ALL WORKING TO LAND
ATLANTA and fulton
Three Candidates For Govern.
or Want That Prize

Atlanta, Nov. 13.-Some attention
was called recently in these dispatches
to the store which the candidates for
governor set by Fulton county. The
fact is more apparent than ever; ev-
cry one of them is working just about
as hard to capture Fulton county as
he is to get the state.
And that is almost the way the can
didates and their friends look at it.
though they don't admit it.
According to the best obtainable
opinion, Fulton county will give the
largest vote either to Judge Russell or
Joe Brown; but Pope Browns friends
are hoping that Russell and Joe
Brown will so split the local option
vote and the anti-Hoke Smith vote,
that it will give him a plurality.
1t will be seen, therefore. that all
the candidates have hopes.
1t will be seen that Fulton county
is a sort of an epitome of the state;
there are some who are banking on
such a split in the local option and
anti-Hoke Smith vote all over the
state, as will give the plurality to the
prohibition candidate.
In fact one of the charges made
against the state Executive Committee,
which is known to be controlled by
Gov. Hoke Smith, is that it fixed up
the plurality plan of nomination, with
out a state convention, for the purpose
of assisting Pope Brown.
And still the candidates have failed
to stir up the usual amount of en-
thusiasm incident to race for Gov
ernCr. Reports from many counties
indicate that General Apathy" is in
the saddle and is carrying the day
cotton is topic of more
serious interest than any political
could possibly be.

new PLANT IS
Being RAPIDLY
GOTTEN READY
TOFURNISH CITY ELECTRICITY
To Be Ready For Use De-
CGmber |, 1t is Said

SO rapidly is the work proceeding
on the new electric plant that is being
installed at the new building owned
by the Americus Gas and Electric
Company. near the local pumping
station that it is confidently expected
by the contractors in charge that the
plant will be ready for use by Decem-
Der l. 1t is likely however, that 1t
will be later than that time before
the work will be entirely completed.
The plant is being equipped in thor
'oughly modern manner as regards both
machinery and general fixtures. A
feature of the mechanical equipment
is the steam turbine that is to be used
in generating electrical power. AL
ready one of these turbines, with a 375
kilowatt capacity has been installed,
while there is sufficient space reserved
for the installation of still another
one.
1t is estimated that between the two
machines, which are capable of carry
ing fifty per cent overload if neces-
sary, the capacity of the electrical
power produced may be made to ap-
proach very closely to 1000 kilowatts,
or what is believed to be sufficient en-
ergy to supply all the needs of Ameri-
Gus for twenty or thirty years to come
The turbines are to be supplied with
steam by large twin boilers, which.
have already been installed, while
there is sufficient space for two others
Both the lower and upper floors Of
the plant are made of reinforced con-
crete, making them both firm and
durable The other fixtures at the
plant are of strictly modern design,
the switchboard being an especially
simple and well-constructed arrange
ment. The management announces
that when the new plant shall have
been completed, the services rendered
the city will be much better and more
dependable than could ever be expect
ed of the old and obsolete plant, which
it is stated, will be entirely abandon

LEE STREET

|ORDINANCE PASSED MONDAY
ITO Be One Of Most Beautiful
DriveWayS in State

Lee street, the most beautiful res
sdance street and driveway in the city
BIS to be paved.
This announcement will be greeted
with pleasure not only by the resi-
5ents along this thoroughfare but also
hv the residents in other sections OF
he city.
Responsive to the sentiment Of a
haiority of the residents along Lee
ktreet, Council last night heard read
had placed upon it's passage and adop-
He'd an ordinance providingg for the
Aaving of this street.
The ordinance came as the result
bf a petition presented to the Council
4o which was attached, according TO
8he estimate of one alderman, ninety
Rercent of the names of the property
holders on Lee street, making the
betition a document expressive OF al
host unanimous sentiment.
The ordinance drafted in harmony
WITH the petition privides that the
p1operty holders along the street shall
Bay the entire expense of the paving
work. This is the only feature OF the
ordinance which is doubtful, as 1t IS
i matter of question in the mnds
nf some as to whether the city has
he right to assess property holders

natter. it is believed, will be

both the city and the property holders,
as sentiment in favor of the paving
If Lee street is shown by the larger
humber of names affixed to the petit
ion to be very strong.
It is provided in the ordinance that
he street shall be paved along It's
Iength from Lamar street to the city
limits, which would give one of the
brettiest stretches of paved drive
way that can be seen anywhere in
his section, as the total length thus
designated is. more than a mile. The
to pave the street has been
gaining gradually in favor for some
time, the petition having been hrst
circulated several weeks ago and haV-
Ing eliminated successfully in the pas
sage of the ordinance last night. Wood
blocks will likely be the material used
ior the pavement, though asphalt and
bitulithic have been favvrably men
tioned.
