SPLENDID REVIVAL
IS WELL UNDER WAY
Pastors Earnest, Strong Appeal:
Attract Crowds to All
Services

Il beseech you therefore, be-
thren, by the mercies of God, that ye
present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service was the
appeal made at the morning hour to-
day in the revival services now in
progress under the auspices of the
First Methodist church at the court
house. This message, taken from Ro-
mans, 12:1, was heard by perhaps
the largest congregation which has
yet greeted pastor Cutler at any of
his morning talks. 1t was a great
message and was presented most for
chilly and clearly.
His message at last evenings SER
vice was taken from Hebrews, 2:3,
"How can we escape if we neglect
so great a salvation" a subject which
furnished a stirring sermon and was
presented in an able manner to a
capacity congregation, perhaps the
largest Of any of the weekday ser
vices yet held.
The pastor reports a most crafty
ing meeting with the children at the
playground yesterday afternoon,
there being more than fifty present.
On account of the District Sunday
School Institute to be held in Ella
vile, beginning tomorrow, there Will
be no meeting for the children Thurs
day afternoon as the pastor and many
Of his Sunday school workers will
leave Americus for that town i'm
mediately after the morning services
to spend the afternoon there.
1t is urged that the meeting this
evening be we'll attended. The IN
terest is strong and the services most
encouraging, as evidenced by the
splendid crowd which came out this
morning.

PROF. MAT HIS AGAIN
WILL HEAD SCHOOLS
Present School Superintendent
Reelected BY Board of
Education

The board of education of Amer
ieus at its regular meeting last night
reelected Prof. j. E. Mathis as su-
perintendent of the city school sys-
tenn, and fixed the salary at $4,000
the same as during the last year.
Prof. Mathis has been connected
with the local school system of Amer
icus almost continuously since 1904,
and much of the progress attained
by the schools here can be directly
attributed to his earnest work. He
was first uperintendent, but retired
for time during which A. G. Miller
served in this capacity. During Mil
ler's term, however, Prof. Mathis was
a member of the school board except
for a brief span of two months, which
makes his connection with the schools
practically continuous during the
past 10 years. The handsome Rees
Park High school was erected dur
ing Prof. Mathis connection with
the schools and the F'urlow Gram
mar school, the largest grammar
school in Americus, rebuilt and en-
larged, as well as substantial addi-
tions made to the nSgro school on
Mckay Hill.
The board, as is customary, defer
red the selection of faculty for
the schools until the May meeting
OF that body, when it is expected
teachers for the various high and
grammar grades will be named. So
lar as is known today, no changes
are planned in the personnel of the
faculty, though there are usually
number of vacancies to be filled an
nually, due to designations.

USING GARAGE FOR
TEMPLE OF JUSTICE

MACON, April 4.-Bibb county,
SO far as known, is the only county
in the state, or probably the United
States, which is using a garage for
courthouse.
This garage is no galvanized iron
rooted structure but freproof,
concrete building, erected by the
late Fl. ]. Lamar as one of the big
gest automobile sa1esrooms, show
rooms, shop as a building equipped
with everything necessary to cause a
man to part with his money to ride
the highways in luxury.
Bibb county voted half million
dollars in bonds recently for the
erection of a new courthouse. After
the concrete framework of one sec
tion of the building had been built,
the county officersA ranging from
the Judges down to the deputy
sheriffs, were ordreed to move out
and make way for the new strue-
ture.
To obtain a place for the county
officers, the Bibb county commits
sioners leased the H. j. Lamar build
inc, huge two-tory structure, and
the various county offices were NOV
ed into this building.
It is expected that new courthouse
will be completed during the summer
as the work is being pushed forward
rapidly by an Atlanta contractor.
