FOUND AN OLD TWENTY
LOST SIX YEARS AGO
Citizen Here Has Excellent
Luck.

Perhaps the luckiest man in Ameri-
Gus yesterday was Forsyth street
merchant. The weather without was
bright all right, but his trade palace
was deserted for the time. The crowd
came not to buy of his wares, so
temptingly displayed, and the corps OF
clerks with time hanging heavily upon
their hands wondered when the base
ball season would open. In the office
the man whose name hangs over the
front door sat and pondered In
his lap was a bunch of mildewed ac-
counts and frost-bitten notes which
the makers had promised several
years ago to settle They had not
done so, and the proprietor was look
ing them over, swearingly. Sudden
ly from their folds dropped a bill. AS
the hungry hawk dives for the fuzzy
chicklet, so did he dive for that f1ut-
tering bill. 1t was an old-styled twen4
ty, but good as gold The examina-
ton of the old notes ceased instantly,
and the finder went forth into the
highways and buyways to make merry
with other sons of man who there do
congregate. How the old bill got
into the batch of bills he knew not
and cared not The lost had been
found, and he rejoiced and made ex-
ceeding glad

AMERICUS in FAVOR OF
LEAGUE OF a TOWNS
When Season of Baseball
Begins.

Americus ballomaniacs are sitting
up and taking notice as the date of
action balletically approaches, and
favors the organization of a league
made up of clubs representing several
of the larger towns in this immediate
section.
Ball players and lovers of the sport
here generally are willing to get in
on that proposition.
The sad experience of two seasons
agone precludes the idea of large
league, made up of towns widely scat
cred, thus increasing the cost of trans
portation.
While only suggestions are being
made at present, the plan most favor
ed here would be a league composed
of Albany, Cordele, Americus, Dawson
or Eufaula, either four or five good
towns located very near together.
All of these towns could support a
team, made up largely of the best
home talent, combined with few
semi professionals. Such teams would
play good ball, and the cost of main
tenance would not be very consider
able
Local fans would be glad to hear
from those in the towns mentioned
upon the line of organization suggest

DRUGGISTS TO MAKE A
TEST OF THE LAWS
Alleged to Affect Sale of
Drugs.

Many druggists will test the con-
struction of the prohibition law, which
it is claimed by the officers, prevents
the sale of Jamaica ginger in liquid
form, vanilla, lemO extract, many
patent medicines and any drug which
contains enough alcohol to cause in
toXicatiOn if drunk to excess.
Four prominent druggists of the
state have been put forward to make
a test case.
In Atlanta the differences of opin-
ion between Broyles, City Attorney
Mayson and Chief Jennings and the
local druggists as to the application
of the state prohibition law to alco-
holic medicines have just been set
tied.
1t was decided that Jamaica ginger,
which was the chief bone of conten-
ton, will be sold hereafter only in
very small quantities, not sufficient
to intoxicate, and that no patent med
icine will be sold which contain a
sufficient amount of alcohol to re-
quire United States liquor license.
No cases have been made in Ameri-
Gus growing out of the sale of any
medicines of the above named kind,
SO far as known.

SALES OF GUANO NOT
LARGE AS LAST YEAR
In OOiniOn of Fertilizer
Dealers.

Americus, as a distributing point
for commercial fertilizer, is not hand
ling the volume of trade she had last
season, to judge by the number of
wagons hauling the stuff to the coun-
try. And this story is repeated. In
ether towns of the state, evidencing
a decreased cotton acreage. Basing
their opinion on the short sales of
fertilizers as reported by the State
Department of Agriculture, fertilizer
men generally state in their opinion
the Georgia cotton acreage will be
reduced this year from 15 to 20 per
cent. They further express the be-
lief that there will be a proportionate
reduction in the amount of cotton to
be planted in other sections of the
South.

HOLDERS OF CENTRAL
BONDS TO SUE ROAD
AmeriCus Owners Will Like
Iy Join in.

Holders of second and third in
in Americus have been asked to join
in the suit with the majority of the
owners of these bonds will soon insti-
tute against the road for the purpose
of securing the full dividend for the
last fiscal year.
Each of the three classes of income
bonds of the road is awarded a diyi-
dend when earned" At the last an
nual meeting of the directors, held
in August, the full dividend was
awarded only to the firsts, a part on
the second and none at all for the
thirds.
Soon after the action Of the direc-
tors, which was not unexpected, a
majority of the holders of the second
and third incomes placed their bonds
in the hands of the two New York
trust companies who were trustees
under the mortgage deed. This step
was taken after unavailing efforts had
oeen made to induce the owners of
the road, Messrs. Oakley and Thorne,
o right the alleged wrong. 1t was
9laimed that the earnings of the
can Steamship Company should be
rned into the roads earnings, in
cad of being absorbed by the officers
the company, as alleged. Differ
,nces in the method of bookkeeping
we're sufficient, combined with the
earnings of the steamship company,
to provide the full per cent dividend
all around, it was asserted The road
subsequently passes into the control
of E. H. Hartman.
All other plans having failed, it is
said now that suit will be brought, so
that the question of the roads earn
ings can be determined in open
court
While the holdings of the second
and third income bonds in Americus
are not large, the holders are much
interested in the outcome of the suit,
and will no doubt lend their full sup
port to the movement. The assess
ments are only fraction of the inter
est which will be obtained in case the
suit is successful. OF the second in
come bonds there are $7,000,000 out
standing and of the thirds $4,0OO,OO0

