FUSIONISTS TO WIN
AT SMALL EXPENSE
Campaign Will 60 Down in
History as Least Costly
Ever Held Here.

The campaign for Curran. Lockwood
and Gilroy. comprising the Republican
coalition ticket will go down in history
as the least expensive ever wagsd In
New York city, at least since consoli-
dation.
"The campaign will be unique and
history making In the small amo int OF
funds that will be expended" said John
j. Lyons. the Curran campaign man.
ager. Far from being the noneybund
the tag that Hylan and his crowd at.
tempted to put on us. we find that the
Hylan blunderbund of the last four
years has sunk into the peoples minds
SO deeply that an expensive campaign
such as Hylan and his supporters are
conducting will not be necessary at our
end"
Representative Ogden L Mills con-
sented yesterday to act as chairman OF
the finance committee. on which fifty
prominent persons have been asked to
serve. Charles D. Hilles will be chair
man Of the budget committee, the two
other members OF which will be Senator
Calder and Joseph NJ. Price. The latter
will represent all Independent elements.
1t is understood the platform will de-
clare that the five cent fare Is not an
issue in this campaign. regardless OF
what Mayor Hylan will say. At the
same time It will declare for an amend
ment to the transit act to give New
York city more of voice In the re-
organization Of transit lines. Senator
Lockwood. who suggested that the
transit issue be cut out Of the campaign
as much as possible. believes the de-
fciencies Of the Hylan administration
should be stressed.
.'Hylan cannot make a smoke screen
for his mistakes with his five cent fare
ballyhoo," said Mr.. Lyons. THE five
cent fare does not belong In this cam
paign, as every sane person realizes
that all candidates on all tickets are
unanimous and united on this PROPOSE
tion."

Committees are at work, and will
be busy during the next day or two,

baby bond subscriptions from abou,
one-third of the subscribers who have
not yet made payment. 1t was stat
ed today by J. Ralston Cargill, the
playground chairman and leader in
the pool movement, that by the end
of next week considerable more mon
ey will be needed to pay for mate
rials and work.
Four carloads of gravel are on the

the concrete for the four walls and
the floor of the pool, forms for which
have been all but completed, and it
is planned to begin the pouring of
the concrete by the end of the week
The well, drilling on which is pro-
ceeding steadily, has reached a depth
of 80 feet. A considerable depth of
sand was encountered, which has not
been crossed, and solid clay is now

HIGH SCHOOL NOW
FIGHTING ELEVEN
Great Reversal Of Form Shown
In Game With Fast Sylvester
Team Here

If anyoffe had had the idea that the
Americus High school team lacked
grit, and if they then saw the game
Friday Afternoon between Americus
and the fast Sylvester High school,
they have a different opinion today.
For it wa san altogether different
appearing team, coached by Jack
Hol5', that represented Americus in
the fray Fighting every minute of
the game, contesting every inch of
ground, and putting up good brand
of football, the Americus team held
their opponents oa score Of 1910.
The score does not really represent
the comparative strength of the two
teams. Sylvester, with team some
what outweighing Americus, and with
several fast games this season behind
them for experience, negotiated two
perfect forward passes in the second
quarter that netted one touchdown
and goal, and shortly after lucky

down. That was the only scoring
Except for those the incidents which
counted in teh score, the game was
even.
Americus gained as much ground
on straight football as Sylvester, held
their opponents as often, broke the
line as well, and otherwise put up
as good brand of football. At one
time Americus was marching steadi-
ly and rapidly toward the goal line
whe nan unfortunate tumble, when
the runner fell with the ball, gave5he
ball to the other side and killed the
hopes then high for a touchdown
Because of the lateness of the
hour of starting the game, which fol-
lowed the Aggie-Ashburn contest, on
ly brief quarters were played.
Ashburn will meet the High school
here next Friday.

PAY
TAXES in CORN
Tiff Commissioners Accepting
The Grain At so Cents
Per Bushel

TIFTON, Oct 29.-Tift county
commissioners are offering to pay 80
cents bushel for good, sound corn
in the shuck, payment to be made
in tax receipts. This is considered a
good plan for the farmer who has
a surplus of corn, scarcity of mon
ey and taxes to pay.
The commissioners will put out no
money, limiting the quantity of corn
to be taken from any one farmer to
the amount of taxes the farmer owes
The county can use the corn, the far
mers owe taxes and have plenty of
corn and little money, therefore the
farmers are given the chance to "pay
their taxes in corn"
In this connection it is interesting
to note that an Omega merchant in
his advertising advises farmers to
feed their corn to chickens and sell
the chickens, a few hens bringing
more than wagon load of corn.
