ELECTRIC CHAIR
BILL signed BY
GOVERNOR HOOPER

Nashville, Tenn, Sept 30.-Governor
Hooper stated today that he had sign
ed the bill substituting the electric
chair for the hangman's moose in the
punishment of capital offenses. This
bill was passed by both the house and
senate yesterday in the dying hours o,
the extra session of the fifty-eight1
general assembly. The bill was called
up through strategy on the part Of
Representative Mcfarland, who was
temporarily in the chair, and Repre-
sentative Chamblee. The house was
considering local bills, and MIR. McFar-
land asked unanimous consent for the
passage Of the electrocution measure.
Representative Shaw objected and tn :
consideration of local bills continued.
Shortly afterward when Representa-
tive Shaw left the hall, Representati, Q
Chambiee, whose name had been re-
ported on the roll call, asked unanim-
Gus consent for the consideration OF
the bill, and it went through without
opposition.
Gov Hooper, when asked today con
cerning the calling of a second extra
session, replied: 81 am like the Dutch
mans son; | am doing powerful lot
of thinking" 1t is believed that the
governor will sound public sentiment
before taking any action in the matter
and that the session, if called, will not
conflict with the state fair, which
opened yesterday, for weeks run.

SEPT. RECEIPTS IN AMERICUS
FAR AHEAD OF LAST SEASON
Wagon Receipts Of Cotton at Warehouses 1905 Bales
Compared With $3.50 Bales Received During Sep
tGmbGr Last Year.OVer $500 More Bales, and
Nearly Three Cents More In Prices Paid.

With an excess OF $500 bales wagon
cotton. as compared with September
receipts last year and with the staple
selling at very nearly three cents per
pound or $15 per bale, more this sea-
son than at this date last year, the
farmers of this section and the cotton
warehousemen of Americus have no
cause for complaint in the situation at
this stage of the cotton season.
More than 10000 bales have been
brought to Americus already and, for
the most part, sold and the proceeds
applied to the payment OF debts and
in purchasing goods and supplies.
Nearly $4,000 has already been put
into the channels of business here
from the sale of cotton
Despite the fact that one-half the
crop of Sumter county is of late plant
ing this year, much of it not yet be-
ing matured, the yield in bales is al
ready far in advance of that of last
year at the close of September. AL
ready more than one-third of full
normal cotton crop has been marketed
here, and the fields of Sumter are yet
white
A comparison of receipts in Ameri-
Gus for this and several previous sea-
sons is interesting, as shown by The

Twenty thousand dollars is needed
to save the building. Aside from the
disgrace that will accompany the sell
ing of the building on the block it wiz
be bad business to lose a good invest
ment when it is over half paid for.
The executive committee feels that
this is a matter that should concern
Americus and Americus people vitality
and for that reason they are not going
to call in any out-of-town help to
raise the money. Business men of the
city will do all in their power to save
the city from the pending disgrace.
Every person in Americus who IS
the least concerned in the future u
the city and the young men of the
town is urged to attend the mass meet
ing. There'll not be any church to use
as an excuse so it's up to you to be
on hand.
Now is mighty good time to show
your Americus spirit. Are you will

PROHIBITION IS
AGITATING POOR
OLD TENNESSEE
PRESENT LAW is VIOLATED
Gov. Hooper Wants to De-
clare New Deal

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 3O.-Calling
second extraordinary session of the
Tennessee legislature to consider the
prohibition law enforcement bills.
Governor Hooper, in his proclamation
today, says: ''T~Ae ,
"The question which now confronts
the people is, shall the laws of the
state be enforced in the city as well
as in the country, or shall the out
lawed saloons corruptly dominate not
only the cities but the legislature aa1
the entire state?'
The enforcement bills were killed
by a filibuster in the lower house Of
the legislature last week during the
first extraordinary session. The sec
ond session is called for October 18th.
The governors proclamation is di-
rect appeal to the people
"In the fight for the enforcement
of laws of this state, desire to ap-
peal directly to the great masses Or
our citizens for support and co-opera-
tion," he says. Developments of the
last few weeks have demonstrated to
my mind that an Overwhelming ma
jority of the people, regardless o.
present affiliations, are determined
to put an end to the open, fagrant
and disgraceful notification of the
law in the cities of the state.
Il therefore appeal to the people
in every county in the state to rise
above the narrow confines of partisan
limitation, to assemble at the county
seats and elsewhere and to instruct,
encourage and support both the gov.
ernor and the general assembly in
the restoration of the majesty Of thS
law"
