He believes that the governor must call
the legislature together to put into ef-
feet the new amendment. This attitude
ON the part of republican senators indi-
Gates that there is still a probability that
tie seat of the newly elected senator will
be contested.
Senator Banlkhead in his message ask
ing for the judiciary committees opinion,
stated that it would require rs days for
an election to be held and the results
oanvassed. He asked his colleagues IL
in their opinion the governor could not
make temporary appointment under the
circumstances. But they held after care
iul study of the Alabama statutes con-
strued in the light of the new amendment
that he could not.
Kern Confident of Majority
While Senator Kern shares the general
hope that something can be done speed
lily to provide a senator from Alabama,
because his presence here will add to the
democratic majority and make a quorum
more certain, he at the same time be-
lieves that the tariff bill has not been en-
dangered by the death of Senator john
ston, even though a successor is not
provided in time to vote for the bill.
The tariff bill will pass" declared
Senator Kern, whether Alabama pro-
vides another senator or not.
Il am sure of that. We have the neces-
sary votes right here to pass it,
1t was suggested to the senator that it
was not impossible for the democrats to
sustain another loss before the bill was
up for a vote, and as they now have
only a bare majority of one counting
the detection of the two Louisiana sena-
tors, such loss might be serious. The
senator contended himself with the OBJ
servation that 1--WE have the votes to pass
the bill"
This means that Senator Kern is as
sured of progressive republican support
for the Underwood bill.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. "a
Forest fires which were burning to-

California have already caused a loss
estimated at considerably more than
$l,000,000 In Napa county, terri-
tory IS miles long and five miles

greatest damage has been in Cape'ls

fire.
A desperate fight was being made to-
save Napa Soda Springs and Wills

LOAFERS ARE PUT TO
W6Rk.-.PICk COTTON

Atlanta, Sept 24.-This is going to
be a fine season in Georgia for cotton
and a mighty bad season for Ioafers
and vagrants. The crop of both is
said to be the largest in years. Both
cotton and loafers had been doing
well until some wise head suggested
that the combination be put to bene-
fetal use by letting the loafers help
pick the cotton. Now the cotton is
still doing well, but the loafers are
miserable.
Labor is needed and the tacit under
standing has gone the rounds of the
state that every healthy man, white Jr
black, who is loafing around without a
job and with no visible means of sup
port, must either go to the cotton field
or the changing.
The cities are aiding in the work by
driving the loafing negroes off their
streets. Once out in the country it IS
an easier matter to make the negroes
of this class work.
There are many white vagrants in
Georgia too. principally the tramp
class driven southward by the early
GOODNESS of fall. They too must get to
work or get out of the state mighty
quick.

BAHNSEN AFTER
THE SAVANNAH
MEAT DEALERS
AMtRIClJS man FULLY ALERT
Will Press Charges Against
Dealers

DR.. p. F. Bahnsen, of Americus, state
veterinarian, and Pure Food Inspector
p. A. Methvin, are after certain meat
dealers of Savannah, who, it is al
legged, ignored their official order 10
clean up premises and put their shops
in sanitary condition, and prosecutio I
of such offenders will follow in the
state courts there.
Messrs. Bahnsen and Methvin have
just returned from this second visit t.
Savannah The first visit there was
made shortly after the "clean up" or
der was given Americus dealers, who
proceeded forthwith to clean.
The Savannah slaughter house men
were charger with maintaining their
places in such an unsanitary condition
as to make it impossible to furnish
clean and wholesome meats.
William Renken was charged with
failing to obey an order from the de-
partment of agriculture requiring him
to abate unsanitary conditions in his
place. The conditions in his place In,
spector Methvin described as horrible.
Renkens place, he says was worse
on the occasion of his second visit
than on his previous inspection in July
Inspector Methvin is now at work or
detailed reports of 152 inspections
made in Savannah, in addition tc
which he will present a gen
eral summary of the condition of af-
fairs there. This report will not b.
completed for a day or two yet.
Inspector Methvin reports condi-
cradle improvement in general condi-
on the occasion OF his second visit
in July, but states that some of the
offenders have done nothing whatever
to better conditions, and in some in-
stances they are worse.
He says generally speaking that
about 20 per cent. of the meat houses
in Savannah are in a clean and sani-
tary condition, about 40 per cent. ara
poor, and the remaining 40 per cent
downright bad.

AMERICUS BAND
IS SURE Thing
Music viii Be in the Air
Before Long

Americus is going to have a band.
That much is sure. The committee in
charge of making arrangements for
the organization has met with success
on every hand. And in less than 4
couple of weeks "there'll be music II
the air."
E. w. Gerth, leader of the famous
Moultrie Cornet band, has been A.
Americus, looking over the local sit
uation for the past two days. He left
last night for Moultrie, but will re-
turn next Tuesday. While contract
mas not yet been signed by neither the
city nor Mr. Gerth it is practically as
sured that he will be in charge of the
new organization.
As soon as it was known that there
was the remotest possibility of band
being organized the musicians of the
city began to hand in their names as
candidates for places. Twenty-Five q:
thirty have already asked for try-out
in the new organization. The fact that
the majority of them are already skill
ed musicians points to the early sue
cess of the undertaking. Any one in
the city who would like to get into
the band are requested to hand Their
name to G. s. Gardner, secretary of
the local chamber of commerce.
