MERCURY PLAYS
HIDE and SEEK
IN NINETIES
SIZZLING WEATHER RECENTLY
There is No Immediate IDdi-
cation Of Change

4 September weather to date is the
4 real pep, an assertion with which
4 you, perspiring reader, must surely
agree, unless you weigh 300 pounds
and are proof against the gentle and
4 soothing rays of the tropical sun that
has been pouring down its sultry
beams on Americus for some time.
Think about the mercury perched at
s the SO mark Wednesday and Tuesday,
two days in succession, with today
making a third record in maximum
temperature equally as high! That's
the way Weather Observer Harfold has
been doping out the temperature to
A.he heated multitude for September
Ydays up to date, which is practically
half way through what is generally
conceded to be the most severe and
trying heated period of the year.
J To add to the terrors of the heat is
the dry weather that has characterize
ed the month thus far, as the rainfall
for the past two weeks has been so
small as to be practically neglible.
The rainfall amounts altogether to less
than half an inch, which isn't much III
the moisture line when the mercury
freezes onto the ninety notches. The
effects of the heat are being felt very
generally, the dusty conditions of the
streets and roadways of the city serv-
ing especially well to show how the
lack of rain and the hot weather COM
bined with the tearing up of the streets
has served to reduce the resulting sur
face to a fine, red powder that the
winds carry everywhere.
Other effects are seen in the rapid
opening of cotton in the fields, which
is continuing almost as rapidly under
several weeks ago. This is the effect
of the weather that is of most inter-
ed in agricultural conditions. On ne
other hand, the weather has been eX-
ceptionally favorable for the continu-
alton of the paving work, which has
advanced rapidly during the past two
weeks
There are no pronounced indications
at this time that any decided change
in the weather is being brewed away
up among Siberian icebergs, where
changes of this kind are said to orig
mate. Even though there are no i'm
mediate indications of snow, though
some wag registered SO inches of snow
fall on the weather record-think Of
it!-it is well to cheer up, for cool
weather is surely coming.

BOYS MAY
60 AS A fine
EXHIBIT
College EXHIBIT At TIFTON
County Will Probably Not En-
ter For Exposition

When the South Georgia exposition
is in progress at TiftOn this month
Sumter county ma yhave, on one on
more days, an exhibit that will be diff
ferent from that of other counties, but
none the less attractive and effective
as an advertising medium. The featlEe
in question will be the corps of uni
formed and well drilled boys compris-
ing the student corps at the Third Dis
trict Agricultural College.
1t has not been positively determin-
ed that the boys shall attend the Tiff
ton fair, but things are all working 70
that end and it is quite probable that
they will make the trip and probably
give an exhibition drill or two down
there The fair will give the boys a
fine idea of what is being done in an
agricultural way in South Georgia, and
will be a factor in their practical edu-
cation.
Outside of this, it has been posi-
lively decided that the college shah
have an exhibit at the fair of the han
diwork of the boys and>of the agricul-
tural output of the farm. To this may
be added some fine specimens of what
Sumter des in the line if general farm
ing.
1t has not yet been determined that
Sumter shall have a county exhibit at
Iifton, but it is hardly probable now
that such will be the case, although
Professor Cunningham has been en-
powered to get up an exhibit to repre-
sent the varied product of the county.
The shortness of the time available
and the fact that everyone is now 50
extremely busy will probably prevent
Sumter from doing itself justice at the
South Georgia gathering. The Tifton
fair is open September 27-October Z.

