the Americas public schools, and The
hundreds attending the county schools,
enjoyed fully the past week of unex-
pected vacation, and will take off their
hats to the N E. A. or any other agen-

like Joyous conditions. All the schools

tomorrow and work on uninterrupted
ly until the real vacation comesin ''the

STRUCTURE WILL
BE HANDSOME,
Americus Given a Beautiful
Building.
IS COMPLETE IN APPOINTMENT
Americus Y, M. C. A. Will Start Soon
the Erection of Handsome Building
as Homework of Collecting Mon
ey viii BE Pushed.

Passers. by on Jackson street yester-
day were much interested in hand
some picture displayed in window of
the Eldridge drugstore, and this intel :
est was increased to a great degree
when they learned that this was the
proposed Y. M, @. A. building for
Americas.
The picture remains in the window,
and hundreds will admire it there
again today.
And 1t will be an incentive for the
public spirited people of Americus to
determine more fully than eyer to Sc
cure for their city this very beautiful
and much needed building.
The plans represented in the draw
ing have been accepted by the local Y.
M. G. A. and for the cost incurred no
city in the state will have a handsomer
one devoted to this grand purpose. It
is substantial brick structure and
complete in all details.
The Americus Y. NJ G. A. has al
readp purchased and paid for beauti-
full building lot at the corner of Church
and Jackson streets, and with the pay
ment of subscriptions these young
workers will soon lay the foundation
for this really magnificent structure.
And everybody will deem it privi-
lege to give to such cause
The building will cost, completed,
something like $1,000 Of this amount
the Y. M. G. A. has small cash bal
ance, after paying for the lot, and will
soon begin the collection of sabscrip.
tlons.
On the first floor will be an assembly
hall fer religious purposes; parlor, Ii
brary, reading rooms, gymnasium,
bath rooms, swi0ming pool, etc. The
second floor will consist of twelve
large and airy rooms, which may be
used for offices or sleeping quarters.
The local Y NJ. O. A. feels greatly
encouraged at the liberal spirit and co
operation of citizens, and hope soon to
complete their home.

SENATORIAL RACE
Is INTERESTING.
Sumter Is Going to Supply
Candidate.
TWO RIcHMoNDs NOW AFIELD
Messrs. Wheatley and Lane to Con-
test For The Honors in Thirteenth
District. Other Aspirants For Po-
liticaI Honor in Sumter.

Interest throughout the state is now
centered in the action of the state ex-
ecutive committee, IN session in At.
lanta tomorrow, in fixing the date of
the state primary for governor, con-
g.essmen, members of the Legislature,
state house officers, judges, solicitors
and others.
When this date is finally determined,
the executive committees of the several
counties will act,
Capt. John A. Cobb is one of the
three committeeman from this con-
gressionaI district, and will go to At
lanta tomorrow. The other two mem
bers are from Twiggs and Dooly, re.
spectively.
The executive committee of Sumter
will meet shortly now and, governed
by the action of the state committee
will name the date for the county pri-
mary at which the county officers of
Sumter will be nominated.
The chief features in the state pri-
mary, those of greatest local interest,
will be the nomination of members of
the legislature and solicitor.
While the legislative aspirants are
probably numerous, they have not yet
come into the open.
Solicitor General f. A Hooper, as is
we'll known, is opposed this time by
Col. James r. Williams. Both gentle
men are lawyers of highest ability and
their great popularity throughout the
several counties of this circuit renders
the contest one of greatest interest.
But none the less interesting is the
senatorial contest here.
It is Sumter's time to name the sena-
tor for this district, the Thirteenth,
and composed of the three counties OF
SchIey, Macon and Sumter, and her
decision as to candidates is of much
interest,
AS is we'll known, Messrs. W. t.
Lane and Crawford Wheatley are as
pirants for the senatorial toga, and as
yet it is subject of great doubt and
speculation as to which of these gentle
men will wear it. Both are popular and
are said to be equally confident,
Mr.. Lane has represented Sumter
for two terms IN the lower house, Mr.
Wheatley has never been an aspiraut
for policaI honors heretofore.
Both these gentlemen are able and
capable, and their popularity through
out the county assures to each one a
hearty support at the polls. The
friends Of each aspirant are hard at
work to win the race and, SO far, it
seems to belong to either of them.
All the candidates were active yes
terday and, politically, 1T was a field
day in Americus.

Chauvfnfsm.

Chauvinism is a term that has come
to mean an extravagant and absurd
patriotism and pride in ones own
country, with corresponding enmity
toward and contempt for foreign ma
lions. It is the French equivalent for
the jingoism Of the London music halls
after Lord Beaconsfield's return from
the congress Of Berlin in 1878. The
origin of the word is due to Chauvin,
the name Of figure in the comedy LA
Cocarde Theodore" QS3D by the broth
ers Theodore apd Hippolyte Cognard,
the action in which includes the con-
quest of Algeria. Chauvin is a young
recruit who speaks much, displays
great courage and sings several coup
let's with the refrain, "j'suis Francois,
j'suis Chauvin, j'tape sur lie Bedouin."
The authors Of the comedy, however,
borrowed the name from that Of Mich
olas Chauvin, an old soldier Of Napo-
leon, well known in his time in Paris
for his devoted enthusiasm for the
emperor. Calvin is q Latinized form
Of the same family name.
