BOARDS ORDER HAS
BEEN COMPLIED WITH
All Children in Public
Schools Are VaCCiDated

All of the school children have been
vaccinated in accordance with the re-
cent order of the Board of Education
to Superintendent Miller to see to il
that the rule adopted some years ago
was rigidly enforced.
At first it was thought that there
would be some trouble in enforcing
the order Some of the older pupils
had not been vaccinated, and among
some few parents there was an incli-
nation to resist having their small
children vaccinated on their entrance
into the schools.
All in all there were probably not
over fifty children out of the thousand
or more in the schools who had not
complied with the old rule of the
board
Superintendent Miller at once made
an investigation, obtained the names oil
all unvaccinated children, and prompt
ly notified their parents that it was a
case of vaccinate or withdraw from
the schools.
This had the desired effect Physi-
clans certificates or bodily evidence
in the shape of scars have been forth
coming and now it is an established
fact that no child is in the schools
who has not taken this precautionary
measure.
From now on there will be no devi-
alton from the rule that is universal
in this country.

CARBOLIC ACID BY MISTAKE
TAKEN FOR MOUTH VASE
DIR. Charles Harold Burns Throat by
Mistake.

The many Americus friends of DIR.
Charles Harold are gratified that no
serious consequences followed the TAX
ing of a swallow of carbolic acid by
mistake a day or two ago. DR.. Har-
rold is one of the leading physicians Of
Macon, and while in his Office in the
afternoon mistook the bottle of car
bolic acid for mouth wash, it is
stated His throat and mouth were
severely burned by the acid, but the
consequences are not at all serious
and he has doubtless recovered entire
ly ere this time.

SENT THE PETITION
TO THE COMMITTEE
but Aid. Allen Fought Hard
Against It.
VIII City Make a Con-
tract For Lighting
For One Year.

Just before the City Council CLOSED
It's interesting session on Wednesday
night the clerk read the following pc
tition:
January 5, 1910.
10 the Mayor and City Council ot
Americus, Americus, Ga:
Gentlemen-As you all no doub
know, this company is lighting the
streets of Americus without any con.
tract at all other than verbal one
running from month to month.
We have already installed, for dem
onstration purposes, twelve magnetic
arc lamps. These lamps are of the
very highest efficiency and the most
recent type in use. We have on hand
and ready for installation sixty-eight
more of these lamps and are extreme
ly anxious to put them in service al
once, believing as we do that the i'm
proved service would be of great bene-
fit OF your city and highly pleasing to
your citizens.
We would therefore ask that the
street lighting question and the MAX
ing of contract for one year with
this company be taken up by yoar
honorable body for immediate action,
and assure you that we will do all in
our power to make an agreement with
you which will be mutually satisfac-
tory. Respectfully yours.
AMERICUS LIGHT & RAILWAY co.
The clerk had barely completed the
reading of the signature before Alder
man Allen was on his feet.
81 move that the communication be
tabled" said he somewhat sharply.
Alderman Bolton quietly remarked
that he really could see no harm in
letting it follow the uual course OF
petitions, referring it to the lighting
committee. to which It would natur-
ally go. The committee would have
to refer it back to Council for final
action, he said.
Alderman Allen did not take kindly
to such a proposition. He insisted
that the proper way was to table the
petition at once and be through with
it. This is very insidious docu-
ment," declared Alderman Allen some
what vehemently Alderman Allen in
sisted that it was playing with fire to
fool with the petition at all.
Alderman Bolton again remarked
that he begged to differ with
brOther alderman. If the commuE-
Tcation was referred to the committee
on lighting the committee would have
to refer it back to Council to take ac-
ton. q cannot see any harm in in-
vestigating the proposition" said he
Alderman Brown brought the mat
ter to a head by moving the commit
ting of the petition to the committee
on lighting. Alderman Bolton second
ed this.
Alderman Allen continued in oppo-
sition. "All of this Council" he de
clared, "were elected, except Mr.
Brown, on a municipal ownership
platform, and we have no right L
consider a contract with these peo
pie"
Alderman Aliens views failed +
prevail three of the aldermen presen
believing that it was clearly within
the province of Council to receive tn
petition, consider it in committee, an

MAYOR AND AID. ALLEN
DIFFER ON ME TfRS
Mayor Wants City to Buy
Them Soon.
Aid. Allen Wants No
Such Expense Until
Lighting Plant is
Secured.

