STATE AUDITOR
BILL KILLED
BY SMITH
MEASURE NOT COMPLETE
Declares Such An Officer Is
Needed

Atlanta, Aug. 23.-Gov Smith last
night vetoed the bill for state audi
tor introduced in the House by Joe
Hill Hall of Bibb His principal rea-
sons, set forth in the statement he
makes in vetoing it are;
The bill provides that no money
shall be paid out of the treasury OTTER
its passage except in pursuance to its
ters. To approve the bill if it can
not be executed with the machinery
furnished, would be to stop the mas
Chinery of the state.
There is no provision for the salary
of the auditor, no appropriation for
his assistants, and no assistants, legal
ly provided for"
Gov Smith expressed the opinion
that an auditor for the state was need
ed and said he regretted that the form
III which the measure passed made il
necessary for him to deny it.

GREAT TEST OF ROADS
IS MADE IN AMERICUS
-Four Mules Pull Fourteen
Bales of Cotton

Four mules pulled fourteen bales
cotton from the Rylander plantation
to Americus yesterday and made the
trip of five miles as easily as though
the load had been one instead of four
teen bales. The trip to Americus sol-
sumed little less than an hour.
Can any county beat that on a good
roads proposition?
The fourteen bales were delivered
at divers warehouse and really at
tracted little attention, so accustomed
are people to seeing huge loads of cot
ton drawn here by two mules or four,
as the case may be.
In fact the number of mules pulling
the load make little difference, as two
can pull more bales now than eight
mules in years agone when the roads
were bad. Evidence of this is had in
the fact that a team of two mules pull
ed eleven bales here once a distance
of five miles.
A little momentum is all that is re-
quired to move a load on a Sumter
county highway, no matter the num-
Der of tons weight contained.

TO HOLD FOR

COOPERATION IS ADVOCATED
Senators Advise Farmers to
Stand For Higher Prices

Washington, Aug. 23.-"Hold cot
ton for 13 cents" is the advice to be
formally given to farmers organiza-
tions by a committee consisting of
Senator's Williams, of Mississippi and
Owen of Oklahoma, and Representa-
tive Burleson of Texas, representing
a conference of senators and repre-
sentatives from seven cotton growing
states.
A committee will urge the state
banking associations to cooperate
against the ''bearish movement of the
spectators.
What was referred to generally as
the Threatening condition of the cot
ton market" was thoroughly discuss
ed at meetings today and last night.
Among the participants We're Sena-
tors Williams and Owens and Repre-
sentative Underwood, of Alabama,
democratic leader of the house; Rep
|resentatives Heflin of Alabama,
Brantley and Hughes, of Georgia !;
Burleson and Beall, of Texas, Garrett
of Tennessee, Humphreys of Mississip
pi. and Small of North Carolina.
A number of them are large cotton
planters. The committee issued a
statement, whichread:
1T seemed to be the opinion of all
that there was preconcerted effort
being made, principally through the
instrumentality of the speculatives
element of the New York cotton ex-
change, to break down the price OF
cotton. 1t was the opinion of all that
the present statistical condition Of
cotton did not justify the lowness Of
present quotations, and that the esti-
mate Of fifteen millions of bales wuE
urjust,Eed by any facts upon which
la prediction could be made"

reads, was also requested to comml-
nicate i'll some way with the prest-
dents of the several state banking as
sCciatiOns in the cotton states asking
them to throw as far as possible their
moral and financial support behind
the effort to neutralize the bearish
movement of the spectators with the
view of obtaining a fair price for the
farmers cotton.
information was given at the in
formal conference that assurance
would be given to President Barrett
or to southern banks that ample
funds from banks outside of the
South could be had through the in
strumentality of southern financial in
st1tutions to be lent at the rate of s
per cent. per annum to those who did
not wish to dispose of their cotton at
sacrifice upon cotton warehouse
certificates. This committee subse-
quently met in the office of Senator

new PLANT
IS NOW Being
PUT IN SHAPE
old One GOES TO DISCARD
New Interests In Electric
Company at Work

