COUNCIL TACKLES THE BLINDS
And in its Wisdom Says Let There be
Light.

The city council is determined to
'spull down the blinds" at places here
where ''soft'' drinks are sold, if it has
the right to do so. And City Attorney
Taylor assures the solons upon this
point.
This was the decision reached at
last nights session.
For several weeks the matter of
adopting an ordinance prohibiting
blinds in places where drinks of this
character are sold has been with the
ordinance committee of the council.
Last night Chairman Query sub.
mitted report recommending, in
substance, that inasmuch as state war
rants had been issued against some of
the parties here maintaining screens
that no action be taken by council until
after the grand Jury had investigated
the charges.
Other members were for immediate
action, and when vote was taken it
stood four to three in favor of an or
dinance prohibiting screens.
One of the aldermen expressed the
belief that this would precipitate a
lively fight, as the dealers might adopt
some other plan as convenient as the
screen and maintain it.
This brought Alderman Oliver to his
feet and warm speech followed.
Alderman Oliver was for conser va
tism, but if fight was wanted he
was in. These places pay no special
license tax, and if necessary a prohib-
ltory tax of $25, 900 might, he thought,
insure prohibition. He was for pro-
hibition straight out, now and always.
It is not improbable that the screen
ordinance will bring about kick from
the dealers, and the result of the con-
test gives promise of being interesting.

GAVE LIBRARY FOR EMPLOYEES.
Worthy Institution is Established by
Seaboard,

Some time since the Times Recorder
noted the fact that the officials of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway Co, in
pursuance of a fixed policy, would
shortly establish at the shops IN Amer
icus well equipped free library for
the use of employees here and trainmen
generally.
And this movement, as was to have
been expected, will be a success from
the very beginning.
The company has had elegant and
commodious apartments fitted up in
one of the main buildings at the shops,
to be used as library exclusively.
Master Mechanic Frank HI. MCGEE
stated yesterday that a lot of
handsome library furniture, made of
curled pine and beautifully polished,
had been placed and the large room
made otherwise attractive in the way
of decorations and furnishings.
The employees wait eagerly for the
entire completion of their library.
When Vice President st. John was
in Americus recently he gave the
project his heartiest endorsement,
and besides promised to contribute a
large number of valuable books.
He had already established a splen-
did library for the shops at Ports
mouth, Va, and thinks Americas
should have one also. AS an educa-
tional feature it is most desirable,
while as pleasant place of resort it
will be heartily supported by the COM
pany's employees here.
The very best books of mechanical
nature will be provided, while the best
daily papers and the leading magazines
will be found upon the tables and
shelves.

HAULING OUT COTTON PICKERs

Farmers want cotton pickers, hun
dreds of them, and the dark cloud that

yesterday as it drifted from the city

Gated that the farmers were getting

With plenty of help the farmers will
harvest this week nearly all of the cot
ton now open, which is practically half
