for. paying state and county taxes,
After that date the books are closed
and tax executlpns Issued. While Col
lector I. B. Small has receipted many
here for their taxes the number
small In comparison to those who
have dodged the Issue and defesred
the sad hour of cash separation. The
county and stale tax this year Is $14
on each $1,000 of property—a pretty
steep rate. Fulton county pays only
$11, but then Americus Is not as large
and wealthy as Atlanta—yet. It Is
expected that the rush on the office
will be greatest toward the latter part
of the week, and for this reason Mi*.
Small urges that taxpayers hurry up
and avoid the rush at the last mo
ment. Property subject to state and
county tax Includes dll real estate In
the city and In the county, as well as
personal property.

ELECTION OF CHIEF IS
SOON TO TAKE PLACE
Vacancy
Will Not Occur
Until January.
It will probably be January 1st ere
Americus’ new chief of police Is sel
ected by the board of police com
missioners. Interest therein has
been manifested since the election
of Police Chief Feagln to the sheriff’s
office, and whlleHt la generally be
lieved that Lieut. Barrow will suc
ceed to the vacancy the commission,
ers have given no Intimation of their
action in the premises. Lieut. Bar.
row has been upon the police force
a long number of years which fact,
coupled with his experience as an
officer, would lead to the,conclusion
that promotion ,would be ^tven him
now. As Chief Feagin’s term of of
fice does nob expire for a year and
a half yet, there is no vacancy In
the chiefs office until he tenders
his resignation ^January 1st to enter
upon his new duties as sheriff.
HOBDED BY OLD GAME
OF WORK OF YEARS
Minneapolis, Mina., Dec. 16.—R. F.
dealer from
Cavalier County, North Dakota,' on I Fine Events Will Be Pulled
Starting a Forest In Tin Cans.
A new and unique Industry 'is de
scribed in the January Popular Me
chanic,. A /Western man has been
his way to Heidelberg, Germany, was
fleeced by an old-fashioned Confidence
game and lost $7,105 In this city to
day.
The old man was waiting for
train for Chicago. A man came and
sat, down by him and began a con
versation. The two walked up the
street together when a man ran up
to them and spoke to Cargell’s new
acuqaintance. He wore a cap on
which was a band with “Express
Agent” on It.
"That package Is up there,” he
said, "but there Is a charge on it
which must be paid before you can
take It out.”
Cargell’s acquaintance pulled out
his pockfetbook, took a check from
It, and asked Cargell If he would
accommodate him with some money
until he got the check cashed.
Cargell consented and when he
took a wallet out of hts pocket, hand
ed bis grip containing $7,000 In gold
and currency to his new acquaintance
to hold. After he gave him the $105
he took the grip back. Cargell went
back, to the depot. After he sat
there a while suspicion" came to his
mind. He opened the grip and In it
were four beer bottles—nothing
more.. '

AT PARK ON 26TH
Off There.
The Americus Driving Club Is
ranging for'a fine bunch of races at
the driving park, scheduled for Sat
urday, 26tb, the day after Christ
mas. The'suggestion has met. with
great favor, and already the officers
of the club are busy In preparation
therefor. The program will be made

It is expected that Flashlight, Maxle

good one and it will be a lively
finale to thp Christman festivities.

Findlay, Ohio, December 16.—A
Hancock County school teacher while
hearing a class some points In the
history of the country, tested the
knowledge of the juveniles by asking
who was the first occupant of the nlzed.
All the Amortcus public schools and
the Third District Agricultural Col
lege'will close tomorrow for the
Christmas holidays and a thousand
happy pupils, care free for weeks,
will go tripping back home again:
The Agricultural College will turn
loose its hundred pupils, and while a
few may remain at the dormitory the
major portion of them will go home.
Many of the students reside’ in
counties nearly a hundred miles
away, and these may prefer to stay
here rather than make' the long trip.
This Is not known, however, and all
of them may go home.
This session In the agricultural col
lege has been a highly’ successful one,
and the Americus school Is ahead of
nny of the eleven district colleges es
tablished In the state.
The college will give a holiday' of
two weeks.
The Americus public schools will
have three cr four weeks, resuming
some time early In January. The
session has not been unusually try
ing, yet the need of a more extended
holiday than ever before was recog-

AMERICAN WIVES USELESS!
Don’t Help Husbands, But Only

Writer.
New York, Dec. 17.—That Ameri
can wives taka no Interest In their
husbands' business, but only in
spending the money they provide, and
that os a consequence “America Is
full of sad-eyed and well-dressed wo
men utterly without power," are
only a few of the startling declara
tions mode by Mrs. Mary Heaton
Voree In the course of an article pub
lished in the January Appleton's In
which sheattempts to prove that Am
erican women exercise less real In
fluence than those of other nations.
American women are better edu
cated, mqye Indulged and more In
consequential than those of any of
the leading countries of the worlds
she asserts and holds that in point
of actual power and Influence the
women of France, Germany, Italy
and England far exceed those of
this country. Her reason for this
point of view she sums up in the
statement that “business bores most
American women.'” In all the other
countries which she mentions women
take an active part in the business or
politics. According to hint. Vorse,
France Is the country where women
are most powerful. In the United
States they are only the- most In
dulged. \
Referring to the superior educa
tion of American women the Apple-
ton article says, “The question has
arisen In the minds of the thought
ful of late whether the . education
open tu women Ills them for their
' work In the world as well as It might.
Women In foreign countries, by co
operating with their husbands In
business, exert almost equal
