As to County Printing.

In response to an inquiry from J. L.
Boyd, president of the board of super
visors of Tate county, Attorney Gen
eral Fletcher has just rendered an
opinion which settles question affect
ing many counties in the state. In
substance the query is as to, whether, q
member of county board of election
commissioners who happens to be job
printer can take unto himself the au-
thority to print the Official ballots for a
regular election, and again, whether
this printing must go TO the county
printer the man holding the contract
for supplying the county with station
cry. The effect of the opinion is that
this particular work is not necessarily
includeehinth the work to be done by the
county printer, but that under no cir
cumstances3 can a member of'the COM
mission take the contract and do the
work himself without violating both
the letter and spirit Of the law. 20

DELAY OF YEAR IN

In Case Richmond Will Not
Provide Site.

The dissemination of Richmond to
provide site for the Wirz monu-
ment, as told in yesterdays Times
Recorder may throw the question
back for another settlement One of
the reasons why the monument is
not sought after by the Virginia City
is that it does not compare favorably
with the other Confederate monu-
ments there
Members of the local chapter were
somewhat at sea yesterday on the
outcome OF the matter in case Rich
mond did not accept the monument
Such a course would restrict the
monument to a Georgia site. AS all
prospective locations in this state
have already been rejected by the
Savannah convention, it would seem
that the monument could not be erect
ed until after the next meeting of
the state u D. c., which will be
held next fall at West Point.
Il hope Richmond will see a way
to accept the monument" said Mrs.
J. e. Mathis yesterday. I am anx-
ious to see the matter settled and the
shaft put up. If Richmond refuses, it
is possible that the Executive Com
mittee might select another site, but
l hardly think they would assume a
responsibility of that kind, after
the question had been so thoroughly
discussed at Savannah. | should
think that the monument would be
held over until the next meeting of
the U. D. c., at West Point"

STATE TO BUY ISLANT
AS CAMP FOR FELONS
LapeIO May Be Peniten-
tiary Camp.

The movement to have the state
purchase Sapelo island, which lies
off the Georgia coast near Darien,
Mcintosh county, has been revived.
The property has been offered for
lease, with option of sale, to the pris-
on commission, which was given au-
thority under the recently enacted
convict bill to extend the convict
farming idea for the state
Sapelo island is cut off from land,
making it a safe abode for crimi-
nails 1t contains several thousand
acres of good farming land, pastur-
age, etc. In 1897, when the convict
question was burning issue before
the legislature, the sentiment in
favor of purchasing the property
and turning it into big convict farm
grew strong.
The matter was investigated at the
time by a special committee.
1t is improbable that the commits
sion will invest in any new lands at
present. While possessing authority
to take such steps the board lacks
funds They are dependent on money
derived from the Wise near-beer tax
for carrying out such plans, and the
returns from this source have been
meagre so far.
Advertisements for offers on prop
erty have been made, in accordance
with the new law, and Sapelo island
is among the real estate that has
been offered.

BANKER MORSE GIFTS

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.--(SpeciaD -
Charles w Morse, the one-time ice
and steamship king, and controlling
force in a long string of banks, CON
victed Thursday of violating the I'm
tied States banking laws, was SEN
fenced today to fifteen years in the
penitentiary. He will be sent to the
Atlanta prison. Judge Hough, in SEN
fencing him, said that If such schemes
as those worked by Morse were al
lowed to go unpunished, the public
would be at the mercy of adven-
turers.
There has been wide interest in the
joint trials of Charles w Morse and
Alfred H. Curtis on charges growing
out of the failure of the National
Bank of North America. 1t was
brought out in the testimony that
Morse had made large loans from tn
bank through the so-called dunn
mics" and that President Curtis had
enabled him to do So The money
thus obtained was used to finance the
Morse ice pools and steamship op-
erations.

AMERICUS is GOING TO
WORK THE CONNCTS
Upon Streets If Force Is
to Be Had.

Americus' streets are to be worked
by convict labor. like the roads of
the county, if force of zebras suffi-
cient for the undertaking can be pro-
cured from the state. The city coun-
Gil has decided to use this kind of
labor.
And it will insure the rapid i'm
provement of the city's streets.
At the recent meeting of council
the Street Committe, to which the
subject had previously been referred,
reported in favor of using convicts
upon the streets.
Upon this report the council au-
thorized the Street Committee to con-
fer with the board of county commits
sioners, with regard to securing the
additional number of convicts, the
commissioners having previously de-
cided to employ convict labor
Sumter county will ask the prison
commission for fifty-one convicts in
March next; twenty-six misdemeans
ors and twenty-five felony fellows.
This bunch of fifty-one will supple
ment the chaingang force now en-
ployed upon the county roads.
The convicts will cost the city only
$S per month each, whereas free la
bor is paid now at the rates of 75c
to 81 per day and is not nearly as
efficient as the convicts.

A BALD-HEADED WOMAN
ShOrn of Her Grown of Beauty Loses
in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman. Who could love and marry
bald headed woman? What charms
could one array to offset such dis
fgurement?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her crowning glory is her
hair The loss of her hair mars her
beauty, happiness and success. Yet,
right here in Americus, there are
thousands of women who are neglect
ing or injuring their hair to such an
extent that it is only matter of
time when it will be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance of certain facts. They use
curling irons over-heated, or to ex
cess, which destroys the natural oil
of the hair, causing it to split, break
and come out They do not shampoo
their hair often enough, or too often
They use soaps or preparations which
contain ingredients positively harm
full to the scalp and hair.
AS a result of such treatment, dand-
ruff is created, the hair lossens, loses
color, falls out, and badness COM
mences, unless proper and prompt
precautions are taken in time. Again
microbes and certain diseases bring
about unhealthy scalp and hair con-
ditions.
Almost anyone may rid themselves
Of dandruff and diseased scalp and
hair if they will but use the right
remedy. We have that remedy, and
we will positively guarantee that it
will either cure dandruff and bald
ness or it will not cost the user
anything.
That's pretty broad statement,
but we will back it and prove it
with our own money. Rexall "93''
Hair Tonic is the remedy that will
grow hair and overcome all scalp
