NEW MEMBERS WILL
Be INSTALLED At
MEETING ON 22ND

The meeting of city council on We'd
nesday night next, 22nd, will be some
what in the nature of a double
header as the old council will play
its final inning, while at the same
time the newly elected members, Al
dermen Poole, Horton and Kalmon
will step upon the diamond for game
of two years duration. Judge z. A.
Littlejohn will administer the oath of
office to the new members Wednesday
night, and the occasion will be one of
interest.
AS rule, but little business is
transacted at these joint sessions CT
the new and old councils The old
bedy puts the finishing touches upon
any matters requiring such attention
and then steps gracefully to the amen
pews, while the new body assemblies
for a briefer session. Good cheer and
felicitations are exchanged and the
new council assumes the reins of gov
ernment at the wheel of the municipal
car of state
Mayor Council at the meeting We'd
nesday night will, no doubt, announce
the standing committees of council for
1916.

Officials Heard Nothing.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. e1.--Offi-
cial Washington had not received any
word of any answer to the Ancona
note, but they make it clear, however
that if the excerpts as contained in
the news dispatches reflect the tone OF
the full text it would be considered
unsatisfactory.
The officials are not willing to enter
into diplomatic correspondence
which may be prolonged.
The Austrian embassy has had no of
fetal communication regarding the re-
ply, but after reading the news dis
patches they conferred with Secretary
of State Lansing. Previously he had
been asked what the United States
would do if the answer was unsatis-
factory.

HARRIS WILL RUN
FOR REELECTION
As HEAD OF STATE

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 16.-Governor
Nat E. Harris will be candidate for
reelection as governor of Georgia, ac-
cording to well-founded statements
made by friends of the governor.
The announcement of the governors
candidacy will be forecast in a state
ment to be issued Sunday by certain
of his friends and later will be follow
ed by a statement from the governor
himself. A member of the committee
which will be published Sunday ad-
mitted today that it has been known
among several of the governors sup
porters for some days that he had fin
ally concluded to make the race, but
when previously approached on the
subject Governor Harris would only
say that while he would have nothing
to give out at the present time, or in
the next several days, a statement will
be issued for publication Sundays by
friends of his (which will" he said,
throw a great deal of light on the sit
uation and probably will clear it up
entirely"
eByond that the governor declined
to be quoted but it is ascertained def
initely that the final conclusion has
been reached that he will make a sec
ond race.

'DEPOS|TORs Of
|OEFUNCT BANK
HOLD A NEE TING

A meeting of body of the stockhold-
ers of the defunct Bank of South
west Georgia, estimated at $50, was
held in the Sumter county courthouse
this morning, called by Receiver L. G.
Council, of Americas. The sense of
the meeting was to take some con-.
certed action in behalf of the deposit
ors in an effort to secure the funds
lost by the failure of the bank.
r. L. Maynard, of Americus, and A.
A Arlington, of Ellaville, were elected
chairmen of the meeting, and e. a.
Nesbit, of Americus, was selected as
secretary.
The motion of Judge J. A. Hixon
that committee of five citizens who
are depositors in the bank be selected
to look after the interests of depos-
itors was carried. An amendment was
passed that this committee advise with
an attorney who should have no inter-
est in the case. After much debate
the original motion that the members
lie selected was re-considered on a
motion of Rev. ]. B. Lawrence that the
chairman appoint the body of five cit
liens
The committee appointed is Rev. ].
Il. Lawrence, DIR. T. M. Merritt. Sr. ].
S. Matthews, DR.. f. L. Cato and G. r.
MeCrory, the latter resident of Ella
vile. A meeting of this committee
was called Immediately after the ad-
journment of the meeting.
A committee composed of J. G. Raj
ney, Stephen Pace and H. o. Jones was
named to prepare a list of the depos-
itors present and their report showed
one hundred and seventy.
j. E. Sheppard moved that the COM
mittee fill any vacancies which might
occur because of any failure to serve.
1t is estimated that the Bank of
Southwest Georgia, together with its
branch establishment at Ellaville, in
schley county, had about 500 deposit
ors on its books wren the institution
failed.

