CALLED TO a GREAT REWARD.
Charles c. Sheppard of Sumter, Has
Passed Away,

In the death of Col. Charles @. Shep-
pard, which occurred at an early hour
yesterday morning at his home west of
Americus, this county and state loses
one of it's nobIest and best citizens, q
man of highest honor, character, prin-
ciple and moral worth.
And an entire community, that in
which for years he has exerted a great
infiuerce for good, Join in deep sorrow
at bis death, for few of his kind are
left for their guidance.
A beacon light IN life's pathway has
fallen; giant oak is rlfted.
Far beyond the allotted "three score
years and ten" he has worked unceas.
ing. Though past the Is milestone in
life's career, he YVES still of hale and
vigorous health until quite recently
when the maIady which resulted fatal
~ made its appearance.
No othor man could have met death
more readily and willingly. No other
here was better prepared.
Spiritually, he had long been ready
to answer at any moment his Master &
call. His business affairs had long been
arranged to that end, In ell respects
he was thoroughly prepared.
Col. Sheppard was born near San.
dersvllle, Washington county, rs years
ago. When yet young man he came
to this section to reside and for fifty
three years has lived here an honoreC
and respected citizen, beloved and es

who, with son and two daughters
G, G. Sheppard, Jr., Mrs. r. L May
nard and Mrs. r. s. Pryor survive him
Col. Sheppard was in the Confeder
ate service, doing well his duty Their
as in ell things. He was a zeaIou
member of Shiloh Baptist church
loving his church next to his family
Quite two years ago he celebrated witt
his good wife their golden wedding.
The good things that could be sal,
about Col. Sheppard; his charity
goodness and benevoIence would fl
columns, but praise of such man i
hollow words indeed, as he was knowl
of all men, and all men knowing him
loved and honored him.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed by Rev. r, i. Blvins and J.
Wellons this morning at Oak Grov
cemetery at II O'Clock. The pallbearer

REAPED HARVEST OF sHEKELs
Swapping Bessars lnfest Streets OF
The Citv,

Several strapping young white men,
too lazy TO work and who make beg
gIng profession, have infested the
town for several days and ply their vo-
cation upon the streets to the great an
noyance Of ladies and people generally.
Their only "claim" to charity is that
each has lost leg at the knee. But
there ere dozens of good men in
Americas and Sumter who have but
one leg, and all work industriously at
some occupation. 1t is such cattle as
these heggars that should be run out,
along with any other Migrants found
here. 1t is not charity to give to such
men, and thus encourage them in
idleness.

SNAKES LuRk IN THE CABBAGE
Many Deaths Result From Eating the
Greens,

Cabbage heads do not flourish in
Amerlcus-that is, the vegetable varie-
ty, but in north Georgia where cab.
bage fields take the place of cotton
fields the cabbage is proving more
deadly than our own watermelon. IT
has just been discovered that a small
snake, two inches long and about the
size of needle, lies in the cabbage
head and, cooked with it, imparts
deadly poison to the otherwise savorY
dish. Many people there have died
recently from eating poisoned cab
bage. When you thus indulge, see
that your cabbage is not the Gaines
Vile article and, if SO, that the snakes
have been carefully picked out.
Americas people can see plenty
snakes without looking for them in
cabbage heads.

THINKS ROADWAY a CERTAINTY
Great Hope of Building One Americus
to Anderson.

Americus people as we'll as citizens
of Andersonville and those living be-
tween the two towns express great con-
fidence in the ability of Congressman
E. B. Lewis to secure from Congress
an appropriation for the building of a
highway between this city and the
National cemetery. The need of such
highway has long been felt, and
it would be of inestimabIe advan-
tage. 1t is quite likely that several of
the Grand Army posts, who would be
glad to see this needed Improvement,
will join in the effort to be made to
have this important highway con-
structed.

VAST MULTITUDE WILL ATTEND
State Fair Has Opened Under Bright
Auspices.


