MAINE WOMAN MAKES OATH
IN REGARD TO STATEMENT

In connection with the intense in
terest manifested by the public at
large in the theory of L. r. Cooper
as to the human stomach being the
source Of nearly all i'll health, the
statements OF Mr.. w. D. Spaulding,
of HallOWell, Me, one of the oldest
and best known druggists in that
state, and Of Mrs. Frederick Harvey, a
well known nurse living in the same
place, will be interesting to thousands
of persons who are today suffering
from ailments directly traceable to the
stomach. The fact that these state
ments are made voluntarily, under
oath, removes all element of doubt
The statements follow:
"HallOWell, Maine, July 20, 1907.
ITO the Cooper Medicine Co.,
Dayton, Ohio.
"Gentlemen-The policy at Spauld-
ing's drug store is to gain the per-
feet confidence Of the public by never
recommending any medicine or treat
ment until it's virtues have been fully
established. The Cooper Remedies
were to us an unknown quality, We
were very skeptical of their medicinal
value, and it was not until several of
our customers had received such bene-
fetal results from their use that we
could no longer doubt their value that
we consented to take the agency for
the Cooper Remedies in this territory,
heartily endorsing the same.
Herewith we give the testimonial
OF lady whose case came under our
personal observation from her being
a regular customer and she says:
Gentlemen of the Cooper Medi-
cine Co., Dayton, Ohio: 1t is with
pleasure [ recommend your New Dis

AMERICUS is GOING TO
PUT ON THE TAGS
Ladies of Hospital Will Tag
Citizens.

The cry this week will be tag, tag,
tag. AmeriCus will be enjoying the
excitement and fun of tag day next
Saturday, so we are notified by the
cards in every store window in the
city.
Many will ask, what is tag day? 1t
is a day that the ladies of the city
will ask permission to tag you for a
consideration, after which you will be
free to vote for Hoke Smith or Joe
Brown or any one else you choose.
But the man will be brave indeed
who can walk the streets of our
city without a tag-tag-tag
There will be a general cry for
tags, men, women, boys and girls
will want them. The very houses will
be tagged, all because the object is a
laudable one.
The coed women Of the hospital
auxiliary are willing to contribute
their time and energy for such a
praiseworthy object, the least than
can be expected of the men will be a
hearty response
Don't change II into minute frac-
tons or else 20 .ay lose the smile
that goes with e..ll donation.
Tag day will set the town crazy
day of fun. So prepare to enter in
to it with all the jOyOusness of your
nature, and help the ladies to make
it a great success.
The tag will be a badge of honor
and no person can afford to be with
out one. 1t will be cheap and it will
be fun.

MITCHELL is CHOSEN A
DELEGATE TO CHICAGO
To- Represent the Third
District.

Postmaster Frank P. Mitchell has
been selected a member of the dele
cation from the Third Congressional
district to the National Republican
convention at Chicago. The district
convention assembled at Marshall
vile and was a very harmonious oc-
casion, attended by all of the lead
ing republicans Of the district, among
them Postmaster Mitchell, of Ameri-
Gus and Postmaster Boatright of Cor
dele, both administration men and
elected delegates. 1t is said that the
little handful of FOrakerites, repre-
sented by few disgruntled Americus
negroes, bolted the convention when
they saw that the other forces were
overwhelmingly in the majority. The
meeting, as stated, represented the
larger and better element of the Third
district republicans and the delegates
named by the administration forces
will represent the district in the Chi
cagO convention of course.

REORGANIZATION
BOARD OF TRADE
All Citizens Welcomed To-
morrow Night.

For the purpose of reorganizing
along the lines of more equitable
division of membership dues, the Am
ericus Board of Trade will meet to-
morrow night at o'clock at the
City Hall. Not only is there ex-
pected to be a large attendance of
members, but other business men
and citizens are also heartily inyit-
ed to be present and participate. in
the deliberations.
The prospOsed basis of dues is
that manufacturers wholesalers, rail
roads, express companies and banks
will pay $50 per year, retail mer-
chants $15, and professional and
business men S.. 1t is believed that
in the basis named, that membership
among the business men and progress
siNe citizens of Americus will be
Practically unap'mOus.
The S. rate will be payable quar-
terly, $1.25 every three months. This
will make the payments easy
1t is expected that steps will also
be taken tomorrow night for securing
a permanent office in a central part
of the city, which will be used as a
place of meeting and where exhibits
of the product Of every factory in
Americus will be made, and also ex-
hibits of every product of the soil
of Sumter county.

