into the subject of securing more
money for Americus schools. He
first explained what he described as
the urgent need for additional funds,
if the schools are to function ade
quately in future, with provision tor
educating the children of the com- I
munity, and referred to the pressing
ing need for new housing facilities.
K'e emphatically stated that the ,
schools needed and must have more ,
funds, and demanded that at least 8
mills".be secure for them through
the passage of such legislation as
might be necessary to do this.
The school board, Mr. Dykes said,
is now using its entire income, and
is unable to rent any additional
quarters for housing, while every
room in the various schools now is
already crowded beyond its rated ca- ,
pacity. He said further that Ameri-

cus schools arc being continued up- ’
on the accredited list of the Univer- :
sity of Georgia only through cer
tain questionable methods of report- I
ing and that these could not be con- I
tinued indefinitely.
Competent teachers, too, Mr. '
Dvm - said, are in growing demand, '
and if the schools are to retain the
expei'.enced and able instructors i
they now have,, or secure others I
equally competent, provision must I
be made to pay salaries equal to :
those offered elsewhere.
Mr. Dykes then said that the I
Board of Education was anxious to |
agree w ith city council on a bill to ’
be presented the legislature during i
its session next month, but that if
council could not or would not agree :
to give that body the 8 mills tax it I
needs, and the board demands, that ’
the board would have its own bill ■
prepared and introduced..
In saying this, Mr. Dykes express
ed the opinion that the citizens and
taxpayers of Americus want the
schools to contMn:e to function in
the future as they have in the past,
and that they are willing to pay
whatever sum may be necessary to
maintain their present standard of
efficiency and ejcellenee. The
board, he said, was so strongly con
vinced upon this point that they
stood ready to go before the people
on the issue involved, staling that
the matter was put squarely up to i
council in such light.
The Board of Education, Mr. I
Dykes said, had refrained four years I
ago from pressing its claim for ad
ditional funds through a higher tax
levy at the request of the late May
or .1. E. Sheppard, J o at that time
had promised the board his influence •
in securing the levy now demanded, I
as soon as certain pressing obliga |
tions had been satisfied.
These obligations have now been
liquidated, he said ,and the board
could not longer wait for the funds >
necessary for operation of the
schools.
At the conclusion of Mr. Dykes’
address, Aiderman Mize moved that
council reconsider its action taken
recently when it was agreed to ask
re-enactment of the present emerg
ency tax act, which expire:, this year,
and which provides only 2 mills for
school purposes. This motion pre
vailed, and it was then agr, ed to ask
enactment of a similar bill provid
ing 3 mills for the schools and a
like amount for liquidating the float
ing indebtedness.
The new bill will be prepared by
City Attorney W. T. Lane this week
and its provisions agreed upon be
tween representatives ol the board
and council before it is finally hand
ed to Sumter county representatives
to be introduced.
Aiderman Witt last night opposed
the proposition of the school board,

ft is of interest to the general
• public to know Harrold Bros, has
recently placed a large set of ball
bearing truck anl wagon scales at
their place of business on Cotton
avenue capable of weighing 20,000
pounds.
For many years scales weighing
five to six thousand pounds have
been large enough for all purnoses”
Frank Harrold says “but •with the [
increasing use of automobile trucks,
larger scales have become a neces
sity.
“With the coming of the boll wee
vil, the farmers of this section have
had to turn their efforts rare to the
raising and selling of grain, velvet
beans, hogs, cattle, etc., all of which
requires careful weighing.
“The call for an accurate, large
capacity scale has become so acute,
Harrold Brothers has at an expense
of several hundred dollars installed
this modern set of Howe ball bearing
platform scales.
‘We also keep a complete carbon
copy record of every item weighed
for future reference by our custom
ers, if same is desired,” concluded
Mr. Harrold.

TRIBUTE TO FAMOUS
‘FORTY-NINE’ MINERS
Money talks —the banks realize
this fully as much as the rest ot’ the
world, ion the tenth folder of the
“Natural Resources” series of the
Empire Bank of Americus deals with
gold and silver and is fittingly called
The Language of Commerce.”
The real service of the “Forty-
Niners” and those who took part in
other gold rushes, it is points out,
goes far beyond the discovery of the
yellow metal that was the object of
their frenzied dash for new terri
tories. “Every gohd rush” to quote
from the article, “has marked an ex
pansion that has been a benefit in
other ways than mining, and far in
excess of the value of the gold pro
duced.” This is notably true in the
case of the famous Gold Rush of
49, with its attendant and!- subse
quent migrations from the East to
the West, resulting in the opening
up of the great middle western ag
ricultural regions. Alaska, too, it
points out, owes much ot its produc
tive development to the discovery of
its gold fields.
Os equal importance with the ag
ricultural development and the set
tlement of new territories that fol
lowed in the wake of the gold ex
plorations, has 'been the discovery
o fthe other metals such as copper
and iron, which have proved an even
greater source of wealth than the
gold and the silver which is unusual
ly found in. the same ore.
The article justifies the name it
has given these two metals “The
Language of Commerce” in its ex
planation of their use to set the
standard of money value.
