To Men’s - Clothes Wearers
You are offered daily, all kinds
of clothes to wear; some good, some
bad, some dishonest.
The dishonest clothes are those
made of fabrics adulterated with
“mercerized cotton;” made to look
like all-wool and sure to wear like
part cotton.
The dishonesty is in the looks
that deceive you; not in the fabric,
or in the dealer. There’s nothing dis
honest in a “mercerized cotton’ 5 fab
ric if you know what it is; some deal
ers don’t know.
The country is full of this stuff—
clothes that cheat; they look honest
and they cost honest; but they’re a
fraud; and you’ll find it when you
wear them.
Hart Shaffner & Marx’s clothes
stand for all-wool, and no “mercer
ized” cotton; if you find their label
that’s what you get.

PROGRESS ON STREET
RAILWAY PLANS
Important Developments
May be Expected Soon.
Satisfactory progress is being made
by President Walker, of the new street
railway, and his assistants in starting
off the undertaking. Though he has
been here only two days, Pres. Walker
has gone over with his lieutenants the
preliminary details of the projects.
A part of the time has been spent
in driving over the streets in the sou
thern part of the city. A number of
possible routes are before the com
pany, but no decision has been reach
ed as to the streets to be traversed.
The matter of the placing of orders
for all the necessary equipment is
still to be fully'decided.
The presence of Consulting En
gineer Reeves has been of great as
sistance in considering the various
propositions and has simplified mat
ters very considerably.
Affairs have not reached a point
where there *s anything definite to
give out, though during the coming
week developments of importance may
be reported.

LIBRARY IS PLACED AT
DISPOSAL OF COUNCIL
As Proposed Site Carnegie
Library.
The centrally located and valuable
property of the Americus Library As
sociation has been formally tendered
the city council for the proposed Car
negie Library. This was done at
the annual meeting of the Library
Association on Friday evening.
And this generosity upon the part
of the Association is highly com
mended, as it assures to Americus a
handsome $20,000 librabry, if the city
council concurs therein.
Correspondence with Mr. Carnegie
regarding the desired donation of $20,-
000 is now in progress.
The usual condition upon which
these generous gifts are made is that
the city accepting the library bind it
self to appropriate annually, 10 per
cent of the donation towards the cost
of maintainauce, a condition which is
accepted by all cities.
In the event Americus receive* $20,-
00 from Mr, Carnegie, it will cost the
city $2,000 annually to maintain the
library.
The city council has taken no form
al action as yet upon this proposition,
having referred the matter for the
present to a committee of that body
for investigation and report.
The desire upon the part of the peo
ple of Americus for a handsome mar
ble library building, costing $20,000,
and coming as a gift from, the great
philanthropist, Mr. Carnegie, very
general, and hope is expressed that
the movement will be successful.
The Americus Library Association
owns a comfortable building and val
uable lot in the business centre, and
this is tendered ttie city council for
the purpose indicated. The library
is not supported as it should be, and
the proposed change is desirable.
At the recent meeting of the Asso
ciation Mr. Crawford Wheatley was
re-elected president and Mr. Thomas
Harrold vice-president, with a full
board of directors.
ARRANGING SERIES
OF MUSICAL EVENTS

Prof. E. H. McNeil, director of the
Americus School of Music, ir arrang
ing for a series of musical concerts
to be given by celebrities from a dis
tance during March and April. The !
coming of the attractions will depend j
in considerable measure upon the en- ;
couragement with which he meets j
among music lovers of the city.
As at present contemplated, the
course will consist of a series of
five events —a contralto solo from
Paris, a male quartette with chimes,
a concert company with violinist, pian
ist and dramatic tenor, a tenor, and
lastly Ralph Bingham.

the work done by his school. Three

NO PROTEST IS FILED
TO TAKING OFF TRAIN
Americus Will Be Terminal
Point.
i That Americus will be made the
| terminal point for Central train No.
j g how operated between Atlanta and
Albany and arriving in Americus at
10:40 p. m.„ seems assured, as the
Railroad Commission will doubtless
take favorable action upon the peti
tion of the company. The records of
the railroad show that the patronage
of this train between Americus and
Albany has steadily fallen off since
that all night train between Albany
and Atlanta, with sleeping car ser
vice, was established. It is not likely
that any opposition to the Central’s
plan to discontinue this train will de
velop in Albany,
SCHOOL ON WHEELS IS

culture, and who is accompanying the
train upon its tour o f the State, stop

Best Attraction at Theatre
Monday.
The Ladies Auxiliary, G. I. A. to the
B. L. E. has arranged with Manager
Lucas for a benefit performance of
the moving pictures Monday, and the
yim manifested already by these will
ing workers Insures the finest moving
picture attraction yet presented. The
G. I. A. members are selling hundreds
of tickets, and a crowded house to
morrow will ‘reward their efforts.