SUFFRAGE BEFORE
CONGRESS BODIES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dee. 1.-Two
men favoring and those opposing suf-
frage for women appeared to argue the
case before the congressional commit
tees of the house. The judiciary COM
mittee will hear both sides.
The senate suffrage committee will
listen to the suffragists.
Mrs Matte Jacobs, president of ths
Alabama Equal Suffrage association,
told the house committee that South
ern women wanted to vote but did not
want the enfranchisement confined to
state limits.
Chairman Webb asked her why wo-
men did not go to the state for their
vote, instead of bothering congress
about something it had nothing to do
with.

MISS HOLMES GOES SHOPPING
BUT F0RGETS HER NEW NAME
MACON BRIDE HAS A NOVEL EX.
PERIENCE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Young and
pretty Mrs. Fleming Johnson of Macon,
Ga, has been married less than a week
and the novelty has not worn off. Since
Sunday she has been buying Christmas
presents and part of her trousseau
here and had $500 worth of articles
sent to the Biltmore where she and her
husband stayed.
But the purchases were never deliv-
cred, for they were addressed to Miss
Fleta Holmes
The bewildered clerks did not know
that Mrs. Johnson had been Miss
Holmes and sent the goods lack. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson learned of the
rljstake today shortly after leaving for
their home in Charleston the husband
thought 1t was fine joke on his wife.
He hastily made arrangements to have
the purchases forwarded 10 Charles
ton.
incidentally Mrs. Johnson saw her
first real blizzard Monday and found
skating here decided novelty.

FARMERS HERE
HAVE REDUCED
WHEAT ACREAGE
LACK OF MILLING FACILITIES THE
CAUSE.

That farmers in the Americas ter
ritory will not plant this year nearly
SO much wheat as they did last fall is
an evident fact, and one to be regret
ted. Reports from various parts OF
Sumter and contiguous counties are to
the effect that the wheat acreage has
been cut down very considerably. The
planting season is practically over anil
it is said that not near the acreage
planted here last year will be sown in
wheat this fall.
The usual very large area in oats
has been planted and the grain is
growing finely, but the absence OF
wheat fields is noticeable
Last fall Americus and Sumter
were confronted with a most serious
problem, that of a big cotton crop and
no market for it, and the total absence
of a wheat crop, and no money with
which to Ahrchase western flour. Far
mers, in consequence, planted consid-
cradle field of wheat last October and
good crops were harvested the past
summer. This fall, however, they
have cut down the wheat area to the
minimum.
Lack of milling facilities, no doubt,
caused the acreage reduction. Ameri-
Gus had no Touring mill and no pros
pect of one for the next year, and
farmers did not care to haul their
wheat to mills far away to get ii
ground into -four.

Report Of London.

LONDON, Dec. ia lull has set in
on the Macedonian frontier which well
Informed observers believe will last
until after the Greek elections Sun
DAY.
The Allies occupy strong positions
north of Saloniki after their retreat.
The well-organized retreat is regard
ed here as one result of the new co-or-
dination among the Allies. If they Ger
mans assault the new Allied positions
they will need heavy guns, and it will
probably take some time to bring
them up.
In London the retirement of Field
Marshal Sir John French and the ap-
pointment of Sir Douglas Haig as
commander r-in-chief, overshadows all
other war news. Haig takes the posi-
ton with high reputation and has
seen more hard fighting than any other
British officer.
The news dispatches to London say
that the Allied army in the Balkans
now numbers two hundred thousand
men.

AMERICUs PLAN
PAYING MILEAGE
PROVES POPULAR
BRINGS MANY SHOPPERS TO BEST
MARKET.

The Americas plan" of paying mile
age to shoppers who come by automo-
bile to this market for their holiday
shopping is proving immensely popu-
lar, as was expected, and the enter
prising merchants here who entered
into the plan at the instigation of the
Chamber of Commerce are we'll pleas
ed with results. And these results"
are seen every day now in the great
parking of additional out-of-town cars
here.
Other towns had adopted the refund
mileage On railway trains, but the
Americus Chamber of Commerce was
the very first to put over the paying
OF mileage to purchasers who come to
Americas in automobiles.
Every car owner is refunded 2 IL
cents per mile travelled, and in many
instances this amounts to snug little
sum paying several times over the
cost of gasoline consumed. On a ten
mile trip the refund is fifty cents,
while fifty mile trip here nets $3.50
to the man behind the wheel, when all
conditions are complied with. The
shopper who comes by the Central or
Seaboard is taken care of just as well
in having his or her fare refunded, and
thus it costs one nothing to come to
Americus to buy in the best market in
south Georgia.
