As to Fast DriyinS.

Recently complaints have been coming
to our ears regarding the reckless driving
along the main throughfaies OF our town.
We have said nothing about it as we
were i'll hopes the reports were eXag
gerated and That the occurrences We're
rne. But we alc convinced that this
thing has gone t, the point where it is
III caSsIy 20 Gail halt before some
serious Injury is done to some one. l..
seems that the eastern portion of Main
street is usually selected for this speed
ing Cf teams. 1t must be remembered
that there are great many children on
this street and others of the town and
should one of them be run over and
killed or named for life it would be poor
consolation to hear expressions of regret.
There is no need for fast driving Oh The
public streets Of the town, and the
quicker stop is put to il the better.
We hope it will not become necessary
for us 10 say more along this line as we
believe ail that is necessary is 10 call the
attention of the city authorities to the
evil, and they will take the proper steps
to put final stop To it,

The Chiefs Quick Work.

a young miss came into the Cilice
Monday atternon and asked the cost OF
inserting an advertisements for lost
property. Upon inquiry we learned she
had just lost her gold watch and we
could see the tears yelling up in her eyes
as she told us of her loss Our sympathy
was at once aroused and recognizing that
quick work was necessary in this Case.
We told her we would see what could
be done. We Immediately 'phoned to-
police headquarters and fortuuftslY
caught the chief, Mr.. Israel, in and re-
lated the circumstances to him, and then
sent the young lady to tell him the par
ticulars Chief Israel started ont a:
once, and in half an hour handed the
happy girl her watch, He, 10y bis prompt

A PROCEEDING IN BANKRUPTCY
Marshal Takes Charge Of E. D. Ans
lev Stock.

The large grocery store of e. D. Ans
ley has been closed at the instIgation
of certain foreign creditors who have
Instituted bankruptcy proceedings
against him. and the stock of goods is
now in the possession of United States
Marshal John M. Barnes as receiver.
Mr.. Ansiey struggled braYely to
avert any disaster to his business, but
the climax was inevitable:
Had he been able to collect even a
small part of the large amount still
owing him by people who bought his
goods and refused to pay for them, he
, could have continued on.
The bankruptcy proceedings was in
stituted by a half dozen creditors,
mostly in New York, who were due
small amounts. The store was closed
by Deputy Marshal Henry Tucker, OF
Macon, for United States Marshal John
M. Barnes. who has also been appoint
ed receiver.
Mr., George T. White, an officer of
the United States Court, is here taking
stock.
The amount of Mr.. AnsIey's liabili-
ties and assets are not known yet, but
the former, it is thought, will scarcely
exceed $4,000 if 1t should even reach
that amount.
The stock of goods on hand may in
voice very nearly that sum, 1t is be-
lieved, and Will be converted into cash
as quickly as possible by the receiver.
All are high class goods, fresh and
well selected, and even under such
circumstances should sell well,
Sheer inability to collect money due
him is the cause of Mr.. Ansley's finan-
clal trouble.
As fast as any money could be COL
lected, however, it was applied to his
obligations, but some of the creditors
seemed unwilling to wait on this slow
process ard instituted suit.
Mr.. Ansley has, for nearly twenty
years, been one of Americus' most
prominent and enterprising business
men. He trusted people who, today,
ride in carriages and see him bank
rupt and still refuse to pay for the
meat and bread their families have
eaten.
Such is the result of a credit system
and rotten collection laws.
Mr.. Ansley has host of friends in
Americas and in the mercantile world
who hope soon TO see him upon his
feet again. There are no preferred
creditors, all sharing alike.

"Last summer had an attack of dys.

results. The trouble was controlled
much quicker than former attacks

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The Sun, .


All doctors have tried to cure CAT
ARR by the use of powders, acid gases,

The powerful acids used in the inhailers
have entirely eaten away the same men,

cure, while paste and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and expert

SHOOTERS looks SPLENDID AIM.

Fearful Melee.

Columbia, s. 9. July S.-News
reaches here of a Wholesale shooting
at frolic near Reeses, Orangeburg
county, two nights ago. This is one
of the most out of the way sections of
the state, and before the building of
the Southbound road these people
were forty miles from connection with
civilization. It seems that kinsmen
and neighbors gathered at the house
of Aaron Chavis and liquor flowed free
ly, so much so that none knew what
started the row, but pistols were
plentiful and they were used freely.
Knowlton Williams and Pope Chavis
were shot through the lungs and NOR
tally wounded. Mrs. Thomas Chavis
received bullets through both legs and
is in serious condition; Aaron Chavis
has bullet in his knee; Ansell Will
liams was shot in the head, while lobe
Hoovers and Dan Chavis received
slight wounds. No arrests have been
made.

heartburn.

WheI, the quantity of food taken is
too large or the quality too rich, heart
burn is likely to follow, and especially
so if the digestion has been weakened
by constipation. Eat slowly and not too
freely of easily digested food. Masti-
cate the food thoroughly. Let six
hours elapse between meals and when
you feel fullness and weight In the
region of the stomach after eating, in
dicating that you have eaten too much,

be avoided. For sale by all druggists.
