TO SEE HOW The
Votes STANDON IT
May Vote on Commission in
Coming Primary.
Council May Be Asked to Give Voters
an Opportunity TO Express Their
Views On Commission Question:
OVement Gaining Strength Here

1t is reported that movement viii
soon be put on foot to petition the
city council to permit the voters, al
the approaching municipal election, tc
give vent to their views on the ques-
ton of commission government for
Anericus.
There is no doubt tat there is q
growing sentiment in favor of gov
erning Americus, as soon as posi-
BILE, by a single commission form OF
government. The success that has
been achieved in so many cities, the
rapid spread of the idea, the constant
adoption of it by southern and we5-
tern towns-all this has tended To
concentrate public attention on the
commission form of government as
the most desirable for American cit
les.
Those who strongly feel that such
a change would be beneficial in Amer
icus are of the opinion that legisia-
tion SHOULD be asked for when the
general assembly meets next sum
mer giving to the voters of Americus
the right to change their form Of
government whenever they may SO de-
sire.
In order to get this legislation tn
city government should request its
passage at THE solicita sson of rs
if the majority of them are
of the opinion that such a change S
desirable.
1t is held that at the approaching
for mayor and aldermen VOL
ers should be given an opportunity
to vote 'yes," or mo" on the simple
proposition as to whether they favor
the securing of legislation THAT will
permit later on the adoption of the
single commission form of govern
ment.
This would not interfere in any
way with the regular election, nor
would it cut short the terms of office
of those elected for tie next two
years.
1t is suggested that the voters be
given the desired opportunity in the
primary election in December. More
voters turn out at the primary than
at any other election, and it would
be confined to the white voters.
Some one of the aldermen known as
the 'Progressives' may put the mat
ter up to council at an early meet
ing If SO, it is believed there viii
be a majority. of the board in favor
of giving the voters an opportunity
to express their sentiments a. the
polls in tits way.

to the Splendid Highways Over
Which the Tourists Are Speed

There are others, but none like

dict of the several hundred round
the-state' auto speeders going through
Americus daily this week. Such was

east state party here yesterday, as
we'll as those coming the day before i
Frank Weldon, of the Constitution
who is a past master in Judging good
roads, and who lends the splendid
cavalcade now touring the state, never
tires in telling tie world of the fine
roads in Sumter.
He has come often to AImericus re-
Gently, and while here on Monday
wired his paper in part as follows, re-
garding the roads in this part of the
state:
"Bibb's roads through the county
are like ASPHALT being much superior
to Peachtree road in F4tton county.
Houston countys roads are as a gen
eral thing, better than amy other north
of Sumter
Macon county has good roads ana
bad roads, while the same is true d
Lee. The approach to I-c.r3urg IS
through roads that are pRacuca ~
sandbeds, and it is awful going, but
the reads from Leesburg to the south
line are great.
AS for Sumter's roads, it's simply
a case of seeing is believing for the
existence of such roads woull un
doubtedly be doubted by amy who had
not seen them. In the surfacing, the
grading, the absence of curves and
general excellence tley are of tie
very highest class.
The reception 10y the citizens of
Americus and Sumter county was en-
thusiastic as the tourists knew from
their reputation it would be- Ovei
thirty cars, packed to the limit, met
the tourists eight miles out and es.
corted them into town"
And this was the sentiment of al
the visitors. Americus and Sumte.

MAYORALTY FIGHT WILL
end this WEEK.
"ShaII Woodward Go In?" is
the Issue.
Especial to Times-Recorder.) J

~
Atlanta, Ga, October 19.-Atlanta S
mayoralty struggle will come to an
end this week with the city primary
on Friday, when it will be decided
whether or not James C. Woodward,
who has served two terms in that
capacity, shall again become the city 5
chief executive.
That is really the sole Issue in the
campaign. Both sides are talking
loudly about what they have done ana
what they propose to do for the pao-
pie Of Atlanta, but right down at the
bottom the only big question is Wood
ward and anti-WoodWard.
Present indications are that Court
land S. Winn, WHO has been put out
to wipe up the earth with Mr.. Wood
ward, will be elected; but there are
many who feel that this is by no means
certain eventuality.
Woodward seems to have had the
call on THE size of meetings and the
apparent enthusiasm, but the Vim
vote is more of the kind that doesn't
go into rapture.
This week rs full of political meet
ings. They are being held every nigh;
and in practically every ward There
is scarcely an Albanian who can &C
home in the evening but what he runs
afoul of a political meeting on one side
or the other
But Friday will settle it all and il
any event the city will lave politica,
peace fer two years more.
A large number of other city officials:
are to be elected at the same time
and altogether locally politics is abont
as warm as it was just preceding the
state primary.
