JEWELRY AUCTION
SALE LAUNCHED
friCker'S Attracted Repre-:
sentative Audience.

Bargains in jewelry delighted 6
large crowd of buyers at the auction
sale of Fricker & Bro, last night. Dia.
monds, watches, silverware and other
valuable articles were offered and the
prices at which they went proved that
the firms determination to cut down
stock has no strings tied to it.
AS was to be expected from such
a sale, the audience to which Mr.. John
H Raven, the auctioneer, talked, was
composed of representative ladies and
gentlemen of the city who were at
treated by the announcement in the
Times Recorder Sunday Even when
expensive jewelry was going at the
greatest sacrifices, Mr.. Fricker did
not lose his nerve. The high stand
ing of the firm was guarantee
that everything promised would be
made good.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
there will be a special auction sale
for ladies only. Chairs will be pro-
vided for all. An invitation is ex-
tended to all the ladies, whether they
intend to purchase or not. The sale
will continue throughout the week, be-
ginning at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
and at o'clock at night.
AT the auction yesterday afternoon
a handsome-cut glass bowl was award
ed to Mrs E. j. McGehee as the hold
er of the lucky number. At night a
handsome gift clock was the award
made to the holder of the proper cou-
pom. Every lady who comes to the
sale is given a ticket, which is good
for every award during the week.

Mr.. WarIiCk Has Returned

superb stock, but under trying cir
cumstances from a weather stand
point Snow covered Gotham's streets
to a depth of nine inches on the
level, and to a man from the genial
sunny South, who never sees snow
except in the north, this was enough
to deter even the most strenuous of
buyers. But not him, as attested by
the goods already arriving here.

DO NOT KNOW WHAT
CAUSES SICKNESS
Modern People Have Many Names for Same
Diseases, According to New Belief

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is be-
coming widely discussed since L. T.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat of life
and all health dependent upon it,
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
markable success in the sale of his
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: Il am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such a record
wherever l have introduced it. My
answer always is, because it restores
the stomach to a normal condition
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them They are
just half-Sick most of the time. They
don't know really what is the matter
with them. [ have talked with thou
sands during the past two years, and
few knew indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver COM
plant, some constipation, or heart
or lung trouble Many had been
treated, as they called it, for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run
down. or tired all the time, or no
appetite
Il know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble, and nothing else. My

COTTON WAS SOLD TO
A FIRM IN AUGUSTA
Burned Bales Brought Big
Bidding.

Americus was the Mecca yester-
day of mill men and others who came
to bid upon the cotton bales, partly
burned or otherwise damaged, in the
recent compress fire here. Among
those bidding were buyers from Hous-
ton, Texas, Birmingham, Atlanta,
Augusta, Macon, Athens and Colum-
bus, while Americus bidders were in
the field as we'll. There were about
1872 of these damaged bales, and
for the round lot sealed bids in lump
sum were submitted. These bids were
opened at II o'clock, sharp, by Mr..
Pollock, representing the insurance e
companies for whose account the cot
ton was sold, and the bid of Lesser
& Clark Of Augusta, accepted This
firm bid $3,775 for the round lot,
which was considered a very fair
price. The 1872 bales will be shipped
to Augusta and the burned portions
of the bales picked over and the cot
ton thus made merchantable. The
removal of this cotton will leave moth
ing but the towering smokestack,
standing like a grim sentinel, to
mark the scene of the most disastrous
fire Americus has ever witnessed.

Among more recent converts to Mr.
Coopers beliefs is Mr.. Edgar l.. Kinds,
living at Tappan Street, Everett,
Mass. Mr.. Kinds has this to say on
the subject:
Il have suffered with stomach
trouble for eight years. | was not
sick enough to be in bed, but just

trouble was that | always left tired,

BOLD ATTEMPT TO WRECK CENTRAL
TRAIN AT MUCKALEE BRIDGE

! where the tie had been placed.
Chief Feagin jumped from the en-
gine and caught him.
Negro Arrested
The negro, John Hodges, made ne
attempt to escape He explained his
presence there by saying he was
waiting for all the trains to pass be-
fore crossing the bridge, though about
forty minutes elapsed between the
arrival of the two trains at the
trestIe
When asked about the crosstie, he
declared he had not put it on the
track though he confessed to Chief
Feagin that he say the tie on the
trestle long before the train struck
it.
Hodges worked for the Central as
section hand until last Saturday, when
he was discharged 1t is the opinion
of those of the pursuing posse that
the negro might have put the tie there
to wreck the train in a spirit of re-
venge for having been discharged
Conflicting Stories
When asked about the negro who
ran away from the trestle when the
engine struck the tie, Hodges de
clared no one but himself had been
about the scene during the past hour
Conductor Smith, the engineer and
others stated to Chief Feagin that they
plainly saw a negro run away. This
does not tally with Hodges story, he
declaring no one had been about the
trestle as he could easily have seen
them, having been there so long.
This conflicting statement, his lott
ering so long, at the bridge, and the
fact of his recent discharge; points
suspicion strongly towards him. Con-
ductor Smith will come from Macon
today to take a look at Hodges, who is
held at the police barracks.
1t was a close call for the passen-
ger train and good work upon the
part of Chief Feagin, who suggested
pursuit with the yard engine.

BILL REQUIRES MAIL
BOX FOR RESIDENTS
Carriers in Free Delivery
Cities Delayed.

If a bill which is pending before
Congress becomes a law, residents OF
Americus will have to provide mail
boxes at their doors for the city car
riers to deposit in them letters and
packages. The bill requires that ten
ants of all houses having free city
delivery must provide proper recep-
tacles for mail at their doors Only
residences would be affected by the
law, stores and offices being served
as at present.
Under the present system, the post
mans whistle may not be promptly
answered, or the house may be tenn
porarily deserted. This entails a
wait of several minutes on the post
man iether way With a mail box at
hand, the rounds could shortened
very appreciably.
One of the arguments in favor OF
the proposed law is that the eight
hour schedule under which carriers
work hardly gives time for making the
requisite number of rounds. The new
law would tend to restrict the number
of carriers in the larger cities, while
being in many ways more convenient,
both for the residents and for the
carriers.

SHERIFF BELL IS NOT

Has Enough of Office and
Will Retire.

Sheriff e. L. Bell will not be can

portant office
This announcement will come as a
surprise to the people of Americus, oil
the county and the public generally
as he was regarded not only as can
didate but an easy winner, as he has
no opposition in the race
This fact renders his retirement all
the more surprising.
Sheriff Bell has been in that office
either as sheriff or deputy, for twelve
years, and no county in Georgia has
a more efficient officer.
Genial and straightforward, a
most capable and conscientious off1c-
ial, the people of Sumter have always
delighted to honor him, and would
continue to do so.
But he desires now, after long years
of service, to retire from Office and
devote his time to his farming inter-
ests in this county. Sheriff Bell last
night handed the Times Recorder the
following card for publication.
ITO the People of Sumter, who
