HON. E. B. LEWIS.
OF MONTEZUMA.
KILLS HIMSELF

MONTEZUMA, Ga, Dec. 11.-Hon
prominent citizens and bankers, as
we'll as former congressman from the
Third congressional district, shot and
killed himself Friday afternoon
about 5. o'clock in the private office
of his bank here.
The suicide of Mr.. Lewis has
caused widespread sorrow through
out this community. There was no
Indication that he contemplated the
act. His financial affairs were in
the best of shape, while his health
was apparently perfect.
Besides being president of the
also an extensive farmer and fruit
grower. He leaves a wife, two broth
ers. Minor Lewis, of Montezuma.
and John Lewis, of Valdosta, and two
daughters. Mrs. w. H. Mckenzie, of
Montezuma, and Mrs. Springer Will
ingham, Of Macon.
County officials stated that the acts
Of the former congressman during
the last few days were like those Of
an insane man.
The investigation shows trat on
entering his private Office Mr.. Lewis
tOunQ Joe collins, OF MOnteZuma,
awaiting a conference. The banker
Informed Collins that he was ''in no
frame of mind to talk business"
and, according to Collins. the bank
er said get out, as 1 intend to COM
nit suicide"
Collins said he stepped to the
cashiers office and informed Thomas
Marshall, Jr., the cashier, of the
conversation. The latter went to
the bankers private office and asked,
he said. if he had been called. He
received the same command as was
given to Collins, and had hardly
turned his back when the shot was
heard.
There were two letters found on
the bankers desk, one being adj
dressed to the bankers brother,
Minor Lewis, of this city, and an
other to the bankers wife. Neither
of the letters was made public.
The Lewis banking institutions
have had no financial difficulties, and
banking friends of the former con-
gresham say that both are sound.
This family has operated banks in
Georgia for years, at HaWkinSVllle
and Montezuma, and none has ever
experienced financial trouble.

for the Georgia and Florida rail-
road, came here from ValdOSta

formation has been given out by E.
R. Galloway, president the new hotel
company, that contracts will be let
and work begun shortly after the
first of the year. This project, for
which $343, COO has already been sub
scribed and a $4,000 lot purchased,
has been delayed for some months on
account of the high prices of ma
terial and labor. 1t is confidently
felt that after the turn of the year
materials and labor prices will have
reached such point that going for

tires had been worn ragged, the fabric,

the makers profited by the expert

Miller Cord truck tires are made of
thousands OF cable cords floated layer
on layer in new live rubber. These
tires neutralize road shocks keeping
them from truck and load. Both truck
and load rest upon a heavy air cush-
ion protecting the vehicle, extending
its period of usefulness, permitting
the safe hauling of the most fragile
and allowing a speed of
from 20 to 35 miles an hour with per-
feet safety on country roads.

and they have Miller geared to the
road tread. This tread is an exclusive
feature It fits the road surface like
the teeth in gear, insures traction at
all times, prevents skidding and saves

The Chandler & Rudd Co, of Cleve-
land one of the largest grocery houses
in the middle west tested 15 proni-
nent makes of tires for four years
over 100000 miles Of road, and in the
end adopted Miller pneumatics as
those giving the greatest mileage and
the maximum economy.

falo, operating several trucks run each

pNEuMATIcs 1T is DISCOVERED.

Pneumatic tires for motor trucks
cut highway transportation cost in
half by permitting twice the speed,
with safety, that solid tires permit is
the assertion of pneumatic tire build
ers. It is also claimed they extend the
life Of the vehicle by protecting it from
road shocks and vibration and save
gasoline and oil by providing better
traction at all times.
These are a few of the arguments
made for the pneumatic tire in the
Ship By Truck movement by the
most prominent engineers in the tire
building industry.
With solid tires from 10 to Is miles
Is the maximum speed attainable with
safety and the average speed is little
better than 10 miles per hour. The
truck equipped with pneumatics may
be driven at from 20 to 35 miles per
hour--or at passenger car speed.
So skillfully are these tires made and
so rigidIy have they been tested by
the producers that the truck owner
gets the maximum service from pneu-
mates. An illustration OF how care
fully these tires are produced Is to be
found in the heavy duty cord tire de-
partment of The Miller Rubber Co., at
Akron. This company several years

cords and placed them on trucks

trucks at Buffalo, has formulated a
very convincing argument for truck
prospects among the farmers.
The average farmer is against the
city people," Mattice points out.
When / begin talking the high cost
cf living to the farmer, he wants to
throw me off the farm, but immedi-
ately becomes my friend when I dis
cuss the cost of cow feed"
IF the American farmer will con-
tinue to purchase trucks and tractors,
It will lower the cost of feed or In
crease the price Of milk products,
without increasing the cost of feed.
Government statistics show that it
takes 5 acres of ground to keep a
horse a year. and of that 365 days the
average horse is idle 1872 days, but still
eating. The truck and tractor elimin-
ate horses and get their feed from
lint.e- the ground. 1t doesn't take any
human energy to make horses, but it
requires thousands of men to make
trucks and tractors. The more people
in the city the better the farmer IL
off from the fact that all the city
jewellers have to come to the farmer
for what they eat.
There are 80 million horses in the
United States that can be eliminated
by trucks and tractors; thus releasing
$50 millions of acres of land that will
