MONDAY THE CHILDREN
TO TROOP TO SCHOOL
Everything in Readiness for
Opening of the Term.

The school holidays are over. From
one end of the city to the other the
children are preparing for the nine
months siege of studies just ahead for
them. Monday they will be organized
and Tuesday the routine of the school
rooms will re-established for the term
that then begins in earnest.
Down at the Furlow High School
everything is in readiness for the re-
ception of the regiment of youngsters
that will march upon it from all sec
tions of the city early Monday morn
ing. Over in the little building by
Reese Park things are also in shape
for the classes that are taught there.
Nothing has been overlooked that
would ensure that the schools will be
in readiness for their important work.
The school term opens Monday, at
$3.50 o'clock. The mass of the chill
dren will all be dismissed within a
half hour, in all probability. All that
will be done with them will be to
assign them their seats, give them
their lessons for Tuesday, and send
them trooping home again
Those who have been delinquent in
their work and have studied during
the summer, with the idea of securing
promotion, will be examined on Mon
day for that purpose. New pupils will
also have their grade qualifications
looked into. This will keep the teach
ers busy during the greater part of
the day.
There will be two new teachers in
the staff this year. Mr.. J. N. Haddock
for the past two years superintendent
of the LumDkin school, will be princi-
pal of the High School, He comes
highly recommended. Then there will
be Mr. w. R. Kennedy, principal of
the commercial department, the ino-
walton that has been made to meet the
demands of the times. Miss Whitaker,
who last year was assistant in the
High School work, will this year teach
the fifth grade.
Over six hundred children have so
far registered and by Monday it is not
unlikely that the number will be in
creased by hundred. There will be
the usual array of late comers, run
ming this up considerably during the
next fortnight
Exactly how many will take the
commercial course is not yet known.
Quite number have expressed their
desire to do so, but the number who
intend to give up Latin for the new
branches is not as great as was an
ticipated. Still there will be an ample
number to keep Prof Kennedy busy
and the department assigned to him is
apt to increase in interest and import
ance throughout the year.

WORTH MILLION A WORD
THIS BIT OF PAPER
Hartman Will BriefeSt of
Kind Known.

New York, Sept. ia hundred
brief words, weighted each with ap-
proximately $1,OO0,OOO, and contain
ing in their entirety the last testa-
ment of E. H. Hartman. make his
widow, Mary Averell Hartman, one
of the wealthiest women in the world
1t is perhaps the briefest will on rec
ord for the disposal of an estate of
such magnitude. All his property is
left to Mrs. Hartman.
Wall street estimates that Mrs Har-
riman will inherit, in realty and per-
sonal property, between $75,00O,O00
and $1OO,OOOOOO.
Mr.. Harriman's private fortune is
supposed to have been greater than
this by many millions, but there is
reason to believe that his unmarried
daughters, Mary and Carol, his mar
ried daughter, Mrs. Robert Living
ston Gerry, and his two sons, William
Averell and Roland, a boy of IA, to-
gether with his sister, Mrs. Simons,
and other relatives, have all been sub
stantially provided for.
The will is dated June s, 1903, and
is witnessed by Charles A. Peabody,
president of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, who drew it, and G.
c. Tegethoff.
Mr.. Peabody was Mr.. Hartman s
close personal friend and was fire.
quently caller at Arden house dur
ing his last illness. He relinquished
a law practice commonly estimated as
worth 100000 a year, to assume at
smaller salary the executive direction
of company in Which Mr. Hartman
was heavily interested Mr.. Tegethoff
was Mr.. Harriman's private secre-
tary.
Mrs. Hartman was Miss Mary Av-
erell, daughter of w. J. Averell, a
wealthy banker of Rochester, N. Y.
who made his money in the Rome
WatertoWn and Ogdenburg Railroad
| Company.

COMMITTEE TO TAKE UP
COTTON MILL PROJECT
Will Make Effort to See
Where Citizens Stand.

One more effort is to be made on the
cotton mill project.
Now that there is not the summer
excuse of many business men being
out of the city, or money being tight,
it is felt that one good determined ef-
fort should be made to see what can
be done toward securing subscriptions
for the proposed mill.
To that end Chairman Frank Lanier
will probably call the committee to-
gether within few days. On the com
mittee are Messrs. Council, Harold,
Smith, Lanier, Sheffield.
1t is probable that the committee
will decide to make sufficient can
yass to settle the q~estion as to
whether it is possible to raise an ade-
quate amount here to insure the erec-
ton of a good sized mill OF course
fully half the money to be put into the
mill would come from outside sources.

