MACARTHUR WAS HURT
IN OVFRTURN OF GAR
Shoulder Broken and Other
wise Hurt.

Mr.. j. o. Macarthur lies at his home
on Lee street with a fractured right
shoulder bone and otherwise bruised
as the result of the capsizing of a
car in which, with party of friends
he was returning here Thursday
night from the ballgame at Albany.
The accident occurred at Lamar and
Hampton street, and within fifty yards
of the garage where they had expect
ed to stop.
Two or three others Of the party
were bruised in the oyerturning of
the car, though but slightly.
At the point where the accident oc-
CURED the street department had dug
an opening for a sewer across Lamar
street on Thursday, but upon leaving
at sunset Supt. Smith had placed four
red lanterns as danger signals about
the opening.
The driver Of the car evidently did
not heed the warning, if he saw the
signals, but drove the machine over
the pyramid of red dirt alongside the
ditch, into which it plunged with it's
five occupants
The escape of all of them from
serious injury was remarkable.
Mr.. Macarthur was the most severe
ly injured, sustaining a broken shoul-
der, as stated. His face and one
limb were injured as we'll
Mr.. Macarthur is a great sufferer
from rheumatism, and this added af-
Fiction is going quite hard with him

City Able to Put in Plant

You feel satisfied, then, that the
city is financially able to go ahead
and put in the plant and not subject
itself to debt and not let its depart
ments go without proper attention."
Certainly l do. l thought that had
been conclusively shown to the court.
1t is true that we do not have much
money until fall or early winter, but
by vigorous collection of the money
due the city, by careful administra-
tion of it's departments and the hold
ing down of expenses wherever prac
ticable, | unquestionable believe we
can go ahead and arrange for the
plant. If we are not able to pay for it
entirely in one year we can at least
put up the building and buy part of
the plant one year and the next year,
out of the regular city funds, com
plete it. We can contract for just
as much of the plant as we find we
are able to pay for out of the cur
rent funds. Judge Littlejohns decis-
ion gives us that right unquestion-
ably.
Il and those associated with me in
this movement, will never stop until
the city has it's plant in operation
Now is the time for us to get munich
pal ownership. The longer we put it
off the harder it will be to get it and
the more costly it will prove to us.
Once we give these people contracts
they will entrench themselves in a
position to fight desperately for what
they will consider their vested rights
The time for the people to act is right
now, to get control of the lighting Of
the city and retain absolute control of
the water supply. This will remove
bone of contention that has existed
here for many years and will enable
our people TO get together to work
for the upbuiiding of the city as it
should be worked for. We will never
have harmony in Americus as long
as there is private ownership of any
of the public utilities. That is the
general experience and from one end
of the country to theother the citizens
are arousing themselves to throw off
their subsection to private ownership
of public necessities of this charac-
ter"

of the California Fig Syrup Co, and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
AS there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one todecline limitations or to return them

of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

City Has Nothing to Appeal

see that the attorneys Tor the
lighting company express themselves
as highly pleased with the decision
of the court. They could not be more
highly pleased than the representa-
tives of the people are who are fight
ing for municipal control of munich
pal utilities. The city has nothing to
appeal from in Judge Littlejohn's de-
cisiOn. 1t covers the case, it lays
down the law for us, and it removes
any doubt as to our legal right to
go ahead and put in the plant we have
been contending for. The exceptions
the Judge makes do not affect the
situation. We had laid our plans, as
we pointed out in the hearing, to
meet these yely exceptions. We pro-
pose to continue the city government
at propeg standard while the light
ing plant is being put up, and we
propose mot to run into debt by put
ting up the plant. That covers the
exceptions laid down by Judge Little
fGohn
''It is true that just at the present
time there is no money in the treas
ury But that is the common condi-
ton at this especial season of the
year. There is a large amount Of
back taxes due the city, though, how
much I am not prepared to say, but a
very considerable amount, some of
it running back, | believe, two, three
or four years. We shall have a state
ment of this and then we will know
exactly where we stand financially.
This is an asset that is worth one
hundred cents on the dollar, these
taxes being a lien on the property on
which it has been levied and not
collected I think when a statement
is obtained it will be seen that the
city's financial condition is far from
being desperate, and that by careful
management we can lay plans that
will permit of our getting the plant
and not putting ourselves in contempt
of court"

LIGHTING PLANT
WILL BE PUT IN
SAYS Chairman Allen of
That Committee
City Can Handle Matter
Under Recent Decis-
ion of Court.

I'VE are very well pleased with
the opinion of Judge Littlejohn," said
Chairman Allen, of the lighting COM
mfttee yesterday, in discussing NUM-
cipal plant affairs. 1T simply sus-
tanned our right to put in a plant,
subject to two conditions, the proper
maintenance of the city government
and an avoidance of debt beyond the
city's ability to meet it during the
current year. That is the very thing
we proposed to do, and now that the
court has fully sustained our right
to erect a plant, to be owned and
managed by the city, we will proceed
to make our arrangements to put such
plant in. Americus is going to
have an up-to-date street lighting
plant, that will give it proper illum-
inatiOn for it's highways, and that
will be conducted in connection with
its water works at a saving to the
taxpayers.

Where Alderman Allen Stands

Alderman Allen is said to have eX-
pressed himself as ayerse to staying
in office merely for the sake of being
an alderman, but it is understood that
if the municipal lighting plan needs
his continued presence in Council he
will make the race for reelection on
that platform, pledging himself to
leave no stone unturned until the city
has its own lighting plant.
eff the city has a plant we'll under
way and it is apparent that the plan
is a go, Mr. Allen will hardly aspire
for second term in Council" said a
friend of the alderman yesterday
but if there is still a war on he
will be in the midst of the battle.
He's not a gutter"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-07-31

way before the present year ex-
pires We realize, of course, that an
effort will be made to elect alder
men at the next city election who will
be against this proposition, but we
do not believe the people will allow
themselves to be lead into such a
trap. We believe that the issue will
be so clear cut that municipal oW-
nership of the city lighting plant
will win overwhelmingly. The peo-
pie are being rapidly educated that
way"
At the next municipal election two
of those who are advocates of a
municipality owned plant may be can
didates for reelection, Alderman AL
len and Rodgers. Alderman Rogers
| it is said by those close to him, is
not at all anxious to continue in
Council. His tastes do not run to
politics and the chickering's of public
office, and it is not improbable that
he would prefer to drop out of public
place. 1t is not improbable, though
that strong pressure would be brought
to bear upon him by the advocates OF
municipal ownership to make fight
| for a second term.
