We find growing demand for ref
erence books and periodicals by our
school teachers and pupils. as well as
the reading public residing outside of
the corporate limits of the City Of
Americus This matter having been
presented to the Grand Jury by a COM
mittee from the Carnegie Library, we
recommend that our County Commits.
sioners appropriate for this purpose
the sum of $500 per month for the
next year.
We further find that the Office of
Treasurer of Sumter County is an alb
solutely useless and expensive one, en-
failing a loss to the taxpayers of over
100000 per year. We therefore rec
ommend that our representatives in
the General Assembly introduce and
urge for passage a general bill, with
special application to Sumter county,
looking to the adjustment of this Of
lfice.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in the Americas

rapher be paid for transcribing them.
We also desire to express our thanks
to His Hoacr, Judge Littlejohn, for
his courtesies to this body, and also 10

County Commissioners and our very
efficient superintendent any and all as
sistance possible in maintaining the
roads by the use of wide tire wagons
and by reporting to the proper par

From our observations We believe

Grand Jury on public roads, beg 20
Submit our report, as follows
We find all of the first class newly
graded roads in fine condition; little
if any room for improvement. There
are few bridges on these roads which
should have attention.
The second and third class roads are
an average. They are bad in many
places, as are also the bridges over
.creks, branches and gullies. Some of
these roads in places are made bad by
the farmers blowing in them and US
ing the roads for turning places for
their plows This should be prevent
ed. We recommend that these roads
and bridgs be put in condition as soon
as practicable, to accommodate those
who have to use them, until such a
time as they can be properly graded.
We recommend that the county com
missioners number or name each ano
every first-class road in the county
and record the same in a book kept
for that purpose in order TO get the
benefit of the law against trespassers.

DE PACHMANN, GREAT PIANIST,
TO PLAY HERE NEXT TUESDAY

Vladimir de Pachmann. the renowned
pianist, owes much of his great fame
to his extraordinary personality and
because he possesses the art of i'm
pressing that personality on the public.
In art, personality, individuality is the
only thing that tells. In piano playing
one may have the most wonderful
finger technique Of n player in the
world, a memory that includes a roper
tory Of a thousand pieces. but unless
he has personality he does not COM
the attention of the great public.
That is one reason why the mechanical
piano-player can never take the place
of the artist. The piano-player can do
all that the artist can accomplish. but
1t cannot give that subtle. indefnable,
but very real thing that n calls per-
sonality. And it is just here that De
Pachmann is supreme. He overhows
with individuality. Everything that he
does is characteristic Art is a great
deal, but human nature-particularly
human rs ture that is unusual and full
of supreme charms greater still De

present for the first time in this city
the mammoth production of Mutt
n jeff" a dramatization Of Bud
Fishers cartoons or the same name,
which at the present time are pro-
voking laughter all over the entire
country. This play was constructed
for laughing purposes, and it is said to
keep the audience in a constant uproar
from the rise to the fall of the inal
curtain. 1t is one of the biggest pro,
auctions sent on the road in a great
many years, Mr.. Hill having spent in
the neighborhood of SIS, 900 in prepar-

play, h piece being filed with com
edy situations, songs and ensembles.
The members of the cast have been
particularly chosen, especially the char
acters of Mutt ard Jeff. In their Sc

characters for those parts that are
well nigh perfection. The entire COM

large number of supernumeraries in the

contingent of pretty girls.

STUDENTS RIOT IN
ILLINOIS THEATRE
Unrnly Mob of 500 Breaks Up
Vaudeville Performance at
Champaign.

| CHAMPAIGN. ILL.,, Nov. 25.-Univer-
sity of Illinois students broke down the
doors of the Orpheum vaudeville the
atre here last night and sought to gain
admission to he performance in
progress. Beaten back by policemen
and theatre attaches they renewed the
attack at intervals.
The siege had as its climax the
kindllng of a bonfire under the build
ing. Employees of the house discoy-
cred the blaze before it had an oppor-
tunity to spread and put it out before
the smell of burning wood had pene-
trated to the audience.
Many cracked heads were the result
of the melee at the doors, the police
and employees welding clubs with
telling effect upon the mob.
Vaudeville teams sought bravely TO
continue their acts while the lombard
ment of the front Of the house was
maintained. Several hundred students
inside added to the confusion by stand
ing on their seats and crying Let
them inl"
The advance on the theatre resulted
from a large athletic mass-meeting at
the university, from which 500 stu
dents paraded to the business section
and made for the theatre.
The affair is deplored by student
leaders, who see a blot on the annual
home coming celebration and its pos
sible abolition by the faculty as a
punishment.
