rather snugly about the figure, 50 that
pleasing lights play on the rose silk

The skirt is made of alternate flounces

attached at the back of the bodice and
is finished with long ends that reach
to the bottom of the skirt.
The interesting wrap is originated in
lustrous chiffon velvet. The color IS

LIGHT COMPANY
AGREES TO LET
) SETTLE RATE
Mayors Proposal Of Fri
day Accepted Gard
Is Issued

Announcement was made today by
the Americus Lightning Company, in
a card prepared for the public, which
is published herewith, that the pro-
posal of Mayor Sheppard, made in
conference with company officials last
Friday for a board of three men to
determine upon a fair rate to be paid
by the city for the emergency electri-
cal connection service at the pumping
station, had been accepted in writ
ing. The proposal was for the city
and company each to name one man,
and to have Murphey Gambler, chair
man of the state railroad commission,
name third as umpire, these men to
determine the rate that the city
should pay, the proposal of the COM
pany having been declared exerbi-
1ant.
Following is the Lighting Com
pany's card, setting forth it's side of
the controversy. 1t should be ex-
planned in advance that the Times
Recorder report of Sunday was not
a statement of the city's side of the
case, with the power company's side
Ignored, but-ss news report of what
transpired and was said on the floor
of the city council:
The Company's Card
TO THE CITIZENS OF AMERICUS:
The article appearing in Sunday S
Times-Recorder, headlined Getty
AND LIGHTING COMPANY IN Sc
RIOUS CLASH" does the Lighting
Company a gross injustice, as only
the City officials are interviewed.
We wish, most emphatically, to de-
ny the accusation THAT THE AM
ERICUS LIGHTING COMPANY is
PLANNING EITHER TO FORCE
THE CITY TO ACCEDE TO
THEIR PROPOSAL OR TO RE-
TALIATE FOR THE CITY REFUS-
ING TO ACCEPT IT." as such are
not the facts.
The Americus Lighting Company,
wishing to take no advantage of the
City, as early as November 10Th,
1919, notified the Mayor and City
Council IN writing that this Company
could not renew the pumping con-
tract for the year 1920 at the rate
then contracted, as the Company was
DONG the pumping at loss OF over
9Z,UUU.OU per year, anu III CHe same
communication proposed the whole
differences be submitted to the Engi-
neer of the Railroad Commission for
! his investigation aid we would
abide by his decision.
The City pad no attention, what
ever, to this notice so we sent them
second notice on December 22nd,
1919. Some days before January
lst we were advised by Chairman
Mashburn that the City would no
desire our power for the year 1920.
We, full well knowing the condi
ton of the City's plant and in order
to protect the City, did not discon
meet our wires. AS antic pated, with
in short time, we were asked by
he City Engineer to give then
emergency service, which was done
and we have always complied will
he City request, although under n,
obligat on to do so.

FAMED FLYING
PARSON' DROPS
In AT SOUTHER
1t. Maynard Stops Here
For Lunch On Way
To Atlanta

Lieut.. Belvin w. Maynard, known
nationally as "The Flying Parson,"
and the winner of the transconti-
mental flying contest of a few months
ago, was an unexpected visitor at
Souther Field today. Leaving Tai
lahassee at 11:50 o'clock, Eastern
time, he landed at Souther Field at
1920 Central time. He was accom-
panied by a sergeant mechanician.
He was on his way to Atlanta where
he will spend the night, and dropped
in here for lunch.
The first notice the officers at
Souther Field had of the visit of the
famous flyer was when Major L. S.
Churchill, commanding officers at
Souther Field, was asked by phone
at 1920 whether the airman had ar
rived.
81 didn't know he was coming; his
visit is news to me-" he replied. "a
ship has just landed and maybe that
is he" And it was.
Lieut.. Maynard and his mechani-
clan took lunch at the field and after
spending time chatting with the of
ficers and men stationed there and a
brief rest, were on their way to At
lanta, intending to land at Gambler
Field there before sundown.
Lieut.. Maynard is on Lis way back
to Washington, from which he flew
% Florida a couple of weeks ago. He
bears the tile of Flying Parson,' be-
ing a young Baptist minister from
Wake Forest College, N. c.

Per month New Rate Uld Kate
Minimum charge, $3.50 $1.00
Commercial Power Scales;
No change in rate schedule, but
change minimum charge to read: 75c
per HIP connected, but not less than
$500 net per mo. Old rate SOC, but

The application was filed Saturday
morning in Atlanta, following the
action of the city council Friday night
in refusing to enter into a contract
for a year of emergency service at
the pumping station at the rate rro-
posed by the company. This fact,
however, was said by Manager Joe
Johnson to have had no relationship
to the application.
1.-THE move was made necessary by
the increased cost of everything en-
tering into our business" said Mr.,
johnson. 'Since the present rates
were established prices have risen
enormously, as all know. The new
schedule was figured on basis of G
per cent, return on the money invest
ed, plus depreciation charge. Only
today we received notice of an ad-
vance of 40 cents per ton in coal, be-
cause Of the increase in wages to
the miners as a result of the settle
ment of the strike. We are expecting
an increase in freight rates. La or
has gone out of sight, and 9th r
costs have increased. Something had
to be done. The only result of the
city's not accepting our proposal was
that our earnings will be bit less
than they would have been with it."

VETS EXPECTING
MISS0URPS AID
Sale of Beer In St. Louis
Seen AS Hope By
Them
N. E. A. STAFF Correspondent

~. E. "a. oIdH correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The
wide sale of per cent beer in st.
Louis is regarded by wet leaders here
as a signal that Missouri will be the
next state to line up in the fight
against prohibition.
This will make four states definite
ly committed to the states rights
plea-that each state has the right of
prohibition "self determination.
Rhode Island, which has already
filed suit in the United States Su-
preme Court attacking the constitu-
tionality of the 18th amendment,
leads the wet lineup. Others are New
Jersey and Wisconsin.
If Missouri joins the fight it will
be four states against 26 states, led
by Maine, which have combined to
oppose the Rhode Island case.
Vets in Washington attach little
Importance to the vets attempt to
dig up the prohibition corpse as a
political issue in the presidential
campaign. That there is little hope
was shown Thursday when the house
overwhelmingly voted against mo-
ton to strike out of the appropria-
ton bill an item for prohibition en-
forcement.
Vets hopes center on the Rhode
Island suit. Added to this is the ac-
ton of the New Jersey legislature in
legalizing 3.5 per cent beer, the fed
eral court decision in Wisconsin fav-
oring the vets and the practically
open sale of per cent beer in st.
Louis.

DR.. Applewhite took occasion, with
