FAMOUS DENMARK
CASE TO Be SETTLED

Atlanta, Ca, July 31,-The litigation
over the famous Denmark will case
will probably be settled as the result
of an agreement through action of the
trustees of the University of Georgia.
The trustees voted to accept PROPOSE
tion made by the widow of George F.
Denmark, prominent Savannah man,
who left a large legacy to the univers-
ity. Mrs. Denmark proposed that one
third of the estate should go to the
university upon her death, and this
will amount to about 100000.
Mr.. Denmark's will left much
larger proportion Of his estate to the
college, but Mrs. Denmark contested
It, and the suit has been in the courts
for several years.

ANERICUS is PRACTICALLY FREE
OF TYPHOID DURING SEVEN months
For Months Ending Yesterday
We're Reported in the City Am
Number of Tead-A
Conditions

Americus' health record, remarka-
bly, good at all seasons, has been
exceptionally fine during the current
summer, according to the statements
Of local physicians. This is especially
true as regards the prevalence of ty-
phoid, and the fact that Americus has
had, practically, immunity this year
from that insidious malady is espe-
cially gratifying.
In addition to absence of typhoid,
there have been exceedingly few cases
of infectious illness in Americus this
year.
With pardonable pride in the good
health conditions obtaining in Ameri-
Gus, DR.. j. w. Chambliss, city physi-
clan and chairman of the local board
of health, issued a statement last
night ON typhoid conditions, based up
on reports of all the physicians Of
i Americas.
These reported a total of only seven
cases of typhoid treated here during 2
the current year. OF this number,
four cases were those of white pa
tients and three of colored patients.
DR.. Chambliss saw every physician in
the city personally, and the statement,
therefore, is absolutely correct.
Seven cases of typhoid during seven
months, in city of 10000 population
evidences remarkably fine health con-
ditions, and Americus people point
with pardonable pride to the record.
Smallpox, so prevalent in recent years
1 in smaller towns and rural communi-
ties; has long since been thoroughly
eradicated here through unremitting
efforts of DR.. Chambliss.
The city's sanitary condition is
good at all times, and the board of
health is giving special attention there
to just now in enforcing The ordinance
relative to cleaning of premises and
! the cutting of weeds on vacant lots.

BALES ROLLING
While MARKETS
ARE DEMORALIzED
AMERIGUS GETS MANY BALES
Cotton Not in Demand Just
At Present

! Americus warehouses again receiv-
ed numerous additional bales new
cotton yesterday, probably dozen
being marketed here. The first real
load of cotton received thus far came
yesterday from the plantation of Mr..
E. B. Council, near Americus, and con-
sisted of four fine bales. Other re-
ceipts ware in single bale lots, and
probably a full score of these f1eecy
harbingers of prosperity have been
received at Americus warehouses dur
ing July.
These receipts of July cotton esta5-
fishes a new record for that month in
the Americus market In previous
years only one July bale had been
marketed here, and the early move
ment this season is something entirely
new in that line.
Owing to the general decentralization
in the cotton and other markets re
sulting from the European embroglio,
no attempt is made to sell cotton
here, or elsewhere for that matter, at
present. The terrific drop of 1876
points in cotton at one clip yesterday
routed the bulls and bears in the cot
ton trade and resulted in the closing
of the cotton exchanges until condi-
tions can adjust themselves and a
tangible basis Of values can be held.
Americus warehousemen are hope
full that a general European bear fight
may yet be avegted, and values restor-
ed to the cotton market.
In the meantime local buyers are
returning from summer vacations and
getting ready for the usual fall rush
Mr.. W. R. Lipscomb, representing
We'll Bros, and Mr.. E. C. Webb, rep
resenting the Brown-Kramer Cotton
Co., returned yesterday. Both have,
during several seasons, been mem
ters of Americus' large cotton "col-
ony", and their return here was well
coined by their numerous friends.
1t is understood that Mr.. A. T. Por-
ter, formerly of Americus, but a res
ident buyer in Atlanta during several
seasons, will make Americus head
quarters again during the forthcoming
season.

$3.50 CARS OF PEACHES
ARE SHIPPED TO DATE

Macon, Ga, July 31.-Indications are
now that the peach crop this year will
fall considerably below the last high
estimate. Severe hailstorms in the
northern parts of the state is alleged
to be the cause for almost certain
shortage. Up until midnight last night
about $3.50 carloads of peaches were
shipped from the state. The $3.50 car
loads shipped from Georgia means that
the peach crop has been large and con-
siderably above the average. This re-
presents splendid income for the
Empire State of the South.

LUKE MAY FAIL
TO LAND Prize
in SOUTH GEORGIA
PRES. WILSON MAY DECLINE
To Appoint Him AkermaD'S
Successor

Macon, Ca, July 91.-News from
Washington is that it is likely Presi-
dent Wilson will refuse to present the
name of Roscoe Luke, of Thomasville,
for the position of district attorney, for
the southern district of Georgia, to
succeed Alexander Akerman, of Ma
con, who has rendered his resignation.
The president is expected to base
his action on a campaign card Mr..
Luke is alleged to have given out
during the last presidential campaign
in which the president is severely as
sailed and the declaration is made
that he is not proper man to be ell
ected to the position of chief executive
of the nation.
This card is said to have turned
up after the department of justice had
passed favorably on Mr.. Luke's name.
Inquiries at the white house as to
what is holding up the appointment,
bring forth no intimation of the
cause. Senator West, who has been
trying ever since he was appointed to
get district attorney named, and who
has submitted the names of eight or
ten of his constituents, is said to be
equally reluctant to talk asout the
matter.
President Wilson is said to feel that
the assault made on him by Mr.. Luke
exceed the limits of legitimate polit-
ical opposition and it is anticipated he
will turn down Mr.. Luke's name for
that reason.

TAX DEFAULTERS
enough To PAY
CITY'S EXPENSES
UNDER DOUBLE TAX RULING
Nearly 800 Failed to Make
Tax Returns

In going over the returns made Of
city property for taxation the board
of assessors, Messrs. C. ]. White,
c. j. Sherlock and P. B. Williford, have
just discovered a very unusual condi
tion and one which may result in very
largely increased revenue to the mu-
nicipality. Of the 2742 property own
ers, who should have made returns of
their holdings to the city clerk, there
are 1872 efaulters-property owners
who failed or declined to make re-
turns for taxation. Of the large
number Of white property owners-17G9
there are $50 defaulters, while of the
total number of colored property own
ers-973-there are 260 defaulters. IN
der the law, all defaulters are subject
to a double tax upon their property as
a penalty for neglect OF duty and ad-
ditional work imposed upon the board
of assessors. In this instance, there
fore, 1872 taxpayers may be double
taxed, and this unexpected increase in
the citys revenue will, it is estimated,
pay, wellnigh, the municipal expen-
ditures for one year Every property
defaulter may expect to come up this
fall with double the amount of his tax,
as paid last year, as the penalty foc
his carelessness in not making prop
erty returns.
