1t has been pointed out that the theory

according to which new species of plants
come into existence rot by long process
of natural selection, as Darwin supposed,
but through sudden mutations, the cause
of which remains unknown, applies equally
well to new species of animals

AS a veterinary surgeon | heartily agree
that for the sake of the horses the public
watering troughs should not be abolished.
However, the fact must not be over
looked that the Veterinary association was
perfectly right in asserting that the public
water trough is source of infection and
that great many horses contract that
most dreaded and fatal disease, CHAMBERS,
by drinking from them.
However, this danger of infection could
be reduced to minimum if the city au-
thorities would compel the owners Of The

who have read Augusta Evans VIII

For the matinee tomorrow afternoon
the scale of prices is: Orchestra, Is
cents; balcony, so cents; children, %
cents. Regular prices as usual at
evening performance.
''St Elmo" is exceptionally rich in
descriptive scenes and lengthy philos-
optical discussions, all of which must
of necessity be discarded in preparing
the book for stage use. On behalf of
the author it is said that he has sue
ceeded in writing a faithful dramatic
version, free from taint of melodrama
and in very way dignified present
ment of the dramatic features of Miss
Evans work.
Admirers of the famous Southern
author will be interested in noting
how well the dramatist has done his
work, while to those for whom the
teatre is of interest only so far as it
serves to amuse, a play of great dra-
matte value has been prepared.

SUMTER TO APPLY FOR
Her QUOTA OF zEBRAS
Value of COnyiCtSOn Roads
Appreciated.

The roads around Americus and all
over the county reflect the good work
done by convicts. and Sumter county
viii again ask for her full quota of the
zebras when the annual apportionment
of state convicts is made by the prison
commission early in April.
Secretary Goodloe Yancey of the
prison commission has just sent out
notices requesting those counties
which desire convicts for the ensuing
year, beginning April /. to send their
applications to the commission at the
earliest possible date.
There is already every indication in
the replies received that there will be
an increased demand for convicts and
that it will be impossible to give the
counties all they want.
Only thirty counties have replied to
date, but all those which are using
convicts not only want to keep their
apportionment, but desire more. -Four
out of thirty do not want convicts-
Two which have no state convicts are
now asking for them--Crisp and Doug
las.
The twenty-four others like the plan
SO well that they want more. It is ex-
pected all the replies will come in
during February, probably after the
February meetings of the various
boards of county commissioners.

READY FOR FIGHT
OVER MEAT PRICES.
Chicago Will Be the Scene
of Proceedings.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-With the heads of
all the big packing houses here and at
torneys arrayed on each side, the gov
ernment's investigation of the dressed
meat industry will be ready for action
when the federal grand jury convenes
tomorrow.
Whether the price of meat is artifi-
cially kept high is to be the basis Of
contention in battle which may last
for weeks.
Supoenas have been prepared 70
bring before the jury witnesses from
all departments of the packing house
business. 1t is promised this inquiry
will surpass all former attempts for
thoroughness. The packers are ready
for combat
Three lines of action have been out
lined. These are:
Criminal prosecution for alleged vio-
lation of the antitrust law.
Civil action for the dissolution of
the National Packing Company
Contempt proceedings for alleged
violation of Judge Grosscup's injunc-
tion restraining the packers from fix
ing prices in restraint of trade
Practically all of the evidence gath
cred by the government in a previous
investigation, it is said, has been aban-
dOned and autirnI11 nau data obtaiuA n

TO WAGE A CAMP PAIGN

Death to Bugs and BaCiIIi
the Cry.

Washington, Jan 24-Billboards,
smoky factory chimneys, the housedy
and the Fouth of Judy tetanus bug"
are some of the pests which the Amer
lean Civic Federation hopes to abolish
and to that end national headquarters
have been secured in this city and an
altruistic campaign will be launched
in earnest next week.
The secretary, Richard B. Watrous,
who has been placed in charge, will
urge on Congress the enactment Of
legislation which he believes is of
much public interest. One of the
things aimed at is the creation of a
national park at Niagara Falls.
President Taft put the seal of his
approval on the policies of the Ameri-
can Civic Association by becoming a
member Of it when he was secretary
of war
Thousands of good citizens in all
parts of the United States have united
in this concerted movement to urge en-
Congress the enactment of legislation
which will eventually result in making
both town and country more desirable
places to live in.

TO COMPEL THE Rods
TO HURRY UP TRAINS
Better Service in Georgia
Probable.

Delayed trains in Georgia will be a
subject of investigation and possible
action by the railroad commission
this week.
The question has been brought to
the commissions attention largely
through newspaper publications, but in
some instances also byindividual COM
plaint, and the evil has become so no
torious that the commission feels call
ed upon to do sqNething about it.
The trouble isH6ue chiefly to inter
state trains, which are late in making
their connections outside the state;
hence are always or nearly always be-
hind schedule time in running through
Georgia.
That some remedy is needed is evil
dent from the frequent complaints
now coming from South Georgia cities
and towns, which are getting a se.-
vice anywhere from one to twelve
hours late.

AMERICUS TO SHOW UP
WELL IN THE CENSUS
It Count is Complete and
Thorough.
Little is Known Here in
Regards the Work.
Amount Allowed to
Enumerators.

Americus and the county as well
will show up handsomely in the cen
sus soon to be taken, provided that
care is exercised in the selection of
active and capable enumerators and
care given the work here. Under these
conditions the city will readily show a
population exceedingly $4,000.
But a most important question aris-
es right there.
Who is going to do the counting il
city and county? Absolutely no infor-
nation, so far as known, has been Civ
en- out here regarding supervisors and
enumerators.
Applicants for the position of enum-
orators have only five days during
which to make their applications, as
the lists will close Jan. 81. The ex-
animation will take place, Feb. 5, being
held all over the United States.
The taking of the census will begin
April Is. This must be finished with
in thirty days in the case of rural dis
tricts, and within two weeks in cities,
towns, etc, having a population of s.
600 or more.
The pay of enumerators is not less
than two nor more than four cents for
each inhabitant, not less than 20 nor
more than 80 cents for each farm re-
ported and 10 cents for each barn con-
tanning live stock not on farms, is pro-
vided for all subdivisions where the
director of the census shall deem such
remuneration sufficient.
In other subdivisions the director
may fix a mixed rate of not less than
81 nor more than 81 a day, in addi-
ton, an allowance of not less than l
cent, nor more than cents for each
inhabitant enumerated, and not less
than Is cents for each farm reported
In subdivisions where per diem
rates are necessary, because of the diff
ticulty of the enumeration, the enumer-
ator may be allowed, in the discretion
of the director, a compensation of not
less than SO nor more than Sc per
day of eight hours actual fieldwork
each.
Except n extreme eases, no claim
for mileage or travelling expenses will
be allowed to any enumerator, and
then only when authority has been
previously granted by the director Of
the census.
Enumerators must be between IS
and 20 years of age. Particular at
tention is called in the literature sent
out with the application blanks to the
requirement insisted upon by Pres
ident Taft that political activity shall
not be tolerated on the part of the su-
pervisors or enumerators.
