BOARD OF TRADE IN
FINE CONDITION
Numerically and Financially
at the Best.

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Americus Board of Trade
was held Tuesday night.
1t was decided to have printed 5000
leaflets, the copy for which was read
by Secretary Crockett These leaf
lets will be distributed among the
members to be enclosed in correspon-
dence.
The membership of the Board of
Trade was announced to be 1866,
the high water mark. A balance in
bank of over $4OO was reported, which
is the largest sum so far available
for the work
On motion it was decided to petit
ton the County Commissioners to
improve the road leading east from
Americus to Browns Mills. This
road, it was stated, had been worked
to a point within two or three miles
of Americus, but work had then been
stopped, leaving the most important
part of the road and that the most
travelled, in very poor condition. 1t
is sought to remedy this condition.

NO SESSION OF COURT
WILL BE HELD HERE
Relief From this Burden is
Granted.

There will be no quarterly session
of the City Court of Americus next
week, and all business not other
wise disposed of at the calling of the
appearance docket will go over to
the next regular term convening in
September. This announcement was
made yesterday by Judge Crisp, and
is the result of a very general re-
quest upon the part of members of
the bar, farmers and others inter-
ested. There is really little bust
ness docketed for the session and
only one prisoner in Jail to be tried
upon misdemeanor charge, which
may be disposed of otherwise. Sup
erior court has just adjourned, many
members of the bar desired leave of
absence to go to Atlanta next week,
the farmers are exceedingly busy,
and for these good reasons there
will be no jury trials but only such
business as can be disposed of at
chambers. Jurors drawn to serve
for the two weeks were thus notified
yesterday.

STORY OF DEFEAT is
TOLD BY THE TEAM
Placed Upon Shoulders of
Umpire.

The result of the game between
Americus and Dawson, played upon
the latter's grounds, was the subject
of general discussion in local ball
dom yesterday when members of
the team told the story. The criti-
cism of the umpire was exceedingly
severe, and to his decisions in the
first two innings was attributed the
cause for the rocky playing that fol-
lowed. Seeing that they had no
chance to win, the visiting team
played indifferently and allowed the
other fellows to pile up as many
runs the they pleased, the farce
ending in the eighth DaWson's s
team contained several excellent
players, but Notwithstanding that fact
the Americus boys declare they
could have held them down to even
playing but for the unjust Judge"
in the role of umpire.

TIE
General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a 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 SIENNA is given
the preference by the WeI-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for said
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Railroad Commission Revised.

1t is believed that in conformity
with Mr. Browns platform the pres
ent railroad commission act will be
wiped out in it's entirety and a new
one with some of the features of both
the old and the new laws drafted in
to it. 1t will also cut down the size
of the commission from five to three
members.
Just how far this coming session
of the Legislature will be friendly to
Gov. Smith remains to be seen. That
certain reform measures were driven
through last session is known, and
with the crumbling of Gov. Smiths
political power it is a question as to
just how far this next session can be
controlled.
Already there is talk of Gov. Smith
opposing Mr.. Brown two years hence,
but just how much fact there is in it,
no one can say. Gov. Smiths state
ment issued the day following the
primary, is taken by many to mean
that he will do so. Still those close
to him say he is eager to retire from

GOSSIP OF CHANGES
IN ADMINISTRATION
Will Legislature be Friend
Iy to Brown?

ATLANTA, June 10.-Always fol-
lowing an upheaval in state admin
istration speculation as to the fu-
ture runs riot. The election of
Joseph M. Brown so upset the poll
tical equation in Georgia that neither
administration nor the anti-adminis-
tratiOn forces have quite got their
bearings yet.
Joseph NJ. Brown does not become
Governor of Georgia until the Satur-
day following the fourth Wednesday
in June, 1909, but already specula-
ton is rife as to things that he will
probably do to the Capitol forces. 1t
is speculation, pure and simple now,
because Mr. Brown isn't saying d
word about it. and probably wont for
months to come.
AS a matter of fact there is plenty
of present work to engage Mr.. Brown
in the slate for the Denver conven-
ton, the coming state convention and
similar matters. 1t is believed that
the new platform will be drafted
along more conservative lines, but
that it will expunge reforms altogeth-
er is improbable.
Few Changes Talked Of.
1t is hardly probable that even af-
ter he becomes Georgia's chief ex-
ecutive Mr. Brown will make any i'm
portant changes in the Offices over
which he has the appointing power.
There is some talk to the effect that
Pension Commissioner j. w. Lindsey
may be replaced as he was in some
ways extensively partisan This, how
ever, is mere gossip and may not have
the shadow of substance. 1t is ad-
mitted that Capt. Lindsey has made
an efficient official.
Adjt General Scott will not be dis
turbed, as he took no part in the cam
paign, and is the united choice of the
militia of the state
Great interest centers in the COM
ing session of the Legislature, as
it is incumbent on Gov. Smith to give
his reasons for dismissing Mr.. Brown
as railroad commissioner. Just what
this situation will uncover is profile
matical but that a lively time is sure
every one agrees. 1t is not believed
that Mr.. Brown will press the matter
as he doubtless feels that he has had
full vindication at the hands of the
people of the state. But is is a ques-
tfon as to whether or not his friends
in the Legislature will allow it to
drop. 1t is known that bill has
been prepared to pay Mr.. Brown a
salary for the six months Intervening
from the date of his dismissal to the
time his term would have legally ex-
pired
