SUCCESSOR FOR
SENATORIAL TOGA
bis name is SUGGESTED
As Successor OF Senator A.
0. Bacon

Now that the last sad rites have been
accorded Georgia's lamented son, Sen
ator A. 0. Bacon, and he rests in f1tful
slumber in the soil of the state he
loved so well, the naming of his success
sor will be taken up and the names Of
many of Georgia's distinguished men
and statesmen will be urged upon Cox
Slaton in the appointment of Senator
A. O. Bacon's successor-a difficult
task, indeed.
1t is generally understood that such
appointee will serve only during the
current year, as the permanent sue
.cessor to fill Senator Bacon's unexpired
term will be named by the people at
the fall election.
Among the group of Georgians men
toned in the press of the state as
suitable timber from which to select
senator to succeed the late Senator
Bacon, the name of Judge Andrew
Cobb, an eminent athens jurist, is
mentioned. There could be found IN
tie state no worthier man nor ADLER
and more conscientious student of at
fairs than Judge Cobb.
Than Judge Andrew Cobb, the state
of Georgia possesses no son better
qualified for the responsible duties Of
this high office. A lawyer and student
Of the highest rank, and former judge
Of the supreme court of the state, he is
eminently qualified. A clean man and
polished gentleman, naught but h
est praise can be attached to mis- every
official act.
People of Americas and of all south
Georgia would gladly unite in accord
iHg the brilliant Athenian this merited
recognition of his ability.

TWO HUNDRED
BALES COTTON
SOLD THURSDAY
BEST GRADES FOR IS Cents
Yesterdays Sales Reduced
Stocks on Hand

Americas warehousemen got busy
yesterday with the continuous small
but steady advance in cotton values,
and nearly two hundred bales were
sold here-the best sales for a day in
some time. The demand was good, and
upon a basis of thirteen cents for good
middling two hundred bales were whit
tied off local stocks, now reduced %
perhaps 1,70O bales total This is 1
larger amount than usually is carried
in Americas warehouses at this late
date, and is due largely to the long de-
cline in values, holders of the fieecy
refusing to accept tht prices offered.

I hIGGUUR i GEhAEUR
TO SUCCEED BACON

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 19-Reor-
ganization OF several senate commit
tees may be necessary because of the
death of Chairman Bacon of the for
eign relations committee. A committee
on committees is charged with look
ing after such matters, but in a case
as important as this a democratic eau
Gus probably will be called to decide.
1t is assumed that Senator Stone
will succeed to the vacant chairman
ship, not only because he is the rank
ing member of the committee, but
because he is believed to desire the
post. If Snator Stone should De
appointed then the committee on In
dian affairs, OF which he is chairman,
would be left without a hes! The
ranking member of that committee is
Senator Myers, but he is chairman Of
the committee on public lands and he
might not care to change,

YOUNG CULPRITS
CAPTURED While
STORE IS LOOTED
THREE NEGROES ARE JAILED
Henry G0Wgn Caught in Store
With Loot

Three of the youngest culprits that
ever peeped through Jail bars in
Americas were sent there yesterday
upon the charge of simple LARCENY.
The store Of Drumwright Whitfield,
at Jefferson and Wynn streets, was
robbed shortly before one o'clock yes
terday morning, and three young ne
gro boys, Henry Gowen, Tom Griffin
and Tom Spencer, were captured up
on the scene by the police.
The arrest was made by Officers
Worthy and Summerford who, just
after midnight, caught Henry Gowen
inside the store, and the two other
negro boys just outside. These fell
lows, the police said, were watching
for Gowen, the main thief, inside the
store.
When GoweD was plucked he had
a corn sack containing varied as
sortment OF stolen goods. The bag
contained canned goods, pipes, to-
bacco, boxes of gum, raisins and va
rious articles in quantity sufficient to
fill peck measure. The stolen goods
were displayed at police barracks,
which it made resemble greeerg
store in full blast. The culprits had
worked the scheme very neatly, the
police said yesterday
Henry Gowen, it is said, concealed
himself in the store at closing time
the night before, and after the pro-
prietor left he got busy. The little
thief showed discriminating taste in
selecting the loot.
The trio are of tender age, being
respectively -, 10 and ID years old.
They were sent to Jail in default Of
bonds of $3.50 each. The store rob-
bed is in a remote section of Ameri-
Gus, and the police deserve credit IN
thus making the capture Gowe1,
when he had filled the sack with gro-
ceries, tossed it out of the window 70
Griffin and Spencer in waiting.
The three diminutiye coons will
probably get trial today, and Will
do some real work for the county.

