be ready. He gives the word and YOU
give the board vigorous push alight-
ing on 1T easily with the recent practise
you have had. Then something comes
UP behind you and the first thing
you are swishing along at ter
rible speed with the roar of foaming
waters IN your ears and the first crazy
delight of success seething in your
brain.
l suppose that the man who hears
the call of Author for the first time,
the man who notes the mystic sign
Senior Wrangler" against his namg
on the door, or the ail-booted climber
who reaches some frst-climbed peak,
feel pretty good, but commend me to
the sensation that comes when you hit
the first wave properly on a surfboard.
If Only Tt Would Last.
The, speed is great, much greater
than most people imagine; but the sen
sation of speed is increased out of all
proportion by the rush and roar of the
water round you. You seem to be go
ing hundred miles an hour, and the
beach rushes at you until it seems that
you will certainly rise and skim through
the air over to the mountains The
figures of the other suffers who are
struggling out for another start flash
by you like telegraph poles on the rail
road seen from the windows of an ex-
press train, and, when the wave at last
dwindles out, you feel the same sense
of something gone out as when Kube-
Xix passes his last caress over his fiddle
strings.
And Then the Big Surf.
Afterward, when you have learned
to steer and hoe vehemently without
floating OH the board, you go out to the
big surf. While a trife alarming at
first, this is really much easier than
the small surf. You do not stand on
| the ground, as the water is too deep,
bat lie on your board and, when a good
wave comes along, hoe hard to give
yourself way enough to make the
| wave carry you along.
Take it easily at first; get one of the
fourth variety to show you how to do
it; make up your mind to keep cool,
and you will find surfriding the most
exhilarating and the most healthpro-
ductive of sports. But carry the big
/ motto with you-'fNil desperandum
Cfcerono duce.''

AMtRlCUS BOY WINS IN
SUIT FOR LARGE SUM
Suit Settled BY Agreement
Yesterday.

The suit for $25,OOO brought by
Charles Shy of Americus, against the
Southern Railway for personal dam
ages in being run over by a train Of
defendant company, was settled al
Macon yesterday morning through
plaintiffs attorneys. Col. w. t. Lane
and Attorney Hall of Macon.
The case was about to go to trial
when the settlement offered by the de-
fendant company, through attorneys
was accepted.
The amount agreed upon by counsel
for both sides was not announced for
publication, but was several thousand
dollars-a sum sufficient to insure the
boy an education and support until 21.
and home thereafter as we'll.
Col. Lane returned in the afternoon
from Macon where he went to repre-
sent his client in the trial set for yes
terday in the superior court.
Young Shy had an arm cut off in
the early summer while in the employ
of the company as call boy. He had
just gone to work for the Southern
employing his time there while not en-
gagged at school. While walking upon
the tracks he was run over and his
severed ?
The terms of settlement, as ar
ranged yesterday were said to be
satisfactory both to the plaintiff and
the defendant company

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
An Awful Toll Collected by COnsump-
tiCn-Many Unnecessary Deaths
From This Disease.

If people could only understand
that systemic catarrh is an internal
disease that external application can
not cure, they would not need to be
warned so often about this malady,
which, when neglected paves the way
oftentimes for consumption, at the
cost of millions of lives every year.
Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by a general dis
eased state of the system which leads
commonly to annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions, which may
prove fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External rem
edies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine,
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or inter
nal lining of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infec-
tion of consumption and other dis
eases.
We have remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
tarrh a specially, and whose record
was patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexall Mucu-Tone We are so
positive that it will completely over
come catarrh in all its various forms,
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny paid
us for the medicine in every case
where it fails or for any reason does
not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes,
SO cents and $1.00. Very often the
taking of one 50-cent bottle is suffi-
cient to make a marked impression
upon the case. OF course in chronic
cases a longer treatment is necessary.
The average in such instances is
three $100 bottles. Remember you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in Amer
icus only at our store-The Rexall
Store. Dodson's Pharmacy

Another important land sale report
ed yesterday. of many recently effect
ed here, was that of small farm Of
80 acres sold by Mr.. William E.
Mitchell to Mr. Jesse Faust at the
round sum of $4,000, or practically
$50 Fer acre. Mr.. Mitchell was net

doubtless authentic, as the land is of
high quality and desirable withal 1t

ericus and upon one of Sumter's "gocd
roads" hence the premium price of
$50 per acre-the highest price, per-
haps, ever paid for farming lands in
Sumter. The sale of lands here now
is phenomenal, and at prices ranging
from $25 to $50 per acre. Several
lesser sales have been made during
the past two or three days in trans
actions of $4,000 to $4,000. One fine
plantation of 500 acres, offered few
weeks ago ath $25 per acre, has since
been withdrawn from the market, the
owner stating yesterday that he would
not sell it now even for $50 per acre.

