MOTHER DIES FROM
Her SONS DEATH

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 3O.--Mrs. W. T.
Smith died here today of apoplexy,
brought on, physicians said, by the
death of her son, Fielding Smith, in
an automobile accident Sunday.
Young Smith, with a party of friends
was returning from a Sunday visit to
the country home of Judge Samuel C.
Atkinson, the accident occurring about
nine miles from Atlanta, when the
car, driven by young Smith, skidded
while passing underneath the Mari
eta car line of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company. Miss Nell Wal
DO, of Atlanta, who was seated be-
side Smith; Miss May Belle Clarke, of
Covington, and Ernest Schoen, who oc-
cupied the rear seat in the car, were
all injured in the accident that cost
the life of Smith, but will recover. The
injuries of Miss Waldo are quite ser
icus, however, she remaining pinned
beneath the car nearly an hour be-
fore being rescued.

SUMTER WANTS A.
Or TWO On.
THESE HIGHWAYS.

Sumter county was sighted by the
newly created state highway commits
sion which will have charge of the
proposed federal fund for road work
in Georgia. Although the pioneer
good roads county in the state and
a consistent believer in the value of
good roads made evident through the
highways themselves, she has been to
tally ignored thus far in the publish
ed plans of the new commission.
The county commissioners of Sum-
ter made application in due form to
TIE highway commission for the work
to be done in this section, and so did
every county between Americus AMI
MaccE-Sumter, Macon and dounton.
The Dixie Highway, fine artery of
travel, was to have been benefited.
Realizing what has been done, the
Chamber Of Commerce has appointed g
com nittee composed of Frank Harold,
L. G. Council, Frank Lanier, w. M.
Jones, Frank Sheffield to confer with the
commissioners at their next meeting
on Monday, November 9th, and az
range plans to attend the state meet
ing of county commissioners in Ma
con on November 9th, when the state
highway commission will be present.
The local organization is extending its
action and will have the cooperation
of of other counties when the meeting
is held at Macon.
The nearest road to Americus and
Sumter county announced by the high
way commission is from Columbus to
Albany. 1t appears that the commits
sion has begun the plans for cross
roads, instead of trunk lines of travel
which are the main arteries to feed the
smaller highways.

WILLIE WILLIAMS
DIES EARLY TODAY
IN ALBUQUERQUE

Willie E. Williams, well known in
Americus, where he had lived almost
all of his life, passed away Monday
morning at Albuquerque, New Mexico,
after an illness of five months. Mr..
Williams left Americus several weeks
ago for the west in search of health,
but his condition has shown virtually
no improvement, and the Grim Reaper
persistently sought his life.
Everybody in Americas and this Sec
ton knew Willie Williams, where for
several years he was at the Windsor
Pharmacy. This genial smile and at
tentiveness to business won him the
esteem and friendship of many. He
had been with Hooks Pharmacy only
few months when he was taken ill
with the fatal malady.
Mr.. Williams was 25 years of age,
and is survived by a wife and two
children. His mother, Mrs. Ty VIII
liams, and two sisters, Misses Eliza
beth and Helen Williams, of Monte
zuma, also mourn his loss.
The remains will be shipped from
Albuquerque, and it is expected that
they will arrive in Americas in abou.
five days. The funeral arrangements
have not been completed, and it is not
known exactly when the corpse will
arrive.
The funeral arrangements are in
charge of Nat LeMaster, of the Amer
icus Undertaking Co.
Numbers of friends are grieved to
learn of Willie Williams death.

mess. Mr.. Williford will enjoy the

TELLS HISTORY AND
SEES FUTURE IN HIS
TALK Of FARE WELL

Rev R. L. Bivins made his farewell
talk at the Furlow Lawn Baptist
crurch Sunday night. 1t was greeted
with interest, and the following is what
Rev. Biyins had to say:
Finally, Brethren, farewell. Be per-
feet, be of good comfort, be of one
mind, live in peace; and the God Of
love and peace shall be with YOU
II. Cor. 1910.
Farewell is hard work to say-not
that | am going away-but reIinauish-
ing the pastorate of the church of nv
youth and of my maturer years is not
easy. | have been with you for nearly
twenty years, this being my first pas
torate, and your first and only pas
tor. We have been associated as pas
tor and people in times of sorrow and
OF sadness, and in times of joy and
g!adness. Many of you 1 have baptiz-
ed. Some of you have married. AL
most all of you have joined the church
during my pastorate. have been with
many of you when crepe on the door
indicated breaking hearts in the home
Naturally, ties have been formed which
to break is like the breaking of heart
strings, or the tearing of the heart out
by the roots.
This church has had always the ar
dent love of my heart You have had
my most loyal service. 1t has been
fundamental with me not to talk about
you, except in praise l have ever
guarded your good name. And now
in the parting l have no word of crit
icism for any, but only good will and
kindly feeling for all. These years
have passed swiftly. They have been
joyour pears to me. Here my children
have been born. Here have beel
formed friendships which shall last a
lifetime. You have been uniformly
Kind to me. Toward my failings and
shortcomings you have been lenienu
and charitable. No virtue has shone
more resplendent in your department
toward me than has your patience
your forbearance. God has been good
to me. / am grateful to you and .oI
Him for these years of service, and of
love OF truth my lines have fallen
in pleasant places" for nowhere ia
all the world coud have found a more
sincerely loving and truly considerate
people.
Did Best During Ministry.
If my ministry has been of benefit
TO any, l am glad While, as | look
back upon it, am not satisfied find
myself wishing had been more dill.
gent; more earnest and more self-sac-
Yet, all things considered. 1
guess l have done my best, and the
POINTS of failure have been the fault
OF weakness and not of intention. You
took me with all the inexperience Of
my youth, and what I am today | am
largely through your influence l feel
that | am stronger and better equip
per man in every way because of my
association with you.
And now: What of the future? AS
If there could be any future not as
sociated with the church of my first
love" shall continue to hold you in
