BEARD AND THE soUTH's VOTE

Hon. John S. Beard OF Pensacoia
has suggested that in the future the
southern states hold their 12O ele'tor-
al votes and give them to the party
that promises the most to the SOUTH
Mr.. Boards suggestion sounds like an
attempt to break up the solid south
bv first swallowing it whole. What
the use of giving the vote TO the par
~ that promises the greatest good TO
the south? What do promises amount
TO?

Mr.. Boards suggestion that the
solid south throw its vote TO the par
ty promising the greatest good to the
south is undoubtedly a sincere sug
gestion. But, promises. II would be
foolish, we think, to rest on promises
Either party would promise anything

Some of our big city dailies have
discarded the comic supplement- and
the fact of their doing so is very uni
versally commended. If the Sunday
newspaper were also to discard the
stories of sea serpents, monster boa

still further congratulation. If these
papers would look to the quality in
stead of the quantity of the matter
with which they are filled they would
be more appreciated.

GOING TO PAINT TOWER
AND CLEAN IT ALSO
Council Wakes to Necessity
Therefor.

To clean out the water tower-Yash
it thoroughly-and paint both the in
terror and exterior of the big tank all
at the same time is the intention of
the city council, and water consumers
will say amen" to the proposition
Orders for cleaning and painting the
tank were given at the meeting of
the solOns Thursday night, and came
none too soon. The interior of the
big tank doubtless needs cleansing
badly enough despite the washing
given it few months ago, and the
double painting of the can will tend to
preserve it. Unlike their thrifty pre-
decessors in Office, the solons made
no suggestions relative to selling ad-
vertising space upon the tower for
"Pink's Pills, Dog Biscuit, Jones
Worm Chaser" and other household
remedies, that might have been en-
blazoned upon the tower in letters
that could be seen miles away.

TO INVESTIGATE
LIGHT GO. EARNINGS
City Council Accepts Invi-
tatiOn of Attorney.

Before the bill of Alderman Child
ers providing for the reduction Of
the price of gas comes up for second
reading, the report of the Light Com
mite on the company's affairs will
be heard by the City Council. This
was decided on at Thursday nights
meeting of the City Council
Attorney w. P. Wallis, representing
the Americus Illuminating & Power
company, appeared before the City
Council and asked that a committee
be appointed to investigate the books
of the company with a view to finding
out if the earnings were exravagant.
The company offered to pay half the
expenses. of an expert accountant to
examine the books Mr. Wallis stat
ed that the earnings of the company
were about per cent on the bonds
and nothing on the stock. This he de-
clared was not an unreasonable profit
On motion, the Mayor was instruct
ed to name a committee for the pur-
pose of investigating the affairs of
the lighting company. After some
discussion, the matter was referred
to the Light Committee, composed of
Aldermen Furlow, Childers and All
len. No authority was given to en-
ploy an accountant, and the report
will have to be made back to Council
in order to get authority for this ex-
penditure. provided it is deemed nee
essary.

LIGHT OF THE FIREBUG
is APPLIED TO BARN
Buildings on SaIter Place
Burned.

Following upon the accidental burn
ing of the two barns on the Broad
hurst farm comes another disastrous
blaze, the burning of the barn on the
farm of Jesse Salter, west of Amer
icus, yesterday morning. Mr.. Salter
was aroused about midnight to see
both of his corncribs and barn in
flames, all three structures burning
briskly. His first thought was to save
his mules, and this he succeeded Ia.
doing not a moment two soon as the
roof of the barn fell in just as the an
fmals escaped. Mr.. Salter lost four
bales cotton, all of his hay, corn and
other provender, together with his
plantation tools, plows, etc. The loss
amounts to 81 1000 or $1,000 and is
as there was no insurance
upon the property Mr.. Salter thinks
the fire of incendiary origin although
he cannot suspect anyone of doing
him such great injury.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for catdrrh2

Shoulda list OF the ingredients Of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, ofWhatever school or nationality,
be would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was of
undoubted value in chronic catarrhal
diseases and had stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment Gf
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
LVLB. Peruna is composed ofthe most
eRcacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingred-
lent of Peruna has reputation Of its
owninthe cureofsome phase ofcatarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the C0TI-
BINED KN0WLEDGEOF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment Of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge Of the modern pharmacist; and
last butnot least, brings to the home the
vastand varied experience of DR.. Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies, and
in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronic oatarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. Itmay be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma.
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
Dr. Hartmans idea is that catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and OF
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied di-
rectly to the people, and no more be
charged for it than is necessary fol
the handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni.
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

AMERICUS AS SITE
WIRZ MONUMENT
1hOmaSviIIe Chapter U. D.
G. Goes on Record.

The Thomasville Chapter, T. d. c.,
was among those who voted to change
the site of the Wirz monument from
AndersOnville to Americus. The
Times Enterprise, in giving an ac-
count of the meeting said
The John B. Gordon Chapter of
the u. d. c., in Thomasville, at
meeting last week, by unanimous
vote decided that it was their desire
that the Wirz monument be placed
at Americus. This monument has
been arranged for by the Daughters
of Georgia as a testimonial of the
women of the south as to the valor
and bravery of that man who was
hanged by the United States govern
ment, just after the war, alleging
cruel and inhuman treatment to
prisoners at Andersonville 1t has
since been proven that he was blame
less and did what he was able to,
being so severely handicapped by
the poverty and inefficiency of the
Confederate government

BEGINNING OF WORK
Will Start Upon Library
Monday.

1t is expected that actual work up
on the handsome Carnegie Library
building will be started Monday next
or very soon thereafter. Mr.. Little
ore of the contractors, was here yes
terday looking over the grounds and
getting ready to push the work for
ward actively when once a beginning
is made. Gravel for the foundation
was purchased from Mr.. F. b. Arthur
OF the Alabama Gravel Co. AS the
Times-Recorder announced few days
ago, the $4,000 appropriated for the
library is in bank to the credit of the
local board and there is no reason
why the work should not be expedi-
ted and the splendid library building
completed early in the new year.

SUMTER DEMOCRACY
WILL ORGANIZE
Meeting Called for Monday
Night at City Hall.

Sumter county Democrats are tC
gather Monday night at o'clock in
the Council Chamber for the purpose
of organizing a Sumter County Demo-
cratic club The club will take an
active part both in the state and nat
ional elections which are rapidly ap-
preaching
The call for the meeting has been
issued by County Chairman E. A
Nisbet who has the hearty co-operat-
ton of Mr. G. r. Ellis, a member OF
the state committee. Mr.. Nisbet and
Mr. Ellis have talked with a number
of Democrats of the town and county
and find strong sentiment for an
organization. 1t is possible that the
club will become a permanent insti-
tuition, to be used in future campaigns
or between times when occasion de-
mands
1t is hoped that one or more repre-
sentatives from every district in the
county Will become active members
of the club, so that the plans which
the club may devise to bring out a
large vote will be worked in all parts
of the county.
While no fears whatever are ex-
pressed for the state and national
Democratic ticket in Georgia. the
idea will be to get out a big vote.
In the October election such a vote
will have a good moral effect over
the country, and might be influential
in the election of Bryan. 1t is of
course always a matter of state pride
to be either first or second of the
Southern states in the size of the ma
jority in the PresidenUai elections
