BIG hit AT THEATRE
Is MADE BY PICTURES

One of the largest audiences as
sembled at the theatre in week en-
joyed last night the excellent series
of moving pictures presented. The
bill was a fine one throughout, while
the effects produced added vastly to
the success of the show. When il
comes to putting on the effects, thus
making the scenes truly realistic,
Manager Harry Lucas has no equal
Whether it be moving automobile,
a crashing china closet railway
train or any other noise producer he
is always there with the goods, the
effects adding as much interest as
the pictures in themselves.

WORKING TIME is CUT
AT SHOPS IN CITY
Though But a Very Slight
Reduction.

The working hours at the Americus
shops of the Seaboard Railway were
reduced yesterday from nine to
eight, and this schedule will be main
tanned through the month, if not lon
ger. Time is usually cut down
about the end of the year, but rare
ly does the reduction continue long.
There is an abundance of work on
hand and for this reason it is be-
lieved that the reduction of one hour
yesterday will not be long continued.
In many shops large numbers of men
are being laid off to the end of re-
ducing the expenditures, but there is
no reduction of forces in Americus.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN

PANAMA BONDS ARE GOING FAST
All Indications Point to Large Over
Subscription of Bonds, as 1t Was

Washington, .. c. There were
several importan: developments Tues
day in the plans OF the treasury de-
partment for affording relief to the
money market by the issue of new
securities. Secretary Cortelyou stat
ed that Of the amount paid for The
Panama canal bonds, 80 per cent
would be deposited with national
banks purchasing such bonds. All
the indications point to a large over
subscription for the bonds.
An important fact relating TO the
one-year treasury certificates is that
already the amount allotted approx
mates s25, 0O0. 900. or this sum only
about SO, 500, 900 has yet been pledged
as security for circulation, but the
certificates are being transferred to
the custody Of the United States

there will not be much more hoard

much further necessity for inc easing

OF new bank note circulation taken
out In November slightly exceeds
$40, 200, 900, which is beyond the esti-
mates of the trade three weeks ago.
