Offer Correction.

A number of young men in the en-
ploy of the Kerr-Gifford company
wish to correct an erroneous statement
recently published in the Lewiston
Tribune relative to disturbance on
the streets Monday night. These
boys are not of fighting disposition
but stand for their rights which is the
privilege of every good citizen of our

YOUNG MEN ON BOARD
OF TRADE THE NEED
Dozens Here Should Help
Movement.

More young business men, alert,
vigilant, active young men, are need
ed on the Americus Board of Trade
to assist in pushing forward the
work outlined for the year, and the
membership should be increased to
that extent There are already many
of the prominent and successful young
men of the city in the organization,
but not nearly so many as should be.
President Allen is going to take hold
with vim and energy, characteristic
elements which he carries into every
undertaking, and he wants more lieu
tenants to help him in the work for
Greater Americus. The greatest eff
fort of recent years is going to be
made now to put Americus forward,
and every citizen will be depended
upon to do his duty. The Board of
Trade is the prime mover in every
thing looking to the citys commercial
advancement and upbuilding, and more
men in the ranks are needed Get
into the game, young man, and on
New Years day, 1909, with our
streets paved, with electric cars
speeding along our highways, with
more business, more buildings and
fifteen thousand people here, you
can look upon the scene with pride
and satisfaction in the fact that YOU
contributed your part thereto.

DOLLAR BANQUET
BY BOARD OF TRADE
For Celebration of Its Sec
Ond Anniversary.

The Board Of Trade will soon cele-
brate it's second anniversary with a
dollar banquet
Steps to this end were taken at the
recent meeting Of the organization.
The matter of banquet was
brought up by Mr. Thomas e. Mitchell
After some discussion it was decided
that the new committee on Enter
tainment, which will be appointed by
President Allen, should take hold of
the matter and arrange for a dollar
banquet at as early a date as prac-
ticable
1t was felt that popular price din
ner was better than high priced af-
fair at which the attendance would be
more limited.
What is desired is to secure the at
tendance Of as many of the citizens of
Americus in the forward movement
as possible, and also to have as large
a number Of ladies present as can be
induced to grace the occasion.
The entertainment committee as
soon as appointed will get to work on
the details. The dinner of the Board
of Trade year ago was very sue
cessful and highly enjoyable affair.
The second dinner should be none the
less successful and enjoyable.
1t is probable that the dinner will
be given early in April.

ICARNEGIE'S INTEREST
IN new LIBRARY
Has Requested Fuller In
formation on Prospect.

The movement for q Carnegie Lii
brary in Americus is going along in
a highly satisfactory manner.
Secretary Pruitt, of the Board of
Trade, who is conducting the CORES
pondence with Mr.. Carnegie's secre-
tary on behalf of that organization,
received letter from the secretary a
few days ago requesting additional in
formation on one or two points.
This was promptly furnished. AT
the same time a photo of the old
library was sent, with a statement as
to the size of the lot and it's admirable
location.
The Library Association, as has been
reported, is willing to do all in it's
power, by donating the present site,
building and books, to insure the er-
ection here of a modern and beautiful
library building, worthy of a growing
community like Americus.
While no action has yet been taken
by the Mayor and Aldermen it is felt
that when things are in exact shape
for them to proceed officially there will
be no failure on their part to do all
that the city can possibly do to Sc
cure the erection Of a library building
here
A Carnegie library following close
ly on the Y. M. G. A building will
speak highly for: the progressiveness
of Americus.

PEACH CANNERY
IN PROSPECT
Maryland Capitalists Are
Much Interested.

There is an excellent prospect that
Americus will have big peach can
ming factory in operation when the
fruit season opens this year
Recently the Times Recorder told of
the visits here of the Roberts Bro
theirs, of Maryland, who are large
Gamers of peaches and other fruits
and vegetables.
These gentlemen were much i'm
pressed with the opportunity offered
here for a large canning factory.
They visited the several great
peach orchards hereabout, talked with
the growers. and were much impress
ed with the prospects in their line of
business.
After their departure Secretary
Pruitt, of the Board of Trade, got into
communication with them.
Several letters have passed, and the
Maryland parties state that they will
probably soon take the matter UP ac-
lively again, with the idea of locating
a factory here in time for this sea-
sons peach crop.
If the factory is built it may be
the means of inducing the planting Of
large quantities of vegetables as
we'll Such a factory could use the
products Of thousands of acres of
tomatoes and other vegetables as well
as/all of the peaches offering.
With the rapid development of the
peach industry in Sumter county a
canning factory must sooner or later
be established AS it is, it is not
unlikely that one will be in operation
this fall.

