FARMERS ARE FIGHTING GRASS
And None Quit Work TO Come Here
Yesterday.

Americus has rarely witnessed such
a dull and quiet day as was yesterday.
All told, there were not half dozen
farmers in the city, so busy are they at
home killing grass, and when they fail
to come to town the effect is quite per-
ceptible. Good crops mean prosperity
next fall, and nothing but hard work
Just now will insure that result.

A WHOOPING COUGH PARTY.
Children With Disease Have a Pleasant
Evening and Get UOODs as FayOrs.

The social life at Tottenvile. Staten
Island, has been unusually gay this sum
meg, but an epidemic of whooping cough
broke out among the children of the sum
mer visitors. A dance at the Bentley
Manor Country Club house had TO be aban-
doned owing TO the disease, and the outing
of the AquahonRa Club at Arbutus Lake
was so slimly attended that the people
came home in the middle Of the afternoon.
A careful carvass was made of those who
had whooping cough in their homes and
a novel scheme was decided upon. AS
those who did not have whooping cough
were afraid TO associate with those who
did, MIS- y. j. Lowe who has three chill
dren i'll with the disease, planned whoop-
ing cough party and invited only those
in the summer colony who had children
sick with the malady, or who had just re-
covered.
II was great whooping and coughing
time. but much laughter mingled with the
coughs All the children received as
favors little hoops. Tied TO each one was
a little bag of cough drops.
The whooping cough party created such
a stir in the Tottenville summer colony
that some jealousy arose among those who
we're not invited, even if they did not have
whooping cough in their families, and to
allay all i'll feeling, dance for those who
did not have whooping cough was arranged
at the Bentley Manor clubhouse for The
same night

Health Department Inspectors Accused OF
Taking Graft From Plum bers.

CHICAGO, July 27.--Stories of bribery

Grand Jury this afternoon by witnesses
secured by the Citizens Association. Ao-
cording to the witnesses the payments
made TO various inspectors were Of sums
ranging from 500 to $50.
Richard Gehrke. a plumber, testified
that he had paid Inspector John s. Kelly
500 and Rudolph +. kocher testified that he
paid Kelly 500, the final installment Of
which was given the assistant chief inspec-
tor short time ago, The rest OF the testi-
mony covered q period Of from five 10
six yenrs.
Assistant States Attorney Blair spent
two days in looking up the law covering the
charges made against the inspectors.
After consult ng authori les he held that tho
men could not be indicted Tor bribery, but
could be prosecuted for malieasance The
charge wac then changed TO malfeasance
by the acceptance Of bribes.
