IN AMERICUS IS
READY TO ICE CARS
Facilities Here for Handling
Fruit.

Americus is all right now on the ice
proposition, not only for supplying the
local demand, but for re-icing fruit
shipments in transit as we'll Only
recently has this been possible, as
both the factories here were late in
beginning the manufacture of ice,
but there is no delay now. Fruit cars
sent to Americus to be loaded with
peaches are we'll iced at Macon and
sent here empty. After being loaded
the cars are re-iced here, about two
tons per car being required in this
latter process. The fruit is then in
splendid condition for shipment and
can go through to the Eastern mar
kets with one more icing; often times
without it. Next season it will be pos
sible to do all of the icing of cars in
Americus, as facilities to that end will
be provided.

WILKES HOME is OWNED
NOW BY THAD WALLIS
Property is Bought for
Good Price.

Mr.. Thad Wallis purchased yester-
day of DR.. ]. M. Wilkes, formerly of
Americus but now of Tampa, Fla,
his desirable property on Fielder street
and known as the former c. w. Eel
der residence. DR.. Wilkes bought the
property about three years ago, and
after having since sold off several
acres in building lots, disposed of
the remainder of the property yester-
day at a good profit above the origi-
nal cost for the entire place. Mr.
Wallis purchase consists of the resi-
dence and eight acres of very desir-
able land, which is in a locality
where it will enhance rapidly in
value Mr. Wallis will fit up the place
handsomely as a home, having had
it under lease already for the past
year.

difficulty respecting the ownership of
a hog, or watermelon. In fact
Sumter's Jail has been we'll nigh
deserted all of this year, an agreeable
situation which can be attributed in
large measure to the beneficient eff
feet of prohibition and the perpetual
separation Of the booze and the coon.
Rare is it now that an arrest has to
be made, and the infrequent ones
grow out of some larceny charge,
or the caress of a wife with a bedslat
welded by her ebony lord and master.
There is peace in Sumter, and the
spider throws his web about the outer
portals of the bastile.

FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT.
Prof. Garner Authority for Assertion
That Wild Animals Converse.

The chatter of monkeys is a real
chatter and conversation, some folks
say. Prof. r. L. Garner, who has spent
the greater part of several years in
the forests of Africa studying the Ian
guages of monkeys and other animals
says silence is not an absolute ele
ment in the safety of wild animal life
Wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes of human beings. This he at
tributes to lack of social intimacies
and nomadic habits. The carnivora,
the only natural enemies which other
animals have any cause to fear
through the sound of their voices, de-
pend almost entirely upon the sense
OF smell in pursuing their. game, every
species having It's peculiar odor. Also
, the carnivora generally hunt at night
seizing their prey while asleep. The
anipals which have the fewest rea-
sor&AUo fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Gamers three years residence
in the jungle he found that the chin
panzee frequently breaks the silence
of the forest by answering the cries
of the various other animals. The
gorilla is less loquacious. but there
are times when he ignores all danger
of betrayal and gives vent to a deluge
OF speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers, and can be heard at
almost any hour. The trumpeting Of
the elephant is common at night, and
the believing Of the hippopotamus
by day or night. The antelopes cry at
night when the leopard is on the hunt
for them, the latter also grunting.

EFFECT OF MUSIC ON MORALS.
English Composer Says Emotional
Trash Causes Harm.

A disciple Of Tolstoi's theory that
music may affect the morals has come
forward in England in the person of
Sir Walter Parratt. He has practically
proposed censorship of music, which
In the face Of the growing bitterness
against the dramatic censorship cer-
tainly shows him to be a daring IL
somewhat misguided person.
When one considers the style of bal
lad overwhelmingly popular in London
today, with It's trashy, reminiscent
melody and its everlasting refrain OF
the wounded heart pierced by Cupid's
DART or "the little bird which sings,
sings, sings, name is legion
one can't help but feel there is method
In Sir Walters madness.
He emphatically denounces senti.
mental, weak and washy music as
really wicked.
There Is very pressing need" he
says, "for the wedding out OF the many
so-called musical compositions on the
market today. Many are written In
sentimental vein which is most
Objectionable and deteriorating in
tendency.
even In our present-day hymn
books there are many tunes which we
could well do without.

Trend Of Civilization,

1 had thought that civilization
meant the attainment of peace and
order and freedom, of good will be-
tween man and man, Of the love of
truth, and the hatred Of injustice, and
by consequence the attainment OF the
good life which these things breed, a
lie free from craven fear, but full OF
incident; that was what thought It
meant, not more stuffed chairs and
more cushions, and more carpets and
gas. and more dainty meat and drink
AND therewithal more and sharper
dinerence between class and class

JUST WANTED TO SEE MONEY.

A savings bank is never very

is known in medicine as a specific
ailrnent, viz: .policeman's heel"
While not at first alarming, 1t soon
grows severe and indicates serious
condition OF the foot. Any one so
, afflicted may become cripple unless
by proper mechanical devices tho
arch of the foot Ii upheld for a time
and the pressure on the heel from the
weight of the body relieved. This
very painful condition OF the foot
is often wrongly diagnosed as rhen-
matism or govt. The foot-rest Will
quickly relieve the pain and by re-
tanning tie bones OF the arch in prop
er position, Will eventually cure. Per-
sons standing on their feet contin-
ually, or having to walk much, Will
appreciate this appliance as restful
to the feet. Not being fastened in
the shoe IT Is easily interchangeable.
