The "circus crowd" will come back
today, for every Saturday is circus day
in Americas from the standpoint of Wis
itors coming here.
1t would be ''23" indeed for the dom
inies if they had to depend for liveli-
hood upon the marriage fees paid in
Americas this fall.
Indian summer has come back since
the frosts of recentdate. and just now
Americas is enjoying the very finest
weather of the year.
Let us have an energetic and con-
tinuous assault on the idlers, that they
may either be1un out of town or put to
work on the rock pile.
All speed to the electric car line from
Americas to Macon and on to Atlanta.
Americas is especially interested in the
success of the enterprise.
The society of several of the smaller
towns near Americas were handsomely
represented in the large audience at
the opera house last night.
The farmer who refused IL cents for
his cotton Tuesday and sells it for a
dime today is probably sorry. But we
cannot foresee these things.
Think of being whirled to Macon in
an hour and half; no delayed trains,
no dust, no cinders. Hasten the build
ing of the electric railway.
The committee of ladies are still hunt
ing homes for the hundred or more del
egates who will attend the L. d. c..
convention here next week.
The Little Joker company came in
at noon Yesterday from Columbus, Oc-
cupying one of the Central's handsom-
est sleepers as private car.
Two more big circuses, Coles and
Pawnee Bills, are circulating in towns
about Americas. We can easily get up
crowd for both right here.
The owner of a residence here had
three offers yesterday from parties
hunting homes within an hour after he
had expressed desire to sell.
Mr.. w. II. r. Schroeder has re-
moved from Brooklyn Heights to the
former oliver place, at the corner OF
Jackson and Jefferson streets.
Great Improvements are being made
upon the interior of the Hotel Windsor,
where painters and decorators are
working a transformation scene.
From investors in others towns
come inquiries regarding Americas
real estate on the market. A very
good sign if our prosperity; indeed.
Only think of the flight of time.
Within fifty-six days now Christmas
will have come and gone, with
another new years resolutionbefore us.

GREAT DIPPER PAID BUT LITTLE
No Fortune is Received for Looping
The Gap.

Many Americas people who saw the
lady in the circus do the auto act,
when she auto have known better than
dash down the pike and leap the gap,
have tspeculated upon the princely
salary paid for such a daring deed.
And speculation puts her price all the
way from $500 day to $4,000 a week.
In fact, the thriller is not near so
dangerous as it appears; not half as
risky as getting married, and it is said
the salary is just $40 week or 1886 for
each performance. Would you want
the job at that?

FOUGHT a DUEL WITH PRISONER
officer Near Dawson Has a Deadly
Encounter,

In pistol duel at close range Bailiff
j. c. McEachern of Terrell county yes
terday shot and killed Raiford Hawk,
a negro, and was himself dangerously
wounded. McEachern had arrested
the negro and caught hold of him to
pull him into his buggy, when Hawk
drew his pistol and fired. The officer
returned the fire, three bullets hitting
Hawk, each one in a fatal spot.
The bailitt was hit only once, the ball
entering the neck. 1t has not yet been
located, Bailiff McEachern had hold of
the prisoner when the duel began and
did not relax his grip until the weight
of the latter's dead body caused him to
do so.

SAYS FIELDS ARE STILL WHITE
Plenty Open Cotton and Laborers
Scarce,

Not nearly all the cotton grown land
growing,) about Americas has been
picked, as in many localities the fields
still resemble a snowfall with thaw in
progress. One of the largest farmers in
the county, here yesterday, said that he
still had lots of open cotton, but labor
to pick it was difficult to secure. And
this seems the case quite generally. The
abnormally early frosts did not kill
the cotton plant, and it is still making
The crop in this immediate section is
turning out much better than expected

BALANCING IN THE AIR.

