WOMEN THREATEN
TO BE AMAZONS
Increase In Height of Four
Inches.

CHICAGO, ILL, October %
(SpeciaD THE manufacturers of
ready-made clothing for women are
responsible for the statement that the
women are growing bigger and that
we are threatened with a race of
Amazonians.
In the opinion of scientists who
have studied the matter, the average
increase of height during the past
fifty years is no less than three and
one-half inches, and may be as much
as four inches.
Weight is more difficult to judge,
owing to the great individual differ
ences, but the increase is generally
considered to be on an average of
twenty-five pounds, though some
doctors say it is more.

CONGRESSMAN LEWIS
MOST OPTIMISTIC
South Not Affected by Wall
Street Furry.

Congressman E. B. Lewis of sthe
Americas district does not attach
much importance to the disturbances
in Wall street, which he considers rich
mems troubles. The South is in no
way affected by the furry, which Con-
gresham Lewis believes to be only
temporary at worst. Farmers who
have sold their cotton have money in
bank and the South is prosperous and
happy.
Congressman Lewis is himself Pres
ident of two banks at Montezuma, and
is largely interested in cotton. In
an interview published in the Atlanta
Constitution, he says:
This is the serious and natural
ending of transportation in high
finances which has been going on
for many years. 1t is virtually, to
a large extent, a rich mans failure,
and involves only the INSCRIPTIONS
and unjust manipulators of railroad
stocks and manufacturing stocks such
as steel, copper etc., all of whom have
been playing very heavily with the fin
ancial markets in the past few years.

Athletics for Women

One of the chief causes contributing
to this is the circumstance that the
past few years have seen such large
increase in the popularity of athle-
tics among women. 1t is not many
years since it was considered quite
bad form" to ride a bicycle Golf
and basketball are favorite games with
the fair sex, while even women's foot
ball clubs have been founded The
games played at girls schools now
approach much more nearly to violent
exercise than they used, and all this
tends to strengthen and develop the
frame

Hard Times IN Kansas.

The old days of grasshoppers and
drouth are almost forgotten in the
prosperous Kansas of today; although
citizen of Codell, Earl Shamburg,

LETTER TO G. S. GARTNER,
Americas, Georgia

Dear Sir: Ten years ago, there was
one pure paint and 200 adulterated
there are now eight pure, 200 adulter-
ated, about half of the latter short
measured besides.
There is still but one best, and
the difference is ten gallons Devoe
goes as far as eleven next-best-$5 in
every ten gallons.
A new word has come up in paint;
it is strong. Strong paint goes fur
Their and wears longer; weak paint
takes more gallons and wears-out
sooner.
The proper cost of a 10-gallon job
is $50 Paint that takes II gallons
makes it $55. Paint that takes 70
gallons makes it 500 Paint that takes
10 gallons makes it $65. Paint that
takes 20 gallons makes it $500.
The $50 job wears twice as long as
the 500. These figures are not pre-
else; they are round. The 10-gallon
paint is Devoe Yours truly,
48 F. w. DEVOE & co.
Americas Construction Co. sell our
paint.

Testimony of Outftters

That this average increase is a
matter of fact all women's outftters
will testify. To take the example of
boots. Inquiries among several of
the leading bootmakers have elected
the surprising fact that the average
woman's foot has increased by about
two sizes" during the last quarter of
a century. The average size of boot
supplied was a 4, now it is a 5 or
6.
Glove manufacturers affirm the
question by declaring that the sizes
demanded by lady customers during
recent years have increased 60 per
cent

Japs VIII Exhibit

SEATTLE, WASH, October 20
(SpeciaD-Despite the animosity
against the Japanese existing on the
Pacific coast, the government of the
Mikado will be well represented by
exhibits at the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition, to be held in Seattle in
1909, Commissioners for the exposi-
ton are now in the flowery kingdom
and have extended formal invitations
to the government and to private man
ufacturers and exporters to exhibit
at the fair, with fiattering results.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-10-27
No Sympathy Wasted

"The leaders," declared Mr. Lewis,
"who have brought about this trouble
haven't much sympathy from the peo-
pie, because they have brought the
misfortune on their own heads as
well as the country.
1T is true a great many innocent
people have invested in these securi-
ties and are great sufferers. This is
another case of where the innocent
oftimes have to suffer for the misdo-
ings of others.
"The New York banks, for here the
money markets of the world are CEN
tered, have had a hard time for the
past six months in carrying these
heavy loads and within the last few
days interest on money has run as
high as 80 per cent in New York. But
| believe most Of the banks are
sound and will weather the storm"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-10-27
South Not Affected

Asked about the affect of these ca
lamities would have upon the south,
Mr.. Lewis smiled with an air of sat
isfaction, and said:
THE south is in no way affected by
this panic. Our banks are all in good
condition. They have paid their in
debtedness to the New York banks
and are thoroughly Independent of
Wall street
THE farmers are in splendid con-
dition in this territory, for they have
made good crops and have been SELL
ing their cotton on an average of u
cents, and all have money in their
pockets or on deposit in the banks.
Cotton Too Low r.
while this panic is the cause of a
decline in cotton of 1 cent a pound
within the past week, l believe cotton
entirely too low, and it will steadily
advance from now on
rive would have today one Of the
greatest panics ever known in the
United States if it were not for the
solidity of the south with it's 12-cent
cotton and west with it's dollar bushel
wheat"
In conclusion, Mr.. Lewis said: 81
am very glad the time has come and
to stay when the Southern people are
Independent and free from Wall street
financial manipulators. However, /
believe the worst is now over in the
financial troubles, and I look for
much better times over the entire
country"
