YOUTH OF A CITY
Americas Public Schools to Resume
Tomorrow.
TEN HUNDRED GIVEN TICKETS,
Enrolment The Largest at Begin
ming Here in Several Years. White
Pupils 545 and the Colored Number
512 Enrolled Already.

When the bell taps at $50 o'clock
tomorrow morning eleven hundred
Americus school children will fall in
line and march into the several depart
ments in FurIow, Rees Park and Nc
Kay Schools, ready toenter upon
what promises to be the most prosper
GUS of school years here.
And while l, 100 will start tomorrow,
the number will be very largely in
creased within month.
Up to noon yesterday Supt. Mathis
had issued admission cards to 545
white pupils and 512 colored, total of
1,057. Others registered later in the
day, and the schools will open with at
least 1, 100 in attendance.
Supt. Mathis is well pleased at this
excellent beginning, and feels confident
that this term will be the most sue
cessful term in many years, if not in
the history of our schools.
AS will be seen, the white pupils out
number the colored slightly.
At this time many negro children
are working in the cotton fields, but
will come back later. Last year they
numbered 800, and it is fair to assume
that the number this term will increase
to that proportionately already shown
in the white schools.
All the teachers have come home
from their vacations, and are ready for
school work again.
Supt Mathis urges upon parents
the advisabilityl of sending children
of the primary grades tomorrow, as
he is anxious to have all the little
ones start school even at the begin
ming. The school board does not ap-
prehend any further danger here upon
the score of scarlet fever.
The opening tomorrow will be an
suspicious one. May it be successful
and prosperous as well.

COLoRED PEOPLE IN MEETING.
Adopt Resolutions Upon Death of The
President

At meeting yesterday of number
of the representative colored citizens of
Americus, the following resolutions
upon the death Of President Mckinley
were adopted:
Whereas it is our belief that Presi-
dent McKinley's administration has
been paramount to that of any of his
predecessors by reason of the fact that
more good has been done for all of the
citizens of these United States IRE
spective of race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude," Therefore,
Be it resolved, That in President
McKinley's death great man has fall
en-, the country has lost its greatest
soldier and statesman and that this
union has lost man of the keenest
foresight and best Judgment of all
things pertaining to the welfare of this
government.
Resolved, That the announcement of
President Mckinley s death this morn
ing brings the deepest sadness and
gloom to the Heart of every colored cit
izen in Americas, and that Mrs McKin-
ley has our sympathy IN her great be-
reavement.
Resolved further, That a copy of
these resolutions be sent Mrs. McKin-
ley, the Tlmes-Recorder and the At
lanta Journal. Signed:

Geo. W. Lane, Pewamo, Mich,
writes: "Your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
is the best remedy for indigestion and
stomach trouble that ever used. For
years suffered from dyspepsia, at
times compelling me to stay in bed and
causing me untold agony, l am COM
pletely cured by Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.

fer from indigestion l always offer to

THE CITY IS BOWED
IN GRIEF AT NEWS.
Americas Grieyes With Nation In Nc
Kinley S Death
ALL BUsINEss IS DEPRESSED.
Flags Half Masted as Mark of Re-
spect-Markets Closed and No De-
mand For Cotton. which fact Put
Stop to Business.

1t was day of sorrow for the Ma
ton, and nowhere was that grief more
manifest on Yesterday than in Ameri-
Gus. Quickly the news of the Presi
dents death spread over the city, and
while prepared for it the sorrow upon
all sides was none the less general, or
less sincere.
He was the nations ruler, and all
citizens alike esteemed him.
The effect was marked upon nearly
all lines of business, and particularly
in the cotton trade. Here matters
were practically suspended, there be-
ing market reports from any source.
Cotton bales piled in from every di-
rection aud warehouse receipts were
all that one expected, yet the quicken
ed pulse of business was not felt IN
these quarters. Buyers were in the
dark, and did not care to touch the
staple to any extent in such state OF
uncertainty.
Where few sales were forced by
farmers needing money it was at pric-
es bat little above7 cents-a quarter off
from the day before.
In other lines the amount of bust
ness done was disappointing.
The sole topic seemed to be the
death of the President and it's effect
upon conditions generally. All real
lied that the South wonld feel the
blow more keenIy, perhaps, than any
other section. Mr.. Mckinley was q
true friend of the South and would
have advanced her interests.
AS mark of respect, among the
many others shown here, the i'm
mense flag on Furlow School was put
at half mast, and will be allowed to re-
main there until after the funeral.
