The PITH AND POINT
OF WHAT IS SAID
By People of Americas in Various
Walks.
TALKED WHILE THEY TRADED
A Roundup Of The News and Gossip
Of Day Here in Americas = A
Bunch of Little Tales Whacked off
Quite Short.

Get ready for garden work. Onion
sets, peas, and the freshest stock of
garden seeds of all kinds, at Hudson's
drugstore.
Cliff Clay Jr. selling Dawes hats in
half dozen Southern states, stopped
off IN Amerlcus yesterday to spend a
week at his home.
The courthouse clock got muddled
yesterday and went on strike by re-
fusiDg to strike, but few twists Of the
handle set it going again.
The southbound vestibule came in
two hours late yesterday. AS rule it
is on time to the minute and comes
loaded with passengers.
The two Seaboard collisions this
week, resulting in the smashing of
four engines and many cars, will make
more work at the shops here.
Mrs. Emma r. Greene, deputy So
preme commander, Ladies of the Mac
cabees of the World, is spending few
days in Americas on business.
Farmers are hauling cotton seed to
Americas and swapping them for cot
ton seed meal to be used as fertilizer,
thus cutting down guano bills.
The Mardi Gras rates are in effect
now, but as yet only two or three
Amerlcus people have gone to New
Orleans to see the great festival
The chief of big band of gypsies
camped in the vicinity of Americus is
worth 800, 1000, while every member of
the band is in good circumstances.
1t Is estimated that fully ten thous-
and bushels of peas have been sold by
farmers in Amerlcus recently st an
average price of dollar per busheI
Freezing weather continued here
yesterday, the weather being the cold
est of the new year. It may help the
fruit crop; the Lord help the people.
IT man lives in his own house he
pays interest on his own mortgage; If
he lives in rented house he pays the
interest on SOMEBODY else's mortgage.
There is laughter for the laughable,
music for the musical, and much to
commend and laronize in the per-
Romance of the newest, ga Breezy
Time"

POLICE CANNOT DRAW SALARY.
Another Feature of The Present Feud
Arises.

"a policeman's lot is not happy
one." Certainly is this true if the po-
liceman lives in Americas and is not in
favor with the administration
For the policeman must pay house
rent and grocery bills, and if the pay
master declines to pay unto him the
shekels he has earned the situation be-
comes a serious one from the stand
point of the copper. And that Is the
hard proposition some of them here are
now up against.
Their salaries, they say, have been
refused them when demanded.
And thus another feature of the I'M
fortunate gquabble between the city
council and the police commission de,
velops, and in which the unpaid po-
liceman is the principal sufferer.
About half of the members of the
force-that contingent which, two
weeks ago, as it is understood, promis-
ed to serve according to the ordinances
prescribed by the mayor and city coun-
cil-ha7e been paid their salaries for
January. But there are others-pen
niless others.
These are the ones who did not re-
spond to the mayors call on January
22nd.
This was the date fixed by Mayor
Fielder for the policemen to decide
whether they would obey orders under
the revised ordinance, or continue to
serve under the police commission.
Three policemen responded to the
call and four did not. The four who
did not had not received their January
pay up to yesterday afternoon.
Some of them called at the city hall
for their wages but did not get them.
These men say they have always en-
forced the ordinances of the city for
years past and will so continue to do.
But their understanding of the ordi-
nances does not coincide with that of
the powers.
Be this as it may, these members of
the force were turned down when their
pay was demanded.
It was said yesterday that one of the
attorneys representing the police COM
mission in the present litigation was
preparing mandamus proceedings with
the view of compelling the city author
tiles to pay those policemen to whom
payment of their salaries was refused.
And thus another feature in the un-
fortunate police squabble arises.
