SCHOOL TO CLOSE UP
TOMORROW FOR XMAS
Hundreds of Pupils Here
Go Free.

All the Americus public schools and
the Third District Agricultural Col.
lege will close tomorrow for the
Christmas holidays and a thousand
happy pupils, care free for weeks
will go tripping back home again.
The Agricultural College will turn
loose its hundred pupils, and while a
few may remain at the dormitory the
major portion of them will go home.
Many of the students reside IN
counties nearly a hundred miles
away, and these may prefer to stay
here rather than make the long trip.
This is not known, however, and all
of them may go home.
This session in the agricultural col
lege has been highly successful one,
and the Americus school is ahead of
any of the eleven district colleges es-
tablished in the state.
The college will give a holiday of
two weeks.
The Americus public schools will
have three or four weeks, resuming
some time early in January The
session has not been unusually try
ing, yet the need of more extended
holiday than ever before was recog-
nized
Furlow, Reese Park and Mckay
Hill schools will all close at noon to-
morrow.

CASE COMES TO FINISH
HALL is EXONERATED
1ria, in Lee Court of
Interest.

The proceedings instituted against
County Treasurer Hall, of Lee coun-
ty, to declare his Office vacant, has
just reached conclusion at a spec
ial session of Lee court held this
week and resulted in the exoneration
of Mr.. Hall. The proceedings were
not of criminal nature at all, the
only charge being that of alleged
carelessness in methods of book
keeping extending back over a period
of some length. Mr. Hall has been
treasurer of Lee county for several
years and at the recent election was
again thus honored for another term
in the face of the proceedings insti-
tuted. Judge Y. A. Littlejohn called
special term of the court, which
convened on Monday last with Judge
Gilbert of Columbus presiding. Treas
urer Hall was represented by Long &
Son and j. W. Walters, while Shipp &
Sheppard appeared for the other side.
The verdict of the jury, after hearing
evidence and argument, was as above
stated Mr.. Hall not only retains the
office of county treasurer, but enters
upon a new term in January.

ELELTION OF CHIEF IS
SOON TO TAKE PLACE
Vacancy Will Not Occur
Until January.

1t will probably be January 1st ere
Americus' new chief of police is sell
ected by the board of police COM
missioners. Interest therein has
been manifested since the election
of Police Chief Feagin to the sheriff's
office, and while it is generally be-
lieved that Lieut. Barrow will sue
ceed to the vacancy the commission
ers have given no intimation of their
action in the premises. Lieut.. Bar
row has been upon the police force
a long number of years which fact,
coupled with his experience as an
officer, would lead to the conclusion
that promotion would be given him
now. AS Chief Feagin's term of Of
fee does not expire for year and
a half yet, there is no vacancy in
the chiefs Office until he tenders
his resignation January 1st to enter
upon his new duties as sheriff

PETITION is SIGNED IN
A PARDON FOR GREEN

John Green, an Americus negro
who for twenty years has existed in
that living hell, the Georgia peniten-
tiary, may be pardoned shortly if a
petition to that effect, signed by
court officials and hundreds of citi-
zens, is of any avail John Green was
sent to the American Siberia twenty
years ago, along with Boley Daniels,
another negro, as accessories in the
murder of another crap shooter. The
real murderer, it is said, escaped,
while Green and Daniels were sent
up for life. Daniels has been pardon
ed long ago, and now like clemency
is asked for the other man who has
passed through twenty years of hor-
ror in the Georgia pen-enough, no
doubt, to have atoned for half
dozen crimes of the kind charged.
Mr.. James Taylor is working to Sc
cure the pardon desired.

DR.. BURROUGHS TO
BE HERE DEC. II.
Will Fill Pulpit of First
Baptist That Day.

Rev. Lansing Burroughs, of Nash
vile, who has been called by the
First Baptist church. will be in
Americus on Saturday, Dec. 26th and
will fill the pulpit of the church the
following day. He is coming to talk
over the matter with the officers oil
the church and to look over the sit
uation generally, it is supposed.
This information was given in a
letter received by Mr.. C. c. Hawkins
in reply to the notice of the call as
pastor. Dr. Borroughs will visit rel
atives in Thomasville during the hol-
idays and will stop at Americus on
his return.
While nothing definite was said as
to the acceptance of the call, the
fact that Dr. Burroughs will visit
Americus is taken as an indication
that he is giving the proposition SER
ious attention. To see Americus and
talk with the city's hospitable people
is certain to make a favorable inn
preston on the visitor, and will
surely increase his desire to be-
come part of such community

DAYS OF GRACE FOR
TAX TIME ARE BRIEF
Next Monday is the Final
Limit.

