VAUDEVILLE AT
THEATRE PLEASES
Two Good SpeCiaItieS Play.
ing This Week.

This week Manager Lucas is pre-
senting an unusually fine list of at
fractions at each performance Be
sides the moving pictures, which are
of the usual high grade, he has Sc
cured two features which made a gen
uine hit yesterday, matinee and night
Stern and Earle, in their Dutch
comedy act entitled The Arrival OF
Lena furnished the funny stunt, their
turn winning unstinted praise from
the audience. The Dutch" of Earle
was the real thing. 1t is a departure
from the vaudeville which has been
presented thus far, and the favorable
reception accorded it proved it to be
lucky strike for the management
Miss Dorothy Horr, singing an6
dancing soubrette, was also a success
Her petite figure and winning ways
secured the good will of the audience
from the start One feature of hel
work is four quick changes of cos
tunes, one being a Louis XIV dress
including the powdered wig and flop
pish costume prevalent at that
period. The minuette dance was also
we'll received.
The same program exactly, both il
moving pictures and vaudeville will
be repeated today, giving everybody
a chance to see the specialties which
proved SO catchy yesterday Tomor-
row an entirely new program in eV-
cry way will be presented Another
change will be made on Friday.

BIG DEBATE AT PLAINS
WOULD DRAW A CROWD
Many Probably Will Attend
Anyway.

Tee fact that Col. Fletcher w. Grit
fin is going to speak at Plains on
Friday night in the interest of his
candidacy for the Legislature, and
has invited the two other candidates,
Col. j. e. Sheppard and Col. John
Williams, to meet him there, arouses
interest in local political circles. Col.
Griffin is a ready and forceful speak
er, and that he will entertain his
audience in defining his views upon
public questions goes without the
sayings Inconvenient schedules will
debar many in Americus from attend
ing the debate who otherwise would
do so, unless a special schedule can
be arranged whereby the party could
go out and return the same night
This is now being looked into, it is
said, and the special will be provided
in the event all of the candidates thus
agree to meet upon the stump Friday
night. If this cannot be done a
joint debate may be arranged to take
place here as we'll as in the coun-
try districts where two or three events
are scheduled already

DUNCAN HAS MANY
BARGAINS TODAY
Some of the Good Things
Offered by This Firm.

The old reliable Duncan Mercantile
company is making some big drives
for today in muslin underwear. Some
garments got mussed and soiled from
window display. They are not in
jured at all for wear, but today the
firm is going to sell all garments
from the window at 80 percent dis
count. This is the last day of the
muslin underwear sale and those who
fail to attend will lose the benefits OF
the reductions
One of the specialties of the firm is
Nadig corsets, which have become
famous because they are the best
for the price, $1.00 and $3.50, to be
found anywhere.
Women's skirts, made of chiffon
Panamas and Voiles, full sweep, will
be on sale at $4 9S, value $6.9S to
$1,000. All lengths and waist meas
ures.
Hosiery for men, women and child
rem is also feature Of the sale this
week. Black, tan and all colors A
new shipment opened up yesterday.
More than 200 dozen on display. Pric-
es are right on all grades.
Ladies % cent embroidered collars
all the new shapes, pure linen, at 10
cents.
Val lace at So cents will be one of
the surprises of the sale today. More
than 10000 yards have been sold by
the Duncan Mercantile Company since
the first of February. Edgings and
insertions worth ~ to 10 cents q
yard, sold only by the dozen, at 5S
cents a dozen.
Besides these specialties, the firm is
offering many choice lines today at
prices much below regular retail val
ues. They ask the ladies to come to-
day and see the big values being Civ

COUNT is FINISHED IN
ONE WARD OF CITY
Nearly 2,3OO People Found
in Fourth.

