get rid of the rubbish that
adorned alleys and streets and
more to attract attention to the
clean city movement the club
offered Trenton boys twenty five
cents IL hundred for all old tin
cans delivered to a committee on
this day.
The cans were received at the
most prominent point in the
towns business section and for
hours the streets were iammed
with boys, cans and spectators.
One hundred and thirty boys
brought in more than $4,000
cans and received nearly 5000 in
payment.
The club expects the tin can
day to be the pioneer event of q
general movement in smaller
cities. Clubs in several other
towns have already shown a dis
position to try the scheme which
was an unqualified success.

NEW RATING FOR AMERICUS.
Is Possible Under Conditions Prescribed by Tariff
Association

| AmerIcus wants a better fire in sur
ance rating at the hands of the South
eastern Tariff Association, and for
some time past the Board of Trade has
been working assiduously to this de-
sired end. The prospect of accomplish
ment seems good at this moment.
Yesterday Mr.. G. B. Wilson, repre-
sentatiyeof the Tariff Association, made
careful inspection of conditions here
to the end of giving Americus a re-
rating, if it can be done.
The fire department, the streets and
other conditions locally were inspected
with greatest care.
Just now Americus Is rated second
class, and in order to get into the first
class it will be necessary to establish
another fire station, increase the de-
partment, establish an electric alarm
system and pave the streets in the
business section.
There are other requirements, but
these are most important.
Mr.. Wilson made a very thorough
inspection of the paid fire department

BOTH HARMLESS AND DELIGHTFUL
See That no Substitute is Worked on
You for COCa-COIa.

Those who drink Coca-Cola know
the geneine far too we'll to be deceived
by the mere claims of any clerk and
have the very best of reasons for re-
fusing any cheap make-shift which
may permit of larger profit to the
dealer just because the ingredients of
genuine Coca-Cola are such as make it
cost more than the injurious imi-
tations. Drinkers of real Coca Cola
know that they will find in every
glass just the cooling, thirst-quench-
ing and refreshing beverage which has
become such a universal favorite in
this and other lands. They know,
| too, that the slightly exhilarating
effects are no more harmful than cup
of tea or coffee, and make Coca Cola
the ideal as we'll as the most popular
strenuous methods in both work and
play. The genuine Coca Cola, Ma
lures choicest gift to two hemispheres
must be found and transported across
both mountains and seas. High in the
Andes, grows the Coca leaf. Deep in
the tropics of Africa, H. M. Stanley
has described how the natives are
able to make the longest, most fatigu-
ing marches by eating and chewing
the Cola nuts. Only the beneficial
properties of both have been retained
in Coca Cola making it as harmless as
it is delightful.

Board Education May Adopt Plans Therefor at Early
Date.

I Now that the city schools have

early date, adopt plans relative to the

of which Americus has stood in need

Will the board of education erect
one handsome building costing $25 600,
or will this amount be expended
upon three smaller buildings located
at convenient points?

large number OF small children re-

All of these, very nearly, now attend
at the Furlow High School building,

and across network ofrailroads where
cars and engines are being shifted
constantly, rendering it more or less
dangerous.

GAN OUR BOYS HERE DO 1T?

Washington, D. G. June 1.-THE at
States aud Territories and of the Dis
trict Commissioner has been directed
to the fact that on January 81, 1908,
under the terms of Dick militia act, the
militia organization must conform to
that Of the regular and volunteer ar
mics of the United States. This infor-
nation has been given out in letters
directed to the governors and to the
District Commissioners by Acting
Secretary of War oliver.
Gen. oliver suggests that it is the
duty of the governors to take the nee
essary steps to secure such conformity
in organization by the date named.
He ays:
Failure to meet this statutory re-
quirement Will result in debarring a
State from the use of the allotment of
the annual appropriations of $4,000, 900
for the support of the militia"
Attention is called to the face that the
third section of the act impose the con
ditiOn that the number of its regularly
enlisted, organized and uniformed
active militia shall be at least 100 men
for each Senator and Representative of
the State.
The new law will have a far-r reaching
effect upon the national guard of the
country, for in very few States do the
organizations at presentacorrespond to
those of the regular service.
The most important change required
probably will be in the great increase
in the number of men in the companies
and regiments, for it is a fact that in
many States so-called regiments of
militia, instead of being 1900 strong,
as they should be to meet modern
service demands, number scarcely
more than battalion, or 300 men, and
skeleton companies are everywhere in
evidence.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect heaEiug,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
mes is the result, and unless the in