AMERICUS is GOING TO
HAVE A DIRECTORY
Parties Here Interested in
Movement.

Americus is to have shortly what
she has needed for many years past,
a reliable up-to-date city directory
Volumes issued years ago are obso-
Iete and altogether unreliable, with
the many changes taking place since
their publication, and our citizens
will hail with satisfaction a new and
up-to- -the-hour directory, giving the
names of the twelve thousand people
here, with their street address. Par
ties familiar with the work are ar
ranging already to issue the new di-
rectory, and the volume will be ready
for publication during the early sum-
mer. And with the publication of
the directory the City Council might
arrange with the publishers for TAX
ing the proposed census as well, as
the very nature of their work will in
clude an accurate count of all the
people here, white and colored. Let
this work be started at once and
give the city the much-needed di-
rectory at the earliest date possible.

THE RACE FOR SENATE
IN 18TH OF INTEREST
Murray and COIIum the
Candidates.

Either Hon w. D. Murray or Hon.
NJ E. Collum, will represent the
Thirteenth district in the State SEN
ate at the next term, and in Ameri-
Gus, much interest is centered in the
race between these gentlemen. Schley
county names the senator this year,
under the rotation system, and Mess.
Collum and Murray are the aspirants,
with Schley's voters to name the
fortunate one. The campaign will
not be a lengthy one, the primary
being held on March 9th, little more
than two weeks hence. In Schley,
the county officials have easier sail
ing than some of those in Sumter,
none of the present corps of county
officers having opposition for re-elec-
ton There are three announced
candidates for Schley's one seat in
the Legislature, Messrs. r. M. Rainey,
c.. R. McCrory and J. T. Royal, where
as Sumter county, with two comfort
able cushioned seats in the House,
has only one aspirant for each chair.

TRAVELLING MEN
OPPOSE GOV. SMITH
Are PetitiOning Joe Brown
to Announce.

Opposition to the candidacy Of Gov.
HOke Smith for reelection is reported
to be strong among the travelling fra
ternity in Georgia. These men have
the best opportunity possible to as
certain the temper of the people,
going as they do into every city, town
and village of the state. Dissatisfac-
ton with the results achieved by the
present administration is widespread
among the merchants.
Dealers at retail are displeased in
age part because the railroads and
large corporations have been cutting
down expenses by reducing forces and
curtailing improvements. For this
they are inclined to place the chief
responsibility on Gov. Smith and his
Railroad Commission for attacks on
corporations.
One of the best known travelling
men of the state, who resides in
Americus, has become so strongly inn
pressed with the opposition to Gov
Smith that he has entirely of his own
motion drawn up a petition to Hon
Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown asking that
gentleman to enter the gubernatOrial
race. The petitioners express the
belief that Mr.. Brown would be a
winner before the people. IN TWO
days twenty-three signatures of trav-
cling men were secured to the petit
ton. 1t is taken by the originator to
mean "23" for Gov. Smith.
Opposition to Gov. Smith and his
policies is widespread among the trav-
cling man." said the gentleman re-
ferred to. "All over the state its
the same story. I've gotten into the
habit of polling every group of travel
ing men / get a chance at. Eleven out
of every twelve have nOthing~but con-
demnation and sigh for a change.
81 certainly believe it is possible
to elect Joe Brown Governor over
Hoke Smith. All it needs is a little
more cystalizing of sentiment to show
how really imposing is the protesting
delegation. l do not know how Mr.
rBown will act on our petition, but
we are going to get a great big one"

Shorty Hale has a hunch on short

in King and Gatewood, while the other
positions will likewise be filled by
good men, There is plenty of excel
lent ball timber in the school, and Am

nearby towns will have to sew their
scalps on tight when the college team

CLOTHES AND A WATCH
TAKEN AT ONE SWIPE
This Burglar Made Whole
Sweep.

