HOLIDAY TO BEGIN
THIS EVENING AT SUNSET
Hebrews of AmericuS Will Observe
ROSh HOShannah.

The Feast of Rosh Hoshannah be-
gins this evening at o'clock and
continues through the 10th and 18th,
which are the I'd and Sd of the month
Tishri of the Jewish calendar. The
ritual for the New Years service is
the most beautiful in the Jewish
prayer book.
The two days of the Feast of Rosh
Hoshannah are given up to reflection.
Through these days and the Peniten-
tial period which does not end until
Yom Kippur, there is a special fea-
ture of the services each day.
Rosh Hoshannah ends on the third
day of the month of Tishri, September
IS, with the Fast of Guedaliah. Be
cause the date falls on the Jewish Sab
bath this year, the following day will
be observed instead. The fast begins
Saturday evening.
The Penitential Days end on the
tenth day of Tishri, which is the 25th
Of September. That is Yom Kippur
the Day of Atonement. The entire
period is generally observed with spe-
cial prayers of supplication.

ADVANCE SALE OF SEATS
FOR "WOLF" ON THRSDAY
Indicates Large Audience on Open.

The advance sale of seats yesterday
for the presentation of THE Wolf on
Thursday night as the opening at
traction at the opera house assures
large and appreciative audience,
such as this splendid company at
tracts upon all occasions.
"The Wolf was presented in Sa-
vannah few nights ago, and of the
fine production there the Savannah
News makes the following mention
Eugene Walters virile melodrama,
The Wolf was presented to most
appreciative audience at the Savan-
nah theatre last night. The produc-
tion was seen in Savannah last sea-
son with the same star, Andrew Rob-
son.
The Wolf is truly a splendid play
magnifcently staged. And with the
role of Jules Beaubien, the young
French Canadian, in the hands of an
actor as capable as Mr. Robson il
cannot but be enjoyable
His is finished portrayal of a
difficult character. He is painstakins
and natural, measuring up to tht
mark in every scene. 1t was Ger
tainly refreshing to see Mr.. Robson
in The Wolf after the experience Of
the night before

JOY RIDERS REACH ATLANTA
DIRECT FROM AMERICUS.
SchOOlbOys Made Auto Trip in Nine
Hours.

Americus to Atlanta direct, in nine
hours, aboard Maxwell touring car
is the excellent record made last Sun
day by Hollis and Henry Lanier, the
young sons of Col. Frank Lanier--a
run almost equal to the schedule OF
Central Railway train over the
same course.
From Americus to Atlanta, ia
miles by Central Railway, the sched-
ule is seven and half hours; rather
slow. but the schedule.
And the automobile has it skinned
to standstill
The Lanier boys, with three young
companions, left Americus at 4:30
o'clock Sunday morning aboard their
car, en- route to Stone Mountain In
stitute, beyond Atlanta. The auto
party reached Atlanta at 4 p. m
sharp-only nine and half hours be-
tween the two cities.
The trip was made over good
roads-most of the distance, and
demonstrates the use to which the au-
tomobile may be put as a slow train
beater.

PARTY OF TOURISTS in
TRIP TO AMERICUS
Find Roads of Sumter in
Good Trim.

At the Hotel Windsor yesterday
morning we're Mr.. and Mrs. j. J.
Bird of Cuthbert, who made the trip
of fifty miles here aboard their tour
ing car very pleasantly, and for no
other purpose than to see the good
roads of Sumter of which, as Mr
Bird stated to a friend here, he had
heard so much.
And it is needless to state that Mr..
Bird was delighted with the twelve
mile stretch over which he speeded
from Smithville to Americus, the fin
est portion of the trip.
For no other road in South Georgia
surpasses this one.
Mr. Birds auto party was but one
of three in Americus yesterday, one
party coming here from Atlanta, while
another made the long trip from Pen
sacola, Fla
1t canont be denied that Sumter's
good roads bring many people here,
auto parties and others, who never
came before. A trip from Atlanta
here is of daily occurrence, while
quite frequently automobile parties
come here from Bainbridge and other
South Georgia towns.
But the splendid highways are used
for traffic as we'll as pleasure; cot
ton wagons instead of autos.
Have you noted the cotton wagons
here recently from neighboring coun-
ties-many here for the first time in
years? Perhaps not few of them
are making their first trips, ever, to
Americus to market their cotton.
Why have they not been here be-
fore in years past, when Sumters
roads were two streaks of ruts 10
the county line? They come now to
sell their cotton in the best interior
market in Georgia; a market reached
over the best roads that traverse any
South Georgia county.
Good roads are the finest advertise
ment for any city and county, and
Americus and Sumter are becoming
more convinced of this great truth
every day.

