RALLY THIS MORNING
IN INTEREST OF ROADS
Many Counties of State to
Employ COnviCtS

Sumter county, in the interest of
good roads, will doubtless be repre-
sented by one or more members of
the board of county commissioners at
the convention called by the State
Prison Commission to assemble in
the House of Representatives in At
lanta at 10 o'clock this morning.
This meeting. while informal will
be more or less official in character
1t is called as a result of the recent
action of the General Assembly in
apportioning the convicts among the
counties of the state for working their
public roads.
The convicts will still be under di-
rect control of the Prison Commits
sion, which will frame the regula-
tions under which the counties will
have to work them.
1t is expected, therefore, that the
commission will outline it's policy at
this meeting which will be attended
by county commissioners and others
who have to deal with the question of
roads
Some more definite idea will be OBJ
tanned of the extent of the demand to
be made by the counties for conyicts.
The indications are that this demand
will considerably exceed the supply,
the result of which will be to bring
final termination to the lease system.
The continuance of the lease is con-
ditional wholly upon the counties not
taking up all of the available convicts.
So far about thirty counties have been
heard from and these have asked for
about 1000 convicts, or two-fifths of
the entire number of which the state
will dispose.
Americus needs some of these con-
victs upon its streets, and the city
should be represented there as we'll.

SUMTER GAVE BRYAN
BIG LEAD IN ELECTION
Plurality Over the Enemy
Is 362

sumter county gave a plurality of
3b2 votes over the combined forces of
the enemy in the election on Tuesday.
Inc vote of the county was consoli-
dated yesterday morning and this re-
suit fairly satisfactory in a measure,
was announced.
Bryan's total vote in Sumter coun-
ty was S78.
The total vote for Bill Taft here
was 476.
Tom Watson's remnant raked up
three dozen votes for him, while one
chaplin received a mighty total of four
whole votes
The combined strength of the en-
emies of Democracy was SIG against
StS for Bryan, thus making his plu-
rality over all 362 votes. This hould
have been doubled, OF even trebled, as
would have been the case had the vot-
ers turned out.
The vote on the service pension
bill was I'll for it and 4S2 against it..
The other amendment was likewise
ratified here
COngressman-El Dudley M
Hughes led the entire ticket by twen-
ty votes, receiving a total of S98 or
Just score more than Bryan Thus.
less than 800 votes were polled out
Of total registration of 800 white
voters and $50 colored.
AS half the vote polled Tuesday
were negroes it is evident that many
of the white voters of the county did
not rally on election day

SCISSORS STILL

The scissors question has not been
agitated in the es-Recorder for

able, guaranteed, and ''free-to all"
shears the mes-Recorder is offering

S1.50 for three months subscription in
advance to the daily Times-Recorder.

East Elects President.

Bryan's chief strength seems to
have been in the Middle West There
is a degree of truth in the saying in
vogue here last night: The east has
elected a president
The returns from 355 congressional
districts give Republicans 1876, mis-
sing SO.
Indiana has given plurality to
the Republican candidate for presi-
dent. But has elected a Democratic
governor. Taft's plurality is estimat-
ed at fifteen thousand and that of
Marshall about eight thousand. The
latest returns credit Democrats with
six and Republicans with five mem
bers of congress, with two districts in
doubt and chances favoring the Dem
ocrats. Overstreet may be defeated
as the legislature is in doubt.
In Minnesota former Second AS
sistant Postmaster General McCleanry
was defeated for congress by Ham
mond, a Democrat, Governor John
sons majority is estimated at twenty
five thousand.
Out in Iowa the Democrats defeat
ed Congressman Hepburn.

THEFT OF POINTERS IS
FEARED BY HUNTERS
Pointer Dog Thieves Fear
ed By Them.

Americus sportsmen are now keep
ing an eagle eye upon their valuable
bird dogs as several of them have
been victims of dog thieves recently.
White men, even, have been accused
of stealing pointer dogs here and
shipping them away
The dogs seem to know that the
bird season is on, and in some in
stances will follow any man with a
gun, no matter who he may be, and
be glad of the chance.
There are numerous good dogs in
Americus and the owners are now
watching them closely. AS a usual
thing. bird dogs are so friendly that
they respond promptly to a kind word
md in this way many are stolen.
Some of them are taken away on the
rains
AS dogs can never get into the
property class, punishment for those
who steal dogs is rarely inflicted, and
even then it must be for some other
than dog stealing.

