RAISE RATES on
LIGHTS IS HEARD
HEARING BEFORE RAILROAD COM
MISSION IN ATLANTA TODAY
NO OPPOSITION MADE so FAR
AS Is KNOWN.

The application Of the Americus
Lighting Company for an increase in
its rates, amounting to about fifteen
per cent, is being heard today by the
railroad commission in Atlanta
Manager Joe Johnson, Attorney w
A. Dodson adm Consulting Engineer w.
6. Eager, of Valdosta, are in Atlanta in
attendance on the hearing.
So far as is known, there is no op-
position before the commission, and it
Is expected that the petition will be
granted.
The proposed audit of teh company's
books which the company invited, was
not made, although the city council
agreed to bear half the expense of it.
An accountant named by the aril-
road commission was not satisfactory
to the citizens committee, and the
company refused to permit an auditor,
who was not a certified public ae-
countant, who had been selected by
the committee, to, go over the books.
III consequence no audit was made.

WILL PROSECUTE
WADE DEFENDANT
FOR M|SDEMEANOR
CHARLIE CHAPMAN, JR, JOHN
ETHERIDGE AND WALTER JOHN
SON TO BE CHARGED AS ACCES-
SORES AFTER THE FACT.

At the next term of court, the Sum
ter county grand jury will be asked
to indict Charles Chapman, Jr., John
Etheridge, and Walter Johnson as ac-
cessories after the fact in the murder
of Walter Wade.
/ The present idictments charging
murder itself will be continued in
force, but the three men will be put
on trial, one at a time, for the mis-
demeanor offense.
If the evidence should develop suf-
ficiently to sustain the murder charge
that would then be prosecuted.
However, it is now admitted that
there is no evidence to warrant their
conviction for murder, and that if such
a verdict was returned against them
il would not be upheld.
The prosecution feels that the decis-
ion of the judge in permitting these
three their liberty on bond was tanta-
mount to indicating that they could
not, and should not, be prosecuted.
for murder.
In consequence, Solicitor General
Fort is preparing to re-indict them
before the next grand jury, and to
charge them specifically with having
assisted in the disposition of the body
of Waiter Wados Jointly with two de-
PENDANTS who have been tried and CON
victed.
