LEGALITY OF 60NDS IS
SET FORTH IN FILL
In Opinion as Rendered By
City Attorney.
Col. Sheppard in Opin
ion to Chairman El
dr id ge of Finance
Committee.
While there is really no question re
garding the validity of the issue of
110,000 of bonds of the city of Ameri
cus for the Agricultural College here,
City Attorney J. E . Sheppard has thor
oughly reviewed the entire matter of
bond issue for the complete satisfac
tion of the City Council, and submit
ted his opinion in writing to Chairman
G. M. Eidridge of the finance commit
tee of that body at a recent meeting.
Under this opinion the council has
proceeded to dispose of the entire is
sue of bonds, the city’s bond commis
sion taking the securities at par and
accrued interest.
The opinion of City Attorney Shep
pard is of public interest, and is here
with given in full:
(’lty Attorney’s Opinion.
Americus, Ga., Dec. Ist, 1909.
Mr. G. M. Eidridge, Chairman Finance
Committee:
Dear Sir—l take this means of giv
ing you my opinion of the questions
submitted to me by you a few days
ago.
I understand that you ask two ques
tions:
First—Are the bonds issued by the
Mayor and City Council of Americus,
known as the Agricultural school
bonds, legal?
Seconds—Cap the Bond Commission
ers of the city purchase these bonds?
Ab to the first question I wish to
say that these bonds were regularly
validated by an order of the Superior
Court on May 4th, 1007. (Minute
Book "S," pages 256-7.
Our Supreme Court, in case of
BtJTcer vs. City "of (Sirtersvllle, 127 Ga.,
ppt. decided that: *
1 ""The judgment of a Superior CbtHAi
validating an issue of bonds by a mu
nicipality is conclusive as to the city,
; ts citizens, and every one else; that
the city has the legal right to incur
i debt of the amount and for the pur
poses indicated in the notice of the
bond election; that the assent of the
qualified voters has been obtaine for
the issuance of the bonds In the man
ner required by law, and upon all
other questions which the constitution
and laws required to be determined
before authority is conferred upon a
municipality to incur a debt.”
This decision is based on two for
mer decisions reported in 119 Ga., 885
and 117 Ga., 280. Under these decis
ions I think that the school bonds,
after being validated, cannot be at
tacked by anyone, but are binding on
the city and all citizens.
As to the second question, I will
say that the resolution creating the
bond commission as found in section
ill of the revised code of the City of
Americus, provides that “said commis
sion is authorized and empowered
* * * to take charge of, keep and
care for, such surplus, subject to the
order of the Mayor and City Council of
Americus, as a sinking fund for the
payment of the principal of the out
standing bonds of this city as they
mature and become due, and to invest
such surplus, as in its Judgment, may
be for the best interest of the City of
Americus, in bonds of this city or
other good securities of equal solven
cy."
Under the terms of this resolution
I think the commission has authority
to invest any surplus money in the
Agricultural School bonds. Yours
truly. J. E. SHEPPARD,
City Attorney.

BATEMAN WAS UNARMED WHEN
SHOT DOWN BY HARPER.
In C’rilical ('Audition at Hospital in
Macon.
Macon, G., Dec. 10.—Clabe T. Bate
man is still at the Macon hospital,
where he was carried Wednesday af
ternoon from his home in Byron, suf
fering from a shot through the abdo
men which has been considered fatal
by physicians attending.
A. T. Harper, a lawyer, who shot'
Bateman, is now in the custody of the
sheriff of Houston county.
Harper fired four shots at Bateman
at the depot at noon Wednesday when
the two men were about to clash.
Bateman was unarmed and made no
fight. Bateman is town marshal. The
two men had had an old grudge for
some time and domestic troubles are
said to have played a part.
Bateman was brought to Macon im
mediately on a train and is being
treated here.

PLUMBERS GET HUBBY GALL;
PIPES CHUGGED BY ICE.
Freezing Days Come to Americas Well
In Advance.
The merrimental toot of the übiqui
tous Americus plumber, mingled with
the groans of the unlucky home owner
who had neglected to cut off the
water, blended in unharmonious dis
cord yesterday. For the water pipes
—many of them—were frozen fast,
and it costs money to put in new ones
and make plumberical- repairs. The
freeze yesterday morning caught
house owners unawares, but it means
diamonds in the stocking of the poor
plumber two weeks from today.

