HuNcoED BY A WEEPING COON
Imaginary Dead Brother Supplied The
Beer

A former mayor of the city aud an
ex-state senator, who hibernate near
the courthouse, were neatly taken in
yesterday by negro who, with faI err
ing voice and streaming eyes begged
the former statesmen for money where
with to bury his beloved brother.
His pathetic story brought the coin,
for no white man ever turns from O
good darkey in distress.
La the case of the ex-mayor, he gave
up his last quarter, reserved for cigars,
and went without smoke all day that
he might thus help the poor, weeping
negro bury his dead brother.
While the two gentlemen sat in the
rear OF warehouse Office little later
they heard merry laughter outside
Imagine their surprise, upon looking
out the rear door, to see the black re-
cipient of their charity in the midst OF
gang of negro wenches, setting up
the beer.
All the money he had begged dutiog
the day was thus expended, and mer-
~ beetfest was in progress in the
wagon yard, at his expense.
The negro, Bill Buchanan, also known
as Bill Smith, was arrested and jailed
later, charged with getting money upon
false pretenses.
Soon thereafter the wife of the weep
or happened along ard was told O.
the affair. She declared that her hus
band had no brother, living or dead
He had resorted to this sympathetic
ruse to get money to buy beer, as il
seemed to be an old game of his.
In future, citizens can be on tbeil
guard how they bury "dead" negroes
and give money to tramps.

SHIPPING THE SURPLUS BALES
Americus is Still Receiving consid-

Shipments of cotton, amounting daily
now to hundreds of bales, continue to
pour into Amerlcus from neighboring
small towns and the vicinity of the
railroad yards and compress reminds
one of the busy September days in the
height of the cotton season The farm
ers are selling a great deal of cotton
for this season of the year. They have
held on to their crop to the last, hoping
that there would be an increase in price,
but now they seem to be letting it go.
The small towns are sending in reports
OF extensive recipes and sales for this
time of year. Preparations are now
under way for raising almost as large
a crop as was put in the ground last
season. If the weather is good and
conditions favorable another large crop
may be expected. This may not be the
information that the planters like to
hear, but it is correct view of the sit.
uation so far as one can learn.

THE cITY's SCHOOLS
State Agent of the University Comes
to Americus.


Prof. Joseph Spencer Stewart, state
agent of the University of Georgia, was
prominent visitor to the city yester
day. Prof Stewards duty is to inspect
the various schools of the state. He
spent the morning with Prof. A. G..
Miller, of the Furlow High School, ex-
aiming infinitely the workings of each
and every grade, and was very compli-
mentary in his report to the Times-Re-
corder yesterday.
He was especially complimentary in
speaking at length of the young
students of the eleventh grade. In
fact, he stated that the entire school
was under splendid discipline and in
fine condition.
Prof. Stewart thinks there is great
need of ano her teacher in the high
grade department.
This has been Yexed question in
Americas, however, and there will hard
~ be any possibility of his recommen-
dation being acted upon faYorably by
the board of education.
Prof. Stewart is enthusiastic over the
prospect of state agricultural school.
He thinks our farmer hoys have need
of agricultural education to make them
successful farmers, which, he says, is
just as essential in this profession as
the collegiate education is for the law
yer and doctor.
Prof. Stewart is q most agreeable and
accomplished gentleman and is one of
the best educators IN Georgia. He is
always welcome visitor in Amerlcus,
where he comes quite often.

TOOK SHOES FROM THE CASES
Americas Merchant Robbed of Goods
in Transit.

The robbery of freight shipments in
transit to Americas is not wholly I'M
known here by any means, as nnmer-
GUS merchants are willing to testify,
and it seems impossible to detect the
thieves, or convict them all when de-
tected. Yesterday weIlknown mer-
chant here, in opening up q shipment
of three cases of fine shoes, found that
every case had been broken open in
transit, and eleven pairs of shoes stolen.
The cases were opened here in the pres
ence of numerous people in the store
who bear testimony TO the loss. The
paper boxes containg the shoes, origi-
nally, were intact, but eleven out of
the three dozen were complies" The
merchant declared that he had FREE
quently been thus robbed before, but
never on SO percent basis, as IN this
instance.

runner of Future Badness.
That such is the case has been con-

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 lifeless,
and, in time falls out. This can be pre-
vented

germ, and restores the hair to its natural
softness and abundancy.
