Nerve Sick

If weak, worn-out, nervous, cannot sleep; have indigestion, head ache, neuralgia or peri odic pains, it is because your nerves are weak. It is the lack of nerve force that makes the stomach, heart, lungs, etc., work imperfectly-become sick. Dr. Niles Nervine cures the sick when it restores nerve strength, and puts the power behind the or gans to do their work.
 Almost three years I suffered from nervousness, indigestion. and palpita- sleep with comfort, or walk or talk without suffering. Altogether I was in bad condition. My doctor did not seem to do me any good. I had tried so many remedies that 1 did not have much hope of any of them doing me any good. Dr. Miles Nervine was suggested by a friend. I got relief from the first, and after a few days l felt like a new person. It not only relieved my heart and nerves, but has 1nvigorated my whole system. I am very grateful because since I have stopped using it, have had absolutely no return of my old trouble'

DECISION IN BROWN
CASE AFFIRMED
Judge Littlejohn's Decision At
6rmed by Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has just handed
down the decision in the case of
Brown versus Mcbride, which went
to that tribunal from Lee county,
This case represents the matter of
litigation between the heirs of Mrs.
w. w. Hooks, deceased, and w. r.
Brown of Albany.
The heirs contended that a certain
plantation formely owned by Virgil
P. Clegg, of Lee county, ought to be
recovered by them.
This case establishes the will of
Virgil Clegg who in that document,
bequeathed it to these heirs, who
are his grandchildren. The will had
heretofore been declared of no force,
but this latest decision reverses all
this.
The plantation at issue comprises
over 1900 acres of very fine farming
land in Lee county, near Americus.
The heirs, who will thus inherit these
lands are children of Mr.. Walter w.
Hooks, whose first wife was the
daughter of Virgil CIegg.
Soon after Mr. Clegg's death the
will was set aside and this land was
sold to Mr.. w. r. Brown of Albany,
who has since held it, and who is the
losing marty lin this suit,
The attorneys representing w. R.
Brown are Fort & Son and Col. E. A.
Hawkins. Those representing the
Hooks children are w. G. Martin of
Leesburg, Jas. Taylor, Shipp e Shep-
pard of Americus.

bany, as projected, would be the
first long-distance electric railways
in the South and would be more or
less in the nature of an experiment,
upon the success or failure of which
would depend the Inauguration of
other similar projects.
To exact a tax, payable monthly,
based upon the gross receipts of
these new enterprises before they
have demonstrated their ability to
pay their operating expenses and
fixed charges, to say nothing of in
terest returns to stockholders, would
be an unjust burden upon these new
enterprises from their very incip-
iency, which the financial interests
cannot undertake to assume.
1t is to be hoped that you and the
honorable body, the Senate, of which
you are member, will not permit the
strangling of these projected new
enterprises which would do so much
for the development of Georgia and
add so much to the taxable values
of the State.
In the State of Indiana since the
advent of interurban electric rail
ways, eight years ago, the increased
taxable valuation amounts to over
$S6,000,000 directly attributed to the
electric lines.
1t is apparent to every citizen of
Georgia that more and better trans
portation facilities are badly needed.
Does the State wish to prevent the
building of these electric railways?
Does the State wish to forego the
great revenues to the State that
would follow the greatly increased
taxable valuations that the electric
lines would produce If so, the pro-
posed taxation on the gross receipts
will effectually accomplish that end.
Yours very respectfully,
E. d. HARRINGTON.

SIX INCHES OF RAIN
FALLS IN AMERICUS
Precipitation During August Is
Very Heavy.

August, as rule is a prohibition
month from the standpoint of general
wetness, but the record this time is
broken.
During the month, to date, six
and one third inches of rain has fall
len in Americus.
This would have made Noah's sprin-
kle look like a mudpuddle had it all
come at the same time. But luckily
it did not.
This precipitation is something
fierce when one thinks of it.
And the farmers are doing a whole
lot of thinking just now, and possibly
bit of swearing, as the rains are
hurting the crops.
The stalk is running to weed in
stead of fruiting.

gave the Times-Recorder yesterday

0CILLA AND IRWINNILLE WAR
Regarding Location of Courthouse
Case is Now Being Heard Be-
fore Secretary Cook at

OCILLA AND RWINVILLE WAR

Col. w. A. Dodson has been in AT
lanta for the past two or three days
where as attorney he has been en-
gagged in the legal battle waged be-
tween Ocilla and Irwinville relative
to the location of the courthouse site
in Irwin county, battle royal.
Both towns are after the court
house with a bunch of lawyers.
In the recent election the people
voted to remove the court house from
Irwinville to Ocilla, but Irwinville ap-
pealed on the ground that the cleo
ton was illegally conducted, and
that a large number of votes cast
in Irwinville's favor were unlawfully
thrown out
The only appeal in such cases i S
to the secretary of state. There ap-
peared before him, representing Ocil-
la, Reuben A. Arnold and James L.
Anderson of Atlanta, and Eason &
Bull, of Fitzgerald.
In behalf of Irwinville there ap-
peared Judge A. L. Miller of Macon,
Hal Lawson of Abbeville, Leander
Kennedy of Fitzgerald and w. A.
Dodson of Sumter and Emmett Barnes
of Macon.
Almost the entire day was con-
sumed in the reading of the volumi-
nous testimony. This was comprised
in more than 1000 pages of typewrit-
ten matter, the taking of it having
required some sixty days.
The decision of the secretary of
state in the matter will be final
If he decides in favor of Ocilla, the
legislature will then pass a bill pro-
yidiag for the removal. In fact, the
senate has already passed this bill
in order to get it'before the house in
time for action at this session, should
the decision of the secretary of state
be favorable to the contention of Oc-
lila.
In case the decision should be for
Irwinville, then the court house will
remain where it is and no legislative
enactment will be necessary.

ent before the Senate.
Mr.. Harrington and his associa-
tes contend that, if, in accordance
with the proposed legislative enact
ments, they should be made to pay
their franchise and ad yalorem. taxes
on their property it will amount to
over three per cent and with the in
come tax of one per cent added, a
burden of exceeding four per cent
will be placed upon them.
AS told by the Times Recorder last
Friday, Mr. Harrington has been
directed by his associates in the
North to hold Up all the work until
it is ascertained what the State pro-
poses to do Some twenty million
dollars capital is involved and it's
expenditure will not be made in the
State if the proposed laws are enact
ed.

Resolutions Last Night.
At the meeting of the Americus
Board of Trade last night the fol-
lowing was presented;
Whereas, There is a general strike
of the operators of the Western I'm
ion and Postal Cable Telegraph
Companies, which control the en-
tire telegraph business of this coun-
try, and
Whereas, This strike has resulted
in an almost complete cessation of
the use of the telegraph lines as a
medium for the transaction of busi-
ness, resulting in tremendous dis
turbance to business interests gen
orally and
Whereas, There is a probability of
a long continuance of this demoraliz-
alton and disturbance of business af-
fairs, therefore
Be it Resolved, That the Board
of Trade of Americus, representing
the business interests of this city,
unite with the trade organizations
of Georgia generally in an appeal
to the federal authorities to take
such steps as may be necessary to
bring the strike to a speedy conclu-
sion ,and
Resolved, further, That we submit
the representative from this district
in Congress the advisability of his
uniting with any steps that may be
taken in Congress to enforce arbitra-
tion of disputes of this character.
Copies CT these resolutions to be
sent to the Congressman from thie
district and to the Savannah Board
of Trade, as one of the leading gen
eral trade organizations of this
