"THE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE"
ACHIEVED FINE SUCCESS

The dramatic attraction at the oper
house this week is Henry Miller's sue
cess, 'The Servant in the House," for
Wednesday evening next, the Gath.
This play was produced in New York
and ran through the spring and sum-
mer, playing to crowded houses des-
pite the intense heat. Since then it
has been presented in Chicago, Boston
and other large cities, and has been
unanimously proclaimed by critics the
most important contribution to the
stage. The central character of the
play is a mysterious Hindoo whom
many critics call reincarnation Of
Christ. The play is, however, entirely
modern. It's scenes are laid in Eng
land and the events of the famous
story are supposed to have occurred
during single morning in spring.

WILL NOT RfPUDIATE
A DEBT OF HONOR.
AmeriCuS Will Support the
Library.
Cannot Now Refuse Sum
Promised Carnegie
When Building
Was Erected.

This is the question that is before
the people of Americus today: 'sDc
you believe that a public library will
help or hinder the growth Of a town.
If you are friend to the library, now
Is the time to show it. Talk about it
and tell your friends what library
means in the life of a community
What it has done for other places, it
can do for Americus, provided the
people are willing to support it.
Many say that the town is already
overburdened with financial obliga-
tions. Have you found out how much
each person will have to pay in a town
of 10000 inhabitants that $4,000 may
be given annually to the support of
the library? This is certainly not bur-
densome.
Albany has supported a public libra
ry for several years. Cannot Ameri-
Gus do as much? Shall we say that
Americus is less progressive than the
fifteen other Georgia cities that are
already supporting Libraries?
If we refuse to give to such an in
stitution, we shall be branded among
the cities. We would exhibit to the
world lamentable lack of progress
siveness and civic pride. Shall we
wait fifteen or twenty years to allow
other towns to claim the first fruits
while we sit in in dull passivity, con-
tent to see others on the forward
march?
1t is true that in repudiating this
debt, we are unjust to Mr.. Carnegie
with whom we made a contract legal
and binding, to give $4,000 every year.
to the library But he is not the one
most affected. It is Americus that
must suffer from the consequences Of
this act. We are pronouncing our own
sentence in this deed.
Shall it be said that Americus is SO
immersed in the accumulation Of
wealth that she can look only to one
end? Is it community possessed
by one desire and one purpose, and
that purpose the gaining of money?
These are questions that must come
when one considers the attitude Of
the people through their representa-
tives.

HOTEL TO INSTALL ITS
OWN LIGHTING PLANT.
New Windsor Will Probably
Install Outfit.
Steam Heated Through
out, With Light and
Power Made in
the Building.

The Windsor Hotel, under its new
, ownership. will in all likelihood b.
added to the list of hotels that hav,
their own lighting and power eauip
ment. Mr.. Lee G. Council, the presen
proprietor, is now in communication
with experts and the indications al
point to his adding an electrical PLAN
to the equipment of the hotel prop.
erty.
1t is Mr.. Councils intention that the
hotel shall be of such a character that
the hotel can stand comparison with
the best equipped and best managed
in the South.
The question of heating, lighting
and supplying power for the elevators
is now engaging his attention.
With respect to the heating, it has
practically been decided to remove all
open fire places with the exception of
one in the main lobby, where the fire
places may be left in the event that
tourists prefer them to the steam heat.
But in the vast majority of the
rooms and in the stores connected
with the building, the heat will be
supplied by means of a steam heat
ing plant that will be up-to-date IN
every particularlar.
The running of the elevators, of
which there will be two, one for pas
sengers and one for baggage, etc, and
the lighting of the fifteen stores CT
the building and the hundred rooms
that will be in readiness for use when
the renovation and improvements are
completed, has occupied considerable
Of Mr.. Councils attention. as we'll as
that of the architect who is preparing
for the overhauling of the building.
While they have not yet finally come
to decision the trend of their opin-
ion is undoubtedly strongly in favor
of putting in an independent lighting
and power plant for the building, in
cluding the stores.
+ The steam heating plant will require
the employment of help and the use of
fuel, it is pointed out, that can also
be utilized in the operation of the
electrical equipment.
This will economize the operation
of this plant. Naturally In building
of the size of the Windsor the ex-
pense of lighting is very heavy. Add
ing that of the stores In the building
to this it is claimed that it will be
economical to have private plant in
stalled in the building.
From this plant, too, it is pointed
out, lights can be furnished to the
Planters Bank building, with It's nu-
merous offices, through a conduit.
With its own lighting and power
plant in operation the effect would be,
it is intimated, a much more liberal
use of lights In the hotel, giving its
Hobbies and parlors and other public
rooms a brighter appearance and
adding to the comfort and enjoyment
Of the guests.
The outlook points very strongly 10
such an equipment in favor Of it and
he is intent on making complete job
of the improvements it Is quite likely
that experts will be sent for within
a few days to make plans and furnish
estimates along this line.

