TWO WELL KNOWN CITIZENS
CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS

Mr.. Charles Fricker and Judge Jno.
A. Cobb celebrated their birthdays
on Tuesday. The "reminiscences of
both gentlemen of times ''befo de
wah" are always entertaining to
their friends. AS far as can be
learned from the most ancient and
reputable authorities, these we'll
known citizens were not born in the
same year. Both of them, however,
entertain hopes of living to see the
street cars running in front of their
doors, which, to those of pessimis-
tic nature, would indicate that they
are still some distance to the rear of
the psalmist's allotted age for man.
Having passed through the stage
coach period of this section, seen the
rise of the railroad to it's present COM
manding position, and watched the
advent of the auto as a factor in
every day life, both gentlemen are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mr..
Frank Lanier's areoplane, now being
made to order by Wright Bros, in
order that they may be living wit
nesses to the final evolution of mans

APPEAL TO VOTERS Is
MADE BY COL. HUGHES
Voters of Third District to
Roll Up Big Vote.

Hon. Dudley NJ Hughes, from his
home at Danville, sends this word to
the voters of the Third congressional
district, and requests also that all
the papers in the district copy:
To the Voters of the Third Con-
gressional District of Georgia:
1t is with pleasure l announce to
you the bright prospect of the demo-
cratic victory The south is solid.
In the west and east there is a great
revolution of feeling in favor of Will
liam J. Bryan.
Special privileges to none" and a
government of the people by the peo-
pie, is the cry.
Georgias the Empire State of the
south, has ever stood in the front
rank of democracy, declaring the
people shall rule
/ wish to impress that the Georgia
law requires a majority vote in the
presidential election
The state is invaded by four other
parties to defeat majority vote.
If they succeed the Georgia legis-
lature, in extra session, will have to
declare the result An extra session
will be costly to the tax payers. This
can be averted if the voters turn
out and go to the polls.
I beg of the voters of the Third
congressional district to realize
that it is important to lay aside ALI
business on Tuesday, the Sd day of
November, and give Mr.. Bryan the
required majority vote.
There is another reason
We make our fight in the primary
election and neglect the general cleo
tions Congress estimates our vote
by the general election, and small
vote in the general election causes
embarrassment to your Georgia con.
gressmen.
The "Crumpackers" of congress
complain that our representation j.
not in accord with our vote.
1t will be most gratifying to a
Georgia congressman to have {
heavy vote polled Hence | issue this
address, hoping that the appeal will
reach the voters, and impress upon
them the Importance of large out
pouring of the democratic voters on
the Sd of November.

COUNTY TENDERS
MONUMENT SITE
Joins City in Giving Space
in Yard.

Another step towards getting the
lWirz monument to Americus was
taken yesterday, when the Board of
County Commissioners at a called
meeting donated to the U. d. c., such
a part of the courthouse grounds as
should be needed to erect there the
Wirz monument The action was un-
animous. A number of members had
already pledged themselves to donate
the monument on the dividing line
for the city and county sections
of the yard, between the court house
and the city hall While the city
council has not taken official action
on the matter, enough of the mem
bers have pledged themselves to the
plan to insure the tender of the city's
part OF the site to the Daughters for
the purpose named.
When the delegates from the Am
ericus Chapter to the Savannah
convention leave here next Monday,
they will be prepared to tender
most desirable site, to offer money
back to one chapter which contribut-
ed for Andersonville only-should it
be requested-and to refund the
money spent for invitations printed
for an unveiling on October 81.
AS for arguments, the Americus
delegates will have the best of the
question in nearly every way. Mrs
j. e. Mathis, who will probably pre-
sent the claims of Americus, has al
ready a storehouse of reasons why
the Wirz monument should be placed
at Americus. Numerous other Chap
ters in the state will second the pro-
position to put the monument here.
1t looks now as if the prospects of
Americus winning were very bright
The state convention meets in Saw
annah on Oct 81 and will be in ses-
sion two days.

WOOTEN
UP FROM WAYCROSS

Mr. E. B. Wooten, manager of the
Windsor and of the lie Grand hotels,
was up from Waycross yesterday on
a business trip. He found everything
moving on nicely here under the di-
rection of his son. Mr. John Wooten.
He left at night for Waycross.
The LeGrand hotel was opened a
week ago yesterday with fine 6
O'Clock dinner, at which more than a
hundred of the leading citizens of
Waycross registered Since that
time the hotel has been getting from
so to 80 per cent of the transient bus
mess of Waycross, almost from the
very first starting off with large pat
ronage. Mr. Wooten is much pleased
with his success thus far When the
new hotel gets to running smoothly
he will arrange to divide his time be-
tween Waycross and Americus.

RISKS LIFE ON A
FRAIL LADDER
Painter of Water Tower
Warned by Mayor.

Though warned by Mayor Haw-
kins to get better ladder, the man
engaged in painting the city water
tower stated yesterday that he ex-
pected to use the same support when
he gets to work on the outside again.
Yesterday he built ladder for work
inside the tower, which was Of a
more substantial nature than the one
on which he toyed with fate and tho
laws of gravity during the morning
This ladder appeared to be a some
what hastily constructed affair, the
side strips being an inch thick,
with the rounds at wide intervals.
nailed to the side pieces. The mater
ial was of pine.
On such a structure the painter
proposes to suspend himself some 1870
feet above the ground, while he
carries on his work of painting the
outside of the water tower.
While Mayor Hawkins did not
assert that the city would be liable
as a result of any accident which
might befall this daring painter, he
did not care to have any fatalities
connected with the city work.
When advised by Mayor Hawkins
to get a better ladder, the painter
was inclined to the belief that che
knew his business" Later when IN
was seen to be engaged in building
another ladder, it was taken for
granted that it was to replace the
frail support which has been criti-
cised, but this the painter denied.
Numerous warnings have been Civ
en- the painter of the danger to
which he is exposed on such
shaky ladder, but the man does not
seem to be alarmed and is inclined
to be a little sore" on inquiries as
to his intentions.
Should one of the nails pull out
of the porous pine strips, there
would be nothing to catch the painter
except the earth, which is one hun
dred feet below the bottom of the wa
terpipe. 1t would not take a prophet
to- tell what would happen at the
point of collision in case the man
fell
1t is not known just what steps
will be taken if the painter at
tempts to use the condemned ladder
today. 1t would be manifestedly inn
possible to send a policeman after
him. for one life would be enough to
risk in such a manner If the pain
ter came down by the gravity shute,
it would be impossible, not to say
cruel, to further punish him. If he
comes down unscathed, the danger
would be over
While under ordinary circumstan-
ces a man might be permitted to
climb around in reckless manner,
the city does not care to have fun
eral on its hands.
The painter is from Dawson. and
his name is Holt. He is painting by
contract.
