Washington. D. c., March 1S.-The
question as to whether Joseph G. Can
non czar of congress, shall be shorn
of his power by being deposed from
membership on the rules committee of
the house, which action it is believed
would be speedily followed by his res
ignation as speaker and his elimina-

ferred until noon tomorrow. This ac-
ton was taken this afternoon after the

When the final adjournment was
taken it was the opinion on both sides
OF the house apparently that the re,

would depose Cannon by a majority
of nine votes, unless unexpected de-
yelopments take place overnight.

Mr.. James Alexander, aged eighty

He was the village blacksmith"
when Americus was a struggling town
of a half dozen humble homes, and
here he piled his honest vocation un-

retirement.
When the tocsin of war sounded in
the sixties Mr.. Alexander, in tn eprime
and vigor of young manhood, went to
Virginia as member of Cults ar
tillery and there heard the thunder
of the guns he served so well until the
sun of the Confederacy set forever.
While native of South Carolina,
he came to Americus at an early age
and the greater portion if his life was
spent here
He is survived by his aged wife,
daughter and two sons. The funera4

conducted by Rev. O. B. Chester, pas

Friends of the family are respectfully

comp ANY G IS RtADY
TO TAKE THE FIELD
Bata lion of Cadets at
College.
Third Companyis is Made
Up of Students There.
Baud of Is Pieces.

Possibly the best explanation of the
steady growth and solid development
together with the deserved reputation
abroad throughout the state and 9TH
er states, that the Third District Agrl..
cultural and Mechanical School has
attained is due to the conservatism
of the management. Step by step, as
one department has been organized,
aonthier has been opened and we'll
established before any other has been
attempted.
1t does not mean that every depart
ment does not continue to grow, for
they do.
A year and half ago the first COM
pany of cadets was organized and
then came the consolidation of all the
cadets into a battalion, when an ar
mory was opened up with comman-
dant and adjutant's headquarters.
1t seems that the enthusiasm of the
military life of the school is unbound
ed. Every term has brought new men
to the school. 1t requires a lot of
preliminary drilling to rank well in
the old companies. To meet the de-
mands of the new men, the present
term men, and those who had not be-
fore enlisted, a new company, Com
pany G, has just been organized.
The officers SO far selected are Geo.
M. Bazemore, of Crisp, captain; w. o
Walton, of Stewart, first lieutenant;
F. w. Kent, of Sumter, first SER
geant; H. H. Williams, of Sumter. sec
ond sergeant. The other officers will
be elected after the men have drilled
for a few weeks.
With the advent of the new military
company comes the organization of .
military band with eighteen ..instru-
ments. The boys are taking daily af-
ternoon lessons, and before a great
while will be ready to appear before
the public =
Inc plans for the new dining hall
and additional rooms for about forty
pupils combined in one building have
been drawn and arrangements for
rasing all the money needed to erect
the building have been made and only
requires the endorsement of the board
OF trustees to put the matter in def
mite shape
Truly, the Third district school is
growing. New buildings must in the
near future be erected. Already the
school has outgrown the support It
receives from the state.
Some time the city may we'll donate
free water to the school. This item
of saving would Immediately make
available funds with which an equip
ment for making lights for the school
could be purchased. This is one item
that the school here pays for that IS
free at the other schools.
This institution is bringing about
$4,000 to the city annually. It should
be encouraged and helped to larger
proportions and greater developments
