STATES HOLDUP
upon MOTORISTS
FAST RELAXING
REPEAL OF S. AUTO TAX
Motorists Would Not Stand
For HOldup

Americus motorists and particularly
the very few, comparatively, who sub
mitted to the hold-up of S. automobile
tax, may be interested in knowing that
this arbitrary and unjust measure has
been changed so as to reduce the So
tax to 50, the former tax, which was
quite sufficient, and which several hun
dred Americus autoists paid without a
protest, though they kicked vigorously
at the raise.
A bill introduced in the legislature
and reported favorably by the house
committee on ways and means, reduces
the auto tax from $5 to So. The new
tax rate will apply to motorcycles also.
A very interesting tangle may result
if this bill is passed by the house.
Under the existing law the state COL
lects a S. auto license and directs that
the money shall be used for road pur
poses. The secretary of state, after
collecting about $4,000, discovered
that there was no way by which he
could divide the money between tie
oounttss.
To correct this, Mr.. McMichael, of
Marion, introduced bill providing
that the auto license money be divid,
ed among the counties according to
road mileage. The bill to reduce the
license was a substitute. Now, if the
house passes the substitute the secre-
tary of state will still be in a guam
Diary about what to do with the money
he has collected.

HUERTA'S FAMILY ON
WAY To VERA CRUZ

Mexico City, July 15.-At 10 o'clock
last night the family of President Vic
toriano Huerta and other relatives and
close friends left the capital for Vera
Cruz aboard a special train. The train
was composed of three sleepers and a
baggage car. Running ahead of il
were two military trains carrying 500
men. Following came another mill
tary train with 500 troops aboard.
The family Of Gen. Banquet minis
ter of war, also left on the special.
1t is believed that President Huefta,
Gen. Banquet and other high officials
may leave the capital at any hour.
The party leaving last night boarded
the train at Villa de Guadalupe, a
railroad station five miles from Mexico
City. Only a few persons were aware
of their departure.

FARMER SMOOT is AHEAD
IN Showing fine COTTON
Stalk From His Farm Attracts
Attention

While Farmer Dick Smoot does not
devote his time entirely to his farm out
on the River road, he attains results,
as sample stalk of cotton exhibited
at Parker's warehouse would indicate.
The bolls are too numerous to be
counted, but would easily fill a well
bucket, if picked off. 81 Hawkins tried
to count them yesterday, but fell
asleep after passing the 400 mark, the
monday weather being a bit op-
pressive. Mr.. Smoot's crop is one of
the best of its acreage in the county
and will easily make a bale to the
acre or better. He is preparing nov
his formula of planting and cultiva-
tion fo- Solicitor General ]. D. Will
liams, who has also attained local dis
tinction as a successful cotton pro-
ducer.

WAS JESUP YOUNG MAN
KICKED FROM TRAIN?
F. II. Landrun1 Charged With
Frank B. Wynne's Murder
THE EVIDENCE is AGAINST HIM
Southern RdillOdy Auditor
Strenuously Denies Charge
THE EVIDENCE is AGAINST HIM

Brunswick, Ca, July 15.-F. H. Lam
drum, an auditor on the Southern
railway, was this afternoon arreste l
on the charge of murder, under a war
rant sworn out against him by Sheriff
Price of Wayne county.
Monday morning the body of a well
dressed young white man was found
along the tracks of the Southern rail-
way, twelve miles from Brunswick.
The remains were brought to this
city, but no one here could identify
the body. There were no marks about
his person to indicate that he had
been injured. The young mans death
was a complete mystery and the gen.
eral supposition was that he had fall
en- from the Southern's excursion
train leaving Brunswick Sunday night.
This morning Sheriff Price of Jesup,
together with others came to Bruins
wick, and the body was identified as
that of Frank P. Wynne, aged IS, son
of a we'll known Jesup merchant who
had spent Sunday visiting his mother
who is spending the summer on ST.
Simons.
Sheriff Price at once started an in
vestigation which resulted in the ar
rest of Landrum this afternoon. Four
eye witnesses have stated that they
saw Landrum kick the young man
from the Southern train Sunday night,
following dispute over a ticket.
Wynne's body is still being held in
this city and an autopsy will be held
tomorrow. In a statement issued to-
night Landrum strongly denies the
charge, and says he is innocent of
the crime. Ia.

CONSIDERING LANE
AND NJ REYNOLDS

Washington, D. c., July 15.-Presi-
dent Wilson will go outside of his
cabinet for an associate justice of the
supreme court to succeed the late
Horace H. Lurton, unless he appoints
Secretary Lane or Attorney General
McReynolds. These two are the only
cabinet members under consideration.
AS many administration leaders in
congress point out that the place is
claimed for Southern democrat, the
attorney general is regarded as
likely choice. In some circles. how
ever, Secretary Lane has been unde~-
stood to be the presidents choice for
the first vacancy
If the president appoints his attor-
ney general it is regarded as likely
Secretary Lane would be made head
of the department of justice. 1t is
known the president has the highest
regard for his ability as lawyer ana
for his views.

