FEW DRINKS IN LINEUP
AS BOOZE Is SCARCE
Couldn't Get it on Election
Day.

The small number of drunks in
police court yesterday was attribut-
able to the drought prevailing in
Americus on Saturday on account of
the election. There was plenty of
liquor in evidence here, and the re-
sultant jags were to be seen, but, the
cases and jugs ordered and which
arrived Saturday morning were not
available. The Southern Express
Companys inexorable rule to close
the office so far as the delivery of
the packages of liquor on election
day. was a source of much COM
plant Saturday among those whose
supply for Sunday was cut short
The majority of these complaints
came from negroes who do not keep
up with the trend of passing events
and therefore knew nothing of the

SMASHED A BIG GLASS
AND ROBBED A STORE
Bold Burglary Is Commit
ted Here.

One of the boldest burglaries ever
committed here, and as successful as
1t was daring, was discovered yester-
day morning when the store of Mr..
w A. Joiner on Cotton avenue was
opened for the day, one of the en-
ployes making the discovery.
Burglars had been there and the
loot was cimplete.
One of the handsome plate glass
windows was smashed, and through
a gaping hole opening upon the yes
t1bule at the front the burglar had
entered
The jagged hole was large enough
to admit a full grown man, and the
thief evidently took ample time in Sc
lect1ng the loot he desired A hand
some cloak, skirts, several pairs of
shoes and other articles were stolen.
Mr. Joiner stated yesterday, so far
as he could ascertain in looking over
the stock, that the goods stolen were
worth $35 to $50, but could have been
much more, as it was difficult to de-
tect goods missing from such large
stock
The police have no clue to work
upon. The glass broken was worth
probably $50, thus running the total
loss to near $100.

Trustee in WheatIey Case
Will Be Named.

The first meeting of creditors of
Mr.. George D. Wheatley, growing out
of the involuntary bankruptcy pro-
ceedings instituted against him a
month ago, will be held this morning
in the bankruptcy court in Macon.
Mr. Wheatley will attend the pro-
ceedings, as will several attorneys
and others here interested 1t is
rather expected that the court will
appoint a permanent trustee, whose
duty it will be to wind up the busi-
ness and dispose of the large stock
of goods in the Wheatley store. This,
quite likely, will be sold as whole
although the disposition of it will
be directed by the court in the pro-
ceedings to follow.

War CLOUD IN

Vienna. Oct. s.--War between Aus
tria-Hungary and Seryia is a recog-

lieved here that it will be averted.
King Peter is in a difficult position
on account Of the clamor of the Sery-
ians for war. particularly since his
tenure on the throne never has been
very safe.
The Austrians. on their part, have
a new feeling Of national enterprise
on account Of the forward movement
in the annexation Of Bosnia and Her
zegovnia and would be more ready for
further adventure now than they we're
q week ago.
That the government recognizes the
possibility. the military precautions in
Hungary show. All the bridges over
the Save and Danube near the Servian
frontier are strongly guarded by pa
trolls and four Danube river monitors
were concentrate at Budapest today.
The government explains that this
maneuver was planned some time ago.

CHICAGO

Chicago, Oct 9.-Haying temporar-
lily bridged the political chasm which
separated them and shaken hands with
his Republican opponent, W. j. Bryan,
Democratic candidate for president,
lsaIlied forth and resumed his warfare.
Not only Taft. but President Roose-
welt, came in for a severe castigation
at his hands. The forenoon was spent
by the Democratic candidate in hold
ing conferences with his lieutenants
at headquarters and in the delivery
OF an address before the Lakes-to-Ine-
Gulf waterways congress. Then he
rode out TO Evanston and there ad-
dressed several thousand students OF
Northwestern university and citizens
Of the city, and last night journeyed
90 Chicago Heights. where he spoke to
big gathering Of laboring men.
He left this morning at 1880 over

length on the desirability OF good citi-
zenship.

said there were just two parties in
every country and that wherever
speech was free those two parties
would manifest themselves. jefferson,

1T is true here and is true every.
where" The Democratic party. he de-
clared, was nearer the people and
therefore It was only question Of
time when the peoples party would be
the triumphant one in the United
States.
Mr.. Bryan charged that the Republi
an leaders were not going in the d.
rection that the people of the Repub-
lican party wanted to go, and he pro
ceeded to present arguments in sub
stantiation of his statement. In re-
jecting the publicity of campaign
funds before election, he said, ne Re-
publican leaders Of the convention
here in June last betrayed the rank
and file of their own party end mis-
represented the voters of the country.
Mr.. Taft, he said, had repudiated that
action, but had gone only ha's way aud
favored publicity Of campaign contri-
buttons after election. He attacked
Mr.. Tafts position on the tariff. trust
and labor questions and varied his
hearers that they need not expect any
remedial legislation should the Repub-
lican party be kept in power and

his despotic ru.s.

PRACTICAL POINTERS ON TOWN
BUILDING.

You are anxious to see chickasha
grow and her people prosper, of course
you are.
You like TO see new homes and new
business buildings going up and you
are in for progress OF every kind.
You are a "town builder" certainly,
you are; you want chickasha to have a
dozen more railroads end several hun
dred more factories You are loyal to
Chickasha and you believe in boost
ing"
We are very glad indeed to learn
that you are that kind Of citizen. It
is highly creditable 10 you and We wish
Chickasha had 10000 more people Just
like you. We don't question your good
intentions at all. but pardon the I'm
pertinence. we want to know what
practical demonstration you are Civ
ing OF all this devotion to your home
town. Doing all you can. did you say?
Let's see; there's one method Of
town building that every man, woman
and child in Chickasha can work a
every day and it is one Of the most ef-
fective schemes ever devised by NOR
tai man for promoting the progress Of
a community It never falls TO work;
it's a dead sure shot. and 1t is so sim
ple that anybody can use It
It's the very fundamental principle
OF town building and. without keeping
you in suspense any longer, We hasten
to announce It: Spend your money
in the community where you make It.
A startling suggestion, isn't it2 Are
you using it?
The merchants Of chickasha carry
all tho goods that anybody needs. In
quantity and quality their stocks
ssh0uld satisfy anyone and their prices
are as reasonable as can be found any
where. They pay rent, pay taxes, con-
tribute to every public enterprise.
They deserve the patronage OF all
Chickasha peopl" including bankers,
lawyers, laborers and every other
class. Every dollar spent outside Of
the town is that much token from the
pockets OF the home merchants. and
alhe same amount sUbtracted from the
general property Of the town.
And then we have number Of
home factories. Are you using the
goods that they produce? You fellow
guffing the smoke from a cigar was
I made in Chickasha? Don't you
know that Fishers factory makes as

there? You hadn't thought about It,
Jut you ought to, and you ought to buy

he SIgmon factory, the flour made
by the Chickasha Milling company, the
products OF the Chickasha planning
mills, the brooms made in Chickasha,
the stationery printed in Chickasha.