Many Americus people, with deleea-
ton from other towns in this section
of the state, left yesterday for Macon
to attend the State Fair, which opened
under such fattering auspices. 1t is
going to be the greatest and best of all
fairs ever held in Georgia, and south
west Georgia people are going to do as
much to the end of making it a sue
cess as those of any other section.
Major r. f. Crittendep, for many years
- score of them perhaps-the eff.
cient general manager of the state fair,
was in Americus yesterday, going up
on the morning train to be present and
take part in the opening ceremonies.
The success of this aud other state
fairs is largely due to the superior
management and indefatigable efforts
of Maior CrIttenden who has ever
labored to the end of putting to the
front Georgia's magnificent agricul-
tural resources. Capt. John A Cobb, of
Americas, is director of the fair and,
like Manager Orittenden has ever
labored for its great success. Both OF
these gentlemen state that the Central
City has promised to do everything
possible for the success of Georgla's
great agricultural convocetion. Every
body will feel sat home" with the
state fair IN Macon, and all those who
attend may feel sure of good time
and the very best accommodation

NIP IT IN THE BUD.
First Appearance of DandruR a Fore
runner of Future Badness.

That such is the case has been con-
clusively proven by scientific research.
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist declares that dandruff is the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes 1ifeless,
and, in time, falls out. This can be pre-
vented.
Newbro's Herpicide kills this dandruff
germ, and restores the hair to it's natural
softness and abundancy.
Herpicide is now used by thousands of
people-all satisfied that it is the most
wonderful hair preparation on the mar
ket to-day.

"IN THE SWEAT OF THY FACE"

"In the beginning, God created the heavens
and the earth."
After the creation of the heavens and the
earth, God created man.
1t is of no consequence when the creation
occurred, or how long the period of creation.
1t does not matter 10 us whether God took six
days for creation or ten millions of years. The
earth is created, and God is the creator. 1t is
not material to us whether God created man by
the word of His mouth or evolved him from
the snail. We have beings we call men, and
God is the author of their existence. We need
not Gsd gave man the breath of life in an in
slant, or in ten centuries. In man is Gods
breath, or spirit.
What we all know is that we have man,
heavens and earth. What is reasonable to be-
lieve is that Being whom we call God is
abeve and behind all; that it is He who issues
laws governing the works of His creation.
What we want to know, and need to know, is
the laws God ordained for the guidance of the
human family. In the Bible, those laws, in
the form of principles, are plainly written.
The law underlying all is, "In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou earn thy Bread"
When God created Adam, He placed him in
the Garden of Eden, and commanded him to
dress and keep the garden. After the socalled
"fall'' of the race, the command was to earn
bread through labor.
ADAM WAS NEVER IDLE.
God created no idle thing or creature. In
the garden God made there was work, but not
constructive full development. Man must
be producer under plans of his own devising.
The "fall' of man was actually rise. 1t was
absolutely necessary that the human race should
become tiller of the soil, worker in metals,
builder of cities. 1t was necessary that some
men should become teachers, inventors and
arti6cers

10 MCDLL'S SERMON

Labor makes possible the existence of large
populations and measurable happiness Labor
not only developes man physically, but morally
and mentally. Labor is normal, and, there
fore, healthful. Labor quickens thought in
that it devlses the ways and means of the sup
plies of mems necessities. Labor is the reason.
able and loving law of God.
1t would be very poor sort of a God that
designed and deliberately compelled one portion
of the human race to labor for and support
another portion or the human race in idleness
poor SOFT of God that compelled part of the
human race to produde the necessities of life
and stand in need of their own productions,
while others, who did not labor, had more than
they could use.
God commanded Adam, the first man of the
race, to labor, and enforced the command by
casting Adam out of the garden that God had
planted. From that time, fore yer, man should
plant his own gardens, plow his own burrows,
buiid his own dwellings, supply his own food,
cover his own nakedness.
God did His part, and did it we'll. 1t was
left to man to do his part.
In the light of history, an is more or less
failure, because they who labored not devoured
the substance of those who labored. Kings,
emperors, warriors, politicians, priests, dukes
and shareholders have hung upon the lack Of
labor like ticks on Texas steer, or lice on an
ill-fed colt
In no nation, and in u age, has labor re.
ceived the full reward of service to the human
race. The unworthy, to live at all, have lived
best. The most worthy, to live, have only
half lived.
Many civilizations were destroyed because of
the ciuel parasites that fixed themselves upon
the energies and labor of the producing classes.
1t is lie upon its face that God oldaiued the
cruel parasite.
God and the laborer made the earth what it
is. We are indebted to no king or emperor.
