.SLATON WILL TAKE
TIME To APPOINT
BACON'S SUCCESSOR

Atlanta, Feb. 23.-'T am going to
give everybody chance to be heard
before appointing Senator Bacon's sue
cessor," declared Gov. Slaton this
morning in frank statement which is
taken to mean that a number of days
will elapse before his decision is made.
1t needed not this assurance from
those in close touch with the governor
to know that he had not yet settled the
matter definitely even in his own mind.
1T is not foible to be determined in
an hour or a day." he said Saturday,
and the rumors that he was going to
announce a decision Saturday night
proved a mere unfounded rumor AMI
nothing more.
During the latter part of last week
the governor gave up many hours each
day toward considering the merits of
the many names urged upon him. The
hundreds of letters which poured in on
him on the subject he carried home at
night and stuc 81 by the midnight oil.
Saturday afternoon, when few mis-
informed people were still imagining
that the thing was about to be settled
nstanter, the governor said:
Il feel just like l did when / was a
boy on the farm at the end of a hard
weeks blowing Then I used to go
down to the swimming hole ON Sat
urday afternoons. But it's too cold %
go swimming now, so instead I'm go
ing out in the country and look at the
COWS and chickens. / assure you
everybody will be given opportunity 20

conclusion"

LAD SHOT BY
BROTHER DIES

Augusta, Ga, Feb 23.-John f.
Smith, the sixteen-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas C. Smith, of St.
Clair, Ga, died at the Margaret Wright
hospital yesterday afternoon at six
o'clock as the result of being accidsnt-
ally shot by his younger brother.
The young man was shot when the
latter was in the act of killing a large
hawk, which was soaring over the
residence. The accident it is said,
was caused by his mother slamming
the door, causing the gun to go off UNI
expectedly. The whole charge of buck
shot lodged in the victims leg.
He was rushed to this city where he
was given the best medical aid pos
sible. His leg was amputated, but the
less of blood before he was brought
here rendered him too weak to recover
fICm the operation. His mother and
brother are heart-broken over the ac-
c'dent.
BESIDES his mother and father, he is
survived by three brothers, G. T., J. M.
and Jacob Smith; also six sisters, Mrs.
]. L. Couch, Mrs. Clarence Jay, Mrs.
Ollie Taylor and the Misses Lila, Ollie
and Dollie Smith.

SOUTHERN WILL INSTALL
MODERN STEEL EQUIPMENT

Washington, D. c., Feb. 23,-Fair-
fax Harrison, president of the South
ern Railway company, said today:
THE Southern Railway company,
believing in the continued prosperity
and growth of the territory it serves,
and, recognizing the necessity of en-
lerging it's facilities to keep pace with
that growth, has, pending the inn
provement of the market for long term
securities, sold ten million dollars OF
five per cent, thrae-year notes secur-
ed by the pledge of development and
genelar mortgage 4 per cent. bonds
of the company, which for some time
time past have teen held in the treas
ury of the company available for sale.
This new capital is to be applied
by the Southern Railway company in
carrying to completion plans for i'm
provements and betterments to and
upon the property of the Southern
Railway company, which were includ-
ed in the general plan for the future
of the railroad made at the time the
development and general mortgage
was created in 1906. The particular
improvements now to be undertaken
are chiefly additional and enlarged
shops, and other freight ter terminals
which have been greatly desired, and
have been earnestly recommended for
several years past to facilitate evonomi
.cal operation and to enlarge the OPP
portunity Of the company for secur-
ing competitive freight traffic as we'll
as for taking care of local business.
These improvements will be undsr-
taken at once and pushed to compile
ton as rapidly as possible
in addition to the Improvements
provided for, as above stated, the
Southern Railway company has also
arranged to finance, through ten
year equipment trust, the acquisition
Of additional modern rolling stock,
largely of steel construction, repre-
senting an aggregate cost of more than
five million dollars Bids for this adj
ditional rolling stock are now being
received from manufacturers and the
orders for immediate construction will
be placed promptly"

