THE BLOODY CHASM
YANNS NO MORE
Dove of Peace FIUtterS
Over Clark and Walker.

President A. N. Walker of the Amer
Gus Railway and Light Company
walked down Jackson street yesterday
morning, the trolley car schedule be-
ing out of order
Alderman C. J. Clark sat in his of
flee at the monumental works.
President Walker entered the office.
Those who had seen him pass down
the streets stopped and wondered,
stopped and listened.
One or two of the more tifnfd took
refuge behind trunks of trees or
sought the convenient refuge of the
great slabs of granite across the
street.
The suspense to them was intense.
1t was just like man lying in a
storm pit on the western prairie
waiting for the tornado to pass over
head
Inside the office the white-winged
dove of peace "as futtering its wings
gently and with soothing effect.
The electric light president and the
city father stood shaking hands.
Good morning, alderman" said the
president.
Good morning, Mr.. Walker" said
the alderman.
Then there was little explanation
as to what was meant and what was
not meant at Councils meeting, grim
clouds of war passed away and sweet
visaged peace smiled gently on the
scene.
Il never cherish i'll feeling after d
thing is over" said the alderman, in
subsequent explanation
Alderman Clark is all right. He
is no Crouch" said the president.
The likelihood of an increase in the
police force has disappeared.

Council May Require Many
Things of 1t.

At the meeting of the City Council
on Wednesday night the following or
dinance was introduced by Alderman
Allen. At the instance of Alderman
Bolton, who wished proper time in
which to consider it, it was not put on
it's passage, but went over to the next
meeting:
Be it Ordained by the Mayor and
City Council of Americus, and 1t Is
Hereby Ordained by Authority of the
Same:
That from and alter the passage OF
this ordinance every person, firm or
corporation engaged in what is COM
monty known as baggage transfer
business" in addition to the rules
and regulations now in force relative
to said business, be required to have.
keep and maintain an office, conve-
niently located in the business portion
of the city, which office shall be in
charge of a competent manager, equip
ped with a telephone, and kept open
all night and all day for the convent
ence of the general public.
Be it further ordained, and it is
hereby ordained by authority afore-
said that any person engaged or oper-
ating a baggage transfer business
within the city of Americus, falling to
comply with the terms and require
tents of this ordinance, shall be sub
ject to a fine of not less than.

In addition the Sheffield-Huntingto
Company donated corn planter as
an additional first prize, and Mr.. J.
w. Harris donated a corn shelter as
an additional second prize.
The prizes are sufficiently large to
awaken attention and lead to a large
number of entries. There is apparent
ly no reason why Sumter county on a
contest like this should not turn out
125 to $50 bushels on the winning
acres. AS corn promises to keep
around the dollar mark the results
will be decidedly profitable all around
If the corn contest is the success
that is anticipated it is probable that
next year a number of prizes will be
offered along other lines.
Those making the contributions will
appoint judges and otherwise COM
plete the details for the contest as the
occasion arises.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 20.-The crisis
in railroad affairs of this country is
only equalled by the memorable strike
of 1902. Conductors and train
men of thirty-two railroads, embrac-
ing all lines east of Chicago and north
of the line of the Chesapeake e Ohio
railroad, have made formal demands
on employers for a general increase
in wages and better working hours.
The outcome is problematical, but
leaders on both sides admit that the
