SHOULD MARRY SUCH COUPLES
Ministers Hold That Matrimony Is
Protection.

While Americus is thrown in futter
by an occasional runaway marriage,
Columbus hold the palm for frolics of
this character And just now a lively
discussion goes on there as to the pro-
priety of the ordinary issuing license
and ministers tieing the knot for such
couples. The ministers defend their
position and point out that often it is
wise for the ordinary to strain Point
and issue license even if the girl is
only 16 years of age, as failure to Sc
cure license would place the couple IN
a most embarrassing position, especi
ally when they have come long dis
tance to be married, and have no
friends or relatives. Ministers take the
same position in marrying such cou-
Piles, thinking that while they may be
very young to take marital VOWS yet
such step is the best thing for the
future of the young girl, after she has
gone to the extent of clipping and trav
cling with her prospective husband.

WORKING FOR A CITY HOSPITAL
Ladies' Assisting Physicians in Move

ment.
Many good people in Americas have
gone to work with vim to the end of
raising an amount sufficient to insure
the equipping of hospital here, an
institution long and sorely needed, as
physicians and charitable societies
here will oheerfully bear testimony.
Americas and Sumter county can
and will have this hospital.
Plans to that end have been formula
ted, and assurance given that such an
institution will not only prove boon
to suffering humanity, but very soon
would be seH-supporting.
Many of the physicians of the city
and county are enthusiastic advocates
of the hospital, as are the ladies of the
charitable societies here.
A meeting was held yesterday after.
noon, attended by number of ladies
and physicians, oil interested in this
great work. The hospital movement
was discussed at length, and plans de-
vised for raising the funds required.
The greatest interest was manifested
among al in attendance
A larger and fuller meeting will be
held next Friday afternoon IN the yes
try room of First Baptist church, and
every lady in Americus is urged TO at
tend and by her presence, at least, give
encouragement to this great movement
for Americas.
Other Georgia cities, smaller than
Americas, have established and ere
maintaining hospitals which, after year
or two, are self-supporting from the
income received from patients, to say
nothing Of the great work of charity
and humanity accom- plished this way.
Let the meeting Friday be largely
attended and the proposed institution
pushed 10 success.

Mr.. Knox says he will accept the APP

at once resign as Attorney General.
Nevertheless, the Constitution, Arti-
Gle l., Section g., Paragraph 2, says
that mo person holding any Office I'M
der the United States shall be mem
Der of either house during his contin-
uance in office. Therefore, if Mr..
Knox continues to hold the office Of
Attorney General the senatorship from
Pennsylvania is vacant. There seems
no escape from these conclusions. If
the senatorship from Pennsylvania is
vacant, the Constitution of Pennsylva.