FINAL WORD ON
STREET RAIL WAY
Agreement Probable al
Council Tonight

The first regular session of the
City Council for November will be
held tonight
The most important matter sched-
uled is the consideration of the Dod-
son contract, which includes the
street railway and the lighting and
pumping contracts.
Under the agreement, a bond was
to be deposited to protect the city,
but it is understood that the company
desires to make it cash deposit, as
the penalty bond was so expensive
1t is likely that President Walker
will explain to the Council in de-
tail the work done and the progress
made in every line He believes that
the showing the company can make
will convince the City Council and
the people of the city that the COM
pany is going ahead with the contract,
and that considerable sums have al
ready been spent on the light plant,
machinery and the street railway
1t is expected that final agree
ment will be reached tonight, under
which the company will proceed with
its work as rapidly as is possible and
expedient.
Another matter before the City
Council, provided the committee is
ready, will be the report on the de-
STABILITY of acquiring the Harold
residence for school purposes. At the
last meeting a committee was ap-
pointed to confer with similar COM
mittee from the Board of Education
regarding proposition for the sale of
the property to the city

CURES CATARRH
DOISon'S Pharmacy viii furnish the
Medicine Free ih Every Case Where
They Fail to Cure Catarrh.

Neglect or pessimism we believe is
the greatest enemy the public have
to contend with when applied to the
loss or recovery of health. Practical
ly every case of consumption might
have been cured if hope had been
maintained and proper treatment had
been resorted to at the first symp-
tom OF the disease. Until the advanc-
ed stage is reached, consumption is
durable. Catarrh is responsible, we
believe, for every case of consump-
ton. 1t is about Catarrh we want to
talk to you today, incidentally con-
sumption, since the two are so
closely allied.
We have medicine made from the
prescription of one of the most skill
ed catarrh specialists known. This
madicfne has a record of SO per cent
OF cures, and we believe it is posi-
lively without an equal. We are so
satisfied that we are right, that we
will supply the medicine free in ev-
cry instance where it is used ac-
cording to directions for a reasonable
length of time. and fails to cure and
give satisfaction in every particular.
We want everyone in Americus to
try this medicine at our risk. There
are no conditions or formality at
tached to our offer We put the user
under no obligation to us whatever.
The medicine we want you to try
is ReXall Muco-Tone. 1t is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat
of the trouble. 1t is carried by the
blood to every part of the system.
1t seeks out and destroys the germs
or parasites which cause Catarrh 1t
purifies and enriches the blood, tones
up the mucO-cells, soothes and heals
the tissues that were ravaged by
the catarrhal parasite, and brings
about a condition of health and
strength that prevents the germs of
consumption from ever getting a
start Besides this, Rexall Muco-Tone
is a wonderful appetizer, digestive
aid and flesh builder It's good eff
fects are felt from the very first
dose. 1t is one of the largest and
most satisfactory selling medicines
that We have ever had anything to do
with We know SO much of the great
good that is has done that we per-
sonally back it up with our repu-
tation and money, which fact should
be ample guarantee to satisfy any
body.
Rexall Muco-Tone comes, in two
sizes soc and $100. We urge you to
try it. Dodson's Pharmacy, corner

ANOTHER DAY ADDS TO
WORK AT THE SHOPS
RunOred That Saturday
May Be Added.

The working hours at the Americus
shops of the Seaboard may be in
creased to some extent, rumor to
that effect gaining currency here
yesterday. For several months past
the reduced forces there have been
working on equally reduced time, the
schedule being five days of eight
hours each, or forty hours per week.
Recently considerable amount OF
repair work, which probably could
not conveniently be sent to the Jack
sonville shops. has accumulated here
and in order to handle this it is said
that the forces may be employed Sat
urdays hereafter. 1t is hoped that
the report of extended time is cor
rest, and that the shops forces may
soon be working the full week.

powerful organization by order of
General Nathan B. Forrest, certain

wrought such wicked wrongs under
the cloak of a stolen name, donned

CORNSTALKS TO MAKE IT

Washington, Oct. l6.-Chemists Of the
bureau of forestry and Of the bureau OF
plant industry Of the department Of ag.
riculture believe that they have solved
the problem of cheaper paper that viii
dispense altogether with the use of wood
fibre. The new material, from which
already five grades have successfully
been made, is the ordinary cornstalk,
and officials of the department yesterday
predicted that the new product, when
made on larger scale, will be at least
so per cent. cheaper than the print paper
now made from wood pulp.
The first practicable samples have been
manufactured by DIR. II. S. Bristol and
his assistants at the new laboratory on
Pennsylvania avenue.
DIR. Bristol has already carried his ex.
periments to the point Of making the
paper in five shades. One grade is dark
gray, thick and heavy like parchment,
and almost as tough as sheepskin. Then
there is a lighter shade OF the same char
acter, two shades Of yellow and one Of
white.
The white paper is made from the
hard outside shell Of the stalk and tae
yellow grades from the pith. The yellow
grades have much longer fibre, and
resemble paper made from linen rags or
from cotton.
Millions of tons Of cornstalks will be
available for this new manufacture, ac-
cording to the department of agricul.
ture.
