FINE AUDIENCE is PLEASED
WITH "LION AND THE MOUSE
The Best Attraction in Americas This
Season.

OF the half dozen really fine theat-
rical attractions in Americas this sea-
son none other so thoroughly delight
ed an appreciative audience as did
''The Lion and the Mouse" last even
ing. So much has been written and
said of the play that expectation was
at the highest, and not one in the
splendid audience expressed disap-
pointment. All interest centers about
two characters-John Burkett Ryder,
known to the public as Ready Money
Ryder, and Shirley Rossmore, the
daughter of Judge Rossmore, whom
Ryder has determined to disgrace and
make penniless, because of the fact
that the judge has rendered decisions
in cases that were adverse to the in
terests of the great money king. The
story essays portrayal of the work
ings of financial and political affairs.
Walter Edwards interprets the role of
the money baron perfectly, while rs
Shirley Rossmore, Miss Carolyn FL
berts won the sympathy and plaudits
of the audience from the very begin
ming. All the strong parts are in ca
pable hands, and the play most de-
lightful and entertaining one.

WILLIS RUTLAND OUT

Beasley.

Mr.. Willis c. Rutland, now of Lees

day, greeting his many Americas
friends.
Mr.. Rutland is native of Lee

Americas and has many friends here
who will follow his race for legisla-
tive honors with much interest.
Opposed to Mr. Rutland is Mr. E.
B. Martin, ST., one of the old war
horse politicians of Lee county, who
has held numerous offices in that
county. Both candidates are making
hot contest. Mr.. Rutland is appeal
ing to the young, progressive element
of the county for their votes and it is
said he is making excellent Roadway
in the fight now on.
The election will be held about the
middle of December. That will give
plenty of time for campaigning. There
are probably 450 registered white 70

emily not going to be his fault

DESPITE THE CROWD.
Americas Young Men Determined to
Have Room.

Two well known Americas auto
mates returning from the Atlanta
jamfest are still ill from seasickness,
the result ofan unsteady room oc-
cupied while there. Upon going to
their hotel late at night, or rather
early in the morning, they were in
formed by the clerk that everything
was full" not meaning themselves,
of course. The cotted parlors at IS
per cot, the Railways, lavatory, base
ment, roof, barber shop, dining room
everything was cot-jammed and oc-
cupied. In looking about sleepily and
disconsolately, they found the elevator
unoccupied by sleepers. Could they
get the elevator, they asked the clerk.
Cert, gents, at S. each" replied the
Atlanta Spirit, as in manner wholly
Atlantaesque he grabbed the proffered
ten-spot And in the moving elevator
the Americas pair slept, through
about forty miles of ups and downs,
but they were charged nothing extra
for riding, the Modern Shylock over
looking that part of the bill as the
two tourists paid for their face bath

AMERICUS CARS SPEEDED TO
ATLANTA IN SEVEN HOURS
Record Easily Beats That of Central
Railway Trains.

Americas to Atlanta, nearly 200
miles by good roads," was the re-
markedly fine running record made
by two Americas cars, those of Mr..
Crawford Wheatley and Mr.. Charles
B. Burke, this week. They were not
contestants in the endurance race"
though their running time surpassed
that of the other cars thus contesting.
Mr.. Burke drove his own Maxwell
touring car, while Mr. Wheatley was
at the wheel of his speedy Stephens
Duryea. They left Americas alongside
and finished the run to Atlanta almost
neck and neck, and in seven hours
exactly. Considering the long run,
and the condition of the roads in some
sections, the record scored by these
Americas cars is an excellent one, ex-
ceiling that of the fastest Central
Railway train operated between
Americas and Atlanta. In fact, on
the Atlanta division they passed by
several trains on Tuesday, leaving
them in the dust behind. Mr.. Burke
returned here yesterday, while Mr..
Wheatley comes home tomorrow

whether the street had been opened
or whether it was expected that the

Mayor Fielder and some of the al

as opposed to the acceptance of the

on either side OF it, and that it was
not the business of the city to do the
work.

sent it to the city as a highway ready
for public use.
