AID SOCIETY IS GIVING
HELP TO THE POOR
| Families in AmeriCuS Thus
Cheered.

The Ladies Benevolent Aid Society
desires to express thanks to those
who contributed towards making
Thanksgiving happy one to many
in our town Especially do they ap-
preciate the help given by the little
children of the kindergarten, and by
the classes of Misses Sarah Cobb, Foy
Mott, Annie and Claude Mclaughlin,
in the Public Schools.
The generous contributions of
fruit, nuts, crackers, sugar and coffee
and bread, enabled the Society to
cheer and gladden. the hearts of more
than two score people.
We wish to remind the charitably
disposed people of Americus that
there are six or seven helpless in
valids, who are in need of comforts,
that no doubt can be supplied by
some who will perhaps not have to
make a great sacrifice to do this.
There is need of a bedstead, two
mattresses, some quilts, blankets,
sheets, pillow cases, and ladies night
clothing. Any one wishing to give
either of these articles, can COM
municate with Mrs S. H. Hawkins,
Mrs. E. A. Hawkins, Mrs. Fred Ar
thur, or Mrs. E. p Morgan, who will
see that they are properly distribut-
ell.
1t is deemed sufficient only to men
ton these facts, feeling assured that
God will incline the hearts of some of
our good people to suppl these needs.

CONF FIDENCE
We Back Our Statement With Our
Personal Reputation and Money.

We are so positive that we can cure
no matter how chronic
it may be, that we offer to furnish
the medicine free of all cost if We
fail
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
make constipation more chronic Be-
sides, their use becomes a habit that
is dangerous and often fatal
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex-
pect a cure you must therefore tone
up and strengthen those organs and
restore them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active princi-
pie of our remedy involved the labor
of the worlds greatest research chem
lists. 1t possesses all the best quail
tiles OF the remedial active principles
of the best known intestinal tonics
and it is particularly prompt in its
results.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on cur guarantee. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They act directly
on the nerves and. the muscles of the
bowels. They have neutral actor
on other organs and glands. They dt
not purge or cause any Inconvenience
whatever. They will positively cur,
chronic or habitual constipation ant
the myriads of associate or dependen
chronic ailments. Try Rexall Orde
lies at our risk. Two sizes-25c ant

DASH FOR LIBERTY is
MADE BY PRISONER
thought Leg Bail Better
Than Lawyer.

Isaah Singletary was to have been
tried yesterday morning upon the
charge of murder but his motion for
continuance, coupled with his ac-
celebrated motion towards Muckalee
swamp, took precedence, and the case
goes over until Ike comes back.
However, Ikes Christmas pres
ents will not be saved for him with
any such expectation.
1t was bold dash for liberty that
Singletary made, but a successful
one, and he was out of Jail and gone
almost before his speedometer got
in motion
Deputy Sheriff Fuller had gone
into the jail to feed the prisoners,
when his attention was called for q
moment to some other section of the
tier of cells. But Singletary saw
the opportunity, desperate though it
seemed, and dashed out of the Jail.
Instantly, the other prisoners were
locked in any pursuit given the flee
ing jailbird, who by this time was
well out into the city. There, no
doubt, he was quickly hidden away
by friends, as is so frequently done
despite the enormity of the crime.
Singletary shot out the brains of a
negro girl on the Patton place, near
Americus, somes time since. He was
attempting to shoot his wife, it is
understood, when the gun was knock
ed up by a bystander, and the deadly
charge striking the child instead.
Singletary was quickly overpower-
ed by negroes present and brought
to jail by an officer, only to escape
for the time, at least.

REV. BASC0M ANTHONY
OFF TO CONFERENCE
Practically Assured That
He viii Be Returned.

Rev Bascom Anthony, pastor of the
First Methodist church, left yester-
day at noon for Quitman. to attend the
annual session of the South Georgia
conference. He was accompanied by
a number of other ministers from
this section, who found it convenient
to start from Americus
1t is practically assured that Dr.
Anthony will be returned to Americus.
Precedent, preference and the wishes
of the congregation all unite toward
that end. Not only the members of
the First church desire the return of
DR.. Anthony, but this wish is hear
tily seconded by large floating
church attendance, which enjoys the
discourses frequently.
Among the things to be reported at
the conference by DR.. Anthony will
be a membership of about 775 for
the church This is slightly below the
figures for last year, but the active
membership has made a gain. About
rs new members have been added. On
the other hand the list has been purg-
ed of names of those who have moved
away or have given up church atten-
dance.
For the cause of foreign missions
the church has contributed during the
year about $500, as compared with a
little over $500 last year. AS stated
at the services Sunday night, the
pastor believes that this figure can
be greatly exceeded during the COM
ing year.
AS already stated in these columns,
DR.. Anthony is very sanguine that he
will be given an assistant by the con-
ference, a man who will aid in city
mission work as well as in the more
direct duties Of the First church.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential TO permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy OF
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
ON which It acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co.. only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

