FOR SELLING BOOZE ON SUNDAY

Ten straight sweatful, hotful months
digging dirt was the direful dose dealt
Deacon Sambo Nathan yesterday when
he was tried and convicted before
Judge Crisp upon the charge of operat-
ing a large and fierce blind tiger on
Sunday.
The straight shot in the chainganef
without the privilege of paying little
fine, which is really license tax on
such devilment, wellnigh paralyzed
the deacon.
Beads of perspiration as large as
buckshot stood out upon his topknot
like headlights.
From the courthouse window Sambo
could see fifty convicts in the county
corral near by, and he probably pictur
ed himself as No. 81, spade in hand,
anG the whipping boss not ten feet
away. The picture was horrible for
the deacon.
He doubtless contrasted it with his
DOL grotto, where his pretty tiger had
numbered so long, and theN perlice
couldn't prove it.
But they proved it this time, by a
large majority, and it was a hard jolt
for Sambo. He had been harpooned
fo1 selling liquor before, the Judge was
told, but he went scot free that time.
Now fate was most cruel to the sly
deacon.
And then he sold it on Sunday morn
ing, it was told, when Bethesda's bell
was ringing and the congregation
waited and watched for Deacon Nathan
to pass the hat.
The crime was shock to the Bethes-
darines, as was the sentence to the
deacon yesterday.
After Sambo recovered his breath,
which was strong enough to have es-
capped, he thought again of that hot
stretch of county road on which he
was billed to dig. And he doubtless
thought of Supt. Paschal, and just a
few other gang matters.
He thought of the melon season just
opening in town. Was 'pO niger
ever in such pickle?
And then Sambo balked. An appeal
for a new trial might save him, at least
until the weather got cooler. The
deacon had nothing to loose in such
predicament, and motion tor a new
trial was put in. But he will hardly
land one
The deacon is in a hole and only
spades and picks, county picks, will
pick him out of it.

. A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use Of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
mestic use, and SO has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition OF his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret,
nostrums of doubtful merits, and Wade
them Remedies Of hnOlO1I Composition.
BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny,
Not only docs the wrapper OF every bottle

famous medicine for weak stomach. torpid

the ingredients composing it, but small

standard medical works, of all the different

Gus extracts from the writings of leading

strongest possible terms each and every ingre-
dent contained in DR.. Pierce's medicines.
One Of these little books will be mailed f1e

by letter, to Dr. X. V. Pierce, Buffalo. y. Y.
and requesting the same. From this little
book 1t will be learned that DR.. Pierce's med
icines contain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious agents
and that they are made from native medlci-
nal roots of great value; also that some OF
the most valuable ingredients contained IN

ditions inimical to the prosperity of the
town had resulted in Generalization OF
the city's business affairs. Mayor
Hawkins, by his intelligent and careful
management of the responsibilities en-
trusted to him, has placed the city in a
position of which its citizens can be
proud.
That they have fully appreciated his
work has been shown IN his reelection
twice to the office he now fills.
Mayor Hawkins has never been an
officer seeker or politician in the sense
those words are generally used. There
is no doubt that he could have enjoyed
ample evidence of the confidence his
fellow citizens have i'll his ability and
integrity by elevation to other public
Offices if he had sought them.
The positions he has held have been
those in which he could best serve the
people of Americus at home. AS an
alderman, member ofthe Board of Edu-
cation, City Attorney and Mayor he
has always been marked by the same
quiet, persistent, painstaking devotion
to duty that has worked out very bene-
fetal results to the people of the city as
whole.
Mayor Hawkins was born in Lee
County, on March 81, 1850. His father,
Hon. Willis Aston Hawkins, was
colonel of the Twelfth Georgia Regi-
ment during the Civil war. He was
one of the most prominent attorneys of
Southwestern Georgia for many years,
and IN 1880 was elevated to the Supreme
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-07-07

on the bench, until the fathers death
on November 2S, 1886
Since then he has followed his pro-
fession by himself, building up one OF
the finest practices in this section of
Georgia.
For fifteen years he labored Jealous
Iy as a member of the Board of Edu-
cation to advance the school interests
of Amerlcus. For a number of years
he gave the city faithful and valuable
service as its attorney. AS an Alder
man he studied the needs of the city,
acquainting himself with the workings
of it's DEP artmentsE and its finances, so
that when elected to the mayoralty in
Decem Der, 1902, ne entered on his dis
charge of the important duties en-
trusted to him thoroughly prepared to
handle them to the satisfaction of his
fello Y citizens.
In 1904 he was reelected without
opposition, and in 1906 was again as
sured of the confidence of the people by
his election for a third term.
Mayor Hawkins has beautiful home
on Church street. With large circle
of congen1al friends, devoted to his
family, finding in his profession con-
genial and absorbingly interesting
life work, enjoying the esteem of the
entire community, his career is one
that is satisfactory to contemplate and
apparently holds much more in store
that will be of value to the public in
whose service he has already given so
much that is of enduring worth.
