CENTRAL TO BUILD ITS
TRACKS TO THE CITY
Permission Will be Granted
Company.

The Central Railway will be grant
ed permission by the City Council
to extend tracks from Wheeler street,
up Hampton in rear of the Parker
Warehouse and adjacent property to
a point near the corner of Lamar
and Hampton streets. 1t is desired by
the railroad company to reach the
property of the wholesale grocery
company on Lamar street, from the
Hampton street side, as well as
that of other large shippers in that
vicinity, and the consent of property
owners to that end has been procured
already The new track will be built
along the east side of Hampton and
will not interfere in any way with
traffic upon that portion of the street,
which is but little used, anyway. This
extension of trackage will prove of
greatest benefit to people engaged in
business in that vicinity, as it was
in the case of the Americus Grocery
Co., the Glover Grocery Co., ice fac
tory, Armour & Co., Swift & Co., and
others having warehouses in the
wholesale district.

GAN SCRATCH A TICKET
AND SCRATCH IT AGAIN
License of the Voter is
Unlimited.

Not only can a voter in the county
primary scratch" a candidate, but
he may scratch dozen, or two dozen,
of the sprinters if it so pleases him.
In fact, he may scratch his ticket un-
til it looks like the Old Scratch him
self.
Such, in effect, is the ruling of the
executive committee.
Not only can a voter scratch" nine
of the candidates for county commits
sioner and vote for one instead of
five, the required number, but he can
scratch others.
1t will be a free for ALL with the
able voter to exercise his discretion
and pleasure, ad libitum.
Relative to the matter of scratch
ing the county executive committee
was requested to meet Saturday and
adopt a rule requiring a voter to
vote for the required number of can
didates for each vacancy, commits
sioners and all others.
This, it is thought by many, would
be fair and just.
The committee met Saturday morn
ing at the courthouse, Chairman Shep-
pard presiding, but no action what
ever was taken towards preventing the
scratching of tickets.
1t was held that if voter wished
to "single-shot" a candidate, he had a
right to do so.
There are ten candidates for coun-
ty commissioners places, five to be
elected. and the suggestion advanced
to the committee was that voter be
required to vote for five of these, the
full ticket, instead of 'single-shot-
ting any one.
But the executive committee decid-
ed to give the voter free rein in the
primary to vote for whom he liked
and strike" the others

CHOICE PROGRAM AT
THEATRE THIS WEEK
1hreeISpeCidIties Outside
Moving Pictures.

Manager Lucas, ever anxious to
please the patrons of the opera house,
has spared no reasonable expense in
arranging a program this week. 1t
is by far the most elaborate yet offer
ed in combination with the moving
pictures.
There are three separate attrac-
tions at each performance in addition
to the moving pictures. The Lolalas,
Pat and Julia, will appear in slack
wire tricks which are said to be un-
usually daring. Tip" Myers, as a
black face comedian, will render
songs, dances and monologues. And
Billy Williams will sing illustrated
songs in his inimitable maner.
1t is expected that there will be a
liberal patronage extended to the
opera house this week, as the offer
ings are SO numerous and meritorious.
Upon the patronage received this week
will depend in large measure the
liberality in expenses for future at
fractions. A good support will justi-
fly Manager Lucas in putting forth
his best efforts to bring choice attrac-
tions.

BANK IS INSTALLED IN
HANDSOME new HOME
Removal of the AmeriCuS
National.

In quarters new, and quite as
handsome and complete as those of
any banking house in southern Geor-
gia, the Americus National Bank
now greets it's patrons and the busi-
ness public, and is to be congratulate
ed upon this latest achievement.
Success from the first has followed
this splendid financial institution, and
in its beautiful new home it will
continue to receive the reward so
we'll merited.
The removal of the bank to it's new
quarters was effected yesterday, af-
ter business hours.
Occupying one of the most promi-
nent corners in the commercial heart
of the city, the home of the Americus
National is an ideal one.
In the centre, almost, of the cotton
district, and the wholesale section as
we'll; adjoining, almost, the splendid
postoffice building, and fronting two
of the main arteries of the city's COM
merce, the location is one of the
best in Americus.
The handsome building, in itself
imposing and massive, is fitted uL
expressly for the Americus National
and the interior presents beautiful
and inviting appearance.
The plans were drawn by one o1
Georgia's best architects, and nc
other work of his reflects greater
credit.
The interior, with its steel lined
vault, insuring safety; it's handsome
ly decorated steel ceiling, its floors
laid in mosaic; beautiful marble walls
mahogany and brass furniture and
electrical appliances, the effect is
both artistic and pleasing.
Every convenience for expeditfng
business is at hand. Nothing to this
end has been overlooked.
Cashier M. M.>~Lowrey and Assist
ant Cashier r. E. McNulty are the
recipients of many we'll merited com
pliments upon their very handsome
new quarters.
While not two years old, the Ameri-
Gus National has taken an enviable
rank among the financial institutions
not only in this section but of the
state. 1t has a capital of 100000
and has already accumulated large
surplus, besides paying dividends.
This bank, like the others here, is
a strong factor in the commercial
prosperity of southwestern Georgia
and continued success awaits it.

