The first shipment OF livestock

from beyond Lawyers canyon was
made yesterday from Cottonwood. a
trainload of hogs and cattle being
consigned to the Seattle firm OF
Frye-Bruhn company. The shipment
was special concession made by
the railroad company because of the
Inability of stockmen to make the
long delivery of the fattened stock
over the frozen reads and it is stat
ed does not signify the road has
been opened to general livestock
trafic.
It was generally expected by the
stockmen and buyers that the open
Ing of the lewiston n-Grangeville line
would include the livestock ship
ments, and arrangements were made
to make heavy shipments over the
new road as soon as opened. The an
nouncement that such shipments
would MOI be received compelled the
stockmen to make their deliveries at
the Clearwater shipping points. and
while greater expense was incurred
IN these deliveries. considerable
swing was made In freight charges.
The recent cold weather has practi-
eally closed the roads to the delivery
" fat stock, especially where long
srives are necessary. and the stock

VICTIM OF HOTEL FIRE
KNOWN IN AMERICUS
Mr.. Deviney Has Friends in
AmGriCuS.

The press dispatches yesterday
morning gave details of the disastrous
hotel fire in Fort Wayne, Ind, in
which probably a score of people lost
their lives. The list of the known
dead, contained that of Mr.. j. w.
Deviney, travelling salesman for a
Philadelphia hardware house. Mr.
Deyiney is we'll known to many citi-
zens and merchants of Americus,
where he has come often in years
past, and these regret his tragic
death His wife is a former resi-
dent of Cuthbert, Miss Hood, and also
we'll known in social circles in Am
ericus and throughout south Geor-
gia The hotel was erected half
century ago and the wood work was
dry as tinder. Within a few minutes
from the time the fire was discovered
the interior of the hotel was a mass
of flames and the only avenue Of es
cape was by the window. The de-
partment rescued many of the guests
by means of ladders, but some, fren-
zied by the rush of flames, leaped
from the windows to the street.

ADIEU TO AMERICUS Is
SAID ON THURSDAY
When SeabOard 9th Division
Offices Leave.

Out at the Seaboard shops yester-
ady men were busy getting ready the
furnishings, books, records, etc, of
the division headquarters, and early
Thursday morning, all of the para
phernalia will be shipped back to
Savannah again.
And thus for the second time AM
ericus loses that to which she was
justly entitled. <
Several years ago the headquarters
were thus put awheel and carried to
Savannah, which never contributed a
penny to the building of the road, and
little to its maintenance.
But by sheer strength she wins
again in the unequal fight.
Fourteen families, besides several
young men in the offices here, will
thus go away after a residence here
of eight months.
The division headquarters were
brought back here in August last
because Americus was the central
point of the division, and it could
be operated more cheaply here" The
position of Americus, geographically
has not since been changed
Several Of the employees express
Americus regrets to lose them.

SAYS FULTON Is GOING
BROWN BY BIG VOTE
AmeriCuS Man Writes of
Situation There.

An Americus merchant received a
letter yesterday from a former citi-
zen OF Americus, but for several years
past resident of Atlanta, touching
upon the political situation there. AS
regards the Brown-Smith race, he gave
it as his opinion that Brown would
carry Fulton county by at least three
thousand majority, and maybe by an
even larger vote. The people of At
lanta, he says, and more especially the
working classes, hundreds of whom
are out of work and unable to get en-
ployment, are outspoken for a change
of administration and are lining up
solidly for Brown and bread The
writer of the letter was himself an
ardent Smith supporter two ~Sears
ago, but he says he is now eTerlast-
ingly for Brown and prosperity, as
are scores and dozens of young men,
merchants, statesmen, workingmen and
others who have felt that withering
blight of the past year in Georgia.

TO RETAIN FORMULA
WHICH HAS MADE A FORTUNE

i. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent Of all i'll health of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble, is fast winning a national
faith in his theory. His claim is now
admitted by a surprising number OF
people throughout the country and he
is gaining new adherents every day.
While speaking of his success in a
recent interview Mr.. Cooper said: 81
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom-
ach would have a fortune. When |
got hold of this formula | knew with
in six months that | was right, and
that my fortune was made | called

cine Company became the only firm in
the world that can prepare the medi-

First Baptist Has Settled
ThereupOn.

The First Baptist Sunday School
of Americus has abandoned the idea
Of an excursion to Macon, and instead
will have its annual picnic at Pros
pect Park on Friday, 18th. The rate
to Macon was deemed too high by
several Americus schools contemplat-
ing the union picnic there, and each
school will have it's picnic separate
ly, and several upon the same date,
the 18th inst, in which event the
public schools would no doubt de-
clare a holiday The First Baptist
has selected Prospect Park while
the First Methodist school will picnic
at Holly Springs. The Presbyterian
Sunday school it is understood, will
picnic at Myrtle Springs on Friday,
18th, while Furlow Lawn Baptist
school will picnic there one week
later, Friday 22nd. Calvary Episco-
pal Sunday school will have its picnic
next Thursday at Magnolia Dell, if
the weather is suitable.

