other objects as may be considered of
public interest or value.
A large part of these relics of an
tiquity lie in the semi-arid regions Of
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colo
RADIO, where the prehistoric Cliff Dwell
ers and Pueblo Indians had their
homes. BY preserving them and max
ing accessible such articles as can be
properly collected in museums, the
government is following an enlighten-
ed policy in the interest Of the pub
lie and of the Investigations, which,
it is hoped, will eventually solve the
mysterious history of the primitive
people of North America.
The portion of the Canyon of the
Rito de los Frijoles where the pres
ent investigation will be made is in
the Jamez National Forest. Its pur
pose is to discover and preserve rel
les and antiquities which would 9TH
erwise lie unknown or would be car
ried away by unauthorized persons
and lost to science. The particular
object of the present expedition is to
obtain pottery, clay, stone, wood or
bone implements. domestic furniture
or utensils, seeds or anything else
that will serve to throw light on the
history of the people who formerly
lived there.
All specimens collected will be de-
posted and preserved in the South
west Museum of the Archaeological
Institute OF America. at Los Angeles.
This is the first permit of the kind
issued by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, and is taken as marking an
epoch in such work. in that it places
such Investigations on an entirely diff
ferent basis from the haphazard meth
DDS formerly employed.

TO KILL MOTHS.
Camphor and Tobacco Only Repei-
Carbon 1isulphide Advised.

Camphor and Tobacco Only Repel-
Carbon eisulphide Advised.
Contrary to the general belief, CAM
phor, naphthalene and tobacco will
not kill clothes moths, says Suburban
Life They act merely as repellants:
where they are used the moths will
not deposit eggs. If the eggs are al
ready laid or if the young have hatch
ed substances Of this nature will have
no effect.
In May or June the moths appear
and lay their eggs, which soon hatch
into the destructive grubs that breed
OH feathers. wool. fur and other things
Of an animal texture. The campaign
against the moths must start early
in the spring If immunity for the rest
Of the year is to be enjoyed.
The easiest way to rid clothes of
moths is to give them a thorough
brushing once q week and then ex-
pose them to air and sunshine. Where
they are to be packed away, fumi-
cation with carbon bisulphide is the
surest method. The garments are put
in tight trunk, with moth marbles.
Then a saucer is placed on top OF
the pile with four or five tablespoon
fuls of liquid carbon bisulphide in
it, easily obtained at all druggists.
The lid is closed and the trunk left
undisturbed until the clothes are
wanted.
The bisulphide evaporates, and be-
ing heavier than air, settles through
the garments. 1t is deadly to insect
life ard will destroy it in all stages.
No odor will remain in the clothes
after airing them a few moments, so
that they can be used as soon as they
are taken out. The moth marbles
prevent other females from crawling
in to lay their eggs.
A simple way, but not so sure, is
after brushing the goods to pack them
in ordinary paper boxes or flour bags,
FASTING a strip of paper over the
cracks in order to keep out the moths.
For closets, cracks. carpets, furniture
or carriage furnishings thorough
sprinkling OF beEzine or gasolene Will
clear out the pests.

Danger in Milk.

II is no longer questionable that
the milk we drink is frequently a
means of disseminating the germs OF
tuberculosis in the digestive tract.
The international medical congress,
in session in Paris, has, after a dis
cussion of the subject, adopted reso-
luton advising that all public insti-
tutions boil all the milk used. A
precau,ion deemed necessary in hos
nitals is no less necessary in the
homes of the people. AS we boil our
waker to escape the ravage of typhoid.
we must boil our milk to keep our.
selves safe from tubercular infection.

How Some Ships Are Lost.

The loss of many English fishing
boats is now said to be due to the
fact that the helmsmen often carries
a specially forged fisherman's knife
These knives possess strong mag
netic properties and will defect a
compass needle two or three points.
This means that the helmsman may
be apparently steaming true course,
but is in reality much out of the way.

SELECT AMERICUS
FOR PEACH CANNERY
Roberts Bros. Notifies Sec.
Mitchell of Decision.

Yesterday Secretary Mitchell, of
the Board of Trade, received a letter
from Roberts Bros, the peach can
ners of Maryland, stating that they
have finally decided to embark in the
canning business at Americus and
that one of them or a representative
Of the firm would be in Americus
some time in April to complete ar
rangements.
The Roberts Brothers have a can
merry at Fort Valley, as we'll as can
neries in Maryland, and are a we'll
known and responsible firm. All they
have wanted is to be assured that
there would be sufficient peaches Of
fering to make it profitable to them
to put in a canning plant at this
point
The outlook for the crop is now so
good that there is hardly any doubt
that this industry is assured for AM
ericus. The trees are crowded with
young peaches and the indications all
point to a phenomenal crop. While
the first of the fruit will all be
shipped there is no question that out
Of the enormous production looked
for in the Americus district there
will be a tremendous surplusage that
can be sold cheap to the canning fac
tory and handled profitably by it.
When the canning factory is es-
tablished the Americus Board of
Trade will have its first industry to
its credit The first will not be the
last, however, as the Board is con-
Stantly at work along this line and
it is but a matter of time before other
manufacturing establishments will be
located here as a result of it's eff

TAKING FOURTH
WARD CENSUS
1t Will Probably be Ended
by Saturday Night.

