Members of Congress Hot After MILEAGE

AS an evidence of the receptive dis
position on the part of the members
or congress it might be mentioned
that the representatives. voted them
selves each $125 eatra "stationerv al.
val soon after the beginning of
the extra session. A great many
or them do not spend more than SIS
or $2O a year on their stationery.
There are 391 members, four delegates
and three commissioners who NAV
draw this comfortable little additional
$l2o allowance, making 1913 all told.
The sum of this item. therefore. Is
$21,45O. Every employee of the CAP
ltol working force was granted an
extra months pay, and as the salaries
run all the way from $4,000 a year,
experts, to $50 a month for messen-
gers. and $3.50 a day for pages, the
sum total is a tidy one. The extra
pay OF the senate pages amounts to
$4,000 for the extra session. These
youngsters, Of whom there are 16.
are given $3.50 a day, reckoning 80
days a month.
The urgent deficiency bill carries a
number of the items due to the extra
session. Among them is one for
miscellaneous items, exclusive of la
Dor, $25,OOO." Who gets it is not di-
vulged in the bill. Another line In
the bill reads: ITO reimburse the Off
cial reporters of the proceedings and
debates of the senate for expenses
incurred during the first session of the
Sixty-first congress for clerk hire and
other clerical services, $3,24O.' The
official reporters of debates get S., 900

IMPROVED FRUIT JAR HOLDER
lts Use Enables the Housewife to
Handle R~eceptacIes While They
Are Hot.

Housewives who have burned their
fingers in handling hot fruit jars and
the Jars as a consequence will appre-
ciate the usefulness of the fruit jar
holder invented by a New Jersey man.
This holder consists of a flexible band
OF metal to surround the jar, with a
handle attached to one end of the
ban and having projecting pins to
engage hooks on the opposite end and
so tighten it about the jar that the
latter may be easily lifted from one
place to another with perfect safety

When MAKING Cookies.

In making cookies It is we'll to re-
member that the less they are han
died the better they will be, n for
this reason it is a good plan to roll
the cookies directly on creased sheets
of tin on which they can be baked.
Have the tinsmith cut out the pieces
of tin as large as your oven will
hold. After rolling out the dough
mark the cookies off with parallel
lines. The minute the cookies are ia
ken out of the oven they should be
cut into oblong pieces and taken off
the tin.

WEALTH OF WIZARD IS
HIGH IN THE MILLIONS
Friends Say Hartman Had
HaIf Billion.

What is the value of Mr.. Harri-
mans estate? This is evidently diff
ticult question to answer as intimate
friends of the financier admit they
would be unable to make a satisfac-
tory estimate of his real and personal
property holdings. Wall street bank
ers who have been associated with
Mr.. Hartman for years in his finan-
cial, railroad and stock market opera
tions vary widely in their guesses at
the extent of his fortune, and their
figures run all the way from $780,
100000 to $5OO,0OO,00O
1t is admitted that the bulk of Mr.
Harriman's fortune is in the form OF
securities, bonds and stocks. In adj
dition he owns valuable real estate in
New York City, while his country
mansion and land holdings at Arden
are estimated to be worth 81 900 900
He also has eX+"nsipe estates in Ore
gon.
While it is a difficult matter to gain
acurate information of the bond hold
ings of the Hartman estate, a fair
estimate is obtainable of the amounts
of stock owned by the financier, espe-
cialIy where such ownership is a mat
ter of record
There is on record with the Inter
state Commerce Commission in Wash
ington a list of the holdings of the
ten largest stockholders in the rail
road companies of the country. This
list gives the Hartman holdings in
seven large railroads as being worth
S156, 500 par value, the market
value naturally being much greater
At the same time it is necessary tC
point out that the heaviest holdings or
record in the name of Mr.. Hartman
| were held by him as trustee for the
Union Pacific Railroad and the South
ern Pacific, of which railroads he was
| at the head.
But there are in addition other Sc
| curity holdings of Mr.. Hartman il
railroads, banks, trust and steamship
! companies, which are not on recorC
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and which as a rule repre-
sented his personal investments. Mr.
Hartman probably owned more
stocks than any other man in thu
country In this connection it is nee
essary to recall his statement made a
the Interstate Commerce Commission
inquiry, when he said:
Il have been buying Union Pacifi,
| stock ever since l can remember"

SETTLED A MORTGAGE OF
FIFTEEN YEARS STANDING
Twelve Cents Cotton Is Bringing JOY
To Many.