FIELD PEAS IN DEMAND
BUT PRICE Is DOWN

Americus produce dealers are hand
ling field peas in considerable guam
titles just now, as the crop is being
gathered and marketed, but quota
tions are far below those of last
season. Last year the pea crop
was largely neglected by the farmers,
who preferred to pick their cotton,
worth II IL cents per pound, and in
consequence the price of peas scared
to 50 and $3.50 per bushel This sea-
son conditions are changed A lar
ger pea crop was planted, and the
weather for gathering them has been
ideal with the result that prices have
dropped to so cents and ST. per bushel.
Quotations yesterday from New Or
leans were S1.15 per bushel f. 0. b.
there, while it costs 16 cents per
bushel freight, from Americus, and 5
cents for saeking, which would shade
the price to about 80 cents here. New
Orleans is the largest pea market in
the country, and reports great
crop this year. Prices will go higher
in the early spring, but not now.

23 CITIZENS TO ELECT

Interest in Americus is felt in the
city election to take place this week
in Cuthbert, where a most unusual
condition of affairs exists as the re-
suit of Indifference upon the part of
the people in registering their names
for the regular election.
The majority trusted altogether to

The present mayor and council
were candidates at the primary and
were nominated without opposition.
The registration books closed few

teen of these are opposed to the present
city officials and declare they will
put an Independent ticket in the field,

Ten shows are included in the

spread it's tents along Hampton street
back of Parker's warehouse yester-

number visited the attractions, while
at night the crowd was large. In
one of the tents Prof. Curly Wilson

species of animals is introduced at a

AN EVENING WITH
EXQUISITE MUSIC
Olive Mead Quartet De-
lights Enthusiastic House

Nearly three hundred music lovers
gathered at Miss Bells Pianforte
School at the first concert of the
four arranged for this season. 1t was
an audience whose expectation had
been raised to high pitch. In not a
single respect was it disappointed
The Olive Mead Quartet amply sus-
tanned the reputation that preceded it
for brilliant work. There were but
six numbers on the program, but
they had been carefully selected to
not only furnish variety but to give
the players a full field in which to
display the wondrous sweetness of
the instruments handled by them and
their own masterful technique Dur
ing each number the audience that
filled the hall to it's capacity was
encha1ned by the wonderful magic of
the music. The power OF the violin
to sweep the soul with its express
sions of sentiment was displayed, as
it has seldom, if ever before, been in
Americus. The concert throughout
was distinct triumph for the ladies
of the quartet, compliment to the
good taste of the music lovers of
Americus, and a we'll deserved sue
cess for Miss Bell and Mrs. Craw-
ford Wheatley. through whose unset
fish efforts the series of entertain
ments for this winter has been pro-
vided.
Last evenings concert was an hour
and half of exquisite delight to all
lovers of music in it's highest perfec-
ton. Accepting this as setting the
standard for the future concerts il
can be easily seen that the remaining
three will be of such character that
any one who is at all a devotee of
music will lose three evenings of
charming entertainment if advantage
is not taken of the opportunities they
will afford to hear the finest talent
the country presents.
The Olive Mead Quartet is assured
of an enthusiastic welcome in the
event of its returning at any time to
Americus. Such a concert as last
evenings justifies the praise that has
been showered upon it in every city
it has visited.

LOST WATCH AND RING
EN- ROUTE TO DEPOT


Mrs J. S. Bridges, while upon a
shopping tour in Americus yesterday,
was so unfortunate as to lose a
handsome gold watch and diamond
ring, the latter being attached to the
watch fob. Mrs. Bridges was en-
route to her home in Ellaville in
the afternoon when she discovered
her loss. The train was stopped at
point two miles above Americus,
the lady debarking therefrom and
walking back to the city to institute
search for her lost treasures In the
meantime the watch and ring had
been picked up on the streets by G..
H Kennedy, wellknown colored
man of Andersonville, who at once
brought the lost articles to the Times
Recorder Office to be advertised, and
was informed of their real ownership.

EXCITEMENT HAS

Reports from Ellaville yesterday
we're to the effect that the excitement
of Friday over the reported intrusion
of a negro man into the home of Mrs.
Andrew Sellars, near that city, had
practically subsidized. After large
party had searched for many hours
for the alleged offender, it developed
that Mrs Sellars was not sure that
the intruder was a negro, nor had she
actually seen any person. In view of
this uncertainty, the chase was aban-
doned.
