THE SENATE TO PROBE
THE COST OF LIVING
Committee in Named for
Purpose.

Washington, d. c., February 49,
Vice-President Sherman today ap-
pointed as a select committee to in
vestigate the increased cost of living
Senators Lodge, chairman; Gallinger,
McCumber, Smoot, Crawford, Sim
mons and Clark, of Arkansas.
Contrary to expectation it appears
unlikely that hearings will be held
by the committee.
Chairman Lodge will call his asso-
ciates together to consider the best
method of procedure. He is of the
opinion that more can be accomplish
ed by calling to the committee ex-
perts in the executive departments
who have special knowledge of the
many subjects to be probed
1t was stated by Mr. Lodge today
that the investigation would be a
thorough one and would cover fully
the wide scope provided for in the
resolution reported from the Finance
committee.

PLAYS TEENS WITH INTEREST
FROM START TO FINISH
"Graustark" the Most Popular Play
Of the Day.

"Graustark," the dramatization of
Geo. Barr McCuteheon's novel of
the same title, comes to the opera
house next Monday night. This is
one of the big successes of the sea-
son. The play teens with heart in
terest. All it's absorbing situations
revolve around the love affairs of the
Princess Yetive and Grenfall Lorry,
wealthy, dashing, handsome young
American. The young lover is false
ly accused of having slain a rival.
His life is in jeopardy; the princess
throne is tottering, when Anguish,
I1orry's artist friend, shrewdly
g1esses the man and wins a confes-
sion by running fis strong American
bluff
The abduction of a princess, the
murder of prince, the escape and
temperance of the falsely accused
lover and his final acceptance by
Princess Yetive and her people are
features of a gripping story of a love
behind a throne in delightful man
ner
Scenically, it is a marvel of tha
art. The hotel, boudoir and throne
room settings are gorgeously artistic
conveying ideas of court splendo
which are rounded out by the cos
tunes of the players, each being ex
actIy suited to the requirements 0
the play.

AMERICUS MIGHT FOLLOW SUIT

Authorities of CordeIe are Waging
Such Warfare.

Americus has it's share of idlers,
while the professional beggar from
the north hangs upon the street cor
ner or sprawls in front of the post
office at very frequent intervals Cor
dele is getting rid of this class of
cattle, and we might profitably take
the tip from that smaller, but not
less progressive own. Instructions
have been given the police there to
clear the town of vagrants, and az
a result of these instructions many
unemployed people, black and white,
have been rounded up and locked IN
the city Jail in default of bail. This
move will greatly benefit the farm
ers, who are at this time greatly in
need of increased assistance on the
farms preparatory to the planting sea-

INVEST MORE MONEY IN
MILLS. AND FACTORlE S
Another Round Million Thus
Invested.
No Factory for Ameri-
Gus But Money Plenty
for Other Towns.

Americus has hitherto failed utterly
in every effort put forth by press
and public to secure the location oil
cotton mill here, and this, too
when half the capital stock was a.
ready pledged by foreign capitalists
who, with keener perception, realized
Americus' advantages as a manufac-
turing point.
Our people evidently do not favor
cotton mills, or at least those who
have the money wherewith to build
them prefer other investments that
pay much smaller returns.
Many men here of very large means
refuse absolutely to subscribe a dol
lar towards a cotton mill, but are
glad to get 5 per cent. investments
in other towns where cotton mills are
among the important industries.
Nothing to invest in the town in
which they reside. Not dollar to
help put Americus forward.
How different the feeling in towns
that have cotton factories in sue
cessful operation. More and larger
mills are being erected and additional
machinery put in those now in op-
Grafton. Every factory has it's big
weekly payroll, and the merchants
are the beneficiaries.
The following news item was sent
out from Columbus yesterday:
The Georgia Manufacturing Com
pany is increasing its capacity to the
extent of 1000 new spindles;. which
are now being added to the big plant.
Other Columbus cotton mills are puc-
ting in new machinery at this time.
which indicates that they are in a
prosperous condition.
'The Muscogee Manufacturing
company is installing new and
up-to-date electric plant, which will
add much to the present facilities of
the big mills.
The Columbus Manufacturing Com
pany has just received a carload of
new machinery for it's big annex,
which has about been completed at
a cost of $50O000. This new mill viii
be ready to begin operation shortly.
'The Eagle and Phenix mills are
receiving a lot of new looms, which
are being substituted for the old
ones, and, altogether, the textile
plants of the city are spreading and
prospering as never before in their
history, and Columbus is more than
ever the Lowell of the South"
All of which is respectfully refer
red to citizens of Americus, espe-
cially those who oppose the building
of cotton factories, or rather who
want other people to put up the
money.

THIS WINTER IS WORST
tilRE in len YEARS
Planting of Crops Delayed
