Judge Randall of the Municipal Court
is making up the calendar for the regu
lar October term which is scheduled to
begin on the first Monday in October.
The work Of the court during the past
few months has been kept so we'll clean
ed up that it is thought that there
will be little to be done at the October
term and it is not expected that the
jurors drawn for service will be called
into court until the first week in No
vember. There are no criminal cases
of any Importance pending for the
term with the exception of the case of
the State against Albert Koch and it
is expected that this case will be dis
posed Of before the opening of the term.
The few civil actions will be tried in
few days and it is expected that the
term will be decidedly short one
The work of the Municipal Court
is largely cleaned up from day to day
and it is shown by the records of the
court that large number Of the criminal
cases which formerly numbered up the
terms of the CIRCUIT Court are disposed
of in short order before Judge Randall.
A large majority of the men arrested
for petty crimes and arraigned in this
court have pleaded "guilty'' and the
case has beer finally disposed Of within
a short time. The list of jurors for
the October term of the court drawn

"ST. ELMO" TO COME AGAIN
SOON TO AMERICUS

1t is safe to assert that one person
in ten who have read more than a
dozen novels is unfamiliar with Angus
ia Evan powerful romance of south
ern life st. Elmo" And it will delight
the admirers of that classic est Elmo
to learn that on Wednesday, Jan 26,
matinee and night, dramatization Of
that play will be seen at the opera
house, interpreted by a cast of more
than ordinary merit. The author IS
favorably known as master of stage
craft and his version of st. Elmo is a
sympathetic and faithful translation of
the fiction characters into flesh and
blood. A carload of special scenery
and properties will be carried that the
atmosphere of the scenes may be re-
produced to the smallest detail.

not say, Peace, peace, to the sacred
dust of Robt. Edward Lee.
when the Western continents shall
have been severed, and the ships of all
the world shall anchor at our gates,
and the tongues of all the nations
shall be heard in our streets, there
shall be needed for the directing of
our country men, strong and true. God
hath schooled us in hardship and for
bearance, he hath illustrated plan in
the life of Lee. Shame upon our un-
derstanding, if we do not respond
'It is for us to transmit our story of
valor to the generations that follow
us. Our civic life need not so much
initiate that of Lee as take it's inspir-
alton from the same divine source.
And in that golden age which seems
to be promised our Southern land,
may every child be we'll instructed In
the measure of our glory, and know,
and love the virtue of Robert Edward
Lee"

NEW CITY CODE is
READY FOR DELIVERY.
Col. Sheppard Turns Out
Up-tO-Date Volume.

The new city code is now completed
and practically in readiness for de-
livery TO the city The Southern
Printers, who had the contract, will
turn over the one hundred and fifty
copies of the book to the Clerk of
Council by the close of the week and
1t will once more be possible for an
alderman, city officer, or a plain,
private citizen, to know exactly what
the city laws are for the regulation of
business and of existence generally.
The last code was issued ten years
ago and had become decidedly obso-
lete. AS a result there was hardly
a meeting of council but some uncer-
tainty prevailed as to what the exist
ing ordinances really provided. This
led to the ordering of the new code.
Col. ]. E. Sheppard, then city attorney,
was authorized to make an entirely
new code, in connection with the COM
mittee on ordinances. He went at the
WI II III q thi'i puSo44 way anu III the
new code all dead ordinances and all
dealing with obsolete matters, are
omitted, and all others brought up to
date in their amended forms. The
code as it now stands accordingly rep
resents the live laws Of Americus.
The book is a very neat one, of 1863
pages, we'll indexed, and with the or
dinances arranged in the most ap-
proved manner for ready reference.
1t is bound in heavy cardboard, appar-
emily the one mistake, as the life of
such a binding is necessarily limited
AS another code is hardly to be looked
for until another decade has passed
something more substantial in binding
gould have been better. The new
code reflects credit on the painstaking
care of the COMPILER and on the typo
g.aphica ability of the printers. The ,
y i'll no doubt be Sufficient demand

MAKE NO LIGHTING

Adverse Report Sustained
By Council.
Committee on Lighting
Does Not Deem Con-
tract Advisable.

At the meeting of the City Council
last night the following report was
received from the committee on lights.
To the Mayor and City Council
Gentlemen: Our committee, to whom
the matter of the Americus Street
Railway and Light Companys propo-
sition to light the city's streets for the
year 1910 was referred, begs to re-
port: That after going thoroughly
over the matter, we feel that it would
not be advisable to make a contract
with the said Americus Railway, Light
and Power Company under the exist
ing conditions; that their claims are
still in the hands of the court and
unsettled; therefore we report un-
faVorably in the matter and respect
fully recommend that the city install
lighting plant of it's own as early as
practicable. Respectfully submitted
as a majority report of the lighting
committee.

Advance as Great as the Loss on Day

See-saw, up and down, the cotton
market continues its uncertain course.
Yesterday was the day for it to go
up, and up it went according to pro-
gram, the advance being equal to the
loss sustained Tuesday, which was
about so points. In the meantime
Americas holders sit steady in the
boat with no intention of offering a
bale while the cotton sharks and gam
blers control the situation.
