“ 1
sl4 Dill is Still Unpaid—
To-Night Doard Meet.
i Tonight the City Council meets.
• It is apt to be a meeting of some
: interest.
j Ol course the interest will chiefly
centre about the lighting business.
In one way or another the lighting
j business contributes to the enliven
: ment of Council proceedings with a
: regularity like that kept by a carefully
wound clock.
| This time the bill, the old, moss
‘ covered, well worn, often asked for,
but as yet still unpaid, bill of the
Southern Printers is apt to be the
pivot around which the talkfest will
revolve.
The sl4 still lingers cosily in the*
’ city treasury, the Southern Printers
j are still possessed of a yearnful feel
' ing, the ink is dry on the resolution
ordering the City Clerk to pay the ac
count, and the City Clerk still fails
to see things the same that the ma
jority of Council see them.
Here’s a how-do-you do.
If the Clerk pays the bill he is
fearful that it may mean trouble for
him.
‘lf he doesn’t pay the bill he is like
wise fearful that it may mean trouble
for him.
The Clerk has somewhat of the feel
iug of the raw recruit that has got
caught in between two firing parties
and can’t find a log to crawl into.
The bill was presented for payment
some time ago, somewhere around the
Fourth of July, if not sooner. It was
regularly passed for payment.
But the Mayor refused to sign it,
holding that it would be a defiance
of the mandate of Judge Littlejohn of
the Superior Court, and bring hint
into contempt of that august tribunal
for violating its injunction against
the city.
The majority of Council pooh-pooh
ed such an interpretation of the*
Judge’s decision.
But the Southern Printers kept on
whistling for the sl4.
Finally at the las '-BBeeting of Coun
cil Jhe matter calm? up again. The
Mayor '“again positively refused to
countenance the payment of the bill.
Then the majority of Council went
a step further aud by a vote of five
aldermen to one alderman and the
mayor positively ordered the Clerk;
and Treasurer to pay the bill.
The Southern Printers smilingly
went up to collect the sl4.
But the collector who went ' up
smilingly came down gloomily. No
payment, not honored, illegal, or
something of that sort, marked the
visit.
The question now is. what will
Council do tonight?
The Mayor won’t sign the bill.
The Treasurer won't pay the bill.
And yet five to one of the aldermen
positively command that the bill be
paid.
Will it be impeachment proceedings,
will it be mandamus proceedings, will
it be
Well, what will it be, anyway?

DEATH OF JOHN I. GRAHAM
AT HOME IN' ATLANTA.
Relatives in Americus have been
apprised of the death in Atlanta of
John Isham Graham, the twelve
year-old son of Mr. Charles Graham,
formerly of Americas, which occurred
two days ago. The lad was a nephew
of Messrs. George and Durell Graham
of this city.
Massachusetts Republicans are pok

“Mr. Taft’s tariff apologia.” But no
harsh things were said of Mr. Taft
while he remained at Beverly. Moral,

EINE PRICE FOR A
FARM IN SUMTER
$22,000 For Eleven Hun
dred Acres Land
1 The best test of the market value of
Sumter county land, anywhere within
twenty miles of Americus and upon
one of its justly celebrated “good
roads,” is an attempt to buy a farm.
Many sales have been effected in re
cent months and always at good
prices. A sale reported yesterday as
having just been closed a day or two
previous was that of the Worthy
farm, near Friendship, probably 12 or
14 miles from Americus. Mr. Sam
MeGarrah was the purchaser, and
$22,000 the handsome price paid. The
place containsl.loo acres, the price
netting S2O per acre. There were other
parties after this farm, and Mr. Me-
Garrah considers himself fortunate in
arriving first with the funds. Not a
few sales of small farms, 50 to 200
acres, have been made here at prices
ranging from $25 to S4O per acre, but
the sale yesterday of such a large
tract at S2O is considered very good.
