The operation of all lines of the South ern railway is Mississippi will be turned over to the Mobile and Ohio railroad today. This action follows the appoint ment of Col. E. L. Russell as vice pres ident of the Southern railway in Missis- siprl.
 It will materially decrease the mileage of the Birmingham division of the South ern. The company owns about 300 miles of mainline, sidings and branch lines In Mississippi, and all this will be operated as a part of the Mobile and Ohio sys- tenn.
 As yet it is not known what will be done with the present employees of the Southern in the neighboring state There is a division freight agency in Columbus and an assistant superintendent and no advice has been received as to how those officials will be disposed of. It may be

HUGHES ADDRESSES
AUDIENCE HERE.
Spoke at Opera House On
Monday.
ADDRESS DEVOID OF STRENGTH
Tells What He Was Going to Do When
Elected-AttemptsM imicry and Rid.
icuIe-The Speech is Disappointing
to Many. = -

Hon. Dudley M. Hughes of TWiggs
county, candidate for Congress against
the present incumbent, Bon. e. B.
Lewis, made q speech at the opera
house yesterday morning in the inter
est of his candidacy. Mr.. Hughes was
introduced by Mr.. W. T. Lane, who is
managing his campaign in Sumter.
Mr.. Lane introduced Mr.. Hughes as
''the farmer" candidate, and the bur-
den of Mr. Hughes speech throughout
was attem pied ridicule of Mr. Lewis,
and a labored effort to impress the
audience with what kind of an all
round farmer he had always been.
One to have heard Mr.. Hughes could
never have believed that he hsd known
and realized any Of the distipc ions
and trials of railroad president, or
had drawn thousands of dollars as the
paid employe of the Agricultural So
ciety and other soft snaps.
Which are obtained by such 'farm-
ers" in politics.
There were probably $50 men and
six ladies in the audience.
The speaker, the now "horny hand
ed son OF toll" as be would have the
public believe, was frequently cheered,
especially when telling of the gigantic
patronage he was going to obtain for
his constituents, if elected.
He would have his hearers believe
that he could engage the attention OF
the Government in building roads and
in having every sucker hole in the
district made a nav gable river with
an appropriation tied on as vermiform
appendix.
He would secure q vast number OF
other big things, which no other con
gresham had ever secured or even
thought of securing.
In fact, there was a strong smack of
demagoguery and bombsst about Mr..
Hughes speech, which was quite dis
appointing to his friends and mulIified
the otherwise good impression il
might haYe made.
Mr.. Hughes attempts to mimic and
to ridicuIe Mr.. Lewis brought cheers
from those whom that gentleman has
heretofore fattened out, politically.
Col. Hughes has been in and about
Americus for several weeks and has
proven an apt scholar, simply re-echo-
ing the same. TRADE against Lewis
which has proven boomerang to his
tutors in more than one campaign. And
history will be overwhelmingly repeat
ed again on August 22nd.

GRIND OF COURT IS
BEGUN ON MONDAY.
Civil Business Was Entered
Upon First.
CHARGE MADE TO GRAND JURY
Entire Week Will BE Consumed With
the Trial OF Civil CaseS-But Few
Felony Cases for Investigation BY
Grand Jury.

The May term of Sumter superior
court was entered upon Monday morn
ing, Judge z. A. Littlejohn presiding,
and for the next three weeks, at least,
the mills of justice will turn within
the temple, principally in the trial of
numerous civil cases.
For, while the civil docket is quite a
heavy one the reverse is true as to the
criminal side, although an excellent
grand jury is at work and may develop
other business.
But the grand jury sitting four weeks
ago in special session made it lighter
for this body.
Many cases were investigated at the
recent special term and since that
time only one killing has occurred in
the county, John Flowers shooting
Gilmore Hoskins to death at Cobb.
Flowers is in jail, and this case will be
investigated.
The following we'll known citizens
constitute the grand jury now serving
at this term of court:
Crawford Whestley, l., ID, Wise, W:
E. Mitchell, E. O. Parker, j. L. Page,
W. A. Webb, q. r. Johneon, G. A.
Turpin, r s. Oliver, W. W. Dozier, J
E. Causey, c. W. AnsIey, T. F. Gate.
wood, J. A. Mcdonald, D. G. N. Burk-
halter, J. G. Reeves, G.. W. Poole, Lee
Patton, J. W. Daniel, A. @. WelIons.
Mr.. Crawford Wheatley was elected
foreman of this able body.
In charging the grand jury Judge
LittIeiohn dwelt atlength upon the pis-
toll carrying habit and gambling, which
have been productive Of so much crime
in the county. His able charge also
covered the vsgrancy laws very thor
oughly.
Judge Littleiohn's charge through
out was clear and forceful, and the
close astention given it by the grand
jury evidenced the determination OF
that body TO do it's duty thoroughly.
The first day 8 session was consumed
very largely in the calling CT cases and
arrangement of the docket for the
week. Several important cases were
thus assigned for trial, and the next
four or five days will be very busy ones
on the civil side.
The attendance upon court is not as
large as usual, owing to the fact that
farmers generally are very busy at
home Just row,

INCREASE AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Board Education May Enlarge Build.
Ing.

ing.
The rapid increase IN attendance in
the Americas public schools may
neoessitate still another addition to
the high school building at an early
date. The subject of enlargement is
now being discussed by the board of
education which, at the same time,
may abandon the Rees Park school
and consolidate all grades at the high
school building. AS the Rees Park
school accommodates large number
OF small children of that nelghborhood
and IN East Americus, it would seem
the part of wisdom to maintain it.
This section is far removed from the
high schools, and the Rees Part build
ing is very conveniently located for
many little ones who could not 60 the
greater distance to attend school.

THREE BADGERS ARE KNOCKED
And Home Runs Made for Coin In
Court.

Mayor Protein Bolton umpired a
lively game in police court Yesterday
morning,in which delinquent street tax
payers were knocked for three baggers
while another bunch made home runs
for their money-to pay fines. Chief
Feagin had rounded. up black nine
for defaulted street tex, and each
moke was touched for So. despite the
plea of some of them-big strapping
bucks-that they were only seventeen
years old and, consequently, not sub
iecs to tax. Whenever the bible record
of:their pedigrees could not be pro-
duced they were soaked for the coin.
Jane Black, an old offender, was jailed
until SIS fine was paid, while Ann
BIount and her friend, Sterling Burke,
were locked up for a joint Saturday
night drunk and fined So each.

Science is DOING wonders these days in
medicine as well as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff. for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
cessful cure until Nowbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. 1t is a scientific prep
aratlon that kills the germ that makes
dandru1 or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
1t saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair and finally badness. With.
out dandruff hair must grow tt1x1riantly.
