plans OF NEW SCHOOL
ACCLPTED BY BOARD
Building Will Be Started
Very Soon.
Edifice Will Be Hand
some One and Splen
did Addition To
School Facilities
A splendid addition to Americus
public school facilities will soon be
afforded in the handsome and mod
ern building to be erected on Elm
avenue, Rees park, the plans of which
have been executed by Architect T. F.
Lockwood of Columbus and accepted
by the board of education.
A fine drawing of the proposed
building, made and exhibited here,
shows one which will meet all require
ments for many years.
The building is designed to cost
about $20,000, exclusive of the site,
and will afford accommodation for
several hundred pupils. Every requi
site of the modern school building
will be included in the plans.
The material to be used in its con
struction will be pressed brick, with
trimmings of granite or oolitic lime
stone. It will contain nine large class
rooms, besides offices for the super
intendent and board of education, to
gether with an auditorium seating 700
or 800 people.
This latter and much needed feature
of the buialding is designed for com
mencement occasions or similar as
semblages. It will contain both par
quette and balcony.
Entering from the Elm avenue
front, the offices on either side are
designed for the superintendent and
the school board. A spacious hallway
leads to the audittorium which oc
cupies the centre and rear of the first
floor of the edifice.
Five large, airy and well ventilated
classrooms are upon the first floor,
with four of equal dimension upon the
second. The general arangement of
the biulding is admirable and reflects
the painstaking care of the architect
in providing all the needs required.
The exterior of the building is mas-
Vand handsome. It fronts east on
Rees Park, which, with its six acres,
will afford a magnificent playground
for the pupils.
The new building will thus be cen
trally located, and easily accessible
from all parts of the city. It is de
signed to acommodate the advanced
grades largely, as Furlow school, re
cently rebuilt and improved at a cost
of $4,000, will easily accommodate all
the lower grades.
When the new building is completed
in the early spring of next year Amer
icus will have splendid school accom
modation for 1,200 pupils, or 500 more
than the highest enrollment yet re
corded.

TARIFF LAW DESIGNED TO
HELP THE MILLIONAIRES
New York, Oct. 2.—The schedule of
the new tariff, which places on the
free list foreign art works, more than
20 years old, is producing some queer
results at the start. There is reported
from the large custom houses, notably
New York, a flood of paintings and
statuary never known before. The
art room at the appraisers’ office is
crowded with examples. Among them
is said to be a Van Dyck valued at
$200,000.

SALE OF THE WINDSOR ]
SEEMS NOW ASSURED j
Property Will Be Dis
posed oF Shortly
The sale of the Hotel Windsor
which seems asured at an early date,
is a subject of interest in Americus
and just now is being discussed to a
considerable extent. The sale of the
hotel property has been authorized
by order of the court at the minimum
price of $60,000, of which sum SI,OOO,
it is stipulated, shall go as commis
sions to the agent effecting the sale.
While the property cost, originally,
something like $135,000, there is no
immediate prospect of a sale, even at
the amount named in the order of the
court. Mr. Crawford Wheatley, re
ceiver for the property, has given no
tice that no further bids for the proiJ
erty at private sale will be received
after 12 o’clock, noon, October 10th—
one week hence. All bids thus made
will be opened and submitted to the
court for confirmation. If the hotel
property does not bring a price satis
factory in this manner it will prob
ably be advertised and sold at public
outcry to the highest and best bidder.
It is reported that parties in Americus
amply able to buy the property, are
contemplating such course, as are one
or two others, non-residents. It
seems pretty well assured that the
sale of the hotel will soon be effect
ed in some manner.

