POPE LUNCHES
With Sisters
And BROTHER
HIS CONDITION is BETTER
Slept Well During Part Of
Day

Rome, April 19.-For the first time
since the beginning OF the pope's ILL
ness, Angelo Sarto, his brother, was
allowed to see him this morning.
Prof Marchiafaya had not permitted
the visit during the critical period
of the pope's indisposition and the
doctor insisted that he be present to-
day, as he feared the emotion caused
by the meeting between the two
brothers might have bad effect on
his patient.
Angelo Sarto, who is still sturdy.
erect and stalwart, despite his age,
approached his brothers room with
trepidation and was overcome with
emotion as he entered. Both were in
tears and Angelo was only able to
mutter between his sobs the Vena-
ton dimutive of the pope's name,
saying Dear Bepi, Dear Bepi" The
brothers started talking about all
kinds of subjects, but Professor Mar
chiafava gently interviewed and
forced Angelo Sarto from the room.
A rumor was circulated in Rome
soon afterward that the pope had
suffered a fainting spell as a con-
sequence of the emotion caused by
the visit of his brother. The report
was denied at the vatican.
Professor Ettore Marchiafava and
DR.. Andra Amici, the papal physic-
ians, announced today that owing to
the continued improvement in the
popes condition only one bulletin a
day would ow be issued from the
sick room.
This mornings bulletin read as fol-
lows:
His holiness passed a very tran
quill night, with his temperature
standing at GIL His coughing spells
and expectoration have further di.
minished and his generai condition is
stronger and better. Owing to the con-
tiIued amelioration, only one bulletin
daily will now be published
hTe pope slept ranquilly for two
hours this afternoon
The pope after his sleep took lunch

AMER|CUS RESIDENT INJURED
IN WRECK ON THE CENTRAL
Seventeen People We're Hurt Though Only Two Seriously
Wreck Occurred Near LOVejOy

Considerable interest was felt III
Amer icus yesterday morning regarding
the wreck of Central railway passen-
ger train the night before near Lovejoy,
twenty-five miles south of Atlanta, a.
party had left Americas for Atlanta
in the afternoon and were aboard the
derailed train
Among these were Miss Maybelle
Hawkins, of this city; Mrs. Leroy G.
Henderson and two children, of Knox
Vile, Tenn, guests here recently r.
her mother, Mrs. w. H. C. Dudley; Mrs
Lila Brooke and Miss Lula Brooke, OF
Chattanooga, relatives of Mrs. Dudley
who were returning home from
visit here; and Mrs. Henry ]. Fite,
of Birmingham, the guest recently OF
Mr.. and Mrs. e. L. Bell here.
While the wreck was a serious one,
five coaches having been derailed, none
of the passengers or crew sustained
fatal or very serious injury. Messages
were received here yesterday by Mr..
c. C. Hawkins from his daughtr, Miss
Maybelle Hawkins, and by Mr.. Macon
Dudley from his sister, Mrs. Leroy G..
Henderson, announcing their safe ar
rival in Atlanta.
Seventeen people were hurt, only
two seriously, when Central of Geor-
gia passenger train No. Is, northbound,
from Macon to Atlanta, was wrecked
one mile east of Lovejoy, rs miles
north of Macon, Friday night. Five
coaches were overturned when the
train struck broken rail while going
around a curve in small cut.
The two most seriously injured are
Joseph p Hamilton, 100 Forsyth street,
Macon, and B. NJ Gordon, newsboy
for the Parker Railway News company
Mr. Hamilton received an injured nose
and serious wound in the head. The
Eewsboy had his left side hurt and his
left hip slightly bruised.
Mrs. ]. T. Mathews, of Butler, an
invalid, occupying a cot in the baggage
car which was overturned, is said o
have suffered no apparent injury.

ton, appeared in that paper.