Just one week was required by
the census enumerators to count the
people living in the Fourth ward, and
the exact number of residents found
there by Mr.. Persons and his assist
ant was 2,250 The Fourth ward is
bounded north by Church street and
west by Jackson, extending thence
to the corporate boundaries The
ward divisions are made at Jackson
and Church streets, the Bivins resi-
dence being at the corner of the
Fourth ward, the Raines home just
opposite, being in the First, the Speer
home in the Second and the Y. NJ. C.
A. building in the Third ward, these
four properties occupying the four
street corners at the point indicated,
while Jackson street north and SOUTH
and Church street east and west, di-
vide the city into four big wards
OF these, the Third ward is probably
the most densely populated and upon
this Mr.. Persons started his work
of enumeration yesterday. With 2,250
people living in the Fourth ward, as
reported, there will be no difficulty in
finding a grand total of 10000 people
heer when the count is completed a
month hence.

WANTS TO CHANGE ITS
TRAINS TO AMERICUS
Central Thus Desires Per-
mission.

The Central Railway is anxious to
make important changes in the opera
ton of all of it's trains on the Ameri-
cus-Columbus line, and has thus ask
ed permission of the Railroad Com
mission, where the matter now awaits
a final decision
The proposed change disco1finues
two trains and makes a mixed passen-
ger and freight of the passenger train
now arriving in Americus at 80 a.
M, returning at $3.50 p. m.
The proposition has been referred
by the Railway Commission to the
Mayor and Columbus board of trade.
1t is not known. whether information
to this effect was given the Americus
authorities. If so, nothing was heard
of it.
The Central Railway desires to
discontinue the two mixed passenger
and freight trains, one leaving Ameri-
Gus in the early morning and re-
turning here at Z p. m. In place of
these trains it is proposed to put on
a freight train, which will run tri-
weekly.
This freight train would probably
leave Americus on Mondays, Wednes-
days and Friday, returning Tuesday
Thursday and Saturday.
1t is contended by the railway COM
pany that traffic on that line has
fallen off to such an extent that
the company does not feel justified in
running double daily trains
In consequence of handling loaded
freight cars on passenger trains the
schedule will have to be heightened
one-half hour in each direction.
The February earnings for the
trains on this route were as follows ::
No. 5, 3710 cents per mile No. 6.
41.9 cents per mile; No. 10, 1872 cents
per mile; No. 20, 14.5 cents per mile
The Americus Board of Trade will
probably take cognizance of the mat
ter, whether or not it is brought to
the attention of the Board officially.
The contemplated changes will be
made in due time if no objection is
filed with the commission.
Mayor Brown of Columbus, has con-
ferred with the Board of Trade of
that City, and also expects to take
up the mater with the local post of
the T. P. A. and get expressions of
their views on this subject

AMERlCUS is SAVED BY
ARRIVAL OF THE TRAIN
Much Suffering is Averted
Thereby.

The arrival of a Central Railwa,
freight train at a late hour SATURDAY.
night afforded Americus a limited sup
ply of ice Sunday and yesterday, an(
thereby averted suffering among sicI
people and others here who wan
ice at this season.
The coming of the "way freight
was heralded two hours in advance
and many citizens went to the depo
to see if it We're really true that AM
ericus was again to have ice.
And, we'll into the night, the relie|
train really arrived.
For it is a fact, and a most lament
able one, that Americus has to dd
pend wholly upon other towns morI
fortunate than herself for suppl
of ice, and when small shipments arI
exhausted, as is frequently the casd
there is suffering.
One of the local drug stores receiV3
ed small shipment by express SatuIE
day from Albany and thus tided oveE
his soda fountain
Not a pound of ice has been mad
here since last summer or fall, an
during the winter as we'll as through
out the past month of warm weathek
the entire city has been compelled &
depend upon shipments by freigfN
from other towns.
1t is an unpleasant predicament f(N
city of 10000 people to be withoA
ice as has been the case oftimes thN
summer, but there seems to be D.
help for it.
Mr.. II. l.. Mize of Americus, ope|
ates an ice plant at Cordele, whid
has been running for several weel
but he can sell the entire output
that town and territory. In fact,
of the surplus he will make for fo@
months is practically sold
Even when the fruit shipping sci
son begins in June the refrigerat
cars sent to Americus for pea
shipments must be iced at Macon, Sc
empty" to Americus, and re-iced
Macon, before proceeding north
queer state of affairs.
This, of course, entails addition
cost upon the local orchard men, bW
they must grin and bear it.

