Homicide at q MuIlGt Supper
Is Alleged

Sheriff Fuller received a telegram
yesterday from the authorities at
Warwick, Ga, notifying him of the
capture of Wesley Iverson, a char
coal Sumterian wanted upon the
charge Of murder. An officer went at
once to Warwick to bring back the
fieet-footed Senegambian and lodge
him in Castle Sumter. 1t was Just
about week ago that the first autum-
nal mullet supper was pulled off down
at Cobb Station, below Americus. an
nouncing the advent of the busy sea-
son for Coroner jenkins. During the
festivities, and while the odor of fry
ing mullet and new corn "licker'
smote the ozone, one of the dancers
In an outburst of merriment playfully
pulled his gun and bore a hole through
the diaphragm of the hesitation
waltzer at his elbow. Iverson was
spotted as the shootee, and at once
vanished into space, only to be har-
pooned yesterday as stated.

SCHOOLS OPENED
MONDAY MORNING;
fine ATTENDANCE
INCREASE At HIGH SCHOOL
Two Smaller Grammar
Schools open Also

With ceremony befitting such occa-
sion, and under very fattering aus
pices, the Americus High school, the
Prospect Heights and East Americus
Grammar schools opened yesterday
morning for the autumn session, and
each with excellent attendance. The
day was balmy and bright, and at the
tap of the bell, hundreds of young
pupils, swinging satchels and lunch
baskets, quickly filled the streets ami
walked with elastic step to their re-
spective schools.
At the High school, Supt, J. E. MI
this of the Americus public schools,
together with the principal; Prof..
Fred Lambert and several visitors,
welcomed the pupils in brief exercises.
Short addresses were delivered by
Supt. Mathis, President burrows, Rep
resentative Crisp, DR.. ]. A. Thomas and
Judge z. A Littlejohn.
The attendance at the High school
numbered 160 pupils, which is an in
crease already over the attendance last
session. Other pupils still will enter
the High school, and by the end of the
month an attendance of It's is expect
ed. Prof. B. D. deBruyne, of the chair
of mathematics became a new member
of the faculty there yesterday in as
suming his important duties, while
all of the other instructors were in
their places, several having just re-
turned from summer vacations.
There was a gratifying attendance
at both the East Americus and Pros
pect Heights school and all three in.

COTTON VALUES
Still CONTINUE
UPWARD trend
SPOT PRICES ARE BETTER
General Survey Of Cotton
Conditions

New Orleans, Sept. 21.-The situa-
ton in the cotton trade was improved
last week by the almost general re-
sumption of business in the spot cen
ters of the South. Agitation looking
toward opening the local future NOR
ket, however, was met by opposition
on the ground that liquidation of old
bsiness had not advanced far enough
and that the ring would find difficulty
in taking care of the trades whica
probably result from an early opening.
The course of spot prices was up
ward, little distressed cotton was re-
ported anywhere, farmers generally
were firm holders and the "buy-a-b bale"
movement served to encourage holding
even if it did not materially better the
situation by retiring actual cotton
from the open market.
Weather conditions over the belt
were considered favorable except to-
ward the end of the week, when too
much rain was reported especially II
the Atlantics. With another govern
ment condition report approaching, the
last one of the season, the trade is
taking increased interst in crop ac-
counts.
This week, more than ever since the
European war started, the attention u
both departments of the local market
will be directed toward attempts to re-
sumo trading on a normal basis. Fur
their rises in the value of spot cotton
will be of assistance to those who are
putting forward plans Off re-opening
the future business because it will
furnish higher basis for the liquida-
tion of the outstanding long interest.

Freight TRAINS
IN DANGEROUSLY
near PROXIMITY
POSSIBLE CLASH IS AVERTED
By Vigilance Of Section
Foreman

But for the vigilance of a section
fireman of the Seaboard, a possible
collision between two freight trains
nigh. rot have been averted day or
two ago, according to the story of the
affair told in Americus yesterday. The
scene of possible collision was at a
point near Alamo, on the division east
of Americus.
The section gang was working along
the track when the foreman, whose
name was not reported here, heard a
train leaving a station not far distant,
and coming in his direction.
At the same time he heard the thun-
derous roar of another train approach
ing from the opposite direction. In
stinctiyely, he knew that some one
had blundered."
Hurriedly calling two of his work
men, he sent them in opposite direc-
tions, running at top-speed to flag the
two approaching trains. Nor did they
start too soon, as running at COOL
speed, the two freight rains appeared
in view minute or two later. They
were waved down, and a collision
averted.
The cause Of the near-accident will
be officially investigated, but that vigi-
liant and faithful foreman should not
be forgotten by the company.

LONDON, Sept 21.-1 p. m.-Eng-
land took renewed hope from the re-
port that the bulk of the German army
had begun to retire from France, but
waited in vain today for confirmation.
Though British official report says
the allies are gaining ground their
progress apparently is snail-like. For
days the British press have referred to
Won Kluck's PERIL" but SO far the
German commander has been able TO
check what must have been terrific
pressure from the British and French
left
Naturally there has been no inti-
nation from German sources in cor
robboration of the report that COM
paratively small part of the German
army proposes to maintain merely a
defensive position in France, while
the main body makes a stand on the
frontier, but optimistic ones among the
allied adherents believe it extremely
improbable that Emperor William S
troops again during the present War
will assume a general offensive on
French territory. They contend,
moreover, that a retirement of Ger
man forces from French soil must
shortly become inevitable, unless the
offensive is assumed.
British eyes see further encourage
ment in the backward movement OF
the army of Crown Prince Frederick
William, which, it is argued, means
the failure to establish for the in
vaders new and shorter communica-
tions by the way of Metz and Rhein.
Throughout the British Isles en-
listment continues unabated and a
noteworthy feature is the high stand
ard of the recruits. Students and
young professional men are con-
spicuous in every squad seen upon
the London streets.
Its a Long Way to Tipperary" has
become a fixed classic in this war,
much the same manner as "There1l Be
a Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" swept through the Ameri-
can army in Caba during the Span
ish-American war. Even the German
prisoners interned in England have
caught the fever and many of them
are singing it as we'll as they can.

WRANCElL ASKS FOR
 DRY STRAIT CHANNEL

The Wrangell Chamber of Commerce has begun work a. gam to secure an appropriation
 for dredging a channel through Dry strait so as to obViate the necessity of vessels running through Wrangell Narrows. It Is contended that the removal of 20,000,000 cubic yards of sand would make a deep chan nel through Dry strait that would accomodate any class of vessels, making a saving in round trip to any point north of Wrangell of 300 miles for those vessels that are too large for WranSell Narrows, of more than 20 miles for those that use the narrows, and make navigation safe for both classes, besides obviating the necessity that oNen rises to await for weather conditions. Other Alaska towns are to be asked to aid in getting an appropriation for the work.
