CRYING NEED FOR
NEW CITY CENSUS
Board of Trade Sees Many
Good Results.

At meeting of the Directors of
the Board of Trade held Wednesday
night, the desirability of having an
enumeration of the city taken was
discussed. Mr.. G. w Glover, who is
one of the committee appointed to
wait on the City Council tonight and
urge the necessity of such a census,
spoke at some length. His remarks
were heartily endorsed by other mem
bers.
Mr.. Glover pointed out the fact
that in the mercantile agency books
Americus was credited with less than
5000 inhabitants, the figures being
taken from the Federal census of
1900, while other and neighboring cit
les had taken census which had
resulted in nearly double their 1900
figures in the mercantile books
The question of expense was dis
cussed, and it was agreed that the
census could be taken accurately for
perhaps $10O. Mr.. Glover was of the
opinion that the city would get many
times that benefit in having its real
size emblazoned to the business world
He said that whenever a business man
in the United States had
occasion to consider Americus, he
was inevitably confronted with the
figures which said that the city had
less than 5000 souls.
A proposition was submitted for
the publication of city directory the
plan being for the Board of Trade to
take the census and the City Council
agree to take 100 copies of the direc-
tory. 1t was decided to await the
action of the City Council on the
latter part of the proposition

The interest created in leading cities
during the past year by young Mr..
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapcworms, are respon-
sible for mucn i'll health; and it is an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main
cause of all i'll health. He claims that
few can have poor health with a. good
digestion. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet it not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
sociated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ada Birdsall, living at 2138 Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved of large parasite by Mr..
Cooper's preparation during his stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr.. Cooper, the mother said:
my child Jessie, who is fourteen
years old, has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until
this morning we did not know what

AMERICUS Is STILL IN
NEED OF DAY CURRENT
Is Waiting for Promised
Utility.

Just when Americus is to be fav-
ored with that promised day cur
rent at the hands of the electric
light company is a subject uppermost
in the minds of a sweltering iceless
public The promise was made sew
eral weeks ago that day current would
be turned on by April 18th, at the
furthest, power being supplied from
the old electric plant. April 18th
is not here as yet and of course the
current has not materialized, but
the public is eager to know that the
promise made will be kept. Many
enterprises here using power are
more than anxious to cut out steam,
gas, water and other powers and
substitute the electric current there
for. Then, too, the hot weather is
at hand and electric fans would prove
a luxurious necessity had we the
day current. The cafe and soda foun-
tain people are ready to put in cleo
trio fans when the current is turn
ed on, and all are alike interested
1t is to be supposed that the COM
pany is working along to the end of
giving the city day current a the
time promised. Lucky for us that
the date is April 18th instead of April
1st.