this tube restored tits normal condl-

yesterday and found it in excellent
condition. In fact, he expressed sur
prise at the efficiency of the department
and the prime condition in which he
found all the apparatus.
More men and more apparatus, he
said, would be one of the conditions OF
first class city rating.
As to paved streets, Americus Will
have them in short while throughout
the business destrict. All the resi-
dence streets are smooth and firm, and
in case of a run, as all citizens we'll
know, greater speed can be made over
them than over paved streets.
A Gamewell alarm system is also
one of the requirements of the Tariff
Association, and the cost of this would
probably be $4,000. The telephone
system depended upon here at present
is even better, as evidenced by the
extremely small fire losses.
In any event Americus wants re-
Ii IF from the excessive insurance rates
now imposed, whether the city re-
mains in the second class or is given a
higher rating.

| Some members of the board, no
doubt, favor the three buildings plan.
The other proposition is the erection
of one handsome and modern building
for the advanced grades at Rees Park
! or other convenient locality, and the
conversion of Furlow school building
into five grades for the exclusive use
of all the smaller pupils.
This proposition, perhaps, is most
favored and may, after full delibera-
tion and investigation, be adopted.
Quite recently the city issued bond 8
in the sum of $4,000 for the erection
of additional school buildings, and it is
altogether probable that the board of
education will shortly take up the
matter of location, etc., and provide
the facilities thus required.
Members of the board favor COM
bining with the proposed new build
ing handsome auditorium for COM
mencement exercises and similar
gatherings, and this will doubtless be
included in the plans. 1t is certainly
an end greatly desired.
Rees Park is handsome plat of four
acres in one OF the residence centres of
Americus, AID would be an admirable
location for the proposed new building.

the advantage would rest with her,
and in ratio that cannot be approx

Malta. What American President but
who would rather see a Jap army en-.

Our Weak Points.

In one respect, the Philippines and
Hawaiian Islands are to this country
today what Malta was then to France.
And there is no well-informed military
or navy officer who doubts that Japan
could not seize both, and possession OF
them would have an immeasurable ad-
vantage, as their loss would deprive
this country of bases of supplies, coal
ing stations, and that big dry dock
which was recently towed to Manila,
itself a great asset in war
One thing is certain. If Japan means
to force a war on this country, she must
do it before the completion of the Pana-
ma Canal, fors. after that waterway is
cut she must needs be infinitely more
powerful than she is at present to wage
successful conflict with America.
But the completion of the canal is
some years distant. To get back to
the present. AS Japan made such
short work of the Cars war ships, it
is popularity supposed that Japan has a
very superior navy. The Mikado's S
navy is doubtless all right. But COM
petent observers who followed the
Russo-Japanese war testify that it was
not so much the excellence of Japanese
preparedness, tactics, and gunnery
that won as it was the absence of these
qualities on the Russian side.

Washington, June 4.-Puttihg wholly
aside that relation which exists be-
tween smoke and fire, this article as
sumes that there is no between the
United States and Japan. But since
there are many to assert that a conflict
lies within the easy range of possi-
bility, and as the navies of the two
powers would in all certainty bear the
initial brunt of such encounter, it may
be interesting to cast up the relative
navel strength of the two powers, and
to see wherein the advantage might
rest.
Just now this country has prepon-
derance of naval strength. But that
strength is mostly assembled on this
side of the world, aud with most of the
seven seas washing between it and the
Mikado's far-away fleet. And con-
tiguous to the mailed squadrons of the
Rising Sun are those remote possess
ions of ours, the Philippines and the
Hawaiian Islands.
