POURED CORN LICKER"
into The CREEK
Sheriff Got Busy at Express
Office

Rome, Ga, Sept. 23-While r. l..
Hicks, the owner, and several thirsty
bystanders looked on and mourned,
deputy Sheriff w. A. Kittles poured "a
pints of corn liquor into Silver creek,
at Lindale, near here. The whiskey
had just been taken from the express
office by Hicks, who was arrested as
d first step in a crusade to break uo
the whisked traffic in the mill village.
An officer was stationed at the ex-
press office all day, and as a result
Lindale spent the dryest day in its
history. The destruction of Hicks Ii
quor prevented q number of other con
signees from calling for their pack
ages, as the deputy was ready to ar
rest the people as fast as they claim
ed their shipments.

GAMMAGE Wins
CASE AGAINST
CITY AMERICUS
VERDICT FOR FULL AMOUNT
Result of Personal Injuries
Sustained

Mr. l.. o. Gammage won out yester-
day in his suit against the city OF
Americus for personal injuries sus-
tanned by having fallen into a ditch lett
open by employees of the city, and was
awarded the full amount claimed-$3,
500. The jury remained out only forty
five minutes, returning verdict for
the plaintiff for the amount sued for.
The case was tried before Judge w.
NJ. Harper in the city court of Ameri-
Gus, and consumed two days in the
hearing. The afternoon session yes
terday was taken up in argument of
counsel, City Attorney Hollis Fort and
Mr., j. B. Hudson for the city, while
Messrs L. j. Blalock and Robert H..
Berner spoke in behalf of the plaintiff,
Mr.. Gammage
The trial of the case created consid
erable local interest, while the argu-
ments of counsel were able and inter-
esting as well. Mr. Gammage, it was
alleged, while going along Dodson
street one night in January, 1912, from
the Seaboard shops to his home, fell
into ditch which employees of the city
had left open. In thus falling into
the ditch he sustained injuries which
long confined him to his home, and
from the effects of which he has not
yet entirely recovered, he stated.
In the first trial of the case some time
ago mistrial resulted. City Attorney
Fort stated yesterday that motion for
another trial Of, the case would be
made.

FARMERS MAKING

WEATHER is IN THEIR FAVOR
HustIing in Fields While
Prices Soar

Sumter county farmers are harder
"at it" this week than at any time here
tofore and the number of them ia
Americus yesterday could have been
counted upon the fingers of an arm
less man. The fine weather this week
will result in redoubled efforts to the
end of harvesting the open cotton, an
insures excellent receipts at Amer
Gus warehouses on Friday and Satur-
day. Prices just now are at the high
water mark of the entire season, and
farmers are anxious to get their bales
to market while things are yet good
and growing better. Thirteen and q
quarter cents was the satisfactory
price paid here yesterday and many
bales thus netted the owners amounts
around the $40 mark. Cotton men ex-
pect even better prices later in the
season, but 13 IA cents seems mighty
good noW-and it is.

STUDENTS FILL
THE WAYCROSS
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FALL OPENING AUSPICIOUS
Supt. Miller OOing Excellent
Work

The many Americus friends of Supt.
A. G. Miller, of the Waycross public
schools who for several years was at
the head of the Americus public school
system, will congratulate him upon the
auspicious opening of the schools on
Monday with an attendance of 1900
pupils. This number, it is expected
will be increased to 1,700.
The Isabella street school is the lat
est addition to the school system there
and represents an expenditure of ap-
proximately $4,000. Miss Willie Beck,
former assistant to Superintendent
Miller is principal of the new school.
The work which started Monday is
featured by two radical changes. An
extra grade has been added, making
the school course one of eleven, in
stead of ten years. and the fee system,
in vogue since the schools were estab-
lished, has been abolished. The ad
dition of commercial and domestic

