TEACHERS chosen TO
FILL ALL VACANCIES
Each One is an Excellent
Instructor

At a called meeting of the Board
OF Education held yesterday afternoon
teachers were chosen to fill the three
vacancies made by designations from
the faculties of the public schools at
the close of the recent session.
Mr.. Bradley Chester, a recent grad
uate from Emory College, who is wide
ly and favorably known here in his
home city, was chosen to fill the place
of instructor in science in the High
School, which place was made vacant
as the result of the shifting of Mr.. c.
C. Youmans to fill the place of instru2
tor in mathematics recently. Mr..
Chester is a young man of sterling
qualities and received the highest rec
concentrations from the members of
the Emory faculty. The choice of him
to fill this position will meet with uni
versal approval
Miss Elise Gibbs, of Madison, and
Miss Lila Galloway, of Rayle, were
selected to fill the two vacancies i'll
the faculty of the grammar grades.
Miss Gibbs was for two years in charge
of the Muscogee Elementary School at
the State Normal School, fact which
is a recommendation par excellence
for her Miss Galloway is also a pro-
ficient graduate of the State Normal
School, who comes highly recommend
ed.
There seems no doubt but that the
vacancies in the faculties of the local
schools have been most satisfactorily
filled in the choice of these ,compe-
tent teachers.

1889 which incorporated the City of
Americas, must be passed by the leg
islature.
Decisive action was taken by Coun-
Gil in the matter of collecting taxes
now due the city, when a resolution
calling for the issuance of fl fas
against all delinquent taxpayers and
the placing of these papers in the
hands of the city marshal for imme-
diate collection was passed. This is
in accordance with an ordinance re-
Gently passed by Council, providing
for the collection OF all such back
taxes or the exclusion of them from
further consideration as assets in the
city's finances.
Invitations were extended to both
the Georgia Dental Society and the
Georgia Firemen's Association to
hold their next annual session in
Americus.

BEATS HIS Wife BADLY
and SHOOTS NEIGHBOR

Americus colored circles We're
greatly excited on Sunday when Bill
Coqbin, a burly zulu, used both club
and pistol with terrible effect in his
household, and is now in the county
jail to answer to the probable charge
OF murder in having shot to death one
Daisy Brown.
The shipping of the Brown Daisy
occurred in Corbins castle, where the
woman came in the role of peace
maker.
Corbin, it is said, was exercising the
Uxorial privilege of caressing his wife
with club, the Sabbath diversion
arousing the entire neighborhood as
the woman thus badly beaten, yelled
Justify for help.
It was then that Daisy Brown bios
somed upon the scene.
Enraged at her interference of MS
supposed rights Zulu Bill seized a
huge 44-calibre horse pistol and open
ed with a salute of two guns. Daisy
Brown was put out of action instanter,
and came very near being put off this
mundane sphere as well.
The woman is barely alive and VIII
doubtless die of her wounds, if she is

DIR. DODSON HAS SOLD
RETAIL DRUG BUSINESS
Hooks and Murray to Conduct
Pharmacy

The sale OF the Dodson Pharmacy,
which was currently reported Satur-
day afternoon, but not entirely con-
summated until yesterday morning, is
one of general interest to the public,
eliminating as it does a name so long
identified with the retail drug trade of
Amerbcus, and of this section.
But it brings into the arena one
that will meet with equal fayor-the
Hooks-Murray Pharmacy, which be-
gins business today
The purchasers of the Dodson Phar-
macy are Messrs. Thomas B. Hooks
and Emmett L. Murray, who have
already assumed charge of this very
popular drug business.
Mr.. Murray, as we'll known, for sew
eral years has been associated with
the Eldridge Drug Co., and is an eX-
perienced and capable pharmacist and
popular as well, having resided all Of
his life in Americus. 1t is understood
that DR.. Murray will have charge of
the new business as manager.
No other changes, so far as an
nounced, are contemplated.
DR.. ]. G. Dodson, who during the
past ten years has built up such an
excellent business, was anxious to dis
pose of his retail department in order
to give his time exclusively to the
growing business of the J. G. Dodson
Medicine Co.
AS president of this large company
extensively engaged in the manufac-
ture of patent preparations, the sales
of which have reached enormous pro-
portions, he will devote his energies
exclusively to manufacturing and
wholesaling of Liver-Tone and other
preparations made here.
Already this trade extends through
out the entire South and is increasing
enormously each year
The new firm Of Hooks-Murray
Pharmacy will maintain the high stan
dard of excellence and popularity so
long enjoyed by the old and we'll
known Dodsons Pharmacy

AMERICUS WILL HAVE
A RECORDERS COURT
If Idea Of Council is Car
FiGd Out

Americus is to have a recorders
court, if the action begun at last
nights session of City Council reaches
fruition.
With Acting Mayor Bolton in the
chair, Mayor Mathis introduced a
resolution asking for an amendment
to the charter of the city SO as to al
low the establishment Of recorders
court, instead of the present mayors
court.
At the time he introduced the reso-
luton, Mayor Mathis made reference
to the fact that special effort should
be made to check idling and vagrancy
among a certain class in the city. 1t
was pointed out that under the juris-
diction of the present mayors court
this is very difficult on account Of the
fact that only very light fines can
be placed upon offenders. Mayor
Mathis also stressed the fact that, as
this class of offenders is growing, 4
strenuous effort should be made to
prevent such further increase.
Reference was made to the fact
that neighboring cities. many CT
which were even smaller than Ameri-
(cus, have found far more efficient SER
vice in a recorders court than under
the old mayors court.
Considerable time will, OF necessity
be demanded for putting the action

The Mormons have not been defeated
this year. and from the article of football
which they have been putting up lately
they appear TO have the fastest team
that ever represented Utah on the grid

phenomenal success was not due to her

weakness OF the Colorado teams this

"I have lived in Denver all of my life
and have always been an ardent follower
of football and especially OF all the Colo
RADIO teams, and never in the history OF
the state have there been three as strong
teams as now represent the University
of Colorado Colorado college and the
University of Denver. All three teams
have veterans in their nneupS and all
have the same coaches as during the last
several years. The fact that they are
not weak is further established by the

have made against some of The strong

COLORADOANS ADMIT
UTAH'S SUPREMACY.

The Rocky Mountain News says:
"Utah's speed was too much for Colo
RADIO college and the Mormon team de-
feated the Tigers In a spectacular game.
Utah was always a dangerous opponent
and the speed of her backs was often
too much for the Tiger forwards to
stop.
'"rhe Tigers played desperately In the
final five minutes of play, but Utah. all
ways on the alert, broke up forward
passes and trick plays, and tho collegians
could not score. Captain Romney, Ham
ilton and Fitzpatrick played wonder

Tigers had been looked upon as speedy
