PARADE OF THE AUTOS
is QUITE A SUCCESS
Though Few Machines Enter
Pageant.

To Mr.. John Sheffield is due credit
for the first auto parade in Americus
that of yesterday afternoon and while
not as large as desired, due to insuffi-
cient notice to owners and under
standing of details, it proved quite an
enjoyable occasion.
1t established the automobile pa
rade as a permanent institution, and
the second event to take place at an
early date, will prove even a greater
success
Several handsome cars were in this
first parade and attracted very gener-
al admiration.
= Each machine carried a bevy of
pretty young girls and handsome
matrons, who enjoyed the occasion to
the fullest extent.
It is proposed to have another pa
rade about two weeks hence, and suf-
ficient notice will be given to enable
the owners to decorate their cars
with flowers and bunting. At least
twenty-five handsome machines will
be in the next parade
Several cars ordered recently, in
addition to four new ones received
within the past week, will be here in
the course of a few days.

NO PROFIT IN GROWING
THIS GEM OF MELONS
Returns Dom Pay for Nails
in Crates.

Americus fruit growers who plant
ed canteloupes extensively this sum-
mer will hardly do so again, in view
of their experience from a financial
point of view. The fruit thus grown
here was of finest quality, far sur
passing the celebrated Rocky Fords"
or any other variety, and many
solid carloads have been shipped from
Americus since the season opened.
But the returns from commission
houses, in many instances, were far
from satisfactory. For instance, one
particularly fine carload shipped last
week and consisting Of about $50
crates, netted the shipped a little
more than paltry five dollars, or less
than one cent a crate. This, of course
would not pay for the nails used in
making the crates, and is calculated
to disgust anyone with the methods
employed in handling shipments of
fruit 1t is certainly discouraging and
well calculated to put quietus upon
this industry, which bids fair to as
sumo larger proportions among local
growers.

SUMTER AND MACON TO
FORM A new DISTRICT
If State is RediStriCted, as
Proposed.

Sumter and Macon counties may
form new senatorial district, if
the HUE bill now pending in the
House is acted upon favorably, thus
parting company with Schley county,
with which we have trotted in har-
ness for many years
In the re-districting of the state
Sumter and Macon would continue the
Thirteenth district, while Schley
would go to the Twenty-fourth, with
Marion and Chattahoochee.
The Huie bill provides for fifty-nine
senatorial districts, instead of forty
four, as at present
Under the new scheme, the big five
city counties of Fulton, Chatham,
Richmond, Bibb ond Floyd are each
created. Then two large counties are
to be made into districts and then
three counties to a district
The bill was introduced last session
by Mr.. HUE and attracted interest at
once. 1t was recently favorably re-
ported by the Committee on Constitu-
tional Amendments and has been read
the second time in the house.
1t will in all probability be passed
one day this week.

TO NAME DELEGATES
TO MAKE PROTEST
Board of Trade viii lake
Action Tonight.

Tonight a called meeting of the
Board of Trade. will be held to take
action on the proposed raise in freight
rates to Southeastern territory. Rep
resentatives will be appointed to go
to Atlanta to appear before the Rail-
road Commission on Thursday to en-
ter protest against any increase in
freight rates. While the Georgia COM
mission has no control over inter-
state rates, they can file protest with
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
At the last regular meeting of the
Board, delegates were appointed but
owing to misunderstanding as to
the day of the hearing, no one out
side of Atlanta appeared before the
commission.
Americust wiz enter a most en-
phatic protest against the proposed
increase, holding that it is unwar-
ranted and unjust. It is estimated
that perhaps $4,000 would be taken
from Americus annually by the in
crease, which is to be extended to al
most every class of freight At first
the raise was for meats, -four and
grain exclusively.
1t is expected that there will be a
large attendance of the merchants to-
night, as the subject is of most vital
Importance to them Only a small
part of the increase could be passed
on to the consumer.

TEAM IS CRIPPLED AND
CUT TRIP TO ALBANY
Champs Ask POStpOnement
of Date.