NO DOUBT OF THE PLACE
WHEN TALK Is HEARD.
AmeTicus Mans vivid Dream of the
Hereafter.

A Lee street citizen related to a
group of interested friends yesterday
morning a dream he had the night be-
fore, and a most narrowing one it
proved.
For in his dream the Lee streeter
passed to the beyond
While wondering at the strange
surroundings he heard babel OF
voices in hot argument in the next
block.
What noise is that ] hear?p he
asked of his Satanic Majesty.
"Oh, that's nothing" Was-the reply
of his S. NJ Merely a crowd 7et
Americus people who came yesterday
wrangling about an electric light con
tract"
"Then this is hell replied the
newcomer, as he sat up and looked al
the fireworks.

CHANGED ITS VOTE
THIS TIME IA TO IL
And SO Expunged ResOlu-
tiOn Adopted by l6 TO IA

At the last monthly meeting of the
Board of Trade resolutions were
adopted pledging its moral support to
the promoters of the new lighting
company provided it carried out its
expressed intention of giving the city
high-grade lights and otherwise put
ting into effect other features of the
contract. The vote then was 16 to
IA. Last night when the confirmation
of the minutes came up this resolution
was expunged by vote of ii to u.
The debate was not long, neither was
it especially acrimonious, and after
it was closed there was not the slight
est further reference to it, the Board
proceeding quite cheerfully to the dis
cussion of good roads and other mat
ters that appealed directly to the in
terest of the members present. 1t is
will be heard of city lighting in the
Board, each side to the controversy
now having had an inning, as it were.
After the minutes were read last
night Mr. Arthur Rylander entered an
objection to the confirmation of that
part referred to- He considered that
there was more or less politics in the
resolution in question and held that
the best interests of the Board as a
business organization dictated that it
should not be approved.
w. A. Dodson, Esq, maintained
that there was no politics in the reso-
luton, that the Board of Trade was
quite within its province in adopting
them, and pointing out that on two
or more previous occasions it had
acted relative to the lighting con-
tract. 1t was matter of great i'm
portance to the city and he insisted
that the Board had a right to act as
it had done at the previous meeting
He held that there was something
personal in the attempt to expunge
the resolution.
Mr.. Rylander emphatically denied
this. Mr. Dodson stated that he did
not mean so far as Mr. Rylander was
concerned, but that others behind the
expungipg movement had personal
motives guiding them.
Col. j. E. Sheppard called for the
previous question. He held that to
prolong the discussion would only
result in i'll feeling and change no
votes. Frank Hooper, Esq, and Mr..
Lee Allen entered briefly into the dis
cussion, and when the vote was called
it resulted, as stated, in the decision
to expunge that part of the minutes
of the previous meeting.
The matter was then laid aside and
the Board, with apparently everybody
in good spirits, took up questions of
more general nature. There had
been some expectations of a lively |
meeting. but the little discussion was
pulled off, without any display of |
feeling.

COTTON Is DUMPED AT
LIMITS OF THE CITY
Mules Can't Pull Loads in
AmeriCuS Streets,

Any comparison between the streets
OF Americus and the county roads o1
Sumter reflects terribly upon the
city streets, many of them a mere
stretch of bumps, holes and ruts thai
threaten destruction to vehicles. All
are not of this description, exactly
but there are some.
And among the '"rockiest'' of these
alleged city streets is the cow path
or continuation of Church street, tc
Muckalee bridge and the hill just be-
yond
Any team getting over this without
being wrecked gets medal.
But the most severe reflection vel
made upon this reputed street is the
fact that some farmers coming tc
Americus with cotton are compelled
to unload their wagons near the Cen
tral Railway crossings and then have
Warehousemen send drays to haul ii
to town.
This, it is said, has been an actual
occurrence.
And if any severer arraignment of
a city street service can be devised
it has never yet been brought to pub
lie attention
The idea of compelling farmers to
unload cotton wagons within the city
limits, and have warehouses to send

be made as good as one of the county