mance, beginning at 5 o’clock, p. m.,
and lasting until 10, requiring one

NO CUTTING IN SCALE
OF WAGE IS EXPECTED
By Employes of Seaboard
Shops Here.
It is not expected by employes of
the Seaboard shops in Americus that
there will be any reduction in the
present wage scale now in operation
here. Messrs. O. M. Hansford, C.
J. Hammond and G. J. Witt, represent
ing respectively the machinists, boil
ermakers and blacksmiths, unions
here, have been in Portsmouth dur
ing the past two days, where with
other representatives of unions on
this system they were summoned by
the officials for a conference. Tele
grams received yesterday from two of
these representatives Indicated the
pleasing fact that there would be no
wage reduction at this time, in their
opinion.
POLITICAL HITS IN
MINSTREL SHOW
Coming of Donnelly & Hat
field Big Event.
As this is a big political year, the
Donnelly and Hatfield Minstrels, who
appear Wednesday matinee and night
at the opera house, are making a big
hit with the work of Tommy Donnel
ly, who presents himself in the guise
of Judge Taft-I-Candy in a political
absurdity which he calls “The Ora
tors.” Other members of the cast
assist in the caricature, Gov. Bowen
taking the part of the ward heeler
and Pat Ryan the district messenger
boy. This little piece is said to be
a mirth provoker of the first water.
The Brock way Brothers do a dancing
stunt in Part 1 which is very clevef.
The Georgia Blues” also contributes
a dancing feature, the curtain des
cending on a squad of dusky recruits
enjoying an old fashioned “negro ring
around.”
In speaking of the coming attrac
tion yesterday, Manager Lucas. of
| the opera house, said:
“It was hard to get a matinee for
| the ladies and children, but I did my
best to convince the manager that
this would be profitable to the com
pany. It gives an opportunity for
many ladies and children to come out
who otherwise would not be able to
see the show. The scenery will be
-under my management and I can pro
mise that the full setting will be giv
en. Everybody who enjoys a tip-top
minstrel show should come out Wed
nesday.

RAILROAD WATCHES
AT AUCTION MONDAY
Flicker's Jewelry Sale
Draws Big Crowds.
Railroad watches at your own price
will be the feature of Fl icker’s auction
sale tomorrow at 2:30 and 7:30 p. m.
It has been decided to continue the
sale a few days longer.
The prices at which jewelry and
other valuables sold the past week in
sure great bargains in these watches,
which Auctioneer Raven has instruc
tions to let go to the highest bidder,
regardless of real value.
Interest in these auction sales grew'
as the week progressed until towards
the close standing room was at a
premium, with more than a hun
derd enthusiastic ladies on the look
out for bargains. Those who attend
ed the sales saw that some of the
greatest bargains ever spread before
them in this high class of goods were
being obtained.
It is the intention of Fricker &
Bro., to reduce their stock at least
one-half, regardless of price, and the
firm decided that the only practical
way to do this quickly was to put up
any article in the store, without res
erve, for sale to the highest bidder.
This has clearly demonstrated that the
sale was bona fide in every way, noth
ing being held back from the choice
stock of diamonds, et cetera. The rep
utation of this house and the high
grade of the articles offered are the
magnets -which draw the cro-wds.
The sale is attracting the represen
tative people of Americus each after
noon and evening, for proof of which
statement it is only necessary to go
down and take a look at the buyers
at the matinee or at night.
Included in the offerings are dia
monds, watches, cut glass, Pickard’s
famous hand-painted china, beautiful
gilt mantel clocks, Gorham silver, —
which is known to everybody,—all are
being sold at prices below the cost
of production. If you are looking for
diamonds, either for your own use or
for investment, the safest place to buy,
and the cheapest, is at Fricker’s sale.
It only lasts a few days more. Just
follow the crowd and get what you
want at your own price.
At each sale tickets are given away
for the most handsome and costly gifts
ever offered in this section. The tick
ets issued during the past week will
continue to participate in the distri
bution this week.
For Monday afternoon the prize will
be a superb pierced silver bowl. This
was exhibited to the crowds yesterday
afternoon and at night, and evoked
many favorable expressions. The
winner will have cause to congratu
late herself on the possession of such
a kasdsom* gift.
