-FOUR ATTEMPTS.
MADE ON BANKS.
At AbbEv|LLE.

News was brought to Americus last
night by John M. Flournoy, of the
Levy-Morton Co., that four attempts
were made to rob banks at Abbeyille,
town about eighty miles east of
Americus on the Seaboard Air Line
railway, early Tuesday morning.
Mr. Flournoy arrived in Abbevilla
Tuesday morning on business trip,
and he states that an effort was made
to open the safe at the Bank of Abb9-
Vile by working the combination, as
several notes were left, one of which
was said to be note that the robber
could not enter this fall on his "trip
south" but would pay another visit
next spring.
At the other Abbeville bank three
different discharges OF explosives
were made, which damaged the door
of the safe to great extent. The
would-be robber calmly planted three
different charges in the safe, and
was preparing to make the fourth
blast when the city marshal and sew
eral citizens arrived at the bank, be-
ing put on the alert by the noise
created from the blasts.
The robber quickly made his escape
by way of the rear door of the bank,
and it is thought he entered both of
tie bank buildings by picking the
locks.
This is the season of the year when
all classes of tramps make their way
south from the north, and may rob-
berries and attempts ar being chroni-
cled throughout the South.
The news dispatches have had moth
ing to say of the attempted robberies

AMENDMENT LOSES
IN ELECTION TODAY
The amendment to the charter lost
in the election by vote of 155 against
and 81 for the amendment.

he regular election today for three
members of city cuoncil was about the
quietest Americus has ever witnessed,
apparently little interest being taken
there. This was due to the fact that
candidates had already been elected
by primary, and the voting today was
a formality only.
Aldermen-elect J. E. Poole, Reese
Horton and I. j. Kalmon received
practically the full vote cast, and
will assume their new duties as al
dermen next Wednesday, 22nd.
The main issue today was the vot-
ing upon the proposed charter amend
ment to the city school board act,
governing the election of members OF
the board of education. While the
result was not known at the house
the Times-Recorder went to press, the
defeat of the amendment was rathe.,
conceded.
At that hour, o'clock, less than
$50 votes of the ABS registered had
been polled.

LONDON DENIES
REPORTS ALLIES
FA|R|NC BADL !

LONDON, Dec. 15.-Delayed reports
from Allied sources contradict the
reports that Anglo-French lines in the
Balkans were broken in the retreat
from Serbia. They say that the re-
treat was orderly and the Allies were
able to remove all supplies and artil-
lery.
One report says that the Allied ar
my is within twenty-five miles of Sal
oniki.
Official and unofficial reports tell
o. extremely fierce fighting before the
Allies fell back. According to these
reports, the Teutonic allies have not
crossed The Greek frontier and the
opinion is expressed in some quarters
that they will not.
1t is definitely determined that the
Bulgarians have stopped their pursuit
OF the Allies.
The Turkish war Office declares that
the advantage is still with the Sui
tan's troops in the Mesopotamia fight
ing. 1t is reported that they have
closely approached the British posi-
tion at -El-Amara and cut down
the activity of the British artillery
with counter attacks.
The appropriation estimates submit
ted to the French chamber of deputies
estimates that the cost of the war for
the first quarter of next year will be
$501, 100000 monthly. The average
cost for the last five months this year
was $353,OO0,00O monthly.

That he survived the attack at all IS

hope is held out for his recovery.
