Could Have Held On.

Under the tactics adopted the fill
buster could have lasted for weeks,
provided the one-ffth continued to
vote with us, and provided the house
abided by its rules.
But the prohibitionists, on the
theory that the end justified the
means, had determined to overrule
the speaker, which requires only a
majority vote, and had determined to
then set aside all rules of the house
and vote Immediately on the bill A
filibuster is only possible by the use
of dilatory tactics allowed under these
rules of the house, but when these
rules are set aside this sends the mat
ter.
1t requires a threefourths vote of
the house to set aside the rules and
could the ants have mustered forty
five votes they could have prevented
this being done. But we were unable
to do so; the ayes and nays would
have been called and while we got as
many as forty-four votes on holding
up hands, thirty-three was the larg-
est number we obtained ON an aye
and nay vote,
The prohibitionists, having the nee
essary three-fourths vote to set aside
the rules, and having determined up
on this course, the fiIibuster of q
necessity came to an end.

SUMTER WILL SHOW SLIGHT GAINS
In Property Values When Total is
Made Up.

Sumter will join the other counties
in showing a gain in taxable values
this year, although the increase will
not be nearly so great as last year,
when a gain of more than 100000
was shown. Tax Receiver Speer has
not yet finished making up the di-
gest, and the exact figures of gain
therefore, cannot be had at this
time. Receiver Speer thinks there
will be some gain in taxable values,
but not so much as last year. The
decrease in gain, he attributes large
ly to the fact that there was no cot
ton on hand this spring, as was the
case last year, the high prices hay
ing induced rapid selling of the staple.
Land values are returned about as
last year, though in some instances
at a considerable increase, as it
should be. While lands are held by
the owners at fancy prices they are
not given in for taxes at anything
like such figures.

Employed By the PIuCky Minority in Conducting Fill
buster
Recognized OpessneSs of Effort But Preferred Defeat Knock
down.

The mastery manner in which
the recent filibuster in the House was
conducted aroused admiration even
among the opponents of the hopeless
minority" and many have wondered
at the excellent display of general
ship. With little hope of success the
minority battled on, preferring hon
orable defeat to a square out back
down and surrender.
One of the minority filibusters, who
is well known in Americas, thus tells
of the tactics employed:
VERY little hope was entertained
that the filibuster would be success
full. Mr.. Hall of Bib, while admit
ting that there was nothing to be
lost by making the effort, predicted
that it would not last three hours.
But TO rthe fact that the filibuster was
conducted with great skill by the mi
nority and was marked by very poor
management on the part of the pro-
hibitionists, this would have been the
result
1.-THE chief credit for the filibuster
belongs to Dunbar of Richmond, Hines
of Baldwin, Blackburn of Fulton,
Barrow and Adams of Chatham Joe
Hill Hall of Bibb is an opponent of
prohibition, but except when an effort
was made to depart from the rules or
override the speaker of the house
took no part in the filibuster
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-07-31
But One Course.

but with the rules set aside, the
only dilatory tactics left to the mi
nority was the introduction of sew
eral hundred frivolous amendments to
the bill. But with the rules set
aside, the right of a member to ex-
plain his vote and the right to call
for the ayes and nays on every qeus-
ton were gone, and therefore a delay
of more than two days, and probably
not this long, was the most of the
minority could hope for And by
the Gambler resolution more time than
this was secured.
"In addition to this, where there
was no hope of defeating the bill, it
was a serious question in the minds
of many of the minority whether, I'M
der their oaths as legislators, for
the purpose of delay only, they had
the right to hold up important legis-
lation and cause the state great ex-
pense.
Among the marin purposes of the
minority in going into the filibuster
were: To enter their protest in I'M
mistakable terms against the bill; to
secure a guarantee of a full and fair
hearing of the views of the minority;
to demonstrate that the majority
could not run over them rough shod,
as there was an evident purpose to
do.
To delay vote until the majority
had cooling time" and there was
some opportunity for sober second
thought to assert itself, and to Sc
cure time to argue with the prohibit
tionists as to the desirability of
amending the. bill in important parti-
culars. All of these results were
accomplished by the filibuster

