Should ADD
TO The CITY'S
WATER SUPPLY
when WELL IS COMPLETED
Work is Progressing Very
Well

A very valuable addition to Amer,cus
water supply is expected in the com
rletion of the twelve-inch we'll now
being drilled at the pumping station,
and upon which good progress is being
made by Engineer Stevens and his as
sistants. The we'll, under favorable
conditions, should be completed with
in a few weeks.
Already a depth of 1870 to 200 feet
has been attained Recently the drill
struck a ledge of unusually hard
rock, ten feet in thickness, and a long
time was required to bore through it,
but the task was accomplished. I'M
mediately beneath the ledge of stone
g deep strata of water-bearing sand
was encountered, and from this the
working forces are pumping sand and
water, as the drill works downward.
At depth of 100 feet the twelve-inc>
casing was reduced to ten-inch size,
and this is now being put in as fast as
possible.
Should this we'll prove a success, as
contemplated, it will add largely to
the city's water supply as it will oe
of so much larger size and capacity.
The other wells in use at the pumping
station are all three or four inches IN
diameter.

During the present year the growth
of the Country club has been most
gratifying to those who have been
most concerned in bringing about the
success of the club. The growth in
membership and general popularity Of
this we'll known social organization
here has, indeed, been marked and
encouraging to the management.
BY careful management and the un-
firing efforts of some who have been
connected with the club from its es-
tablishment and who have labored
increasingly to make it permanent
addition to the social life of the COM
munity, success has been achieved,
and the club is now practically self
sustaining Certain changes, how
ever, have been decided upon recent
ly in order to reduce the expenses of
the club where such eXpenss are edem-
ed unnecessary.
At a recent meeting of the board
of directors of the club these mat
ters. were discussed carefully and GER
tain plans of procedure decided upon
by the directors. Mr.. Clarence J.
White, secretary of the club, has re-
corded the sentiment OF these discus
sions in his minutes for the meeting,
and they are given herewith in full
"The directors of the Country club
held meeting Tuesday morning and
decided that in the future that the
club house must be closed at o'clock,
q. M, without exception. This will
not meet with the approval of the
younger society set who like to dance
until the wee sma' hours, but the di-
rectors take the position that if they
want to have dances and other par
ties of longer duration that they can
start earlier in the evening, but must
stop at one o'clock.
ut was also decided that rental
of ten dollars would be required Of
all members using the club house for
dances, parties or entertainments
{ ther than suppers or dinners, be-
tween the hours of p. m. and ! a. m,
when other than members are invit-
ed. This charge is made to defray
the cost of lights and service and $

Membership is Growing Rapidly, and the Influence Of the

Than at any Time in Its History Is Popular Here

be made when only members are pres
ent.
THE directors are determined to
put stop to any one carrying intox-
icants to the club and havt passed
stringent rule that any one found
guilty of having intoXicants not only
at the club house, but on the clcb
property during an entertainment 1T
any kind where there are ladies pres
ent that If the kuilty person is
member, he will be suspended indefi-
ritely, and if a guest the courtesy Of
the club will be withdrawn from him
in the future. There has been re-
markably little of this at the Country
club, but the directors are going to
see that there is none at all: and
members OF the club that the very
few cases that have been reported to
the directors have been guests and
not members
"The bylaws in reference to nom
resident members were changed SO
that any one living outside of the 9th
district may become a nonresident
member. eretofore only persons liy-
ing outside of Sumter county could
come in under this head"
The Country club is growing in
popularity every day, and is not only
one of the most important factors in
the social life of Americus, but has
developed into necessity to the busi-
ness life of the city, and owing to
the liberal policy of the directors Is
almost public institution and is en-
titled to the support of all the people.
few public-spirited men have been
carrying the clug during it's infancy
and have put it on a good substantial
basis and have made it credit to this
community. There are a great many
people in Americus who are not menu
bers that should by all means help d
necessary institution like the Countrv
club and the directors would be glad
to have their applications for member
ship.
The officers and committees of the
club are as follows:
President, Crawford Wheatley; vica
