The Americus station is in the Allen

will be maintained for several months
during which time men will be enlisted
for all branches of the serv1ce-artlI-
Iery, infantry, cavalry, hospital corps

ELECTION OF TEACHERS DEFERRED
Faculty of College to Be Chosen on
18th Inst,

The. selection of teachers for the
Third District Agricultural College has
been deferred until next Tuesday, 18th
inst. when the committee from the
Board of Trustees will assemble IN
Americas for this purpose. The selec-
ton of the faculty was to have been
made at meeting of the committee
here this mornlug, but for good reasons
the date has been deferred until 18th
i1st. 1t is understood that there are a
number of applicants for teachers
places in the agricultural college, and
the committee will have excellent tim
ber pedaeogic from which to select the
faculty.

BIG LINES TO MAKE A FIGHT
Will EniOn the Commission From Enforcement of Re-
duCed Rates.

1t is already practically assured that
the railroads of the state with possibly
one or two exceptions outside of those
whose rates have been reduced below
3 cents per mile will go into the courts
in opposition to the Railroad Commis-
sion's order reducing passenger fares.
The three-cent roads will not fight.
Practically all of them are now charg-
ing three cents per mile.
The roads whose rate were cut below
three cents are expected to enjoin the
commission and carry the question
through the gamut of the courts, so
that it will probably be year before
the people of the state will enjoy the
reductions, provided the courts then
uphold them.
The policy of the railroads, the ma
iority of them at least, is to fight at
every step.

MEETING OF LEAGUE Is
ONE OF INTEREST
Address of Mr.. Eden on
Sunday
ATTRACTED A LARGE AUDIENCE
Discourse Was Deeply interesting
Throughout and Many SuggeS-
lions Advanced for Enlarge
ment of the Work.
ATTRACTED A LARGE AUDIENCE

One of the most interesting occasions
of a religious nature held in Americus
in long while was the first ami
versary meeting on Sunday afternoon
of the Christian Business Mems Cos
pei League at the opera house, e,and very
largely attended.
This is one of the strong and popular
organizations in Americus, and It's
sphere of usefulness is being very
rapidly extended.
And upon this first anniversary
occasion there was record attendance,
of members and the public.
The feature of the occasion was the
address of Rev. John F. Eden, pastor
of the Baptist church of Cuthbert and
who, IN the morning. had delivered
the commencement sermon at First
Methodist church to the graduating
class of the high school here.
Mr.. Eden's address throughout was
replete with interest and held the close
attention of his large audience.
He spoke largely upon the conse-
Grafton of the energies of business men
to christianity, and said that the day
would come when, instead of giving
thousands of dollars to the advance
ment of this cause, the business men
would give hundreds of thousands.
He bODed he said that maO in his
audience would yet live to see a nation
born to christianity in day, as it
would yet transpire.
The speaker touched upon the in
huence of the business mems christiani-
y,and expressed the hope that it would
ever be consistent. The average man,
Mr.. Eden thinks, does not study the
bible so much as he does the daily life
of christian people.
The able and interesting address of
Mr.. Eden was followed by short talks
by members of the League.
In conclusion, the annual election of
officers resulted in the retention of
President w. e. Brown, to whose en-
thusiastlc work is attributed in great
part the success of the League. Mr..
w. e. Staley was elected vice presi-
dent and Mr.. E. Y. Andrews secretary.
The League has large membership
already and is rapidly extending it's
sphere of us eful work.

JINGLE SAM IS AFTER MEN
Americas Has Recruiting Station for All Branches of
Service,
Service,

their choice of either assignment. Or,
if they prefer to remain in the United
States, this option is granted them.
But the privilege of trip to the
Philippines and two years of service
there is now extended for a short
time, as the regiments now on the
islands are to be relieved by other regi-
ments soon to depart, and containing
the recruits who may enlist at this
time.
This opportunity will not occur again
in some time, and those who desire to
see the Orient while wearing the uni
form of Uncle Sam will make haste to
take advantage of it.
AS stated, the Americus station will
probably remain open for some time,
at least as long as business justifies
and doubtless quite a number of re-
cruits will be received here and sent tc
the barracks at Columbus, Ohio, from
whence they are assigned to regiments
| desired.
The station was regularly opened
yesterday, and Private Williams is in
charge to give any desired information

for an INJUNCTION against the commits
sion's order reclassifying it and there
by reducing It's maximum freight rates
about 10 per cent.
Thus five of the roads reclassified to
this effect are now holding up the com
missions orders in the United States
Court. The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic is the only one which has
agreed to abide by the boards action.
Just what effect legislation to be
adopted this summer will haYe on the
situation, remains to be seen.
That there will be measure passed
increasing the powers of the Railroad
Commission, there is no question. 1t
will likewise surround that power with
certain penalties the object of which
will be to make the railroads less eager
to go to the courts.
What deterrent effect this may have
remains to be seen.

