Loan of $4,000 Will be Asked of
State Revenue Board to Garry
Ormsby Through Present Finan-
cial Troubles. Some Facts Re-
garding Present Conditions

regarding county affairs of late an,
many questions regarding the why
and wherefores of the present cOndi
| tions of affairs asked. Many blam,
! the County Commissioners and 9th
ers the County Treasurer for the
| present condition. when the factE
! show that no one is to be blamed fol
! the affairs as they exist.
In the first place the County OF
Ormsby has lost $1,000 in gaming Ii
censes during the past year, the
same going TO the city under an Act
of the Legislature.
The Legislature raised the salaries
of the Sheriff ami District Attorney
and thereby the county loses $4,000
more from the salary fund than reck-
oned on when tae tax levy of last
year was made.
Again. under instructions of the
District Attorney. $4,000 was taken
from the general fund to reimburse
the county school fund. which means
another drain on the general fund
OF the county.
When tae County Commissioners
fixed the tax rate for 1909 they had
facing them a raise of 40 cents to
meet a bond issue of $4,000. When
they took this matter under consider
alton they figured that they could
raise the assessment 20 cents and
take the other 90 cents out of the
general fund and thereby get along
and save the taxpayers the addition
al 90 cents. This method was ap-
proved. and as a result the general
fund was depleted another $4,000.
With the mnies lost in this man.
ner from the general fund. and the
$19,477.61 in the Nye & Ormsby
County Bank the total will
show that, through no fault of the
officials. the county is short the
amunt of $31,977.61.
Unlike other counties. Ormsby has
only one fund to draw on for all
emergencies and that is the general
fund, and with the heavy drain Oc-
casioned by the conditions as stated
above it was an impossibility to ward
off the present condition of affairs.

SOAP PINCUSHIONS USED
BY UP-TO-DATE SURGEONS
How and Why They We're Introduced
Into Hospitals.

Baltimore, April Am the operating
rooms of hospitals and on the surgical
carriages in the wards may be seen a
piece of ivory soap stuck with the
varieties of pins which it pleases the
doctor and the head nurse to most
effect.
The black-headed pin long associat-
ed with cIinofine dressings, retains
still an honored place, says the Alum
nae Magazine of Johns Hopkins Hos
pital. The history of the introduction
of the soap into the hospital is IN
teresting.
Three years ago DR.. R. H. Follis
operated upon patient at the Church
Home. The patient was a tailor by
profession and CHANGED to reside al
Annapolis. When dressings were made
he observed the difficulty with which
the safety pins were put through the
binder and suggested trying the
method the cadets at the Naval Acad-
emy had evolved to help in pinning
through their stiff ducks.
This simple but most effective device
was a piece of soap as pin cushion
and he further remarked that carpen-
ters applied the same principle tC
screws, with such success that it has
been generally adopted in the surgica,
service.

NEE TING Is PUT OFF
BECAUSE OF CIRCUS.
Will Probably Be Held on
Friday Night.

The meeting scheduled for tonight
to complete the preliminary organi.
zation of the Americus Industrial De.
velopment Company, has been post.
poned until some later date of which
ample announcement will be made.
The postponement is made owing tc
the fact that Sun Brothers circus gives
a performance tonight. Many who are
desirous of attending the circus are
also interested in the industrial move
ment and requested that a postpone
ment be announced.
Interest in. the movement is appar-
emily decidedly on the increase. The
plans that have been announced have
met with general public approval
Apparently all that is needed now is
to give a further push to the move
ment to bring a much larger number
of citizens inte-line.
While it is not possible to state def
initely, it is probable that the post
poned meeting will be held on Friday
night. 1t is hoped when the meeting
is held to have not less than a hun
dred citizens out There were fifty
at the last meeting and the attendanc
should be doubled at the second pub
lie gathering for this purpose.

PORK AND RUM HIGH
IN THESE GOOD OLD TINES
So Butterflies in 1904 Asked Court To
Fix the Prices on Them.

