AMERICUS MAN GIVES EXPERIENCE

AMERICUS MAN GIVES EXPERIENCE

Americus people of modest means
will have to be content with reading
about the Jimtown Exposition, as only
the rich the coal dealers, the ice man,
the plumber and union bricklayers can
stand the high food tariff demanded OF
them.
Toothpicks at the leading hotels are
not sold at a dollar each, but it is
almost that bad.
An Americus cititizen who spent last
week at the Exposition-or rather a
short portion of one week-tells of his
experience there.
The most reasonable hotel rates his
party could find, he says, was eight
dollars per day. If that is not enough
to stagger one who figures upon $50
round trip, or possibly $75, there are
other charges just as altitudinous.
The cheapest cigar he could find was
fifty cents, the kind that sell in Ameri-
Gus six for quarter.
And the barber, too, demands the
pound of flesh when he shaves you
and generally gets about that much on
his razor. A shave costs % cents, a
shampoo so cents, and if perchance the
razor touches your neck you pay for a
hair cut.
1t costs $l5O to go to the barber
shop, including a shoe shine.
In the cafes and other teed stalls the
tariff is something fierce. A ham
sandwich is about the size of month S
salary, while a piece of chicken is the
price of Lee street lot.
On every side it is graft, graft graft of
the fercest stripe. In the fodder joints
waiter will not serve you until he is
tipped.
And there's precious little to see for
this outlay of wealth. Very few ex-
hibits are in place, and it will be weeks
yet ere the show is complete and one
can get value received for his money.
The warships are there, and really that
is pretty nearly all.
Another thing almost forgotten-the
prices; they are there.

In his campaign for the governor
| ship of Georgia MIR. Smith set out very
clearly his position and views, not
only as to state, but also to national
| affairs. He fayors a strict regulation
of corporations and a rigid enforce
ment of the laws as they are found on
the statute book. While he is a re-
former, he does not support the idea of
government ownership of railroads
and does not follow Mr.. Bryan in
some of the latter's more radical ideas,
his opinion being the more in accord
ance with old line democrats.
While he has not been extreme in
his notions, Mr.. Smith has opposed
consistently the alleged encroach-
ments of the railroads and other CO.
porations, and has demanded that they
sh ould be compelled to cease their dis
c c:iminatiens and exactions.

Women Who Wear Well.

II is astonishing how great a change 0
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of it's freshness and the form of it's
fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comelness. Nearly
million women have found health and
happiness in the use of Or. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t makes weak wom-

ents on label-contains no alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs, made
wholly of those native, American, medic
inal roots most highly recommended by
leading medical authorities of all the sew
eral schools of practice for the cure of
woman's peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers, or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children, also for the expectant mothers,
to prepare the system for the coming Of
baby and making its advent easy and
almost painless, there is no medicine quite
80 good as "Favorite Prescription. It
gan do no harm in any condition of the
system. 1t is most potent invigorating
