Americus Negro Shot BY Alabama Of
ficer.

Mote Williams, who claims to be an
Americus negro, prospecting oyer in
Phoenix CHy, Ala has struck a lead
mine that promises TO pay rich, having
mined two Examples" already. The
town marshal was in quest of game
and coming upon Williams attempted
to arrest him as the party wanted,
though mistake had been made.
Williams, without waiting to explain,
telephoned his pistol pocket, but ere he
could produce gun or other hardware
the marshal had plugged him twice.
Neither of the bullet wounds are at all
dangerous.

The Stomach is tt 9 Man,

weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food he
eats into nOurishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot di-
gest enough food to feed the tissues and
revive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure cleanses, purifies, sweetens and
strengthens the glands and membranes
of the stomach, and cures Indigestion,

Ever ready to reward the faithful in
his Eemploy, and recognizing the just
ness of paying full value for their labor
Uncle Sam is going to increase the pay
of the entire clerical force in the Amer
icus postoffice, and make few promo
tons among them for the general good
of the service.
For with increased work, Uncle Sam
one of the very few who believe in ar
increased payroll,
And it is a fact that the business of
the postotfice here has very largely in
creased. The number of employees is
the same, however, and will be paid
commensurate with their work, as it
as seems right and just.
A very happy solution of the labor
question always.
Application for an increase in the
salaries of Postmaster f. P. Mitchell
and Assistant Postmaster FL. G.. Mitch
ell has been made and IS pending.
There is no doubt but that under the
circumstances, the application will be
granted, as the work entailed upon
these officials has increased.
In the meanwhile the pay Of the
clerical force has been raised
Alex Sullivan is promoted from
stamper to general delivery clerk with
an increase of 5000 in his salary. @.
D. Elmore Is promoted to the stamper' &
place and his salary increased 500 PEI
annum.
Mailing Clerk Tony Howard also
gets an increase of $500.
This new schedule oflsalaries is effec.
tive July 1st. the beginning of the ifs.
cal year, and it is expected that the
other increase asked for will likewise
be granted.
Within the past four years, or since
the incumbency of the late Postmaster
Smith, the business of the Americas
postoffice has increased 100 per cent.
10 the betterment of the service, o re-
quest Will alsosbe made for at least one
more city carrier, as this territory is
too great for the force employed.
There is no better index of city
commercial prosperity than it's postal
receipts, and with an increase of 1OC
per cent in four years Americas is still
at the front.

RECEIVER FOR PIANO COMPANY.
Argument in Dent Case Was Heard
Yesterday

At chambers yesterday Judge z. A.
Llttlejohn heard the prayer of various
creditors of the A. L Dent Piano Co
for the appointment of permanent re-
ceiver. For several weeks past the
remnant of stock of the concern, con-
sisting of eight or nine small parlor or
gans, has been in the possession of
Sheriff Bell as temporary receiver.
The proceedings yesterday were resist
ed by Mr.. Ponder, an employee of the
concern who holds bill of sale to the
organs, given by Manager Dent day
or two prior to his departure from
Americus. 1t is claimed that Balm
bridge is the home office of the piano
company. This and other points are
to be considered in the application for
permanent receiver in Sumter superior
court. The case was argued at con-
siderable length, Judge Littleiohn re-
serving his decision for a time.