Court Orders Its ACCep.
tanCe BY Receiver.

Fifty-six thousand, six hundred dol

terday with Receiver Crawford Wheat

and unless valid reasons to the con-
trary are made in the interim the
acceptance of this bid will be formal
ly and finally confirmed by the court
on Saturday next.
Three bids were filed with the re-
ceiver, that for $56.6OO being consid-
cred the most favorable. The two
other bids were for $4,000 and $53,-
100 respectively.
Upon the stroke of II, noon, Receiv-
er Wheatley took the three sealed bids
and hastened to Ellayille, where Judge
Littlejohn gave the following order re-
and presented them for his consider
alton and confirmation.
After looking over the bids Judge

The meaning of this is, that unless
sufficient legal reason be shown to
the contrary, the sale of the hotel
will then be confirmed.
Will objections-valid objections
to the sale be filed in the interim? is
an interesting question.
1t is rumored that one of the larg-
est stockholders in the hotel COM
pany is unfavorable to the sale, ex-
cept upon certain terms named, but
this may be unfounded. Possibly
terms of agreement can be arrived at.

confirmation of sale will be made
Saturday.
Untf1 the sale is confirmed the name
or names of the successful bidder will
probably not be known. The success
full bid was filed by real estate man
here. representing other parties,
whose names do not appear upon the
bid. and he so far declines, for good
reasons. to reveal their identity as
yet.
If the sale of the property at $685.
600 is confirmed, the entire indebted
ness of the hotel company will be can
celed and about $1,000 left for the
stockholders.

WILLIAMS AT HEAD OF
SEABOARD ASSURED.
Ills Success Has Created
Little Surprise.

In Americus, as elsewhere in the
territory of the Seaboard system
there is little surprise in the an
nouncement given out two days age
from New York that John Shelton
Williams, former president of the
company, was again in control, an
end long sought and now accomplish
ed, or nearly so.
Ever since Mr.. Williams was ousted
by Thomas F. Ryan it has been gen.
orally known that Mr.. Williams
sought control of the road.
In railway circles the opinion is
that there will be numerous changes
mainly in the heads of the various
departments, with the return of the
control of John Shelton Williams. Nc
changes of consequence are expected
in the operating and transportation
departments.
Whenever there have been appoint
ments by Mr.. Williams successor q
change may be expected. 1t will, oi
course, take some time to make all
the changes anticipated, as the pres
ent men cannot be replaced at a mo-
ment's notice. Nothing will be done
toward electing a president until the
meeting on November H.
The report that the receivership
will end about the first of November
is gaining strength in Americus
Close after the receivership is wound
up the election of Mr.. Williams as
president is looked for, though a few
are of the opinion that Mr.. Williams
will not hold the office long, but will
close out his interests.
However, this is not regarded as
the course that will be pursued by
those who have been watching the af-
fairs of the Seaboard for years.
Instead of Mr. Williams giving up
the road it is believed he will devote
his time to the improvement of the
road in every way possible. Whether
he will consolidate his Georgia lines
or continue to operate them separ-
ately is a question that is debated
along with others in connection with
the changes.
Upon all lines the improvement of
the property is expected.

ga feature of the tour which was
| watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in Its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly. the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what.
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the trir
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily ant
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

The Longest Pipe Line.

Pipe line connections have been
completed by which it is possible to
pipe oil from the Oklahoma wells to
New York harbor. Oil has been
started on the long journey of 1900
miles. This is the longest pipe line
in existence in the United States, and
indeed in the world. 1t is not prob
able that much oil from the mid-con-
tinent district will be brought to the
seaboard at present, and the compile
ton Of the line seems to be more in
the nature of a provision for the fut-
ure, or for emergencies which may
arise. Oklahoma has the most active
oil field in the country at present;
moreover its production is increasing,
while that of Pennsylvania and West
Virginia is decreasing. 1t may not be
long before the Western wells will be
called upon to supply the seaboard
and export demand.-Americ Ma