EARLE WILL MARRY
HIS "AFFINITY.
Only Waiting for Wife to
Get Divorce.

PARIS, Jan. 0-(SpeciaD Friends
of Mr.. and Mrs Ferdinand Earle
expressed no surprise when informed
today of the approaching marriage of
the former with his affinity" The
marriage was expected to take place
as soon as Mrs Earle obtains her
divorce suit for which is now pend
ing in the French courts. It was
with view to expediting matters
that Earle recently came to Paris.
While here Earle was a daily caller
at the home of his father-in-law,
where his wife has been living since
her return from America. With num-
erous friends among the artists in
the Latin Quarter, Earle discussed
his martial relations. He is quoted as
saying:
MY wife and l, while remaining
the best of friends, had decided on
divorce long before I met the young
woman | am going to marry"
An intimate friend says that Earle
is now travelling in Italy His "afin-
ity'' also is on the continent some
where, travelling with her father. The
marriage probably will be celebrated
in England, where a special license is
easily obtainable.
Earle is one of the kindest heart
ed men in the world" says this
friend but he is a philosophical ego
tist. He is still immensely fond of
his wife and her family, and also is
deeply attached to their child Those
who know Earle intimately are ask
ing themselves whether he has found
his affinity even now Earle's faith
er-in-law, Fischbacher, also is on ex-
cellent terms. with his son-in-law, and
will be the first to wish him all hap
piness in his new venture

SYRIAN WEDDING AND
IT'S QUEER CUSTOMS
Includes Three Days ST.
IenCe by Bride.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Jan. 30
(SpeciaD For three days Lizzie Her.
ra, as Assyrian bride, surrounded by
hundreds of relatives and friends, has
not spoken a word.
Bedecked in her bridal gown of blue
satin brought from far-off Assyria,
she sits like a throned queen, an at
tendant on either side, receiving her
guests, but saying nothing. Silence
for three days after the wedding is
one of the laws of the Assyrian reli-
gion.
The wedding, one of the few Assy-
rian weddings that has ever been
held in Milwaukee, has been in pro-
gress for one week at the brides
home, on Fifth street All the strange
customs of the mother country have
been observed Assyrians from
Chicago, Escanaba Marinette, and
other cities came to Milwaukee for
the ceremony. Over 200 guests were
present.
The wedding ceremony, lasting
three quarters of an hour, was per-
formed by an Assyrian Catholic priest
from Chicago. For three days before
the ceremony the women of the we'd
ding party, with the bride, stayed in
one house, smoking, dancing, talk
ing.
In another house were the men,
also smoking and dancing, Accord
ing to the Assyrian custom, they
must not mingle. In each house
there was feasting and merry-making.
Then came the weird Assyrian Gus
tom of the handkerchief throwing. Be
fore she could be married Lizze Her
ra, the bride, must throw her hand
kerchief, filled with flowers, to the
ceiling. And she must continue
throwing it until it clings to the
ceiling of the room. And all this
time the guests were shoWering her
with flowers, rice and confetti.
Again and again and again she
threw the bit of linen, only to see
it flutter to the floor. When it fin
ally did remain -futtering from the
ceiling the bride quietly tainted from
the exertion and anxiety But she was
soon revived, and the ceremony went
on.

NO DELAY IN SETTLING
CLAIMS BY ROADS
Shippers Get Prompt At
tentiOn Now.

Shippers in many sections of the
state have noted a remarkable prompt
ness on the part of the railroads in
settling claims passed on by the
Railroad Commission which have ac-
crued since Aug. %, 1907, when the
new Railroad Commission law be-
came effective. The new Railroad
Commission has adopted the policy
of iGsning an order directing the pay
ment of all approved claims, and
failure on the part of a railroad COM
pany to comply with such order would
subject it to the danger of the penalty
of $500 for each day that it refused
obedience. The railroads are not
anxious to experiment with this
accunulatiye penalty feature of the
new law, and it is believed they will
fight shy of it until the last ditch.