COMES FROM CAROLINA FOR
A DAY IN AMERICUS

Mr.. c. J. Clark of the Clark Marble
Works here returned yesterday from
Salisbury, N. c., where he is superin-
tending the erection of the Pennsylva-
MIA state monument in the Federal
cemetery there and costing $4,000
This splendid shaft is nearing compile

Tuesday to remain until the work is
done.

ground floor a complete cold storage
room will be equipped, making it pos
sible for the lessee to carry large
quantities of meats, game, etc, under
the most sanitary conditions.
On the second floor an improvement
that the ladies will appreciate is the
doubling of the size of the writing
room reserved for them. The present
room is small and dark and shuts on
an alcoYe which is of little use. This
alcoye will be thrown into the room,
bringing it directly on line with
Windsor avenue. The whole front of
it may be made of glass, giving it
somewhat the appearance of q sun
room as we'll as a writing room, and
making it cheerful in the extreme.
On this floor there will be nine pri-
vate baths put in in connection with
desirable rooms, and the number Of
public baths will be increased. IN
eight or nine of the rooms, perhaps in
put in running hot and cold water,
with very pretty equipment. This will
be done in every room where condi-
tions permit. Other changes will he
made that will materially improve
many of the rooms.
On the third floor there will be more
rooms with private baths, more rooms
equipped with hot and cold water, and
several rooms will be made desirable
bed rooms that are not now so con-
| sidered. In fact when the work s
completed there will be no waste
room, but every room will have been
prepared for the reception of guests
and made desirable.
While the plans are being worked
out in detail and it will be several
weeks yet before the specifications are
completed and the bids called for
enough can be seen from the forego-
ing to satisfy anyone that after the
| renovations and improvements are
completed and the house return1sheC
there will be no hotel in all this sec.
ton that will excel the Windsor in At
tractiveness and genuine comfort ant
accommodations.
Indeed, outside of the very fines
hotels in the state, there will hardl!
be any that will be its equal.

the husband had six thousand dollars,
lie insurance his widow would have
oeen left penniless. This is not life
insurance advertisement, but it is a
plain recitation of facts coming from
an actual case. Names could be given.
How many millions of the savings
OF the people are licked UP, absorbe,,
or squandered by we'll dressed men
who are selling stocks in so-called
speculative enterprises scattered all
the way from Alaska to Old Mexico?
We do not say that there are not
bonanzas in those countries. But
when bonanzas are discovered it is not
necessary to sell stocks to wage
workers in Iowa. The millions that
annually go from this state from the
pockets of misguided men would en-
rich the state If kept at home Men
who are undertaking to save money
ought to follow the beaten path of
business and invest in nothing but the
best known securities. There are
plenty Of them. Furthermore, the
wage Garner ought not to practice nor
encourage the speculative spirit which
ne denounces in the millionaire of to-
day. He ought to practice what he
breaches when 1t comes to his own
affairs. It Is possible for the wage
Garner, beginning at twenty years and
continuing to fifty, to be comfortably
fixed at the latter age, even if he re-
ceiyes nothing more than four per
cent interest on his savings.
We cite this Iowa example for the
benefit, of some of our readers who
may be, month by month, doing out
their savings into the pockets Of men.
who never expect to give any returns.
If that money had been invested in
Iowa property or Iowa investments the
widow would have been assured a
permanent income.

BEvERIDaE cUssED HARD.

An interesting story told by the
Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Times-Star recalls the fact that
Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana
once lived in Kansas. After the
future senator had finished school he
went north and worked in logging
camp, and then decided to come to. the
Sunflower state. He was persuaded to
stop at Dig!lton, and there entered the
real estate business. One day there
was trouble at Dighton and a necktie
party was being arranged for certain
offender. Beyeridge mounted dry
goods box and talked the lynchers out
of the idea, literally saving the in
tended victims life.
The Times-Star story gives Bever-
idge's version:
What was your hardest struggle in
life, Senator?" Mr.. Beveridge was
asked one day.
ITO quit cussing," said he; "I learn
ed how to swear hard enough to i'm
press the loggers, and it was years be-
fore | could break myself of the habit.
But it helped save my life one time. l
was in a little cow town in western
Kansas when a mob undertook to
lynch drunken man for stealing a
mule. believed him innocent, and l
managed to outcuss that crowd. And
than the man who preferred the
charge came after me and cussed
him out SO that he put his gun back
In his holster and went away"
