Policeman Fred Sticken was at
first skeptical about Perry's claim
that he was the man who had
I'shot the officer.
Then Perry told some of the
things that had happened in the
auto the day Sticken was shot,
and the latter finally admitted
Perry was the guilty man.
Sticken had already identified
Albert Charest, another bandit
under arrest, as the man who shot
him, and Charest is held under
bond in the county jail on that
charge.
A week ago the police were be-
ing criticised because they could
not capture an auto bandit. Now
they have so many that they are
becoming tangled in their CON
LESSONS"
Capt. Halpin admitted today
that Charest was probably in
nocent Of shooting Sticken.
Walter Scott, Perry's compan-
ion, has made a partial confession,
and was also identified by one
man as having been in the bandit
auto when he was held UP.

During the trial the courtroom

AUTO BANDIT PERRY HAS
SOME ADVICE TO GIVE

James a. Ferry, SeIf-cOnteSSed
auto bandit, got the usual advice
to young men" stuff off his mind
today.
Like John D. Rockefeller and
other hold-ups, Perry, who says
he is Is years old, tells the young
men to stick to the straight and
narrow path. The returns may
be small, but there will be no con
science. trouble.
I'VE are always sorry when
we are caught, said Perry. But
believe me, if there is any young
chap that is in danger of becom-
ing a crook or an auto bandit,
my advice is to go firing on the
road, or driving a team. He will
land where I am, at the finish if
he takes up the game"

Washington, D. c., July 21. =
Scores of suffragist-laden automo-

road from Montana, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and sey-
eral other states.
These early starters are speaking
for the cause along the way, and
swelling their lists of signatures to
the petition to congress.
Extended preparations are being
made for the general reception at
Hyatssville, Md, to the women pill
grims. H. Martin Williams, reading
clerk of the house, has volunteered
to act as announcer as the several
state delegations arrive in their cars
A large number Of senators and rep
resentatives have promised to serve
on the reception committee, provided
public business will permit, and there
is to be music and other features.

SOFT TRACKS
DELAYED THE
LOCAL TRAINS
ON TIE CENTRAL YESTERDAY
Heavy Rains in Southern
Part Of the County

AS an indication of the amount of
rains that fell in the southern part of
the county yesterday, soft racks in
places delayed the midday northbounl
Central train, due here at 2:05 ana
already late on account of the wreck
between Dawson and Shellman.
The main delay was caused by the
transferring of baggage and passen-
gers at the wreck, which caused the
northbound train to be kept at Smith
Vile long time. After the train LETT
Smithville, however, it was found that
the heavy rains made the Wells mi /
pond creek very high This was passed
very slowly, while just north of it =
complete Stop was made where the
tracks had been worked and were nat
urally soft.
In several places the train slowed
down, as we'll as at the trestle across
Muckalee. Water stood in ponds along
the tracks just over in Sumter county
for some distance, the rains having
been especially hard in that section,
as we'll as across in Lee county, bota
Sunday night and yesterday. The far
mers in that section of the county will
not likely complain soon on account OF
lack of rain.

COTTON BOLLS
OPEN RAPIDLY
near AMERICUS
LOCKETT FIELD is Whitening
Good Portion of Bale Open
There

Sumter county leads with the first
open cotton of the new crop, and il
conditions continue favorable, the first
bale may be marketed here at a muc1
earlier date than first supposed, dua
to the general lateness of the crop
this season almost month behind
that of last year.
Mr.. E. A. Lockett reported yesterday
the first open cotton seen thus far,
which is being cultivated by colored
tenant, Preston Reagan, upon the
Lockett farm near town.
Already there are several hundred
pounds open in the field, and this will
be picked out as soon as possible. The
land upon which it grows seems pac-
ticularly adapted to the production ot
early cotton, in the opinion of several
farmers who have studied it.
Captain John A. Cobb said yester-
day that he had known this field for
many years and generally saw the
first open cotton there, if but a few
bolls.
Preston Reagan has farmed upon the
land several years and generally
brings in about the third or fourth of
the first bales" marketed He is an
industrious negro, operating a six
horse farm. He owes not dollar, and
always has money in the bank.
Sumters first bale should be
brought to Americas within two weeks
despite the general backwardness OF
the crop.

