve Of the arm that he had
laid about her. Once she lifted her
cheek against his shoulder, and then
she had found good resting place and
closed her eyes.
For a drowsy second yet, upon the
edge of sleep. she was aware OF the
smell of the wet leather of his jerkin

CRIMINAL CASES
INNUMERABLE IN
SUPERIOR COURT
DOCKET TAKEN UP MONDAY
Heavy Jail DOCket Is Ready
For Trial

With docket OF thirty or forty
criminal cases to be tried, the second
week of the current session of Sum-
ter superior court begins tomorro "
morning. The docket is unusually
heavy, and with five negro murder
cases included in the lengthy list it
insures a busy period of at least two
weeks for the disposal of the num-
ber. The grand jury has already re-
turned several indictments, and has
taken a recess for a day or two before
resuming business at the same stand.
Among the indictments returned by
this grand jury is one against Swift
& Co., and also one against former
local representative of that corpo-
ration, T. L. Brice, charged with the
sale of alleged impure meats. The
case is being prosecuted by p. A.
Methvin, state pure food inspector,
who was here yesterday.
Inspector Methvin waged an active
campaign in Americus recently in the
interest of pure food and cleaner meat
markets; and it is likely that other
prosecutions than the one mentioned
may follow at this term of court.
The first case to be tried tomorrow
will be that of the state versus vii
liam Webster, transferred TO Sumter
from Lee superior court. Webster shot
Abner Green, a Lee. county farmer, at
the Webster home during the past
summer, after Green had shot and
killed Webster's young son in his
presence. Webster pleads self-da-
fense.
Upon recommendation of the Lee
county grand jury at the recent term
Of Lee court, Judge Littlejohn granted
change of venue for the trial of
Webster, and the case will be the first
called tomorrow.

DAY OF PAYMENT
TAXES FOR 1918
CITY'S BOOKS TO CLOSE Then
Many Citizens May Regret
Negligence

Americus taxpayers have just one
day left to them for the payment Cf
city taxes for the current year, and it
would seem that a jolt of some size is
coming to a majority of those who
have overlooked this patriotic duty. 1t
is a fact that the tax books close to-
morrow night, and on the next day
tax executions will be issued against
delinquents. City Clerk Weaver has
given ample notice already, but in the
Thanksgiving rush many citizens-in
fact several hundred of them-entirely
overlooked the little matter of going
to see the tax man. Tomorrow is the
last day for paying taxes without the
entailment of the cost of a tax fl ia.

COTTON BALES
LARGELY EXCEED
1912 RECEIPTS
NEAR $4,000 IN AMERICUs
Receipts Well Ahead Of This
Date 1912

Americus' cotton receipts were near
the thirty thousand bale mark yes
terday, and with the cotton still to be
marketed here it is quite evident at
this time that the seasons receips
will be considerably in excess of last
seasons. Actual warehouse receipts
here last night, at the close of No
vember, were 29,S0O bales, as officially
reported by the scalesmen.
This compares with 26,050 bales re-
ceined to November 3Oth last season,
an excess this year of 2,750 bales. For
the 1911 crop, receipts here on Nov,
30th were 37,71O bales, while for the
1910 crop, November receipts totalel
$4,000 bales.
Americas warehouses received to-
tai of about $4,000 bales wagon cot
ton last season, and with practically
10000 bales handled already, it is a
safe assumption that receipts for 1918
will exceed those of 1912 to some ex-
tent. Considerable cotton yet remains
on plantations to be marketed, while
much scattering cotton is also in the
fields.
While receipts have been excellent
up to this time, the season for har-
vesting the crop having been the most
favorable ever known here, farmers
have sold their cotton as fast as mar
keted and the great bulk of the crop
has been sold, and the money ap-
piled to the cancellation of debts. Many
debts of the year before have been
paid.
Americus banks report collections
very satisfactory, and deposits in all
O. the local banks are larger than at
any time in several years.

SECOND WRECK
FURTHER DELAYS
Central TRAINS
PASSENGER RAN In Freight
yesterday at Scene Of Fri
days Smashup

That troubles come in punches was
a fact again proven yesterday when a
second wreck on the Central railway
occurred at the scene of Fridays wreck
near Green's Mill, three miles north
of Andersonville. This second smash
up was not very serious, however, al
though it might have been but foe
prompt work of the crew of passeE-
ger train No. 8.
This train left Americus on time a.
6: 40 O'Clock yesterday morning, and &
half hour thereafter ran into the sew
eral cars of the derailed freight train
above Andersonville, doing considera-
BILE property damage.
Cars of the derailed freight left
standing upon the trestle were struck
by the engine of the passenger train,
and the caboose splintered. The en-
CINE of the oncoming train also sus-
tained some damage, but was not de-
rallied. Passengers were given con-
siderable shake-up but fortunately no
one on the passenger train sustained
injury.
Transfers were again made yester-
day the wreck, where probably fifty
or sixty feet of trestle were demolished
in Fridays disaster, wherein fifteen
freight cars went into the ditch.
