DEATH CLAIMED
COL. CRI1TENDEN
MONDAY EVENING
WIDELY KNOWN IN GEORGIA
Father of Mrs. v. 7. Lane
Of Americas

Col and Mrs. W. T. Lane received
last night the distressing information
OF the death of her father, Col. R. T.
Crittenden, at his country home, near
Shellman, a home of plenty and pros
perity and, like the grand old Roman
who possessed it, typical of the O'd
South. Col Crittenden had not long
been i'll, and his death was somewhat
in the nature of a surprise to his fam
lily and friends
Col. Crittenden was a pioneer resi-
dent of southern Georgia. He had re-
sided for more than a half century al
his handsome home in Randolph coun-
ty, esteemed in the highest as one Of
natures noblemen.
Many time had it been his pleasure
to represent his people in the halls o.;
legislation, and always with distin
guished ability. Devoted to agricul-
tural pursuits, in which he attained
eminent success, he was for many
years an official of the Georgia State
Agricultural society, the Georgia State
Fair association, and if we mistake not,
a director of the Georgia Experiment
station.
Col Crittenden was one of the most
valiant followers of the Starry Cross
for four years, and no more gallant
Confederate soldier ever followed the
fortunes Of Lee and Jackson. Col Crit
tenden was a frequent visitor here at
the home or his daughter, Mrs. w. -
Lane, and many friends here will sol
row at his death Arrangements for
the funeral had not been completed
last night.
He is survived by his wife, his
daughters, Mrs. w. T. Lane and Mrs, j.
Mercer Bell, of Dawson, and others
near and dear.

Lacy appears unconcerned regarding
the verdict, and it is understood an

Lacy's trial began early last week
and went to the jury Saturday night
after the defense had failed to intro
duce a single witness, Notwithstanding

defendant. This action On the part of
the defense was surprising, inasmuch
as more than 100 witnesses had been
sumomned to testify in Lacy's behalf.
Several other indictments are yet
outstanding against Lacy, he being
charged with stealing more than $780,

about ten months ago, taking with hiEa

MANY MOTORISTS
REFUSE To PAY
BURDENSOME TAX
WOULD NOT Be Held UP
For SIS Tax Under the New
State Law

Americas MOTORISTS very large
number of them-are without the new
IS tin tag tackled upon their machines
and, unless they yield to pressure and
are finally divorced from their dollars
five instead of two this time, thay
will operate their cars this year with
out any tag whatever The state is
selling only the IS brand of tag, and
there is no alternative than to use the
old tag, as many are doing, unless they
buy the ne~ one.
And that many thousands of auto
lists all over the state will use the old
tag is evidenced in the fact that of the
10000 motorists in Georgia, only $500
probably less, have bought the new
"yaller" tag.
Therefore, it is rather clear that ac-
oording to conservative estimates of
the number of cars in use in the state
not much more than one-third have
complied with the law at the close &c
the time limit fixed by the act.
The distribution of the 1867 sold up
to Thursday was as follows: Atlanta,
1880; Savannah, 677; Augusta, 473;
Macon. 439; balance of the state. A.,
419. Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, and
Macon were the only points to have a
series of numbers set aside for them
A series of the smaller numbers were
set aside for the motorcycles, as the
shorter sized tags were better suited
for the cycles.
The total receipts from this sale
was $39,835. Tags, envelopes and
freight cost $5,875, leaving a net bal
ance to turn over to the state treas
urer of $33,960 Postage must be de-
Quoted from this amount also 1t is
said great saving has accrued to the
state since the inauguration of the
parcel post. Formerly u cents was
required on auto tags. Under the par
eel post the average is 6 cents, or a
saving of half on each tag.
1t is not known just how many auto
owners in Americas and Sumter have
bought the IS brand tag, but the num-
Der is comparatively small.
There are probably 600 cars opera
ed here, and it is an even bet that
less than one hundred of them-proba-
bly, less than seyenty-fve are haunt-
ing the new tin tag. The movement
made to have the new tag law abol-
i5hed at the next session of the legis~
lature will meet with hearty support
here.
