HUMAN HEARTS"
TOMORROW NIGHT
Well Known Play Under
Same Management.

Human Hearts," one of the stand
bys of the American stage, will be
seen at the opera house tomorrow
night. The play is we'll known in
Americus and is always greeted by
a large audience. The same mana
ger who has been in charge of the
production for the past several
years is with the company, which in
sures that the actors measure up to
the performance Of the past.
The plot is simple one, being
laid in the hills of Arkansas. Ev-
erything has its purpose and fur
theirs the main intention of an all
absorbing story of love, hate, injus-
tice and retribution The play en-
cages the sympathies for the suffer-
ings visited on a family of plain, hon
est people, through the unfortunate
marriage of the hero with an adven-
turess whom he thought to reform,
but failed, the temptation of the old
life proving too strong for her The
dark side of this powerful story is
well-balanced by humor adroitly in
troduced and made a necessary ele-
ment of the action.

NO TENTS IN AMERICUS,
CODY Is GIVEN us
SmithviIIe and EIIaviIIe in
the Swim.

Americus is forced to take off her
Merry Widow to her little neighbors,
Smithville and Ellaville, those en-
broyo metropolitan burgs, or rather
villes, having the lead on us from
the standpoint of tented attractions.
I'm Arizona" a west aggregation with
cowboys, cowgirls and all the other
glorous features of a tented tri-
umph, actually passed by Americus
yesterday to show at Smithville. And
Ellaville goes Smithditto one better
by capturing a real live circus-the
first one, probably, that ever car
ried the behomoth and guyascutus to
the sacred precincts of that village.
1t is a little circus, it is true; one
of the old style wagon shows that re-
fuses to add to corporate greed by
patronizing the railroads, but there
is a tent, peanuts and red lemon
ade. and Americus gets none of eth
er. Ellaville did not banker for the
circus altogether, and report has it
that efforts were made in some quar-
ters to cut it out, but without avail,
and the elephant is already happy
on the way to test the peanuts of old
Schley and the day will be glor-
ious one in the erstwhile quiet town.

BUSINESS is GOING TO
BE BETTER HE THINKS
Conditions Up North Are
Improving.

Mr.. T. E. Mitchell returned to
Americus yesterday after spending
six weeks in New England with his
family, who are visiting relatives
there and will return here later. Mr..
Mitchell says that business and trade
conditions are fast improving, and
that the New Englanders look for
ward to an era of prosperity next
year. In Lowell, where he spent
the greater part of his visit, there
were 10000 cotton mill operators out
of employment. The mills, he said,
were stocked with cotton and every
thing awaited the result of the late
Presidential election This ended, the
mills have sinced resumed opera
tions, and all of the idle employees
are at their looms and spindles
again. The same is true of other
manufacturing centers Mr.. Mitchell
says, where conditions are rapidly
growing better.

Inquiry was made in the commune

the road could be built into Ameri.

ISSUE is EASILY SOLD
AND AT GOOD PRICES
Cities Gan Sell Bonds If
They Try.

Does Americus expect. ever. TO sell
the issue of $4,000 of improvement
bonds, voted by the tax payers a
year and a half ago, or is it the
purpose to keep the bonds as SOU
Venirs and curios to attest to future
generations what we might have
done with just a little more enter
prise
Americas needs the improvements
Tor which the bonds were issued, and
citizens surely expected their sale
and the application of the proceeds
to the ends intended.
But no steps have ever been taken
by the city council to sell the bonds
and make the improvements.
Americus has a comparatively
small bonded Indebtedness at pres
ent; the total being far below the
limit allowed by law, and there has
never been valid reason why the
issue voted more than a year ago
for Improvement should thus be with
held.
The only suggestion is that the
aundreds of tax payers who voted
for the bond issue-the vote being
practically unanimous-did not know
what they wanted.
In the meantime other cities are
issuing bonds, selling the securities
at par and above, and making need
ed public improvements.
Athens, for instance, has just sold
$4,000 of improvement bonds and
will get to work, as the following
telegram would indicate.
The $4,000 of sewer bonds and the
$4,000 of waterworks bonds were
sold to James White at par, with
accrued interest. The city will de-
liver these bonds at once, and the
work of improving the waterworks
plant and extending the sewer lines
will go forward"
The money is to be used in i'm
proving the waterworks."
Americus needs to improve its wa
terworks, it needs better school
facilities, it needs other improvements
that might be had were the wishes
of the people needed.
Columbus, as told in the dispatches
yesterday, has also floated large
bond issue and at a price well above
par, and will begin to utilize the
money in making improvements. Why
cannot Americus do as Columbus and
Athens is doing? Shall we stagnate
while they prosper?
The old threadbare, wornout wolf
cry of panic tight money and
similar rot that Americas has heard
for year is wearisome Let her
officials do something.
