ELLIS IN sHAckLEs
Carried to Penitentiary for Life SEN
tence,

Bill Ellis, or Ellis Shepard as he is
also XII own, was taken from the Amer
lcus jan yesterday and sent to the
sta renitentiary camp near Way
cross, where he will serve o life SEN
tence for murder of Joe Phillips,
And it will be the final scene in the
career of Bill E lis.
There was not an extenuating cir
cumstance in the cold blooded muir
der, committed on the Sabbath aud at
church, and there will hardly be an
effort made to secure his pardon.
Ellis killed Joe Phillips in Webster
county, and while he owns that he was
paid and threatened by others to do
the deed, the crime remains just the
same. And Ellis will pass his remain
ing days in the penitentiary.
Only two Webster county prisoners
now remain in the Americus Jail -Har-
rell and Thornton.
Mr.. Harrell was convicted at Web,
ster court last week of the charge of
burning the town of Preston, and
sentenced to twenty years.
An appeal for q new trial in his case
has been made already, and Judge
Littlejohn will pass upon it shortly,
Failing in this, the case will be carried
to the supreme court for final hearing
before that body.

The formal announcement this morn

cation to the many wRrm, personal
friends of Mayor E A. Hawkins and
citizens of Americus generally, who are
only awaiting this signal to extend

course will lie fully endorsed by the
voters in the primary on November

ated and the past two years, embracing
his term of office, have been years of
progress and prosperity for Amerlcue.
In all, the administration of Mayor
Hawkins is one of which he may well
be proud, and this pride is shared by
the people at large whose votes will
again place him in the executive chair.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they can 'treach
the diseased portions of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inaamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachiap
Tube. When this tube is inflamed yon
have rLmbIing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored t. its noI NAL condition,
hearing will be restored forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf smed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

Phone 49, AMERICAS ILLUMINATING & POWER co
soLoNs ARGUE TAX QUESTION
M Getting Council Last Night important
One

Iuasmuch as it was expected that the
tax rate for the current year would be
levied by council last night, much in
terest prevailed among the members of
that body and the meeting was very
near full one.
Mayor Hawkins presided and called
the meeting to order at 5 O'Clock.
Aldermen Pinkston, Bolton, Sher-
lock, Borum and Poole were in their
places, Alderman Pinkston leaving
sick bed to attend.
The consideration of the tax rate for
the current year was first in order, and
for fully an hour the solons wrestled
with the financial problem in an effort
to fix an equitable rate.
And as the result of their labors, the
tax rate for this year is assessed at
81 80 upon each 800 of values, or $13
per S 900. This is a very material
reduction as the rate for last year, and
for several years in fact, was SIS.
It is the lowest rate assessed in q
long time, and the taxpayers will have
no cause to complain.
The rate thus levied is to be appor-
toned as follows:
One-half of one percent for paying
interest and principal on bonds as fixed
by ordinance when said bonds were is
sued; 45-100 for maintenance of the
public schools for 1904 and 1905, and
35-100 for usual municipal expenses.
This makes the rate as levied 100
for all purposes.
AS one-haIf OF one percent is appor-
toned for the bond fund and is q fixed
charge, the rate levied for schools an
maintaining the city government is
only 80-100-a very low rate indeed
The reduction thus made from the
rate of recent years is 20-1O0. Recently
the county rate was reduced 25-1OO,
making the total tax reduction for the
current year 45-100, or nearly one-half
of one per cent on city property.
The action OF council in thus Ievying
the tax rate for 1904 will meet with
very general approval.