THE PEDS OF SUMTER

Meeting
OPENING OF INSTITUTE MONDAY
First Days Session Consumed in

Moore In Charge.
OPENING OF INSTITUTE MONDAY

The county school teachers of Sum-
ter are attending this week the annual
institute here, and the proceedings of
five days promise to be of much inter-
est and benefit to the several teachers
/ in attendance, as strongly indicated
already.
The session Monday morning was
held at the office of Supt. Moore at the
courthouse, opening with prayer by
Rev. G.. A. Phillips.
Supt. Moore is presiding, with Prof.
j. L. Price as secretary.
The following named teachers
answered to roll call yesterday, some
sixteen in number, or about half the
total of white teachers.
Prof. and Mrs, II. Price, Misses
Kate Hitler, Cora Cooke, Annis Clark,
Vera Snipes, Lula Brady, Kate Brady,
Annie Lum pkin, Leslie Lumpkin, Anna
Horne; Messrs. j. l.. Kenyon, j. r.
Taylor, e. NJ. Stewart and Rev. Charles
A. Phillips.
The absentees at the opening will
doubtless be present today.
| After an address from Supt. Moore,
outlining the work of the Institution,
the teachers proceeded to business.
The first number of the program
was spelling, Miss Cora Cooke leading
the discussion and explaining her
method of teaching this branch in
primary classes. Her views, as ex-
pressed, evidenced fine knowledge of
this feature of school work.
Miss Annis Clark followed, giving
her plans and methods for primary
grades. Hers was an excellent paper
and received most favorable criticism
from the teachers.
A general discussion followed, in
wich Mrs. Price, Prof. Price and Prof.
Kenyon took a leading part.
At the afternoon session penmanship
was the subject discussed. Prot. F. E.
Morton outlined the system fully,
giving in detail the good and bad
phases penmanship and emphasized
the Importance of speed and legibility
in any system adopted.
The institute will assemble again
this morning for another busy and
profitable days study.

DOC7'ORS MISTHKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their eaSy-gOing or over
busy DOCTOR separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused oy some uterine IN
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the
cause of suffering, keeps up his treatment
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, by reason OF the
wrong treatment, but probably worse. A
proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, directed to the cause would
have entirely removed the disease, there
by dispelling all those distressing symp-
toms, and instituting comfort instead OF
prolonged misery. 1t has been well said,
that "a disease known is half cured"
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is q

Washington, D. c. June 10-The
most important political matter now
under consideration is the selection of
the manager for Sect. Taft's campaign
outside of Ohio In view of the
situation in that state, it is vital to
the Secretary's interests that no mis-
take be made in the selection.
Since the entry of Mr. Taft into the
Presidential race several men promi-
nent in the Republican party have
been mentioned in connection with
this task, but last night the man most
favorably considered was Frank IL.
Hitchcock, First Assistant Postmaster
General.
If he can be prevailed upon to re-
linquish his present office, or if the
President should deem it advisable that
he should do so, it now seems quite
probable that he will become Mr..
Taft's campaign manager.
Hitchcock Astute Politician.
Although he is under forty years of
age, Mr.. Hitchcock is one of the most
sagacious politicians holding office
under the Roosevelt administration.
This fact has only recently impressed
itself upon the minds of good many
prominent public men, for Esr. Hitch
cock is modest and unobtrusive.
In organizing and manipulating
political situations he has shown
astuteness and foresight above the
ordinary, and this highly desirable
qualification has come to be recognized
by persons closely identified with
Secretary Taft's campaign.
He is the kind of politician of which
Secretary of the Treasuary Cortelyou
is a type, and it was while Mr.. Cortel-
you was Postmaster General that the
two men exercised such eXceptiona
Judgment in dealing with the party