THREAT OF ARREST
BROUGHT TO BEAR
Employees of Gas Company
On Docket

Several employees of the local gas
company, both white and cOlored, will
be defendants in police court this
morning in a case growing out of P
attempt to dig a ditch on Jackson
street yesterday in making some
changes in alteration in a pipe con-
nection there, where the street paving
gang is doing preparatory work.
AS that portion of Jackson street is
closed to traffic and in the hands If
the paving contractors entirely, the gas
companys employees were told they
could not dig up the street.
When however, they insisted upon
doing so the police were ordered to
make cases against all concerned. This
was done, and the gas people at once
transferred operations to another part
of the street not yet in the hands OF
the paving company.
The affair created quite little breeze
of interest and excitement for few
minuts.
The city officials state that under
contract with the paving company GER
tain streets are turned over as the
work progresses, and are wholly in
control of that company. THEY alsc
state that notice was given the gas
company on May 29th to make al
changes in its pipe lines that woulC
be required.
Under these conditions the street de
partment will not have the work of tn,

would thus be liable therefor TIL,

ed yesterday will be very interesting

GO TO ALBANY
TO SEE HOSPITAL
AmGriCUS Building Committee
Visits 1t

The building committee of the Amer
j us Hospital, composed of Mrs. c. u
Hawkins, Mrs. R. L. Maynard, Mrs. H.
D. Mashburn and Mrs. Charles VIII
liams, went to Albany yesterday, via
an auto, for the purpose Of inspecting
the new hospital building there.
1t is the desire of the committee 20
secure an idea of the probable cost OF
an up-to-date building for this city and
to get thorough insight into the plans
of hospitals recently erected in cities
of 10000 to 10000 population.
The committee was received courte-
ously and returned laden with valuable
information. 1t is not improbable tha'
some other hospitals may be visited be
fore the Americus hospital plans are
determined on.

Wells and HOW
TO ADJUST Them
At the Least They Must Be
Carefully Chosen

New York, Sept. 13.-About one wo-
man in a thousand realizes the i'm
portance of wearing a veil properly,
and this is by no means the easiest of
things to achieve when hats are of
such curious shapes as they are now,
and have been for some time 1t is
well to avoid cheap wells, and it is un-
wise to wear any veil too long, as it is
extremely bad for the complexion to
wear anything the very least little bit
dusty near the skin.
Cream Brussels ct wells are to be
worn a great deal this autumn and
they have the advantage of washing
like a handkerchief
The Choosing.
Chantilly lace is also in fashion, but
one has to be very careful with what
kind of hat lace wells are worn. A very
big hat with lace veil runs the risk
of looking over-deco, ative and of over
weighting dress worn with it, where
as rather simple toque can be made
to look quite habille when a good lace
veil is arranged round it. Spotted
black and white wells are quite in fa-
vOr and all wells are eased round the
hrim SO as not to touch the face too
closely, fashion which is very COM
Portable while the warm weather lasts.
No one twists the veil into a little
knot beneath the chin, habit which is
as runious to the veil as it is unbecom-
ing to the wearer
The Adjustment.
1t is fairly safe thing to say that
the best way to put on a veil is 20
pucker it in front, attach it to the edge
of the brim, carry the upper edge of
the veil all round the hat, and fasten it
with pin; gather up the lower part,
faSten that, and the veil will then be
hanging quite loose all round the face,
but not in a becoming style for, the
profile probably This, however, can
be made right by two fine hairpins,
which should attach the two back edg-
es of the veil under the brim behind. 1t
is most important that wells should be
carefully folded and put away after
each wearing, and it is a pleasant fash
ion to keep a sachet of rose leaves
among them, so that when brought in
to use they are deliciously perfumed

The CITY'S
BOND Debt
A fine SHOWING FOR YEAR
Paving Debt Reduced Before
the Work Begins

Even before a single block is laid
in the street paving Americus takes i
whack at its bonded indebtedness for
street paving and reduces the amount
of outstanding bonds issued for that
purpose by $6,50O.
The lEople voted $4,000 bonds for
street paving four years ago. Provi-
sion was at once made in the sinking
fund to take care of them But four
years passed before it was finally de-
cided to sell them. BY that time the
sinking fund had an accumulation in
its treasury and it was decided that
there should be a purchase and can
collation. of the new bonds. This was
accordingly done and, as stated, before
a single wood block has been laid the
bond debt for this purpose has been
cut down by fifteen per cent.
The report OF the Bond Commission
is brief but an interesting document.

the city's bonded Indebtedness of $27,-