JOE HILL HALL MAY
RUN FOR MAYORALTY
Is Considering Entering Race
In Macon

Macon, Ca, July 21.-Hon. Joe Hill
Hall is entertaining the fdea of run
ming for mayor.
To friends who have called upon him
with this proposition, he has stated
that he will give it earnest considers
ton In fact, he stated to them today
that he was now celebrating on the
plan 1t is possible that his decision
will be announced within the nett
week or ten days.
Some time ago a Hall boom was
started by some of his friends, but
the municipal primary was then long
time distant, and the boom died ar
early death, along with several othe"
mayoralty booms begun about the
same time.
Here of late, so it has now develop
ed, friends have renewed their insis
Itence that Mr.. Hall announce fcr
mayor. Within the past several days,
with the likelihood of other candidates
announcing, they have been especially
clamorous that he get in the race.
When a reporter for local paper
called on Mr.. Hall today, he seemed
somewhat surprised at the inquiry.
81 did not know that the matter had
become public property" he SAID,
"but it is a fact that number of nv
friends have suggested that / run for
mayor. At first | did not consider th3
idea at all, but / have agreed now 20
give the proposition definite considera-
ton. Further than that there is moth :
ing | can say at this time"
There are few citizens of Macon
better known than Mr.. Hall and few
with as large following. Every time
he ran for the legislature he was
elected without difficulty. Last year
he was a candidate for governor.
Since his retirement from the legis-
lature, MIR. Hall has been busily en-,
gagged with his law practice, which Is
quite large In fact, he stated yester-
day that his business had prevented
him from giving a definite statement
to his friends before this.
If Mr.. Hall does announce for
mayor, it is believed by those whp
ought to know, that he will greatly
complicate the local political situa-
ton.

Lone FISHERMAN WAS
NABBED BY WARDEN
Was Fishing Along Banks Of
MuCkalee

Evidently the lure of the wild is, in
deed, very strong with some devotees
of Isaac Walton, so strong that lie
cannot resist the temptation of the rod
and reel even on Sunday. This was
shown by the experience of County
Game and Fish Warden McMath on q
trip down Muckalee creek Sunday in =
boat, during which he came across
lone fisherman, who was enjoying the
day without a catechism or anything
else pertaining to the rituals of ortho-
dox religion.
The case was so manifestly viola
ton of the law against Sunday fishing,
which is no dead letter in this state,
that Mr.. McMath notified the violator,
q resident of Americus, that case
would be made against him. The war
den had a witness along, so it will
evidently be matter of plead guilty
for the violator of the law, or the
evidence will be forthcoming. THIS
one fisherman was the only one seen
in a trip of about six miles down the
creek.

WAS STRICKEN
VERY SUDDENLY
HIS DEATH WAS UNEXPECTED
Funeral Occurred Yesterday
in LGesburg

Mr.. L. w. Minis died quite suddenl
Sunday evening at his home on Brook
lyn Heights, death being attributed to
cardiac paralysis. Mr. Minis had been
in his usual health during the day and
his death, resulting from sudden liz
ness, was a shock to his family AMI
friends.
Mr.. Minis had resided for some time
in Americus, having moved here some
time since from Leesburg, and was en-
ployed at the plant Of the Southern
Art Metal Company.
The deceased was forty-fye years Of
age, and is survived by his wife, two
sons and a daughter, Mrs. Alva john
son, who resides at Vidalia. He was
related to Mr.. w. T. Minis, of Ameri-
Gus, and had other relatives in Sum-

STATE WARDEN
MAY CONE FOR
INVESTIGATION
OF KILLING OF Fish HERE
Chemical Refuse Matter EVi-
dently Responsible

1t may be that the state game AMI
fish warden will come to Sumter coun
ty to investigate the killing of Il
large number of fish in the waters cf
Muckalee creek here, the death Of
these fish being apparently attrihut-
able to the discharge of certain chem
ical refuse from large fertilizer plant
situated near the Central railroad tres-
tie.
Another investigation of the matter
was made Sunday when County War
den McMath, accompanied by Mr.. Phita
Smith, took a boat trip down the
Muckalee for a distance of probably
six miles or more, having started at
the bridge across the creek on the
Smithville road. They discovered no
AhuiSdIiouo OL Q6du HS0 ABOVE the
point where the discharge from the In
ternational Agricultural Corporation
plant empties into the creek, which
makes it more evident than ever that
the sulphuric acid from this plant is
the cause of the death of the fish, which
have been killed, according to Mr.. Me-
Math, in even larger numbers than he,
had originally supposed.
In order that the matter may be as
definitely aseertained as possible, =
sample of the fluid from the fertilizer
plant has been sent to the state chem
ist for analysis. Mr. McMath says that
he noticed where at places the trees
along the banks had been affected by
something caustic in the water. He
said that if it is necessary to clear
up the matter that he will have tha
state game warden come to Americus.