Mr.. w. P. Persons who is taking
the census for the city is now work
ing the fourth ward The first three
days of the week he secured the
names of 1,043 persons living in that
section Of the city. BY Saturday
night he hopes to have the census of
the ward completed, and will prob
ably be in position to announce the
census in next Sundays Times-Re-

Mr.. Person is taking the name of
every person living in a house, get
ting in addition the occupations of
those who are at work. Where there
are servants living on the premises
their names are also taken and their
occupation also secured.
The census gives promise of being
a very complete and entirely accurate
one. While it is too soon as yet to
make any prognOstications as to the
exact number of inhabitants it will
show there is no doubt but that it
will disclose that Americus has had a
phenomenal growth since 1900.

SENATOR CLAY AT
WORK FOR BUILDING
Hopeful of Appropriation
for AmeriCuS.

With Senator Steve Clay in the
Senate and Representative 'Lige
Lewis working in the House, Americus
stands an excellent chance of getting
that extra appropriation for it's new
public building from this Congress.
If it does not come this year the
lines will all be laid to get it
from the next Congress. Messrs.
Clay and Lewis are working jealous
ly together in behalf of the additional
appropriation and will exert every
effort to give Americus a building that
will be an adornment to a city of the
size and possibilities of this and an
honor to the entire Third District.
Yesterday the Board of Trade re-
ceiVed the following letter from Sem
ator Clay:
Il have your favor with resolutions
enclosed in regard to an increased
appropriation for public building. l
recognize the fact that the present
appropriation is not sufficient. I
have introduced a bill to increase it
and hope to be able to report it in
the Senate in a few days Rest as
sured this matter shall have my
prompt attention, and l hope for
favorable results
Senator Clay is one of the most
popular and most efficient workers in
the upper House, and Representative
Lewis, with his years of experience
and long friendships with the mem
bers of the lower body is also an
equally efficient worker there With
both of these shrewd workers put
ting in their efforts in behalf of
Americus the appropriation is bound
to come.
Inside of another two years there
will be fine public building on the
present vacant lot by the artesian
well and Americus will have taken
another great stride forward.

SUMTER TO COUNT ALL
THOSE OF SCHOOL AGE
School Census of County
Ordered.

The county board of education has
ordered the taking of a school cen
sus of Sumter, and the work is to be
entered upon next Wednesday, April
1st, by the seven enumerators select
ed by the board yesterday for this
work
The enumeration will be very thor
ough, and is expected to show six
thousand children of school age
in the county, exclusive of those re-
siding in Americus,
The county board, of course, has
no jurisdiction over the city schools,
which are governed Independently.
The seven enumerators appointed
yesterday are for the several dis
tricts of the county, outside the city,
and are as follows:
Plains and old 26th district, John
Hitler.
Seventeenth district, D. P. MUIR
ray.
New 26th and 9th districts, Will
Daniel. The 9th is the district in
which Americus is located.
Twenty district, John Meth
vim.
Twenty-ninth district, Warren Bat
tie.
Fifteenth and old 10th districts.
Roy Wade. The 18th district in
cludes the towns of Leslie, DeSoto
and Cobb.
New sixteenth district, B. F. Mar

Thus all of the nine districts of
the county are provided for in the

All the incorporated towns are
taken separately and in these, es-
pecially Plains, DeSoto and Leslie
large gains are expected over the
census figures of five years ago, ow-
ing to the influx of people into these
localities within that period.
The age of pupils, white and color
ed, to be counted in the census are
between and 18 years.
At the last school census of Sum-
ter taken in 1903, five years ago, the
total number of pupils of school age
were 5,558. At the previous census,
that of 1898, the total was $500 This
showed an increase of but 26S pu-
pills within five years
This fact is accounted for in the
number of people who removed from
the country to the towns within that
period. But since then there has been
a steady increase in the rural popu-
latiOn, and the figures this year will
far exceed those for 1903
In fact, the 5000 mark will be
easily passed, it is thought
Supt. Moore requests the census
takers to meet the board of education
at his office here Wednesday, April
1sts to receive their papers and nee
essary instructions for making the
count.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