Greatly to their disappointment,
and doubtless to the disappointment
of the Albany team as well, the Am
ericus Champs at noon yesterday
were compelled to forego the ex-
pected trip to that city and ask a
postponment to late date.
Illness upon the part of two mem
bers, and the inability of two others
to get away from business, necessi-
tated cancellation of the engage
ment at this time
And the cohort of ''rooters" going
with the team were likewise greatly
disappointed
Ansley and Bynum were neither in
the pink of condition to go in the
box, and with Hooks, Kiker and one
other of the team unable to get away
Manager Bell reluctantly cancelled
the engagement.
Albany had prepared for a rafting
game, and doubtless felt sore over the
non-appearance of the Champs, but it
couldn't be helped.
The team will go to Albany one
day early in next week, probably play
ing two games there, and Albany will
return the engagement the week
thereafter. With the Champs team
partially disabled, there will prob
ably be no games here this week.
The Camilla team has sent another
challenge to the Champs, but under
adverse conditions now existing it
cannot be considered

LAW MAKERS OF STATE
CAUGHT IN A RAID
BrOuqhtOn Tells of a Little
Same of Draw.

ATLANTA, July -(SpeciaD -
Len Broughton last night made a
sensational attack on members of the
Legislature, who engaged in a friendly
game; on the convict system; on the
members of the Prison Commission
and on the near beer" of Atlanta.
Saturday night room in the Kim
ball was raided and five members of
the Legislature caught there were
allowed to make bond without the
formality of paying a visit to the po-
lice station and having their names
docketed on the records.
Names of the members have been
scrupulously guarded.
DR. Broughton demands investiga-
tion by the Legislature and trial OF
the legislators by the court.
Of the Prison Commission he de-
clared that they were a "Set of rim.
less naughts, and that they had no
shown themselves competent to holc
their positions.
Speaking of near beer he sait
Atlanta was full of "nears.'
He declared that the only thing tha
was not near was the Mayor of the
city. He asserted that Mayor Joynel
could not claim to be even near
Mayor. as he was man who lived in
Cobb county and made his living run
ming professional baseball teams.

SHERMAN'S SONG
INSULT TO GEORGIA
Crawford WhedtIey Talks of
Denver Convention.

Hon. Crawford Wheatley returned
Saturday night from a two weeks triT
to Denver and st. Paul To the form
er city he went as a delegate to the
Democratic Convention, and in st
Paul he was delegate to the Shrin-
ers Imperial Council of North Ameri-
ca.
Georgia had the only real dele
cation from the South" said Mr.
Wheatley yesterday THE others were
tagged. We were against Bryan. AS
soon as our position was known,
delegates from Maine to California
came to see us and begged us to try
to hold back Bryan from winning on
the first ballot They declared that
they would come over on the second
ballot, after they had carried out their
instructions by giving Bryan their
votes on the first But the thing was
too heavily loaded.
'sWhen the mob broke loose at the
Bryan demonstration New York and
Georgia sat together, and refused to
join. When they saw we could not
be moved, they tried to climb over
US. We got up to prevent being walk
ed over. They then tried to take the
standard, but about a dozen of us
surrounded it and held them at bay
by force.

WASTE OF FINE PEARS
THAT MIGHT BE USED
Trees in AmeriCuS BENDING
With Fruit.

All over Americus hundreds OF
pear trees are laden with the finest
crop of this delicious fruit grown
here in years, and practically all OF
it is going to waste although the
fruit is fine for canning, or immediate
table use. There are no large or
chards here longer, as in former
years the hundreds of trees referred
to serving as. shade trees upon the
streets or in private gardens. The
lie Conte is esteemed highly as a
table pear, ripening thoroughly to
the core and being of fine flavor, and
in the territory about Albany is
grown to great advantage for ship
ping, one grower there quite recently
selling his crop of about twenty acres
upon the trees for $500, the purchas-
er doing the shipping.

No other medicine for Woman's
ills in the world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-
dorsement as has Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such a
record of success for Woman's dis
eases, or such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30years it has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
It has relieved more cases of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. 1t dissolves
and expels tumors in an early stage
of development.
Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness of the Stomach, Indiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous Prostration,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
Weld to it; also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all clrcum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.
1t removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, don't care "and
want to : be left alone feeling,
excitability, irritability, nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sleeplessnesss,
flatulency, melancholy orthe blues.
These are indications OF Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as well as slight arrangement
of the Kidneys Of either sex.
Women who are sick and want to
get well should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
