WOULD DROP GRAND JURY.
Judge Believes 1t Has 0utlived Its
Usefulness.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Jauary 10.-In
Court today Presiding Judge Fuller
took decided stand in favor of abol-
ishing the grand jury. In charging
that body he said
The grand jury is an ancient and
honorable institution which had its or
igin in the hoary past and at one time
was undoubtedly useful as a protective
barrier between tyrannical sovereign
ty and its humble subjects, but for my
part l am learning to be convinced
that, in it's present form at least, it
has outlived its usefulness and ought
to be abolished or modified.
ut seems to be that the committing
Magistrate the District Attorney, the
trial Judge and the Jury are, or
should be, a sufficient safeguard for
the protection of innocence against
tyrannical persecution or malicious
prosecution

AUTO TRUCK MADE
A BEAUTIFUL RUN
Down Jackson Street TO a
Small Fire

One of the prettiest runs ever made
by the auto truck here was accom-
plished yesterday morning just before
10 O'Clock when an alarm was sent in
from the residence Of DR.. c. p. Davis,
on Jackson street.
Straight away down Jackson street
with almost a clear way sped the
truck, having gained sufficient momen-
tum from the run down the street
from Lamar street to carry it almost
to the hill on the other side of the
Seaboard tracks.
The fire itself was a small blaze, not
half as exciting as the run by the
department. Only small damage was
done to some Of the furniture and fur
nishings, the blaze having been ex.
tinguished by Mrs. Davis before the
truck arrived.

MRS. GATEWOOD
HAS GONE TO
GREAT BEYOND
She PASSED CALMLY AWAY
At Her Home Here Last
Evening

Mrs. John R. Gatewood passed away
at o'clock last evening at her resi- E
dence on Elm avenue, the end follow
ing an illness of many months dura-
ton. The death of this good woman,
therefore, was not unexpected to her
family and friends, though none the
less deplored among all here. The
greater portion of her long and useful
career had been passed in Americus,
where by her gentleness and woman
ly worth she had endeared herself ID
all, and by whom she was generally
and esteemed.
Since the past SUMMER Mrs. Gate
wood had been confined to her room,
an invalid, but her sufferings were
borne patiently and no murmur escap-
ed her lips. The end was equally as
calm and peaceful.
Mrs Gatewood was sixty-seven years
of age, and is survived by large fam
lily connection. Besides her husband
she leaves thre edaughters, Mrs. John
Ledbetter, of Eatonton; Mrs. R. s.
Pryor and Mrs. Lou Fitch, residing
here, and two sons, John R. GatewoOd,
of Somerset, KY, and E. D. Gatewood,
of Americus.
Three brothers, Messrs. Jesse Bar
ing, of Texas; Mr.. R. w. Barring and
Mr. Thomas Broadfield, of Eatonton;
three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Eldridge,
Mrs. Lou Furlow, of Americus and
Mrs. Martha Moseley, of Valdosta, sur
yiye her, besides many other relatives
in Americus and Sumter.
The funeral services iwll be conduct
ed this afternoon at 2:SO o'clock from
the family residence. Friends of the
deceased, and of the family, are re-
spectfully invited to attend. Rev. /.
A. Thomas, pastor of the First Meth
doist church, wilt conduct the funeral
services.

REPUBLICAN APPOINTMENTS

Senate

Washington, d. c., Jan 10.-Con-
frmation of some of President Taft's
recent appointments is expected in tho
senate within the next week.
Democratic leaders working on n
plan permitting endorsement of soma
of the appointments without approv-
ing all, believe they will reach basis
to confirm some of the nominations
without acting on those they regard
as most Objectionable.
Suggestions of a republican filibus-
ter against all legislation, including
appropriation bills, unless the demo-
Gratis confirm all appointments, havo
met objection by republican leaders.
on the ground that the republican adj
would suffer most if APP
preparation bills were held up.
1t is expected that the republicans
will not agree to any formal COM
promise before going into executive
session, but will endeavor first to
force action on all appointments. Fail
ing in that, some basis of agreement
may be arrived at.
Executive session will undoubtedly
be taken as soor as the Archibald i'm
peachment trial IS disposed of.

sentence of deaht for the murder of
Gambler Herman Rosenthal, contin-
ues in a hopeful frame of mind in
his cell at Sing Sing prison, accord

mates. Lawrence ]. Spohr, former
orporal of the United States army,
who was condemned to die for the
murder of his sweetheart, but who
has just been sent from the death
house to the Jail at White Plains for
a second trial, tells the story of
Beckers days at Sing Sing.
Becker confidently expects to get
new trial, and that he will be ac-
quilted" said Spohr. "He is the most
religious man in the place, and every
night reads the Bible and leads in
the singing of two or three hymns
and sometimes popular songs, in

not talk about his case, but spends a

comes Effective Today

Upon the stroke of 12 tonight the
tin dippers which have long done SER
Give in the passenger waiting room at
the Central depot will be relegated to
oblivion and in their place will appear
individual drinking cups from which
the thirsty may drink. The cups
aboard the trains will likewise disap-
pear. Today the new interstate law
becomes effective, and all drinking ves-
sells, cups and glasses alike, will be
discarded aboard trains and in depot
waiting rooms. Water will be pro-
yided as heretofore, but passengers
must supply the cups. At the Sea-
board station the same conditions will
exist.
At the Central depot in Americus, a
flowing artesian we'll will take the
place of the metal water cooler. Pipes
from the artesian well there will az
ford a continuous flow to the fountain,
which will be located in the ladies'
waiting room. This will prove an inn
provement, indeed.
Another needed facility installed to-
day at the Central station will be the
parcels checking room, where par
GELS, suit cases and light articles of
all kinds may be checked Ticket
Agent Ellis will have charge of this.
1t will prove a convenience long de-
sired there by the travelling public.
Other Improvements are being made
about the passenger station. Painters
are busy there, aud the building is be-
ing given a new spring dress of paint,
both inside and outside.

when all three boilers of the boat
exploded Thursday afternoon, while
the vessel was on the Mobile river
three miles from Bladen Springs. The
captain, pilot, engineer and second
clerk of the Staples, all Mobile men,
lost their lives and four negroes are
known to have been Killed. Eleven

The Staples was built in Mobile
many ears ago and was valued at fifty
thousand dollars. One week ago, on
Thursday afternoon, Captain Norman
Staples, who built the boat, committed
suicide at his home in Mobile. His
death was precipitated by the financial
loss of the pride Of his heart, the
steamer passing from his cnotrol one
month ago, when his financial affairs
collapsed. Brooding over this misfor-
tune led to his final tragic ending
One week later, at the exact minute
at which Capt Staples killed himself,
the steamer blew up and the scene or
her tragic end was the grave of her
former owner.
The boat piled on the Mobile aud
Tombigbee rivers between here III

Delayed Tax Is Coming In
Rapidly

1t was noted yesterday at the offices
of the judge of the court of ordinary
and the tax collector that numerous
firms here subject to special taxes py
the state are fast meeting these obli-
cations.
The licenses under these conditions
of special taxation are issued by Capt.
John A. Cobb, judge of the court of
ordinary, and the tax is then paid to
the tax collector. When the licenses
are issued by the ordinary the name
and business of each firm is registered
there.
The special taxes referred to become
due the first of January each year. 1t
is customary that postal card noti-
fication be mailed out to each one who
owes the tax. In this way notifca-
ton is given in due time, and there
is but little trouble in collecting the
tax. On the postal cards issued the
corporation scale of taxes is listed as
follows: Not over $4,000, the tax IS
s.; over $4,000 and not over $4,000,
