President Glover reported to the
commissioners of the Chamber of Com
merce at their meeting yesterday that
he had instructed Secretary Hyman
and Mr.. John Flournoy to measure up
all the business blocks Of Americas,
looking to the erection of a Great
White Way"
Secretary Hyman was the promoter
of So blocks of white Way" in Ma
con, and those of our citizens who
have seen it, remember what a
change it made in that city.
The Chamber of Commerce could not
take up a better improvement Off
Americas at this time than to promote
this White Way" Ever since cities
and towns have become to recognize
the liberal use of electricity in bust
ness and in home, fertile and now
a considerable developing field has
been opened for the merchants of the
progressive towns who have taken to
the bright lighting of their towns, and
the merchants whose places of bust
ness are located upon well lighted
street can at once begin to see his
windows sell more goods for him and
his sales grow teadily.
This is but one o fthe several good
things resulting from White Way
1t fosters the idea that city is in
the progressive class; that its business
men are alert and inclined to modern
ways of doing things. 1t adds to the
civic beauty of city both day and
Notwithstanding with the general
decorative effects. 1t stimulates local
pride, which is always a fine asset for
any town. Whenever you find maA
proud of his hime town you find a man
willing to talk and advertise his city's
achievements.
Estimates of the cost of erecting this
White Way" are being prepared and
as soon as the prices can be secured
from the many factories who manufac-
ture the standards, a meeting of the
merchants will be called by the Cham
Der of Commerce to start the ball roll
ing at once.

CITY SCHOOLS
CLOSED SESSION
FRIDAY EVENING

With yesterday ended the routine of
study in all of the Americas public
schools and, Herewith, came the end
of school days" and, incidentally, of
hickory rul- days for the spring term
of 1915, one of the most successful in
the long career of the local schools.
Books and study are now but memoir
les of the past, and the few days re-
naming prior to the formal close of
the session will be taken up in the US
ual examinations in all of the num-
erous grades, where 1000 pupils
have been employed.
The enrolment this term has been
the largest ever, fact that reflects
upon the merit of the city schools as
upon the substantial growth of Amer
icus from the standpoint of popula,
ton. ....... -.
Following the examinations, which
will consume two or three days, the
first feature of interest marking the
closing exercises will be the presen-
tation On Wednesday night, at the au-
ditorium, Of the pretty operetta "The
Isle of Jewels" presented by pupils of
the schools. This will be by far one
of the best entertainments ever pre-
scented in the city schools, and is an
ticipated with keen interest.
The graduation exercises on Fri
day evening will, of course, prove the
feature of greatest interest, as the
class this year is one of the largest
that has ever left the high school.
Twenty-eight bright young girls and
manly lads have completed the pre-
scribed course and will be presented
the coveted diplomas. Commencement
night will indeed be an occasion long
remembered and many very pleasing
features will mark the program.
Several class entertainments will
mark the closing of the city schools,
and altogether commencement week
is being pleasantly anticipated by the
1000 pupils of the city schools.

AMER|CUS ELKS
WILL CELEBRATE
BIRTH Of FLAG
AMERICUS LODGE, b. P. o. E., WILL
HOLD CELEBRATION ON BIRTH
DAY OF OLD GLORY

In accordance with the laws of the
Order Of Elks the Americas Lodge will
hold appropriate exercises on Flag
Day. The purpose of the exercises is
to celebrate the birth of the American
flag and TO signalize the achievements
wrought beneath its folds. 1t is the
custom of the Elks to celebrate this
day each year and this year the public
will be invited to attend the ceremon-
les. 1t is also eminently appropriate
that such service be performed by
the Order of Elks, as the organization
is distinctively American, intensely
patriotic and without counterpart in
any other land. The American flag to
an Elk is not only the emblem of
home and freedom but it is also the
symbol of the greatest of all the vir-
tues, CndrlJy.
Flag Day is June 14th and the Elks
will hold their ceremonies in the
evening in the auditorium of the Car
negie Library There will be patriotic
music, songs and addresses setting
forth the great achievement accom-
plished in American history since the
birth of the flag. The "Elks' Tribute
to the Flag will be delivered by one
of the brothers Of the Order in
most impressive manner and this trib-
ute is one of the most beautiful that
has ever been written in honor Of "Old
Glory"

4 HALF HOLIDAY
FOR ANER|CUS
EVERY " EE K.

Realizing that the clerks of Ameri-
icus should keep up with other pro-
gressive towns of the size Of Americas
and that their employers should give
them a half holiday one day in the
week during the three hot months,
June, July and August, the commits
sioners of the Chamber of Commerce
instructed Secretary Hyman to ascer-
tain if the merchants would not join in
a movement of this kind and make
each Thursday afternoon general
holiday, beginning with the first Of
June.
Dublin, Albany, Cordele, GAINESVILLE,
Griffin and many other towns have
found this to be a good move. Their
clerks make their arrangements to
take a vacation on these days, and
they get better Eesults for work during
the rest of the week.
1t is hoped that not single mer-
chan will refuse to consider this move
good thing and readily sign an
agreement when presented to them for
this purpose.
