COMMISSIONS RATE EXPERT HAS
BEGUN The WORK OF APPRAISAL
Mr. Solomon the Solomon NOFCFOss Company Of Atlanta Has Taken Up the
Work Of pn the Property Of the meicu Gas and Electric Company

AS was announced recently in The
Times-Recorder, Mr.. G. R. Solomon,
member of the firm of Solomon, Nor
cross Company, of Atlanta, began yes
terday the work of appraising the ply
sical properties of the Americus Gas
and Electric Company, in accordance
with the mutual agreement made be-
tween the city and company with that
end in view.
When seen yesterday by a repre-
sentative of The Times-Recorder Nj.
Solomon announced that he would
have nothing to give out for publica-
ton relative to the appraisal, as the
attitude he occupied toward the city
and the company as an expert repre>
sentative of the state railroad COM
mission would not permit him to make
public any of the results of the inves-
tigation which he is now making.
Though he did not arrive until
Thursday evening, Mr.. Solomon was
up yesterday morning and at work
upon the task which has been assign
ed to him. He is not prepared now t.
say how long time will be required
to complete the work of the appraisal,
as he is not sufficiently familiar with
the local plant to form an opinion ~
this early date. 1t is supposed, how
ever that not more than two weeks
will be required, while it is thorough
ly probable that the time may be no
longer than a week.
Mr.. Solomon will not make public
the report, as it will be submitted to
the railroad commission soon as it
is completed. The report, therefore
will not be made known until the
commission gives out its decision in
the matter under consideration rela-
tive to the issuance or non-issuance OF
the $340 900 worth of bonds that have
been asked for by the local corpora
ton.
| AS regards the matter of the length
of time required in making up the re
port, assurance has been given that all
the time required will be employed IL
making the report as thorough, accu
rate and complete as it can possibl?
be made. With the end in view of OBJ
tanning the most accurate information
possible of viewing the local slj
uation fully, Mr.. Solomon has receive
representatives of both the corpora
ton and the city and has discusse'
with them matters in general way.

WILL ROOSEVELT HELP
ELECT A DEMOCRAT?
Sure Defeat Predicted For
Republicans

Washington, March Now that
former President Roosevelt has def
nitely entered the lists agfainst Presi-
dent Taft for the republican nomina-
ton for president. The issue is now
sharply drawn between the two men,
between the standpat and the radical
wings of the republican party, and the
battle will be fought to finish before
the Chicago convention.
Nothing more favorable for Demo-
cratic success at the polls next No
vember could have happened say old
political forecasters here. Roosevelt's
hat in the ring" absolutely assures
the election of democratic president.
The republican party is now split
wide open, and is between the devil
and the sea. The situation is this: Iif
Taft wins the nomination he will have
to run on an old line protective tariff
standpat platform. The radicals in
the party will then either stay away
from the polls or vote the democratic
ticket. If Roosevelt captures the nom
ination the old line republicans will
take no interest in the election in No
vember. Any way it is figured out the
| republicans are in a worse situation
than before the rough rider announced
Neither republican candidate will be
satisfactory to the great independent
vote. Roosevelt is, according to his
Columbus speech, more radical than
a socialist. The people don't want that
kind of man in the white house. Taft
owned bv the protected tariff interests.
is more conservative than any pres-
dent in many years, The people have
already turned down their thumbs for
Taft. The two factions are at daggers
J Two wn This ic shown ~ the laconic
statement of former Speaker Cannon,
who said on being told of Rooseveits
announcement: 81 am a republican:
rot a populist" Cannon is one of the
chief hackers Of the Taft campaign.
Should Roosevelt, by stamnede in
the CHICAGO convention, succeed in cap
turing the nomination, he will be
doomed to a worse defeat at the polls
tNan even Taft. The people of this
country don't want man on horse
back" They don't want any thirc
term presidents. There is no doubt
that Roosevelt, such is his insane am
bition, would, if he could, occupy the
white house for life. He wants third
term. After. that he would want a
fourth term. A little reflection will
convince anybody that Roosevelt is the
most dangerous man in the United
States He would become king if such
a thing were possible. The people

the Boy Scout teams of the two cities

ing been postponed until next Monday
night, when, it is hoped, it may b
pulled off in a most acceptable man
ner.
Secretary Murray Dunn, of the
Young Mems Christian Association has
had the work in hand and has COM
pleted all arrangements for the game
Monday night. The strongest team
that can possibly be gotten together
will be taken to Albany to represent
rhe Americus players. The Albany
management has given assurance that
the most courteous treatment will be
accorded the local players and that
social function that will prove most
enjoyable has been arranged.

Rest Strictly Enjoined upon Pa
tient at His Home.
MAY YET ,iAKE SOME SPEECHES
Tired After Long Railway Journey
He Is Still Irrepressihlo and
Physicians Think Condition
Is improved.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Oct. 2S.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt reached home as hap
py as a boy. Smiling and unassist-
ed, he walked from the private car
which had brought him from Chicago
to the w. Emlen Roosevelt limousine
awaiting him at Syosset, and with a
waved greeting to the few who at
tended his unexpected arrival, was
borne swiftly across the intervening
four miles to Sycamore HilI,
Doctors and Nurses Dismissed.
Now he lies comfortably in his up
stairs room, to which he assembled
with only slight assistance. All four
of the doctors who escorted him
hither and the nurses have been dis
missed for the time being, at his or
der. And the guard of six men placed
at the Sycamore Hill entrance early
in the day was likewise removed.
Nothing about the residence of the ex-
president indicated that all was not
as usual.
Not quite the same assurance, how
ever, was given by the bulletin which
was taken into town by DR.. Alexander
Lambert, shortly after seeing his pa
tient safely in bed, to be issued at
Progressive headquarters. The at
tending physicians were unwilling to
say definitely whether Colonel Roose-
welt could take any further active
part in the campaign. This bulletin
carries the official word as to the
colonel's condition:
coIoneI's Wound Is Open.
Colonel Roosevelt has stood the
Journey well, but, of course, is tired.
The wound is still wide open and
soozing serum. Rest and quiet are
essential to him to avoid possibilities
of wound infection.
s'While Colonel Roosevelt is ex-
tremely anxious to take up the work
of his campaign, we are not willing
to say at this time that that will be
possible"
Through George Emlen Roosevelt
this announcement was also made,
after a consultation with the family:
"The colonel must have one week
Of absolute rest. If he gets that, ne
is likely to be able to make his
speeches. He will make the Madison
Square Garden. speech if he gets the
required rest"
Mr.. Roosevelt added that the doc
tors thought their patient had i'm
proved since leaving Chicago.
When he alighted at Syosset the
colonel was wearing the army great
coat which bore the mark Of the shot.
With Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel and
George Roosevelt, he climbed with a
firm step into the closed automobile
and was driven to Sycamore Hill.
