su asamblea en- ell palacio del

Pero una ojeada tendida a las
estadisticas, mostr6 a los aSOm-

OLD STEEDS in LINEUP
WITH CHIEF AS JUDGE
Hacks and Rigs Are Given
inspection.

In response to official ukase, the
hacks and drays that rattle in Amer
Gus rolled and ratified to the city hall
yesterday to have their characters
passed upon and get license to rat
tie through the year It was an inn
posing array at best, and when Chief
Feagin, clothed in dignity and blue
uniform, went DOWN the line as lord
high executioner the jehus saalamed
and katowed, while each sleeping
steed was given yank of the reins
and made to take notice This in
spection is required by the "stat-
oots," of council, and woe be unto
any rickety one-horse shay or spav-
ined steed found in the galaxy of
wheeled chariots. Every animal with
latticed sides, evidencing the require
ment of more hay-packing, was cut
out and the jehu duly admonished to
use more ammunition in loading the
animal, and less water Nearly all
of the rigs got through the ordeal and
scampered away from the burning
gaze of the grand cyclops to chase
quarters and dimes at the depots.

NO STORES ARE EMPTY
AS RESULT OF LAW
Every Saloon in AmeriCuS
Under Lease.

Americus has no closed stores as
the result of state prohibition, for
while others cities of the state have
many 'empties" with rent notices
dangling at the portals, there is none
of it in Americus. Of the nine stores
where liquor was formerly sold,
several were taken Immediately for
other lines of business, and it is
said now that all the others are un-
der lease and will be occupied very
shortly as retail gorcery houses or
for other lines of business. In fact,
there are but two here now with doors
shut, and these are already spoken
for, it is said and will soon be occu-
pied. The one colored bar in the city
has opened up as a soft drink" pal
ace and pool room, and the denizens
there enjoy their hop ale, hop cheer,
Jack Frost, and other wet purchases
instead of gin and old corn, as be-
fore. Prohibition knocked a hole
in realty in some cities but not in
Americus, it would seem.

FIVE NAMES ON BOARD
ARE SOON TO CHANGE
Council to Elect Members
Shortly.

Along with other elections in Am
ericus shortly, and one about which
more than ordinary interest centers,
will be that of five members of the
city Board of Education-nearly one
half of the total number. And while
this is not an election by the people,
it is one for the people, and in which
all are duly interested. The City
Council elects to all vacancies upon
the Board of Education, and there
will be five vacancies to fill in March,
little more than a month hence. There
are several members of the present
board whose terms will then expire,
while successors to Messrs. G. M.
Eldridge and DR.. G. T. Miller, res
igned, will be chosen as we'll, AL
ready the forthcoming election is be-
ing discussed by friends of those
considered good board timber" and
the Council will doubtless have an
array of names from which to select
the five required.

PLAY AT
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT
"Heir to the HOOrah" in
Capable Hands.

Paul Armstrong; delightful comedy
of the West, THE Heir to the Hoor-
ah, which was such a success here
last season, comes to Gloyer's Opera
House tonight.
"The Heir to the Hoorah" is COM
edy written principally of men and
the men in it's are real, albeit they
furnish much laughter through their
attempts to appear at ease in even
ing dress. Comedy and pathos are
deftly interviewer by Mr.. Armstrong,
combining to make this idyl of the
West one of the most pleasing plays
of the contempOraneous stage.
This is the third season of "The
Heir to the HoOrah," and it's ever
increasing popularity is known to
all theatre-goers, 1t bids fair to run
on indefinitely.
The Kirke La Shelle Company pro-
misses a new scenic investiture and a
thoroughly adequate cast for the pre-
sentation.
Frank Monroe will be seen as Joe
Lacy, abundantly proving his fitness
for this eXacting role by past per-
formances. Helene Lackaye will ap-
pear as the dashing widow, Kate
Brandon, the portrayal of which won
this clever young actress much
praise last year. Dave Lacy and Bud
Young, Joe's partners in the "Hoor-
ah" mine, will be played by Harry
Crosby and Ralph Dean Others in
the cast will be Ben. S. Higgins, Cas-
sius G. QuinbY Frederick and H. S.
Hashida.
The story of 'The Heir to the Hoor-
ah' chiefly concerns a baby, whose
coming into the world results in
bringing together a husband and
wife who have parted through a sad
mistake.
The play pleased New York and
Chicago tremendously, running for
four months in the first named city
and eight weeks in the latter
Il am much pleased that we can
offer such splendid show" said
Manager Lucas yesterday. Every
body who comes will be absolutely
sure Of seeing one of the best of
travelling shows. Americus people
are lucky to have such an opportun-
ity. Every lover of a good, clean
play, delightfully."- acted, should be
sure to come. They will not be dis
appointed,

TROOPS OF STATE MAY
ALL HAVE AN OUTING
Light Infantry to EnCamp-
ment Also.

The Americus Light Infantry, toge-
ther with all the military of the
State, may go to encampment this
summer, either at Chickamauga Park
or Fort screven, as Arrangements to
that end are now being worked out
by the military authorities of the
State, and an early decision is ex-
pected.
The War Department has notified
the Governor that it would pay the
expenses of one regiment of infantry
from this state to the war maneuvers
thi ssummer at Chickamauga.
Gov. Smith favOrS the plan of send
ing all troops to Chickamauga, eX-
cepting those which have been as
signed to. Fort Screven, and will take
up the matter with the War Depart
ment with a view to making arrange
ments to that end
OF course troops sent into camp at
Chickamauga in excess of the regi-
ment of infantry designated by the
War Department will have to got at
the expense of the state. 1t is stated,
that the military fund is sufficient
to pay this expense.
There is interest among the militia
as to the dates of inspection for
1908, and inquiry from several sec
tions has been made at the Adjutant
Generals office.
1t will be ten days and perhaps two
weeks before it will be possible to
announce these dates, Adt Gen. A. J.
Scott has said.
The department is now busy work
ing on them, and as soon as the list
is completed it will have to be sub
mitted to the United States War De-
partment and approved before it can
be published. This is on account of
the fact that the inspection for the
War Department is to be made by a
United States officer. ~
While it has not yet been definitely
decided, it is more THAN probable that
the inspection for the state will be
made this year as last by Gen. w. G.
Obeaf who is now quartermaster
general of state troops.
just what army officer will be sent
to Georgia to make the inspection for
the government has not been deter
mined
Last year the inspection began on
Feb. II ,and it is stated they will be-
gin about the same date this year,
running we'll into April On account
of the reduction of the states forces,
however, it is not likely that the in
spections will require so much time
this year.

OFFICE HAD A HOLIDAY
ALONG WITH OTHERS
Letter Men Had a Rest
Monday.

The Americus postofice was closed
yesterday, observing Sunday hours,
on account of the Lee Day. holiday.
This was the first time the postoff1ce
has ever observed Lee Day." closing
only upon stated national holidays,
and both surprise and qualification
was evidenced by the people of Am
ericus at this observance of a State
holiday, and upon such occasion. The
Americus office took a rest under the
section of the rules of the department
allowing holiday upon national holi-
days and such occasions as designat-
ed by the Governor of the State as
a legal holiday. In Georgia this oc-
casion is q legal holiday The banks,
as usual, were closed for business
yesterday while the public schools of
the city had holiday as well.

TO RAISE THE CURTAIN
ON SALE OF SEASON
Ladies' Are Invited in This
Offer.

Any Americus lady offered four dol
lars for $1.30 would take it, and any
one offered $3.50 or even So would do

only $1.30, and that is exactly what
the Duncan Co. is doing today in the
