STRIKE Is STILL ON
AMONG THE TELEGS.
No Business is Handled

KILOGRAMS COME THROUGH MAIL

KILOGRAMS COME THROUGH MAIL

Americas has waded through
week of the telegraphers strike, with
no change in the situation locally,
or hope of an early resumption of
business. Fortunately, there have
been but few pressing instances
wherein the service was really need
ed.
In one case of death here it was
impossible to get messages through
to relatives and friends.
Business houses in Americas con-
tinue to get kilograms daily through
the mails A bunch sent by wire
from the West as far as Macon
were put in the mails there and sent
on to Americas yesterday,
Both offices here are bottled up as
tight as at first.
Business is rapidly being resumed
in Macon, Atlanta, Savannah Column
bus, Augusta and all the cities of
the state and throughout the coun-
try. 1t is only the smaller towns
like Americas and Albany that are
affected by the strike.
And in these all business in com
pletely paralyzed, as no messages will
be handled at all.
The press wires in the larger cities
are pretty well supplied with opera
tors, but newspapers in towns of
this size can get nothing through.
The Times Recorder has to de-
pend entirely upon the long distance
phone for it's Atlanta news, and the
Albany Herald is doing the same.
And this condition, irritating in the
extreme, may have to be put up
with for an indefinite period.
Produce dealers are put to con-
| siderable loss as the market, constant

TAFT TO TALK ON
BROWNSVILLE RAID
Will Refer to Soldiers Expul-
sion in Speech in Columbus.

WASHINGTON, August 17-Among
the things to be touched by Secretary
of War Taft in his speech at Column
bus, Ohio, tomorrow, will be the
Brownsville affair.
This speech which, it is thought,
will be the keynote of the Republican
campaign, most likely will be a mes
sage from the President, similar to
the one delivered by Secretary Taft
at Akron two years ago, which UNI
horsed George B. Cox, boss of Ohio,
and caused the defeat of Governor
Herrick, Republican candidate for
reelection.
Secretary Taft is, perhaps, the most
intimate friend the President has in
the Cabinet and the two look upon
things in much the same light.

OCILLA A WINNER IN
COURTHOUSE CASE
Secretary Cook Decides in Favor
of That Town.

Col. w. A. Dodson returned yester-
day from Atlanta, where as attorney
in the case he has been watching the
contest between Ocilla and Irwinville
over the removal of the Irwin county
courthouse. Secretary of State Cook
decided the disputed county seat case
Irwin county in favor of Ocilla and
against Irwinville. Ocilla got a
large majority of the votes in the
election, but Irwinyille claimed that
there was fraud and that a number of
ballots favorable to that place were
thrown out illegally. The votes were
gone over in detail, and every feature
of the case was rehearsed before Sec
rotary Cook. The hearing had been
going on since Tuesday.
