WORKMEN ARE BUSY AT
SITE 0E NEW PLANT
Contractor T. L. Granberry, with a
force of carpenters, broke dirt early
Monday morning at the site of the
great new power plant, and the first
bulldlng-to go up in connection there
with is now in pricess of construe
tlon, and will be completed within
three or four days.
This is a storage department for
shipments of lime and cement.
But in addition to this, dirt will be
broken this week for the foundations
of the main plant, for which Lockwood
Bros., of Columbus, are now prepar
ing plans as fast as possible.
This firm drew the plans for the
Americus Y. M. C. A. building, the
Agricultural College, and many of
the handsomest private residences
and business buildings here. It is
expected that the firm will be ready
this week to submit plans for the
electric power plant.
Working on Muln Building
This main building will be 115 by
40 feet, and located immediately next
the city's pumping station. The lines
have been staked off already, and one
day this week, in all probability
workmen will begin digging out the
foundations for the heavy concrete
work.
Twenty-five carloads gravel, or
dered Saturday of the Alabama Sand
and Gravel Co., though F. B. Arthur,
local secretary, will arrive this week.
Three hundred thousand brick, or
dered last week from the Standard
Brick Co., of Macon, will also arrive
this week, It is said. All of thlB
material Is to be used in the con
struction of the big power plant
building, the completion of which
will be expedlatcd.
This can be finished and the ma
chinery installed within ninety days
after a start is once made.
Ordered to Push Operations
A telegram was received here yes
terday from President A. N. Walker,
who is in Scranton, for a few days,
ordering the company's representa
tives here to push work upon the
new plant as rapidly as possible.
Shipments of machinery will very
soon be ready.
In the meantime the company will
close the deal for a park site as
soon as possible, as told at length
In Sunday's TImes-Recorder, and
work upon the park will be pushed
also.
. Notice
I want to say to all who are indebt
ed to the late flm of C. S ,S. Horne &
Co., that In settling with my deceased
son's widow I paid her all of the
cash on hand and took their accounts
tor Iny part, having confidence that
they would settle soon. Many of these
accounts have not been paid. They
amount to a considerable sum and
would help me very much , in my
present condition. These accounts
separately are for small amounts and
I know each man who owes me could
raise enough to pay me. I don't ask
charity, bjit only what is my due to
enable me to rebuild my house, which
recently burned without insurance,
and supply my family. Respectfully,
C. S.'S. HORNE.

ATLANTA, GA., March 9.—(Special)
—The speech of Gov. Hoke Smith ‘' at
Decatur today, where he was greet
ed by an Interested audience, for
mally opens the gubernatorial cam
palgn, whether It is to he a one
sided or two sided one. Friends of
Hon. Joseph M. Brown are anxiously
awaiting the next move from him on
the iiolltlcal chessboard.
The governor, apparently, has
fear of opposition, and If Mr. Brown
announces It Is believed that his
policy will be one of unconcern,
rather, disdain.
Governor Smith’s next speech will
be at Covington and after that he
expects to deliver about one speech
a week until the June primary.
Mr. Ilronn Is Being Frged
Regarding the probability of his
candidacy for governor in opposition
to Gov. Smith, Mr. Brown says:
"I have received scores of letters
and appeals coming from every sec
tion of the State urging me to be'
come a candidate. I feel grateful tc
my fellow-citizens for these egres
sions of confidence and support and
shall give them that respectful con
sideration to which I feel ‘they are
entitled.”
Mr. Brown refused to discuss in
any way the probability of Mr. Wat-
son'B supporting him.
Mr. Brown will not do much speech-
making. He is not an orator. It Is
probable that he will travel about
the state and meet the people, and
make informal talks. However, his
principal method of gaining the ear
of the voter will be through the eyes
—by using the newspapers.
It is said that good campaigners
have volunteered' their services
case he announces his candidacy.
The Attitude of YVnison
The position of Thomas E. Watson
in the prospective campaign is puz
zling a great many persons about the
capitoi. He has taken occasion to
criticize the administration pretty
severely in recent Issues of his sheet.
It is known that he is “out” with the
governor—on account of being turn
ed down In the Glover case, If for
nothing else.
Whether or not he will advocate the
nomination of Joseph M. Brown Is
not known, it is stated that Mr.
Brown has assurances that the Popu-
list leader will not oppose him.
Prison Commissioners
ft. R. Foster of Mllledgeville, Jesse
Mercer of Fitzgerald, Wiley Wil
liams of Columbus, and R. F. Davidson
of Gainesville tare In the field for
prison commissioner to succeed Tom
Eason, who will not seek re-election.
Judge H. W. Powell of Vienna and
Captain R. H. Mllledge and Matt
Cook are prospective candidates for
(he same office.
The active campaign so far has'
been between Judge Foster and Chief
WIIHajns, the others not being very
active.
NO DANGER OF DOORS
IN SCHOOLS OF CITY
Should a fire, or panic, occur in
either of the Americus school build
ings, the result would not be attended
with serious, if not fatal consequen
ces. The receipt holocaust at Cleve
land, wherein 170 innocent little lives
were blotted out by fire, calls atten
tion to the construction of exits in
all school buildings and in the Am
ericas schools, as elsewhere, it 'is
found that all the doors open upon the
outside of the halls, Instead of in
side. Closed doors was the cause of so
many deaths In the Cleveland funeral
pyre. One of the scenes of supreme
horror that attended the fire occur
red at the rear doorway of the
building before the firemen arrived.
This door, like the one In front, open
ed inward, and it wns locked, the
children were plied up high against
it, nnd when it finally was broken
down by their weight nnd because
of the tire that had partly burned and
weakened It, those who had gathered
on the outside, saw before them a
mass of white faces and struggling
bodies.

MATTIN
It Matters About
the
Nothing adds so much to
the attractiveness of a pretty
home as does pretty matting,
and the season approaches
when the sitting room, the
parlor and sleeping rooms as
well should be given their
new spring dressing. From
the standpoint of attractive*
ness and sanitation, nothing
equals matting as a floor cov
ering. *