One or both of these departments
may be added before the present year

THE NEW IDEA IN
PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS

In some cities the competitive games
of the larger boys have grown into or
ganized athletics, with playground
teams and interplayground games
and track meets. All furnish play un-
der direction.
Directed play naturally leads to in
struction through play. In many cit
les, such as ST. John. N. B., there IS
regular kindergarten work for little
children. In others, sewing, embroid-
cry, basket and raffia work are provid-
ed for the older girls, along with man
ual training and gardening for the
older boys. Springfield, O., has this.
New Orleans has regular gardens laid
out in the Fairgrounds, and prizes are
given for the best crops raised by the
children. In Glen Ridge, N. j., AMI
other cities, manual training and cook
ing are moved from the school house
to the summer playground Columbus,
c., and Holyoke, Mass, do the same
thing by teaching the older boys t.
clean the playground and erect and
repair the apparatus. At Youngs-
town. Pa, the boys dug their own
swimming pool on the playground AMI
made water wheels.
MANY novelties in methods and ap-
paratus have been brought out in va
rious part of the country East Liv-
erpool, O., has found that if hammocks
are provided, the smaller children can
be persuaded to sleep in them during
the afternoon, benefiting both them
selves and the Fairgrounds peace. Gro
quet and quoits have appeared among
the other games at Springfield, o. Kite
day is a regular feature at Akron, o.
The boys on one of the Fairgrounds
at Buffalo revived the old pastime of
silt walking and the city had hun
dred pairs of stills made for them.
Competitive athletics for the boys
brings very complete organizations in
many cities. At Jacksonville. Fla, reg
ular athletic meets and an annual cir
|ous are held.

WRESTLING With
NJ NAUGHTON CASE
slim chance FOR A PARDON
GallOWS or a Life Sentence
Think Many

Atlanta. Ca, Sept %. - AS the
time draws near for the announce
ment of the governors decision in the
case of DR.. w. ] .McNaughton, who is
now in the Chatham county Jail, con-
demned to die ON October 5, the inn
preston seems to be growing about
the capital that the chances of clem-
ency being extended to the condemned
man are very slight.
While the governor has not express
ed himself as to what action he will
take in the case, he is believed
to hold pretty strong convictions as
to the condemned physicians guilt. TT
can be stated with almost every de-
gree of confidence that there is na
hope of DIR. McNaughton receiving s.
the governors hands an outright par
don, as was recommended for him By
the prison commission.
If any form of clemency should be
granted about the best that can b.
hoped is Communication of the death
sentence to a term of life imprison-
ment In the penitentiary. This the
governor might be induced to do, ac-
cording to the opinion of some, in or
der to give the man the benefit of the
doubt, the evidence being entirely cir
cumstantial.
With the fact that the trial judge
did not see fit to do this, although .E
was within his discretion, and with
the further expressed unwiIiingness..
of the governor to interfere with the
yerdicts of juries, except where the
facts clearly demand such interfe--
ence, even the extension of this de-,
gree OF clemency on the part of tha
governor appears to be doubtful
The governor will probably an
nounce his opinion the latter part CT
this week and will give his reasons
for reaching the conclusions arrived
a. in writing.

.SLASHED SKIRTS
BLOCKED STREETS
Judge Orders the Wearer 10
Get Out

Denver, Col, Sept 23.-"If l win
out" said Mrs. Dora Funke, who was
arrested for blocking street traffic,
it will be a victory for modern dress
True, my skirt is we'll slit, but it af-
fords me grace of movement
When arrested, Mrs. Funke was
wearing a double slit skirt, which
exposed well-rounded limbs clad IN
white silk hose, surmounted at each
knee with a red rosette.
She faced Judge Stapleton this
morning on a charge of vagrancy and
was given the alternative of thirty
days in Jail or leaving Denver.
"The Lord pity anybody who tries
to educate this town in up-to-date
clothes" she exclaimed as she de-
cided to leave the city.
According to the policeman who
made the arrest, the sensational Chi
cago gown" wasn't to be compared
with the double slit one
Il should worry about what a
crabby policeman says concerning the
fall styles exclaimed Mrs. Funke
Maybe it was the rosette that caused
SO many of them to follow me yes
terday. The policeman said that / in
terfered with the traffic. / didn't see
anyone following me that was rude
about, although they were all men.
"It is freedom of movement for the
women of Denver who wish to dress
comfortably that l want. And women
will win out. They can't arrest us fol
wearing slit skirts.
Il should like to wear skirts slit
to the hip. This one is just slit to the
knee The sergeant said that it was
going too far, but I disagree with
him and l believe that all the wo-
men of Denver will stand by me in
the crusade for sensible clothes"

ment that the governor would cease
henceforth to exercise the functions o.

Further attempts were made today
| by counsel for William Sulzer, i'm

prevent the story of the governor 5
alleged misuse of campaign contribu-
tions from being told on the witness
stand.
Defeated yesterday by vote of 81
to l on their motion for dismissal of
the impeachment on the ground of its
unconstitutionality, the governor 5
counsel today offered a motion 20
strike out the three articles of i'm
peachment charging him with filing
false statement of campaign contri-
buttons, and with the use of funds for
speculation in Wall street.
The motion was prepared by D.
Cady Herrick, who argued that the
alleged offenses were not impeachable
on the ground that they were commit

clans. One of these, DR.. Michael Earl

of which the prisoner was assistant rec