Americus taxpayers and those in
the county as well are warned that
Monday next 21st, is the final limit
for paying state and county taxes.
After that date the books are closed
and tax executions issued. While Col
lector /. B, Small has receipted many
here for their taxes the number is
small in comparison to those who
have lodged the issue and deferred
the sad hour of cash separation The
county and state tax this year is $14
on each $1,000 of property-a pretty
steep rate. Fulton county pays only
$11, but then Americus is not as large
and wealthy as Atlanta-yet. 1t is
expected that the rush on the office
will be greatest toward the latter part
of the week, and for this reason Mr..
Small urges that taxpayers hurry up
and avoid the rush at the last mo-
ment. Property subject to state and
county tax includes all real estate in
the city and in the county, as well as
personal property.

IN THE CITY ELECTION
One Fourth of Registered
Vote Cast.

The regular city election yester-
day. confirming the action of the re-
cent primary. was entirely divested
of exciting features. In fact, the
election created little interest as
evidenced by the exceedingly light
vote cast, only 81 of the 215 regis
tered voters going to the polls. The
nominees of the primary, Mayor-elect
Fielder and Aldermen-elect Poole.
Hawkins and Clark received practi-
cally, the whole vote cast, as did

mayor, aldermen and clerk will be
inducted into office one week hence,
and upon being sworn in will at
once assume the reins of municipal
government Thus, one week from

THE DEVIL" SEEN AT
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT
theatrical Sensation of
Season Here.

Tonight at the opera house will be
presented The Devil" the great
theatrical sensation of the season.
Sale of seats began yesterday tits
expected that the advance sale will
be very heavy, as the play is the
most widely discussed on the stage
today. This is the original produc-
ton, the only authorized version. It
is presented here with the very same
lines as in New York, where it is
running now
It is a great opportunity for Am
ericus theater goers to enjoy the
play of the hour while it is fresh,
instead of having to wait for two
or three seasons before getting a
sight of the success of the metrop-
oils, as has always been the case
heretofore.
The play deals with the evils of so
ciety generally, the chief character
being a we'll known being frequently
referred to but rarely personified. His
satanic majesty has been metamor-
phosed from his pictures, of horns
and cloven hoof, which are not alto
gether attractive, into polished man
of the world He is thus enabled to
get into good society, which other
wise might take exception to the
style of his garments and the SAVIOR
of birthstone.
1t is claimed for the play that it
teaches a great moral lesson. The
novelty of the conception has a fas-
cination which has undoubtedly con-
tributed much to the popularity of
the play.
Anyhow, Americas has a great
chance to see the reigning theatrical
success of the season. Its merits and
demerits will no doubt be critically
considered by those who see the
play 1t is suggested by the man
agement that those have not already
purchased tickets do not delay, as
the good seats will no doubt be
practically taken by the close of to-
days sale.

TO ANNOUNCE ROUTE
IN TWO WEEKS
Plans Laid for the New
Street Railway.

.Ihe representative of the H. Johns
Manyille Company, of New York. ell
ectrlcal supplies dealers, is in the
city IN conference with the officials of
the Americus Railway and Light
Company relative to the overhead
trolley part of the railway system
that is to be put in here. In a few
days the representative of the Brills
Car Company is expected here when
the plans for the rolling stock of
the line will be considered and de-.
termlned. These are preliminary
steps to the actual construction of the
line, plans for which are being stead
lily prosecuted. Inside of two weeks
the entire route determined upon will
be announced to the public, so that
the people will know exactly on what
street the cars will run. 1t is the ef-
fort of the officials to so lay the route
as to serve the greatest number of
people possible and at the same time
assist in the development of the
city's home section.
The power house, it is expected.
will be entirely finished and in read
mess for operation by February Is.
The company will then begin to put
in new electric lights to replace the
old ones that have been doing SER
vice here so many years. The new
magnetic street lamps will give
about double the Illuminating power
of the present ones, and there will be
seventyfive of them instead of 50 of
the old ones. The city will, as a re-
suit, be much more satisfactorily il.
Illuminated than it has ever been. The
company will also then probably be
in readiness to give the day current
to citizens desiring to utilize it, and
to furnish power for manufacturing
purposes at rates that will enable the
use of electricity in manufacturing es-
tablishments.. 1t is probable that
electric motors will soon be installed
in number of plants now using
steam or gasoline engines. The ad-
vantage of electricity as a power is
so great that it will take but a short
time to relegate other power to the
dump heap.
Within ten days it is proposed to
resume the placing of the poles for
the street railway. The last lot of
poles received were all refused on
account of failure to come up to the
standard as to height and straight
ness 1t is hoped to continue placing
poles along the streets without any
Interruptions once the work is resum
ed. The putting down of ties will be-
gin in February Twelve thous-
and ties will be used and bids are
being received from half dozen par
ties. The rails will be silky pound
steel. The cars will be of the latest
pattern, so that the entire railway
will be, when completed, model
of a small system.
Every effort will be made to have
the street railway in operation, Pres
ident Walker states, by not later than
the middle of May. Unless there are
delays on the part Of the contracting
concern there is no apparent reason
why the early summer should not
find the people of Americus enjoying
their daily rides on the electric cars.