When Eugene Williams arose from
his downy bed yesterday and reached
for his trousers and other regalia, his
hand grasped the thin ozone of the
bedroom only. For as Mr.. Williams
slumbered bold bad burglarious
black, brother had crawled over the
battlements of his castle and made a
clean sweep of everything wearable.
Col. Williams shoes evidently fitted all
right, for he took them along with
his socks, trousers, coat, vest, neck
tie and hat. Then wanting a little
more time, he deftly swiped the fam
lily watch. Arrayed in the habili-
ments of summer, Col Williams came
to the city and reported the burglary
to the police, but as the officers are
still hunting the perpetrator of six
other burglaries here, Col. Williams
visitor will have to await his turn to
be captured.

AT POINT OF PISTOLS
PORTER IS DRIVEN OFF

A report was current here yesterday
to the effect that tramps had taken
possession of a freight car in Central
train, Americus to Macon, and had
driven off the brakeman at the point
of a pistol when he attempted to fire
the ticketless bunch. 1t is said that
the free riders were discovered short
Iy before the train reached Oglethorpe,
the gang escaping to the woods later.
The circumstances connected with the
story, if a true one, are not known

bound for Macon. The police depart
ment here had heard nothing of the
affair up to o'clock last night.

,Catarrh
A Guaranteed Cure

One thousand retail druggists
who are the leaders of the drug
trade of the United States, and
that means the world, rated by
Bradstreet's and Dun's at twenty
million dollars and whose retail
business aggregates over seventy
million dollars annual sales, have
agreed to give their name, filan-

the guarantee that Rexall Mucu-
Tone will cure any disease or
trouble arising from catarrh or
they will refund the money. We
are proud Of our connection with
the Rexall Remedies, particularly
so of u-Tone, because a rem
edy must be something out of the
ordinary to get our backing. 1t
is not ali profit that leads us and
Our one thousand associates into
endorsing this remedy; it is our
years of experience with medi-
cines and Our knowledge of them
that makes us believe that Rexall
Mucu-Tone is a bona-ide discov-
cry for the cure of all ailments
due to catarrhal affection. We
know that it is not a cure all.
but a remedy built on scientific
lines and not a patent medicine as
each one of the one thousand
druggists knows its formula and
its value. 1t has one great addi-
tional value besides curing consti-
tutional catarrh-that it is a sys-
tenn builder. No such tonic was
ever before designed for the cur
ing of inflammation of the nit
cOuS membrane-nor can it be
improved on in the present age.
Just stop and reason with your
self for one minute. We are do
ing business right here in your
midst. Could we afford to offer
Our name and endorsement to
Mucu-Tone as we do if we did
not know that it was an honest
medicine? Could we afford to
agree as we do that we will re-
fund every penny paid us for the
medicine if it does not benefit.
All we ask is the customers S
word and the empty bottle and
we hand the money back. No
signed certificate. We believe the
public, especially the sick, are
honest, certainly every sick per-
son who suffers from any of the
following ailments should take ad-
vantage of our offer to-day. Rex
all Mucu-Tone cures catarrh of
the nose, throat, stomach, intes-
tines, liver, kidneys or bladder,
and any who are convalescing

The Rexall Remedies
deserve confidence.
AS all these Remedies
are grouped under one
name, they must succeed
or fail together. There
must be no weak links
in this chain. One un-
worthy remedy would
mean disaster for the en-
tire plan. If you, for
example, purchased the
Rexall Cough Cure and
were not cured by it,
how could we expect
you to place any faith
thereafter in the Rexall
Dyspepsia Cure or any
other member of the
Rexall family?
You can understand,
therefore, why such anx-
ious care was given to
finding and choosing the
remedies to which the !,

given. We have adj
mitted none to this cir
Gle until our committee

and test that it was the

lieve.

Remember, the success
of our enterprise depends
on the merit of each in-
