Americas Men Laying Wasers on Crop
Price,

A bet of 5000 was made by Americus
men yesterday as to the price of cotton
next fall, and one of these will certainly
wear a 5000 roll of the long green fur
nished by the other. One of them bet
the other this amount that the next
crop would sellfo eight cents, or above,
no doubt baslng his opinion on de-
creased acreage and consequent higher
prices. Ii the acreage should be re-
duced the price of cotton will be away
above eight cents, but unless this is
done the man with six cents ideas will

On every bottle of Liquozone we
offer $1,000 for disease germ that it
cannot kill. We do this to assure you
that Liquozone does kill germs.
And it is the only way known to
kill gesms in the body without killing
the tissues, too. Any drug that kills
germs Is a poison, and 1t cannot be
taken internally. Medicine is almost
helpless in any germ disease. 1t is
this fact that gives Liquozone its
worth to humanity; worth so great
that, after testing the product for two
years, through physicians and hos
pitfalls, we paid 100000 for the Amer
lean rights. And we have spent over
one million dollars, in one year, to
buy the first bottle and give it free to
each sick one who would try it.

But, unfortunately, we find here in
Madison county not only history Of
lynching--a habit it may be called-but
there existed the same disregard for the
sacredness of human life which is the
common characteristic of most lynching
communities, south or north. 1t is next
to impossible to convict a white man
for killing. Murderers employ good law
yers, they appeal their cases, they bring
political friendships to bear and the re-
lationships between the old families are
so far extended that they reach even into
the jury room. AS a consequence, nearly
every white murderer goes free. Only a
short time before the present lynching
Fred Stevens, a white man, who shot a
white man in quarrel over bucket of
water, was let out with a fine of $50, costs
and thirty days in jail This for a kill

to have the costs cut down!

Acts Like Oxygen

Liquozone is not made by com
pounding drugs, nor is there any al
cohol in it. It's virtues are derived
solely from gas-largely oxygen gas
by a process requiring immense ap-
paratus and IA days time. This pro-
cess has, for more than 20 years, been
the constant subject of scientific and
en- 1mical research.
The result is a liquid that does
what oxygen does. It is nerve food
and blood food-the most helpful
thing in the world to YOU. Its effects
are exhilarating, vitalizing purifying.
Yet it is an absolutely certain germi-
eide. The reason Is that germs are
vegetables and Liquozone-like an ex-
cess of oxygen-is deadly to vegetal
matter.

Selma, January 2.-(Special )-There
was a slick robbery committed last night
by slick negro who stole a number of
, slick articles. A slick policeman captured
him later and the chances are bright
that q slick shackle will encrcle his
leg. Russell Sbin is the name of the
thief now confined in the city calaboose
awaiting trial on Monday He confessed
t" his crime and endeavored to pilot the
officer to whers he had left the stolen
goods but the bucket containing the ar
tices was not there.
The goods stolen were oysters, the
negro having taken a bucket of the BIZ
valves from in front of the Southern Ex-
press office. Another bucket was stolen
by the same negro several days ago
and escaping detection he tried the same
game last night. His plan was to Dor
rev hack, telling the driver that he
had a special fare" He drove up to the
express office last night, the oysters be-
ing left outside in the cool. and with
a boldness his looks belle, quickly picked
up bucket and drove off. The mack
was seen to drive off shortly before the
oysters were missed ind a clue was soon
gotten by the police department. lesGing

ARRESTED IN BIRMINGHAM

Selma, January 21.-(SpeciaL)-The au-
thorities are searching far and near to-
night for two white men, giving their
names as Fountaine and Warren, the for
Eier having been boolikoeper with the
Nevers Lumber COMPANY at Gates in
Marengo county. Fountaine came to Sell
ma few days ago with letter of in
PRODUCTION signed by the Nevers company
and ordered quite an amount OF goods
from II. Lillianthal g. Co.
He also purchased a suit of clothes for
and purchased about $75 worth Of clothes
including two suits and two fine suit
cases. After he had left Warren came in
and asked for Fountaine. Just then a
clerk saw him coming out of Eliasberg 81
Bros, just across the strees. with an
ether bran new suit cise. Fountatne had
presented c check of the company H.ada
payable to him for 500 to Lillianthal, say
ing that he would pay SIS on his pur-
Chases and wanted the rest n cash. This
was given him.
The actions of the men aroused the
srspicions o. the firm and they sent for
the goods, overtaking a hack with the
three suit cases at the intersection of
North and Franklin streets, just as the
two men hailed the driver. They had
previously told a clerk that they were
sending the bundles to the Louisville and
Nashville depot, which was in another
direction.
At Eliasburg's it was found that the
man Fountaine has given his name as
Hall and presented a check made payable
to Hall. He pursued the same plan at
Eliasburgs. but got off with both the
change and the goods.
There is strong suspicion that the let
tiers of recommendation were written by
Fountaine himself, and the fear Is that
the two checks are worthless. kilograms
have been sent to narby towns in the
hopes of arresting the men.