A LICENSE TO MARRY
IS EASY TO OBTAIN.
No Oath of Groom Is Needed in This
State.

Because under the Georgia law no
oath as to the age of the contracting
parties has to be taken in securing
marriage l&ense Judge John A.
Cobb is not apt to follow the action
of the Maryland judge, who sentenced
a young man to four years impris-
onment for falsifying as to the age of
his bride. The story was told in the
Associated Press dispatches yester-
day. The contracting parties even
do not have to get the license in
Georgia as it can be secured for them
by someone else. The ordinary has
to depend on their being truthful in
the matter, for they are not required
to take oath as to the ages. Giving
wrong ages is something that has
not yet given any troble.

Peruna Tablets Tested.

What are the Peruna Tablets good
for? Has anybody used them enough
to know what they will do? Read the
following letter and see. If you have
any doubt as to the genuineness of the
letter, write to Mrs. Lohr. enclose q
stamp for reply, and see whether her
testimonial is genuine or not:
Ravenna, Mich, June Is, 1908.
The Peruna Drug Co.
In regard to the Peruna Tablets. 3
have used about ten boxes in all.
While l was in Chicago my oldest
daughter was bothered with q cough
all the time. She has had it for four
years. Sometimes it would go away.
and in the winter time it was so bad
that the doctors and professors said
that she had consumption, and the only
way to give her any relief was to per-
form an operation.
/ spend so much money for differens
medicines, and for doctors also. Moth
ing seemed to help her.
So saw the Peruna Tablets adver-
tised in the paper, and l got box
and tried them. She could get sonlo
sleep by taking them. She would bouf,
all night and cough. SO in all she tool,
six boxes, and never was bothered any
more.
l will leave this for any one to in
quire at our old residence, where we
lived in Chicago. All our neighbors
would say that she could not live with
such a cough. You don't know how
thankful am. She is eighteen years
old.
My oldest son also was bothered with
his stomach, throwing up, and his
bowels so loose all the time. He was
all run down for four months. also
doctored with him. One would saw this
and the other something else. l Istarted
in to give him the Tablets, and now he
is all right and healthy looking. He
took four boxes. That is. all he wants
to take whenever anything aiIs him.
So praise your Tablets just as high
as l have your Peruna. That is all
the medicine that ever comes in my
house. Whenever travel take some
with me. L have had three of my chill
dren sick with scarlet fever two months
ago, and that is all used, was the Pc
runa and the Tablets. l did not lose
any of them.
If there is any more information you
want, why just let me know and / will
be glad to do so. Yours truly,
Mrs. L. LoHR, Ravenna, Mich.

THE JEFFERSONS TO COME
SOON TO AMERICUS.
FayOrites VIII Appear Shortly in "The
Henrietta

Americus play-goers, and especial
ly the large number who enjoyed the
appearance Of the Jeffersons here last
season in THE Rivals" have greater
treat in store when they come again
to Americus ten days hence-29th-
in Bronson Howard's famous comedy,
THE Henrietta"
Both of the Jefferson boys will have
parts in ''The Henrietta" which will
permit the fullest display of their
talents.
The character of "Old Nick" which
will be portrayed by Joseph Jefferson,
is a complex collection of all the hui
man emotions and runs the entire
gamut from the lightest of comedy to
dramatic situation that can only
be handled by such an actor as Mr..
Jefferson.
William w. Jefferson will portray
"Bertie, the Lamb
This character is an exclusively
comedy creation and in such capable
hands as Willie Jefferson's, it should
be screamingly funny. Mr.. Jefferson
has been fortunate in being allotted
many great comedy parts, yet in spite
of this fact, it can be said that never
before has he had such glorious fun
making possibilities as in ''The Hen
rietta'
The supporting company is fully in
keeping with the high standard hith-
erto maintained by the Jefferson boys
The company includes several theatri-
cal celebrities of note and every one
of the many parts will be in the hands
of carefully chosen artist

RAINS ARE GENERAL NOW
ALL OVER THE COUNTY.
No Benefit to Cotton But Helps Other
Traps.

A refreshing rain in Americus yes
terday settled the dust and cooled
the still torrid midday atmosphere.
In several sections of Sumter county
copious rains have fallen this week,
particularly in the neighborhood of
Leslie and DeSoto, where it had been
bone dry for six weeks. Rain now
is of no benefit whatever to the cotton
crop, and injuries the open cotton in
stead of benefting the plant, but it
will to some extent help the cane and
potato crops and fall gardens.
