TEN KILLED AND
MANY INJURED IN
NEW HAVEN WRECK

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-Reports
reaching the offices of the New Haven
railroad here this afternoon say ten
persons were killed and sixteen Others
injured in the disastrous wreck near
Milford, Conn, this morning. Six of
the dead are passengers and four
are trainmen.
The flagman on the special passenger
train sacrificed his life in an effort to
save his train. He ran too close upon
the approaching engine and was crush
ed to death some distance behind the
wreck. The engineer and fireman on
the special, a Pullman porter and six
passengers on this train also persisted
The injured were taken to Bridgeport,
Conn, where they were given needed
attention.
A freight train passing the scene of
the wreck on another track narrowly
escaped destruction when the collis-
sion occurred. One derailed passen-
ger coach struck the flying freight
but failed to overturn any of the heav-
fly loaded cars. The boiler of the
engine pulling the special passenger
blew up just as the freight rain cleared
it and threw wreckage in all direc-
tions.

BRADL LEY HOGG BEEN

Bradley Hogg may be the property of

League, but he is certainly not going
to report to the Turtles for spring
practice-he has that from the rejuve-
hated Chicago National league team
requesting him to report on March
Sth for spring training at Tampa, Fla.
Several weeks ago it was announced
that Hogg had been sold to Memphis,
and that was all that was heard here
abouts until several days ago when a
prominent Southern sporting writer
Insisted that Hogg had never been
waived out of the big leagues-which
cut a deep gap into his sale to Mem
phis.

PLANT BY NOV. 10

BAINBRIDGE, Ca, Feb. 22.-With
twenty prominent Decatur county cit
liens standing sponsor for the new
100000 meat packing plant, Secretary
0uimby Melton, of the Bainbridge
Board of Trade, has announced that
the big enterprise will be ready for
business by November 18th of this
year. The men who have guaranteed
to raise the money for the plant aud
operate it control over $S,O0O,O0O Such
ar enterprise is an easy matter for
them.
Seeing the need of a market for the
hogs and cattle of this and adjoining
counties the Board of Trade began an
investigation early in the fall that has
led to the preliminary organization of
company to operate packing plant in
Bainbridge. The proposed plant will
have capacity of 500 hogs and rs head
os cattle day. The specifications for
the buildings are so arranged that ad-
ditions can be made at any time a nd
the capacity of the plant increased.
Decatur county is one of the largest
producing counties in the state
The federal census reports that $4,000
hogs were raised in this county dur
ing 1915 With the announcement that
a local market would be provided by
next fall, many farmers have gone in
ta hog-raising on large scale and
during 1916 it is estimated that fully
10000 hogs will be raised in this
county alone.
Actual building operations on the
plant will probably begin by the mid
die of April.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-Five persons
are known to have perished in a fire
which destroyed the Colonial Restau-
rant today. The restaurant which was
located in the heart of New York S

story structure, the five upper floors
being used as a lodging house. Hun
dreds of dodgers were awakened in

searching the ruins for bodies miss
ing among those known to have been in
the building last night.
The Colonial restaurant was a fay
critic resort among a certain class of
theatregoing people and was the
scene of many gay after-theatre sup
pers during recent years. The fire
which gutted the building today was
discovered just before dawn and
spread rapidly, Its origin had not been

FOR GOVERNOR NOW

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 22.-Cole L.

candidacy for governor of South Car
olina and will go before the voters Of

overwhelming defeat Following his

thought Blease would retire from ac-

announcement today is contrary to pre-
dictions concerning his probable in i.

MORE ADV|CES ON
GERMAN FUTURE
ATTITUDE HERE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22.-Con-
tdential advices from Berlin this af-
ternoon indicate Germany will soon in
folm the United States officially that
previous assurances that unresisting
liners will not be attacked by subma-
rines will continue to hold good dur
iLg future operations, provided such
liners are not armed.
The Germans, it is understood, take
the position that what is now called
defensive armament" by the Entente
nations, in reality is offensive when
submarines are concerned, the frailty
of underseacraft and the absence OF
armor being urged as justifying the
position. 1t is probable, also, that the
German message will proposed to the
United States a diplomatic discussion
the purpose of which would be to de-
fine clearly what defensive armament
consists of.

