BIG CLOTHING SALE
STARTS Off FAVORABLY
ChaS. |. AnSIey Determined
to Tighten Stock.

AS announced in the Tines-R ecor-
der, Mr.. Chas. L. Ansley on Thursday
morning opened up large stock of
clothing in the building owned by
him at the corner of Forsyth and
Jackson streets.
Lack of room in his other store
house and the determination of MIR.
Ansley to throw his large clothing
stock on the market almost without
reference to cost led him to open up
the new department in a building ex-
clusiyely set apart for the sale. While
the public will get the benefit of the
unusual cut in values which Mr..
Ansley has announced, he will in
turn convert his goods into cash and
will be satisfied to sell the stock even
at a loss to himself
Yesterday the patronage was very
encouraging, and Mr. Ansley be-
lieves that the coming week will
see thriving business done. AS
soon as the public is thoroughly in
formed as to the cuts which are be-
ing made in clothing prices by this
progressive merchant the buying will
set in with such force that the stock
will find quick sale.
q mean just what my ADVERTISE
ments in the Times Recorder say"
was Mr.. Ansley's statement last night.
81 have placed on sale a $4,000 stock
of clothing at prices which will mean
bargains to every man or boy who
makes purchase 1t is not necessary
that the clothing should be actually
needed, as it will be money saved to
lay in supply ahead, for such bar
gains will not in my judgment be
again offered in Americas for a long
time, perhaps for years.
1T is the custom to have sacrifice
sales late in the season of winter
clothes, but this is a seasonable sale
at late-season prices. Values have
been cut ruthlessly and the public
will get the benefit. All I ask is
that those interested in clothing come
and see the goods and the prices.
leave it to them to say whether or
not they are bargains I am Offering
Il am determined to tighten my
stock and the prices I am making
will show the public that am in ear
nest"

A. WINTER IN AMERICUS
DOWN ON THE FARM
Ohio Family Has Returned
Here.

Mr. C. W. Raymond, and Mrs. Ray
mond, accompanied by Mr. G. F. Ware
all of Dayton, Ohio, are in Americas,
arriving day or two since to remain
through the winter. Mr.. and Mrs.
Raymond will be domiciled at their
beautiful country home, six miles
from the city, the site of the great
Raymond-Ware orchards. These gen
tlemen have something more than one
hundred thousand selected peachtrees,
all of which will come into full bear
ing next season. The trees are in
prime condition, and Captain Ray
mond hopes for an abundant first
crop" of luscious Georgia peaches.
He has transformed an old cotton
plantation into one of the most val
liable peach orchards in southern
Georgia.

WIDE COMMENT
ON COURTS CHARGE
To Grand Jury on Gam
bling and Tipping.

Recently Judge Littlejohn gave
a charge in which reference was made
to dispensing wines to minors and
also to playing cards at social gath
erings for prizes. He told the grand
jury that each of these acts was an
offense against the statutes.
Judge Littlejohn's opinion was
widely copied, though in many in
stances the words were so badly
twisted as to say things not con
templated by the court. One New
York paper said that the charge was
provoked by inclination on the part
of some Americas folks to get
"bOozy"
Commenting on the charge the Col
umbus Enquirer-Sun says:
"A South Georgia judge, in his
charge to a grand jury, has declared
that it is as great a crime to serve
punch, champagne or other intoxi-
cants to young ladies or minors at a
reception or card club as it is to
furnish it from a saloon"
There is something peculiarly ex
hilerating in contemplating these
evidences of the progress of reform
Over all the state the light-white
banner of reform is waving Human
nature has been transformed and
men have been made good through
legislation What might be termed
public gambling places have been
closed, crap-shooting, even, is a lost
art, the blind-tiger has disappeared
in the tall timber and the only black
dens are the saloons in the reception
rooms and parlors of the homes of
some of the states best people who,
strange to say, as rule help to up
hold civic, religious and educational
Institutions and are really good citi-
zens
Having suppressed minor trans
gressions of the law, the courts re-
ferred to are blazing the way in
blotting out the greater evils that are
making the state wilderness of
wickedness"

GOOD THINGS TO EAT
AT SPARKS=MASHBURN
Tempting Assortment OF
Christmas Supplies.

What would Christmas be without
the feast? A dreary time indeed.
To guard against such a disaster
the Sparks-Mashburn company has
laid in a supply of good things which
is sufficient to produce violent hum
ger at any time, merely to enumer-
ate.
For the Christmas table the firm has
received a fine line of fruit cakes
ready baked for the table. This will
save housewives the worry and labor
of providing this necessity for the
spread Along with this goes raisins,
nuts and fruits, including pineapples,
olives, apples and cranberries.
The Sparks-Mashburn Company has
also provided for the holiday season
an especially fine line of cheese, in
Guiding a number of imported brands,
such as Swiss and Rocequefort. Ger
calls of the choicest variety are in
stock, including puffed rice, teas,
spices and pickles are also an attrac-
tive part of their display.
All that the head of the household
needs ito do is to step inside the
store and she will see a tempting ar
ray of all the good things for the
table. The reputation of the firm
for handling only the choicest of
everything is fully sustained in their
standard and Christmas stock.

TURN THE DOLLAR LOOSE

Merchants are inclined to complain
that the cash trade is not quite up to
the average thus far this month They
are hoping however that before
Christmas comes their patrons will
open up their purse strings and dig
up from their strong boxes their coin
One measure of the amount of
money in circulation in Americas
and contiguous territory is the size
of the cotton receipts and sales. So
far the receipts for cotton are little
larger than up to the same time last
year Warehousemen say that I'M
sold stocks are little if any larger
than normal The conclusion is
therefore irresistible that the cotton
growers are boarding their money,
rather than turn it loose for the Ii
quotation of current accounts or for
cash purchases.
1t would seem that the trouble is
not that the prospective purchasers
have not money for purchases but
that the recent money furry has
caused the farmers to cling to their
actual cash with a desperate grip.
This policy would seem to be very
short-sighted one, and one which is
destructive of the interests of the
holders themselves. Money is but
a medium of exchange and is useful
only as such. One dollar put in cir
culation is likely to quickly pay off
debts twenty times as large as the
medium of exchange, and quite posi-
bly, the same dollar will land in the
hands of the man who first paid it
out.
When a man tries to collect all
the money he can from those who
owe him, and in turn tries to put off
the payment of all claims against
him, he is pursuing a very poor poll
cy.
Keeping money around the house
is also a very dangerous plan Bur-
glars have come to recognize the fact
that money is being kept in houses
more than has been the custom, and
are plying their trade with success in
the country.
Instances of the activity of thieves
in Georgia are plentiful. Albany has
been afflicted with an epidemic of
burglaries, while farmers are being
robbed In Randolph county a few
days ago a farmer was robbed of
81 500 which he had hidden in the
bed. To keep large sums Of money
in the house is a menace to both pro-
perty and life.
The place for money is in circula-
ton, and whether it is used in pay
ing obligations, purchasing Christ
mas goods, or placed in local banks,
it will fulfill it's mission and bring
prosperity and happiness to the farm
er, the merchant and every line of
business.
Turn the dollar loose. The eagle
will scream if Rugged too tightly.
