CITIZENS ARE ANXIOUS
TO HAVE MEETING
Is Called for Wednesday
Night.

The desire for a general meeting
of citizens, to the end of discussing
municipal matters and suggesting
suitable candidates for the aldermanic
primary, grows stronger still as the
date of election draws nearer, and
there is now no doubt of the sue
cess of the movement Yesterday af-
ternoon a general call was circulated
for signatures and numerOusly sign
ed by merchants, mechanics, working
men and those all trades and pro-
fessions, calling the meeting for We'd
nesday night at the city hall. The
circulation of the list will be con-
tinued as it is desired to secure the
signatures Of several hundred yot
ers, thus expressing sentiment upon
the subject. The movement is not
intended to forestall any candidate
or candidates but rather, after full
and free discussion in which the
whole body of white citizens of Am
ericus will take part, to suggest men
for the Office who will give it their
time and attention and fill the posi-
tions to the best interests of the
city at large.

START ON THE PLANT
Men Interested in Enter
prise Here.

Mr.. Edward V. Kane, of the we'll
known house of e. V. Kane & Co.
bankers and brokers, and Mr.. A. N.
Walker, president of the Southern
Public Service Co., both of Philadel-
phia, and alike interested in the elec-
trio enterprise here, are in the city.
Mr.. Kane arrived yesterday morn
ing, while the arrival of Mr.. Walker
is expected this morning
These gentlemen, as is well known
are largely interested in the company
which proposes establishing new
power plant here and building the
electric railway line.
Their coming to Americus has beer
somewhat delayed, owing to business
engagements elsewhere, but now thai
both are here and ready for business
it is expected that the enterprise viii
be formally launched and actua
work started.
Mr.. Walker comes here direct from
South Carolina where his company
has similar interests.
Financial arrangements for the es
tablishment of the electric plant il
Americus have long since been com
pleted, it is understood, and there
need be no delay upon this score. Th'
company therefore, will proceed tt
business at once.
The Times Recorder hopes to tel
the people of Americus an interesting
story tomorrow regarding the be
ginning of actual work here.

Z The handsome new building of the
First Methodist church will be dedi-
Gated next Sunday morning, the dedi-
catory sermon being preached by
Bishop, James Atkins, of Nashville,
Tenn. I Bishop Atkins is one of the
most distinguished preachers and
editors in the Methodist Church,
South, and his coming will be looked

est church edifices in South Georgia.
1t is of white pressed brick and is
finished simply but elegantly. 1t is

membership, but to the whole city
as we'll.
A very large share of the credit
for carrying to completion the plans
for the present edifice is due to the

Will BE DEDICATED SUNDAY
Handsome First Methodist Church COnSeCrated by
Bishop Atkins, of Nashville, Tenn.

pastor Rev. J. p. Wardlaw, who has
been pastor of the First Church for
the past four years. The church will
stand as monument to his efficient
pastorate when he goes to other fields
of labors, as he will do after the next
meeting of the South Georgia Con-
ference, which will be held at
Brunswick, Nov. 81.
In pushing to a satisfactory com
pletion such a large undertaking the
membership OF the First Church has
won unstinted admiration and Sun
day will be their final hour of triumph
when the church is dedicated free
from debt. The small sum yet unpaid
will be raised during the week by
Dr. Wardlaw, and Sunday morning
will see the edifice entirely free from
debt
All members of the church are ur-
ged to be present at the prayer
meeting tomorrow night. which will
be the last before Conference, and
will therefore be the last which
Dr. Wardlaw will attend as pas
tor.
