PLEA is MADE FOR
DURABLE PAVEMENT
Question Of Maintenance is
Emphasized

(Vicksburg Evening Post, June29th.)
In view of the fact that the City
Fathers are to receive, on Monday
night, bids for the paving of Grove
and Belmont streets, the question of
the material with which these streets
should be paved is again being agitat-
ed. Wherever there is a choice to 0e
made, you will find that there are va
rious opinions, and especially among
those who are not thoroughly conVer-
SAINT with the subject When this sub
ject was formerly under discussion,
various opinions were obtained, sup
porting this or that material.
wish to call the attention Of the
City Fathers and also that of the
property owners to the fact that with
in the last several years, there has
been organized body of city officials
called the Organization of City Of
ficials for Standardizing Paving Spec
ifications.'
In the report to be found on page
IS of the proceedings for the year
1910, the following recommendations
were made with reference to guaran-
tees:
list. That all payements, any por-
tion of which is constructed of mate.
riaIs of a perishable nature, among
which we would include asphalt, btu.
lithic or bituminOuS macadam and
wood block, or other pavement requir-
! ing special equipment to lay and
maintain. and also such pavements ds
are of patent or proprietary nature
new or more or less experimental IN
character, shall be required to be
maintained for a period of five 90
years from the first day of July mex
following completion.
end. That all payements composed
of materials more durable in charact
er, among which we would include
stone block, yitrified brick and wei
established Portland cement cOncrett
pavement shall be required to b.
maintained for period of one (1)
year from the first day of July mex
following the completion"
1t will thus be seen which are anC
which are not, the durable payements
The above quotation is an unbiased
report of those who are conversan
with the subject. 1t goes without say
ling, that neither the city nor the prop
cry owners are in position to ge
anything else than durable pave
ment. Neither can afford, say, within
ten qF twelve years. to pay for an
lother( pavement.

ANOTHER Big WEEK AT
THE OPERA HOUSE
Coronation of King George in
Moving Pictures

Americus will be among the first
cities in this country to put on NOV
ing pictures covering the recent coro-
nation of England's new king and
queen. But Manager Dudley is al
ways enterprising, and Americus pie
ture patrons can all "ge to the coro-
nation" and without crossing the
ocean.
Only cross Forsyth street, and you
will see it at the opera house just as
it was in London.
There will be no pictures Monday
night, as the opera house will be used
by Bishop Turner for his address in
behalf of a negro hospital in Ameri-
Gus, but on every other night this
week there will be plenty doing
Tuesday night, the pictures aud
vaudeville will be unususty good
Billy LaCeIles comes in great act
one that has worked over 200 weeks
in the South, playing return dates II
every house. Billy LaCelles is a great
song composer, and has a reward Of
500 for any subject he can't com
pose a song on in two minutes time.
The moving pictures will be up to
the high standard, and toward the lat
ter part of the week the great cele-
bration of King Geooge V. of England
will be brown on the screen.

HE'LL IS REAL"
SAYS L0CKAART
EVANGELIST'S SERMON MADE A
PROFOUND IMPRESSION ON A
GREAT AUDIENCE.

| Hell is as certain as sin," was the
incontrovertible argument Evangelist
w. j. LQckhart persisted in weaving
into his sermon last night at the
Davis Street Christian church. The
discourse was replete in vivid word
pictures of the consequences Of sin
and the certainty OF the punishment
for sin. "You try to reason heir away.
but until you can reason sin away
don't come to me and tell me there is
no hell said the speaker. Until
Ottumwa has been purged of sin; I'M
til your houses of infamy have been
closed; until your saloons, with their
damning and blighting curse, have
been removed; until the social sins
that have disrupted so many homes
have ceased; until your little boys
upon the street no longer vie with one
another to see who can use the most
profanity. don't come to me and say
there is no hell. Sin is hell and sin
plus eternity is the hell the bible
describes. It is no 'easant task I
have to bring you this warning to-
night. but I am not responsible for
the gospel am only responsible for
the way I present it. You ask me,
is there hell? I turn to the word of
God. and he who hath ears to hear
let him hear"
Then for number of minutes the
evangelist read passage after passage
from the bible, ending each with the
statement, He that hath ears to hear
upon the audience.
'You ask me is there a hell and
say there is no doubt Of this for the
bible teaches that there is But leav-
ing the book moment l want others
to testify. You ask me is there hell
and l turn the question back at you
and ask you to go to that man behind
the bars and ask him is there hell.
Go to that poor ashen faced woman of
the street and ask her is there hell
Go to that poor diseased and hopeless
one upon whom the consequences Of
sin have already come and ask Is there
a hell?
But you say does not the bible
speak of hell f1guratively? Yes, the
bible used the strongest, figuratively,
that the inspired writer's
could command when talking Of both
heaven and hell but this does not
make hell less real. 1t only makes it
the more certain. For back of the
figure is the awful fact"
Tonight is expected to bring large
of converts and on Friday
evening there will be special service
in honor of mother. All sons and
are asked to come and do
honor to mans first and best friend.
All are asked to wear white flower
in honor of motherhood. E. c. Tucker
man of Chicago, the chorus director is
special musical program
for Friday evening. A mass meeting
for men only will be held Sunday
afternoon at o'clock. Last night the
greatest audience that has been in the |
Davis Street church since it was |
dedicated gathered to hear Evangelist !
