State prohibition bill The bill will
be read for it's third reading next
week, when senate bills for third
reading" is called on Wednesday This
is the day it is expected that debate
ON the measure will begin.
The opponents of the measure are
working to secure an amendment to
the pending bill to make it become OPP

"It is nothing but just that it shall
be delayed until that time" declared
an opponent of the measure in the lob

IF it is to become a law, and we
might as we'll make up our minds that
it is going to be, the legislature should
at least give the men who own brew
cries, distilleries and the like time to
get their plants moved out of the

THIS SOLDIER NEEDS NO PENSION
Brave Old Veteran Who Can Fight
Life'S Battles.

Mr. H. C. Watts, living near Am
ericus, is brave and yalorous sol
der, who, despite his seventy years
and gray hairs, possesses those traits
that made the valorous men of the
sixties. Mr.. Watts is poor in this
worlds goods, but rich in grit, pride
and independence This year he de-
cided to try farming, and accordingly
rented a mule and twenty acres of
land near Americus. He has
worked his little farm entirely alone,
but to good purpose, and his crops
will insure him an abundant sup
port for a year or two. His corn crop
will net him a hundred bushels, cas-
lily, while at this time the prospects
are good for six or seven bales of
cotton. Besides these staples he
will make probably 300 bushels of
potatoes and some peas and smaller
crops. The sale of melons from his
little patch meets all immediate
wants. The example of this gray
haired veteran is an object lesson
for the gilded youth of the day who
sucks cigarettes while his father
supports him.

the question that the bill, as it now
reads, entirely too drastic in its pro-
visions.
These druggists say that it will be
within the state and they will be com
pelled to buy it either from jobbers
outside of the state or go to the man
ufacturers in other states. Under the
provisions of the bill wholesale deal
ers cannot sell pure alcohol to retail
druggists because the sale is limited
only to retail dealers.
1t is also contended that the bill
will not allow druggists to manufac-
tuTe certain medicinal wines and tine
lures that are kept in stock, including
such preparations as wine of opium,
wine of ipecac, etc.
The bill also works hardship on
extracts, alcohol being used in the
manufacture of proprietary medicines
and aavoring extracts.
The ginger ale people are kicking
hard. tIis stated that no trace of
alcohol is used in the ale, but alcohol
is used to extract from the ginger
roots the essence of ginger, from
which the syrup is made; in fact, the
bill hits the manufacture of many
soft drinks broadside

Fifth Division.
IN INTEREST OF ROADS BUSINESS.

SAVANNAH, GA, July 19.-Presi-
dent w. A. Garrett of the Seaboard Air
Line railway passed through the city
today While here he discussed the
removal from Savannah of the office
of the division superintendent and its
being removed to Americus.
Pres. Garrett said that there had
been congestion in the Savannah ter
minals last winter and at other times,
and it was felt that the terminals
needed the entire attention of one Off
cial, and the Office of terminal super
intendent had been created.
This made it opportune for the re-
moval of the office of the division sup
to Americus, where he
would be nearer the middle of his di-
vision and better able to look after
it.
The superintendent of the Savan-
nah terminals would have only to
look after the terminals, said Presi-
dent Garrett, and it was hoped the
would prove satisfactory
and prevent the congestion which has
been experienced here.
President Garrett also took occasion
to announce the appointment of Mr..
T. j. Glazier to the new position of
terminal superintendent. Mr.. Glazier
is trainmaster at Savannah, which
position he has held several years,

MACHINES IN BIG COTTON FIELD
Sumter Farmer Does Excellent Work
in Cotton.

Mr.. Hugh Gray, while one of the
youngest farmers in the state, is one
OF the most successful as well, as
those who have seen his big plantation
twelve miles south of Americus, will
verify. Mr.. Gray operates a large
force, probably twenty or thirty plows,
and makes splendid crops of corn and
cotton. Just now his cotton crop, one
of the finest that was ever produced
on his farm, is receiving the finishing
touches preparatory to being laid by
for the pickers.. The recent rains have
given it vigorous growth, and the
plants are waist high over the broad
fields. In the laying by" process Mr..
Gray uses three machine plows, each
pulled by two fine mules. The ma
chimes work astride the rows, riding
lover the bending cotton, and the final
touches in cultivation are thus given.
Mr.. Gray thinks the cotton prospect in
Sumter unusually good this year, and
declares his own crop one of the best
Ihe has ever produced.
