Ne. Wallace Duncan Dead.

Mr.. Wallace Duncan, who had been
resident Of Hartford the past five
or six years, died at his room in the
Nall property ON Center street, last
Saturday night at $3.50 O'Clock. While
not apparently in the best of health,
he was Ill only about four hours and
the disease Of which he died is known
as angina pectoris, the most painful
and fatal form ef heart trouble. He
was discovered by Mr.. Daniel King
leaning on the banister of the steps
which lead up TO his room, shortly
after four o'clock. Mr.. King assist
ed him inside. put him on his bed
and summoned a doctor. He immed-
lately became unconscious and remain
ed SO until the end. prs. Pendleton
and Stanley and a number of friends
worked with him constantly aud used
every effort to save his life, but to
no avail.
Mr.. Duncan was an undertaken and
embalmer by profession and a good
one, but he had not lately worked
steadily at his trade. He did general
repair work and kept batch" in the
little room where he died. Soon after
death his remains were taken to the
residence of Mr.. b, B. Collins, who
kindly offered this accommodation.
Relatives at ElizabethtOwn were COM
municated with and they ordered his
body shipped there, which was done
next day, after being nicely prepared
for burial.
Mr.. Duncan was d kind-hearted, ac-
commodating old gentleman, well lik-
ed by everybody WHO knew him. He
was apparently about SIS years old
at the time of his death. His death
was SO sudden that II was a shock
to the whole community.

COURT DECIDED
IN HIS FAVOR
Cooper Fought to Retain Formula Which Has
Made a Fortune

l.. I. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent of all ill health of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble, is fast winning a national
faith in his theory His claim is now
admitted by surprising number of
people throughout the country, and he
IS gaining new adherents every day
While speaking of his success in a
recent interview, Mr. Cooper said: II
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom-
ach would have a fortune. When I
got hold of this formula | knew with
in six months that | was right, and
that my fortune was made | called
the medicine Cooper's New Discovery
although | did not get up the formula
| have owned it however, for over
three years. | have had one lawsuit
over it, which | won in the courts,
When it was settled the Cooper Medi-
cine Company became the only firm in
the world that can prepare the medi-
cine. The preparation has sold like
wildfire wherever introduced. AS |
have said before, it is successful sim
ply because it puts the stomach in
perfect shape, then nature does the
rest. There are any number of COM
plants never before associated with
trouble that the medicine has
alleviated in thousands of cases"
Among statements obtained recently
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-02-04

from users of this medicine that is
arousing such universal discussion is
one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living
in Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule-
ward, who said: Perhaps | had the
most complicated case that Mr.. Cooper
had to deal with. | was troubled for
years with my stomach. | consulted
with doctors and took many patent
medicine preparations without result
My stomach was in such a wretehed
condition that | could not enjoy a
meal that | ate
Il was very nervous, and could
hardly sleep; / had a roaring in my
ears and dancing spots before my
eyes. | felt bad and weak Then there
was very sore spot at the pit of my
stomach that nearly set me wild
Il heard about the Cooper medicine
and decided to try it. | used four bot
ties, and the improvement in my case
has been really wonderful. My nerves
have been quieted and / am so much
improved that | feel like new wo-
man.
81 canot say too much for these
wonderful remedies, for they have
made me well"
We sell the Cooper medicines and
consider them well worth a trial by
any one afflicted with chronic stom-
ach trouble and it's attendant dis

GROUNDING SAW
SHADOW SUNDAY
PrOgnOStiCatOr Expects Six
Winter Weeks.

When the traditional grounding
emerged from his winters retirement
Sunday he had no difficulty in seeing
his shadow BY all the rules which
were in effect centuries before the
weather department was dreamed of
or began to dream on its own ac-
count-this means that Americas will
have forty more days of winter.
Had the sun remained in hiding this
old-time prognosticator would have
come to the conclusion that spring
was about to burst into full bloom,
and remained outside And here was
less difficulty in believing that the
grounding was true prophet for
the day was cool and yesterday was
colder.
After having ascertained for him
self the state of the weather for the
next forty days, the experienced fore
caster, Mr. Grounding, crawled back
into his burrow to take another
"snooZe" lasting well into March.
Many who have to get up on the
cold mornings which are scheduled
will doubtless envy the grounding his
long nap.

