An appreciative Americus audience

ran for two full years in New York,
and which has been seen by millions
of playgoers. The production has
had an extraordinary success its first

To PRESENT LIST AT
THE NEXT MEETING
Council Will Then Know
Who Owes City Taxes

AT the meeting of Council two weeks
from now there will be presented to
that body complete list of all de-
linquent tax payers.
This is the result Of the effort to
gather in the money due the city,
some OF which runs back, so it IS
stated, two or three or four years
Two or three months ago, on mo-
tion of Alderman Hawkins, the clerk
was directed to prepare a list of de-
linquents for the use of the Finance
Committee, the purpose being to per-
nit the committee to enforce collec-
tion and to begin legal steps against
those who were decidedly in arrears
and unwilling to come across with the
amounts due the municipality.
Last Wednesday night Alderman
Hawkins asked for information as to
what has become of his resolution.
Clerk Hawkins promptly stated
that the Finance Committee had gone
over the list of delinquents as shown
in the city books
Alderman Hawkins then introduced
a resolution calling on the clerk %
prepare and present list of all de-
linquents at the next meeting of the
City Council
This resolution was promptly adop-
ted
1t is not unlikely that there will be
an animated discussion in Council at
its next meeting as a result. Anyway
the members of that body, and pre-
sumably the general public as we'll,
will then be made acquainted with the
extent to which there are taxes in
arrears uncollected and what steps
the city proposes to take to bring
about their payment in the near fu-
ture

SUMTER Is WINNER IN
GOOD DROADS CONTEST.
Prize For Best Roads to
Come Here.
Award Not Made Yet,
But Conceded to Us
BY Other Counties
Contesting.

Sumter. the banner South Georgia
good roads county" as well as ex-
ceiling in all things else, will be
awarded the first prize in the Con-
stitution's endurance run, South Geor-
gia to Atlanta, for the best roads over
which the contesting cars passed in
their triumphal tour
Such was the gratifying Information
received last night in dispatch to the
Times s-Recorder.
The cash price offered for the best
ten-mile stretch of good roads is
$3.50, but the distinction that Sumter
achieves is worth that sum an hun
dredfold
The award has not yet been MADE
officially, but it is generally conceded
in Atlanta, among all the counties thus
contesting, that Sumter has the bunch
lashed to the mast and the prize in
her pocket. Everyone interested has
freely acknowledged Sumters supre-
macy.
Chairman Frank Sheffield of the
board of county commissioners, said
last night that there was no doubt OF
Sumter's standing the best chance
of winning, but the award is not yel
made officially.
Sumter's strongest competitor is
Spalding county, of which Griffin IS
the county seat, but good judges OF
good roads accord Sumter the palm
over Spalding.
The section OF ten miles that viii
thus put Sumter in the fore of all the
hundred counties south of Atlanta is
the beautiful, level stretch between
Americus and the Lee county line
AS a superb highway this bit of good
road cannot be equalled in all Geov-
gia.
The official decision will be made to-
day, and Sumter, as stated. is picked
a winner.

an unknown man who entered the

ran quickly to the Ohio river and
started for the Kentucky side in Il

BIG SHOWER OF STARS
TONIGHT is PREDICTED
Three Nights of Shooting
MeteOrS Promised.

Americus, along with other corners
of the moral vineyard, is promised a
celestial display of staratic fireworks
tonight and during the two nights fol-
lowing, which, for gorgeous magnif-
cence and completeness, will far sur
pass any Fourth of July pyrotechnic
show on record TO date.
A shower of the stars is due TO oc-
cur Saturday and Sunday nights, 13,
Il. a fixture in the celestial schedule
of events
There is a secular change in the
period of this particular display, a
slow movement along the calendar,
but it is only in the progress ofsmany
years that the alteration of the pc
riod amounts to so much as may be
measured by single night
Last years display fixes the date
for this year and for many years %
come.
The November meteors will scarce
ly be at their best this year In fact,
the earth cuts their orbit at perhaps
its most sparsly studded spot. This
shower has a period roughly corre-
spending to the generations of human
life, roughly computed as three to the
century.
The last display was due in 1899,
but was disappointment compared
with former manifestations of this
periodic maximum.
But the 1888 rain of the heavens
was most astounding. The Eastern
seaboard was best situated for OBJ
servation on the night of November
1913. The stars fell as fast as flakes
of snow on winter day Prof. Ohm
stead reckoned that 100000 cleaning
trains were visible in course of nine
hours.
To the ignorant it presaged the
crack of doom, the beginning of the
rolling up of the heavens like a scroll.
There yet live those who saw the
rain of fire and who can describe how
people sought the fields and passed
the night in agony of fear, with pray
er and supplication.

EXPERTS STUDY THE
WINDSOR NEEDS
Mr.. Council Has Building
Gone Over BY Them.

Plans for the improvement of the
Windsor hotel are still under way.
While awaiting their completion Mr..
Lee Council the new owner of that
handsome property, is having minor
and necessary repairs made tothe
structure. inside and out. The roof
is being given the attention its condi-
tion requires, the painters and car
penters are at work, and numerous
small repairs rendered necessary by
former neglect are being attended to
as rapidly as the workmen can go
through the building.
These are but the preliminary steps
to the great actual work of renoya-
ton and improvement that is being
planned. What was necessary first,
as Mr.. Council expressed it, was to
keep the weather out and stop any de-
terioration of the property. That ac-
complished, the greater project of
making the building a fine hotel with
in and without can be attended to.
This week Mr. Council had two ex-
perts here going over the hotel They
were Mr.. Eugene c. Wachendorffe of
Atlanta, successor to the late Willis
F. Denney, with whom he was asso-
ciated i'll the architectural line The
latter was architect of the Methodist
church here and also of the Planters
Bank building. Mr.. Wachendorffe
stands high In his profession and his
advice is of the best obtained. In
company with Mr.. Council he made a
complete study of the interior of the
hotel, examining its condition through
out carefully and making extensive
notes as to contemplated improve
ments of various sorts. He will sub
nit plans and estimates to Mr.. Coun-
Gil in the near future. 1t is under
stood that considerable increase
will be made in the number of rooms
with private baths, and that there will
be additional general bath rooms. The
extent of the improvements in con-
temptation will not be made known
until later
Mr. Singleton, an electrical expert,
was also here this week, going over
that feature of the building with a
view to general revision of the
electrical fixtures. Mr. H. B. Bailey
representing the Otis Elevator Co.,
was also in the city investigating the
elevator question.
Considerable of Mr. Councils spare
time is now taken up in study of
the needs of the hotel property. 1t
is hardly probable that any work ex-
cept that actually necessary will be-
gin for several weeks, as it is in
tended tohave every condition care
fully studied before definite plans are
adopted and bids called for When
ever the contracts are made, though,
it will be conditioned that the work is
to be done not only we'll, but rapidly,
so that there will be as brief annoy
ance to the hotel guests as possible
Mr.. Council was not prepared yes
terday to discuss the matter of MAX
ing an endeavor to secure tourist
rates for Americus. Il will only say"
said he, that the Windsor hotel will
be prepared to satisfy tourists if they
come this way. l recognize the i'm
portant part a hotel plays in the
building up of a city and hope to
make the Windsor an instrument for
the future development of Americus."
