FOURTEEN DEAD
TOLL OF FLOODS
THROUGH SOUTH
Bridge At Columbus Inn
passible, Trains Sent
Through Here

On account of washouts and floods
and bad weather conditions, telegraph
service in and out of Americus was
badly interrupted today, the receipt
of news dispatches being seriously
interfered with. Telephone informa-
tion, however, disclosed that serious
conditions continued in the Chatta-
hooche valley, both at Columbus and
West Point, although the river is re-
ceding. The use of the bridge across
the river at Columbus was abandon
ed yesterday, and it was stated that
it was unlikely it could be used for
train service for probably 48 hours
more. AS a result the Central of
Georgia's Seminole Limited, Jack
sonville to Chicago, was routed from
Americus by way of Atlanta this
morning, instead of by Birmingham.
The Atlanta and West Point rail-
road trains between Montgomery and
Atlanta were also using the Central
of Georgia tracks through Americas
today. The palatial New York-New
Orleans Limited passed through here
at 8 O'Clock this morning and other
big trains were scheduled to arrive
during the day.
Will Lanier, banker of West
Point, and brother of Frank Lanier,
of this city, passed through here this
morning on his way nome from Flor
ida where he had been on a trip, to
look after his interests hard hit by
the flood. He stated that he had been
informed the water stood six feet
deep in his bank.

PERSHING LAUDS
SOUTHER FIELD
IN INTERVIEW
Hears Good Things Of 1t
Everywhere, He Tells
Party

That Souther Field at Americus
Il considered one of the very best
aving fields in the country, not only
bv himself but by many other army
0Hcers was the information given
BY General Pershing yesterday at
Columbus to party of Americus
citizens who were given a short time
with him aboard his private care at
the Columbus station, just before he
left for Atlanta.
The party headed by President
John Sheffield, of the Chamber of
Commerce, had an appointment with
the general at Fort Benning, but the
flooded condition of that section
made it impossible for them to reach
the camp by auto. They managed
to get in touch with the generals
party by telephone at the camp and
arranged to meet him at his private
ear at the station about o'clock in
the afternoon. At the appointed
hour they were shown to the car.
The general had completed his visit
10 Columbus and there were no per-
sons except members of his staff
about. Within a few moments after
they had been seated in the observ-
alton section of the car General Per-
shing walked in. Introductions and
greetings followed.
owe found the general most
democratic, genial and agreeable
man." said Joseph Perkins, secretary
Of the Chamber of Commerce, today
in telling of the interview. "He ex-
planned to US that en- the night before
Columbus had experienced a near
cloud-burst, interfering with plans
and handicapping his inspection Of
Fort Benning, but that despite this,
he had been highly pleased with the
Fort Benning site as an army train
ing camp.
Frank Harold, speaking for the
party, told the general the people Of
Americus we're sorry that he had not
been able to pay Souther Field a
visit at this time, adding we think
we have the best flying field in the
country
"You are not alone in that opin-
ion, sir" the general replied. "A
great many other persons think like
wise; hear it wherever / go. South
er must be wonderful field. I hope
that may be able at some future
time to pay it and Americas visit"
The Americus party was given
about ten minutes with General Per-
Shing before time for his train to
leave. They were impressed with the
apparent genuineness of his compli-
ments to Souther Field.

IA KNOWN DEAD FROM
FLOOD IN SOUTH.

ATLANTA, Dec. 11.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. Floods in Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia were generally
receding today, but anxiety was felt
over the fate of hundreds of persons
caught by the high water. Fourteen

Binyard's Not Guilty
Plea Escaped Court

That Henry Binyard, the negro in
the Edge murder, who was sentenced
yesterday to year on the chain
gang on plea Of guilty to a charge
of accessory after the fact, informed
the court in his statement that he
was mot" guilty, instead of saying
that the was guilty as stated in the
Times-Recorder yesterday, was the
assertion today of his attorney, w.
7. Lane, who asked that correction
be made at the request of the negro's
relatives.
1t developed, however, that, while
Mr.. Lanes statement was verified
by others persons who sat near Bin
yard that this was not the under
standing of Judge Littlejohn, on the
bench, and many others in the court
room and the judge informed Attor-
ney Lane this morning that had he
under TODD the plea to have been
mot guilty" would not have accept
ed it. He based his sentence upon
the understanding that the negro had
admitted his part in the crime.
1t was admitted by Mr.. Lane that
the negro did not pronounce the
word mot" as volubly as the other
words in his brief statement to the
c. art.

PECANS BRING
RECORD PRICE
FOR POOR TOTS

Six and one-half pounds of lhoire
pecans sold in Americus today for
$65.OO. And thereby hangs a
story. 1t is not definitely settled vet,
whether it was the quality of the nuts,
the persuasive eloquence of "Fess"
Mathis or the appeal of the Empty
Stocking that caused this jump in one
of Sumter's great money crops. But
here's the story:
Mrs. Kelly T. Broadfeld, who lives
in the county, sent 6 1-2 pounds of
pecans to the Times Recorder for the
Empty Stocking Fund. The Times
Recorder sent the nuts to the Rotary
club with the request that they be
auctioned off to the highest bidder.
"Fess' Mathis was auctioneer, and
after an able appeal from him the
bidding began. w. 7. Calhoun was
the lucky bidder at $500 for the
lot. He then donated the nuts back
to the club with the request that they
be re-sold. They were sold in one
pound lots, Frank Sheffield, Frank
Lanier, Walter Rylander, Dock How
ell, j. E. Hightower, for Ruth High.

Harold, paying $500 each for a
pound. The remaining half pound
was sold at $1.0O per nut to the
other members of the club. The list
