The PAYING Of
COUNTY TEACHERS
GOVERNOR BROWN IS BUSY
Trying to Get First-HaRd In
formation

With the thoroughness that is char
acteristic of him, Governor Brown is
now investigating the methods of pay
ing the county teachers in Georgia. He
is now sending out to the various coun-
ty school commissioners letters that
are intended to reveal these condi-
tions.
The matter of the dilatory methods
employed by many of the counties of
the state in paying their teachers, as it
is alleged, has caused Governor Brown
to institute this investigation. County
School Commissioner Moore has re-
ceived a letter from the governor, ac.
companied by a blank containing d
number of questions relative to he
method of paying teachers now enl-
ployed here.
These letters, it is understood, have
been sent out to each county school
commissioner in the state. From them,
if they are given the consideration on
the part of the county school commits
toner's that they deserve, the governor
should be able to obtain accurate and
dependable information relative to the
paying of the county teachers of Geor-
gia. In this particular Sumter county
has an enviable record, as it pays all
of its teachers promptly each month.

Sewer REPORT
WAS PRESENTED
TO COUNCIL
CONTRACTOR is INDEBTED
Balance of Several Thousand
Dollars Due

A complete report of the sewer i'm
provement work as done in Americus
under the bond issue made for that
purpose was made to the city council
last night by City Engineer Ansley.
The report itself was made in detail
and contained all the different items
of expenditure that were made
throughout the contract. From this re-
port it is seen that the contractor, P.
j. Curran, of Chattanooga, through his
sub-lessees, expended a total of $780,,
1896 on the work. AS the total
amount of $41,3197O has been expend-
ed on the work, a part of which the
contractor failed to complete, de-
mand will be made upon Mr.. Curran
for the balance due, which amounts to
$4,963.93.
The completed report, which gives
with minutest detail the history of the
sewerage work as it is shown by the
expenditures, is document of interest
The foregoing figures, however, give
in a nutshell the salient points, whicn
interest the citizens of Americus more
than anything else. The report was
adopted by the city council. with the
recommendation that the refunding of
the balance due be demanded of Mr.
Curran.

GEORGIANS WILL
GET PATRONAGE
IN DISTRIBUTION
Mr.. WILSON not A PARTISAN
Underwood Men to Share In
Offices

Washington, D. c., March 12.-If
his action to date counts for anything,
President Wilson will not be bigoted
partisan in making nominations OF
federal officeholders. Reports that
Underwood men in Georgia will stan,i
no show are not credited here.
Senator Bacon is paying absolutely
no attention to the reports that Pres
ident Wilson may not accept his nom
ination of A. Pratt Adams, of Savan-
nah, as district attorney of the south
ern district, and of Thomas Eason as
first assistant, because these men did
not support Mr.. Wilson in the pre-
convention campaign Senator Bacon
will stand pat on his selections. He
seemed undisturbed tonight when told
there might be a fight on these two
nominations.
Pratt Adams was a Hoke Smith
man two years ago, but in the presi-
Dental campaign supported Oscar
Underwood. Pope Barrow, who has
been nominated by Senator Bacon for
collector of the port of Savannah, was
for Woodrow Wilson and Joe Brown,
while Pleasant A. Stovall whom Sen
ator Bacon is urging for a diplomatic
post, was both a Wilson and Hoke
Smith democrat.
Senator Bacon apparently has not
considered these political alignments
in making his nominations, and feels
sure that President Wilson will not.

awarding federal offices, has been fire.

week of the new administration.

