ators are anticipating quite pronounced
rebound in prices in the immediate fu-

convinced that this will be the beginning

AmeriCuS Light Infantry to Petition
Council.

At the next meeting of the City
Council there will probably be pre-
sented petition from the officers of
the Americus Light Infantry request
ing that the city give the company the
use of the city hall for an armory.
The large hall was at one time used
by the company for military purposes.
The city frequently allowed bazars and
other functions to be held therein also.
necessitating the removal at times of
the company's equipment.
1t is now desired that the ci give to
the company the exclusive privileges
of the hall room, with the exception of
its use for public meetings which
would not necessitate the removal of
the equipment.
If this is done a decided step will
have been taken toward putting the
company on proper financial footing.
AS 1t is now, it is paying $25'
month rent. With this amount saved
aud the assistance that is given by
business men and others the company
would have no trouble in a financial
way.

the city's new artesianI well is now
going into the earth at rapid rate,
and Cont1 actor Chandler is hopeful of
striking a fine flowing stream ere other
obstacles are reached.
The flowing streams are there all
right, and he will find one.
Not long ago the drill struck ledl e
of solid rock at great depth, and it
required many days of tedious work to
penetrate it.
Instead of reducing the size of the
pipe, as probably others would have
done, the rock ledge was bored through
at the same uniform calibre, although
this necessitated hard work and con-
siderable additional cost to the con-
tractor.
One of the city's best wells now in
use is about $50 feet deep, and the well
now being bored may strike water at
the same level.
When this well is completed Ameri-
Gus will have tour fine artesian wells
at the pumping station, this insuring
an abundant supply of pure water for
many years in the future. And this
supply can be increased as the needs
demand.
Pure water, and plenty oft, is essen
tial to any progressive city. And
Americus has this.

SPINNERS MUST HAVE COTTON
Daenner, of Bremen, Sees Shortage
for Summer.

Mr.. Hugo Daenner of B Bremen, cot
ton buver and agent, was a visitor in
the Sayannrh Cotton Exchange yester-
day, having come direct from New
York. He is making brief tour of
the cotton section and left at night for
Montgomery.
European spinners are nearly bare
of cotton" said Mr.. Daenner, "and
must lay in supplies during July
and August. AS a result / look for
higher prices for cotton. The spinners
have sold far in advance and have
bought cotton contracts to protect
themselves for nearly year ahead.
shipments from this country
have been very large, the cotton has
been consumed so rapidly that mills
will be compelled to buy more to run
for the rest of the season."

AMER|CUS TO INVITE TEAMS
, bIbany, Columbus and COrdeIe are Invited to Play
Ball Here.

1t is probable that Americus will play
Albany on the Ia t3rs diamond this
afternoon. Albany has a good team,
so has Americus, and if the two meet
again the home boys will put forth
strenuous efforts to redeem the defeat
of last week, when Albany cleaned up
Amerlcus by a score of 5 to 3.
On Friday afternoon Richland is
expected to send team over to play
Americus. Richland claims to have
some good base ball material among
it's population and this will give it a
chance to demonstrate its skill wit b
the bat and ball.
1t is hoped to arrange for another
game with Plains later IN the season
when Plains has recovered from its
last experience and strengthened its
team and got it into better shape by
practice.

Mr.. T. j. Bell, manager of the Ameri-
Gus aggregation, has written to Colum-
bus and Cordele for a series of three
games with each at Americas, our team
to play return series at each of
those places, 1t is probable that this
proposition will be accepted.
SO far the efforts to get up small
league, composed of Americus, Albany,
Cordele and Montezuma, have not
been successful. Each of those towns
has the matter under consideration
and Manager Bell is hopeful that
arrangements will yet be perfected.
Last weeks games demonstrated
that ball is popular drawing card in
Americas, and that with any two good
teams on the local field an attendance
of FIVE hundred paid spectators can be
looked for.

A Most Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed In DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medicinal
properties which it extracts from native
medicinal roots and holds in solution
much better than alcohol would. It also
possesses medicinal properties of its own,
being a valuable demulcent, nutritive,
antiseptic and antiferment. 1t adds
greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry
bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone
root and Queens root, contained in
NGolden Medical Discovery in subduing
chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, for all of which
these agents are recommended by stand
ard medical authorities.
In all cases where there Is a wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak
stomach, as in the early stages of con-
sumption, there can be no doubt that gly.
cerine acts as a valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about a healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. It will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. It will cure very severe, obsti-
nate. hang-on, chronic coughs, bronchial
throat with hoarSeneSs. In acute coughs
1t Is not so effective. 1t is in the lingering
hang-on coughs, or those of long standing,
even when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed It's most
marvellous cures.
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben.
nett Med. College, Chicago, says of gly-
cerine:
"In dyspepsia it serves an excellent purpose.
Holding a fixed quantity of the peroxide OF
hydrogen in solution, it is one of the best
manufactured products of the present time in
its action upon enfeebled, diSordefed stom-
echs, especially If there is liberation or ca

