ROME TO OWN LIGHTING PLANT
Bond Election Will Be Held There on
April 18th.

April 18th.
Rome, Ga. March 21.-An election
has been ordered by the Rome coun-
Gil for April 1G to decide whether or
not the city of Rome shall issue SITS, :
600 Of bonds for the purpose of erect
ing an elctric lighting plant and paw
Ing cur principal streets.
There is a strenuous contest going
on here now in regard to this bond
issue. The side favorable to bonds
is being led by Mayor John w Mad
dox and Hon Seaborn Wright, and
the Rome Railway and Lighting COM
pany, which is at present furnishing
electricity for the city and private d
dividuals, is contesting the matter.
Judge Maddox and Hon SeaboaTn
Wright addressed large audiences at
the court house last Friday night and
again Wednesday night in favor of the
bond issue.
In case the bond issue fails the
council will probably levy a special tax
and build a lighting plant any way
The fight on this matter is cor
stantly growing fiercer, and its final
issue is still uncertain

MAY GET A PART OF THE CASH

The hundred or more Americus
veteran" of the Cuban war" of
few years ago are interested in the
payment to be made to certain of the
troops for service rendered, and it is
quite certain that several thousand
dollars extra money will be distributed
among Amer1cus survivors.
This back pay, about 100000, is due
eminent, which is ready to settle at
once.
The whole matter has been placed in
the hands of Judge C. G. James of
Cedartown, and all communications
regarding these claims should be ad-
dressed directly to him.
Judge James, IN connection with At
torneys Calhoun and Sizer of Wash
ington had entire charge lof collecting
this money from the government, and
Judge James will have charge of the
disbursement of it.
Mr.. Calhoun will be in Atlanta today
and it is expected he will bring with
him the check for the balance of the
money making total of 500, 400 paid
by the government.
AS soon as this is received, the work
of disbursement will begin, and the
money will be paid to those holding
claims as rapidly as it is possibly to do
so. It is expected now that the pay
ment will begin early next week.

by the ministers two, who ''viewed
with alarm" this theatrical charm so
fraught with danger and possible harm
and no balm.
Boiled down to two lines, The Clans
man sidesteps Americus.
Not that The Clansman desired to
give us the skip, but because the city
council so orders. And whatever the
solons here decree just bet your boots
its going to be.
Ihls surprise was sprung last night
when ReY r l.. Bivins, and Rev. j. p.
Wardlaw, representing other ministers
as we'll as themselves, presented to the
city council a protest against the pre-
sentation of The Clansman here on 3Oth
inst. and urging reasons therefor.
These in brief, were that recent
tragic occurrences in Americus would
render the production Of such a plav
here at this time a source of more or
less danger from a racial standpoint.
These views We're heartily endorsed by
the colored ministers of the city, and
other cOlOred citizens.
In compliance with this request
council ordered that the presentation of
the play here be prohibited.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

Prior to the legislative enact
ment of 1901, placing the public
printing in the hands of the Coun-
Gil of State, Attorney General and
Commissioners of Labor.a and PRINT
ing, the consideration of this i'm
portant item was q constant an-
noyance to members of the Gener-
al Assembly at every session of
that body, and occupied much
valuable time which might have
been devoted to other momenteous
questions. Under the present ar
rangement the officials named
contract for the Department of
Labor and Printing superintends
all printing and binding executed,
upon the best possible terms for
the State. Said Department pur-
chases every item of book and job
stock used and makes records of
all transactions connected with
the printing, upon requisition
from each department. of the state
government indicating needed sup
plies.
Records in the Office of the Bu-
res of Labor and Printing and
also in the Auditor Department
reveal the fact that hundreds of
dollars II saved annually to the
State by the close observance of
the law governing this matter and
a strict adherance to instructions
on the part of those. upon whom
these duties devolve. From the
information before us we can safe
ly say that the act of 1901, regu-
lating the public printing, has
proven to be a wise and judicious
measure meeting fully the object
for which it was intended. Not
only is the General Assembly re-
lieved from endless. trouble aud
annoyance, with which it had to
contend at every session formerly,
the state realizes, besides, quite
enough lnthe purchase of stock and
reduced cost of production, under
the present system, to meet the
required amount annually appro-
priated for the maintaince of the
Department having control of
this work, in addition to the du-
ties outlined in the act creating it
some twenty years years age.

AN %lNOVATION.

Maybe We all will enjoy better
health now that the Pure Food
Law has gone into effect. The
bill passed Congress last year but
did NOT become effective until the
first Of January, 1907. It is to be
administered by the Agriculture
Department at Washington and
there il little doubt about it &C.
complishing much good for the
general public if it's provisions are
properly enforced. The country
has needed just such a law for q
long, long time, and all hope this
new Innovation may not be dissap-
pointing.
The law provides for a staff of
food inspectors, who will be re-
CURED to pass rigid examinations
and receive their appointments
under the rules of civil service. In
New York city, alone, Silt, 800, coo
is said to be expended annually
for adulterated foods and hun.
dreds of lives are thus endangered
by the use of imitation 'sstufs.'
In the administration of the law
the Department of Agriculture
will be assisted by the Depart.
ment of Justice and the Treasury
Department. Let US hope no laz
methods may be employed in en-.
forcing this law to the fullest ex.
tent. Give it q try.