Butler, Pa, April 4.-Records yellow
with a century's age were unearthed
in the office of Clerk of Courts Robert
M. Mcfarland which show that high
cost-of-living crusade was in progress
as early as 1904.
A document filed With Judge Moor
in that year is signed by 100 citizens,
petitioning the court to "set a stipu-
lated price on provisions for man and
horse and on liquors in the taverns Of
the county"
The petitioners prayed for redress
and asserted: "It is the consensus OF
opinion that 25 cents for a meal Of
victuals and II cents for a half-pint OF
whisky is an extortion, as whisky has
been purchased for 40 cents a gallon
pork from to cents a pound and
flour for 50 per hundredweight.
The records give no evidence as to
whether the prayer which was led hy
Michael Martin, was ever answered.

FINE SPRING DEMAND FOR

There has been excellent demand
for ladies' ready-to-wear garments
this spring, said Mr. Charles L. Ans
ley yesterday. The earliness of Easter
and the GOODNESS of the weather up
to that time did not check the demand
materially, and since Easter there has
been a continued demand that has in
dicated that the present season is to
be one of the best on record. Mr.. Ans
ley is this year showing the largest
and finest line of this class of goods
ever carried in his extensive store

tensive stock of wooden suits, silk suits

OOWDLE is HELD IN
KILLING OF MCGRADY
Negro is Giyen a Trial
Monday.

Luther Dowdle, who bored John
Henry McGrady through the back with
his trusty rife a week ago, was given
a committal trial yesterday before
Judge Crisp and admitted to bail in the
sum of $500 on the charge of man
slaughter. Both negroes lived in the
country near Americas, and while
Dowdle's story at the trial yesterday
was entirely different from that told
Deputy Sheriff Fuller at the time OF
the Killing, he put up the usual plea
of self-defense, which stood him in
good stead. At the time of the killing
Dowdle is said to have stated that he
did not mean to shoot McGrady; and
that the gun was fired by accident.
Yesterday the testimony was to the
effect that, McGrady was trying to
knife Dowdle when the latter bored
him in the back.

capture of Love Randall, the Stewart
county negro who brutally murdered
Richard A. Stratford some weeks ago
has been increased to $800-the largest

enlisting the cooperation of the Off
GERS in other sections with a view of
bringing the brute to justice. To this
end, thousands of post cards have been
mailed out to all sections, giving a
description of Randall, which is as
follows: Color, rather black; age,
about As years; height, 5 feet Z inches;
weight, about 100 pounds.

CIRCUS IN AMFRICUSA
TREAT FOR MULTITUDE
Sun Bros. Show is Here
for Ball Jfit.

Americus In joy spasmodic greets
the first spring circus today for no
other occasion, not even excepting
bonnet day" here, would attract a
greater multitude than will Sun Bros.
Shows which are here for two per-
formances for the benefit of that ag-
gregation we all love so well-the ball
team.
The show will arrive this morning
from Macon, where it has been in win
ter quarters since November last, and
where the first show of the year was
given yesterday.
Everything is new, bright and at
tractive from the polished elephant to
the refined songs of the clown
The show will pitch it's tents out at
the ball park and two performances
as usual-afternoon and night-will be
given, beginning at and 8 p. m.
The program to be offered will be
equally as complete at night time as
at the matinee. The Sun Bros. make
a special feature of the night show
At 1890 p. m. and also at Z p. m. there
Will be a series of free exhibitions,
and these have been heralded as be-
ing something out of the ordinary.
The Sun Bros. lay stress on the
fact that these gratuitous shows are
the best offered by a travelling tented
show in Americus. The Lorello's in
their double cable act, in which they
introduce "Blondin," the elephant
walking tight rope, is worth walking
many blocks to witness. The act was
the hit of the leading hippodromes
last summer. The aerial dental mar
vels, the Cevens troupe, tight wire
wonders the musical and acrobatic
elephants; Miss Marietta, the Scotch
arenic beauty; the only Marinella,
rival for Jim Jeffries' honors and Cor
don Orton and Miss Eileen Sun
equestric carriage artists, are among
the classy ACTS in the big show.
The Americus ball team shares in
all the proceeds of the show and ask
the patronage of all their friends.

SUED FOR THEFT OF
DEAD MANS HEART

Small Fortune.

New York, April 4. - Because the
body of the son she loved was robbed
of its heart, Mrs. Mary Hassard has

former coroner, testified that he had
ordered DR.. Leblanc to return the heart
to the relatives.
