mo ELECTION
FOR BONDS TO
BE Held HERE
UNDER The ELECTION NOTICE
Council So Decided at Spec.
iaI Meeting

There will be no election held to-
day for bonds under the recent cleo
ton notice. Such was the decision
reached by the city council in special
session yesterday, after it had been
discovered that there are certain ir-
Irregularities in the notice of the call
for an election for school bonds.
The election for school bonds to the
extent of $4,000 and sewer extension
bonds to the extent of $4,000 was to
have been held today, the call for it
under the special election notice hav-
ing been issued last year. At spe-
cial meeting of council yesterday It
was decided that there were certain
irregularities in the election notice
which would make it impossible to
hold the election under the notice as
published, consequently the nullifica-
ton of the call by the city council.
Complete minutes of the special
meeting of the city council will be
found elsewhere in this issue of The
Times-Recorder, to which reference
may be made by every reader who is
interested in seeing the nature of the
resolution passed yesterday in nullify-
ing the bond election formerly an
nounced for today.
1t is matter of regret to The
Times-Recorder, as it must me to ev-
cry thoughtful citizen, that the bond
issue has been annulled. Itishoped
that the bond election may yet be held
that adequate facilities may be pro-
yided for the schools of the city.

IN, BEHALF
OF Y. N. c. A.
Meeting HELD LAST night
Work viii Be Prosecuted
With VigOr

At a special meeting of the board Of
directors of the local Young Mems
Christian Association held last night
at the Y. NJ c. A. building the reports
of the pastors of tho various churches
were heard. 1t was decided that the
work should be prosecuted anew until
success is gained.
Almost without exception the re-
ports of the pastors were encouraging.
1t is believed that the work can be
carried more readily to a successful
conclusion now, with the public cons
cience quickened, than at any time
since the project was undertaken.
The meeting last night was formu-
lated hastily and a number of the
members of the board of directors were
absent, but there were sufficient on
hand to show the temper of the body
relative to the present status Of lie

WITH DOSE Of
LAUDANUM HE
KILLED SELF
ATHENS Man DEAD IN MACON
Charles 7. Hayes Took His
Own Life

Macon, Ca, Jan. 20.-Charles r.
Hayes, the Athens man who mystic
riously turned up in Macon Sunday
night, died at the Macon hospital this
morning at eight o'clock from the eff
fects of ad ose of laudanum.
He was found in Tybee about mid
night by the police in a semi-cons-
cious condition. While being taken
to the police station in the patrol
wagon, he gave the police his name
and said that he had been waiting
for his wife, who lives in Athens, to
come to see him.
AT o'clock this morning, the SER
geant at the police station found
Hayes in his cell apparently very i'll.
He was Immediately sent to the hos
pltal, where he tailed to regain con-
seriousness.
When searched at the police sta
ton, bottle containing small por-
ton of laudanum and half pint bot
tie, with a small quantity of whiskey
III it, were found in Hayes coat
pocket.
The police did not at the time sus-
pect that the man had attempted to
take his life before being brought to
the police station. The smell of the
whiskey being stronger than the
laudanum, they suspected that he
was only in a semi-drunken condi-
ton.

CLIQUES IN
charge Of
CONGRESS
SO SAYS Sen. LAFOLLETTE
Few Men Control Both
Bodies

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2O-"Rul9s ,
and regulations of the senate and
house have been so framed and so
built up and engrafted upno by preca-
dent as to put the legislation of this
congress in the hands of few men,"
declared Senator LaFollette in the
senate today, speaking against the
conference report on the immigration
bill.
Il hope the time is coming when
these two bodies will be made more
democratic and more responsive to
the public will" he added.
Senator LaFollette attacked the
conference committee by which immi-
grants might be degarred from the
United States unless they brought
certificates Of character, when the
country had a law authorizing such
certificates He declared that con-
ference committees of the house and
senate should not have the power to
put new provisions into bills over
which the tw ohouses had disagreed.
Such action, he declared, put the leg
islation of important questions into
the hands of six or seven men.
A determined fight in which Sena-
tors Stone, O'Gorman and Simmons
joined, was made on the "certiicata
OF character" clause. Senator LaFlo-
lette said it went far beyond tn epur-
pose of the supporters of the plan,,
and turned over ii other countries.
the determination of what class OF
emigrants should be acceptable in tha
United States.
Practically every senator received a.
telegram from Louis Marshall, pres
ident of the Jewish league, saying the
inevitable result would be to exclude
a majority of Jews cmoing from
Russia and Roumania.
Senator Lodge contended that the
provision did not affect Russian i'm
migrants and held that the conferees
had not exceeded their authority.
Senator LaFollete declared Russia
could prevent its people leaving for.
the United States by refusing to is
sue certificates of good character.
Russians who now come to the United
States surreptiously he said, would
under the provisions of the law, be.
excluded.
"All those who believe in repub-~
lican principles of government could
be refused certificate" he said.
Russia knows that one free tongue
in New York is more harmful to-
Russian depotism than ten thousand
shackled subjects i Siberia"
After vigorous fight upon it, led
by Senator LaFollette, the conferences
report on the Burnett Dillingham; i'm
migration bill was rejected by tina,
senate today because of a clause
which it was claimed would exclude A
majority of Jewish immigrants from
Russia and Roumania. At tre rs-
quest if Senator Lodge the bill went.
back to conference, which will be.
asked to eliminate that feature.

