CENTRAL OF GEORG|A'S
NET INCOME IS INCREASED
SHOWS A GROWTH OF NEARLY
$75O,OOO IN THE PAST
TWELVE MONTHS.

SAVANNAH, Gao. I'll. Mark
ham, chairman of the board of direct
ors of the Central of Georgia railway,
has submitted his annual report to
the directors for the year ending
June 80 last.
The total operating revenues OF the
system were $12,567,618.29, an in
crease of $459, 433.89 for the year
compared to 1915. The net revenues
were 1922, 551.22, an increase of
$587, 878.27 compared to year ago.
The net income for 1915 was ST.
921,312.99 against $1,202, 055.11 for
1915, an increase of $719, 307.88. An
interesting feature of the report was
the announcement that the Ocean
Steamship Company, owned by the
Central Railway, had declared divi-
dend of 1899, $40 during the year.
The Ocean Steamship company is
using some of its vessels under lease
for foreign freight service and this
accounts for the large extra dividend.

STEWART Shot BROWN
DEAD near LEESBURG
DEAD MAN WAS FOUND SITTING
AT THE STEERING WHEEL
OF AN AUTOMOBILE,

In the public road one mile south
of Leesburg, in Lee county, ii. A.
Stewart was shot and killed by Early
Brown about o'clock Saturday
morning. Brown is in jail at Lees
burg
Both men, who lived at Leslie, in
Sumter county, had been to Albany
in an automobile and were returning
home. Another automobile party
passed the scene of the killing and re-
ported it to officers at Leesburg.
Found in His Car.
Sheriff P. C. Coxwell of Lee coun-
ty and Marshal John Forester of
Leesburg went to the scene and
found the dead man sitting at the
steering wheel of the car with Brown
standing nearby. Brown made no eff
fort to get away. He admitted kill
ing Stewart and claimed self-defense.
He claims that both of them were
drinking and that when they were
nearly to Albany Stewart decided to
turn around and not go the rest OF
the way. Later on, Brown declared,
Stewart again changed his mind and
wanted to go back toward Albany.
This started the trouble between
them, so Brown alleges, and led up to
the killing. A quart bottle of whis-
kew, with a few drinks gone out of IT.,
was found in the car.
Both men were of prominent and
substantial families at Leslie, and are
said to have been the best of friends:
The dead man is cousin of Chief OF
Police Johnson of Americas.

however. notably in those States where
amendments to the State constitutions

ment is reported to be equally strong
for the abandonment Of Sute cam
