The contract for an operating

seven thousand dollars and will be
as carefully planned and equipped

When completed, it will give Thom-
nsvllle as comfortable and modern
an operating pavilion as any of tho
larger hospitals boast.
There will be five rooms In the
building, one the operating room,
a sterilizing room, an Instrument
room, a doctor's dressing room and
nn anaesthetizing room. The pa
vilion will be connected with the
main hospital and will be at the
north side of the building. Work
will start at once.
This, It will be remembered, is the
result of a gift by four very gen
erous winter visitors to Thomasville,
Col. O. H. Payne, Mr. H. M. Hanna,
Mr. J. H. Wado and Mrs. ,1. C.
Morse. In addition to this, It Is
understood that the Hospital
recently received a gift of live thou
sand dollars, to be added to the en
dowment fund.
The directors have also decided
to have an elevator put into tho
main building to transfer patients
tc and from the second floor.

BUILDING FEEL
FARMERS DO CHORES
BY ELECTRICITY
(By Associated Press.)
Atlanta, Feb. 26.—James I. Gil
lespie, a fireman, was killed, and a
dozen others had narrow escapes,
when a building at tho corner of
Whitehall and Trinity streets col-
ha* la P s€d ear ly today.
Six Inmates of the building, warn
ed by the several shocks, had found
refuge on the roof of an adjoining
structure, or had been rescued by
firemen, when the crash came.
The terrific noise frightened the
horses attached to five pieces of fire
apparatus, and they ! ran away in all
directions.
Patrolman James Chapman was
struck by one of the fire trucks a.id
seriously Injured.
Atlanta, Feb. 27.—Leading agri-
* cultural officials at the capital pre
diet that within the present genera
tion farmer boys in Georgia will be
doing their routine choree by elec-
ericlty, giving them nkw opportunity
to devote their physical and mental
strength to crop Improvement and
agricultural development. The put
ting of electric power w'ithin the
reach of every farmer, they say, will
eliminate the dullest and most weari
some routine of farm work not only
increasing efficiency hut making
farm life less of a drudgery.
With the wonderful natural power
resources of Georgia already being
harnessed into use, and tower lines
carrying this power into all the ru
ral sections of the state, it is be
lieved that only a short time will
elapse before these changes in farm
life com« to pass.
It is an interesting fact that tho
Georgia Railway & Power Company,
in carrying out Its immense devel
opment at Tallulah Falls, la pro
ceeding on this theory, i. e., that
electricity will be used in -a very
short time Just ns much on the
Georgia farm as in the Georgia city.
Local fans are very much delight
ed to know that the Empire State
League is a certainty and that
will be composed of teams 'from
Brunswick, Waycross, Valdosta,
Thomasville, AraeiMcus and Cordel
The plans for organization are un
der way and In a short time tho
hundred dollars from each club for
national protection and other
penses will be called for.
The local directors are called
meet tomorrow afternoon to get in
shape to meet this demand and to
make plans for getting grounds,
players and other arrangements
which are necessary at this stage of
the game. Manager Dudley has
been notified of the fact that there
to be a league and has been in
structed to get players.
Definite plans will be announced
a« soon as possible and the lo-igue
schedule published. Thomacville
opens in Valdosta and plays
fourth of July game here In’ the
morning and In Valdosta ip the af
ternoon.