BLEACHINGS SHOULD
BE PRICED AT 8 SAC

A typographical error appeared in
the advertisement of the Duncan Mer-
camille Company on Sunday and in the
weekly es-Recorder, Fruit of the
Loom and Barker & Lonsdale bleach
ing being offered at 6A cents. The
correct figures should have been S%
cents. Notwithstanding the price was
in error, Mr.. Duncan yielded to the
insistance of a number of customers
yesterday and on Saturday who asked
for the goods at the quoted price.
Though every yard sold at 6% cents
represents a larger percent loss, the
firm pockeded the loss with grace.
Today the Fruit of the Loom and
the Barker & Lonsdale bleachings
will be sold at SA cents, which is it
self generous cut from the usual
selling price.

AVENUE TO COLLEGE is
NOT OPENED AS YET
Street Force Should Get
Busy There.

In planning the approaches to the
Agricultural college site here an
imaginary avenue, the main approach,
leads westward to Lee street at
Glessner street. This means of con-
venient approach is still blocked, and
all traffic of vehicles is forced around
the Fielder street route. Very little
work would be required to open
the main Western avenue, and this
should be done. The Seaboard Rail-
way track would require an mex
pensive crossing, while little road
work on either side would be requir-
ed. The opening of this avenue would
greatly facilitate travel to and
from the college.

RAILROAD FARES
LOVER TOMORROW
Various Concessions on
Number of Lines.

Railroad fare on tomorrow will be
reduced to ? 1-2 cents on a majority
of the roads south of the Ohio and
east of the Mississippi rivers. At
present this rate prevails between
Georgia points, but in buying a ticket
into another state the rate is 3
cents. Tomorrow it will be 2 1-2
cents.
interchangeable 1,O0OImile books
will also be on sale tomorrow at
$40, or 2 cents per mile. These
books will differ from those now in
use in that instead of the conductor
tearing out the mileage, the ticket
agent will Go this, exchanging there
for regular ticket. These. books are
for individual use and are non-trans-
ferable
Another ticket which will be a
new one is an interchangeable 1900
mile ticket good for one of five
designated persons, members or en-
plOyes of the same concern, at 2
cents per mile This is the ticket for
which the travelling men have been
clamoring.
Yet another new book on sale to-
morrow will be the family 500-mile
book, good only within the state, and
only on the line selling the book, and
sold at IA cents. The whole fam
lily can ride on this ticket at once.
In Georgia the principal roads
which are not included in the agree
ment are the Western and Atlantic
the Atlanta and West Point and the
Georgia road, the two former al
ready having a fiat rate of 2 cents
per mile and the latter IA cents
Competing lines of course have to
give the same fiat rates between COM
petative points.
Besides all of these, the regular
1,000-mile book, good on nearly every
line in the South, will be sold at
$25.

.SWIPE OF PENNIES AND
PEANUTS AS WELL
Money and Machine Alike
Stolen.

Attached to an iron receptacle at
the Hudson drug store corner for
several days was a patent jar con-
tanning salted peanuts, and penny
dropped in the slot procured hand
ful. But some bold thief yesterday
morning got the entire outfit. and
without the formality of putting in a
penny. Not only was the glass re-
ceptacle wrenched from its fastening
and carried away, but about three
hundred pennies were stolen with it.
The robbery was probably committed
when one lone policeman who does
guard duty in that portion of Ameri-
Gus had gone to the barracks at
change of the midnight watch.

CONVICTS ARE A DRUG
ON HANDS OF LESSERS

Fear is expressed that unless con-
ditiOns materially improve within
the next few months Georgia will have
a difficult time in leasing her con-
victs again at anything like a salts
factory price. 1t is said the only rea-
son that those lumber manufacturers
in South Georgia who employ con-
vict labor have not shut down their
plants as a result of the business de-
preston is that they are required un-
der their contracts with the state
to keep the convicts at work and
that is the only way in which they
can do it. Several of those employ
ing cOnvicts have recently urged the
secretary of the Prison Commission
to send them no more men; those they
have, they say, are largely drug
on their hands.