WANT TO LEASE HOUSE
FOR TERM OF YEARS.
Company Is After The
Theatre.
BIG IMPROVEMENT IN BUILDING
Manager Dudley Will Fit Up Opera
House in Good StyIe---Offer to
Lease is Made By Well
Known Manager. !
BIG IMPROVEMENT IN BUILDING

The Times Recorder told several days
ago of the purchase of the opera house
property by Mr.. Will Dudley, the
present manager, and of his purpose to
greatly improve the building before
the opening of another season, making
many additions thereto.
This information was hailed with
delight by play-goers.
The Americus theatre was built in
1873, just twenty nine years ago, and
has long since outgrown the demands
of the city, although some improve
ments were made therein.
Amerlcus, a prosperous city now and
growing rapidly, was but a village
then in comparison and it needs now
a large and modern playhouse COM
mensurate with h;r growth and i'm
portance. A theatre is one of the
essentials of any city.
Manager Dudley proposes to give
this, as far as possible, in the enlarge
ment of his building.
The roof above the stage will be
raised considerably, thus affording
space for the placing of special scenery.
In addition to this, new scenery will be
put in this summer and an electrical
equipment, long needed, will be install
led as well.
These and other improvements are
contemplated by Mr.. Dudley, which,
when carried out, will add vastly to
the equipment of the theatre.
In the meanwhile Manager Dudley
has received from firm of theatrical
managers in Georgia a proposition to
lease the theatre, and is now giving it
consideration. This firm already has
management of theatres in five of the
smaller Georgia cities.
In either event Americus playgoers
will see a better line of attractions
next season, brought about by the
enlargement of the stage and other inn
provements. Many companies coming
here now cannot use their special
scenery upon this stage.
Americus will literally patronize
the opera house under the improved
conditions promised.

Yesterday shortly after the recess
the last fire drill of the year was held
at the Furlow High School building.
When the gong was sounded by Supt
Miller there was an immediate re-
spOnse by the teachers and childr n.
Within ten second lines were moving
from each of the rooms on both floors
and al the end of one and three
quarter minutes by the watch the en-
tire building had been cleared. There
was no disorder and the test showed
how we'll the children have been train
ed, 1t has never taken oyer two min
utes to clear the building, and at times
it has been done in minute and a
half. The gong is sounded without
any preliminary notice, at times when
the children are all in the ir seats at
work. and the results demonstrate the
efficiency OF the drilling they haye re
ccived.
The high school building is very
much in need of renovation and re-
pairs. The public generally hopes
that during the vacation there will be
liberal use of calcimine and paint
and that other work of repair and bet
terment will be done. At present its
appearance inside and out is not
creditable to the city of Americus.

Boys Quit School Early.

One boy and four girls are preparing
10 leave the eleventh grade, having
finished the curriculum of the public
schools. This is about the usual pro-
portion. The boys of Americus do not
seem to go very far in their studies, AS
rule. During the past seven years
there have been 1873 graduates from
the High school, of whom 23 were boys,
about one boy to five girls. 1t takes
eleven wears to finish the school course,
and by the time the boys get to thir-
teen, fourteen or fifteen years of age
the desire to become money makers,
to enter the fields ofbusiness, proves too
seductive, and books are laid aside for
the store, or the office, or the fields, or
the factory. Indeed, statistics show
that the greater number of the boys
entering the public school here do not
go beyond the 9TH grade, which would
make them about 13 or IA years Of age.
The proportion of those who enter
the Furlow high school is small, while
those who complete that course, as
shown in the mum Der of graduates, is a
very small part of one per cent of those
who enter the public schools.

schools. The agricultural college has
minimum age limit for admission of
fourteen years.
1t is thought that number of boys
of that age and over will leave the public
schools for the college, and that for a
year or two there may be quite dimi-
mutton in the attendance of boys in the
upper grades as a result. After that it
is expected there will be return to
normal conditions again.
Applications for election as teachers
are being filed with Superintendent
Miller. The Board of Education will

its session on May %. The opinion
prevails that all of the old force will be
retained. There is not a vacancy at
this time to fill.

of Thursday, June 13, and those OF the
colored schools on the night of
