the Commissioners with reference to the
refusal Of their application TO place an
asphalt roof on Il laundry in this city.
They call the attention Of the Commits

Police Headquarters is at present, are
both covered with roofing similar to that

dry. The writer's inform the Commis-
sioners that they laid the roofs referred

them and those it is intended to lay is
that they have Stag in their composition.

IN CHARGE OF FORTIFICATIONs.
Man Who Constructed Pekin Defenset
to Visit Washington.

to Visit Washington.
Rev. Francis D. Gamewell, who superin-
tended the construction Of the Notifications
which saved the besieged legations in Pc
kin, Is expected to visit Washington in the
near future. Mr.. Gamewell was born in
Camden, 8. c., and came Of old-time south
ern Methodist stock, his grandfather and
three uncles having been Methodist preach
ers. Rev. DIR. Charles Taylor, founder of
the Missionary Society of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South in China, was his
uncle.
Mr. Gamewell graduated from Dickinson
College. Carlisle. Pa. in 1881. In the fall
of that year he went by appointment of the
Missionary Society of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church to China and was located at
Pekin.
In 1884 he was appointed superintendent
of the West China mission, from which he
was driven by the Boxers in 1885, he and
his little company barely escaping the rage
of the mob. He returned to Pekin and re-
sumed his work In that city, having been
for more than ten years professor of chem
istry and physics in the University OF Pc
kin.
Mr. Gamewell was warmly complimented
by Minister Conger for his course during the
sic ge Of the legations in a letter, of which
the following is copy:
You deserve and Will receive the lasting
gratitude OF all the Pekin besieged. But
I cannot separate from you in this hour of
our providential deliverance without bear
ing testimony that to your intelligent and
untiring effort, more than to that Of any
other man. do we owe our preservation. 1
beg you to accept the most hearty express
sion of my personal appreciation of your
work and my sincerest gratitude therefore.
With the earnest wish that continued health
and prosperity and happiness may be the
lot Of Mrs Gamewell and yourself I am
sincerely your friend"

Quality and Quantity.

From ''Pubnclty.
Silk is worth more than calico. but is
subject to exactly the same rules Of meas
urement
on tn. same basis.
Quality determines the price by the yard
quantity the cost Of the piece.
And the rule that applies to the selling
of silk and calico governs with equal force
the selling of advertising space.
The only difference Is that the unit of
measurement, instead of being yards, Is
thousands of circulation.
The publisher who refuses to make
definite statement Of circulation, who be-
comes indignant when an advertiser de-
r,ands proof Of his estimates or who de-
he does not have to depend upon cIroula-
ton statements TO sell his space. is simply
talking through his wheaagear rather
through the vacuum pnder bis headscar
The mere aaEt-Who attempted the same
pl;n would be calleA a fool--the farmer
who tried to self wheat without measuring
il, or the real estate man who put forth a
clam that his land Vas so charmsngiv 10
ca ted that /: was. not, necessary to make q
definite survey Of it, Would go down on the
records of men s. mefnory as a swindler.
And, between You and me. advertisers are
rapidly learning that the publisher who re-
fuses to make AN authentic circulation
statement belongs to the same class
There can be hut one reason for refusing
proofs of circulatiorl.sand that is lack Of
Circulation. The, publisher who declares
ioo, 900 copies each. Issue. and declines to
snow his books 10 proof of It, can be put
down, in at least nine cases out of ten, as
deliberate liaTt The only men who are
proof Of their fish stories are the ones who
haven't any fish to show. And 1t can be
accepted as an axiom that the publisher
who refuses to prove his circulation hasn't
much to prove.
Advertisers have right to know what
they are buying, and to know it positively.
Some publications are worth more than
Others per thousand: but after ALL quality
only determines the value per unit of
measurement = quantity must govern the
worth per issue. The advertiser who de-
mands detailed statement of circulation
does not impute dishonesty on the part of
statement is pretty conclusive proof that
he Is dishonest.

CALL RENDERED
Coming to Americas AS Bible Instruc

TO ARRIVE EARLY IN JANUARY
Comes as Bible Instructor and Assis.
tant With Work at First Baptist
Church-His Acceptance of Call At
fords Much Pleasure.

DIR. W. A. Nelson, of Jackson Ga. is
coming to Americas early in January
to enter upon his work as bible in
structor at First Baptist church. The
acceptance by DIR. Nelson a day or two
ago of the formal invitation extended
recently by this church affords much
pleasure to that congregation and our
people generally. While here three
weeks ago assisting the pastor, Rev.
r. E. Neighbour, in conducting great
revival, DR.. Nelson made q most fav-
orable impression, and upon his re-
turn to Jackson the church body i'm.
mediately extended him an invitation
to reside IN Americus as bible instruc-
tor. This invitation has just been ac-
cepted. DR.. Nelson is a thorough
bible student and expounder of the
scriptures, man of scholarly attain
ments, and his work here will be most
beneficial Both Doctor and Mrs.
Nelson made many friends during their
stay of two weeks here, and all will re-
joice at their early return as residents
OF Americus.

Morning, Perhaps,

The third week of the session OF

largely to the task of clearing the Jail
of it's inmates, as Judge Littleiohn
will probably enter upon that docket
Tuesday morning. He may or may
not hear other civil cases at this term
of the court.
The old Bank of Americus case will
be disposed of Monday.
This relates to the disposition of GER
tain money in the hands of the receiv-
or of the bank. Judge Spence comes
here to preside in this case. Judge
Littlejohn being disqualified.
Short work may be made of the
criminal docket when once start is
taken, as thery are very few cases that
will require any length of time in the
hearing, Nearly all Jail cases are for
misdemeanor ofenses, and a great
many of these will go to the city court.
Up to this time the grand jury has
passed upon hundred indictments
sent in, returning true bills in perhaps
sixty five cases.
