stage with very little of the powder
and makeup usually employed by
actresses to produce the illusion that
they are good looking. Her songs
are rendered in Spanish, but her elo-

most striking.

LIVELY TRADE
IN SCISSORS
With Compliments of Times,
Recorder.

Giving away pairs of handsome ten
sion spring scissors was a frequent
occurrence at the Times Recorder of
flee yesterday. 1t was only necessary
for a subscriber to pay for three
months in advance, $3.50, to get the
scissors absolutely without cost. And
the shears were admired, too. That
tension spring is great. The guaran-
tee of five years given by the manu-
facturers showed the kind of stuff the
cutters are made of. In some in
stances subscribers who were in ar
rears a year, came forward with the
full back dues, and added $3.50 fol
three months longer to get the shears
Every woman will be delighted witt
the patent tension, which is so easy
that child can work it. Drop into
the Times-Recorder Office and take a
look at the shears.

STRONG KICK
BY AMFRICUS
In Case Central Tries to
Break Connection.

If the Central makes a move to
early morning train from Americus by
bringing it into Macon at a later hour,
it will be done over the unanimous
protest of Americus.
The publication in the Times-Re-
corder yesterday morning of the letter
from General Passenger Agent Halle
intimating that the road would make
the change if there were no objections,
was read with interest by the business
men, Without dissenting voice, so
far as heard such a move would be
fought on every hand by the people of
Americus.
This train is the only convenient
train to and from Atlanta. Americus
people have no interests in Macon,
but every day the travel to Atlanta is
more or less heavy. Lawyers, busi-
ness men and those who desire to
make a special purchase, find the
early morning train of the greatest
convenience. To make the trip in a
day, and have four or five hours in
Atlanta, is boon to the travelling
public south of Macon.
AS viewed locally, the idea is pure
and simple scheme on the part of Ma
con to divert trade there by making
the round trip to Atlanta in day inn
possible 1t is of no Importance that
a few hours can be spent in Macon.
No doubt the Board of Trade will
take up this matter, if it is deemed an
impending danger. The railroad Com
mission would surely be appealed to,
in case the road was preparing to
break this Atlanta connection. With
such vigorous opposition, it is not be-
lieved that the Central would insist on
making the change for the sole benefit
of Macon.

HEALTHY TOWN PUTS
DOCTORS TO THE FARM

Boston, Mass, Oct. 24-Although
Boston is noted for its trying clim-
ate, in the little town of Carver, a.
nearby suburb, the two doctors have
been obliged to turn to farming for a
living because of the little demand
for their professional services. Their
rivalry as to who shall have the
greater number of patients has been
changed into desire to outdo each
other in raising big cabbages, getting
the greatest amount of cucumbers out
of the smallest amount of soil, grow
ing corn that will be full-eared and
still sweet Their medical books are
growing dusty, and the village drug
gists says he has not had a prescrip-
ton from them in ages. The people
of the little village are fond of the
two physicians and would like to aid
them in earning a living, "but we
just can't get sick" said one of them
hopelessly.
In a year there have been only
three deaths among the LOO inhabi-
tants. In a year DR. Ellish H. Corn
ish has made only seventeen calls
for sickness, and in that same time
Mr.. George f. Morse has made only
fifteen calls. ~ - ~

CASH IN LIEU
OF BOND
Probably Be
TenderedCitv
Council
By AmeriCuS Railway {
Light Go.

The $4,000 bond which was to be
furnished by the Americus Railway
& Light Co., in accordance with the
resolution of the City Council, has
not come. 1t is understood that the
company will offer a cash deposit
presumably of $5,O0O-in lieu of the
bond. The trouble in securing the
bond has been due, it is stated, to
the very heavy rate which the bonding
company asked for a penalty bond
1t would have been an easy matter to
furnish the usual style of indemnity
bond, but the one required for the
city is penalty bond, which is
quite a different proposition
So it has been decided that it will
be cheaper to put up the $4,000 than
to pay the premiums on $4,000 pen
atty bond The bond must provide a
forfeit of $100 a day for each day
delay in completing every part OF
the contract, including the street
railway by April Is, next. The bond
ing company would assume a heavy
liability in case the company did not
finish the street railway in time.
Before any action could be taken,
the matter of the acceptibility of the
bond would have to be passed on by
the City Council. Before the next
meeting of that body, the cash will be
on hand to tender in lieu of the $751;
000 AS there was an evident desire
on the part of some members of the
Council to get cash up instead of a
bond, it is probable that the change
would be welcomed.
In the meantime the company is
going ahead with its work Two
car loads of poles have arrived and
are being treated with creosote pre-
paratory to putting them up. Mach
inery continues to arrive, and addi-
tional equipment has been ordered for
shipment as soon as the roof is on
the power house The plant will be
equipped with the latest machinery.
A part of it will be especially for use
in connection with the street railway.
President Walker is expected to ar
rive in a day or two with a supply of
cash for the deposit. If this is ac-
ceptable to the city it is believed that
matters will be Strengthened out

the result.
In some states, notably in New York
and Ohio and Indiana, the struggle is
especially sharp, while in the West
Bryan is getting out new edition of
Rooseyelt's book, The Winning of
the West" In fact, the firing line is
long one, and success or failure may
lie concealed at many points. Unex-
pected happenings may play havoc
with the calculations of either party
on the very day of the decision by
the people.
In view of this widespread and
likewise intense interest in the cleo
ton on Nov 3, the Times-Recorder is
preparing to furnish reports of its
progress on that day. During the
day bulletins will be posted on the
Times Recorders boards, and at night
the bulletins will be repeated through
a meagaphone, then posted on the
boards.
Lights will be arranged so that
these bulletins can be easily read.
The telegraph service will cover
the whole country and as fast as It
is received at centers, will be for
warded to Americus.
AS is to be expected, news during
the morning will be light, but in the
afternoon more definite information
will be sent out. AS night draws on,
the counting will be on, and it can be
ascertained with reasonable certainty
how the various states go, unless the
count should be close. By midnight
it is quite probable that the next
President of the United States can
be known in Americus. 1t is already
known that his first name is William.
Four or five more letters will tell
the story
Everybody in Americus is invited
to avail themselves of the Times
Recorder election service. Ladies
will have a place from which they
can hear the returns called out.
Besides a telegraph service, the
Times-Recorder will receive election
news over the long distance tele-
phone at intervals.
November 3rd will be memorable
day. and there will be some readable
election news from the opening of
the polls until the result is known.
The Times-Recorder purposes to tell
abclt it as it happens.
