LITTLE COCAINE IS
SOLD IN AMERICUS,
Dope Fiends Here Have Not ACQUIRED
Habit.
COCAINE PROVES TOO COSTLY.
And Alcohol Remains the Favorite
Here-LOcal Druggist Sell Very
Little of Deadly Drug as Price Is
Beyond the Reach of Many.

While the cocaine habit is filing the
prisons of Atlanta, Savannah and 9th
ers of the larger cities having a dense
population, necessitating the passage
of the most stringent laws regulating
the sale of the deadly drug, Americus
is free of the "habit" and of its poor
victims.
Alcohol and little morphine seems
tofill the bill, locally.
As SO much is being said just now
relative to the widespread use of CO.
came as stimulant, especially among
negroes, The Times-Recorder has
made an investigation here.
One of the leading druggists said
yesterday, in reply to inquiry relative
to his sales of cocaine, that the stuff is
not bought by negroes here, and real
ly that very little was sold at all. Evil
IDENTIFY, he thought, people who used
stimulants had not acquired this terri.
BILE habit.
It is the worst of all ''dope" habits,
and said to be incurable.
Then too, the cost of cocaine is ex.
horbitaut, the wholesale price being
eighty dollars per pound. 1t retails a,
Sc, so per ounce, and dimes worth ia
about enough for small drunk.

years past and just few this year,
but yesterday proved record break
er, Often in July and August, the
dullest period of the year, have more
people been seen upon the streets

sponsible to great degree, but the
fact that every farmer in the county is
busy in his fields accounted for ''condl-
tions as they exist. Not a half dozen
people came from the country yester-
day, and merchants were put to their

BRINGS BACK THE EXECUTIONS.
Sheriff Finds Dozens of Them Paid
Already.

A month ago Tax Collector Dunn
turned over to Sheriff Bell batch of
perhaps two thousand fifas issued
against tax defaulters, mostly for the
year 1900. The officers went to work
and collected several hundred of the
ffas, but in numerous instances where
they attempted to make levies the par
ties against whom the fifas were issued
would produce tax receipts, showing
that an error had been made some
where. Yesterday Sheriff Bell went
upon another Ievying tour, but after
presenting dozen fifas, and having
eleven receipts for taxes drawn on him,
he bundled up the entire lot of tifas,
perhaps a thousand, and turned them
back to the tax collectors Office.

BARR is GOING TO
MAKE QUITE A CUT,
In Operating Expenses of seaboard
Railway.
MANY CHANGES ARE EXPECTED
Under The Regime of New General
Manager-Presldent Williams Says
Ratio of Operating Expenses is too
Great and Must be Cut.

Immediate and radical changes are
expected to ensue when John NJ Barr
takes charge OF the Seaboard as vice
president and general manager. His
appointment is recognized as one of
the most significant and important on
any southern road.
Without decrying his predecessors,
opinion is universal that Mr.. Barr is
possibly the strongest man that has
ever held the position OF general man
ager of the Seaboard.
He is regarded as the strongest man
the road could have secured.
The development of the policy he
will pursue is awaited with some in
terest. It is believed that the large
holders of the Seaboard securities have
not been satisfied with the manage
ment of the road in the past, nor its
earnings.
President Williams has said that the
ratio of operating expenses was too
great and must be reduced.
