WORKING ON LISTS FOR
THE STATE ELECTION
Registration in Sumter Was
Heavy.

That large vote is going to be
polled in Sumter in the State elec-
ton next Wednesday is evidenced by
the unusually large number of voters
thus registered and qualified. The
number of registered voters in the
county is about $500 of which prob
ably 500 are colored voters. The
board of registrars has been going
over the list for two weeks past,
culling therefrom the names of any
disqualified by cause, and will doubt
less strike therefrom a large num-
Der for non-payment of taxes or
other reasons. The negro vote will
probably be larger in this election
than otherwise, due to their opposi-
tion to the disfranchisement act AS
ide from this, many of them will vote
the straight democratic ticket for the
entire list of nominees, it is said

GUILTY Is VERDICT IN
THE CASE OF CLARK
Charged With Selling Whis-
key Here.

The trial of Emmett Clark, charged
with violation of the prohibition law
in the alleged sale of whiskey at his
home here, was concluded in the City
Court yesterday afternoon, the jury
returning verdict of guilty. Judge
Crisp will sentence Clark this morn
ing at 10 O'clock, he announced. The
trial of the case was attended with
considerable interest and there was
much speculation as to the result
The defendant was charged with sell
ing liquor here on Sunday morning
two weeks ago, and the evidence ad-
duced at the trial seemed most con-
elusive. The defendant was represent
ed by J. B. Hudson, Esq, while Solic-
itor Zack Childers of the City Court
conducted the case of the State.

WANTS CREAMERY TO
PAY BIG DIVIDENDS
Organizer of Company Ur-
geS More Cows.

Mr.. Lester Williams, who organiz-
ed the Americus Creamery, arrived
yesterday from Chicago, and will
spend a few days here to aid in get
ting the local plant started off in gooa
style.
Since leaving Americus some four
weeks ago, Mr. Williams has been at
work in Nebraska and western IIli-
nois, doing the same kind of work
which he did here He intends now
to spend the next few weeks in Geor-
gia. having already number of calls
from towns and communities which
desire creameries.
While here it will be the aim of Mr..
Williams to get the stockholders to
provide the full quota of cows prom
ised and also to interest farmers Iiv-
ing near Americus in the advantages
to be obtained by sending their milk
to the creamery, and selling their but
ter on the cooperative plan under
which the plant is operated Before
he leaves he expects to interest a
large number of COW owners in the
proposition, and see the local cream
cry turning out hundreds of pounds
of butter weekly
Routes will be established under
the experienced direction of Mr.. Will
liams, which will be at the service of
every. farmer living along the way.
Stockholders will of course have a
vital interest in furnishing as much
milk as possible, and will need no
urging.
This is a first class plant" said
Mr.. Williams yesterday But it
cant succeed unless there is milk t.
work on. | want to see the creamery
here paying big dividends, and with
that end in view l will urge the
stockholders to get as many COWS as
possible
Conditions are much worse up
north in the dairy business. The
long drought has dried up the grass
and the cows are less productive, only
about half of the normal supply be-
ing obtained. The falling off has
been recorded within the last sixty
days Down here the grass is green
and food more abundant.
This morning | will meet manager
Walker, of the Americus creamery
and we will get to work at once on
the milk supply question

SHOOFLY is COMING ON
TIME AS BEFORE
No Change of Schedule is
Needed.

Americus will continue to hear the
morning buzz of the ''shoofly'' train
as at present, as there will be no
change in the schedule as contem-
plated in the appeal made by citi-
zens of Abbeville, Rochelle and
other towns between Helena and Am
ericus This petition to the Railroad
Commission asked that the Seaboard
shoofly train, now reaching Americus
at $40 in the morning, be held at
Helena 80 minutes or until the arri-
val of the Southern train from
Atlanta with mail for these towns
But the action was unnecessary, as
the Southern is going to change its
schedule instead, and the shoofly will
fit to Americus on the usual sched-
ule. The Southern train which now
leaves Atlanta at 12::40 a. M, will
leave at II p. m., and instead of ar
rivng i'll Helena at 5;45 will arrive at
4:10 a. m. AS the Seaboard does
not leave Helena until $40 this will
allow one hours margin at Helena

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
1VA ST., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
GAS [ have found Peruna blessing
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which 1 suffered from for a
number of years, I am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as / suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up so that j was usually
troubled with headache, and although
tried many so-called remedies, moth

Bond Issues In Sight

1t is hardly probable, though, that
another year will be allowed to pass
without further bond issue for street
paving and public school purposes. At
the election early last year $4,000
of bonds for street paving and $25,000
for new school buildings We're au-
thorized. 1t may be that another
election on the same lines will be
necessary. The opinion is general
that the business section of the city
must be paved if Americus is to
keep abreast of other cities of its
size, or even less population, and
the necessity for additional school fac
ilities is so glaringly apparent as
to need no comment
1t is a source of congratulations
that Americus is in position where
it can readily issue the required
$4,000 bonds for such purposes and
still be far below the constitutional
limitation as to its bonded indebted
ness The thanks of the public are
undoubtedly due the careful busi-
ness-like administration that has
kept conditions as they are.

Hearst Says He Will Get Even
With the President After He
Leaves the White House for
His Former Actions

Denver, Oct. lin a speech con-
suming less than 30 minutes, William
R. Hearst, chairman of the Indepen-
dence party national committee, last
night renewed his charges against
Senator Foraker of Ohio and Governor
Charles n. Haskell of Oklahoma, and
read additional letters and affidavits
bearing upon the charges.
The two letters addressed to Sena-
tor Foraker and signed by John D.
Archbold of the Standard Oil company.
in which were inclosed certificates of
deposit for $4,000 and $4,000. respec-
lively, each bearing date 1900, We're
read In this connection Mr.. Hearst
referred to the claim of Senator For
aker that he (Hearst) had not made
public any of the letters which would
prove Foraker's innocence. He declar-
ed he had no such letters in his col
lection.
Mr.. Hearst paid his respects to
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan
and compared the action of the presi'
dent in repudiating Senator Foraker
with that of Mr.. Bryan, who, he said
was willing to take the responsibility
of Governor Haskelrs connection with
the democratic national committee.
Resuming his comments on Presi
dent Roosevelt, Mr.. Hearst said it was
not true that he and the president
have altered our opinions of each
other and are working now hand in
hand as the democrats charged.

and have every reason to dislike him
When | was running for governor OF
New York, Mr.. Roosevelt sent his
present mouthpiece, Tweed's defender
into New York to say what was false
about me and what Mr.. Roosevelt
knew to be false. If ever I have an
opportunity to even things up with
Mr. Roosevelt after he has ceased to
be president, l shall do SO with partic-
ular satisfaction.
"As the Foraker-Haskell contro-
versy is still raging in the press and
in the daily bulletins from the White

Commoner, l am going to take one
final fling at the situation.
THE Standard Oil was bound to
take revenge upon the present admin
istration for the prosecution institut-
ed against it and the fine imposed
upon it.

the Standard Oil might possibly make
improper overtures to the democratic
party. No sooner had the suspicion
been formed than along comes the