AS a promoter of real joy, twelve
cents cotton has all other propositions
nailed to the mast, and is turning the
glad light into more homes here just
now than has ever been known in pre-
vious years.
Debts, even the frost bitten ones
hoary with age, are being paid with
money thus circulated.
Store accounts, bank notes, guano
bills and, in fact, all others except
newspaper subscription bills, are be-
ing cancelled.
Only a day or two ago the Times
Recorder told of one prosperous far
mer here who paid $4,000 to a local
firm for money and supplies used this
year, thus canceling his entire farm
Indebtedness.
Another citizen here who sold his
cotton at 121-2 cents has paid off the
mortgage upon his property, and is
thus out of debt probably for the first
time in a dozen years. High-priced
cotton did it all.
And others here as well could starr
an AVALANCHE of happiness by paying
their honest debts.

CHESTER LEE BROOKS Is
DEAD OF TYPHOID FEVER.
Family Near Americus Is SOreIy Al
fIicted.

Chester Lee Brooks, eldest son OF
Mrs. George Brooks, residing in the
Twenty-eighth district, five miles east
of Americus, died Saturday evening
of typhoid fever, the third member OF
this sorely afflicted family to die
quite recently.
The youth was about Is years of age
and was i'll with the dread fever but
short time.
The funeral was conducted at Pleas
ant Grove church Sunday afternoon
by Dew. James B. Lawrence, rector OF
Calvary church, and was attended
hv many friends.
Death has dealt heavily with this
family quite recently.
A few weeks ago the father, Mr.
George Brooks, died of typhoid. A
little babe soon followed with the
same malady Chester Brooks died
Saturday, and two other children are
now stricken with the fever and lie
at the point of death
Rarely has such affiiction fallen
upon family here, and the dread
end seems not yet.

TIN "KUNNELS" TO RIDE
IN PARADE AT FAIR
Glitter Will AStOniSh the
Natives.

Atlanta, Sept. 13.-The first official
appearance of Gov. Browns military
staff will take place on November S.
The new lieutenant colonels, twenty
eight of them. have procured their
uniforms and an abundance of gold
braid, and are now ready for anything
that comes along.
For them the visit to Georgia of
President Taft in November was most
fortunate.
Gov. Brown is an office governor,
he is not much on the running about,
having had eight months of that be-
fore his inauguration. But if he had
turned down the invitation to meet
President Taft in Augusta in Novem-
Der his staff would probably have re-
belled.
Such an occasion is too good to be
missed .a.
President Taft is going to give At
lanta the go-by on this trip. He will
take a cut straight across the state
entering at Columbus, passing through
Macon, in which cities he will spend
a few minutes each and then going
on to Savannah and Augusta for a
day each.
Taft could not refuse the invitation
of his former friends and neighbors
in Augusta to open the Georgia-Caro-
lima fair, so the fair opening awaits
his coming.
Both Governor Brown of Georgia
and Governor Ansel of South Carolina
will be there to welcome the presi-
dent, and the occasion will likewise
be graced by the military staffs OF
two states which will no doubt vie
with each other in the splendor OF
their glittering regalia.
1t is the new staff's first opportunity
and it is a cinch that it will make the
most of it.

FIRST ATTRACTION OF SEASON
COMES ON THURSDAY
"The WOlf'' Is the Opening Bill al
Opera House.

The advance sale of seats for the
opening attraction at the opera house,
"The Wolf" on Thursday night next,
10th, begins at 9 o'clock this morning
at Dodsons Pharmacy. This attrac-
ton will be one of the successes of
the season in Americus, as the great
play has proven elsewhere.
1t tells a tale of love and fierce
hatred in the Canadian woods, and
in the tensity of it's action and its
gripping power, it is said to be even
more powerful than Paid in Full"
The spirit of 1.-The Wolf is that OF
romance, and its atmosphere is that OF
the North. The story is delightfully."-
told and there are passages in it that
have the lift" of powerful imagina-
tive work.
The characterization, too, is good
particularly in the case of Jules Beau
bien, the French Canadian hero, and
Andrew MacTavish, the half-mad and
the wholly-fanatic Scotch dweller in
the solitudes.
One of these episodes is MacTav-
ish's outburst of inconsistencies for a
sight of Scotland Another is the pre-
lude to Jules wooing, a speech pour
ed into the ears of yellow-haired
naive Hilda, which is mellowed into
poetry by the charm of Andrew Rob
sons reading.
The work of Mr. Robson is said tc
be really noteworthy.

