cation. Mr.. Dodson will return to
Americus within three or four days
and on August 9Th the bond for $685.
600 will be duly filed with the city
council. This will effectually dispose
of all formalities, and the early be-
ginning of building operations will
then follow. AS the Times Recorder
has stated already the new power
plant will be erected near the city
reservoir, and probably upon the line
of the Central Railway. Work upon
the brick buildings will be started
Immediately, and soon thereafter the
survey of route for the electric street
railway will be made and the work
of construction begun.

Awaiting Proper Moment.

The unqualified statement is made
that the governor, attorney general,
or any member of the commission
would gladly go to Jail for contempt
of court, were any actual good to be
accomplished by such self-sacrifice.
They do not feel, however, that the
exigencies of the situation demand
such a course. Nor do they see the
immediate necessity for using their
power, although they are storing up
their ammunition awaiting what they
regard as the proper time for ac-
ton.
Under the Virginia law the mandate
cannot become effective until it has
been published for a month, so the
railroads when they sought asylum
in the Federal courts first got a res
training order forbidding the publica-
ton of the decree. This restraining
order, which was designed only to
serve the purpose of a few days, was
followed by the interlocutory iniunc-
ton now in effect.
In North Carolina conditions are
altogether different. There the legis-
lature, without any examination what
soever as to the equity of its course
on the finances of the roads affected
decreed the reduced rates, which
were to have become effective July

The last formality demanded in the
launching of the street railway and
power company, which will establish
this great enterprise here, was taken
yesterday morning by the city coun-

the form of surety bond in the sum
of $4,000 required of the company
by the city council for the faithful
compliance with all terms of the con-
tract entered into with the city. Col

so SAYS BANKER JAMES SPEYER

CARLSBAD, GERMANY, July 30.-
Fears for Americas present unbound
ed prosperity do not possess the mind
of James Speyer, the promient New
York banker, who is spending July
| here. He declares it to be on a
| basis so sound that neither the COM
ing of the Presidential election nor
the international money stringency
nor the attacks of corporation evils
can dislodge it. There may be a
slight shrinkage, but in his opinion
it is bound to be read5usted
Many persons look for a business
contraction in the United States, but
if the growing crops in America turn
out fairly, or if America realizes high
prices for her surplus crops, espec-
tally cotton, there is no reason to
expect serious setback.
"Of course, in considering a possi-
BILE business contraction one must
not forget that we are nearing a
Presidential election, which generally
has restricting influence.
However, l believe, with many
thoughtful observers, that the Presi-
dental campaign has already actual
ly begun, as shown by the many at
tacks on corporations and capital
which are largely due to political
maneuvering, and that, the fight hav-
ing begun so early, it may be prac-
tically decided before the usual time.
Political Attacks to End Watering.
Many attacks on railroads are no
doubt due to politicians who think
they can carry public favor in that
way, but l believe that unfair war on
corporate interests will not succeed.
The politicians will find that the
American public cannot be misled.
"Of course, the Investigations and
exposures that have taken place
have had some unfavorable effects
on the business situation, but l be-
lieve that ultimately all this agita-
tion will result in legislation prob
ably Federal, which will prevent
many abuses and make railroad in
vestments in the United States safer
than ever.
Il think stock watering will be
more difficult in future and what
ever has been done in the past we
must not forget that the immense in
crease in population and wealth of
the United States together with the
conservative policy that has been
followed by many corporations dur
ing the last 10 years when hun
dreds of millions of dollars out of
net earnings have been put back in
to the properties has largely com
pensated for any original stock
watering.
But the land has risen out of the
water and is still rising. The
United States, like all other self
people of present times, has
to solve difficult problems which
have risen through changing condi-
tions and the modern socialistic
trend of opinion generally

SOCIAL SESSION is A SUCCESS
Washington Camp viii Probably Sc.

The social session of Washington
Camp, Patriotic Order Sons of Am
erica, at it's hall on Monday night,
proved an exceedingly interesting af-
fair. The talks were entertaining
throughout, explaining the work of
the order and its high mission as a

served at the close, which was highly
enjoyed by those present. 1t is the
impression that the Camp will re-

LONGER Time

as to time.
Is Received With Cheers.
While there was but little demon
stration upon the floor of the House,
the announcement of the result spread
quickly to the corridors where hun
dreds anxiously awaited. There it
was greeted with cheers, and the en-
thusiasm spread rapidly
In the streets it was taken up by
the forces of the prohis who made the
welkin ring with loud huzzahs. In
the hotels and other places of resort
the news spread and was variously
discussed over the city.
How Stood the Voters.
The passage of the bill was by
strictly party vote" of 139 to 80,
the ranks of the minority thus stand
ing firm to the finish The only con-
cession they thus gained was a
slight modification of the drastic
measure regarding the sale of alcohol
by druggists.
The bill, as passed tonight, was
just as drastic at its most enthusias-
tic advocates could desire.
1t Goes to Senate.
The fact that the bill was amend
ed slightly respecting the sale of al
cohol by licensed druggists renders
it necessary that it be sent to the Sen
ate again for ratification ere it goes
finally to Governor Smith to receive
his official signature.
The transmission of the bill back
to the Senate, however, is a mere
formality only Just when it goes
to Gov Smith is not known at this
hour, but it will not be long delayed.
Georgia a Desert Now.
The passage of the bill by both
houses and it's signature by the Gov
ernor makes of Georgia one of the
very few dry states in the Union.
While the bill is not of force until
January 1st, next, its effect will be
felt Immediately in business circles
generally.
Just what this effect will be re-
mains to be seen as there is wide
diversity of opinion thereupon.

ATLANTA, July 30.-The House at
$50 o'clock tonight passed by
strictly prohibition vote the Hardman
bill as it came from the Senate. All
amendments were overwhelmingly de-
feated, and the bill will become eff
| fective on January 1st, next.
Long Fight in House.
ATLANTA, July 3O.-While realiz-
ing the odds against them in the final
vote upon the Hardman prohibition
bill in the House today, the minority
prolonged the battle by proposing
amendments to the bill, and not un-
til far in the uight was a vote final
ly reached.
Eighteen amendments were propos-
ed and the reading and discussion of
these consumed time.
AS was to have been expected, the
House was at a tension as the vote
upon the several amendments offer
ed slowly progressed. The main fight
was upon the Barrow amendment re-
questing an extension of the operation
of the bill to January /, 1909
The debate upon the amendments
offered was quiet and orderly.
No Quarter is Granted.
1t was easily seen, even in the
beginning, that the victorious prohis
were in no humor to grant conces-
sions of any nature to the minority.
The fight for an extension of a
year was quickly ended and the ants
stood unhorsed and defeated Upon
final vote, taken about $3.50 tonight,
the Hardman bill was passed by the
House practically as it was trans
mitted by the Senate.
Georgia is in the dry column after /,
a strenuous fight
In Effect in January.
The passage of the bill carries
the provision that it becomes effec-
tive five months hence, or on Janu
ary 1st, 1908. 1t was hoped by the
minority to secure an extension to
July 1st next, at least, but the bill
was passed without any change made
