LIGHT COMMISSION.
Annual Report Shows the
Plant to be Making
Nice Profit.
THE HISTORY OF
BIG TENT MEETING
THE CLANSMAN.
Sketch of This Remarka*
ble Play To Appear
Here Soon.
The annual report of the Water
uiul Light Commission for the
year ending September 1, 1008,
"has been filed with the city coun
cil and shows thut the plant has
made during that period, after
paying all the current expenses
and spending about $500 on re
pairing the boiler and other ma
chinery, about $5000 clear.
The commission is composed of
Messrs. A. S. Chamlee, W. R.
Thigpen, and C. M. Cason and
these gentlemen have been very
careful and painstaking in the
discharge of their duties and have
lmd a thorough knowledge of the
working of the plant at all times
and have used every effort possi
ble to put the plant on a paying
basis tor the city, and the nice
profit they have made shows how
well they have succeeded.
Since these gentlemen have
been in office the lighting system
has been placed in Tennille and
the commission has not had a
single kick from the people at
that place and the lights there
are giving perfect satisfaction.
The placing of the lights in Ten
nille w meeting with general ap
proval and is considered by every
one to be the best plan that could
be devised for lighting the two
towns, using only one power
house.
This report speaks well for every
one connected with the plant and
shows that we have the right men
in the right place.
CLOSED TUESDAY.
Was Greatest Revival Held
in Sandersville in
Several Years.

The enterprise of the School
Auditorium in securing “The
Clansman” for Tuesday evening,
October 20th, is to be commended
The Clansman is the most talked
of play ever produced in the Uni
ted States, and after its whirlwind
record of the past three seasons,
there will be keen anxiety to see
it here.
The Clansman for the first time
told the story of the South,
through the agency of the Ku
Klux Klun, recovered its liberties
and kept pure its Anglo-Saxon
civilization after the Civil War.
As was fitting, it was first played
in the South, its birthplace, and
achieved a hurricane success.
“The North must sea itl The
North must see it!” was assorted
by Southern newspapers and
statesman. And meantime North
ern croakers howled: “The North
won’t stand for it! The North
will boycott it!” Manager George
Rrannen accepted the challnnge,
presenting The Clansman in New
York City beginning January 8.
IfiOff The success of the New
York run was enormous. Five
distinct and seperate engagements
had to bo played in New York
the first season, and an equal
number the second and third sea
sons. An all summer run at Mc-
Viekor’s Theatre, Chicago, and
capacity engagements and re-en
gagements in St. Louis, Washing
ton, Baltimore, Kansas City and
other large cities have marked the
three years of the play in the
North.
The show will be at the School
Auditorium Tuesday evening
to her 20th.
The tent revival meetings which
have been in progress in this
city for the past two weeks
came to a close Tuesday night
after the most stirring scries of
meetings this city has heard in
many years. The meetings were
conducted by Rev. John B. Cul
pepper and his son Bourko. and
were assisted by Mr. John Morrow,
the singer. They preached very
strong and forceful sermons
throughout and their earnest en
deavors to turn the people of this
vicinity from their Binful way
will long be felt by the entire
community.
Mr. Culpepper was pastor of the
Washington circuit in this county
about eighteen years ago and has
a number of friends here who are
always glad for him to be with
them. Sunday night the largest
congregation who had been out at
all were present and listened to
a very strong sermon by Rev.
Bourke Culpepper, who held the
attention of the outire crowd very
closely. The congregation was
composed of people from Snnders-
viUe, Tennillo and almost every
part of the county.
The poachers left the city Wed
nesday to (ill other engagements
and carry with them the best
wishes of all the good people of
this section.

We Like to Talk Quality
When it Comes to Mens’ Clothing.
“Cheapness,” says a noted writer, “is a little better than
counterfeit money,—but only a little. It rnbB your custom,
the value they have been led to expect they would receive from their
purchase, and it usually ends by robbing you of customers. Qual
ity is really the foundation upon which to build a business because
it gives customers their money’s worth, full value, cent or cen ,
mid it brings them back season after season.
That is Why we TALK Quality and SELL Quality!
