Two Archaeological Finds.

Two interesting archaeological dis
coveries have just been made in the
Fen country of England The first is
a sequel to the partial opening of a
low mound at Eye, near Peterborough.
only few feet high, but forty yards
in diameter. The mound. known as
Oliver Cromwell's Hill. was partly ex-
plored last year by Thurlow Leeds, OF
Eyebury, who found evidence that it
was a burial place dating probably
1000 years before the Christian era.
Mr.. Leeds now announces that he has
been able to complete his investiga-
ton, and has found tie skeleton of a
tall man, who must have been buried
more than 1000 year, age no pot
terry or implements were found near
the body. but last years excavation
brought to light a small handmade
pot of coarse ware, traces Of huge
fire, and some bones-possibly reiics
of burial feast or sacrifices.
The second discovery Is that the
district was a waste of waters.

This leaves the cotton stalk entirely

CITY Not Likely to Suffer By
Shortage

While Americus consumes from IOO'-
600 TO 100000 gallons water daily, the
consumption being much greater dur
ing this torrid weather, the supply IS
eoual to the demand and there is no
probability of a shortage. The city $
springs pour 100000 gallons daily into
the reservoir, while Engineer Steph-
ems easily pumps half million gal
Ions additional, even with the old ana
antiouated pumping outfit at his COM
mand. When the water station here
is adequately supplied with the new
boiler and new pumps ordered by the
citv council several months ago, ana
now being built for the city, the water
supply can be pumped by the city at
lust one-half the present cost OF
pumping with the old and worn ma
chinery. This new outfit is to be
maid for out of the bonds money es-
pecially voted for waterworks inn
provement, and which can be spent

READY FOR The

STATE FAIR
5OTH SESSION SOON begins
Notable Success Will Crown
Session

Macon, Ga, Oct, with only three
working days left before the opening
of the fiftieth annual state fair. and
with exhibits pouring in from every
direction, officials of the big enter
prise declare that only the weather
can prevent the event from being the
most successful ever held in the south,
and that the indications point to a
record breaking attendance.
Men and women stood in line this
morning at the fair headquarters
waiting for an opportunity to make
entries and attend to other details in
connection with the fair, while the
morning mail brought more than 200
letters from exhibitors, amusement
men and others who are interested in
the success of the fair.
Secretary Harry Robert today
transferred his headquarters from the
Chamber of Commerce building to the
fair grounds, and in the future two
offices will be maintained Mr. Robert
will be found at the fair grounds for

of the exhibits will be completed by
10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Those
that are finished by that time will be

FIRST Interest
HAS BEEN PAID
ON new BONDS
CITY'S Credit is EXCELLENT
Bonds Should Be Redeemed
Long Before Due

The city has paid its first install
ment of interest on the bonds issued
recently, October I having marked the
date at which the first payment OF
interest was due on the paving bonds.
Instead of having to pay interest on
$4,000, which was the original amount
of the paving bonds, interest was real
ly paid on only $4,000, as $1,000 of
these bonds have already been redeem
ed by the city bond commission. 1t
was also true that interest was paid
on these bonds for only three months,
from the day that they were dated,
July 1, to October /.
the rate of four per cent-was $3.50.
The interest on these bonds is due
semi-annually, on October 1 and Ap-
ril / of each year. When the inter
est next becomes due, April 1, it will
amount, therefore, to exactly twice
the sum paid out October l, or to $3.50.
1t has been so arranged that while
the interest on the paving bonds is
due on October 1 and April 1 of each
year, the interest nthe sewerage
bonds falls due on January l and
July ], of each year, so that interest
on paving and sewerage bonds fall due
alternately every quarter. Of course,
as the bonds are redeemed, the amount
of interest will gradually decrease.
The amount of the sewerage bonds
is the same as was originally that or
the having bonds. each class of bonds
having been issued to the extent OF
4O,0OO. The interest on the sew
erage bonds is also greater than that
on the paving bonds by one-halt OF
one per cent. these bonds drawing
interest at 4 1-2 per cent.
The fact that paving bonds were
redeemed to the amount of $1,000 al
most before they were finally issued
shows the excellence of the clty's
credit. Though the bonds would nor
malIy run for thirty years, drawing IN
terest, they will likely all be redeem
ed long before the expiration OF that
time.
