Another Phase.

No person can say with absolute au- thority just where the line between de- cision of character and undesirable ob- stinacy should be drawn, but many persons attempt to do it.
 +I like my wife's prompt decisions as to what she'd better do," said the husband of Mrs. Orlando Jones, "and I admire the frmness with which she settles all disputed matters for the children, but the surprising obstinacy which she displays concerning my af- fairs is constant surprise to me. It seems so out of character"

DOW LOSES 30
 FOOT "SMILE' Much Damage Done By Storm at Walnut and
 Laurel Beaches YAcHTSMEN ARE IN PERIL.
YACHTSMEN ARE IN PERIL

The heavy rainfall and the storm of the last three days was followed this afternoon by a. little welcome sunshine. An astonishingly small amount of dam age was done along the coast between
 this city and New Haven despite the high tides and the severity of the storm. Walnut Beach suffered more than any of the other beaches appar- ently. Fair weathet is predicted for tomorrow.
 The storm played havoc with the shore front along Walnut and Laurel beaches where a number of Bridgeport ers are stopping for the summer. The board walk above the bulwarks along Walnut beach were ripped off and cottages, while the sand beneath was
 carried away to other parts of the
 beach. The tide was at it's height
 about noon yesterday. the waves dash
 ing over the board walks. The tide was so high that it was possible for
 swimmers who dared get out to dive from the walk into the water. But
 none took the chance, as they would
 be driven back by the waves upon the
 walk.
 During the morning the 30 foot motor boat, '.The Smile, owned by Albert w. Dow, superintendent of the Spring. Perch Company, who has a cottage on
 Broadway, in Walnut beach, dragged it's anchor and was smashed to pieces. The craft was purchased only this year, being valued at about $500. The pier in front of tn ecottages at Laurel beach was washed most of the time,
 but managed to withstand the ele- ments.
 Within sight of the cottagers along
 Walnut and Laurel beaches all day

Walnut beach, for the summer. were pounded by the waves of Long Island Sound, while their frail craft, with it's engine broken, could not make harbor. It was early Monday morning when they left Walnut beach intending to
 go up the Housatonic river. When the
 engine gave out and they were obliged to cast anchor.
 It was not until 10 o'clock yesterday
 that Amos Thompson of Milford Point started for the rescue in a dory. The attempt to reach the duo was entirely successful, but the storm prevented Thompson's return. At noon another rescuing party including Louis Brown of Fourth street, this city, Walter Merwin and Alfred Baldwin of Walnut
 beach set out in a dory with provis- ions for the men who had been with out food for almost 30 hours. It was
 with great difficulty that the dory
 was started, but the efforts of the
 three were enabled to combat the fury of the buffeting waves. The launch
 was finally reached and the return to the shore was made. The WrlghtS were taken to their home in Walnut beach after an experience which they will not care to repeat.

PAYROLLS NORMAL AGAIN IN MERIDEN

Meriden, Aug. 18.-No better evil dence that the so-called hard times nave gone by than that furnished by the local factories in regard to the factory payrolls. When business is dull in the shops the pay rolls show it at once.
 According to statements made today by the officials of the National banks the pay rolls have been gradually in creasing. Until now they have reach ed their normal condition or as they were before the hard times set in.
 There has also been a decided in crease in the matter of savings bank deposits and many new accounts have been started.

Snow Banners.

In the Sierra Nevada mountains, when conditions are favorable for the display, there occurs Q beautiful and startling phenomenon of nature. At times when the wind drives up the mountain sides in a certain direction and with sufficient velocity there stream out upon the air snow banners from hundred mountain peaks. They are formed by the circling wind acting upon the light snow and are thick and dark at the top Of the mountain, Ike . fagstan. then they float away broad ly for a mile in length in waves of iridescent light. This magnifcent dis play is rarely seen by other >eyes than those of savages, but sometimes it has been the good fortune of naturalist to witness 1t when among the wild beauties of the mountain fastnesses.

4 PUBLIC BENEFIT
Americas People Greatly Interested In
the Generous Offer of DOds0n's
Pharmacy.

The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust
man who is naturally honest than one
who Is honest only because he had to
be.
Dodson's Pharmacy have a firmly
established reputation for square deal
ing and sterling honesty. When they
told the people that ReEall Remedies
are the purest and most dependable
medicine that it is possible for modern
science to produce, and that they
would tell the public what each one OF
these 300 or more remedies contained,
and that they sold Rexall Remedies on
their personal guarantee that they
would give entire satisfaction or they
would not cost the user single cent,
they were believed.
Ever since this announcement Dod-
sons Pharmacy has been largely pat
ronized by people buying Rexall Rem
edies all of which proves that this
oIOAS ufS tue COhHueuCS VI the peOpiS
and that honesty is the best policy
There is no "cure-all" among the
Rexall Remedies. There are different
and separate medicines, each one de-
vised for certain human ailment or a
class of ailments closely allied For
instance Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are
recommended for the positive relief of
stomach irritation, indigestion, fatul-
ency and dyspepsia. They are rich in
Bismuth-Subnitrate, Pepsin and Car
minatives. They are prepared by spec
ial process which perfect and enhance
the great remedial value of these we'll
known medicinal agents. This rem
edy sells for 25 cents, so cents, and
$1.00 per package. Every one suffer-
ing from stomach disorder should try
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, inasmueh
as they cost nothing if they do not
satisfy.
Remember, Dodson's Pharmacy is
the only store in .Americus where
these remedies may be obtained. anl
every one is urged to investigate and
take advantage of the frank and gea-
erous manner in which they are sold.

NEW RECORD MADE IN

More Children in Attend
anCe Than tyer Before.

One hundred and thirty children
are now enrolled in the Americus
High School, the largest in the his
tory of that institution. Heretofore
the height of the roll has been 800
The fact that this year this has been
passed and new record established
is very gratifying to Supt Miller ana
the corps of teachers. 1t indicates
an awakening interest on the part of
parents and more of a desire to take
advantage OF the opportunities for a
higher education than Is furnished
in the lower grades. 1t is regarded
as sign that the number of pupils
when the new High School building il
completed and the work carried on
under more advantageous environ
ments will show steady increase
every yeaF. .Ia fact, supt.@ KILLER
looks for at least an enrolment of $50

New York, Dec. S.--Amid scenes OF
wild excitement on the New York Cot
ton Exchange prices broke all records
today for this seasons movement, and
two options reached the highest point
touched since Daniel j. Sulley made
his futile attempt to corner the cotton
market some years ago
The upward rush was started by the
very bullish report on the amount of
cotton ginned up to recent time. The
cry OF 20-csnt cotton was again rails
ed by the bull clique, believed to be
headed by James A. Patten, the Chi
cago specuiator. May sold at 1880
and July 15.35c, an advance of 16 and

with reference to the long held up

AS is we'll known, although the races
were run some weeks ago nothins
has been heard from the Albany com
mittee, in whose hands the matter Of
the awarding Of the prize was placed.
L was thought that perhaps the COM
mittee was postponing the award
because of the fact that the money was
not in hand. This, however, appears
to be without foundation,
In his letter to Chairman Sheffield
Mr. Howell states that the $500 i
awaiting the decision of the comm.s-
tee and that as soon as 1t is announced
the check will be forwarded to the
county commissioners Of Sumter or
such other county as may be awarded
the prize.
Mr.. Howell also stated that he
would take the matter up with the
Albany committee and urge prompt
action on It's part.

seems somewhat iuexplicable 1t is