FLY PESTS COST q. S.
$157, 100000 A YEAR

Washington, July 21.-Figured our
in money, to say nothing of the loss ia
human life, the cost to the United
States annually of supporting its fiy
population amounts to $157, 100000, say
government experts who have been
making a study of the results Of the
germ-spreading activities of these in
sects.
1t is estimated that the fly is re-
'sponsible for an expenditure of $780,
100000 for the handling of tubercu-
losis cases, attributable to germs
spread by the pests. while $7O.OO0.O00
represents the cost of typhoid fever

REMOVAL OF GRADE. CROSSINGS
Millions Spent by New Haven In Last Five Years to Do Away
 With Evil.

(Press BureS11 of New Haven Road.)
 The elimination of grade crossings is undoubtedly one of the most tnpor- tant questions confronting the rail road and the community. It is work in which the community and the railroad are more often than not part ners, but the major part of the ex- pense under 'our laws must always fall upon the railroad and frequently it is the railroad which bears the entire burden.
 More work of this character must be done in parts of New England than in other parts of the country because of its density of population and it's many railroad lines. This becomes a great item of expense to its railroads, for money expended in removing cross ingH at grade, while of great benefit to the community, is not productive of any notable increase in railroad reve- nueS.
 Probably in no state of the Union has so much work of this kind been done and so much in contemplation as in the state of Massachusetts. An in spection of the State Auditors reports will show that in the last five years the New York, New Haven & Hart ford has expended clost to $4,50o,0 900 while it has in contemplation projects of the kind involving the expenditure of several millions of dollars more. The work of removing grade crossings in Connecticut undertaken by the New Haven in the last five years, has in- c1uded the improvement at Ansonia, which was finished a month ago. This consisted of the erection of a concrete and steel viaduct with three spans, which did away with dangerous grade crossing and took the place of the old wooden bridge across the Nau- llgatuck river. This work cost $165,- 900, of which the city and the railroad | each paid half.
 The double tracking of the New Ha- | ven's western division from Hawley- vile to Shelton, work on which was | finished early last year. included the removal of no less than twenty-five grade crossings on a line about twen- | ty miles in length. On the line to Pittsfe1d on this same division there | is at the present time under way the removal of four crossings while con

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

If there are fruit stains on the table napkins, rub with and soak in a little turpentine before washing. For mill dew, tie up cream of tartar with the soiled part and boil in clear water or rub with a fresh tomato.
 Try several shades of silk together in one needle when mending plaids or checks, using -co1ors to harmonize with the predominattng tones of the mate rial. The mended part scarcely will show after it is neatly pressed.
 To save chicks, put several stones in each pan or trough in Wh eh you keep water for your chickens; then when pan they can get out by means of these stones and not drown.
 An olive oil bath is very fine for a palm or fern. Put two tablespoonfuls of olive oil at the root Of your palm or fern about once a month, and you have no idea, unless you have tried this. what the improvement will be.
 Many vegetables may be seasoned with salt pork or bacon. Salt pork fat is, by some, considered to render a bet ter flavor to fish, veal. poultry and game. Fat from the soup kettle is good to warm potatoes, make causes or cook meat in.
 One way to save steps is to nail a strip of varnished wood to the wall above the gas stove. Screw in a row ! of brass hooks and use them for iron spoons, strainers, broi1ers, small spi- ders and any utensi1 that goes direct from hook to stove. Don't waste time trying to use a par ing knife with a loose handle. Remove the blade and nearly fill the hollow in the. handle with powdered rosfn. Heat the base of the blade and insert ii ] quickly. The heat will cause the rosin to melt and act as cement.
