Be that as it may, she could not find it in her to drown the unwelcome visitor to the pantry, so she let it go and the silent little dra- ma witnessed by the tramp greatly impressed him. Not so with the strict aunt She declared the whole thing te be in exact accordance with every thing else in the family. Their hearts ran away with their heads. That was why they lost money on credit, could not pay off the mortgage and send the sick sister to a better climate. AS for the tramp, they had no business to take him in.

TELEPHONE NOTES

Few persons who see the telephone
wire traced over the landscape real
ize that on this thin support is strung
one of the marvels of modern science
The Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph company has in operation
an invention that permits several mes
sages being sent in each direction over
the telephone wires. The messages
are carried by circuits that do not in
terfere with each other and each mes
sage travels as if upon a wire of its
own. The system by which this plan
of duplex circuits is maintained per-
mits telegraph and telephone mes
sages to pass each other on the same
wire and other mysterious perform
ances that would have been declared
impossible by the early pioneers In
the telephone business. The Noun
tain States Telephone & Telegraph
company operates in seven of the west
ern states and its system has reached
such a high state of efficiency as to
be copied widely by telephone COM
panies in the east. Owing to the al
titude of the mountain states and
the constant strain upon telephone
system only the highest state of per-
lection will allow constant good SER
vice.
E. B. Field, president of the Noun
tain States Telephone & Telegraph
company, which operates in seven of
the intermountain states, is consider
ed one of the foremost, IN point Of
service, of the telephone men of the
world. Thirty years ago when the
telephone was toy, Mr.. Field was
first attracted to the possibilities Of
the invention. He has studied the
business every day since that time
and is everywhere recognized as an
authority on telephone science A
meeting of the Telephone Pioneers is
soon to be held in the east, all of the
men who have been in the business
81 years being eligible to membership.
Several members of the official fam
lily of the Mountain States Telephone
& Telegraph company will attend, be-
ing qualified for the name pioneer"
not only by residence in the west in
early days but by being early in the
field of telephone development.

SALOONS AND SAFETY
BY L, A. Giamboni


How the railway clubs of the South
ern Pacific have contributed to the
Safety First" movement is we'll des-
cribed in an editorial from the Los
Angeles Times:
"The common carriers of the coun-
try have learned that John Barley
corn in the habiliments of Death sits
at many railroad crossing, at many
a switch, and on many siding, and
rides upon the pilot of hundred en-
gines every day in the week. They
might have nailed up the saloon door
to their employees, and practically did
so by forbidding trainman under
pain of discharge to enter any habita-
tion where John Barleycorn had his
domicile. The rule would have done
little good if they had not discovered
a more excellent way
Block systems are good, and so
are all other mechanical devices, but
unless you get the man at the throt-
tie valve to leave whiskey alone,
deaths will occur on the track. BY
the introduction of more excellent
way a report upon the Southern Pa
cific system shows that in four years
ended July 80, 1912, 15O,OO0,00O,
persons had travelled on trains OF that
road without killing single pas
senger through collision or derail-
ment.' In one small railroad town of
5000 Inhabitants, Twenty-Five sa-
looms had f1ourished, and kept on
fioourishing in spite of the rule for
bidding trainmen to patronize these
places. Then the road intro
duced it's more excellent way in
the establishment of clubhouse to-
take the place of the saloon, and six
months later a dozen of the saloons
had closed their doors because they
would not pay. Two years after the
club was opened, only seven OF the
Twenty-Five saloons remained in bus
tness. Guidance was superior to OBJ
struction, and education left prohib1-
ton away behind.
Something had to be done, for no
man was required to pay entrance
fees nor monthly dues to enter
saloon, so the railroads had to make
their clubs as free as water that runs
in the rivulet or as the air that cir
culates around the globe. The sa-
loon is the most democratic place on
earth, where all distinctions are left
behind as each man enters the door.
So in the clubs all men stand upon a
plane of social equality. Another
thing, the railroad clubhouses assume
good behavior on the part of all who
enter them, and there is never seen
a sign prohibiting swearing, smok-
ing, expectorating, or any other i'm
proper act. There are no rules OF
conduct. The men are put upon
their manhood and upon their good
behavior. In an article in recent
issue of the Outlook, the discussion
upon this subject closes as follows:
Social welfare workers will find food
for reflection in the remarkable sue
cess Of this enterprise, which vigor-
ously suppressed every tinge of pa
ternalism and patronage in order to
lay hands upon the most elusive, un-
whiting individual, the adult indie
pendent. self-respecting worker, and
keep him out of danger the danger
zone of the saloon And let all men
rise up and sing, 'Selah.

If plans stand for anything, Ameri-
Gus is going to have one of the incest
and most modern hospitals in the en-
tire state Yesterday afternoon the
plans and specifications for the new
hospital building were on display at the
Carnegie Library and every person in
Americus was given chance to see
them. A committee of ladies from the
hospital association were in charge AMI
they explained the mysteries of the
drawings to all comers.
Every one who viewed the plans of
the proposed building praised the work
Of the architect. Four doctors sub
scribed $500 to help the work along
as soon as they laid eyes on them. 9th
or donations were also made by people
who viewed the drawings.
The new building is to be three sto-
ries high and modern in every respect
1t will be fully able to take care of thir-
ty-fve patients without the least biz
of crowding Every arrangement is to
be modern, even to the smallest detail
The building will be of brick and
the floors will be of hardwood and til
ing. Sanitary plumbing will be ir.
stalled on every floor
The operating room will be modelled
after the operating rooms of the larger
city hospitals. It's walls and floor will
be of white tiling and slate. Ample
light will be furnished by large sky
light in the roof, and by several win
dows. Arc lights will furnish light for
night work
Opening into the operating room will
be several smaller rooms that will b.
used as sterilizing, anaesthetic AMI
storage rooms.
Construction work will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. The la
dies of the association are to be con-
graduated on the energy that they have
displayed in providing a new hospital
for the city.

Cotton TRADE
AWAITS REPORT
Due THURSDAY
GINNING REPORT OF INTEREST
September Report Will Be
Issued Then

In Americus, as elsewhere over
she belt'' the cotton trade has its
weather eye turned skyward this week
and will watch anxiously any change
in conditions. The week started fine
Yesterday, with pickers again busy in
the white fields of Sumter, and the
hone expressed is for fair weather du:-
ing two weeks, until the great bulk Of
the crop is gathered.
The big events this week will be the
census bureau report on ginning, and
the department of agriculture report
on condition. These reports will be
given to the trade Thursday. Condi-
ton figures more important than those
relating to ginnig. This will be the
last condition report of the season and
the second ginning report.
The census figures will compare
with 1894 bales ginned to Septenl-
ber %, last year, 3,676,594 two years
ago, and 2,112,O74 three years ago, The
general expectation is for low condi-
ton report. Less interest has been TAX
en- in the ginning returns as whole,
the trade looks for figures that will
compare favorably with those of last
year.
The question of the size of this crop
and the date of the first killing frost
are expected to loom up large this
week. It is generally considered that
much depends in Texas upon the time
of the first really cold weather. The
disposition of late has been to reduce
crop estimates decidedly and unfavor-
able weather conditions this week will
strengthen this tendency.
The situation in Washington in re-
gard to the Clarke cotton futures bill
is unsettled, although the cotton trade
will enter the new week with strong
hopes that protests from the south
against radical legislation have been
effective. The market will be ner-
yous until the question of legislation
is finally settled
