SAVANNAH TO FIGHT MOVE
10 Bring the Fifth Division Offices of SeabOard tC
AmeriCuS From That CITY.

The proposition looking to the re-
moval of headquarters of the Fifth
division of the Seaboard Railway from
Savannah to Americus, as announced
by the Times Recorder yesterday, Will
meet with vigorous protest at that end
of the line, and every effort will be
made to hold the headquarters.
The Savannah Press of yesterday
has the following article regarding the
pro posed removal to Americus.
"The office of superintendent of the
Filth division of the Seaboard Air Line,
which have been here for the past
eight or ten years, is to be moved to
Americus by order of the management
of the road.
1.-The fact that the order had been
issued was learned today by one of the
employees giving notice to his board
ing place that he would be in Americus
after August first. At the office of the
Mr.. H. B. Grimshaw,
this statement was later confirmed.
Caused Surprise.
''The fact the change was to be made
soon became known in business and
railroad circles and surprise was ex-
pressed that the office should be re-
moved from Savannah, when it is
that this is the most i'm

STILL HOPE TO TANGLE
THE BILL IN HOUSE
Ants Have Not Given Up
Fight
HALL LEADS THE OPPOSITION
Scheme to Talk the Bill to Death is
Hope of the AntiS-.May Amend
Bill to Make it Operative
January |, 1909.
lALL LEADS THE OPPOSITION

Atlanta, July 16.-With Joe Hill
Hall, local optionist, to lead their forces
in house fight on the state prohibition
bill the antis hope by dilatory tactis
and filibustering to either talk the
measure to death, or else gain conces-
sions from the enemy in he way of ex-
tended time for the bill to go into eff
feet.
The opponents of prohibition took
comfort in the fact that the general tax
act for19OS and 1909, reported by the
committee on ways and means, include
a tax on liquor, retail dealers being
raised from $500 to $500, and that on
wholesalers from 5000 to $500.
AS Mr.. Wise is an rdentprohibition-
ist, it was argued by the ants that
such provision in the general tax act
showed tina. the prohibitionists are not
sure of the passage of the Hardman DILL
as it came from the senate.
There is talk of an amendment to
make the bill go into effect January l,
1909, instead of January l, 1908, as
provided in the Hardman bill. fsuch
an amendment is added to the bill it
would be necessary to provide for the
state tax on liquor dealers next year.

TO VOTE ON DISFRANCHISEMENT
The Senate committee today adopted
unanimously the much talked of negro
disfranchisement bill, and the measure
will come up in the Senate for action

The House today considered the anti

ton thereupon. A dozen new bills
were introduced in the House to seven
in the Senate, the latter body passing
a number of unimportant ones.
GOVERNOR SENDS MESSAGE,
The Governor today sent special
message to the Senate urging the GEN.

posed increase in the number of su-
perior court judges.

> Atlanta, Ga, July 16.-Thursday
may witness the passage in the House
of the Hardman state prohibition bill.
The House temperance committee to-
day recommended the reading of the
bill for the third time in the House on
Thursday next.
This action was taken by a decisive
vote of three to one,
Seaborn Wright said tonight that the
House will pass the bill without very
much of fight, and this idea appeared
to prevail generally among both prohis
and ants today.
Joe Hill Hall may lead the opposi-
ton, although he is non-committal.
The action of the House temperance
committee today in recommending the
Hardman bill by such a decisive vote
has cheered up the waning hopes of
the prohi forccs,- while the antis, who
hoped something would turn up, are
downcast.
They foresee the handwriting on the

form a caravan and march to the oasis,
which is at Tybee by the sea, in the

The doctors of the district are oom-

O'Clock, while the afternoon meeting,
which concludes all business, is at 2
O'Clock.
The purpose of the convention is to
effect an organization of the physicians
of the Third Congressional district.
This proposition was suggested at the
annual meeting of the State Medical
Society in May, and met with favor at
the hands of the doctors of the district.
1t will be an entirely new organiza-
ton, conflicting with no existing body
and harmonizlng with all others.
Americus physicians expect between
fifty and seventy-fve visiting brethren
of the hand satchel and pill box, and
will entertain them handsomely at a
banquet at The Windsor tonight,

LOOKS LIKE A SPLIT IN RANKS
PrOhi Leaders Not Together On
Bill.

Atlanta, July l6.-After arguing for
an hour last night the prohibition eau
Gus adjourned to meet again Wednesday
night, having accomplished very little
by their meeting.
Efforts were@made to so amend the
bill to provide for the sale of sacra-
mental wine, and objection was made TO
the clause giving physicians the right
to prescribe for patients.
Mr.. Persons of Muproe announced
he intended to fight in the House the
last named clause, as it would prove
temptation to some doctors who own
ed an interest in drug store.

TROOPS AT TYBEE ARE
HAVING A GREAT TIME
.AmeriCuS Men Enjoy The
Stay There.
DAILY ROUTINE OF MILITARY LIFE
From Early Dawn Until Dark There
is Something DOhg---TrOOpS
viii Remain There Until
Next Week.

The Americus Light Infantrymen
are holding their own with the seasoned
regulars in the encampment at Fort
Screven. There is plenty oftime for rest
and relaxation after the hard work OF
the morning and afternoon, and all the
soldier boys of the Fourth are having a
good time.
Reveille is sounded at 4:45 o'clock.
By 6 O'Clock the men have had roll
call, eaten breakfast and cleaned up
the camp, at which latter hour in
struction at the guns is begun.
At S:25 the guard is mounted. This
is a pretty sight. Usually the various
commands vie with one another in
mounting the guard. Each company
sends it's best drilled men, spot
lessly arrayed for the occasion, and the
exhibition is a jam-up one in every
respect.
The hardest work is done between 5
and s o'clock in the morning and 5 and
in the evenings, so that while the
men get fully six hours work and
some lighter labors during each day,
the work is done for the most part in
the cool.
Barring the mosquitoes which, by
the way, are not easily barred the men
declare the encampment is an ideal one,
and many have expressed the hope
that it will be an annual affair.
The strictest military discipline is
observed. A few who remain in Sc
vannah for few hours after their
passes expire are rueing it. If man
does not return at the appointed time
a detail Is sent for him. he is arrested
and is summarily dealt with.
In some of the companies these
prisoners are made to eat at different
tables from the other men. They are
not allowed to wear anything but the
overall uniforms, are denied any
privileges and are given the hardest
work in the camp.
They have TO get up at 3 a. m. and
cut wood for breakfast. They are
given the longest hours on guard and
are not allowed TO participate in the
baseball and other games INDUCED in
during leisure hours.
There is still lots of work before the
men. They have been warned that at
any ho1r of the night they may hear
the call to arms, and when it lis sound
sd they must proceed posthaste, just as
they are, to their places at the guns or
signal stations.
Some of the men haYe been sleeping
with one eye open in anticipation of
-he call, while others sleep with their
boots ON.

AMERICUS LONG ON CANTALOUPES
Market is Flooded With the Fine Fruit
Now.

Not in years has the cantaloupe crop
about Amerieus been SO abundant, or
the fruit of such excellent quality.
Every store is stocked up with the de-
licious, aromatic melons, and prices
are at the bottom notch. Wagons from
the country sell them from door to

the state but adds to the stock here.
Yesterday nearly a carload of 'lopts
were shipped to Birmingham from
Americus. But the season is sholt t
one, and those who love the delicious
fruit had best employ present oppor-

From the expressions heard today
there il. no doubt but the commercial

action regarding the proposed removal

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

riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robhing the check
