A disagreement about advertising a'"So
with a weekly Journal.
Following it, an attack on US appeared III
their editorial columns; s%neering at the claims
we made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers ana
the weekly" thought w hit back rather 100
hard and thereupOn sned for libel.
The advertisement the weekly" attacked
us about claimed that in many cases Of appen-
djcitis an operation could be avoided By dis
continuing indigestible food, washing out the
bowels and taking a predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort TO
those who fear a surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly writer said that was a lie.
We replied that he was ignorant OF the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not a DR.. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never lnycstl
gated to find out If the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required G~rape-Nuts would not
obviate it. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria germs help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was
grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved by other famous
experts that undlgested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without a knife, but by stop
nipo tho ,,ca Of food which did not digest. and
when food was required again it was helpful
to use a predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs Of digestion.

JAMES TAYLOR is DEAD:
END GAME ON MONDAY
Valued Citizen of AmeriCuS
Passes Away.
AS Citizen and Lawyer
He Was Held in the
Highest Esteem.

The death of Mr.. James Taylor at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, while
not unexpected, caused profound sor-
row throughout the city where he had
SO long resided, Lonored and esteemed
among all. The end came peacefully,
following an illness of ten days, al
though Mr.. Taylor had been in de-
clining health for a much longer
period.
Since his return to Americus from
a Florida health resort two weeks ago,
he began declining rapidly, and even
then it was feared he could not re-
cover.
Besides his wife and little daughter,
Mr.. Taylor is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. S. T. Fort and Miss Susie Tay-
lor, and one brother, Mr.. Jeff Taylor.
The funeral services will be con

Sl4O A TON FOR
ALL BROOM CORN
Am0riCuS Factory is Eager
to Contract.

Mr.. s. P. Gray the broom manu-
facturer, offers $40 ton for all the
broom straw of good quality that is
raised in the vicinity Of Americus.
Broom corn is a scarce commodity
and is apparently growing scarcer
every year. Large quantities Of !,
are being imported from Europe to
meet the American demand. And with
the increasing requirements of con-
sumers there is every likelihood Of
very high prices prevailing.
Mr.. Gray is anxious to get sufficient
broom corn planted in this vicinity
to assure a supply for a factory that
can turn out large supply of brooms
to meet the demands of the trade in
this part of Georgia. His factory is
making fifty dozen month all sold
in advance to the Americus Grocery
Company. 1t would be no trouble to
dispose of several times that number.
THE machinery is simple and costs
but little, the broom-makers are to be
had, but the broom corn is the trou-
BILE. Given the broom corn Mr.. Gray
will turn out the brooms al right.
On any kind of good soil the pro-
duction of broom corn ranges on to-
ward the thousand pound mark. At
$l4O a ton there is a handsome profit
in it to the grower. Mr.. Gray will
furnish the seeds. He has a. large
supply of them on hand. The United
States government has issued a PAM
phlet dealing with the raising of
broom corn that can be had for the
asking. There is no reason why this
should not be made a successful money
crop in this territory. II Mr.. Gray
could not use all raised there are man
ufaeturers from one end of the coun-
try to the other seeking supplies.
But with the prospect of the broom
factory here being assisted and having
number of men at work the coming
fall and winter there is every lfkeli-
hood of its requiring every pound
that can be raised in this vicinity.

James Taylor was born in Americus
on May s, 1873 He was the son of
Eleazar and Clara (HoIlis) Taylor,
his father having a large plantation
near Smithyille, Mr. Taylor passed
through the public schools and then
entered the State Agricultural College
at Cuthbert, going from that institu-
tion to the University of Georgia,
where he graduated with the degree
of A. B. in the class of 1898.
Returning to his fathers plantation,
Mr. Taylor there studied law at home
under the instruction of Judge G. W.
Warwick, of Smithville He was adj
mitted to the bar at Leesburg in
March. 1894, and at once removed
to Americus and began practice.
In 1896 Mr.. Taylor was elected city
attorney of Americus, serving seven
years in that important position. He
was elected to the legislature in 1905
to fill the unexpired term of J. Henry
Lumpkln and was overwhelmingly re-
elected in the ensuing party primary
serving efficiently at Atlanta and to
the entire satisfaction of his con-
stituents. Fearing that legislative du-
ties interfered too much with his pro-
fessional work, he declined to stand
for another term.
Mr. Taylor was married to Miss Lucy
Middleton Cobb, daughter of Capt.
John A. Cobb, on November 10, 1897.
