Guards Posted Near Striker
Squads-Strike-Breake Force
Growing

WAYCR0SS, July 26.-The shop
mems strike situation in Waycross
has remained quiet during the past
twenty-four hours. Both the sh,er-
if and city police report tnat there
have been no disturbance reported
to their offices, and there have been
no additional arrests.
Work of recruiting additional men
for the city and county police forces
has been progressing rapidly, and
both forces have been materially
strengthened. Members of the po-
lice force are stationed near all pick
ct posts maintained by the strikers.
Members of the picket forces are
permitted to speak to men entering
the shops, as long as their language
and conduct does not lead to posi-
bic disturbances.
Additional men are being brought
into the local shops, but no definite
statement as to the number now en-
ployed can be obtained from rail
road officials.
Between fifteen and twenty of the
soldiers posted here have been grant
ed permits to return to their homes.
These were men whose business as
sociations demanded their presence,

SINNERS EMPLOY
NOVEL SCHEME TO
GET SAVE OUSTED

ALBANY July &c. - Rumors
reaching Albany from Quitman hav-
ing it that moonshiners in Brooks
county have hit upon novel scheme
to get rid of Captain Garnett w.
Saye, world war veteran and formed
federal prohibition agent, who went
from here short time ago to accept
the post of chief of county police IN
Brooks county. According to the al
legged plan, the moonshiners met and
decided to quit making "shine" dur
in the summer months, always a dull
season with them, in the belief that
if there is nothing for Capt. Saye to
do, the county commissioners will leU
him go, as he is drawing a large sal
ary. Rumor has it that as a result
of the moonshiners' lockout Captain
Saye has made only one arrest since
he went to Brooks county some two
months ago.

CLIFF WALKER
is VISITOR HERE
Cubernatorial Candidate Guest
OF Rotary Ciub--Jury Slackers
Scored BY Dykes

Clifford Walker, of Monroe, candi-
date for governor in opposition to
Thos. w. Hardwick, the present gov
ernor, was an Americus visitor We'd
nesday and was guest of the Rotary
club at its regular weekly luncheon
as the guest of his brother-in-law,
Frank P. Harold. NY Walker made
q few remarks when introduced but
refrained from mentioning politics.
/ He said he had recently spent week
on the gulf and had discovered that
the section from here to that point
had learned to grow cotton despite
the boil weevil, disproving the belief
now existing about his own home
community that this cannot be done.
w. w. Dykes gave jury slackers a
scoring in talk to the club on the
application of the principles of Ro-
tary to every day life. He declared
it sle duty Of good citizens, along
with the privileges they enjoy under
the law, to do jury duty when called
upon.
President Carr Glover, replying to
Mr.. Dykes, blamed the lawyers them
selves largely for conditions of
which he complained, citing the fact
that not long ago he was called for
jury duty in the City court and serv-
ed three days without being permitted
to sit on single case.

in LONG FLIGHT
Attempted One-Day Jump, PEN

In Failure

An attempted une day flight Of
two DeHaviland airplanes from the

Both planes were under command
Of Lieut.. H. A. Elliott, who was pilot
ing the second airship. He saw the

to take the air again from that point
and called upon Souther Field for
trucks to convey both planes to the
field.
On account Of Souther Field be,
ing inactive, however, trucks were
not available, and instead men and
repair parts were sent to the scene
of. the wreck to put the damaged
plane in shape to continue the flight.
The wrecked plane landed on the
farm of A. C. Murray, on the edge
of Ellaville, and the other on the
Willie Burt place, about 2 1-2 miles
distant. The propeller, rudder and
wings of Lieut.. Lees plane were
smashed.
The flight was to have been start
ed Tuesday, but was delayed until
Wednesday morning, the men get
ting off early. They had planned a
brief stop at Souther. Field for re-
plenisbment of gas and oil and cool
ing of the motors. Souther Field Of

The first holdup took place at
tbe electric plant Of the Amerlcus
Iobting company between 1880 and
Q.6o. o'clock. Capt. j. W. Troy,
Niobt engineer, who is well beyond
nd wears of age, was sitting at his
desk on the second floor making OUT
,aports when someone walked up
behind ham and grasped him rather
fo}.-lv about the throat. He was
expecting his assistant about that
time. and thought the assistant had
arrived and was playing with nm.
When the grasp tightened he at
tempted to throw the stranger down.
AT this iuncture a second stranger
appeared in front of him with a
niece of wood and struck him over
the head, inflicting a skin abrasion
and rendering him unconscious for
ten minutes. When he recovered
between So and $12 in money, his
watch and spectacles were missing.
He notified his employer and Off
GERS and came up town. Two or
three suspects were rounded up and
brought before him he declared each
Of them was not the man. He -e-
sumed his duties about 10 o'clock.
The second holdup occurred latr
in the evening at the new Burgin
! planning mill three miles west of
Americus on the Plains road. Two
men, said to have been negroes,
were reported to have appeared and
asked Mr.. Perry, the night watch
man, for drink. He told them to
help themselves, pointing to the
water when one of them grabbed
him. They held him and took his
money, which happened to be only
$l'2O. At this juncture the light of
a turning autombile flashed upon
them and they fled, leaving him un-
hurt.
Mr. Perry, who is said to be near
u 81 years of age, recently moved
to Americus and resides on Forrest
street.