Unfinished work of the past Board
Of Trade in Inducing the railroads ID
establish tourists rates here, was also
taken up by us, and a further effort
has been made to have these rates es-
tablished.
In the matter of entertainment, we
have not been backward; last June We
entertained the State Convention Uf
Dentists, giving them an automobile
trip to Andersonville Prison Park and
Cemetery, preparing a barbecue for
them, and making all necessary a.
rangements for their accommodation
while here.
The State Firemen's Convention was
also held here and their entertainment
was carried out along the same line
We were instrumental in bringing
the enormous crowds to this place for
the base ball games on the Fourth Of
July, and secured the services or
the Shellman band for that occasion.
We also had a monster Woodrow
! Wilson celebration, which brought
large crowds to the city.
The Third District convention was
also held here, and on another occas-
ion some prominent officials of the
rail road companies were entertained
We will now mention some of the
business houses which had their in
ception during our administration:
Under our administration the Southern
Art Metals Co. was organized and To-
Gated here. This corporation has a
capital stock of $4,000, and employees
something like so or more people.
|
! Through our efforts stock was raised
for the Cannon Screen Co., which
company now has a capital stock or
$4,000 and employees % or more peo-
pie.
Waldens Business College was in
duced by us to move from Austin,
Texas, here. This college should GER
tainly receive the support of the
members of the Board of Trade, by
reason of the fact that young men de,
string to take a business course are
enabled to do so, without having .
leave this city, and it brings young
men here from other localities.
Through our efforts, those owning
Sumter County live stock were brought
together, and an exhibit of live stock
raised in this county was sent to the
State Fair at Macon, Ga.
We raised $4,000 for the building
of new railroad into Americus,
which road is known as the Americus
Triton and Atlantic. 1t is unnecessary
to make any remarks relative to the
benefit to be derived from new rail
road
We were the prime movers in the
Organization of the Empire STATE
League, and through our efforts the
Americus and Cordele clubs were Or
ganized.
We scured a location here which
will be used as a demonstration farm
by the Central of Georgia Railway Co.
The matter of prohibiting the South
ern Railway Co. from cancelling their
commodity rate on cotton seed oil pro-
ducts from Americas and other points
was also taken up.
Matters upon which we are now
working are: First, A reduction Cf
fire insurance rates for Americus. and
we expect to see some results from our
work along this line in the near fu-
ture. Next, we are working on the
holding of County Fair for the COM
ing fall, and hope to carry this through
successfully. Also a Great White Way
for Americus and we are still at work

Track Dogs to The Scene.
The wreck is believed to have been
due to broken rail, though reports
were in circulation that there were in,
dications of train wreckers having been
at work. A call was sent to the fed
eral penitentiary in Atlanta and an a,t-
/. tomobile filled with track dogs was
rdshed to the scene of the wreck in
an effort to track down the guilty par
ties in case there has been foul play.
Engine Remains on Rails.
Though the train was going at possi-
bly, 35 miles an hour and was Just
rounding a curve in cut one mile
this side of Lovejoy, the engine and the
Nashville express car remained on the
rails. The mail car, baggage car, two
day coaches and the parlor car left the
rails and turned completely over amt
all were well filled with passengers at
the time. How more escaped serious
injury and death has not explained.
News of the wreck reached Macon
shortly after it occurred and the local
wreck train was dispatched from Ma
con to the scene. Trainmaster Mercer
and Special Agents Gress and Neigh
bors accompanied the train.
Relief Train From Atlanta.
From Atlanta a wreck crew and
special train bearing doctors and
nurses was rushed to the scene and le
was stated that all of the injured wouId
be taken to that city.
The stretch of track on which the
wreck occurred according to Pas
senger Agent Blount, of the Central
is the best that can be found on the
entire Central system. The rails are
heavy and it is favorite place with
engineers runnings between Macon
and Atlanta to make up lost time.

To The Poolers of Ohio County.

| have just received a letter from
Mr.. l.. N. Robertson of Daviess Co.,
and below are some extracts.
Yours of the list to hand and in
reply will say that / have delivered
the list of poolers but am fearful
that We are not going to accomplish
anything much, as the American To-
bacco Co. is simply refusing to take
the Ohio county tobacco while some
of it is being worked through some
way and have informed our grader
to look after it as far as possible.
The Imperial is raising big kick about
the Ohio county tobacco. write you
this 80 that the situation may be put
before you fully; that you may put
your people on their guards and know
before they start what the situation
is"
In view of this would advise tho
poolers of Ohio county to bring the
tobacco to Hartford and prize 1t, as
we feel sure this is the best plan to
pursue. / write this to our people that
they may know so that none can be
taken advantage. of by letting them
deliver their tobacco in Owensbroo
and be forced to sell over the loose
leaf floor. Mr.. Massie agreed to take
Ohio county tobacco until his con-
tract is filled.
BY all means don't be gobbled up
by such unjust tricks, and let's have
a little independence, and hold for
what We feel is justice.
