RECEPTION Is A BRILLIANT ONE.
Miss EIdridge EntertainS in Honor of
Her Guests.

One of the most charming and de-
[ lightful occasions, socially, in Ameri-
Gus this season was the reception ten
dered last evening by Miss Emma
Louise Eldridge in honor of her fair
guests. The handsome Eldridge resi-
dence was brilliantly lighted through
out, and with it's decorations of ferns,
palms and wealth of June roses pres
ented scene OF fairy-like beauty and
enchantment. The honorees of the
occasion were Misses Isabel Nunnally
and Allie Falker of monroe, Miss
Mary billiard of Washington, Miss
Elizabeth Harris of Sparta, and Miss
Kate Stump of Valdosta, while assist
ing the fair young hostess during the
reception hours were Misses Matte
Rylander and Elizabeth Hollis of
Amercus. A large assemblage of
young people were numbered among
the guests of the evening, and the
occasion was one of the most brilliant
and delightful that social Americus
has ever witnessed. A superb menu
of ices and light refreshments was
served. Miss Eldridge is evor
gracious and charming young hostess,
and these fair guests of week at her
house party are the recipients OF many
delightful social attentions here.

SUMTER TO GET A SOIL MAP
Congressman Lewis Takes Up Subject With Depart
mGTlt.

A soil map of Sumter county, show
ing the exact nature of soil in every
locality and its adaptability for certain
crops, is to be prepared by the United
States Department of Agriculture as
soon as the funds ava liable therefor
can be secured.
Congressman e. b. Lewis has taken
up the matter with Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, and with every pros
pect of early success.
Several weeks ago the Times-Re-
corder requested Congressman Lewis
to use his effofts to the end of having
soil survey of Sumter made by the de-
partment, showing the quality and
character of the soils here.
This Mr.. Lewis did Immediately, and
with good effect.
Quite recently he has received letter
from Secretary Wilson, in which he ex-
pressed pleasure at the interest mani
tested by the Times Recorder and
citizens of the county in requesting a
survey of the soils, so important in the
progress of our agriculture.
Secretary Wilson added thatSumter's

WANT RIGHT

Am eriCuS Merchants to Join
in Petition
WANT TO REACH BAD CREDITORS
Business Men All Over Georgia Viii
Unite to Secure Bettr Protection

and Fail to Pay Them. +.
WANT TO REACH BAD CREDITORS

Many of the business men of Ameri-
Gus are uniting in the movement to
secure an improved garnishment law
at the coming session of the State Legis-
lature.
Probably a half hundred of them
have already signed an agreement to
stand together to that end and use their
influence with their Legislators to
secure a just garnishment law, some
thing that is badly needed in Georgia.
What the merchants desire to reach
are a class of men who, while earning
large wages as mechanics, refuse to pay
bills, or make effort to do so.
Fortunately Americus has but few of
this class, but it is hoped by securing
reasonable legislation to make it i'm
possible for any man to refuse to pay
his just debts.
What is sought is an amendment to
the existing law making fifteen per
cent. OF the wages of a laborer or
mechanic liable for his just debts,
where there is no agreement, and
garnishment to the extent of
fifty per cent. in the event Of a special
agreement being signed when debts are
contracted.
Suchsa a law is manifestly just on the
face of it, and it is to be hoped that the
legislature will give business men re-
lief in this way.

RETURNED FROM THE EXPOSITION.
AmeriCuS Man Greatly Enjoys Visit
There.

Mr.. Henry P. Everett, local agent
for the Seaboard, is back from a trip
to the Exposition, having spent sever
al days there with great deal of
pleasure and interest. Mr.. Everett
says the show is a magnificent one
and more than worth the trip and ex-
pense. 1t is now wellnigh complete,
and the exhibits are most interesting
One of the really magnificent features
is the naval display, which in itself is
worth the trip as such an assemblage
of warships has never before been
made in American waters. Mr..
Everett declares the stories of extortion
regarding hotel rates etc. are very
much overdrawn. Prices, he says,
are very reasonable for an occasion
of this kind and one need have no
fear of holdup there.

grant it. The commissions recent ac-
ton was simply to decline to interfere
with its last finding, which was that
Bundrick should be hanged.
A strong fight was made in Bun
drick's behalf, it being shown that the
sentiment of the community in which
the crime was committed was largely
in favor of his commutation to life i'm
prisonment.
Attention was also called to the fact
that Bundrick, who escaped from the
Americus Jail, voluntarily gave him
self up in California and returned to
Georgia, with the death sentence hang
ing over him.
Bundrick and his brother were both
indicted for the murder of Farmer
Shrouder, as result of a dispute be-
tween the two families. The other
Bundrick is now serving a life term in
the penitentiary for his part in the
terrible crime.
And this ends the last chapter in one
of the bloOdiest crimes in Georgia.

A Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy one OF DR..
Pierce's family medicines-for all the in
gradients entering into them are printed
on the bottle-wrappers and their formula
are attested under oath as being complete
and correct. You know just what you are
paving for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both fer eX-
tracing and preserving the medicinal
principles used in them, viZ.--pure triple
refined glycerine. This agent possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties of its own,
being most valuable anti-septic and anti
ferment, nutritive and soothing demul'
cent.
Glycerine plays an important part in
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of Indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach, attended by sour risings,
heart burn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom-
ach, biliousness and kindred .derange-
ments of the stomach. liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments, the UGolden Medical Discovery"
is a specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes. as catarrh, whether of the
nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs; Even in its lucrative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem
edy if it's use be perseyered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is well,
while taking the SGolden Medical Dis,
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times a day with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron-
chial, throat and lung affections, except con-
sumption in its advanced stages, the Golden
Medical Discovery is a most efficient rem
edy, especially in those obstinate, hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion OF
the bronchial mucous membranes. The "DiS-
covery !" is not SO good for acute coughs aris-
ing from sudden colds, nor must it be ex-
pected to cure consumption in it's advanced
stages-no medicine viii do that-but for all
the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, If neg

In the Office of the Times Recorder is
displayed the soil map of another Geor-
gia county which already has taken
this progressive step, and study of it
is very interesting.
All streams of the county are shown,

locality is we'll defined. Through this

The Times Recorder extends thanks
to Representative Lewis for his interest
and promptness in pushing to success
this important matter.

MANY RECRUITS TO THE CHANGING
Zebra Corral Will Be Filled Next
Week.

Road improvements in Sumter coun-
ty will receive an impetus next week
when the Paschal Zouaves are recruit
ed as the result of trials in the city
court. Next week the criminal docket
will be taken up by Judge Crisp, ard
the host of pistol luggers, crap shooters
and other misdemeanOrs will make an
imposing array before the bar. A
large number of true bills of this char
acter were returned by the grand jury
recently in session, and half hundred
cases will be tried. The Sambo Nathan
case probably comes up as well. Inter~
est attaches to this from the fact that
Nathan is deacon in Bethesda church
and is charged with selling liquor on
Sunday morning when he should have
been showing the hat in the sanctuary.
Nathan was fined $50 in police court,
and it may come even a little heavier
on the next deal.

Telegraphic information of the hang
ing of Bundrick reached Americus a
few minutes after the unfortunate had
gone to his doom.
Much interest was felt here in regard
to the execution because of the general
knowledge of Bundrick's crime and the
further fact that he was confined for
months in the Americus Jail, from
which he finally escaped and fled to
California.
Many here believed to the last that
he would not be executed.

In all probability there will be a
increase in forces in all de-

the Seaboard Railway very shortly.
AS is always the case at the close of
the fiscal year, June 30th, expenses are
reduced to the minimum, and during
May and June only force sufficient
to keep the departments going were
retained. But there Is plenty OF work
there to be done, and with the begin

is probable that the shops forces in

ADAMS EXPRESS PAYS
A GREAT DIVIDEND
Cuts the Juicy Melon to
Tune of 200 Percent
GETTING READY FOR NEW LAW
BY Presenting Stockholders With
Enormous Increase of New Sc
CuritieS. TO,ShOW Modest
Rate of Earnings.
GETTING READY FOR NEW LAW

New York, June 21.-The announce
ment by the Adams Express Company
of a 200 per cent. dividend was i'm
mediately followed by a lot of ques-
tions which puzzled Wall street. Many
wanted to know why the company
planned such distribution of 1924. 900, :
600 at a time when the whole question
of rates was under discussion, and con-
servative interests were at loss to
know why bond issue imposing fixed
charges for the next 40 years had been
created.
The matter began to be more general
ly understood the more it was consid-
cred and discussed. One explanation
for the big dividend was that, under
lhe Hepburn rate law, the Adams Ex-
press Company, for the first time in its
history, will be forced to make state
ment of it's affairs.
Up to the present time none. of the
express companies ever has published
a statement of earnings, liabilities or
assets, but, according to the new law,
express companies, as we'll as sleeping
car companies, are declared common
carriers" and all common carriers
were directed by the law to report on
June 80 of each year, in detail.
For the first time, therefore, the
Adams Express Company will have to
tell the amount of capital stock, surplus
fund, if any, and the number of stock
holders; the funded and floating debts;
cost and value of carriers property,
franchises, equ pment and details of
balance of profit and loss.
These detailed reports must contain
all the required statistics for the pre-
ceding II months, and must be made
under oath and turned over to the In
terstate Commerce Commission Inot
later than Septembe 30.
While no information has ever been
published regarding the affairs of the
company, it was learned from trust
worthy sources that for years the man
agement had used surplus earnings to
buy gilt edged" bonds. 1t is these
bonds which will form the basis of the
200 per cent. dividend. In his state
ment, President Weir pointed out that
the interest on the securitses to be de-
posted as collateral for the bonds was
in excess of the interest charges on the
new S24 900, 600 issue.
1t was remarked today, in this con-
nection, however, that the manage
ment could not state that the same con-
ditions would exist for the next 40
years.

Atlanta June 21.-A warm contest is

representatives, from Mcintosh county,
when the legislature convenes.
w. H. Rogers, the negro member
who has served in two legislatures,
was elected again from Mcintosh on
the face of the returns by majority of
something like $50 votes.
y George Atwood, welI-known farm
er and merchant, was his opponent,
and he proposes to contest.
1t is said that Rogers did not want to
make the race, being the only negro
member of the assembly, but the ne
groes of Mcintosh forced him into the
race against his will.

SHOULD FLUSH OUT CITY SEWERS
Foul Condition May Be Responsible
For Illness.

Foul odors emanating in various
portions of the city would seem to
suggest the advisability of flushing the
ceptible at night and no doubt come
from that source. There has been no
rain recently that would lend aid in
that direction, and the sewers are
prot ably in condition needing a
thorough cleansing. This, no doubt,
would tend to decrease the number of
fever cases here.
