NEAR COAL FAMINE
HIT CITY YESTERDAY
Supply Of This Fuel Here is
SClrCe

Americus shivered yesterday as at
no other time this season, not that
the weather was colder than hereto
fore, but rather that orders to the
coal dealers here awakened no re-
sponse. For three of the largest coal
yards in the city had been swept
clean Of coal and fuel was even less
plentiful than county candidates.
At one coal office it was stated that
the very small supply on hand was
being apportioned out by sackful ami
barrel in order that all customers
might have one days supply, at least,
rending the arrival of other ship
ments of coal At two other yards
not pound was there to SELL while
the telephones kept up a merry jim
gle of orders throughout the day.
Local dealers have orders in At
the mines for many carloads of coal,
but delayed shipments have run the
fuel supply to the minimum. No lon
ger does Americus depend upon for
wood as fuel, as in former days, fol
wood now is as scarce as coal.
In fact, not few farmers residinl
near Americus are buying coal here
this winter for the simple reason that
they cannot get wood cut that grows
in sight of their doors.

George Washington, Miss Gum, the
librarian. has arranged a series OF
stories appropriate for the occasion
which will be told to the children

There are a number of stories clus-
tering about the historic personality
of Washington, which deserve to be
heard by every child. 1t is of this
class of stories that Miss Gum will
treat in her work this afternoon The
favorite myth about the cherry tree.
though it has no basis in historical
fact, will be told in order to ac-
quaint the child mind with this fa-
miliar story about Washington's per-
sonality.
There are other interesting stories.
too, which have been prepared by
Miss Gum so that they may be relat-
ed to the children at the story hour

ing an unusually interesting one, and
special invitation is extended to the
children to be present and to enjoy
the exercises.

the celebration of Washington birth
day viii be regularly observed in the
schools and elsewhere, but as the
following Friday comes after Febru-
ary %, it was decided by Miss Gum

YOUNG ACTORS
HOLD BOARDS
HERE TONIGHT
IN PLAY At OPERA HOUSE
COStumGd Production Of q
ShakGSpearean Classic

Assurance has been given that a
lerge and appreciative audience will
greet the presentation of The Mer-
chant Cf Venice, by members of the
Sophomore Glass of the High School
at the opera house tonight The seat
sale has been good already, and a
strong demand for seats will be eXpe-
rienced today when the seat sale re-
opens at Murray & Hooks Pharma-
cy.
Students from the schools at Plains.
Richland, Lumpkin and other neigh
boring towns have announced their
intention of coming to see the produc-
ton, chaperoned by teachers. This
alone is a sp endid tribute to the ap-
probation of the play which has been
aroused among the students and
teachers of neighboring schools
The last two rehearsals, both Of
which have been dress rehearsals,
have been especially pleasing to the
management of the play, and it is
believed that the final appearance to-
night will be far better as the young
actors will have the additional slim
ulus of a large and appreciative an
dience to spur them on to their best
efforts.
Emphasis is placed on the fact that
the first curtain will rise promptly
at $3.50 o'clock, and every on ewho at
tends is urged to cooperate with the
management in having their seats
before that time. Those who wish the
choicest seats should obtain them ear
ly today, as the sale will advance rap
idly before midday, a large number
of seats having already been taken. All
seats downstairs are so cents each
while the balcony seats are 25c an,
35c each.

JONES FAILED
IN HIS EFFORT
TO MAKE ESCAPE
DISCOVERED BY The JAILER
Did Very Clever Work With
Rude Saws