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. An Americas Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys If suffering from a lame
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness or when
urinary trouble sets in they think
it will soon correct itself And so
it is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders You must cure
these troubles or they lead to diabe-'
ties or Bright's disease. The best
remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills.
1t cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Americas
people testify to permanent cures.
A. A. Willis, a we'll known farmer,
living just outside of Americas, says:
Il believe that your pills are all that
is claimed for them. | had kidney
trouble and backache, from which
had been a sufferer for many years.
After lying or sitting in one position
for any length of time | could hardly
get up on account of the dull heavy
pain in the small of my back At
times | seemed to almost lose the
use of my back, and would have to
take hold of something for support.
The kidney secretions were disorder
ed, being dark and full of sediment,
and of a strong odor / used many
different remedies but without much
if any benefit until l got Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Since using them my back
feels strong. The pain has left it,
and the kidney secretions have also
been restored to a normal condition.

Pressure from Home.

There are a large number of rep
resentatives who because of the
pressure brought to bear by their
constituents intend to vote for the
bill, but who do not believe in it's
wisdom. The filibuster decidedly
strengthened the minority with these
members.
They recognized the right of the
minority to make a reasonable pro-
test and enjoyed the discomfort of
the prohibitionists. But a prolonged
tilibuster, defeating the passage of
measures, in which such members
were personally interested, would have
so angered them as to destroy all
hope of getting them to act with us
on any amendments.
las indicated above, there was alb
solutely nothing to be gained by an
attempt to continue filibuster5 and
on the other hand there was every
substantial reason which demanded
the course pursued by the minority"

WASHINGTON, D. c. July 30.-Un-
Gle Sam has started the largest en-
ployment bureau in the world, for
that is what the new information
bureau of the immigration service is
becoming. Some time ago Commits
sioner of immigration Sargent decid-
ed that much valuable information
might be gathered by inquiring into
the facts about the reported demand
for labor in all parts of the coun-
try.
Terence " Powderly, who is in
charge of the bureau, opened cor
respondence with the responsible of
fcers of all the States concerning the
need of labor and the opportunity for
employment in those States. 1t has
been learned, as result of this in
quiry that more workers are want
ed everywhere, and that every COM
munity wants all of the desirable i'm
migrants that it can get.
One of the objects of Mr.. Sargent's
inquiry was to find out as much as
possible about the proper distribu-
ton of immigrants, so that newcom-
ers could be sent where they were
wanted and so that people who need
ed workers could find them through
the bureau.
mo man in this county, who is
able and willing to work" says Mr..
Powderly, has any excuse for idle
ness. There is demand from practi-
cally every State for labor, both
skilled and unskilled The factories
and farms, the mines and mills, all
join in the chorus of demand, while
from everywhere comes the soprano
note of insistence that more domestic
servants be provided"
When Mr.. Powderly was given
charge of the work as chief of the
Information Bureau, he sent out
circulars to all governors, asking
specific questions about labor condi-
tions, the demand for workers, the
kind of work to be done, wages, con-
ditions of employment, etc. He in
quired especially about the opportun-
tiles for getting cheap land, and
whether the State offered any in
ducements to immigrants.
From all parts of the country came
the reply: Send us men to work. -
New York and Oregon, Georgia, and
Louisiana, all wanted them Mar
ried or single, all are wanted" is the
message from Oregon.
In Georgia, single men are pre-
ferred, but all will be welcomed who
want to work. Farm laborers are
in demand in that state, and men are
needed in the industrial centers, es-
pecially in the iron trade. Louisiana
included in her demand for workers
the offer of free homes and fuel. Mill
hands there can get from $3.50 To
81 per day, according to their skill
Aliens can secure lands for homes
at the lowest prices and on THEN
own terms.
New York reports that she needs
laborers for the farms. Many farms
in the state are for sale or rent, be-
cause there are no persons to work
them. No laborers or mechanics fol-
the cities are needed in New York
where the only scarcity seems to be
on the farms.