STOPPED THE POLL IN
LESS THAN AN HOUR

A good story was told in political
circles yesterday at the expense of a
couple of ardent Smith supporters,
who started out Saturday night to
poll the crowd" but came to an
abrupt halt within an hour. Entering
one of the drug stores here they
pooled" two or three voters present,
but the result was not to their liking
and they went upon the streets again.
A half hour later one of the pair came
dejectedly and took a seat The pro-
prietor asked him regarding the sue
cess of the poll. "The trouble was,
he answered, I'VE found so blamed
many Brown men and so few for
Smith that we decided to stop, and
may take the poll some other time. .
1t was a fiat failure for the two en-
thusiasts, who will not be likely to
take another poll in Americus.

TRIBUTE TO HEROES IS
PAID IN AMERICUS
Exercises on Sunday We're
Impressive.

While Memorial Day in Americus
was marred by unpropitious weather,
storm deterring hundreds of citizens
from attending, the exercises were
beautiful and deeply impressive, and
grander tribute was never paid here
to the Lost Cause.
The exercises were held Sunday af-
ternOOn at First Baptist church.
The program, originally, was to
have the speaking at the cemetery,
as heretofore, but after noon Sunday
change was deemed necessary on
account of the weather.
Hundreds of citizens, not aware of
the proposed change, had already as
sembled at the cemetery and thus
missed the eloquent and mastery adj
dress of Hon. W. A. COyington, con-
ceeded by the large audience at the
church one of the finest ever deliver
ed here.
The speaker was introduced in
graceful manner by Col. ]. R. Will
liams, and for nearly an hour held
the Wrapt attention of the as
semblage.
At all times a very forceful and
convincing speaker Mr.. Covington
surpassed himself upon this occasion,
his theme, the Confederate soldier
and the cause for which he contended
as never did any other hero on bat
tletiel, lending inspiration.
His flights Of impassioned elo-
quence held the audience spellbound.
The address, throughout was a
great tribute to the old South and
her valiant SONS, glorious in defeat as
they ever were in victory.
The musical program was under
management of the Americus Choral
Society, directed by Miss Annie May
Bell, and many beautiful anthems
were rendered.
Camp Sumter turned out it's full
strength of the old soldiers of the
sixties, who marched to the church
and thence to the cemetery, where
the soldiers graves were decorated
and the usual salute fired by the
Americus Light Infantry.
At the conclusion of the exercises
Mrs. J. E. Mathis, president of the U.
D. c., distributed crosses of honor to
veterans who had not already had
this coveted treasure given them.

is SHUT OUT
BY REASON OF FLOOD
Trains Delayed and Wires
All Down.

Americus was cut off yesterday from
the outer world TO great extent, as a
result of the tOrrential rains Sunday
night and yesterday morning. All
trains due here were hours late and
several did not come at all, sched-
ules being annulled.
No mails reached the city until in
the afternoon, telegraph wires were
down at many points and all com
munication cut off.
No train on the Central reached Am
ericus from Macon or Atlanta for
nearly thirty hours.
While the rainstOrm here was fierce
accompanied by spectacular electric
storm, the damage wrought was moi
so great as at other places. The fields
here were washed, and damage done
the young crops.
Two inches of rain, by actual meas
urement, fell here yesterday.
Both the Central and Seaboard were
put out Of business for the time as
the result of damage to tracks, the
Central suffering most.
The morning Seaboard train, 7s
from Savannah, was turned back al
Americus and did not attempt to
get through to Montgomery on ac-
count OF washouts at Pittsyiew, Ala
Several eastbound trains were held
up for several hours at that point
SeabOard passenger train, 72, due
in Americus at noon, arrived several
hours late, having to use the Cen
trails track via HurtsborO.
Freight schedules were seriously
delayed by the washouts. Repairs
were made during the day and sched-
ules resumed in the afternoon.
From the north, all Central trains
were shut out for thirty hours.
The mail trains due at 10:40 Sun.
day night and $50 yesterday morn
ing did not leave Macon at all, both
schedules being annulled. The $3.50
morning train brings the bulk of the
daily mail to Americus, and the delay
proved an inconvenience.
The delay was caused by a serious
break at Powersville, just north ot
Fort Valley, where the track was I'M
dermined. NOrthbOund trains from
Americus were held up there until
repairs were made later.
The first train arriving from Ma
con and Atlanta, since Sunday noon
came in last night.
While the tOrrential rain did great
damage to railway tracks and other
wise, no loss of life resulted. The
storm was greatest at points north
and. west of Americus. So far as
known there was nothing like cy-
clone at any point.
The rain here was probably the
hardest one this year.

meantime a challenge will be issued
