Blessed is the wise Americas citizen
who has laid in good supply of coal,
for he will soon need it, or we miss our
guess.
There was jam of shoppers on the
streets yesterday afternoon and night,
some of the stores being crowded with
tardy buyers.
Many of the principal stores remain
open at night now, affording an oppor
tunitv to busy people to do their shop
ping leisurely.
This is the season when the store
and postof1ice and express employees
earn their salaries, and more. Be pa
tent with them.
One of the considerations that help to
make Christmas day merry, is the fact
that it marks the end Of the holiday
shopping season.
Mr.. Fred Bracket, who is inspecting
the site for the Federal building, will
complete his work here today and leave
at noon for Atlanta.
Trains on both the Central and the
Seaboard come crowded now. People
are going home for Christmas and the
roads are rushed.
One week from this morning and all
will be over. But just now everybody
is enjoying the excitement, with little
thought of the bills.
Americas total cotton receipts
wagon bales-are now close to the 80,
900 bale mark, And the jig is about
UP here, for a fact.
People who mortgage their farms
now to buy eggs are glad that the
occasion is Christmas instead Of the
usual Easter eggfest.
Mr.. S. A. Pruitt has been in Florida
for several days looking after a huge
shipment of oranges ordered shipped
to the Americas trade.
Cooper Lodge, Knights of Pythias,
will hold its annual meeting Thursday
night, at which officers for the next
year will be elected.
The newly elected members of the
city council, mayor and aldermen, will
be formally installed in office at spe-
cial meeting held tonight.
The express company, like the post
office, has a very hard time during the
holidays and employees are kept at
work day and night.
The scarcity of S. bill is noticeable
to some extent in Americas as else
where. The scarcity of dimes, dollars
and nickels is also apparent here.

SPLENDID ORDER in AMERlcus
Drunkenness an Unknown Quantity
Here Now.

That Americas is the most orderly
town in Georgia is a fact impressed up
on everyone here daily. The city has
an excellent police force of eight men,
who are vigilant to the fullest extent
yet an arrest even at this busy holiday
season is something almost unknown.
Such thing as a drunken man upon
the street is rarely seen, and it has been
many days since such an arrest for this
cause has been made. People just don't
get drunk here, it seems; at least there
is no evidence of the fact. In no other
Georgia city of $4,000 population is
such splendid order maintained.

MORE AUTHORITY IS REQUIRED
Commissioners Wants an Extension
Of Power.

The state railroad commission in its
annual report, issued yesterday, asks
an extension of its authority over ex-
press and telegraph companies. The
several amendments to the act creating
the commission have increased the
authority of this board over railroad
companies, but in no case has this adj
ditional power been made to apply to
express and telegraph companies, and
the commission recommends that bill
be passed subjecting express and tel
egraph companies to regulation by the
tent as the law applies to railroad COM
panies.

SOLDIERS READY FOR RIOTERS
Mob Spirit in Atlanta Will Be Bullet

Orders have been issued to each mill
sergeant and squad for riot duty to be
ready at any time the necessity for

possible outbreak which may occur in
Atlanta during the holidays.

AFTER COAL ROADS
Resolution Introduced In House Calling for Investigation
by Commerce Commission, Which Calls out a
Roast for Latter Body

Washington, Feb. 7.-Mr. Gillespie
(Tex.), author of the resolution re-
garding the alleged Pennsylvania rail-
road combination, answered Monday
by the president, declared on the floor
Of the house during the day that the
answer was an insult: that with the
great machinery at hand a complete
Investigation OF actual conditions
should have been made. He said such
an investigation would show that the
railroads carrying bituminous coal to
the Atlantic ports are the Pennsyl-
vania, New York Central, Baltimore
and Olso, Chesapeake and Ohio, Nor
folk and Western and the Reading.
He recited the facts developed con-
corning the relations of four of those
roads which were named in his first
resolution in regard to their having
the same stockholders and directors.
Re asserted that an investigation
would show that there had been an
allotment to each coal carrying road
of a certain territory to prevent COM
petition in markets by means of rate
adjustments, agreements and COM
binations. Also that the Pennsylvania
and New York Central, by means of
their stock ownership arrangements,
have prevented coal from the territory
of the Norfolk and Western and Ches>
apeake and Ohio being offered any
where above the Virginia capes; also
that the Pennsylvania company has
the power to curtaii shipments from
territory served by the Baltimore and
Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio and
Norfolk and Western; also that the
Baltimore and Ohio declines to allot

Allow Independent Companies
to open up new mines and become
shippers on the line Of the Baltimore
and Ohio; also that an investigation
would show that the Pennsylvania
railroad and its officers were interest
ed in the coal companies shipping
over its lines.
Mr.. Gillespie then introduced reso-
luton requesting the president to di-
rect the interstate commerce commits
sion to make an immediate investiga-
ton of the following queries:
First-Whether the roads carrying
coal have any ownership or interest
in the mines.
Second-Whether the officers Of
these roads are interested personally
in the mines.
Third-Whether there is any con-
tract between the mines and the roads
amounting to restraint of trade or
creating monopoly in bituminous
coal.
Fourth-If such above facts are
found to exist then the commission is
required to report the details of the
relationship and set forth the agree
ments On terms of monopoly or owner
ship interests.
Fifth-The commission is to report
as to the system of coal car distribu-
ton.
Sixth-It is to suggest remedy
Seventh-To report facts and con-
illusions it may deem pertinent.
Eighth-To make the investigation
at its earliest opportunity.