LATER DATE
NAMED FOR
The REUNION
OF VETERANS OF GEORGIA
Suggestion Of Local Camp to
Be Adopted

Major H. T. Davenport, com
manding the Georgia Division, U. G..
", and also commander of Camp Sum-
ter, No 642, of Americus, has been
advised that the Brunswick commit.
tee, having in charge the state reun-
ion of veterans to be held there this
year, would accede to the suggestion
of the Americus camp for later date
for that occasion. General Davenport
has not been advised as to what date
later than July 18th will be selected by
the Brunswick committee, as this is to
be determined later But that the re-
union will be held some time in late
autumn seems assured now.
The point was made by the Americus
camp that the dates of the Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania, and Georgia reunions
were so near together that many vet
Grams could not attend the reunion in
Brunswick If held on July 18th, hence
the suggestion for later date. This
will be readily acceded to by the citi-
zens of Brunswick. General Daveu-
port is anxious for great attendance
of Georgia veterans at the national
U. C. V. reunion in Chattanooga IN
May, as that city is preparing to enter
tain royalty the thousands of old sold
iers who will come there as the eitya
honored guests. ''~" AZ" ~.
1t is especially desired that the stat
of the Georgia division provide them
selves with uniforms for that occasion,
both the U. C. " officers and those Of
the Sons of Veterans. Many will wear
either the regulation uniform of Con-
federate grey or in lieu thereof th9
grey coat, black trousers and white
vests.
Arrangements will be made for a
special coach, leaving either Americus
or Macon, for the use OF the division
officers, staff, the sponsor, Miss Rambo,
of Marietta, and her maid of honor,
yet to be selected by her. The special
coach will convey the Georgia veterans
to Chattanooga and return.
The Americus camp has not yet Sc
lected delegates for the Chattanooga
reunion, but this will doubtless be doue
at the regular monthly meeting in
April.

INTRODUCED in CITY COUNCIL
Rigid Measure to Abate DOQ
Nuisance

At last nights meeting of the city
council an ordinance was introduced
by Alderman Bell, chairman of the o.
dinance committee, to keep dogs OF

its requirements, and it was the opin-
ion expressed by aldermen last even.
ing that it should prove effective in
preventing the nuisance of dogs on the
streets of the city in the future.

of the ordinance it shall be unlawful
fer the owner of any dog to allow the
dog to run upon the streets, sidewalks
or alleys of the city, unless the dog is

nance provides for the impounding of
the dog for a given time before hav-
ing it killed, unless it is rescued by the
owner.
The ordinance will not be put upon
its passage until the next meeting of
council. The aldermen present last
night favored its passage.

LEADERS DELAY
APRIL Session
SEVERAL DAYS
UNDERWOOD ASKS A DELAY
Congress May Not Meet Until
April 9Th

Washington. D. c.. March IL
President Wilson was urged by Rep
resentative Oscar Underwood, demo-
cratic leader, today to postpone the
date of the extra session of congress
ct least one week. AS a result OF
Mr.. Underwood's suggestion recently
the president had fixed upon April |.
Mr.. Underwood today advised tbs
president that the ways and means
committee would require more tina
in preparing the new tariff bills.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Wilson has said
lie would be guided by the counsel OF
house leaders, it was regarded as
practically certain today that the new
congress would not convene before
April Z or 8. Mr.. Underwood dis
cussed with the president the advis-
ability of including anything more
than the tariff in his first message t1
congress. It was expected that tha
proclamation calling the new congress
would be submitted to the cabinet to-
Gay.
The presidents proclamation is ex-
Dected to point out that the extra
session is called for the purpose OF
revising the tariff alone. Mr.. Under
wood assured him today that house
leaders would be able to confine the
attention of congress to that subject
although several democrats interested
in other legislative matters are still
anxious to have them considered be-
fore the regular session in December
Mr.. Underwood said, as he left the
white house that the democratic
caucus woud decide whether the tariff
vas to be revised in one BILL or each
scht dule taken up separately. As
tae bill has been prepared, he said.
it will be an easy task for the caucus
to decide either way.
1t was reiterated at the white
house, unoficially, that George w.
Guthrie, democratic state chairman
for Pennsylvania, and former mayor
of Pittsburg, was likely appointed
for diplomatic post.
1t was stated that word from
Richard Olney as to whether he would
accept the ambassadorship to Great
Britain was not expected for several
days. 1t was understood that he was
giving the appointment careful con-
sideration. -
Senator overman. of North Caro-
lima, presented to the president today
the name of Whitehead K. Lutz. Of

sador to Brazil.
