PERTINENT
QUESTION

to pump this water by steam and but
SIG a day to pump it by electricity.
Furthermore. the room required for
the electrical pumps is SO much small
er than is required for the steam
pumps that it will not be necessary to
make new addition to the plant
AS the cost of installation the bids
which were opened for the steam
600 for pumps and $4,000 for the boil
ers. AS compared to this the cost of
installation of the electric pumps
would be but $4,000.
Bids Not Asked For.
Under these circumstances the cleo
trio pumpman thinks it rather peculiar
that bids were not even received from
the electrical pump manufacturers I'M
til after the bids on the steam pumps
We're opened. and then they were sub
mitted only at the request of the cleo
trical pump manufacturer.
AS to the source of the current there
are a number of concerns in this local
ity which are ready and willing to
furnish power at greatly reduced rates
and will be glad to extend wires to the
portunity of selling the power.

of course. is due to the fact that the
engine men and trainmen on steam
roads are well organized into unions
and are able TO demand and obtain fair
wages from the companies. But the
companies themselves appear to ap-
preciate the fact that they must have
competent men in their employ and that
to get them they must pay fair wages

bans would raise the standard of wag

wreck was caused by one crew running

order, together with the further fact
that the Kingsland wreck was caused,

A COMPLIMENT TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE

Roosevelt is to be received with
royal honors at Berlin. A palace is
to be assigned to him and his wife
and daughter, royal chefs will cook
for them, royal servants viii wait up
on them, a squadron Of royal guards
will accompany them, and altogether
the impression viii be conveyed that
Theodore /. Emperor of all the Amer
leans, is being entertained by his
royal brother of the House of Hohen-
zollern.
In a measure this is fattering to
our national pride. Only in a degree
can it be looked upon as tribute to
Roosevelts personal worth While
Emperor William may esteem the ex-
president highly IS a man Of tremend-
Gus resources, with a life of remark
able achievements behind him, the I'M
usual compliments that are being paid
to him are to be regarded more in
the light of a tribute to the greatness
of the American nation. Roosevelt
out of the pres. dency, is regarded as
truly as much a representative Of tho
American people as Taft in the presi-
dency. And really there is no con-
cealing the fact that such is the case.
Emperor William has the sagacity 20
comprehend and grasp the situation N
this country, to realize that today
Roosevelt is stronger with the Amer
lean people than he was a year ago.
that his influence with the nation is
greater than that of Taft, its official
head. and that the outlook strongly
points to the return Of the African
hunter to the White House in March,
1913
Emperor William is playing good
politics in giving such a reception TO
Roosevelt We all appreciate it.
Roosevelt is a great American citi-
zen, IN a sense he typifies the Ameri-
can spirit. Honors to him are proper
ly to be looked upon as honors to the
nation from whence he came And
the American people are not so churl-
ish but that they will accept Emperor
Williams hospitality in the spirit il
which it is given and appreciate il
as a compliment from a ruler who has
always professed the greatest admir-
alton for the United States.

COME OFT TO THE MEETING TO-
NIGHT.

AS a citizen interested in the devel-
opment of Americas as a manufacture
ing point you can well afford to give
an hour or two of your time tonight to
a consideration of the movement now
under way to bring small industries
here.
The meeting at the city hall for this
purpose should be largely attended. 1t
should be a thoroughly representative
gathering of the progressive citizens,
embracing business men, professional
men, artisans, property owners, every
class of citizenry, indeed, as every
class is vitality interested in the
growth of the city and the expansion
of the opportunities afforded for BUSH
ness and the earning of a livelihood.
The man who stays away from the
meeting shows by his absence that he
is not interested in the growth of the
city, that he is Indifferent to its well
fare, that it is a matter of no moment
to him whether it increases in popula-
ton and Importance or not There
can be no other view taken of the
matter.
The plan that is proposed is one that
can be pushed through to success if
the men of Americas will cooperate.
The display of a proper spirit at this
time viii mean much for the future of
the city If this movement falls
through the discouraging effects will
be felt for a long time Don't let Il
fall through. Help to make it com
plete success by your presence, your
open sympathy, and your active assist
ance. 1t is a duty you owe to the
city, and it will be a profitable thing
/ to you personally. Every advance step
that Americas takes benefits every one
of its people.

PETITIONING HOKE TO RUN.

One of the most amusing disclosures
in recent Georgia politics is that con-
corning the petitions that are being
circulated asking former Gov Smith tc
make the race again FIR ...e Office held
by him for one term.
The petitions, it appears were sent
out from Atlanta to number of coun-
ties, those selected being mainly coun-
ties that went for Joe Brown two
years ago.
The idea appears to have been &c
seek by this means to create the i'm
preston that there was a simultan-
eous, spontaneous demand from the
people for Smith to enter the field
The uncoYering of the facts in the
case have awakened a hearty laugh al
over the state. This sort of politics is
amusing and harmless. There is Z
sort of amateur air about it, though
that makes one wonder whether the
Atlanta office boy hasn't recently
learned to use the typewriter and had
too free an access to the office stat
tionery.
In this connection, though it would
be interesting to know how many Of
the invitations sent to the former gov.
ernor to deliver public addresses are
brought about by direct, or indirect
solicitation from Atlanta We have
heard that certain parties in certain
counties have had it strongly intimated
to them from Atlanta that invitations
of such nature would be entirely ac-
ceptable
