MEANING OF THE BILL
CUTTING OUT NEGRO
N
Disfranchisement Bill Now Up
to the Governor.
ATLANTA, August 15. —The dis
franchisement bill having passed both
the House and Senate, that most im
; portant measure is now up to Gov
■ ernor Smith for his official signature,
and will at once command his atten
tion.
Anjl he will sign it with even more
gusto than he did the State prohibi
■ tion'bill a few days ago.
The bill, as passed in the House,
went through by a vote x>f 159 to
* 16, showing the willingness of mem
bers to bow to the administration.
The bill, as passed, must necessari
ly enfranchise some negroes and
disfranchise some white men in or
. der not to be in opposition to the
Constitution of the United States.
j Voter's Qualifications.
In addition to the qualifications now
, required for voting, the bill prescribes
that the would-be voter must be eli
gible under at least one of the follow
. ing provisions:
First —All persons who served in
any war of the United States, the
Confederacy, or the state of Geor
* gia; or
Second —Ail persons lawfully de
.* scended from any such soldiers; or
Third—-All persons of good char
acter who understands the duties and
obligations of citizenship; or
Fourth—All persons who can read
correctly and who can write cor
rectly when read to them in the
English language any paragraph of
the constitution of the United States
or the state of Georgia; or
Fifth—Any person who is the .ow
ner of forty acres of land on which
’ he lives; or
Sixth—Any person who owns five
hundred (500) dollars’ worth of prop-
I erty in the state of Georgia as shown
" by the tax digest.
The bill is an imperfect one, in that
negroes who own the required amount
of property can vote, while poor and
ignorant whites, who do not come up
to qualifications required, are denied
the right of the ballot.
' The Governor will readily sign his
pet measure, as it stands.

MONEY IS PROMISED
FOR MOVING CROP
Cortelyou Will Follow the Ex
ample Set by Shaw.
•
NEW YORK, August 15.—Secretary
Cortelyou, has decided again to come
to the relief of the money market
and distribute government funds to
aid in the movement of the crop this
year.
The plan pursued last year is to
be followed, with some modifications,
hut in general it will be that adopt
ed by Secretary Shaw in his re
gime.
One of the ideas now in the minds
of the officers is that* the government
should place its funds in'the banks
subject to withdrawal' by check.
It is not expected that anything like
the amount needed last year will be
called for this season.

GROCERS ARE GIVEN
' LITTLE MORE GRACE
1 Have Until Oct. Ist to Dispose
of Old Stocks.
r Americus grocers, some of whom

3 not conform to the Pure Food Laws,
. will be given a few days more of
2 grace wherein they may clear their
. shelves of such articles as are put
[. under the ban. •
r , The following letter from Commis
• sioner Hudson upon the subject ex
plains itself:
, To whom it may concern:—Many
3 letters coming in to the Department
of Agriculture from country mer
. chants, grocers and others make it evi
. dent that many have misunderstood
- tlie law, and have not yet cleared their
shelves of all goods which may pqssi
bly not comply with the requirements
of the new Food and Drugs Act of
Georgia, which became effective Aug
ust Ist.
In order that we may work no
hardship on any one, we advise that
all such goods be disposed of prompt
ly, and that in future jur home mer
chants eutg’’ m no contracts and
pi. rchas(jrgoods without specifying
and requiring that they be guaranteed
by the seller under the National and
State Food and Drugs Act.
After the first day of October we
shall expect to find every one pre
pared to met the most rigid require
ments of the law. Very truly yours,

ONLY TWO DAYS TO
PULL UP THE SHEDS
Mandate of the CouncifWill Ex
» pire Tomorrow.
Within two days, forty-eight hours,
exactly, the city council will turn in
, the griglit light of day where now
stands those ancient obstructions to
the light, the. sheds at Mims corner
and artesian corner. At the last
meeting of the council peremptory no
tice was given the shed owners to
remove them within ten days, else tlie
mailed fist of the city would be
felt in their immediate demolition.
1 But evidently the shed owners did not
1 take the matter seriously, as, the old
sheds still stand, and will probably
be there when the city gets ready to
. tear them down. By the way, there
• are a half dozen rotten old sheds on
Cotton avenue, long ordered removed,
but which are still standing on the
. exempted list.
THECARS ARE HERE
, BUT NOT FOR USE
Americus Has Had This Equip
ment all the While.
t
Some practical joker gave credu
lous ones here a long walk in the
• hot sun yesterday by reporting the
.. arrival of eight electric cars at the
electric plant, and forthwith several
hundred of the unemployed took an
hour off from the chair heating job
and went down to see the equip
ment. The cars were really there all
right enough, and had been there
. for a dozen years. They are a heri
, tage left by the former company
which built in Americus the first
electric street railway in the State
I of Georgia, a fact of which we are
, still proud. The cars are types of
l that period; antiquated little rat traps
and will form no part of the splen
did equipment which the new or
• ganization, the Americus Railway &
l Light Co., will send speeding through
. our streets within the next six
months.
. The Limit of Life.
i
The most eniment medical scien
tists are unanimous in the conclu
sion that the generally accepted lim
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
• which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its
. duration, seems to be betwen £0
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness
i ing fatal to longevity. Nature’s best