Captain Ferber. a French army officer, who
has closely watched recent progress in aerial
navigation believes with Santos DumOnt that
in few years airshps will be as common as
automobiles. He fears that they may be en-
plOyed for such criminal pursuits as Snug
Cling and the destruction of cities. but is hope
full that an adequate aerial patrol would keep
these evils within bounds Well II would
cause no surprise if the airship should not
prove an unmiXed blessing to humanity, but
II Is possible that Captain Ferber overestimates
the harm which may result from its use. Per-
haps the worst danger is that any Increase
in its popularity must lead TO fatal accidents,
but even that prospect has It's mitigating feat
ures. The victims might be so lacking in COM
mon sense and the other qualities which would
ut them for valuable service to society that the
world could easily spare them.
1t Is conceded by the Frenchman that some
difficulties are yet TO be overcome before the
flying machine can be heartily commended. He
has in mind, not the gasbag but the aeroplane.
and remarks that the art Of maintaining edui-
librium while alOft must be mastered before
the vehicle can be regarded as safe. The risk
OF capsizlng must depend somewhat on the
model of the vehicle. If It's centre of gravity
were low, compared with the supporting sur
faces, 1t would not readily tilt to one side or
the other Even so. precautions must be taken
TO prevent pitching and rearing. For this pur-
pose a we'll designed airshp should have
weights, which could be shifted along q line
parallel with the keel, or with rudder which
would promote horizontal steadiness or both.
To acquire proficiency in the use of these de-
vices-such skill, in fact, as would be virtually
automatic-wOuld certainly be no child's play.
New-York tribune., 1906-12-24
LABOR on THE rSTHMUS.

The report Of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion reaffirms what we have hitherto said more
than once in these columns concerning the labor
problem at Panama. especially on two points,
namely. the unsatisfactory quality of the West
Indian Negro wOrkmen and the highly desira-
hle character of those from Spain. The former
Il must be confessed. are a disappointment. 1t
supposed few years ago that the West
India Negroes. who TO the eye seem such fine
specimens of physical humanity and capable
of repeating the labors of Hercules. would be
the ideal laborers for the canal. But trial
proved that they were not They are deficient
in physical capacity and in mental ambition
and constancy. 1t takes about three of them
to do what one man ought to do. and they
have the wretched habit of working just long
enough TO earn few dollars above their cur
rent expenditures. and then relapsing into idle
ness until those dollars are spent. 1t would
not be easy to imagine a more unsatisfactory
working force than that which they compose.
On the other hand, the Spaniards are highly
competent their efficiency being from twice to
three times that of the Negroes. They are con-
stant and trustworthy, with an ambition to
stick TO the Job until it is completed. They
seem 10 suffer from the heat-whiCh is not ex-
cessve. but simply incessant-and from the
humidity-which is excessive for eight months
Of the twelve-much less than do the Negroes.
Also. because either or their greater stamina
or their superior regard for sanitation, they
retain their health incOmparably better. That
among nine hundred Of them, who have been
constantly at work. there has not this year been
a single death a single case Of yellow fever
is most gratifying report, which prOvokes a
strong wish that we might have ten or twenty
times as many of them at work on the canal.
Nor will ii escape consideration that, while
a permanent addition to the Negro element of
the sthmian population would be undesirable, a
large influx OF thrifty, efficient progressive
Spaniards would be of great advantage to the
Republic of Panama and TO the canal zone.
Scores OF thousands more are needed, not mere
IL TO dig the canal, but. after that is done, to
be permanent settlers TO cultivate the vast
expanses of fertile soil which are now neg
lected and TO make Of Panama what nature
designed II TO be-One of the most productive
and opuent countries of its size in the world.
At present thousands Of Spaniards are yearly
migrating to South America, and it is now pro-
posed TO make efforts to bring some of them
TO our own Southern States That is well.
But 1t would also be uncommOnly we'll for
Panama and for the United States, with its
great and perpetual interests there, II some
thousands of them could be induced to settle
in the very land where Spanish feet first trod
the soil of the American continent and where
some of the most stirring chapters of Spanish
history were written.