RUSSIAN FORCES
HAVE THE UPPER.
HAND|N REPORTS.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Turkish losses
through the capture of Ezrerum by
the Russians appear today to have
been heavy, a Petrograd dispatch esti-
mating the Ottoman losses at forty
thousand men. The Russians continue
pursuing the Turks westward frcm E.
zerum as well as to the north and
south. The Turkish forces have split
up and are fleeing in all directions,
with different groups cut off from COM
munication from one another.
Russians in that area are said to
have solidified their lines until their
advance is rapidly becoming a great
forward drive along an unbrokcn
front extending from the Black Sea to
Mush, west of Lake Van. The Russians
to the north of Erzerum are now
threatening the great Turkish fortress
at Trebizond, the fall of which would
open the way for an attack in force on
Ccnstantinople.
Military operations in Europe today
continue relatively unimportant, with
conflicting reports from German ami
French sources. Berlin dispatches re-
pert the capture by the Germans of
eight hundred meters of the French
position east of Souchez, and the Paris
war Office admits the Germans have
penetrated their first line in the Civ
ehche forest.
The Austrians continue to make
aerial raids over Italy, the latest of
these being in the direction of Milan.
Pcme reports that four persons were
killed and five others sustained injur-
ries as a result of the raid. A Russian
and French parliamentary meeting is
in session today in Paris.

GOVERNORS RACE
ATTRACTION HERE

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 22.-The after
math of the state democratic executive
committee meeting has developed into
general discussion Of the gubernator-
ial situation in which the opinion
seems to be that there is now less
chance than there was before the
meeting of the entrance of any Sc.
rious new candidates in the race.
Quite number of executive commit
teemen called personally on Governor
Harris at the capitol, several of whom
expressed the belief that he woull
succeed himself as a matter of prapcti-
cal certainty, and the view was widely
expressed that independent of any
centimcntalism or partisan considers
tions the election of the incumbent to
a second term would be the logical and
natural outcome of the situation.
The prohibitionists feel that in JUS
tice to ALL the governor who signed
what looks like the first effective pro-
hibition measure in Georgia should be
continued in Office long enough for the
measure to be given a fair test and
enforcement under his administration.

Elk COMMITTEES
BUSY PLANNING
BIC TIME FOR ALL

Several of the committees of the
F,lks' convention met with the execu-
tive committee at the Chamber of Com
merce at 8 o'clock Monday night to
60 over the work of their committees
in preparing for the coming Elks' con-
vention, April 27 and 2S.
General Chairman C. H. Burke pre-
sided over the meeting and the Elks
present were very enthusiastic over
the outlook for the largest convention
the Elks have ever held in any state in
tie South. The work of the several
committees is we'll in hand and their
reports were very gratifying to those
present.
A telegram was read from Mr.. JOS
eph Richardson, secretary of the
Southeastern Passenger association
stating that the general passenger
agents had granted the request made
before them by Secretary Hyman for
low excursion rates. This gives
Americus the rates, and we will get the
crowd.
There is no better money spending
convention than Elks' in Georgia. On
the first night which will be April 27,
there will be a roller skating tourna-
ment from to 10:30 o'clock, the
skating stopping promptly at that time
and dancing to begin. The skating
will be on Jackson street between For
syth and Lamar. The street will be
lighted up like day and handsomely
decorated for the occasion. Several
hundred handsome purple and white
umbrellas and purple crusher hats will

A tentative program was submitted
by Secretary Hyman to the meeting
last night and met with the approval
of those present. There will not be an
idle minute from the time the Elks ar
rive until they leave for home.
From the plans laid out last night
the Elks will give their visiting broth
ers a big time. Americus is noted
over the state for her hospitality, and
she will live up to the standard Joined
in the past, and then some when the
