At last Cotton avenue is to be re-

be made. City Engineer Stallings will
get busy here next week, and will
readjust the uneven granite curbing
and bring all pavements to a grade.
Bumps, knolls, hillocks and raVines
will be eliminated from both roadway
and pavements, and new walks of
brick or cement laid down where re-
quired. Many stretches of alleged
pavement along the avenue from the
Parker warehouse to the Central de-
pot is rough and broken while por-
tions of it are not paved at all. Tile
improvement, it is said, will not stop
at the passenger depot, but will be
continued up Brooklyn Heights as

and citizens generally will rejoice
now that the city council Is

"a KISS FOR A CONVERT"

College Girls Don't Want to Trade
Self Respect for Votes.

Wellesley, Mass, February 22-The
Wellesley College girls heartily dis
approve of the reported slogan foster
ed by Mrs. Alma Webster Powell, Of
New York, "a Kiss, for a Convert"
Miss Emily Balch, one of the college
instructors, says: eff women cannot
win votes except by bartering away
their self respect and kisses then
suffrage must remain a dead issue.
The idea of such suggestion should
be displeasing to any woman. The
legislator with as little sense as to
be cajoled by a strange woman's kiss
doesn't belong in any law-making
body. If women cannot get their
rights by stating their case openly
and truthful1y showing that their po-
sition and demands are lawful ones
then let suffrage die in its infan.
cy."

MRS. ANDREWS is DEAD:
A'HOME is STRICKEN
Beloved Lady Passes Away
tuesday.

In TIE death Of Mrs. Rebecca Griggs
Andrews, Americus sustains the loss
of one of her noblest and most be-
loved women; one whose life was
filled with golden deeds of gentle
ness, love and kindness, and whose
| sweet presence was ever blessing
and an inspiration to her friends.
TIE end came peacefully yesterday
afternoon, and as one falling into
iltful, restful sleep she answered the
call of her Master
And hundreds here who knew anc
loved her will today mingle their tears
in silent grief with those nearer and
dearer to her, and to whom the love of
sainted mother was indeed a sweet
5enediction.
Rarely has one so generally beloved
here been called away to brighter
reward on high.
Mrs. Andrews death resulted from
pneumonia, an attack of short dura-
ever had.
She was reared in Putnam county,
near EatOnton, and in 1892 removed
with her sons and daughters to Ameri-
Gus, where the family has since re-
sided. Of nature genial and bright,
Mrs. Andrews drew about her a CO.
terie of warm friends who esteemed
Der in the highest degree.
One sister, Mrs. S. E Stubs, OF
Bonaire, and a brother, Mr.. Wes-
icy Griggs, of Putnam, are surviving
members of a large family there.
Four sons and two daughters mourn
the loss of a sainted mother. These
are E. Y. and D. r. Andrews, of
Amerlcus; T. P. Andrews, of Florida;
w. A. Andrews, of Putnam; Mrs. G..
T. Alexander, of Hillsboro, Ga, and
Miss Julia Andrews, of Americus.
Mrs. Andrews was a consistent
member of the First Methodist church
and the funeral exercises from the
residence at 3 o'clock this afternoon
will be concluded at the church at
$3.50, conducted by the pastor, Rev. .
b. Chester, assisted by Rev. r. j.
Bivins, of Furlow Lawn Baptist
church.
The palIbearers will be Messrs. j. E

INCREASE, IN FORGE AT
SHOPS IN AMERICUS
More Men There Now Than
in Long Time.

The forces at the Americus shops
of the Seaboard railway observed yes
terday the Washington holiday which
coming along with the regular month
ly pay day, rendered it the more ap-
preciated. Recently the working force
at the Americus shops has been con-
siderably in creased and a larger num-
ber of skilled men ape employed there
now than in long while. There are
about fifteen machinists, half dozen
boilermakers and four or five black
smiths in the shops now, in addition
to the large number of mechanics
wood workers, car repairers, painters
and those employed in other depart
ments. Plenty of work is given the
shops now, instead of taking it to the
shops on other divisions, and the
Americus plant is more than ever q
scene of general activity.