Macon Ga, Feb. 15.-Discovery was
made t is morning when braakf st
was being served at the county jail
that Johnny B. Jones, charged with
murder, who was confined to a cell on
the first floor of the Jail, had sawed
the ends of a big steel staple that
penetrated the bars of his cell and
to which the heavy iron door is locked.
To open the door, he only had to give
it a push and walk out
Jailer Holly at once reported the
attempt to break Jail to Sheriff Hicks,
who rushed down to the Jail. The cell
door was unfastened and unon an ex-
animation, it was found that Jones
had about completed his work ami
only had to push the door open ami
walk out Soap was used to smear
owed the ends of the sawed staple AMI
a sheet of newspaper was pasted over
the freshly sawed steel Strings were
wrapped around the ends of the sta
pie to serve as nuts, to prevent the
staple coming out when the jailer
opened the cell.
Jones made no statement when the
sheriff finished examining the clever
piece of work other than to say that
Afford used soap to stop UP small
holes in the CELL

MAY INCREASE
POLICE FORCE
NEXT APRIL
when COMMISSION Meets
Two Men May Be Added to
Present Force

That the Americus police force will
be increased by the addition of two
men seems probable when the police
commission holds it's annual meeting
in April The personnel of the police
force is made up at that time, and
the imperative need for more men
suggests the increase in the force
mentioned.
The city's rapid growth, together
with the extension of the suburbs.
makes the demand for increased po-
lice protection. In fact, the force at
present is not as large as it was many
years ago when Americus was a
much smaller city, but the financial
situation following that period rem
dered a curtailment of expenditures
necessary and the force has since re-
mained at its present numerical
strength.
Better police protection is required
in city of the size and Importance
of Americus, and the step suggested,
looking to the increase in April will
be generally approved. Last year the
fines collected in police court very
nearly paid the entire cost of main
tenance of the police force, rendering
that department self-supporting by
the vigilance and efficiency of the
policemen.

With The PLAYERS
At The OPERA HOUSE
The "kiltieS" Banners.

While the "Kilties" were making
their famous trip around the world
they received a number of banners
and pennants, presented by the may
ors and other officials of many of the
cities they visited. These banners are
displayed at each concert played by
the famous globe trotters and are er-
ceptionally pretty and very interest
ing Referring to the "Kilties" ban
ners the Lyttleton Times, of New
Zealand, says:
1T is not until one has heard the
"Kilties" play that he realizes the
significance of the many banners
which decorate the stage during thu
performance. The "Kilties" deserve
the tributes that Canadian cities have
paid them, and their opening per.
Torrance at the opera house last
evening won them a spontaneous
recognition of their musical versatl-
ity. For over two hours the band
entertained the large audience anil
the famous "Kilties" troupe of dam
GERS assisted in no small degree to
secure the success of the program.
The quickness with which the num-
bers followed each other was remark
able. There are no time killing waits
and the program was excellently rem
dered."
The "Kilties" will appear at the
opera house on Wednesday, 21st, mat
inee and night.

POET and AFFINITY

kGmp p-SihCIdir Affair Seems

New York, February 15.-Mrs. Meta
Sinclair, wife of Upton Sinclair and
Harry Kemp, the tramp poet of Kan
sas, are no longer living in their lit
tie bungalow at Point Pleasant, n.
j. She is at the home of her father,
William M. Fuller.
Mrs. Sinclair will not see anybody
and neither will | have anything TO
say" said Mrs. Fuller yesterday. Il
have never talked of this affair to the
newspapers and never shall. 1t is
just about time that the Sinclairs

was asked.
mo, l don't; and I don't care
either" was the reply.
Upton Sinclair has gone to Germany
to put his ten-year-old son, David, N
school He will return in the spring.
Since Supreme Court Justice Davis
refused to confirm the report of the
referee before whom testimony was
taken in his suit for divorce last De-
cember the case has been sent to
another referee, Marshall S. Marden
1t is believed his report will be con-
irmed since the previous one was
thrown out because of a legal techni
cality.
Rumore says that cold and hunger
looked in upon the simple life and
scared Mrs. Sinclair from Kemps side
to comfortable warmth and plenty on
her fathers hearth.
Meta Fuller and Upton Sinclair were
married in 1900, when the novelist
was just beginning to write.
1t was last augusta that Mrs. Sin
clair and Kemp left the colony at
Arden, Dels in which Sinclair was
one of the moving spirits and came
to New York He began suit for di-
vorce soon after, naming Kamp as
correspondent.