GLOOM GRASPS
SPOT COTTON
HOLDERS HERE
SERIOUS BREAK in VALUES
Sentiment Was Very BGariSh
Monday

Americus cotton men who had hoped
for an improvement in the market this
week, following the long and STEADY
decline during the past week, had dis
appointment as their portion yesterday
when the market broke nearly a quar-
ter of cent shortly after the opening,
all Of the active months breaking be-
low 12 cents for the first time this
year. The outlook is not at all ro-
.seate. There is considerable spot cot
ton in Americus and other nearby
towns for sale, and the condition of
the market just now is of greatest in
terest.
This week promises to settle opin-
AOl pIAOlSAy 4lOC way VI elAAObAiSl' "
Thursday the trade will be guessing
over the census bureau report on gin
ming; after that the spot situation will
probably attract the most interest.
Bearish sentiment has grown recently
and probably it will be fostered by
bearish ginning estimates during the
early part of this week.
Students of the statistics of the
market, however, have pointed out
that this pending report can hardly
hold anything in it upon which hard
and fast opinions may be hung by
those who are open to conviction, un-
less developments have taken place in
the belt in regard to the winding up
of the ginning, which have not been
reported.
This coming report is important be-
cause it is the last of the regular semi
monthly reports by the census bureau,
but no sooner will it be out of the
way than the trade will go to figuring
on the final report of the season,
which will not be issued for some
time.
If the ginning returns are large this
time the bulls will claim that there is
nothing left to gin, while if they are
small, the bears will contend that the
last report of the season will support
their claims. 1t is very likely, though,
the figures will furnish many traders
with a new basis for crop estimates.
The spot situation will be watched
by every one. Were it not for the
ginners' report, it would be the main
influence this week.
Bears expect spots to weaken to an
extent, at least, in sympathy with the
lower future market, but bulls are
confident that cotton is in strong hands
and that the strength of spot owners
will ultimately prove to be he means
of bringing about a recovery in the
future market

Letter to His Wife.

In his coat pocket letters were
found which were written by Hayes
Saturday afternoon on the stationery
of the Hotel Lanier. Inquiries at the
Lanier developed that no such man
had been registered there. One of the
letters written at 1:15 o'clock to Mrs.
Charles T. Hayes, 357 Oconee street,
Athens. 1t gave her notice of Hayes
intention to commit suicide and was
as follows:
Darling: l am sorry but I must
go. Here's hoping you will come out
20. X. Don't worry I have gone. W.
W. Hayes funeral directions. Dar-
ling, try to raise the children in the
very best way you can. l am gone.
Good bye. Kiss them for me.
CHARLES"
This letter was written in ink, and
the writing indicated that Hayes was
very steady when he wrote it.
Another letter written in a very
legible hand, and with the time, 1870
O'Clock, p. M, at the top, was address,
ed to Mrs. L. E. Hayes, his mother
1t was as follows:
Mother: This is wrong; well do
l know, but I am going. So do not
grieve for l was born to go this way"
Another letter written at las
O'Clock, p. M, Saturday was addressed
to w w. Hayes, and in it Hayes ex-
planned that he had already secured
laudanum with which to kill himself,
and instructed his brother to look as-
ter his funeral arrangements.
oJlll duOluSI ISllST Was IOuuu du-
dressed to Mrs. S. S. King, Rome,
Ga, in which she was addressed as
darling" The cnotents of this let
ter were practically the same as
those of the letter addressed to Mrs.
Hayes, the wife of the suicide.
In another letter written in ink,
and addressed "to whom it may con-
cern," Hayes stated that ne was
ready to go, and everything prepared.
He asked tht world nto to Judge him
harshly for his act, as it was written

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggists Advice With
Splendid Result.

If anyone should know the worth
of medicine it is the retail druggist
who sells it over his counter every
day in the week, and is in a position
to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank H, Uline, of West Sand
Lake, N. Y, says: For a number Of
years was a great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July had an attack
which was more severe than any, and
my friends thought could not recover
from it. Then was advised by my
druggist to try Vinol, which I did,
with wonderful results. My cough
has left me; / have gained in weight
and appetite, and am as strong as
ever / was. / advise all who have
bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who are
run down to try Vinol."
1t is the combined action Of the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver, without the greasy oil,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron that makes Vinol so efficient.
Remember, we guarantee VinoI
to do just what we say we
pay back your money if it does not.
