NAPLES MAY GIVE
UP To THE SHERIFF

MOULTRIE, Ca, July 1S.-It is re-
ported that Albert Naples, who stands
| indicted and charged with the alleged
murder of c. B. Gilmore, former coun-
| ty convict warden, will surrender to
the sheriff and ask for a speedy trial.
In case Naples does come in ana
give himself up, it is likely that he
will be tried at this term of superior
court. 1t is understood that a for
midable array of attorneys have been
secured to represent him. 1t has been
reported before that Naples would
return and give himself up, but each
time the rumor proved incorrect and
whether or not the same thing will
be the case this time remains to be
seen.
1t will be remembered that Gilmore
was slain last November. Naples, who
is charged with the crime, left the
day of the homicide.
The commissioners offered reward
for his arrest and this was later SUP
plemented by a reward offered by
Governor Harris.

MILLIONS LOST
IN IN FLOOD FLOOD WHICH WHICH
WASHED SKY LAND

The flood waters through North and
South Carolina, Tennessee and vir-
ginia are receding today. The total
death list has reached nineteen and
about dozen persons are unaccounted
for The property loss continues to
grow as isolated towns and counties
are heard from, and the first esti-
mates of about fften millions damage.
will in all probability be substantially
increased.
Numerous landslides are reported.
Two of these resulted in the fatal in
jury of four persons near Brevard, n.
g, two of the victims dying today, and
the others still lingering in a precar-
icus condition.
Reports from Charlotte and Ashe-
vile, the sections where the full force
of the floods was experienced, show
some improvement. Public utilities in
both these cities are being gradually
restored, but street cars are not oper-
ating full schedules, and parts of both
cities are in darkness because of dam
aged power lines.
1t will probably be two weeks before
railroad schedules are fully restored,
the tracks having been almost totally
destroyed in many sections. Many
cotton mills in the Carolinas are idle.
and the Yadkin river is reported today
as being nine feet higher than ever
before recorded.
twenty-five houses were washed
away at North Wilkesboro, N. c., and
the tracks of the Watauga and Yawkin
Valley railroad between North Wilkes
boro and Grandlin will have to be al
most rebuilt, so extensively were they
damaged. The principal washouts on
this line are between Hickory and
Lenoir, near the headwaters of the
Catawba river in North Carolina.
Many miles of railroad tracks have
been washed out and expensive rail-
road and foot bridges destroyed in
South Carolina. In that state extern
siye damage was also sustained by
growing crops and property located in
lowlands. Eighty-three carloads OK
peaches en- route north from Georgia
points are standing on the tracks at
Greenville, S. c., beyond which point
it is impossible to transport the fruit.
The railroads are unable to move the
peaches in any direction because Of
the foods and all of the eighty-three
cars will prove total loss.
The weather bureau at Washington
today forecast generally fair weather
throughout the flooded states today
ard tomorrow

sEAB0ARD GHOST" WAS
ON WARPATH YESTERDAY

The ghost of the Seaboard Air
Line railway walked yesterday. In
fact, about $4,000 was turned aloose
in the city by the monthly pay checks
from the s. A. l.. road
This is no small sum, and goes well
in these times for the city. 1t is
hoped that as days and months roll
BY it will be increased.

FIVE AND ONE HALF
FOOT ALLIGATOR NOW

An alligator measuring five and one
half feet in length was caught yester-
day at Browns Mill by Doc Eldridge
and Emory Rylander, while out enjoy
ing the waters of the millpond and
netting. The alligator was shot in
one of his legs, which accounts for his
capture.
He was brought to the city and is
now peacefully reposing near the
store of Levy-Morton Co.

Be Some Time Yet.


Though the belief is expressed by
some that the Second Infantry may
leave Macon Friday for Texas, the
more conservatiye-and better ground
ed-opinion among the officers and
men at Camp Harris is that the regi-
ment will not entrain until it is much
better equipped than is now the case.
Experienced military men, both Off
GERS and soldiers, recognize that the
Second is now far from being ready
for service in the field, so many i'm
portant details of equipment being
lacking that the regiment would be
forced to undergo much unnecessary
discomfort were it now ordered to the
border.
That this is apparent to the regular
army officers is beyond doubt, and
hence it should. be we'll known by the
war department At the present rate
in which supplies are being received
and issued, it would be impossible fo'
the Second, or any other Georgia unit,
to be sent to the front this or next
ol- ..,4,,c 80
emergency demanding such action.
For this reason, it is confidently be-
lieved that the Second will not be or
dered to entrain until the first week
IN August, by which time it is proba-
bic that the entire brigade will be pre-
pared to go with it.
Something About Del Rio.
Another interesting item relates to
Del Rio, thought to be the destination
On the Rio Grande of the Georgia bri-
gade. This town is comparatively
small and has a population said to be
two-thirds Mexican. The main portion
Of the little city is nearly a mile from
the custom house which is located ON
the river front A short distance
northwest of Del Rio is an old mill
tary reservation, and it is believed this
will be the headquarters of Brig. Gen.
Walter A. Harris and his staff, of the
Georgia brigade. If this be the case,
the headquarters will be amply ac-
commodated and will be spared much
of the trouble incident to locating in
the field. According to dispositions
made of other state troops that have
reached the border, the various unite
will be held in one camp until better
trained and completely equipped, after
which they will be designated for sta
tions along the frontier in pursuance
CT the plan of unbroken border patrol.
Eagle Pass, where the Maryland
troops are stationed, is some forty or
fifty miles southeast of Del Rio, and
it is probable that the Georgia and
Maryland troops will join at some
midway point the soldiers from anoth-
cr state being on the right of the Geor-
gia brigade. At Spofford, just south

to send home some lessons of real
patriotism.

to Mr.. Philip LAngdon and I took it
straight to him. Then him and me
beat 1t back to the police station and
he had a conference with the Magis-
trate. Then he shook my hand and
thanked me like q gentleman, and

sane, and then would lapse into de-
lirium again. Did she mention any
particular incident-or ask you any
strange questions2"
yes. Once she said, He acts fun
NY for man who has Just put on a

sat up and grabbed me and cried,
Was 1t blood or-was 1t just a red
necktie-I saw tt And | said, You
saw 1t whereT And she said-sane as
she could be, 1t was the other man
outslde-I couldn't see his face-just
the red Then she began to cry and
went of again into delirium, or what
ever you call 1t. Next time she opened
her eyes, she asked II I knew whether
James Pollock was dead or If she had
dreamed It, and said so far as I knew
James was about the Invest thing I'd
ever bumped against in this old town.
Then she sighed like kid and went
to sleep, but when she woke up she
seemed to know he was dead"
Did she make any other mention of
the man with the red tie2"
mo. When l asked her, she said it
was blur, but 1t would come back to
her-she was sure of that Someone
else would have seen it too"
THAT is all" began Langdon, and
broke off In establishment. There was
commotion in the back of the room
and a man stood up, raising one hand
as II about to speak. His face was
ashy, his jaw dropped. Then as sud
denly as he had arisen he dropped
back out of sight into his chair.