Plans are under way for the erection
at FITZGERALD of the only monument III
the world jointly concentrating tn
Blue and the Gray. The design for the
great peace memorial is the work q
Il. NJ. Viquesney, of Americas, and is
one of the most elaborate monumental
structures in the South. The design
has already been accepted by the COM
mittee. Plans for the erection and
unwilling OF the monument will be
considered in detail by the United Con-
fcderate Veterans in annual session in
Jacksonville this spring.
The memorial will be erected at tn )
intersection of two OF Fftzgerald'5
broadcast streets. 1t will measure fifty
feet square at the ground line. Four
flights of steps, symbolizing the four
years of war, will lead from the street
l.yel to wide plaza or platform ex-
tending completely around the monu-
ment.
Each of the four faces of the memoir
ial will have a large entrance, eight
feet wide and ten feet in height, lead
ing into a memorial room, which will
occupy all of the interior of the monu-
iment. This room will be round and
with a domed ceiling rising twenty
five feet above the floor, and supported
in the center by an immense polished
column. On two opposite sides of the
room, set into the walls will be bronze
and plate glass cases to contain war
relics.
On the two other opposite sides will
be inches in the wall to contain life
size marbal statues of Abraham LIN
coin and Jefferson Davis.
The cap course, thirty fet above the
street level, will be simple, as are all
the lines of the monument. On each
corner will be huge eagle, with
wings outspread over the American
shield These will be carved in gran
lite. Between these carved eagles on
each face of the monument, and rest
ing on the cap will stand immense
groupes of bronze statuary. On the
north side will be a group showing
Generals Grant and Lee clasping hands

A MASS OF BOG SEVERAL
MILES LONG ON THE MOVE

Carrick-on-S Shannon, ireland, Feb. %
A quaking mass of bog several miles
in area is on the move in the neigh
gorhood of Carrick and panic-strick-
en- inhabitants are fleeing before the
threatening disaster. The bog slide
has been brought about by abnormal
rains. Many thousands of acres IN
the counties of Leitrim and Roscom-
mon are submerged. The people IN
many instances have Oeen isolated
from communication with their neigh
bors, owing to the Shannon breaking
its banks. The flooded stream is car
rying carcassas of live stock While
haystacks and outhouses and nipple
ments have been washed aways
Desperate efforts are being made II
drain away enough water to check
thu advance of the shifting bog.

VALD0STA FANS WILL
GIVE BIC BANQUET

/ Valdosta, ga, Feb 23.-There will
he a supper at the Valdes Ho,-l NEXT
Thursday night, February &c, for the
purpose of discussing the baseball
proposition here for the coming ssa-
son, and the directors are in hopes OF
having a big crowd At this meeting
new president will be elected to fill
the place made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Langdale, also to appoint
several directors and secretary and
treasurer.
The Valdosta baseball aggregation
seems to be quiet workers, but are
all the time preparing a good team.
The manager and secretary have been
very busy signing a good bunch OF
ball players, and from all the dope
they can gather they will have a
team that will far surpass the one
that represented Valdosta last sea-
son. The team will be better bal
anced. We are sure that the infeld,
which lacks one man yet of beng
completed, will be one of the fastest
the fans have ever seen, in Herold,
Schwartz, Iron, Kipp, Anderson.
The outfeld will be well taken
care of with Medlock, Crowder
Stone, Reese and several others tc
draw from. On the pitching stat
Valdosta fans will only SCI one ia
miliar face and that is Winges, whom
we all bet our money on. A letter
was received from him several days
ago, saying he was looking forward
for the time for the season to open.
Among the others who are highl,
spoken Of are Veach, Haines, Wynne

AMERICUS MAN IS THE DESIGNER
OF A MONUMENT TO CIVIL War
Magnificent Shaft to be Raised at Fitzgerald to Soldiers
Of The Blue and Gray

while the Spirit of Peace, with arms
outstretched behind them, brings them
together.
On the south side will be two sold
isrs, one a Confederate and one fed
eral, supporting the American flag. On
the east side will be a group of two
female figures representing Prosperity,
and on the west side standing figure
OF a woman pointing out to knaeling
soldier the progress and opportunity
awaiting him
The monument rises in a simple
dome to a plinth, on which rests four
large columns, three feet in diameter,
and twenty feet in height. Each of
these columns represents a section
of the country-north, south, east AMI
west-and is so marked on the orna-
mental caps.
Fitzgerald, which occupies the very
spot on which Jefferson Davis was cap
tured, was planned and built up by
northern war veterans, and in less than
seventeen years has assumed all the
proportions and improvements of a
modern city several times its size,
Its streets which are wide and roomy,
are we'll paved with the finest of hard
bricks; its walks are cement tile, and
its business blocks all modern in ap-
pearance. The population inside the
city limits will come near the ten
thousand mark This population is
now made up almost equally of north
ern and southern people. Inter-mar-
riage has completely obliterated ali
sectional feeling and the war veterans
of both sides meet and work together
in perfect harmony.
The date for the formal unwilling OF
the monument has not yet been set.
The event will be made one of national
significance. The federal government
as we'll as many of the northern and
southern states, will send soldiers and
Representatives to take part in the eX-
ercises incident to the dedication OF
the first peace memorial erected any
where to symbolic the four years Of
civil war and bring the Blue and Gray
together in peace and amity under one
flag.
