SILL'S SPECIAL SALE
ON MONDAY MORNING
Bargains in Clapp Shoes and
E. 8 ". Shirts

Discriminating buyers will have a
rare opportunity offered them Mon
day when the special sale of some of
the choicest offerings in shoes and
shirts will be offered to the public.
at the special sale to open at S. J..
Sills.
The sale begins Monday morning,
but the quality of the articles Of
fered and the very low prices at
which they will be put on sale will
serve to close them out in very
short time.
No introductions is needed to Ed
win Clapp shoes, as they are known
everywhere as the acme of perfection
in shoes as regards style, quality,
wear and general desirability. There
are only few of these excellent
shoes to be offered at the low prices
quoted in the big ad, which appears
elsewhere in this issue of The Times
Recorder.
Another item that will appeal to the
man who likes the very best things
to wear, are the Earl and Wilson
shirts that will be offered at sacri-
fee price during the big sale. These
shirts are Of the very latest, neatest
and best patterns, so that at the
price they are offered they are excep-
tional values. E. & w. is name to
conjure with, so don't forget these
genuine bargains.
There are some other choice items
to be offered at the sale, but these
are the most alluring and are OF
such extraordinary worth as to in
vite the earliest attention of any one
who wishes a few pairs of the best
shoes or shirts that the market af-
fords. The sale will begin Monday
morning and will last for several
weeks, or until the goods have beer
closed out.

MAYOR FAVORS
KEEPING Dogs
OFF STREETS
ANIMALS A PUBLIC NUISANCE
Thinks An Additional Ordi-
nance is Needed

81 am in favor of keeping all dogs
off the streets of the city, not only oa
account of the protection of the peo-
pie of the city, but also on the gem
eral principle of cleanliness and de-
cency."
This was the manner in which May
or Mathis yesterday summed up the
situation as regards the canine pop
ulation of the city, which has been
made a burning issue since the re-
cent unhappy meeting of bull ter
rier and setter at the corner Of
Jackson and Lamar streets.
The purpose of such an ordinance
would be to protect the people of IT,
city and to prevent the presence Of
so many dogs on the streets, which IS
in itself a nuisance. The ordinance
now on the city code, providing that
no dog shall be allowed on the streets
without the payment of license OF
$3.50 was passed some time ago for
the purpose of obtaining revenue for
the city, but the ordinance suggested
would not have this in mind, but the
general betterment of the city in the
way of decency.
"One on the streets of Atlanta, for
instance, does not see dog running
loose. Dogs may be found, of course,
but they are in leash, and discretion
and common sense is exercised in
keeping them from proving public
nuisances. That is the additional or
dinance which we need here, it seems
to me, as the present ordinances,
which have been allowed to become
dead-letter, cover all the ground
but that. l heartily favor keeping al
dogs off the streets of the city"
The ordinances to which referenc,
was made by 'fo~c. Mathis have
been .rci0do7 NJ the city code a!
rector 2G4 Of that volume, and are al
fellows:
1T shall be unlawful for any own
er of a dog to allow the same on tn
streets of Americus, without first oh
tanning from the clerk and treasure
badge for said dog at cost of ON
dollar and fifty cents. Any dog al
pearing without such badge shall
impounded. Said dog may be redeem
ed by the owner within seven days o
the payment of penalty of $1.5O.
not so redeemed such dog or dog
may be sold for not less than the in
pounding fee, or put to death.
"No bull dog or other dog of viciou
nature shall be allowed to run loos
on the streets of the city"

WILL give CARNEGIE
IMMUNITY BATH
When He TGStifieS viii Clear
His Skirts

Washington, D. c., January lat
is the opinion of members of the
committee and of other lawyers IN
congress that when Mr.. Carnevie
leaves the witness stand after COM
pleting his testimony before the con-
gressional committee, he will take
with him complete immunity, as far
as government prosecution is con-
cerned.
Here is the law upon which they
base their belief:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives in congress
assembled, That under the immunity
provisions in the act entitled An Act
to Testimony Before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and so forth,
approved February 21, 1893, In sec
tion of the act entitled "An Act to
Establish a Department OF Commerce
| and Labor" approved February Ia
1903. and in the act entitled An Act
Making Anpropriation for the Legisla-
tive Executive and Judicial Govern
ment for the Fiscal Year Ending June
80, 1904, and for Other Purposes, lnf~
munity shall extend only to naturai
person who in obedience to sub~
poena gives testimony under oath or
produces evidence, documentary o.
otherwise. Approved June 80, 1904.

TO GIVE GIRLS A
chance TO PROPOSE
Convention viii Be Held at
LaGrangG

Savannah, Jan. 12.-In order to give
impetus to leap year proposals it has
been arranged to hold a bachelors
and maids convention at La Grange,
at which the unmarried will gather
from all parts of Georgia and Eastern
Alabama A number of prominent cit
liens are interested in the undertake
Ing.
Mayor John B. Edmundson has
promised to preside, while Justices
]. D. Gaffney and Robert L. Young
will be on hand to perform marriage
ceremonies. Cut rates on licenses will
be given during the convention The
county commissioners have donated
the use of the courthouse auditorium
during the last two days in January.
A number of bachelors and bachelor
girls in Troups county have entered
heartily into the plan. The matter
was originated as a jest but it is now
certain that such a convention will be
held.
Those back of the movement are OF
the opinion that bashfulness is the
only reason why there are bachelors
in the county at all, and that if the
girls are given the proper opportun-
ity during leap year there will be "A
speedy change in conditions.
