TRAVELLING MAN
SUDDENLY
IN HOTEL ROOM

Americus was shocked Wednesday
afternoon when the sad news became
known that Mr.. C. C. Phillips had sud.
denly died from heart failure in his
room at the Hotel Windsor about 4
O'Clock
Mr. Phillips was in his room at the
hotel with his wife and small daugh
ter when suddenly he fell from his
clair and expired before aid could
reach him.
Well known, popular, generally ad,
mired among a wide circle of friends
Mr.. Phillips was gentleman whom
all men rejoiced to know. He was 80
years of age, and had been with the
Capital City Tobacco Co. since its
foundation. HIS territory was south
Georgia below Macon, and with his
family had made his home in Americus
since September, 1915.
Mr.. Phillips had been unwell for the
past several weeks, and only few
days ago returned from the Carolinas
where he was visiting because of being
i'll.
He was one of the moving spirits in
the newly-organized Americus Travel
ing Mems association. Mr.. Phillips
was member of the Albany lodge of
Elks, and the Americus lodge served
as an escort at the request of their
Albany brothers.
His wife and little daughter Gather
crime, survive Mr.. Phillips, and two
sisters, Mrs. Felix J. Axley, of States
vile, n c., and Mrs. John Carlton, OF
Atlanta
The remains were sent to States

icus lodge of Elks were C. S. Ansley,

DEATH TOLL FOR
TERRIBLE WRECK
STILL UNKNOWN

CLEVELAND, O., March 30-The
death toll of the Amherst wreck early
yesterday, it now appears certain, will
exceed twenty-seven dead. The final
figure, however, will not be known for
several days.
At least two among the injured
now at Elyria, it is stated, will die, and
perhaps others may not survive.
County, federal and railroad officials
are here today, all preparing to inves-
tigate the cause of the disaster The
only names mentioned as among those
probably to blame, are those of Tower
man Ernest and Engineer Hess, of
the second section of the Baltimore
Buffalo Flyer. Neither of these has
yet been accused of carelessness, but
indications are that one or the other
must be held responsible.

SMOOTH WORKER.
ON LOCAL FOLKS
BEEN ARRESTED

Jack Nicholson, white man about
thirty years of age, said to be Greek
was arrested in Columbus last night
on charges of forgery. One of the
charges stands in Muscogee county
and the other in Taylor county.
John K. Saccadelis, one of the mem
bers of the local Greek colony, insists
that the arrested man is George Kera-
mites, who formerly worked in Amer
icus. The local Greeks say that Kera-
mites is Turk, and not a Greek, his
home being at Zmerna, Turkey.
Nicholson, posing as ]. ]. Lanier,
who is we'll known here, where he for
merly lived, telegraphed the South
ern Investment company, of Americus,
with 0. M. Powell as manager, by the
Postal Telegraph Co., from Columbus,
on Monday, requesting that $1OO be
sent him Immediately, and that Powell
come to Columbus.
1t appears that Mr.. Lanier is inter
ested in the company, and Mr.. Powell
promptly telegraphed his the requested
amount. The party, said to be Nichol-
son, received the money readily, as Mr..
Powell had waived the requirement of
Identification in Columbus. Powell
wrote Lanier, following the request
aid upon receipt of the letter, Lanier
advised the Americas manager of the
concern he had made no such request
The Postal Telegraph company,
through its manager here, Sam Wit
hanson, took the matter up and the
Columbus Office was advised. 1t ap.
peared that all traces had been lost
of the man who secured the money.
Late Wednesday afternoon Powell
received another telegram, requesting
$3.50, signed Lanier, and sent fror,
Howard, Ga, via. the Western Union
Telegraph Co. Immediately, Powell
advised the local Postal Telegraph of
flee. When Nicholson reached Colum-
bus he telephoned to the Postal Office,
inquiring if any money was there for
him, and they, having full knowledge
of the late developments, advised him
to come to the office. Officers were in
formed, and when Nicholson came to
the Postal Office in Columbus early last
night he was arrested.
Mr. Powell is in Columbus today,
where he will press the charges of for
gerry against Nicholson. 1t is imposs.
bic at this time to link the story
Whereby it can be found how Nichol
son learned so much of the business
details existing between Powell AMI
Lanier.
Nicholson was bound over this morn
ing at preliminary hearing in Colunl
bus under a 5000 bond. He stoutly
maintains his innocence Mr. Powell:
who returned today from Columbus
recognized the man as Keramites, who
formerly lived here.
The local Greeks say the man bears
a bad reputation among them, as he
has secured several sums of money
from them.
