MAYOR HAWKINS. HAS
MADE FINE REGORD
Sinking Fund a Monument
To Administration
Col. E. A. Hawkins, who laid down
the scepter as Mayor of Americus on
Wednesday night, has filled the office
for three terms in succession. He
was first elected in 1902. then In 1901
and again in 1906.
Daring his incumbency. Mayor
Hawkins has 'made a most exceileht
record. One of the most Important
movements Inaugurated by him was
the setting aside of a sinking fund to
retire the bonds. In the years of his
regnancy the bonded debt has been
reduced from 5141,000 to 5112,500, with
some 510,000 in the hands of the bond
commission for this purpose, the
price of the bonds in tho market be
ing so high that it was'considered bet
ter policy to wait to purchase until
nearer their maturity.
Along with the reduction In the
bonded debt, has come a material re
duction in the amount of Interest,
which payment has been cut nearly in
half.
COL E. A. HAWKINS.
Who Has Retired From Mayor's Chair
After Three Successive Terms.
When Mayor Hawkins went into
office, streets In the residence section
were without paved sidewalks, this
luxury being available only in the
business section. The amount spent
in this way has steadily increased un
til for the last fiscal year it was the
largest in the history of the munici
pality. The city has made groat
strides in size and beauty as well.
Another Improvement was In the
employment of a better method ot
keeping accounts, which has simpli
fied the books of the city to a large ex
tent and made Information readily
available. The city waterworks have
also been enclosed and the wells pro
tected.
Being a leading member of the bar,
Col. Hawkins has been able to keep
the city within safe channels at all
times. His administration could be
fairly described as a conservative one.
Having served the people for three
terms, he did not care to stand for
reelectlon, a determination which his
friends learned months before tho
election, and his name was not urged
for the position.
Col. Hawkins will > devote all of his
time to the law, his practice being
large and lucrative. In retiring to
private life Col. Hawkins carries with
him the esteem of his fellow citizens,
and a consciousness that he has ad
ministered the affairs of the city In a
manner acceptable to the people.

GARNFGIE LIBRARY
IS PROGRESSING
Will Likely Be Ready in
' Sixty Days.
Practically all of the brick and
stone work for the new Carnegie Li
brary was completed yesterday. The
roof is framed, and all in all the struc
ture is beginning to take on a some
what finished appearance.
In front two columns, with orna
mental caps, adorn the entrlnce,
while fancy wreaths decorate tho stone
work.
By the middle of January it Is ex
pected that ail of the exterior work
will be done, and in another month
the whole building will be ready.
There will then only remain the item
of furnishings to make the library
ready for occupancy. Early In the
spring it is not too much to expect
that the library can be opened.
An example In speed has been set
by the contractors, Messrs. Little &
Phillips, who have pushed tho work
from the very start A few minor de
lays have occured which will put off
the final day a little longer than the
contractors anticipated, yet even with
that the rapidity with which the struc
ture has gone up has been highly
gratifying to the board of trustees of
the library, and to the people generally
who have watched Its progress.

Lincoln, Dec. 28.—In the Commoner
Mr. Bryan says:
It is to be hoped that the Demo
crats in the Senate and House will
assist In the passage of the meas
ure providing for the postal savings
banks. The Democratic platform gave
a conditional indorsement to this plan
declaring for It If the guaranteed
bank could not be secured, and as It
Is the only measure that can possibly
pass during the next four years, the
neopie ought to be given the benefit
of It.
“The Democrats ought to endeavor
to perfect the Republican measure by
such amendments as may remove Its
objectionable features. The deposit
limit, for instance, ought to be rais
ed so that a larger number of per
sons can take advantage of the sav
ings bank, and deposit larger sums,
and the community ought to be pro
tected by a provision compelling the
Government to loan the money to the
bank or banks nearest the place of
deposit
'No discrimination should be per
mitted as to banks. The security
ought to be fixed and then all local
banks. State and national, be 'given
their share of deposits, proportioned
according to capital stock."

NO PROMISE NOT TO RUN

William J. Hryan.
Philadelphia, Penn., Dec. 28.—Wil
liam Jennings Bryan made a state
ment here defining his position with
regard to his future In politics. The
statement in part follows;
"I earnestly hope It will never be
necessary for mo ever to run again
for any public office. I prefer to do
my work as a private citizen hence
forth. When I have been asked, how
ever, whether I shall refuse to be a
candidate again, I have said that I
will never promise anybody not to be
a candidate for any office.
“The statement that I will not pro
mise to run again would not have
been volunteered by me. It has been
In answer to a question. I repeat I
do not see why the question should
he asked. The man who'asked It has
not In my opinion, horse sense.
"I want to say this, however, I am
still In politics. I expect to be In
politics for about 20 years more, and
I shall moke it convenient to be
present whenever a man or a group
of men attempt to Republicans the
Democratic party.
“I have no regrets about my course
in regard to Coloney Guffey. He de
liberately conspired to defeat the
will of the Democratic party In Penn
sylvania after It had been expressed
at the primaries, and I believe in the
right of the people to rule.”

TO BREAK OUT AFRESH
Americus Will Keep Rec

Next Friday, January 1st, will be
held the annual celebration of tbe

standard. It Is one of tho highest
forms of Joke, because It begins with
such tremendous solemnity. On New
Year’B Eve—It they con restrain tbelr
impatience for so long—on enormous
number of people will sit down and
with fluent pen, fill In the space un
der “January 1st, Friday"—so fluent.
Indeed, will their pens be that they
are likely to complain that tho al
lotted page is far too small. This Is
but a temporary Inconvenience. By
Jan| 3 the space will be found quite
sufficient; by tho 7th it will be found
enormous. It b about tho 10th that
the first fine layer of dust begins to
collect on the cover, and the season
does not reopen until the first of the
following year. In view of the in
tense yearning which every man and
woman has, in the abstract, to keep
a diary, It is very curious that, In the
concrete, when the task of writing Is
actually to be done, so few are found
to carry out tho work.

ing much excitemont In the little

During the post month citizens out
lato at night havo seen a strange man

Lights wero seen In tho school build
ing at a Into hour and somo people
declared they had soon a figure la
white flitting back and forth. ,
Automobiles without lights have
been seen in front of tho school.
Tho affair was explained through an
accident While Charles Watson wa»
ringing tho bell for recess Friday
it was turned over. Watson and an
other high school student climbed
through a trapdoor In the cellar to
tho belifry. They mounted a ladder
to the top door, but tho latter was
held down and they could not open
it. Watson and his companion look
ed through the bell rope hole and
say a mr.n standing on the trapdoor.
The boys were frightened and hurried
to tell tho principal, who kept watch
till the vlliago constable arrived.
Tho constable arrested tho man who
confessed to having played the ghost
upon sundry occasions. Upon his
person was found a bunch of keys, 26
in number. In tho belifry were flv*
suit cases, containing now clothing
of every description.
There wero a mattress, pillows,
beefsteak, milk, tea, and coffee, pipes,
tobacco, toilet articles, fountain pen.
and somo novels. In a ventilating
flue were found a gold watch, a load
ed revolver, and more clothing.