iHOSI.S OF BUYERS ARE
At READY IN STORES.
Merchants in Americus in
Rush Line.
Americus people, safely and sanely,
are already busy at holiday buying,
j and the crowded stores every day
! this week have reflected the excellent
business done by the merchants. The
tide Is on, and during the next two
weeks will be resistless.
People are buying now instead of
waiting until the last week, the last
day, the final hour, when stocks are
broken and buying unsatisfactory.
Just two weeks—twelve buying
, days—reprqin to the shopper,
j The advantage of early shopping
. is set forth in the following excelled
j reasons presented by the Constitution,
and which apply with equal force to
the Americus holiday hustler:
Firstly—lt helps the merchant, the
man who invests his time, talent aud
tin, searching the wide world over to
satisfy your Christmas whims. Grati
tude is both ealnt-1 ike and opportune
at Christmastlde,
Secondly—lt helps the salespeople,
the tired men and women who stand
behind counters and are paid to
please. Just think of the salvage,
brain and religion secured.
Thirdly—lt helps you, the greatest
risk. The law of reflection is uni
versal—what helps others, helps you.
You get back what you give out,
“pressed down, running over" in sat
isfaction, gratitude.
It is insane to jeopardize "life, liber
ty and the pursuit of happiness" in a
mad effort to get waited on all at once
at the last minute, when hundreds of
others are "jeopardizing” for the
same thing.
It is insane to expect to skim cream
when there is nothing left but whey
and clabber.
It is insane to expect prompt de
liveries of purchases when hundreds
of others with equal rights are de
manding the same thing.
It is selfish sometimes to be un
selfish—to want to save yourself and
thereby save others. The law of self
preservation in this instance preserves
both ways.
The merchant is satisfied because
the merchandise moves; the sales
people are satisfied because you and
the boss are satisfied, and you are
satisfied because you "came; you saw;
you conquered.”
It saves time, temper, talk trouble
tin, tension and turmoil, and other
things too terrible to tell at this time.
The way the devil catches so many
people is making them think they are
just dodging him.
RESOLUTION IS OFFERED

Hi* Location.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 10.—The return
to St. Luke church, Columbus, of Dr
■ Bascom Anthony by the recent session
of the South Georgia conference re
calls an Interesting incident which re
sulted largely in the transfer of this
, able minister from this church some
eight’ or nine years ago, after he had
served only one year. During the con
troversy over the acceptance by Bar
bee and Smith, agents and publishers
of the M. E. Church, of the much talk
ed of “tainted” money, Dr. Anthony,
taking a decided position against its
acceptance, severely arraigned every
Ohe connected with the affair. Dr. J.
W. Hinton, deceased, was then presid
ing elder of the Columbus district and
a member of the committee from this
conference which recommended the
acceptance of the so-called ‘tainted
money." The position of Dr. Anthony
on the matter was widely commented
on and his opposition to the accept
ance of the fund caused the friends
of Dr. Hinton at S;. Luke church to
come to his defense in the contro
versy, which became quite spirited
for a while. It is said that it was due
largely to this incident that Dr. An
thony was transferred at the endjfyof
the year to another charge, notwith
standing the fact his ministry here
was a success in every particular and
ii vyas with the greatest regret that
the members of the church gave him
up. The incident is now history, both
Dr. Hinton and those taking his part
in the controversy here having passed
away since that time.

New York, Dec. 10.r-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook’s personal lawyer, Henry
Wellington Wack, has severed rela
tions with his client. Mr. AVack re
fused last night to confirm or deny his
withdrawal, but it < j be affirmed ou
competent authority that after a con
sultation with his partners Mr. Wack
wrote Dr. Cook so long ago as Nov.
30, that he must beg him to seek log.ik
advice elsewhere.
"I haven’t the remotest idea," said
Mr. Wack, "where Dr. Cook is keep
ing himself or why he persists in se
clusion when his presence is vital to
his own interests and his friends. Per

abroad.
"One thing, however, is certain—
there is agreement for the first time
among those who have always believer
Dr. Cook discovered the North Pole
those who have never believed and
those who have waited to be informed
on disinterested authority. Partisans
and skeptics alike now concede cer
tain cardinal facts which admit of no
argument, namely:
“Dr. Cook has sent his records to
the I niversity of Copenhagen for the
inspection of a commission. Two men
—one a broker who says he acted as
go-between and one a skilled naviga
tor—have sworn they supplied the
doctor with a complete set of fabri
cated observations, covering his trip
northward step by step to the pole, in
agreement with his narratives as uni
versally published.
"The sworn statements carry within
themselves their own proof or dis
proof."
