HALF-HOLIDAY
ONCE A WEEK
IS ADVOCATED
DURING THE DULL SEASON
For the Merchants of Amer
iCuS this Summer

A well known merchant here el-
pressed himself yesterday as heartily
in favor of a half-holiday once a week
for the stores of the city while the
dull season is on. In advocating this
extra half-holiday for the clerks an3
other employees of the city, it was
pointed out that a number of other
cities have already adopted it, and
have found it most acceptable and sue
cessful.
In the large cities a half holiday S
given to large number of employees,
especially in wholesale houses, on Sa,-
urday. A Saturday half-holiday here
in the afternoon, which is the busiest
time of the week, is impossible, con-
sequently half-holiday about mid
week has been suggested as being the
most practical for both the merchants
and the employees who would profit
by the holiday.
From the interest that has been
shown here already it seems that the
plan will meet with the approval. of
majority, if not all of the principal
merchants Of the city, as it would
work no hardship on any one Trade
is naturally off here now and everg-
where, so that a half-holiday would
help rest employees and aid otherwise
il making the burden of work for q
large number of clerks easier during
the summer season.

FOR A MORE SUITABLE
GOVERNORS MANSION
Present One May Be Sold
Or Leased

Atlanta, Ga, July 10.-A plan is on
foot to arrange for the sale or long
lease of the governors mansion prop
erty on Peachtree street and to pro-
vide a more suitable residence for
the chief executive. A resolution WIS
introduced in the house yesterday by
Mr. Methvin, of Dodge, providing for
a Joint committee of the house and
senate to receive bids or proposals
l. king toward the sale or exchange
a. leasing of the present property,
aud the purchase of another site in
d more desirable location for the resi-
dtnce of the governor. The ~resolU-
ton was referred to the committee on
Iublic property and will be reported
back within a day or so. The same
was appointed at the last
session of the General Assembly, but
after it made it's report, the legisla-
lure took no action on it, and the
matter went over.
The general judiciary committee,
Number l, of the house, has reporta
hack with favorable recommendation
a bill by MIR. Myrick, of Chatham, pro-
viding that policemen and all other
officers of the law be allowed to carry
concealed weapons. This is now the
custom in Georgia, but it is against
the law. AS originally drawn the bill
incmded city detectives, but upon the
ins ;s,ence of a number of members
this feature was stricken.

HIGHWAY TO
LUMPKIN TO
BE OPENED
WILL AFFORD CONVENIENCES
To Visitors From All Towns
Connected With 1t

Americus, Plains, Preston, Richlar
and Lumpkin will soon be connected
by an improved highway which will
renIer communication much easier
than at present, with roads Indifferent
~ maintained, and in some few local
tiles rough and heavy for the traffic
going over them.
Sumter's section of twelve miles is
all right, with the exception of two
miles west of Plains, and at the coun-
ty line, and this short link will be put
in excellent condition within a short
time.
Webster county is building a good
road entirely across the county, east
and west, which in a few weeks viii
connect with the Plains road at the
Sumter-Webster boundary. From
Preston the work of road improvement
is rapidly being extended in this d.
rection.
The working forces are now within
five miles of the county line, and t.
the end of facilitating the work farm
ers in that locality have agreed to help
the county by sending their labore,s
and teams to the front.
With this additional help, the Web
ster county road-building force will
soon complete the work of construct
ion, thus opening up fine road all
the way from Preston to Americus, a
distance of twenty miles. Bridges
over the ChoctaWhatchee and Lanna-
hassee creeks are now being built.
Just as soon as this work is finished
the road builders will rebuild the
highway from Preston westward 10
distance Of eight or ten
villas Ero,,, piobIopd to JumDki1
a distance of eight miles, the road is
p good one now, and will require but
little work.
The opening of this highway, Amer
icus to Lumpkin, will greatly faciii-
tate travel between all the towns men
toned above, and will bring volume
of trade to Americus, some of which -
now diverted elsewhere.