Whether the city will put in water
meters for every store and house IN
the city using water is not yet deter
mined.
Mayor Fielder is very anxious that
the entire city shall be put on a meter
basis. He insists that the result x. Z
be a great saving at the waterwf
The prevention of waste of w SHe
believes, will cut down ths ping
considerably, lessen theA Rption
of fuet .aterially, andA Efficient
money{s speedily re- Use the city
for the'.aater mete6I
The ts!4Qr ta'AsfSRe position that
the cit II :, x9,es sdt in and own the
meterss N property owners or
tenantysco not be forced to put
in 99E 10 measure the water the
city4a qp~l92Aam. AS the mayor re-
gs4,lf s.S /, .tstA gx,e meters are just
AZ 1ymuch a part of the city water
equipment as the pipes or the pumping
plant. A gas company or an electric
lighting company does not force the
users to buy and put in meters, and
he does not believe the city should do
so either.
The matter was brought up again
at the last meeting of the city council
when the mayor called for report
from the committee on water, to which
had been referred the securing of fig
ures on meters and otherwise the gem
eral investigation of the question.
The committee was not prepared to
report and the mayor urged that the
new committee take the matter up and
push it. He expressed his views in
favor of the city buying the meters
and installing them. AS he viewed
it, it would pay the city even to borrow
the money for that purpose if that step
were necessary.
Alderman Allen opposed the mayors
views in the matter. Alderman Allen
stated that he was opposed to the
city incurring any such new oblfga-
tions until the money had been pro-
vided for the municipal lighting plant
and that he would object to any such
plan at the present time on that score
if no other.
The mayor held that one way to get
money for a lighting plant, or any
other citV DurDOseS would he to emf
down the expenses of operating the
Waterworks, and that inasmuch as the
meter system would do this it was
good public policy to get the meters
They would soon pay for themselves
he held, and then the profits from op-
Grating the waterworks would become
apparent and could be used for a
lighting plant or any other desired
purpose.
Nothing was done save to exchange
views along these lines. 1t is not i'm
probable, though, that the new water
committee will take up the matter
and report at an early meeting. Then
there will doubtless be some animated
discussion as to the advisability of the
city buying and installing meters. The
question will probably provoke a very
sharp debate when it does come up.

Total increase in pay rolls 2,O45.5O
The increase of $100 in the license
of a near-beer saloon, of which nine
have taken out licenses, provides 5000
of this increase. The city marshal
too, it is believed, will make his own
salary good by bringing additional
revenues to the city through his vfgi-
lance. If this proves so, there re-
mains but $40O additional expense to
come from ordinary revenues, a mere
bagatelle.
The action of the council in raising
wages meets with general commenda-
tion. Even now the wages paid by
the city are less than those in Albany,
Athens and other cities nthe same
class as Americus.

standpoint alone he much prefers
dry TO wet county.
"David Wilson, postmaster and coal
dealer, believes business conditions
have generally improved under local
option and believes more people are in
favor of it at the present time than be-
fore it went into effect.
"Mayor VIM. +. Sandell says: Il

in any way harmful to the business in
terests of the community

says conditions are better under local
option than they were before.
"Forest Fish of Fish Il Young, meat
market, says it is the best thing that
ever happened for the city of Bedding.
"From these statements made by the
business men, one must conclude that
local option has not only not injured
the business in the city, but on the con-
trary it has improved since the first of
4, last May. Property values have also
increased during that time. The places
formerly occupied by the saloons are
all renting for higher prices than for
saloon purposes and rent generally has
advanced.
believing that every voter should
enlighten himself on these topics before
going TO the polls to vote on April 4,

will attend the meeting as announced
above and hear these questions dis
cussed."
