WILSON-RODGERS.
Mr. and Mrs. G. /. "ilson, of
Tampa, Fla., announce the
ment of their daughter, Lucille, to
Ralph Ansley Rodgers, the weddin?
to take place’ the latter part of June.
This announcement is of cordia 1
interest to many friends in Ameri
cus. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Rodgers,
parents of the groom-elect, resided
in Americus until four years ago
when they removed their home to
Tampa.
Mr. Rodgers is a young man of
splendid worth and ability. His voice
has pleased upon many occasions in
Tampa, where he is connected with
the Methodist church, and his affable
manner has won for him many ad- i
miners. His talent for sculpture is
noteworthy, inasmuch as he has ex
ecuted several very creditable bits of
chalk into figures.
After a brief honeymoon following
the wedding, the young people will
make their home in Tampa, where
Mr. Rodgers is engaged in business.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
PRINTERS, TOO
FIGHT $lO TAX
Favor Raise for Teachers
But on Advalorem
Levy Basis
Further discussion of the needs of
the city schools and the proposition
1 to levy a commutation tax to supply
money declared to be necessary for
I their support, took place yesterday
when the organized printers of Amer-
I icus added their “me too’’ to protest
i against the proposed tax. In addi-
I tion to opposing the levy as unequal,
! the organization sets up that such a
j tax would “make for litigation and
‘ dissention,” a condition they appar
ently would avoid. In support of
their postion they cite certain legal
authorities, which it is asserted, bear
them out in opposing the tax as an il
legal levy. To the proposition to
give the teachers a living wage and
one that will enable them to liv ? well,
the printers heartily assent.
One especially interesting fea
ture of the meeting was the pas
sage of a resolution asking the sec
t retary to advertise a local tax bill
which would permit the tax rate here
being increased, it being 'declared
that having the way prepared for
the introduction of such a bill would
avoid any “elimination by substitu
; tion” such as is proposed by certain
interests here, and to which the
' printers object unanimously. The
i main resolutions ask for publication
b” the city of all tax returns by each
taxpayer.
The resolutions adopted are brief,
and as stated by one of the officers
of the union, are intended to set
forth the position of the organization
toward the tax clearly and definitely,
as well as to assist in clarifying the
situation, looking toward some unan
imous solution of the problem before
the community. The resolutions fol
low:
, “Whereas It has come to the no-
tice of this organization that a pro
posed commutation tax of $lO on each
male resident of Americus has been
suggested by the Rotary Club, the
Kiwanis Club, and other organiza
tions of Americus; and,
“Whereas, It is proposed to use
the funds raised in this way to make
up a deficit in the school funds of
Americus; and,
“Whereas, This tax in the form
proposed is obviously unfair to men
who work for wages, and there are
many other and more satisfactory
means of raising the necessary funds:
be it,
“Resolved, Bv this organization in
meeting assembled;
“1. That this organization go on
record as opposed to the proposed
levy;
“2. That this organization is heart
ily in favor of teachers in the public
schools being paid a living wage out
of funds raised by ad valorem taxes;
upon property values;
“3. That the proposed levy in the
form suggested could not be enforc-

Blend of Cocoanut and Palm Oils
Makes Best Shampoo
A shampoo prepared properly from
a blend of cocanut and palm oils is i
by far the best to use. These two
oils are prescribed often in their raw ,
state for diseases of the scalp and
hair. Shuco Shampoo is a perfect;
blend of these two oils perfectly sa
ponified and suspended in a solution i
free from impurities and injuriousi
matter. Two or three teaspoonfuls !
applied to the wetted hair and rub
bed briskly at once changes into a I
bushel of sparkling, bubbling, i
creamy lather that vanishes all dirt
and dust, and leaves the hair and
scalp perfectly clean. It leaves no
stickiness, harshness or filmy sub
stance in the hair. Makes it brilliant,
soft, fluffy and wavy. It completely
rinses out and can be used as often as
you like without the slightest possi
bility or injury to the hair or scalp. |
