Memorial Society Has Important
Session, With Large Number of
Members Present.

The meeting yesterday of the Ladies
Memorial Association of Americas was
very important one, inasmueh as
these devoted women have practically
agreed to rellnquish to the State the
care of the three hundred graves oi
Confederate soldiers here, under the
terms proposed.
The meeting was presided over by
Miss Maria Harold, its very efficient
president, and the attendance was
highly satisfactory.
The step proposed is, it is believed,
in the right direction.
Since the South first instituted the
beautiful custom of memorial day OBJ.
servance and the care of our soldier
dead the good ladies of Americus have
tenderly paid tribute and this "God's
Acre" in OakgroYe Cemetery is one of
the most beautiful to be found in
Georgia.
Resides erecting q stately monument
costing $4,000, the ladies have placed
marble headstones at each of the 800
graves and otherwise beautified the
property.
Theirs has indeed been q labor of
love, patriotism and devotion which
will never die.
But the State desires to relieve the
patriotic women of Georgia of this
labor and expense, and the idea is
favorably received everywhere. The
State can do it better, perhaps, and
perpetually, though the Society here
will still feel the same interest as now
and exercise supervision over the lot.
When 1t is found out whether the
deed to the soldiers lot lies in the Socie-
ty or is vested in the city, the transfer
will be made.
The State proposes to pay the Society
$3.50 as an appropriation for headstones,
but as headstones are in place already
this money will be utilized instead in
placing a marble or granite coping
around the lot. This will greatly en-
hance the beauty of the Confederate
lot here.
At the meeting yesterday the Society
appointed o committee to select an
orator for Memorial Day, April 26th,
and perfect other details for that sacred
occasion.

REGISTERING FOR
The ELECTIONS.
Many Citizens Thus Getting
Ready.
ALL OFFICES WILL BE FILLED
From Coroner to Governor, and Voters
VIII Get Busy-Early Primaries in
Many Counties-Must Register Ere
You Can Vote.

A season of politics means strenu'
GUS life for the voter, and this is going
to be the busiest s'season" here in sew
eral years. In Americus and Sumter,
as elsewhere, the voter will get busy,
and there will be plenty doing IN fill
ing the various city and county offices,
statehouse offices and many others.
For the entire line, from President
to coroner, leads to the ballot box.
Every one of the county offices, those
of sheriff, clerk of court, judge of or.
dinary, tax collector, tax receiver, treas
urer, coroner and baillff will have to be
filled again this year.
But the voter will have other duties
than that of tillipg.the several Offices
in Sumter county.
Members of the legislature are cleo
ted this year, and Sumter also selects
the senator for this, the Thirteenth dis
trict. And then there's the election for
president, for governor, for congress
man from the Third district and the
election of statehouse officers. In fact,
there's not an Office on the line over
looked.
Weary with well doing, the voter
will take breathing spell in the good
old summer time and then "be up and
at 'em again.
For, after the spring primaries come
the regular fall elections.
And then just little later the city
will rally again and elect mayor and
aldermen, city clerk, police commits
sioner, and so on down the long line of
Office holders.
Than Sumter, no county in Georgia
has a more courteous and capable
corps OF officials, and if any of them are
to have opposition the fact has not yet
Many of them are just
serving their first terms, while all are
vigllant and popular.
In such political year, every voter
should be registered.
The mere fact that one has paid The
l 9O3 taxes does not qualify him to vote
in the primaries. You must register
your own name in a book provided for
that purpose, and while hundreds in
Americus and Sumter have thus regis
tered, others have been negligent al d
their names are not on the list
Verify, the voter is upon the watch
tower, and woe be unto the candidate
who kisseth the kids that he fain may
eat of the feshpots and put shekels of
silver in his purse.

Congratulations.

Mr.. John Fl. Collum, editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain'o Cough
Remedy as follows: ''Sixteen years ago
when our first child was baby he was
subject to croupy spells and we would
be very uneasy ab ut him. We began
using Ohamberlain's Cough Remedy,
in 1887, and fiuding it such a reliable
remedy for colds and Group, we have
never been without it in the house since
that time. We have five children and
have given 1t to all of them with good
results. One good feature of this RENE
dy is that it is not disagreeable to take
and our babies really like it. Another
is that it is not dangerous, and there is
no risk from giving an overdose, ]
congratulate you upon the success of
your remedy" For sale by all drug

Fatal PrecautfOn,

A farmer in Cumberland county was
driving across a railroad track when a
train killed both his horses and
knocked him about ten rods off his
course In the resulting suit for dam
ages the plaintiff was on the witness
stand, making out a good case, when
the defendants lawyer asked him:
did you take any precaution before
driving upon the trackW
The witness seemed reluctant to an
swer, but, being pressed to do so, final
ly stammered out:
'Waal, squire, took a little-just a
couple Of swallers, that's all"
This started new line of defense,
and it turned out that the couple of
swallows were the last in a pint flask
that had consoled the honest old farm
er along the road. This put new face
on the situaion.-Lewiston Journal.

Seventy dollars per bale for cotton;

cotton sounds like prosperity indeed.

The prevalence of some contagious
disease, probably smallpox, over the
state creates fear among timorous ones
in Americus as elsewhere, but there is
no need for alarm here, Probably 90
per cent of the white citizens and q
large percentage OF colored have been
Yaccinated in recent years, hundreds
OF them very recently, and an admirably y
arranged hospital stands ready for the
reception of patients. Within the
month three cases of the disease, in
mildest form, have appeared in
Americus; two patients being white
and one colored. ALI were sent to
the hospital and are now rapidly
getting we'll. When it is remembered
that Albany has had hundreds of cases,
and now has hundreds of others, all of
very mild form and not a death result
ing, there is little to be feared here
from this disease.

Now Lynn it is a seaport,