BANKS OFFICERS
BUSILY ENGAGED
Sitting RECORDS
NOTHING GIVEN PUBLIC YET
May be Weeks Before Any
thing is Known

This is the seventeenth day-not in
Guiding Sundays-since the Amsricus
National bank closed its portals, to the
utter amazement Of the business pub
lie and people of Americas generally.
Today, nearly three weeks thereafter,
eight hundred depositors and the peo-
pie generally know as little of the
banks condition and the probability o2
the payment Of deposits as they did on
February 3D.
In the meantime bank officials have
been at work, daily, in an effort to
straighten out the interminable tangle
and can give no adequate idea of when
this work will be completed. Surely
the affairs of the bank must have been
badly jumbled.
Hundreds Of pass books were found
months-it is said, while other hun
dreds have been handed in recently a..
the request of Receiver Dunlap. 1t
may require weeks alone in which to
get the books straight as many of them
are unbalanced as common report
would have one believe
Whether, OR not the receiver and aud
itor have balanced other books of the
bank, no one on the outside has been
advised. Probably no other bank that
has ever closed in Georgia was left
in just such condition
Depositors have been advised that
thsy had three months in which -
bring in their pass books and other
evidences of Indebtedness for audit
The belief that depositors will be paid
in full still prevails. Several plans 10
this desired end are being worked up
on daily by officers of the bank and
their friends, who hope to restore the
bank and pay off all of it's Indebtedness.
They declare that plans to this effect
can be announced as soon as the gov
eminent gives it assent, and the exact
amount of the deposit account is as
certained. The bank still has valuable
assets, principally in notes, bonds and
securities, while staunch friends are
ready to come to it's relief in the plan
of rehabilitation as soon as something
tangible can be given out.
Former Cashier Lowrey, Vice Presi-
dent Lane and others directly inter
ested are working daily to that end,
and hope soon to have something to
give out to- the public Nothing is
known of the whereabouts of Assistant
Cashier G. D, Wheat ey, Jr., who LEI.

Macon, Ga, Feb. 19-Macon by the
thousands turned out under threat

final tribute to Senator Augustus O..
Bacon, whose funeral was conducted
a, Christ church in the presence of ma
tional, state and local notables, which
filled the capacity of that edifice Never
before has such a cortege filed through
Macon's streets. Those who joined in
payment of final tribute to the Georgia
statesman were ten United States SEN
ators, Governor Slaton and his staff,
Confederate war veterans, Masons,
hundreds Of business and professional
men of Macon, three companies of sold
ieTs, a score or more congressman and
celebrated citizen from Macon and all
parts of Georgia, who arrived here to
honor Georgia's distinguished son and
| former statesman.
Even a downpour of rain, which
made the streets small lakes in some
parts, was no barrier to 25 Confed-
crate war veterans, who dressed 1.-THE
uniforms in which they so valiantly de-
Tended their flag in,the sectional strife

behind the mournful beat of mufflea
drums of the Macond rum corps.
And the veterans were proud 20
march in such a noble cortege. Even
against advice of others, the Confed-
crate veterans insisted on taking their
place in line to honor their former
commander, instead of driving in
closed carriages to the Rose Hill GEM
etery, where the body was lowered
into its final place of rest.
The funeral services were not pro
longed The Episcopal funeral SER
vice, read from the choir book, in
itself was impressive enough.
The funeral procession was pro-
longed to more than a mile in length.
In the city hall where the bloody of Sena
tor Bacon, under the protection of
a military guard of honor, had laid
in state since its arrival in Macon in
special train over the Southern
Wednesday night, was removed about
II O'Clock this morning.
Those who were unable to forge
their way through the throng at tn
city auditorium to take a parting
mournful glance at the senator, stood
thousands deep on thes treet corners
| to watch the placing Of the casket in
the hearse and the march to the car
riages of the hundreds who attended
the services at Chruch church and the
cemetery The procession moved down
Poplar street to Third, up Third to
Walnut and to Christ church. There
another vast throng stood, awaiting
the arrival of the procession. Christ
church could not hold the crowd. The
aisles were filled with chairs to ac-
commodate those who could not secure
seats in. pew. 1t was - O'Clock
