HARDWARE Thief MAY
HAVE Been APPREHENDED
Triton Arrest May Clear Up
TheftS

The burglarizing of the hardware
store of the Sheffield Huntington Co
and that of G. E. Buchanan, which oc-
Cured in December, has possibly been
cleared up in the arrest at Triton of
being sold at Tifton by Jones, it is
said, not only had the goods in Tifton,
but is said to have admitted getting
them in Americus.
Several pistols, shotguns, pocket
knives and other valuable articles were
bein gsold at Tifton by Jones, it IS
said, and at such extremely low
prices as to excite suspicion. The chief
of police, to the end of investigating
Jones, bought of him a shotgun for
$3.50, worth very much more.
When searched by the Tifton police
several pawn tickets from shops in
Jacksonville were found in his pos
session, indicating that he might have
pawned other stolen articles there. Ar
a newsstand the police found package
left there by Jones, it is said, which
contained three watches, carving Ser
and four guns neatly wrapped up in
laprobe Direction as to where he
had obtained the goods was given in a
business envelope of the Sheffield
Huntington Company, which was found
wrapped with the watches. 1t. was up
on the discovery of the envelope that
Jones told an Americus end to the
story of his arrest
The two Americas stores were roo-
bed about the same time as was
the Oliver-McDonald store at Plains,
and it is possible that the trio %
robberies may be traced to the man
under arrest at Triton. One of the
Americus stores robbed has listed the
number of each gun and pistol taken,
so that the goods may be readily iden-
tilted. Jones will be brought to Ameri-
Gus from Triton and a complete inves-
tigation made of the burglaries here
and at Plains as well 1t is possib e
that the watches were secured at
Plains, as the hardware stores here do
not carry such goods.

Alderman Bell Talks Of Pro.

Alderman Tom Bell is the author OF
the ordinance introduced in the city
council at its last meeting to keeJ
dogs off the streets. Alderman Ben
believes in this proposed ordinance.
and he thinks it will gain the APPROX
al of the mayor and board of aldermen
when it comes up for passage at the
next meeting of council.
1T is my opinion that the proposed
ordinance will do much good" said
Alderman Bell yesterday in speaking
of the matter. "The ordinance will be
enforced, if it is passed, and it can
hardly fail to prevent what is grow
ing constantly a greater menace to
people in cities, the danger of the mad
dogs bite. Recently newspaper re-
ports serve to show how several people
were bitten in Lumpkin and a number
in Macon"
1t was said by Alderman Bell that
due notice would be given before the
ordinance is enforced, in case of it's
passage by the city council Sufficient
time will elapse after the passage OF
the ordinance before it will go into ef.

inserted to give public notice concern

CORPORATION MAY
RESUME BUSINESS
Naval Stores Company is Not
IDSOIVent

Savannah, Ca, March IS. = The
principal topic in banking and busi-
ness circles in Savannah today has
been the suspension of the Ameri-
can Naval Stores Company, the big
gest corporation in business in Sa-
vannah.
There is every confidence that the
company will resume business after q
meeting of the creditors in Savannah
on Friday of this week.
The company claims that its assets
are greatly in excess of it's liabilities
and this is believed to be true. The
Savannah banks, all of whom are in
terested in the suspension, say that
there is absolutely nothing to fear
from the suspension.
The assets of the company are suf1i-
GENTLY large to protect everybody, il
time is taken to do so. The meeting of
the creditors here on Friday will be at
tended by the representatives of the
biggest bankers in New York, who are
as greatly interested in the affairs OF
the concern as the local bankers.

GEORGIA'S RECORD AS A
CORN GROWING STATE.
Can Georgia Grow Corn Successfully and Profitaby?
There is no Longer any Doubt as to the Positive
Answer Which Should be Given to This Question

Can Georgia grow corn successfully
and profltably? There is no longer
any doubt as to the positive answer
which should be given to this ques-
ion. Last year the seasonal conditions
were probably as unfavorable in the
state as they have been in decade
and yet nearly one hundred boys pro-
duced 100 or more bushels of corn per
acre. The remarkable things about
this result is that fact that these boys
were scattered throughout the length
and breadth of the state In other words
the maximum yields referred to were
not secured in any one county, diyis-
ion or section. This furnishes pretty
conclusive proof that large yields of
corn may be secured in almost any
part of the state where rational me;n-
ods of soil preparation, fertilization
and cultivation are given due consid

ACCIDENT TO TOURIST TRAIN
Pullman Car PIuDgGs Into
The Creek

Macon, Ga, March 18.-A broken rail
caused the Dixie Flyer, the fast tourist
train operating between Chicago and
Jacksonville, to jump the track near
Bonaire, on the Georgia Southern an
Florida railroad, at 1857 o'clock this
morning, slightly injuring five pas
sengers.
The injured are:
Mrs. Fannie Focock, Athens, bach

Mrs. Ella Smith, West Salem, Ill
back sprained.
The injured passengers, after being
brought to Macon on a relief train
with the other passengers, were
taken to the two hospitals here, where
their injuries were dressed. None D:
them were hurt seriously enough to
be retained at the hospital, and re-
sumed their journeys early this az
ternoon.
The engine, baggage and express
cars passed over the broken rail and
did not leave the track. The rear
truck of the smoker left the rails,
spreading the tracks and the four
coaches behind, all Pullmans, turned
over.
The rear coach plunged into a creek,
the water flowing rapidly into the car,
and causing nearly every one of the
thinly clad passengers to be soaked.
The train was in charge of Engineer
J. c. Hunnicutt and Conductor Colley,
both of Macon. None of the train crew
were injured. The passengers, after
a delay of thirty minutes in Macon.
were taken to Atlanta over the Central
road, and there the regular schedule.

First: The notes issued must

Second: The issue must be

Third: The emergency cur

through state banks as we'll as

The bill as prepared observes
these there requirements. The

ligion is prominently above all
others. The subject showed care
full thought and consideration on
the part of the speaker, and was
listened to with much interest.
This subject was followed by
Mr.. Prather on 1.-The Boy and the

plainly showed that he had
studied boy life in relation to the
home and the Sunday school, and
gave many thoughts we'll worth
the attention of all parents and
guardians.
Mr.. J. G. Forbes was the last
speaker, his subject being the
"20th Century Church" Mr..
Forbes comes from a home of
church people as was easily seen
by his thorough knowledge of the
inner life of the church, and the
duties and obligations of people
to pastor and pastor to people.
His conception of the church was
that it is the greatest institution
in all the world. This was not
only a statement of fact by the
speaker but was substantiated by
convincing argument which evil

diction. Although the hour was
somewhat late when Mr.. Forbes

was no less than at the begin

The regional reserve banks will
prove of great advantage to bust
ness. Each reserve bank will be

ter will be much nearer to the
extremes than the few large cities

reserve banks will give to the in

reserves that is lacking under the