DEPRECATED ABUSE
OF CANDIDATES
Rev. BaSCOm Anthony Said
1t Was OverdOn0.

In his sermon Sunday night at the
First Methodist church, Rev. Bascom
Anthony commented briefly on the
gubernatorial controversy He did
not take Sides but on the contrary
took a shot at the conduct of the sup
porters of each of the candidates for
Governor.
Its a mistake to put both O fthe
candidates down as absolute fools and
scoundrels," said DR.. Anthony, 81
am sure that if either Hoke Smith or
Joe Brown were your neighbor they
would measure up to the average at
least of a good citizen. You have a
right to be against a man for office,
but no right to vituperate and lie
about him. Yet l have heard both of
these candidates abused as if neither
had d particle of manhood. 1t just
won't do l owe it to Joe Brown and
Hoke Smith to be fair and just as
owe it to you. If you abuse the can
didates you should be able to lay your
finger on the spot wherein they Of
fend"
DR.. Anthony had for his theme,
"Partaking of Other Mems Sins"
Preliminary to the sermon he paid his
respects to certain persons who he
said had habit of getting up and 60
ing out of church during the service.
It's unheard of in civilized commun-
tiles, said the speaker, somewhat
caustically. 81 never saw it in this
wise in Georgia before"

RECEIPTS ARE WELL IN
EXCESS OF $4OO
Managers of Hospital Well
Pleased.

Four hundred dollars, and probably
a little more, is the result of tag
day" for the benefit of the Americus
Hospital and the Hepzibah Orphans
Home in Vineville, the latter institu-
ton, as stated, getting one fourth the
proceeds, about 500.
This was the statement given out
yesterday by the ladies now having
management of the hospital.
The success of tag day is due en-
tirely to the efforts of these noble wo-
men, and the liberality of the good
people here, nearly all of whom re-
sponded willingly to such worthy
cause
Contributors to this fund gave as
gladly towards the Hepzibah Home as
for the hospital. All here know it is
one of Georgias noblest charities, at
the head of which is an Americus
man, Rev T. w. Galloway, who is
striving to maintain it.
There innocent little babes, who
have no claim to parentage, are cared
for and reared under the purest and
best influence. Surely all were glad
to help the little home
The lady managers of the Americus
Hospital, since assuming full control
of it's affairs, are making a great sue
cess of it, as all knew full we'll they
would do. The income from the hos
pital paid current expenses during the

REDUCED ACREAGE
URGED ON FARMERS
President GinnerS' ASSOCi-
alton Gives Advice.

The following address to cotton
planters has been issued by President
J. A Taylor, of the National Ginners'
Association:
To the Cotton Planters:
have received so many letters en-
dorsing my efforts for reduction in
acreage from nearly every section of
the South that l have decided to con-
another article on similar lines that
will be carried by the Southern week
ly papers all during this month so
that every planter will have a chance
to read it. Cotton for October deliv-
cry sold this week at eight cents per
pound Can you produce it at a
profit at this price? No. Then in
order to get a profit on what you
raise this season you must plant less
than you intended planting at first.
Reports on the acrease issued so far
show that the acreage will be about 4
per cent larger than last year This
is probably due to the new farmers
that have settled in Oklahoma an
West Texas putting in SO much new
land. We must more than offset this
increase by reducing in the rest of
the belt.
| again state that the main cause
for the decline in prices is lack of
confidence caused by the fear of a
large crop and even lower prices than
at present. Do you want to grow a
crop at an actual loss? If not reduce
your acreage; then if your neighbor
persists in planting a large acreage
and you have to sell your crop at a
loss you lose less than he. If by re-
ducing you add $500, 900 to the
wealth of the South you will not only
receive a part of this but you can
feel that you did your part to add to
the prosperity of the country.
Is it good business to plant crop
where there is no profit in it,.
No. Then let every reader at ono
plant part of his present acreage in
tended for cotton in some feed crop,
or let the land lie idle one season as
you can get more money for the crop
grown on the part you do cultivate.
If you have it already planted do not
work it out as it will be labor thrown
away
Which do you prefer? TO plant your
present acreage and get from to
cents per pound or reduce it and
get II to Il cents and possibly high
er. The present contemplated acre
age and good weather means a return
to the old days of cheap cotton OF
ten years ago while reduced acre
age means a continuance of the pros
perity of the past few years.
Let every planter that reads this
at once make up his mind that he
will not berthe cause of Wall Street
bears fixing the price for your crop as
they will do with a large crop. &C
to work at once to reduce your OWL
acreage and see as many of your
neighbors as possible at once and
get a united action in this matter as
this is the only way we can be inde-
pendent and prosperous.
I urge every merchant and banker
throughout the South to advise their
customers to reduce their acreage as
it means a loss to you as we'll as tt