Americas, Ca, February 4, 1908.
WILL REBUILD AT ONCE

In the burning of the plant operated
by the Americas Compress Company
on Sunday night, Americas has suf-
fered a loss. But there is much con-
ISOLATION in the thought that it might
have come at a much more inoppOr-
tune time, if there could be such a
thing as an opportune time for such
a misfortune. Anyhow, the great bulk
of the cotton has been compressed for
the season.
But much better than that, is the
announcement that the plant will be
rebuilt at once Within the next ten
days the Messrs. Council and the
Messrs. Harold, the owners, will be
gin the work of clearing away the
debris. The insurance adjusters are
already at work on the loss and the
settlement will no doubt be promptly
made
The new compress will be enlarged
and equipped with the most modern
machinery. This will result in Am
CIRCUS having perhaps the best COM
press in the state, outside of three
larger cities This will attract cot
ton here next season and for sue
ceeding seasons. Out of her present
loss, Americas will get future gains
The owners of the compress kept
the plant fully insured, so that the
weight of the loss falls on the insur-
ance companies. But the owners will
not wait for the insurance money to
get busy on rebuilding. Long before
the first bale of the new crop has
been picked, the compress will be
ready to handle all offerings in the
most economical and best lyle.

PORTUGAL'S KING SLAIN

King Carlos, of Portugal, and
Crown Prince LUZ Philippe, were as
sassinated Saturday in Lisbon. AS
the king and Crown Prince, accom-
panied by the Queen and her son,
Prince Manuel, were being driven
from the railroad station to the pal
ace under guard, a group of men,
waiting at corner sprang out, and
pulling carbines from under their
coats, fired into the carriage, with the
result stated. Three of the attack
ing party were killed by the guards.
Great excitement prevails, both in
Portugal and in Spain, over the regi-
eide. A rigid press censorship prob
ably prevents the real facts from be-
ing known to the world.
The primary cause for the murder
Gus attack on the King was the in
tolerable domination of Premier Joao
Franco, who had gotten strong hold
on the King and was carrying on the
Government in utter disregard of the
rights and wishes of the people Act
ing under Francois advice, the King
dissolved the Chambers last May This
was declared to be an unconstitution-
al step. A dictatorship was establish
ed, Franco ruling with an iron hand
since that time

busy. Numerous uprisings were sup
pressed by the police, but the move
ment grew daily On Jan % the po-
lice discovered a widespread plot to
kill Franco. A number of arrests
were made and bombs and ammuni-
ton seized. 1t was evidently consid-
cred the more effective scheme to kill
the King, and thus strike terror to
Franco, whose pet he was.
Some weeks ago Franco had pub
lished a laudatory notice of himself
and his alleged devotion to the peo-
pie, which was copied in this coun-
try. But recently a more accurate
estimate, it would appear, has been
published of the man from the pen
of leader of the Portuguese Radicals.
This writer says:
The whole of his (Franco's) ad-
ministration is saturated with deceit
and falsehoOd His liberal program
lie; his administrative program-a
lie. He has set yoke upon the neck
of Portugal which the country can
never shake off except by revolution
This man cries out against corrup-
ton. Portugal has never had min
lister so corrupt He has begun, more
over, to corrupt the King and has
completely corrupted the upper
classes, whose help he felt he need
ed. What is the political aim of this
liberal who is a traitor to freedom,
this ruler who declares that he is
a strong in his rectitude, but is still
as thoroughly corrupt as the others?
He has no aim. He is an adventurer,
who seeks adventures, at any cost,
tragic or bloody, or what not"
Premier Franco has proclaimed
Prince Manuel as King, and given
out an official statement of the kill
ing. The revoutionists have seemed
awed by the magnitude of their first
outburst, and quiet prevails, but it
is likely only the calm before a fur
