AND now comes q statement from
an English newspaper, that the
paupers in the almshOuses there,
live longer, on the average, than the
poor people on the outside. The
paupers no not have to worry about
getting living, while the unfortu.
nate men and women in the outer
world must compete with others of
their kind for jobs, in order to live.
If they cannot get work their predic-
ament is one not to be envied.

criptive of Sumter county, Americus,
Leslie, Plains, Andersonville and De-

interesting advertisements this county

haustiye descriptions of our agricul-
ture, fruit growing, manufactures,
wholesale and retail business.
1t will also touch upon the social
aspect of the county, its churches.

and, in fact, everything that would
interest one whoiis in quest of location
for the purpose of establishing busi-
ness, industry or to engage in stock
raising or farming.
The compiler of the information,
who has been in the city for the past
ten days getting the data in shape for
the publication, stated to representa-
tive of the Times Recorder that he had
never visited a city of the size OF
Americus that had so many elegant,
private equipages for both, business
and pleasure as Americus has and sug-
gested that he would like to haye as
large groupe view of them as he
could obtain.
If those ofour numerous citizens who
own private conveyences will gather
at the Methodist church, at the corner
of Lee and Church streets, next Mon
day afternoon at half pastIfour O'Clock
photographer will be there to get
them in the proper groupe and make a
picture of them.
AS this book will have large circu-
lation throughout the North, our citi-
zens now have an unusual chance to
show the residents up that way the
manner in which they get about and
the sort of rigs they use in doing so.
Every one who is the owner of good
appearing horse and buggy should be

Ink Saves s4oo. 900 Yearly.

Secretary Wilson estimated that the
dfscoy of an ink which may be used
in stamping e,,rcasses that have passed
government meat inspection, and
which will not stain, spread, Or pene-
trate the meat, will in itself save the
government between $4,000 or $780,
600 next year and a proportionately
large sum annually as the amount of
government.inspected meat increases.
The ink discovery was made by
Marion Dorsett, acting chief of the
blochemic division of the department
laboratory. All he received from the
government was an advance in salary
amounting to about 81, 900 year.
DIR. Alleton S. Cushman, assistant
director of the Office of public roads,
discovered the principles of the ex-
tradition of potash from finely ground
feldspathic rocks, This discovery
means that the United States will no
longer be dependent upon Germany
for the supply of potash used in the
manufacture of fertilizers.

Southwest Georgia, where he met
many of the leading farmers of that
section of Georgia. Mr.. Cults went
out on the farms and saw for himself
the condition of the crops. He de-
clares them to be the best he ever saw
in his twenty-five years experience in
closely observing the crop conditions
as they have existed from year to
year.
'If such thing is possible, the cot
ton crop in the section l visited is one
hundred per cent" said Mr.. Cults.

gagged in the business l have never

ARE PRAISED BY SECRETARY

Washington, July 5.-Milllons OF
doIlars-in fact, sum so vast il
cannot now be estimated-have been
saved to the American people by
discoveries made by government scien-
lists during the fiscal year which
closed June 30' declared Secretary
Wilson, in speaking of the record OF
the Department of Agriculture for the
year.
thine alone must develop the i'm
portance to the world of the expert
ments being conducted every day by
these men, whose only reward is in
the passing fame attained in reporting
valuable finds.
There would be money in many OF
these discoveries, if the scientists were
to patent them in their own names,
but in every case the people as whole
are the benefciaries, for the patents
are dedicated to the government, to be
used by the United States or any OF
its officers or employees in the prose-
cution of work for the United States,
without the payment of royalty"
Recognition Far Too Meager.
Secretary Wilson feels that the re-
cognition by the government of these
discoveries is far too meager, but he
does not hesitate to give to the scientist
this little help wherever he teels that
it is merited. Whenever q valuable
discovery, warrantina United States
patent, is made by an employe of the
Department OF Agriculture, the Secre-
tary advances the salary of the en-
ploye as much as it is possible to do
under the law.
The patent is taken out in this
country in the name of the scientist
making the discovery and then 1t is
dedicated to the United States. If the
discovery is applicable to use in a
foreign country, the scientist is author
lied 10 receive the benefit but usually
the patent is of a character designed to
meet conditions of the United States
and of little value elsewhere.
Among the patents which have at
tracted national attention are those in
relation to the labelling of fresh meats
that have passed government inspec-
ton, the use of feldspathic rocks as
fertilizers, and the prevention of cor
rosion of fence wire and rusting of iron
and steel generally.

That our Americs 1ior forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to conti,le investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

Dr. Pierce believes that our American for

for the cure OF most obstinate and fatal dis
eases, if we would properly investigate them;
and, in confirmation Of this conviction, he
points with pride to the almost marvellous
cures effected by his cGolden Medical Dis
covery,n which has proven itself to be the
most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigor-
ator. heart tonic and regulator. and blood
cleanser known to medical science. Dyspep-
STA. or indigestion. torpid liver, functional