RAwHIDE Is IN EsMERALDA.
Report Filed With Commissioner and
the Same Is Accepted.

At last the much mooted question
as 10 which county Rawhide is in,
Churchill or Esmeralda, has been de-
finitely settled. Esmeralda wins.
Thanks be to the Fates.
United States Deputy Mineral Sur
veyor T. X. Stewart, who was recent
ly employed by Churchill county to
make a survey, has finished his work
and made his report to the COM
missioners of this county. He finds
that the survey recently made by Mr..
Taylor was correct, which places the
Rawhide mining district wholly with
in Esmeralda county.
While the settling of this question
has cost the county some money and
the commissioners of Churchill
county were warranted in the ex-
penditure and worked hard and
earnestly for the possession of this
rich camp, the final decision giving
the camp to Esmaralda county is for
the best interest of Churchill county.
The editor of the Standard has on
numerous occasions privately ex-
pressed the opinion that If the sur
yeyors decided that Rawhide was in
Churchill county that the time would
soon come when the citizens of
Fallon would regret IL. Rawhide is
making wonderful growth in pepu
lation, and probably before the close
of the coming summer it will be a
town of 10000 souls. Half of that
number is now claimed, and there
seems to be no diminution in the
rush to the camp Once the perman-
ency of the camp is established, with
a population equal to Goldfield or
Tonopah. and steps would be taken to
move the county seat from Fallon,
had the survey given the camp to this
county The history of Esmaralda
and Nye counties and the effort now
being made by Yerins ton to have the
county seat of Lyon county removed
from Dayton TO that place are a
warrant of what would be in store for
Churchill in the event that Rawhide
had been declared within the confines
of this county
Churchill is doing very well as
things stand. The county is not in
need of the revenue from Rawhide,
as large as it will probably be.
Fallon is destined TO be one of the
largest and most important cities in
Nevada. Just a few short years and
Fallon will be able to protect itself
against the entertainments and I'M
fair designs of populous but totally
irresponsible community of ad-
yenturers.

CHASTITY FIND MADE.
Pr0spectors Discover Head and Also
Remains of Body.

NJ. J. Howard of Goldfield, who is
now in Rhyolte, returning from Oar
win, In the Argus range, made a few
ghastly discoveries in the Panamint
valley on the trip in. Some four
miles from the old Modoc mine, be-
tween Darwin and Wild Rose, he
discovered the remains OF human
body buried under rile of rocks
seven or eight feet high. His atten-
ton was attracted to the burial place
by shin bone sticking out from be-
meath the rocks. On the bone was
laced boot. dried and shriveled from
long exposure to the weather, and in
the boot were the bones of the foot,
fallen apart through decay of the
llgament.
The man had evidently been dead
for many years. and there was noth-
ing left by which his identIfioation
could be established. The bones
were thoroughly bleached, indicative
OF their long exposure.
The next discovery which Mr.
Howard made was that of a human
head in a cracker box three or four
miles from the first The box bore
the writing: This head was found
In the gulch." The head, Mr. How
ard says, looked like it had been sew
cred from the trunk by some sharp
OF preservation, to all appearances
the man having been dead only few
months. -Bullfrog Miner.

COmstOck Mules see
First Light in
80 Years

Twelve mules which have been
used to carry ore in the 700-foot level
of the Sutro tunnel on the Comstock
and have not seen the light of day in
thirty years, were brought to the sur
face this morning. The mules will
never return to the bowels of the
earth, for electric power will move
the cars along the underground reil-
road in the future.
Blinking in the bright light the
mules etod at the mouth of the
tunnel today and seemed little in
clined to resume the ways they knew
before going into the heart of the
Davidson mountain Snow was fall
ing when the animals were liberated
and the unusual temperature caused
them to try to stampede.
In 1877 when the Sutro tunnel
was first opened, herd of mules
were taken underground. As years
passed many of the animals died.
The last dozen. however. became
Accustomed to the subterranean
climate.
In 1890. when Virginia City was
cut off from the world by snow. pro-
visions were let into the mouth of
the tunnel, hauled five miles by the
mules and hoisted from the Con.
Virginia shaft. thus preventing the
town from starving. For several
days the only communication Vir-
ginia City had with the outside world
was down the shaft and out through
the tunnel.