A new electric lighting and power
plant is now being installed in the big
new power house of the Americus
Lighting Company, over by the city
waterworks, and in about niety days
the use of the old plant will be dis
continued and the city lights and pri-
vate consumers, both of lights and If
power, will be supplied from the new
plant
Two car loads of new electrical ma
chinery have come to the company
and a force of workingmen are now
engaged in placing it in position. A
large steam turbine, manufactured by
the Allis-Chalmers Company, for gen.
Grating electricity, is being placed on
the fifteen feet high foundations that
rise up from the ground floor of the
power house almost to a parallel with
the second floor. AS soon as this is
in place the generator, which is also
OIi manu. Will Dt lASIdIi0us IL ID VI
975 killowatt power, or five hundred
horse power. The switch board, 4
six panel marble one, will next be in
stalled in the same room.
This apparatus will provide six
times the electrical output of the old
plant now in use, In addition, it is
stated, duplicate turbine and genera
tor will be put in the power house,
directly alongside of this new outfit,
SO that the plant will be equipped to
furnish twelve times the electricity
of the old plant, now soon to be discar
ded as obsolete and unsuited for a
city the size of Americus.
Other parts of the new outfit are
yet to arrive and there will be neces~
sary piping to order to order on spec
iications when the machinery now on
hand is placed in position. 1t is ac-
cordingly calculated that it will be
fully ninety days before connection
with the old plant can be cut off and
that with the new one turned on.
The recent bad breaks at the old
plant give especial significance to
the fact that the new machinery IS
now being installed.
When the new apparatus is all N
the company will be in position, it is
announced, to furnish ample electric
power for industrial plants at tempt
ing price. This is something Ameri-
Gus has waited for for years.
In addition to the improvement in
the electric service the new parties in
terested in the company, which is to
be re-chartered and reorganized, pro-
pose improving the supply facilities
for the gas department. An eight
inch supply pipe will succeed the six
inch one from the gas plant to Lamar
street. On Cotton avenue a four inch
line will succeed the present inch
pipe. o nChurch, Brown, and Taylor
streets, and thence to the shops, a six
inch supply pipe will replace the two
inch one there now. The four inch
line on Lee street will be extended
from Bell street to the city limits. New
service connections will also be put
in in the area that is to be paved, not
only to the houses of present consum-
ers but to all vacant lots and prem
ises not yet using gas. The work of
laying the new gas mains is also now
under way.

POISONING BY GAS

Illuminating gas has caused 'more deaths in some States recently than have scarlet fever, infantile paralysis or typhoid fever. In Massachusetts and Rhode Island it. has become an important cause of death and serious sickness. In 1909 the death-rate for measles in Massa chusetts was 4.76 and that for scarlet fever 786, figures ex- ceeded Or approached by the deaths from gas poisoning in Rhode Island in 1908 and in Massachusetts in 1907. The deaths from this cause have rapidly Increased in Massachusetts since the repeal of the law regulating the amount of carbon bonoxid in gas, ac- cordlng to Professor Sedgwick of the massachusetts Institute of Technology, In his paper read before the Massa- chusettS Association of Boards of Health. In the fifty years preceding the repeal of the law twenty years ago, there were not a dozen cases of gas poisoning. Since that time there have been more than 1,2O0. The rem edy, according to The Journal of the American Medical Associa tion, is to go back to the old-fashioned coal-gas and to prohibit the manufacture of Water-gas. Coal-gas is still used in many places and is. said to be little, If any, more costly than the exten- s1vely used water-gas, though ii is somewhat more troublesome fo make Of course the mortality statistics do not tell all of the damage done by gas poisoning; permanently bad eff fectS are often left even when if is not fatal, but the fatalities alone make the matter of poisoning by il- !um1natlng gas one we'll worth atten- tion