HAS BRIDEGROOM
KILLED HIMSELF
AS Threatened?
BRIDE In AMERICUS ASKS
Has Letter to That Effect
From Husband

Has R. c. Brown committed suicide,
as indicated in letter just received by
his bride of one week, until recently
Miss Thelma Bragg? She and her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George M. Bragg,
cannot conceive that Mr.. Brown has
committed any such rash act, yet they
are confronted with the letter bearing
his name, in which he declares that he
will be in the bottom of the st. Johns
river ere his girl bride receives the
dread missive.
The letter, presumably, was written
at Palatka on Monday last, July 18th,
and mailed the same day at Jackson
vile as it bears the postmark of that
city With the same mail came letter
postmarked Palatka, July 18th.
In the Palatka letter the writer ad-
dresses his girl wife in the most en-.
dearing terms and declares his inten-
ton of returning to Americus from his
business trip to Florida on Wednesday
1t was his intention, he
declared, to take his bride at once
upon their deferred wedding trip. 60
ing to his former home in Knoxville.
Tenn, where his mother resides. The
letter is just such an one as bride
groom would write his pretty bride.
Mrs. Brown read this letter first,
doubtless, and was elated at the pr, s.
pect of seeing in two days her husband,
who left her few hours following
their wedding on Tuesday night of last
week, 18th, inst, being called to Florida
upon business for his house Louis
vile mandatory.
The other letter informed Mrs.
Brown that ere she read its contents he
would be at the bottom Of the St
Johns river, and at a point where his
body would never be found.
He bade her an affectionate adiel,
and declared that neither she, his
house, or his old mother would ever
know the motive which prompted him
to take his life. Mrs. Brown was we'll
nigh prostrated at the costents of the
second letter, and can ascri5e no mo-
tive therefor. Her father is alike non
plussed and, like many others here
who know the story, does not believe
Brown has killed himself. What then
prompted the strange letter?
The couple had known each other
ten months at the time of their mar
riage, and the sudden sequel is most
remarkable. Mr.. Bragg is using all
means to the end of unraveling the
mystery.

An Up-To-Date Bakery

Extensive improvements are be-
ing made to the baking establish
ment of G. Fader, Newark, by the
enlargement of the bakehouse
proper and the installation of a
modern and sanitary oven. The
new steam oven, which weighs
about ninety tons, has a capacity of
10000 loaves daily. The fire is at
the back and under the oven,
which is heated by large steam
pipes. Owing to this arrangement
every part of the immaculate white
tiled compartment is an even tenn
perature and may be kept so for
any length of time. There is no
dying down of the heat and wait
ing for the temperature to rise as
in the old-fashioned oven. The new
patent is a continuous baker. -Four
hundred loaves may be placed in
the oven at one time and baked in
thirty minutes. The bakery as
now equipped is modern in every
particular and has few equals in
the State outside of Wilmington.
The work is expected to be complete
within a short time. An interest
ing item mentioned by Mr.. Hen
ming this morning is the fact that
the oven will be fired for two weeks
previous to readiness for baking.
After that time fire will be kept
going continuously, making the
temperature unvarying, ready for
use day or night.

Load Of Hay Burned

Alfred Buckingham of Newark,
riding on load of hay, along
Adams street, Wilmington, last
Thursday, was greatly surprised to
find passersby shouting and ges-
ticulating to him. When there came
lull i'll the noise of traffic, be dis
covered they were warning him to
jump. He looked around and
found himself only a few feet
away from a cloud of fame and
smoke which shot up from the rear
of the wagon. He jumped to the
street, cut loose the horses and has
tily drew away the burning hay.
The trouble had been caused by a
box of lighted matches, which was
thrown by mischevious boy, into
the load Of hay. The Weccacoe
Fire Company Was summoned TO
eXtinguish the fire and protect the
houses on either side of the street.
The hay was consumed.

Freshies Trim Sophs

In the annual class baseball game
between the Delaware College
Sophomores and Freshmen Mon
day afternoon the former won out
by the score of u to 8. The vic
tory of the first year boys was a
great surprise as the Sophs looked
the strongest on paper. 'Buck" "
Hoch, the varsity twirler was hit
hard by the Freshies but the fact
that there was no one on the Soph-
omore team who had experience
back of the bat handicapped the
work of Hoch. In the second inn
ING the Freshmen made two home
runs and a three base hit off Hoch s
delivery. Ewing, who was in the
box for the Freshies the last six inn
ings. was a puzzle to the Soph s
except in the seventh when three
singles and Hoch s home run drove
four runs across the plate. O'Dan-
ieI caught for the Freshmen and
Bonwill and Taylor for the Sophs.
The fielding of both teams was rag
gpd at times. The Freshmen and
Seniors will play during Com
mencement week for the College
championship.