There will be a Mass Meeting of
citizens of Thomagvllle i/ J>Oth ladies
and gentlemen, next Thursday even
ing, March 6th, at the City Hall or
the Court House. This meeting U
to be called by the Parent-Teachers'
Association and is for the purpose
of bringing the bond issue for
schools closer to the i>eople who
will settle the matter at tho polls.
The ladles have the co-operation
of the Board of Education and the
City Fathers and they have
ranged for two speeches on that oc
casion, one to be made by Mayor
Luke and one by Judge H. W. Hop
kins. Both will be nn intelligent
and forceful discussion of school
bonds, and the need of them at the
present time. A musical program
has also been arranged -for the oc
casion.
It Is probable that one of the lar
gest gatherings of Its ki«d that *hc
ity has ever known will be pres
ent at that time. The question is
one of live Interest and the result
should work to the Interest of bonds
for tho school.
what sort of people, morally, tho
man and woman both were. He had
three or four other wives, or near
wives. She had three or four other
husbands, or near-husbands. Neither
of them had anything even ap
proaching social standing in this or
any other city, so far as the detec
tives can learn.
In spite of these facts, the Apple
baum killing is the big sensation of!
the moment in Atlanta. The local'
newspapers have made It so.
(From Tuesday’s Daily.)
The City Council met last nighi
and remained in session about an
hour. The first matter up for dis
cussion were amendments to the
License Ordinance. The Mayor
stated that the city could not collect
that portion of the ordinance relat
ing to professional men. He took
occasion, however, to rap tho law
yers in tho Legislature who passed
a law exempting thoraselves front
license taxes and put it on real es
tate men, insurance men and many
others. He eaid, “It is a shame that
such men would legislate for them
selves.” The tax was taken off the
license ordinance by vote.
The license for bill posters was
changed so as to be thirty-seven dol
lars and fifty cent9 and to allow
five thousand square feet of post.ng
space; all over that to be charged
for at the rate of one cent per
square foot. Alderman McDoug
aid mentioned a bond for pressing
clubs of two hundred dol'ars, to in
sure patrons the money for any
clothing which the clubr lost or
seriously damaged, but thl3 was not
taken up.
Alderman Bennett introduced an
ordinance to compel the merchants
doing business on the paved streets
to have the front of their places
swept off Saturday ight, the city ob
ligating Itself to have the trash re
moved before Sunday morning.
This was put on its second read
ing.
Alderman McDougala Introduced
an ordinance which will make it a
penal offeuce for auto driver® to
use what is commonly known as a
“muffler cut-out,’ and the ordin
ance also delegated the same pen*
alty to motorcycle riders who use
this device to the extreme annoy
ance of many people. This was also
put on its second reading.
The police petitioned for uniforms
and the city council decided to do as
they have been doing in that matter
that is, paying half of the cost ^f|
the uniform.

Washington, Feb. 25.—The kill
ing by bandits of Boris Corow,
American citizen, at Los Laurele3,
Hacienda Tepac, last Sunday, when
three other Americans and a Span
iard escaped, was reported here to
day, with Information that Ambas
sador Wilson had requested the
Huerta Government to send troops
for the Americans* protection.
Volunteers in Chihuahua City
are reported in arms against tho
Huerta Government.
Consul Edwards, who reports the
situation at Juarez strained, says
that all former military civil offi
cials continue to hold their posts.
*'n<le Sam May Accept Official Ver
sion on Death of Madero.
Washington, Feb. 25.—Now that
the first shock of the tragic deaths
of Ex-Pnsldent Madero and Ex-Vice-
Presideut Suarez has passed, the
officials here are beginning to accept
the official version of the affair.
Unquestionably they believe that
great carelessness was exhibited in
failing to protect the prisoners, but
that the offense was less than a de
liberate plot to murder. It Is pointed
out.
Ambassador Wilson will be per
mitted to continue to exercise his
own discretion *n dealing with tho
new- government.

(From Tuesday’s Daily.)
Mayor Luke spent another inter
esting thirty minutes with the
wicked of the city yesterday after
noon and ho made some of them
wear tearful faces as they left hie
presence to get up big fines or work
on*the city streets.
Will Owens, a negro, was accused
of giving a bottle of alcohol to the
negro women who were working on
the streets. They got drunk and
then exposed Will. He said
didn’t do it, but in the face of the
direct testimony that he did, the
Mayor fined Will a hundred dollars
or ninety days on the streets, and
told him if he didn’t have enough
in that time, to give them another
pint and he would endeavor to re
peat the dose. The Mayor said that
some of the negroes had also been
Tcelvlng cocaine by some similar
route and warned them against this
practice, as it would inevitably lead
to exposure and consequent punish-,
ment for their messenger.