New York, Oct. 2.—lt is to be a
polar year in fashions. The polar hat,

furs are expected daily. Any woman
who is so far behind the times as not
to boast of at least one polar costume
will be quite out of fashion’s rays, and
there is a great possibility of the fad

HUTCHINS TO BEGIN AT
ONCE HIS DUTIES
As Member of Ihe Prison
Board
A Lawyer of Ability,
His Appointment By
Gov. Brown a
Good One
(Special to Times-Recoider.)
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 2.—The appoint
ment by Governor Brown yesterday of
Hon. G. R. Hutchens, a well known
lawyer of Cedartown, to fill the vacan
cy on the prison commission caused
by the death of Judge Turner, did
not come as a surprise. For some
weeks past it was known that Judge
Turner could not recover and Govern
or Brown selected Mr. Hutchens and
secured his consent some time ago.
Judge Turner was the only lawyer
on the commission and in considering
his successor the governor naturally
planned to appoint another lawyer.
This was made necessary on account
of the fact that the commission is
positively in need of legal advice.
Mr. Hutchens was one of Governor
Brown's most ardent supporters in
the last campaign. At the time of his
appointment Mr. Hutchens was re
garded as one of the strongest candi
dates for congress from the Seventh
district. It will be recalled that he
made a good race for congress some
years ago, al hough entering the cam
paign at a late date.
Mr. Hutchens was already in the
city yesterday when his appointment
was formally announced. He went to
the capitol, where he took the oath of
office and received his commission. It
Is understood that he wflll be elected
chairman of the commission at the
meeting of that body next Monday. It
is said Capt. Wiley Williams will
place him in nomination.
AUTHOR SEEN IN AMERICUS
IN CAST OF “ST. ELMO.”
Beautiful Flay to Be Presented Wed
nesday Evening.
Manager Morgan of the opera house
was advised yesterday that Neil
Twomey, who dramatized Mrs. Augus
ta Evans Wilson’s novel, “St. Elmo,”
would appear in Americus with the
company presenting it next Wednes
day evening, taking the leading role.
The company is playing to enthusi
astic audiences everywhere and espe
cially in Georgia, where the scenes of
“St. Elmo” are laid.
The success which has attended the
exploitation of Augusta J. Evans’
novel, “St. Elmo,” in dramatic form,
has revived popular interest in the
work of the famous southern author
ess. So far as selling powers go, she
was one of the most successful novel
ists in America.
When she was eleven years old her
family moved from Columbus, Ga., to
San Antonio, Tex., which soon be
came the headquarters of the troops
sent to assist Gen. Taylor. Their glit
tering uniforms and exciting events
incident to war, with the exquisite
scenery about the place, furnished the
theme for “Inez, a Tale of the Ala
mo.”
It was not until she published
, “Buelah,” however, that she tasted
the fruits of substantial success. That
work ran through edition after edi
tion.
“St. Elmo,” of course, was Miss
Evans’ great success.
Its sale was tremendous, and ham
lets, hotels, steamboats and country
seats were named in its hono 1- . The
book contains a description of the Taj
Mahal, and a traveler visiting the
spot records the fact that he discov
ered a Parsee boy in the shadow of
the tomb reading the London edition
of one of the author’s books.
For “Vashti,” which followed, the
author in a single check, while it was
still in manuscript, was paid $15,000.

)GOV. BROWN TO REMAIN
IN OFFICE AT CAPITOL
Forced To Decline Mdpy
Invitations
Finds it Impossible to
Accept the Many In
vitations to Attend
Gatherings.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Atlanta, Oct. 2.—Gov. Joseph M.
Brown is forced by pressure of public
business to decline many invitations
of cities to attend fairs and like occa
sions, for if he accepted half of those
extended hint he would be away from
the capital fully one-third of the time
during October and November, and to
the neglect of official business.
And it is always business before
pleasure with Gov. Brown.
The governor has found It necessa
ry, therefore, to decline practically all
such invitations, and aside from,a trip
to Carrollton next Tuesday to attend j
the opening of the Fourth district Ag
ricultural schol, and a trip in No
vember to Macon, Augusta and Sa
vannah with President Taft he will
not go away from his office, unless
important matters arise to take him.
While he would personally like to
accept the open-handed hospitality of
fered him at so many places, Governor
Brown recognizes that duty calls him
to remain in his office every day pos
sible. People come from all parts of
the state every day to consult him
about matters of importance, and he
feels that it would be an injustice to
them to be away so much.
