FINAL APPEAL FOR
THE CLEANING DAY
Chairman of Committee in
Charge Makes Final
Statement Today.
One last word of appeal.


On Monday, April "a, we defined to
the public the coupon plan, adopted
for this years Cleaning Crusade.
We repeat few points in order to
be clearly understood by all interested.
Since the above date the city pa
pers have published the agreement for
premises in best possible order by
May s." allowing ten days of grace"
for the fulfillment of the pledge. The
school children were instructed on
Friday the 2Sth to collect these cou-
pons. Members of the Civic Commit
tees interested them first in seeing
the advantages OF clean surroundings
and then found them willing enthus-
lasts to win prize for themselves and
their ward. They were told of the
generosity of two of our florists, Geo.
Cause and Fred Lemon. who had kind
ly offered the committee one thous-
and plants as premiums These are to
be distributed according to merit, in
proportion to the number of coupons
each child collects.
As to the expenditure of the $25 ap-
propriated by the Commercial club to
be used in the ward making the best
showing in coupons, some wards have
already decided upon what improve
ment they will suggest to the commit
tees in charge. Some want rubbish
receptacles, some want the prize to
serve as an initial fund for oiling or
sprinkling their streets, some want
their trees doctored, some want a me-
dal.
Tomorrow is Cleaning Day" (cou-
pons must all be at the Commercial
club rooms by 5 o'clock p. M
The Civic committees make a final
appeals your yard clean?-Is your
conscience clear?
Residents of Richmond rally to the
Mayors call!
The associations have all zealously
urged cooperation, the children have
clamored for coupons, the police have
scrutenized with all compelling eyes.
Like Atlanta, whose plane we initiate
let us close the campaign with veri-
table whirlwind-one which will prove
of direful disaster to dirt-one which
will drive away every vistage of indif-
ference to a cause which would bless
every being in our beloved city
bringing brightness and beauty to ev-
cry heart and home.
In behalf of the Committee,
Mrs. F. w. Stephens. Chairman.

DATE NAMED
FOR PAVING
TO COMMENCE
FOUR MONTHS TO COMPLETE
August rs Selected For Be-
ginning Of Work

At last paving matters seem to have
taken definite shape, so that the day
when the beginning of the paving work
will be made is very close at hand. Mr..
r NJ Hudson, who is the representa-
tive of the Creosoted Wood Block Com
pany in charge of the paving work here
announced yesterday that the paving
work would begin Monday week, Aug
ust 2S.
Orders for all the paving materials
needed to make a beginning in the
work have been placed, and definite
information has been received that
these supplies will reach Americus
without fail during the coming week.
Mr.. Hudson said that the work of paw
ing might really begin during the com
ing week, if it were not for the fact
that nothing is to be gained by having
the streets torn up before all materials
and arrangements have been perfected
For that reason he thought wise to de-
fer the day for commencing the work.
There will be, however, certain pre-
liminary preparations made during The
coming week, which Mr.. Hudson would
not call the real beginning Of the paw
ing work. In speaking of the time
that will likely be required to com
plete the paving, Mr.. Hudson said that
he thought four months would be sufFi
cient That would make the compile
tion of the paving work come about the
close of the year

hydrants heretofore used only had two
hose connections, for direct water
pressure from the mains. The new hy-
drants have two connections of this
kind, and in addition a larger connec-

ped, the department can throw four
streams upon a fire from any corner
hydrant instead of two streams, as at
present, the steamer supplying the
two streams additional.

British Government Trying to
Settle Differences

London, August 1S.-The struggle
between the railway companies and the
striking union employees is on in dead
earnest today.
Thousands have obeyed the strike
order and other thousands have coh-
tinued at work. The companies are
operating their principal trains under
modified schedules.
The government and the board 81
trade are continuing their efforts to-
ward peace, but without indications
of immediate success.
There has been rioting at Birming-
ham, Dedby, Sheffield and at Llanelly

lament did not adjourn as has beer
expected today but will continue pre-
pared to adopt any emergency legisla

CROP RUINED BY RAINS;
FARMERS ARE ALL BLUE
Sea Island Crop Is Almost a
Failure

Valdosta, August 1S.-The finest pros
poets the farmers of the sea island co.,
ton belt have known in many years
bids fair to be ruined by the excessive
rains which have fallen during the
past three weeks. Up to that time the
cotton growers could not have looked
for better seasons or better crops, bat
the daily rains which began the lat
ter part of July have played havoc
with the crop. Short staple cotton
has suffered more than the long staple,
and it is believed that the former has
been cut off fully so per cent.