TAFT STILL KEEPS
FAITH IN TEDDY
At His Instance Cabinet Talks
On That Line

Washington, d. c., Feb. l5.-The
fact is known that the Taft admins
tration in the pre-convention cam
paign for the denomination of the
president will frankly praise the
achievements OF Theodore Roosevelt
and will take the ground that the COL
onel is not seeking the republica'
nomination at the Chicago conven-
ton.
President Taft does not believe that
Col. Roosevelt is a candidate or that
he is working in secret to obtain the
nomination. The members of Mr..
Taft's cabinet are of the same opin-
ion. and are making their belief clear
in their speeches.
Members of Mr. Taft's cabinet
will state that the Roosevelt policies
have been carried out faithfully by
the president, and that he stands on
the record of his administration, with
out fear of the result either in the
convention or at the general election.
Despite these assurances there APP
pears to be a strong impression
among the insurgents in the senate
that Col. Roosevelt will make it clear
in a public statement in the near fu-
ture, that he will accept. the nomina-
ton if it comes to him unsolicited.
Reports have it that Roosevelt VIII
address the Ohio constitutional con-
vention February 81, and then an
nounce his position.

AT
Unwilling BY
]. {. D. SHIPP
TO Be ORATOR OF OCCASION
When the ChGhdW Monument
Is Unveiled

happy selection has been made in
securing Mr.. j. E. D. Shipp to deliver
the memorial address at the forth
coming unveiling of the Chehaw me-
mortal. Mr.. Shipp has generously
consented to accept the invitation and
to perpare an address, notwithstand-
ing the fact that his many legal duties
take up the larger part of his time.
AS a student of history in general
and of Georgia history and biogra-
ply in particular, Mr.. Shipp is well
prepared to give to the preparation Of
the unveiling grafton that sympathy
and insight which will produce an ad-
dress that should please those who
will be present and also stimulate a
healthful interest in the accomplish
ment of further work of this nature
1t is planned further to have the
address that will be prepared by MIR.
Shipp issued in the form of brochure
so that the historic research which
he will devote to the work may be
preserved in permanent form. This
brochure will be printed and bound in
neat and tasteful manner and will be
put on sale both at the unveiling ami
later on, so that the local chapter of
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution may profit in a tangible way
by supplying the demand for such a
needed volume. The pamphlet will
be a valuable addition to the history of
the Chehaw Indians
On account of rough weather and
other unfavorable conditions, the day
of the unveiling of the monument has
been delayed indefinitely, as it should
be possible to determine better latsssT
on how day may be chosen that win
prove suitable for the occasion The
roads to Chehaw are still in bad con-
dition. so that this is feature that
cause delay. 1t is hoped that the day
that is finally selected will be an
ideal one, on account of the many
visitors who will be pres
ent at the time. some of whom will
likely take an active part in the un-
yelling exercises. 1t is like that the
will not occur until in April
or May. Il

in the early spring.
letter was received some time
ago by the secretary of the Board
nj Trade relative to the arranging
for game or games here later on
between college teams, but at that
time the purpose of the letter was
Understood to imply that the Mercer
team wished a game or two with the
local team on Memorial Day. Further
communications with the Mercer
management however, show that ref
erence was had to the playing of
games here between the Mercer and
Auburn teams.
1t is with this latter purpose in
view that negotiations are now being
carried on with the manager of the
Mercer team, and it is hoped that these
negotiations will prove successful.
Two games are to be played by the
Mercer-Auburn teams on Memorial
Day, and these games will be played
either here or elsewhere in this sec
ton of the state, if suitable arrange
ments can be made between the local
authorities and the management of
the Mercer team.
1t should prove of much enjoyment
to local fans and also a great adver-
tsement for the city to have both the
games played here, or at least one
of them, q wish very much that W"
