Interesting Notes From That Little
City.

Bronwood, Ga. Feb. 13.-The
Preachers Institute of the Americus
district was held here last week. A
full delegation Ewas present, every
preacher in the district being here.
Bronwood is the center of epidemics
now, first measles, then mumps and
now the white people are teaching
school in negro shanty which is a
disgrace to our good people. The
Bronwood school now has enrolled
1876 pupils and needs graded school
system, and instead of keeping up SO
many electric lights they should invest
the money in larger school building
which is needed more.
Messrs Lucius Hill and RAYMOND
Dozier were here last Thursday night.
The Up jerks party given at the
home of Miss Belle Berry last Friday
night was enjoyed by every one who
attended. They played authors, up
jerks and other games until late
hour, then babe the charming hostess
good night.
Lucius Hill happened to an unusual
accident here the other night. The front
and hind wheels of his buggy exchang-
ed places and the amusing part of it
was that he never discovered ii until
he got to Dawson,
Mr.. G. T. Norton and family of Hol-
most attended Sunday school and
preaching here Sunday.
Bronwood can boast of more pretty
girls and old maids than any other
place in Georgia twice its size,
Mr.. and Mrs. Homer CoIling attend
ed preaching here Sunday.
Mrs. Will Murray left Sunday on a
visit to her parents at Putnam.
George Denham Yves here Sunday the
guest of homefolks.
Don't forget that the Lanier Llterary
League meets at the home of Miss
Belle Berry next Friday night, and
everyone is invited.
The charming Miss Belle Dozier
OF Georgetown, is the guest of her sis

HAS EXTENDED PHONE SERVICE
Americus is Connected With cordeIe
BY Phone.


The telephone system extending
eastward from Americas reached Cor
dele day or two ago, and these two
cities are now in communication, via
the new 'sIong distance. Several weeks
ago Amerlcus was connected up with
Columbus and intermediate points,
via Buena Vista, and soon thereafter
the through line to Lumpkip, Rich
land, Preston and Plains was opened.
The company then began extending its
line on towards Savannah, and already
it is open to Cordele, thirty-three miles
away. Americus, in short while, can
converse with Abbeville and Fitzger-
aid and little later with Savannah
direct, though already we have COM
munication with Savannah via Albany.
Americas is now the centre of most
complete long distance telephone sys-
tenn, being connected not only with the
larger cities of the state but with every
town and village here within radius
of hundred miles.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TINES.
Ito be c~ontinued.)

The persons who walk the streets
and sidewalks Of New York City are
in danger Of having the accident insur-
ance companies put up rates on them.
Last year 53S persons were killed by
vehicles in that metropolis. This
takes no account Of the many other &C.
cidents due to the congestion, the care.
lessness of pedestrians, and the reck.
lessness of drivers. This year the
deathroll viii be much longer because
there are more persons to get in the
way and more automobiles to dash
through the crowds.
In giving warning to the public, the
New York Evening Post which never
appeals to the sensational, says: The
great number of automobiles on the
streets, together with the increased
use of electric cabs and delivery wag-
ons, and the extra service OF the car
lines, has created a state of risk in the
streets which has never been equal.

Arrests for violation of the speed
law are made almost hourly, and some.
times round fines are assessed, but in
spite of this the maddening whirl goes
on. The millions must get out of the
way Of the thousands. or have their
necks, heads, arms, or legs broken.
The districts which were once known
for the quiet of the lives led in them,
il they have well-paved streets, are
now plagued by the whirling autos.
Certain streets are hardly better than
notorious race courses. Fifth avenue
and Broadway, with the driveways in
Central park are the worst of them.
New York being the largest city may
be an exception but the let-her-go and
get-there-at-any.cost spirit is in the air.

EXPEDITION TO THiBET.
The Whole World Will Take an Inter
est In the British Undertaking.

The whole world wfl take an inter
est in the British expedition which
has started toward Thibet, without
much regard for the reasons prompt
ing the Indian government In dis
patching this force.
1t will be strong enough to force Its
way to Lhassa, the capitol OF Thibet,
for the inhabitants Of that country are
not in a situation to offer very for
midable resistance.
Interest attaches to 1t because Of
the policy Of exclusion which has kept
practically all travellers and explorers
out of the country. The Thibetan
government has been not only exclu-
slve, but cruel in its treatment OF
men who have attempted to reach
Lhassa. However much such O spir-
it may have been tolerated In earlier
periods of the worlds history, 1t Is
contrary to the spirit Of modern civ
ilization, and hence Thibet has placed
itself outside the pale Of sympathy.
1t was reported several months ago
that a Russian subject in the disguise
of a Thibetan entered Lhassa, but he
is almost the only foreigner who has
been able to reach that city and re-
turn with q report on the character
and condition of the country. His
evidence contradicted reports former.
ly more or less generally accepted
that Thibet contained an enormous
population. 1t seems from what he
said hat he population is something
like 3,O00,O 900, and that the country
does not possess very valuable re-
sources that are developed. If his es-
innate is correct, the British expedi-
ton will probably not have much diff
ficulty in forcing its way to the heart
of the country.
BY means of this enterprise the
public will obtain much coveted In
formation concerning the least
known part of the civilized world. It
Is because of the results of this ua-
ture that may be achieved that men
everywhere will be interested In the