MAY SPLIT UP WEALTH
OF KING OF FINANCE
Vast Fortunes Are Divided
Among Heirs.

New York, Sept. 13-That the
piled-up wealth of the great captains
of finance will in time become sc
huge that all the rest of the country's
population will one day be dependent
upon few money kings is a cry often
raised by demagogues and others, but
the actual facts show that these vast
accumulations soon become widely
distributed and lose practically all of
their power with the second genera
ton
E. H. Hartman left a fortne of ap-
proximately $1OOOCO,0OO Under his

Cornelius $6,000,O00 of his share.
Jay Gould left $4,000, 900, and it
was divided among six children.
George, the eldest son, received the
largest share, and the other five chill
dren equal shares. All of them, with

FUNERAL OF Mr.. LINGO
is HELD ON MONDAY
Aged Citizen of AmeriCuS
Passes Away.

The funeral of Mr.. A. P. Lingo, who
passed away at 4 o'clock Sunday af-
ternoon, was conducted yesterday af-
ternoon at the same hour from the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. H. Egg
bert Allen, and attended by a large
concourse of friends, who thus united
in paying him final tribute.
The services tender, touching and
beautiful, were conducted by DR.. Ian
sing Burrows of First Baptist church,
and DR.. Bascom Anthony of First
Methodist
The casket was covered over with
exquisite floral emblems, several sent
from other cities.
While a large assemDlage attended
the services at the residence an even
larger number united in the conclud-
ing service at Oakgrove Cemetery At
the close of this latter service, taps
was sounded by Bugler Smith of
Camp Sumter.
In the passing of Mr.. Lingo, Amer
icus loses one of her oldest and most
esteemed citizens.
He had reached the ripe old age
of seyenty-nine years, and, until a
week ago when sudden and fatal ill
ness seized upon him, was as hale
and strong as man of sixty. No
resident of Sumter county was better
known, and his death will be very
generally deplored.
When yet young man he came to
Americus from Randolph county, and
for probably sixty years he has re-
sided here.
When the gallant Cults Artillery
was organized in 1861 Mr.. Lingo was
among the first to join the battalion,
and during the four years of civil
strife he served his guns bravely and
did a soldiers duty. No more gal
liant soldier wore the Confederate uni
form.
His position was one of danger, al
ways, but with that courage ever
characteristic of the man, he filled it
unf1inchingly.
After the war he engaged in mer
chandising here for some time, and
afterwards served as chief of police
for number of years. AS an official
he was true to every trust imposed;
as a friend he was true and loyal
ever; a brave, chivalric gentleman.
Camp Sumter, 642, United Confed-
crate Veterans, joined in the final
tribute yesterday.
Mr. Lingo is survived by three
daughters, Mrs. H. E. Allen, Mrs. w.
VI. FEsas...1 Of Macon and Mrs. Henry
Priest of Orange, Mass, and ~ two
sons, Mr. Charles Lingo of Americus
and Mr.. George Lingo, who has been
in the west several years.
AS a mark of respect the offices
of the courthouse were closed yester-
day afternoon during the funeral hour.

WAR VESSELS IN BEST
OF TRIM FOR DUTY
Result Is Attributed To
Great Rivalry

Washington, Sept. 13.-Since the
system of competition in the engin-
eering department of the navy was es-
tablished rivalry as keen as that in
the department of craftsmanship and
gunnery has been started, the results
of which are most gratifying to the
Offices of the Bureau of Steam Engin-
eering.
AS with the gunnery department,
prizes are offered for the ship making
the best showing on the examination
by the fleet engineer. During the
voyage around the world last year
experimental competition was con-
Quoted along lines laid down by the
navy department.
According to report made by
Commander Ernest L. Bennett, fleet
engineer, the machinery of the Allan
tic fleet is in surprisingly good condi-
ton. Such repairs as are necessary
will be made when the ships go to
the various navy yards, following
their participation in the Hudson-Ful-
ton celebration.
Engineer officers are displaying
much enthusiasm over the coming
engineering competition between the
vessels of the fleet, which will afford
opportunity to determine speed capac-
ity, economy in the use of coal and
in the consumption of mechanical
supplies generally.
Plans for the winter cruise and
maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet are
being considered at the navy depart
ment, One feature will be a rendez-
vous for target practice and maneu-
vers at Guantanamo, with the engin-
eering competitive tests some time
