ATTENDANCE
At COLLEGE
EXCELLENT
MANY new PUPILS EXPECTED
After the Christmas Holidays
Are Over

According to the statement made
yesterday by Superintendent ]. NJ.
Collum, of the Third District Agricul-
tural and Mechanical school, the at
tendance at that institution has been
maintained better this term than ever
in its history.
The fall term is usually one of
wedding out the pupils who have Lo,
come to stay or who for any reason
decide to leave the school after tria'
There are fewer of these this term
than have ever been known while the
number of those who will be in at
tendance for the next term is greater
This Is an encouraging omen to the
superintendent, who sees in it a ten
dency on the part of the school to at
tract only those students who are wor-
thy and determined in their desire to
gain an education.
A large number of additional stu
dents are expected after the Christ
mas holidays. This has always been
true, and it is thought that the post
holiday attendance fhis yaar will he
greater than ever. A large number Of
new students are expected to matric-
ulate at the institution in January,
when the new term opens. Otherwise
there is but little out of the even tenor
of affairs at the school aside from the
fact that the students are looking for
ward with anticipation to the Christ
mas holidays, which come soon.

DROUTH TODAY AMONG
SOFT DRINK CONSUMERS
Lid is Now on Against These
Dealers

With the cid" battened down tight
upon the soft drink proposition, as
the result of the recent action of the
grand jury in returning indictments
for Sunday selling, there is going to be
a Sahara-like drought in Americus to-
day. Water will flow freely, but there
will be no dope available. The man
who heretofore has purchased his fav-
orite soft drink, openly, at any one of
a dozen cafes or other places, will
probably have to go without it to-
day.
Upon the charge of having violated
1.-THE law prohibiting Sunday selling,
the grand jury the past week indicted
several local dealers, if not all of
them, who sold soft drinks on Sunday
This action will have the effect of put
ting an end to such sales for the pres
ent, or until the cases are disposed of
1t is a debatable question whether
or not the proprietor of restaurant
or hotel has not the right to serve
soda water, ginger ale, coca cola oil
Z
other like drinks to patrons, as mucl
so as he would have to serve them cof
fee, tea or milk, as such articles arr
as much in demand as others. -

GINNERS' REPORT
IS NOW AWAITED
With INTEREST
IT WILL APPEAR TOMORROW
Statistics For Past Years are
Given

Americus cotton men, buyers and
warehousemen alike await with inter-
est the government report upon gin
ming, which will be issued tomorrow
morning. This report will give the
total number of bales of cotton giii-
ned this season to December list. The
report, it is anticipated, will have =
direct bearing upon the market and
rices will be governed thereby.
The following comparative figures
were compiled by Mr.. c. j. White, and
gives accurately the number of bales
ginned to December 1st for the past
six years; the percentage, for each
year to that date, and the total giu-
ming for each year.

TOMORROW IS
BEGINNING OF
THIRD WEEK
OF SUPERIOR COURT HERE
BlakGy Case is First on the
Docket

With tomorrow begins the third
week of the current session of supe-
rior court and, like the week just end
3s ed, this one will be devoted to the
sIAtrial Of cases upon the criminal dock
li39t. A large number have been dis
gsposed of already, and those remain
Ang upon the docket will likely be
s9ried this week.
;fHltf The Blakey case is the special or
der for Monday morning, having been
I assigned for trial at ten o'clock or as
Il 1soon thereafter as possible. This time
4 was fixed because of the coming of
i many witnesses, who are expected
sNard the Seaboard train arriving at
10 'oS9er.
The pBlakey case was assigned for
trial Inst Thursday, but owing to the
fact th9lI OtuOI eases pI6C6u6u II upOIi
the criSNna docisct and, at the request
of states counsel, postponement un-
til Mondasy was granted. There is ev,
cry reassN to believe that the case
will be ENN for trial Monday morn
ing. %YA
W. B. Blake1 it will be remembered,
was indicted b the grand jury two
weeks ago for tn X killing of the Greek
Snowman, spiridoA svoronos, here re-
Gently. He will BeArepresented by
Shipp & Sheppard and L. J. Blaloci;,
Esq, while Solicitor General Will
liams will conduct the prosecution.
A large array of witnesses will testi-
fly in the case, the trial of which will
consume a day or two, and the pro-
ceedings will be of interest
During the past week convictions
followed in a number of criminal cases
tried in superior court, and in impos-
ing sentence upon defendants a term
in the gang or in Jail was invariably
given them, with the alternative OF
paying fine after having served at
least portion of the gang sentence
imposed.
In this way negro convicted Of
crime has to experience some punish
ment therefor even though his fine is
paid afterwards by some one wanting
him as a laborer This procedure, t
is expected, will have a deterrent eff
feet upon class who, heretofore, have
had here fines paid just as soon as
imposed. The grand jury will meet
again Wednesday and, quite likely,
complete this week all business for
this session of court.
